Takashi sat there and listened to his cousin, Mitskuni, tell a story to the other kids in their class. Mitskuni turned to Takashi and gave him a huge smile. He grunted to show he was in a good mood as well. A few kids ran into the room with energetic smiles on there faces.

"There was a fight outside! It was awesome. We didn't get a good look, but it was a new kid that did it. They beat the other guy in one hit. Our teacher-" One of the boys said until he was interrupted by the homeroom teacher stormed in.

The teacher's face was as red as a maraschino cherry. His ears seemed to leak stem he was so furious. "Alright class! Get in your seats! Now I would like to inform you that we have a new student. Come in Karin-chan."

A person stepped through the door. They wore the boys' uniform. At a glance from the corner of the eye, you would've thought it was a guy with long hair, but when you looked closely, it was definitely a girl. She had long, thick black hair that fell to her waist. She was definitely a girl when you looked at her chest, too. She had eyes that were the prettiest, brightest clue you could imagine. She was tall, too. Maybe a few inches less than Takashi. To Takashi, she was truly beautiful. Everyone started murmuring about her the instant she walked in.

"Now, introduce yourself Karin."

"Hello. I'm Karin Takumi." She mumbled.

The teacher sighed and his face went a lighter shade of red. Sort of pink, but not exactly t that point. "Go sit next to, uh, Mori-kun!"

She walked past everyone and ignored the stares. She didn't even seem fazed by the gossip already spreading about her. Takashi respected that. Someone tugged on his sleeve and he glanced down. Mitskuni stared at him with big puppy eyes.

"What is it, Mitskuni?"

"Well, she reminds me of Haruhi-chan. She has to dress in a boy's uniform too."

"Yes, that's true."

"Well, what if she thinks she's trying to look like a guy?"

"That's not my goal." Karin said. She was wresting her chin in the middle of her left palm and stared straight at them. Takashi was surprised that she even heard that. He had been absolutely sure him and Mitskuni were whispering in the lowest tone possible so that others around them would not hear a word of the entire conversation.

"Then what's your goal?" Mitskuni asked.

"If I told you that, I might not accomplish it, would I?" She said with an evil smirk.

"I want to talk to yah more!" Mitskuni pouted.

"Why don't you invite her to the Host Club, Mitskuni?"

"Yeah! Karin-chan, can I take you to the Host Club later?"

Karin looked surprised at the offer, and then regained her composure. "I suppose I could spare a few minutes."

"Yay!" Mitskuni cheered.

Karin hated wearing the stuffy school uniform. She remembered how when she was a child, she would've given anything to wear a guy's uniform. Now that she was wearing one, she regretted ever wanting one. She preferred a dress any day. Although, wearing the guys' uniform was her father's idea. Her family was a group of well-trained shinobi, or more known as ninjas now-a-days, that also trained the worlds' best known fighters in any known form of combat. Due to this, some people decide to target the Takumi family. So in the end, the heirs are targeted first. Her father told Karin that she either needed to wear a boys uniform or have body guards constantly around. Her choice was obvious. Now she wishes she chose the bodyguard option.

The strange little boy who Mori had called Mitskuni dragged her down the hallway to a music room.

"Music room three? I thought we were going to go to this Host Club of yours?"

Mori nudged the doors open. The doors were swung open and it opened up to a fancy room. Scattered around were large silk couches surrounding small coffee table. There were five people standing in there already. A blonde that was running to a guy crying, the one that was chasing him was smaller and had brown hair (he looked like a girl to Karin, but she wasn't sure of it yet), two twins with orange spiky hair laughing, and a tall guy with glasses that was scribbling in a black notebook. She knew that guy with the glasses, but she couldn't place it. They were all dressed in traditional old era Japanese clothing. The blonde stopped when he saw the three standing at the door. He pranced over and took Karin's hand. He placed a gentle kiss on her hand and glanced up.

"Hello my princess." He said.

"You. Better. Back. Off." She growled through clenched teeth.

He jumped back. "That was rude."

"Tamaki-chan! This is Karin-chan! It's her first day here, so I'm going to be her host. Is that okay?" Mitskuni said enthusiastically.

"That's fine, Honey." Tamaki said, "Did you here that, Kyoya?"

Kyoya? Why does that name sound familiar? Karin thought.

Kyoya glanced up and he went still. His notebook and pen fell from his hand and flew across the floor. He slowly sank to his knees. Everyone ran to him, except Karin. She stood there and eyed the window. Something had caught her eye just a few seconds before that, but she had ignored it. Now she was interested, but she wasn't going to do anything. If it was somebody, they did that as a distraction.

"It seems like he's paralyzed." Haruhi said.

"Paralysis?" Karin ran over and shoved everyone out-of-the-way. She could see his breathing was starting to slow to where it looked like he was dead. She stuck her hand down into her pocket and searched around for a second. She pulled out a needle full of clear liquid. It was a serum she had just made that morning to cure poisons or toxins that could mess with the body. Her father said they would test it out later that afternoon, but she couldn't just save it and watch him die. "I'm sorry, but this is going to hurt like hell."

She uncapped the needle and sent it straight into his thigh. She injected it and his face contorted in pain. His body went into a spasm. Kyoya cried out in agony. Tamaki went to launch himself at Karin for hurting him, but Mori held him back. Karin took Kyoya's arms and stretched them away from his body.

"That'll help him breathe a little better. I need someone to get some water. A lot of cool water. He'll be thirsty."

She heard someone run out to get some water and she watched as his body contracted violently. Suddenly, his body stilled. Everyone stared in surprise. A tense silence fell upon the room. Karin moved and rested her left ear over where his heart should be. There was no beat. Karin went into immediate action. She began CPR on him. She continued this for two minutes. She began to cry. She wasn't going to let him die. Someone walked over and rested a hand on her shoulder.

"He's gone."
