I've just decided. With each chapter, there'll be a song that kind of sets a theme to it. Last chapter it was Secret Valentine by We The Kings. For this chapter, it's 'Is It You' by Cassie. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!!

The Bees and Butterflies: Is It You

"Welcome, welcome!" a blinding light greeted the flock of some ten to fifteen girls that waited in the halls. Arisu glanced at Renge who looked as if she was ready to receive the award for school's greatest otaku.

"There doesn't seem to be that many people..." Arisu mentioned to Renge. Renge totally ignored her as she joined in with the other screaming girls. Arisu then decided to scream with them for the effect.

The girls were ushered into the room where they went to go meet with their host. In all of the excitement, Renge left her behind where Arisu stood lost and confused in the center of the ballroom. It was a nice place with expensive-looking furniture and lots of food. She thought about taking some food and leaving but decided that would be rude.

Kyoya Ootori noticed her bewilderment and approached her with a professional smile.

"Welcome Arisu Sasaki. Is there something I can help you with?"

"I don't know." She wanted to ask how he knew her name without ever speaking to her in his life but she felt it would be rude as well.

"Are you Arisu Sasaki?!" a dramatic voice exploded a short distance from her. Arisu quickly flipped her head around to see the second-year's most gorgeous student, Tamaki Suoh. He must have spun around once for he landed on his knees in the most graceful form. "It is my honor to be in your beautiful presence, mademoiselle!" Arisu smiled. "I saw your editorial work in last month's issue and you looked like a glorious angel!"

"Thanks," she continued to smile hoping secretly that Kaoru would overhear her. She was tempted to glance over but Tamaki and Kyoya were very, very important people in the aristocracy.

"Since this is your first time and you're a special guest, you can try any of our hosts for free," Kyoya offered. Arisu's head snapped up.

"Do you usually do this to first-time customers?"

"Well, customers are suppose to set appointments and according to our schedule here, there is a four month waiting period since we like to keep our groups small and personal. However, for you, we'll make an exception," he smiled eerily. As he walked off, she wondered if he hid many dark secrets behind his glasses. It was true, she thought, that people were naturally attracted to and repelled from Kyoya at the same time. Haruhi was taking a break when she spoke to Kyoya about the new customer.

"Who is that?"

"That's Arisu Sasaki. I suspect a commoner like you wouldn't know anything about her type," Kyoya sighed. "Arisu comes from a family of supermodels that have tremendous influence on the high fashion industry."

"High fashion?"

"Do you remember ever venturing into those stores where you would have to pay a thousand dollars for a pair of shoes that strongly resembles a pair of shoes found at the commoner's mall for a thousand yen?"

"Actually, you can find thousand-dollar shoes at the commoner's mall," Haruhi stated. "That's probably explains why she misses a lot of classes." She said.

Back to where Tamaki and Arisu were, Arisu requested as politely as she could that she didn't want Tamaki as her host.

"Next time?" she asked. "I can bring my portfolio if you want to see it?"

"Actually..." Tamaki exchanged glances between her and the group that surrounded Haruhi. "...is it possible you can get a portfolio of Haruhi?" Arisu blinked. "I've always wanted to see my Haruhi wear the pretty clothes that you wear!"

'He's gay,' Arisu concluded. "That's not really for me to decide...I can let you borrow some of the dresses I have."

"Yes, yes, but that means you'll have to come see us again and bless us with your angel face!" Tamaki grinned. "So who do you want to see?" She was about to look over to where Hikaru and Kaoru were when an explosion of screaming fangirls echoed throughout the ballroom. She almost fainted seeing Hikaru and Kaoru on the borderline of fondling each other.

'Them too?!' The color on Arisu's face drained to the color of blank paper. She felt the fantasy of Kaoru as the knight in shining armor and she as the princess begin to fade into Kaoru as the princess and Hikaru as the knight in shining armor. She was the brokenhearted maiden that the readers didn't notice in the corner.

"Well, I see you like those type of boys," Tamaki winked.

"I do?" Arisu gave a helpless look. Before she knew it, she was pushed to where Hikaru and Kaoru sat. Three of the girls that were on the couch opposite to Hikaru and Kaoru glanced at Arisu before they squealed with excitement.

