FOREWORD
The night was young, the party would begin soon, and so far everything was going according to plan.
I stood out front, in the schoolyard, on the cobblestone pathway leading up to the school's doors. "Are you sure about this?" I asked cautiously, watching the students file into the school. They were all dressed casually, and it was quite a change from seeing them all in their uniforms. I didn't think the Host Club had ever had an event quite like this before.
"Of course I am! You can't be getting cold feet now, Kaoru?" Hikaru clapped me on the back confidently—I flinched, though if it was from his blow or nerves, I couldn't quite determine.
"No, no. Of course not."
Sakura ran up, and linked her arm around Hikaru's. "You ready to go, sweetthing?"
"Yeah, come on." He started to turn towards the school's doors. Sakura followed, flipping her white-blonde ringlets over her shoulder and giggling.
"Wait," I said. Hikaru looked over his shoulder at me expectantly. "What if something goes wrong?"
Hikaru laughed. "Trust me. Everything will be fine."
"You sure?"
"Just fine. Come on."
Something I feel needs clearing up.
This is a reupload of the same story I had up before, under the same name. I had to reupload it, because I wanted to change the beginning, to make things more interesting. I'm sorry for an inconvenience you feel there was due to the deletion of the previous form of this story. But thank you for going out of your way to read the new and improved version!
The rest of the story from now on should be as planned from before.
