The students stared out, not wanting to move. They weren't even that close to their old school, true they loved it but the major reason was, Ouran embodied everything they were trained not to be.
But, of course, it was the closest school that batch could go too.
Sousui glanced around the train, seeing the distressed faced of her peers. Her eyes were sad and soft, feeling for them. She wanted to show them it would be okay,that they had to keep their faces calm and show they were not whiny little pansies.
She stood tall, her face almost completely void of emotion. Everyone, including her club members looked up at her. She gestured with a nod for the other five to rise with her.
They did so silently and the six of them gracefully walked out of the train like royalty during the Reign of Terror. Their eyes were cast down and not a soul could tell what they were even thinking, in fact they themselves had trouble sorting their thoughts.
Sousui was the first out since she was leading the group and sat down on a bench with her carry on bag.
She stared at her shoes, trying to cope with the move.
She wished she could go home and just not go to school until her real school was finished. It wasn't fair that she had to go to a pompous rich bitch school and miss out on work and be away from her Mother and brother.
Worst of all, being closer to Ouran meant being closer to...
"Sousui..." Ranma muttered quietly, breaking her from her thoughts.
"Hm? Oh, yes, Ranma?" Sousui asked, shaking her head slightly. "What is it?"
Instead of answering, the sandy haired girl merely pointed at the buses pulling in to sweep them away to the inns they would be staying at while attending Ouran.
A collective groan sounded at the sight of them,
even from the usually compsed Sousui. She sighed heavily and stood once more. "No sense in waiting..."
She stated quietly and made her way on to the bus.
It took another hour to get to the traditonal Japanese style inn that they would be living in for the next year or two.
While Sousui was unpacking Kana and Mana sauntered into her room.
"Hello you two. Are you already done getting settled in?"
She closed the drawer she just filled and stood to look at them.
They shook their heads in unison and smiled. "We'll do it again" Mana said sweetly, clutching Kana's hand.
"We wanted to see what you were up too" Kana said in the same tone.
The twins were always nosy, trying to to at anytime catch a glimpse into people's personal lives.
So it was no surprise that they were trying to figure out their "Fearless leader".
No one knew much about Sousui, and the twins were desperate to snag onto a sliver of info they could analyze and ultimately find a way to benifit them.
Sousui made sure anything incriminating was tucked away and smiled at them politely. "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"Well...." Mana swayed a little on the back of her heels, forcing Kana to sway with her. "We kind of were hoping you knew why we have to be away from school so long?"
Kana tugged on her sister slightly, stopping the swaying, and continued the question. "Yeah, I mean school has a lot of money can't it just be done in a month?
The long black haired girl shook her head. "I guess it doesn't work that way. One, the budget was tight and to get a grant for the building and equipment is more than the board could manage. Also, I heard rumors that they 'Think this might be a good experience for us'"
"That's stupid!" Kana spat, Mana gently pulled her hand to calm her "a good experience? Dealing with pretentious little snobs who probably have no idea what it means to suffer!"
"Kana..." Mana's eyes were big and concerned. "Calm yourself...It'll be okay..."
The darker haired twin's voice sounded unsure but she tried to force a smile. "How...how bad can they be?"
Sousui nodded, faking a smile as well. "Yes, Kana.
Everything will be gre-"
Soak it in dirt and wash it off You wear my mask, does that make you GOD?
/DEAD BORN I will feel pity for you 666 All you have is just a fa ade Everyone laughs at you behind your back Who looks at you?/
Sousui's phone went off, singing Dir en Grey's Hydra 666 and almost vibrating off the table.
She quickly caught it and glanced at the caller ID.
"Uh, I have to take this..." She shooed the twins out before they could protest, shut the door and locked it.
'Why? Why is he calling?' She stared at the phone again, watching it fall silent and the screen go dark. '3...2...1..." She counted in her head and on cue the phone began to sing again.
'God please let it just be about work...'
She slowly flipped the phone open and brought it up to her face. "H-hello..?"
"Hello Sousui." replied a dark male voice. "SO I heard you're going to Ouran now. That must mean you're in town."