"Arisu!! We never knew you liked twincest too!!"

"Models like that stuff too?"

"Join us!" they quickly shifted over seats to make room for her. Arisu was shoved into the seat on the end where Hikaru and Kaoru grinned simultaneously at the thought of entertaining more guests.

"So you finally come out of the closet," one of the twins said. She didn't know which one. She believed it was Hikaru for the way his hair parted to his left. Kaoru parted his hair to his right. That was their default hair style. "What would you like to see us do, Arisu?"

"We'll kiss for you," Hikaru was trying with all of his effort to suppress a grin. "Or would you like to see us embrace one another."

"Choose, Arisu! Choose!" the girls chanted. Arisu had no time to think as her heart was frozen and her eyes couldn't leave Kaoru's face. Whenever she went on a modeling campaign, she had seen so many beautiful and handsome men. She treated them all like brothers and friends, and spoke to even the most gorgeous of them with ease and without anxiety. Here, Kaoru was only an inch or two taller than her. He was very, very cute but she had seen male models more handsome than Kaoru but for some reason—she couldn't even think why she liked him.

She wondered if Kaoru could read her mind. His laugh broke the invisible forces of unintentional peer pressure. Hikaru then giggled with him and the girls next to Arisu sighed, feeling their hearts melt like warm, chocolate goo.

"We shouldn't be so tough on her. Mom would be upset if she quits because of us."

"What?" one of the girls expressed her confusion.

"All of you know that our mother is a high fashion designer..." Hikaru began.

"...and Arisu is one of our best models, isn't that right?" Kaoru grinned at her. Arisu nodded but found that she was unable to speak. She could deal with the stress of having school exams and racing to fashion shows within the same day. Now, she couldn't even say a word to her imagined elusive Prince Charming. Arisu was now dying to ask if her face looks like a tomato. And tomatoes can't speak.

"I've always wanted to be a Hitachiin model!" one of the girls said cheerfully.

"There's no need to be," Hikaru held her hands. "You're far prettier than any model."

"Hikaru!" Kaoru's hand tugged Hikaru's sleeves. "I thought you said I was more beautiful than any model. I can't believe...that you'd say that someone else so quickly after last night," his eyes became teary.

"I'm so sorry, Kaoru! You know that in my heart, you are beyond beauty. You are the apple in my pie, the notes to my piano, and the keys to my car!" The two then embraced each other more fondly than two brothers would. The girls erupted into cheers and shrills of joy while Arisu gaped in helpless confusion.

This absurdity went on for a few more hours until Kyoya told her it was time to leave. The last of the girls were to be escorted to their rides home. Picking up the hints from Kyoya and Tamaki, Kaoru walked Arisu to her limo ride.

"How did you like your first time?" Kaoru asked. "We like virgins the best." He grinned mischievously. Arisu laughed cheerfully.

"It was a lot to handle," Arisu smiled and for the first time she felt her smile probably looked ridiculous to him. Her heart wouldn't stop racing the whole afternoon and wondered how she didn't get a heart attack. She finally had her chance of being alone with Kaoru after how many years of admiring from the distance whenever she went to the Hitachiin estate. Yuzuha Hitachiin, their mother, often gathered the models there to try on the clothes she made, and Arisu always hoped that deep down that she would introduce her sons to them again, but that never happened. Whenever she ran into Kaoru, it was coincidental when she had to use the restroom.

"Will we be seeing you tomorrow?" Kaoru asked. Arisu shook her head.

"K-Kyoya said that there was a three...four-month waiting period," she swore at herself silently for stuttering.

"Just give Kyoya some money and you can see us again. You know you want to," Kaoru grinned as he opened the door for her. Arisu was thankful that it was too dark for him to see that her face was turning red again. 'He's probably joking,' she repeated to herself. 'He doesn't like me,' she said to calm herself down. She sat inside and tried to smile at him but she was too scared that looking at him might show how obvious it was that he knew she had the biggest crush on him.

"See you tomorrow," Kaoru bowed like a prince before he shut the door calmly.

As the car was driving away, Arisu grinned and couldn't help but react like a little girl who had received a pony for her birthday. Kaoru spoke to her! Kaoru spoke to her, which meant ultimately that she could hope that there was a Prince Charming waiting for her and only her.
