Say you mean it

Theres an aching in my back ..

Jaesey rested her head against the back of the leather seat of the limousine and sighed inwardly. This really shouldn't be happening. She should not be All the way in Japan, attending a new school, with new people, new teachers and a new everything. And she certainly shouldn't be even thinking about marriage. Unless is was forced upon her, which it was. She often asked herself why they had to die like that. Why they had to be so careless and why she wasn't there. A school field trip had kept her out of grasp of death itself. She had escaped death, how lovely. She missed her family dearly. Her mother was always supportive of her. Truly, they were best friends. She had not seen her biological father in years. she had no idea if he even knew what happened and she was relieved for that. If he had tried to take her in, she didn't know what she would have done. Slap him and run maybe? That seemed like the most logical situation which was ridiculous. He was her father .. Wasn't he? Sure, she had gotten a couple drop in visits, where he usually hid it form her mother. He would always say ..

"Madam? Were here." they had stopped at some overly rich bastards house. Her wording was rude .. but she hadn't been looking forward to this meeting and wasn't overly fond of the idea of having her life planned out for her. She merely nodded solemnly and stepped out of the car, were she gave a gatekeeper her name and was let in with a short 'We've been expecting you.' She had ridden with her grandmother, who lived in Japan. Precisely why she was here. "Jaejae, It will be fine." Her grand mther gave her a warm smile. "Oh .. I'm not really that nervous." She was. It was weird .. Reluctant, but anxious. She brushed her bangs out of her face, were they found their place neatly. she bit the inside of her cheek, a habit she had developed at an early age. The younger and older women were greeted by a house maid, who led them to the main room. She followed in her dismay to what she liked to think of as the end of her life. simple.

"Ah. Miss Russato!" She hated being called by her last name. Everybody here was so god damned formal. He smiled at her, implying he wanted some sort of response. they hadn't given her any names though .. "Yes .. Sorry for the wait .. Mister.. ehhh .." She trailed off. Luckily her grandmother, the old hag finally decided to be useful.

"This man is Mister Ootori. His son- "

"Ootori Kyouya." He finished for her and stepped up to shake her grandmothers and her own hands. She took it, only vaguely.

"Russato Jaesey Rae"

"Jaesey is fine .." She added, a little hesitant.

"Then Kyouya is too."

She caught his gaze, then gave him a once over. Though it was well apparent before, he was gorgeous. His skin was pale, his eyes were dark. They seemed knowing .. calculating. The glasses he wore weren't too far up his nose, but certainly weren't in risk of falling off. They just added to the look. Her eyes slid to his sleek back hair .. his uniform fit him smugly .. she briefly wondered what his home attire was before shaking it off. She wasn't fooled. "Everything okay?"

She broke form her daze to Ootori .. Kyouya's question. "everything is fine." He smiled coolly. "I'm sure father doesn't want us being much later than we already are. Your in my homeroom and its the first day of school. I can show you around?" It felt rehearsed. "Thank you .. Kyouya. " She paused briefly then took the initiative that they were going together. "Shall we go?"

While most girls might have swooned at the situation, Jaesey wasn't all that happy about it. The car drive wasn't awkward. Kyouya talking about politics, Ouran academy, and lots of boring things. She nodded along with it, but didn't really take any of it in. She thought about this. Kyouya was being quite courteous to her. It wasn't that she didn't like the attention. It just felt so overwhelmingly wrong. She could already tell her and Otor- Kyouya were two very different people who were mostly likely doing this for the same reasons. To please their families.

They arrived. Ouran was absolutely stunning. She was at a loss for words. With the bright, warm atmosphere it held, to the bubbly people all around her. From the elegant decor inside to the green gardens surrounding the outside. Ouran was just as breathtaking were ever you went. For the first time that day she smiled a real smile. She could handle this. Kyouya noticed her change in attitude and was grateful for it. He could tell she was deliberately keeping distance between them. He had been trying to be as friendly as possible. If anything, he didn't want her to change her mind.

"Ouran is beautiful, inside and out. Its one of a kind, an elite private school. The majority of the students that got o school here come form wealthy families, with minor exceptions. " Kyouya stated matter of factly. She came out of a short daze. "I see .. don't we need to get going?" she didn't look like she was all that interested in going to class .. another wall.

Kyouya introduced her to his classmates. That included Tamaki. It was going to be another long year with that idiot.

"Mother! I missed you so much I didn't get to see you all summer .."

"You saw me last weekend. " He said this bluntly and sat down, already annoyed out of his skull.

"Well yes, but daddy doesn't like to be separated fro- .. Wait, Is she your girlfriend?"

Had he really just said that? So .. Tamaki like. She was sitting next to him. Jaesey slumped her head down onto her desk. Not liking the fact she had to go through this again. Kyouya saved her the trouble.

"Tamaki .. Formally speaking she's my fiancée. Good? " He patted his head, like a dog and turned his shoulders around so he was facing the front. "Now thats settled." He muttered. Tamaki wanted to burst around and slap Kyouya for not telling him and hug him at the same time. but the lesson began and Tamaki resigned, paid attention to the front.

Jaesey made lots of new friends, though she didn't think she would of. Rich people were nicer than they looked. She called them rich people, because compared to her they all were. hough she descended from a family - a business .. They hadn't been all that rich. They just happened to be a very good client of the Ootori's and when her grandmother asked for help .. they gave it? It didn't really make sense to her. they had after all asked for help not a resurrection. She was asked to hang out at a somebody's house over the weekend and there was a couple glances from some senior boys. She sighed inwardly. the day was finally over. She was tired and she was hungry and she was sick of so many people staring at her. Not many people were supposed to know exactly why she was here. Maybe it was because she was the fiancée to the third son of the Ootori family? That bites. Fiancée .. she didn't even know somebody very well and so far didn't like them very much either. and she had to spend the rest of eternity with him? Or until it blows over. Which it will, most likely.

"Jaesey? .. I attend a club. the host club, so I wont be escorting you home. but if you like, you can stop in for a few minutes." A host club? She contemplated this. She really wanted to go home , and it really only meant for more meetings and more confrontations. She was about to say no. She then abruptly changed her mind, she didn't really know why. She kind of wanted to see his club, though she would never admit it. " Why not. Ive got nothing better to do." She said it lazily, because she didn't want to seem eager. "Lets see this host club .. " She added, with a slight smile. She might as well try to be nice in return?

Anyone guessed it was Kyouya before this? ~

I may have some other pairings, maybe , maybe not. I didnt know who to put them in a class with. I was gonna the twins but decided against it. If I had the twins I wanted Haruhi in there too, which would have been pretty unlikely coincidence .. Ahh. I ramble.
