"oh, excuse...me?" Kyoya went to the floor, picking up his laptop & notebook he had dropped in his daze. Looking up, he could see deep purple & black hair that was spiked down covering one eye, a neon green hoodie, & bright, almost highlighter like, purple pants.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, this is all my fault." The boy looked about Kyoya's age, maybe a year younger, & height-wise he had at least a foot on Kyoya. He reached down a hand, helping to pick up the pile of files & other important they were all neatly tucked under his arm, the boy stood, holding a hand out to help Kyoya up.
Almost shocked, Kyoya took the new-comer's offer, & got pulled up.
His visible gray eye flashed at Kyoya. "I'm Ichijo Yuikirwa."
"Kyoya Ootori." They shook hands, Ichijo holding on a bit longer than necissary.
"Pardon my asking, but, What happened." It took a minute for Kyoya to understand what he ment.
"Oh, my hand? I, uh, broke a piece of glass." The glasses-clad boy hoped he didn't have to go into explanation; nobody knew about him & Kaoru, not even Hikaru, Kaoru's twin brother.
"Wow, bad luck." Ichijo stared up at the high ceiling, seemingly pondering something.
"Well, Ichijo, what brings you to Ouran High School?" Kyoya asked, trying to be polite.
"Right!" he seemed to be coming out of a long nap and just remembered what he was supposed to do before it."I'll be attending Ouran starting tommorow."
"Really? What do your parents do?" Kyoya was shocked at this; this boy looked like he just got fired from an American runway showing off Japanese comoner styles.
"Just my mom, really. I don't have any memory of my dad or what HE did, he died a week before my 1st birthday. But, that's alright, doesn't matter to me. My mom is head of Yuikirwa International Travel & Care."
"You're THAT Yuikirwa? I've heard of YITC. In fact, My family is one of their allies." "As have I heard of you. Your family's hospitals have taken care of my family a lot in the past 20 or more years." Ichijo grinned welcomingly. "It's a pleasure to meet one of the Ootori's"
"Same here. What class are you entering tommorow?"
"2-A" "Ichijo, it seems we are to be classmates. On behalf of Ouran academy & the Host Club, I want to welcome you warmly & hope you enjoy this fine school."
"That's all good & all Kyoya, but...isn't class in session now?"
"Yes. Why?"
"You aren't attending class?"
"Well, you see, I am the supervisor & vice-president of the Host Club here. I have to leave early from class to set up for the day."
"Ahh, I see." Ichijo went quiet, looking almost like a lost puppy.
"Ichijo?" At his name, he turned expectantly. "Would you care to join me?"
"Woah, thanks Kyoya! I believe this is the start of a wonderful friendship & firm alliance between our families." "Me too, Ichijo. I think we will get along swimingly." They walked along to Music Room 3, Ichijo behind Kyoya, acting as his tail.
Ichijo's eyes trained on Kyoya's rear-end, a small grin placed on his lips, he couldn't help but lick his lips at the sight. 'I wonder how long I can hold back.' He wondered to himself.

The remainder of that class was spent with Kyoya telling Ichijo about the Host Club in every detail possible. Ichijo appeared to be so engrossed in his soon-to-be classmates' club that his eyes were wide & his mouth was a bit gaped.
"So, what do you think?" Kyoya's glasses flashed in the false school lighting.
"I think this is an odd thing to ask, but...is it possible for me to stay & observe for today?" Kyoya chuckled lightly. "Of course."

The hosts situate themselves for their costumers. Hunny & Mori to the side with cake & tea, Hikaru toward the middle trying to work on his 'lonely twin' act, Tamaki exactly in the middle trying out new princley poses, Haruhi putting out tea & cups with trays of treats, & lastly Kyoya & Ichijo to the side of Hikaru, talking & grining softly.
Haruhi walked over to the both of them, eyes bright & curious at their guest.
"Um..." She had to cough to get their attention. "hello."
"Haruhi, this is Ichijo Yuikirwa, he is starting at Ouran tommorow & wanted to watch in on our club."
"Pleased to meet you, Haruhi Fujioka." Ichijo spoke warmly, holding out a hand to her.
"um, same here. How'd you know..."
"Your name? I know more about you than you think girlie." Ichijo's visible eyebrow rose.
"g-...girlie?" Haruhi's face distorted a bit, but then she composed herself quickly. "I think you've been hanging out with Kyoya-sempai too much."
"Haruhi, he's only been here for a day & i just met him not even 20 minutes ago." Kyoya's black eyes rose to her face.
"I do my research, Haruhi. I know more than one thing about everyone in this room that others don't know, probably not even their parents know." At that, his eyes quickly darted to Kyoya, but Haruhi thought she was just imagining that.
"It's going to be a long 2 semesters." Haruhi sighed as she walked away.
******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Kyoya's customers seemed interested in Ichijo & why he was here now. Questions like: Is he your apprentice, Why is your hair this way, Why is your hair that color, & things protaining to that were tossed around. Halfway through all of this, Ichijo stretched an arm behind Kyoya's neck, coming around to rest on the opposite shoulder. The surrounding girls squeeed, blushed, & tensed, waiting to see what the two boys would do.
"I'm not Kyoya's apprentice, but I do enjoy being around him. He's cool & calm, what's not to like about him. He a full package." Kyoya only blinked at Ichijo, wondering where this whole thing was going himself.
With a sigh, Ichijo leaned in to Kyoya to whisper in his ear.
"Trust me on this one Kyoya. We can get them going alright? I mean, I do love the way you act when you don't know where to put your hands." A light blush ran across Kyoya's face, visible to the assembly of girls that seemed to be growing. Kyoya gave a slight nod to Ichijo. The girls seeing the blush on the shadow king earned many gasps & widening eyes.
Moving back, Ichijo used his other hand to hold Kyoya's chin in place, facing him.
Ichijo closed the gap between them, their lips locking. Girls fainted, reddened, & anything else that could've shown their love for the scene before them.
1 minute passes, 2 minutes, 3, & at the end of 4 minutes Ichijo's tongue ran across Kyoya's lips, causing the Ootori to tense & shiver.
Pulling away, Ichijo grinned.
"Yeah...the sweet taste of Kyoya." Ichijo said dreamily, making the remaing girls fall to the floor. "I like this school already."
