As soon as the two girls disappeared in to the building, the attention intensified on Rin. Everyone who saw her took the time to stop and say hello or give a compliment, faculty and student alike. Rin happily responded to all of them a best she could, Zaina keeping her on track to reach the administrative office of the school.

"Aren't you popular already," she teased Rin as she pulled her away from a small group of girls that were admiring her in the school uniform. The fact that they could say so much to her about a simple yellow gown that they also wore was a little entertaining to Zaina but she knew it was hardly as simple as that. In her time with the Chibana family she had come to realize that the rich folk of society were always on the prowl. Be it the next marriage merger or the chance to speak with someone who was more influential, they were always looking for new bridges to build to scramble their way to the top or keep afloat where they are. I get how relations or knowing someone can get you somewhere in life, but to go so far as these people do is insane…but then again, look at where they are and where I am. There was no real issue with where she was, she certainly preferred it to the overly free time the young generation of the rich have. They stopped again for Rin, this time for teachers. Shouldn't they at least be helping us o stay on time? She sighed as she watched as Rin softly smiled and maneuvered the situation with such grace. It was certainly a sight to behold, a delicate young flower easily navigating social interactions. I could never do that. I'd end up with three feet in my mouth somehow. She thought over her own social interactions that were severely lacking grace in comparison to Rin.

Rin was hardly surprised by the attention from the people in school. In her last school, all was the same. Some fawned over her and the success of her family while others wanted some excuse to be able to say she and them where friends. There were the few who envied her status and abilities to freely move around more than them. The dynamic never changed, which was a good thing.

I'm sure they'll end up labeling me as the queen in no time. She thought to herself as she excused herself from the faculty and the two continued on their journey, finally reaching the destination with no more interruptions. The only reason being that it was just around the corner. The warm receptions continue, but this time with any last-minute paperwork and basic explanations of what goes on in the school and anything important that was or was not allowed. When all was settled, they were led on a tour of the campus with large gorgeous libraries and state-of-the-art equipment all adorned with the finest classroom furniture.

As they moved along through the tour, Zaina noted the teacher kept glancing her way. Rin had also noted the frequent stares of disapproval. She glanced over at Zaina as well, uncertain what was the issue at first.

"Teacher, is there a reason you keep stopping to look at Zaina?" Rin finally asked, curious to know the reason. The school is just like the last school, the only difference is set-up and offered electives…though that is a marginal deviation at best. They certainly have better labs here. She glanced in to the currently occupied science room.

"Excuse me, but what do you mean?" The teacher politely responded.

"I noticed you've been looking at Zaina quite a lot. I do hope it isn't because she is half-Japanese. That wouldn't do at all." Rin frowned, that the only real aspect she could conclude when looking at Zaina. She had dark hair like most, however her eyes were grey and her features were a litter sharper than most Japanese features.

"Oh, no no! Not at all, we have many students of varying ethnicities here! One prime example is Tamaki Suoh! I was merely observing her uhm…choice of dress. It isn't the girl's uniform." He clarified.

"I've got permission from the headmaster to wear something that is easy to move in so that I can make sure to take the best care for Ms. Chibana with ease. Wearing a yellow dress with ruffled under skirts a top of penny loafers is hardly a suitable ensemble for quick reactions." Zaina answered.

"Yes…that is true, however the school handbook has specifications of what is or is not allowed in the school. I'm sure there was something else doable." He tried to reason. "Also, our school is one of the safest in the nation. There's no need to be so wary."

"A strange man who threw on a white lab coat was able to sneak in on a medical examination day last year. As safe as the school may be, an incident like that is not ignorable." The teacher is taken aback by her knowledge of the minor incident. The administration had done everything in its power to keep it under wraps. No one was to speak of it so that it may blow over. "If I'm not mistaken, the Ootori family is also the one to provide the medical staff for these exams. I am certain it is a sole isolated incident, but one incident can be one too many."

"Th-that is true, however that doesn't give justification for your choice in clothing." He cleared his throat as he turned to Rin for some assistance in this matter. She was poised to answer, opening her mouth to speak up when a voice answered from behind her.

"You are mistaken; her choice of uniform is not breaking any rules." The two girls turn to see the Host Club standing there. "The handbook states that a uniform of the school must be worn by the students at all times while attending school. The length of the blazer matches appropriately to her body and the shorts she is wearing are black as stated along with the appropriate length of stocking and shoe color." Kyoya resumed.

"This is all true our dear teacher! Also, you must understand she is walking in to our beautiful world from another! In commoner schools, wearing blazers is common for the girls! Some even wear a sailor style of dress! We mustn't change her for who she is, but embrace her and teacher of the gloriously refined ways of ours!" Tamaki insisted, waving his arms in to the air as he punctuated his speech with the nonverbal of his grandiose gestures. Rin merely watched in wide eyed awe as the two came to the rescue in opposite ways.

"On a fashion standpoint, it certainly is top quality fabric and fit perfectly to her body." Kaoru spoke up.

"It's Avant Garde to our school uniform system and certainly something to look in to for possibly replication even if not in the school itself." Hikaru added as the circled Zaina to get a better look at her clothing.

"Over all, it's not a fashion travesty." They say in indifferent unison, this argument feebler than Tamaki's, Zaina unsure whether to be offended or appreciative of the help.

"It's cute!" A small sweet voice piped in from above, both girls looking up to see Mitsukini chiming in from atop of his cousin's shoulders once more. "It's small like a personal cake! It fits her too, and the color of a blueberry! Like a mini-blueberry cheesecake! Though, I prefer strawberry cheesecake…blueberry can be good too! Especially when it's sweet…maybe we should all have cheesecake! That would be good…but I'd prefer strawberry. Takashi let's get some cake today!" He looked down to Takashi who gave a small grunt of an answer.

I-is he comparing me to cake or is he just hungry!? Zaina stared up at him, Rin gaping alongside her. Both girls had no idea what to do at this point. Where this group had even come from was a mystery all on its own since there was no sign of anyone nearby.

Who are these guys?! Rin wondered, amused and very much intrigued by them all. They were all such different personalities and no one in her old school could even partially match them. They are the big difference in this school. My last school didn't have people like them. She turned to the teacher who seemed to be far more exhausted than before with Zaina in the same corner. Haruhi placed a comforting hand on Zaina's shoulder, nodding in solemn understanding of what she may be going through now.

"They're always like this, but they mean well." She assured. "At least, that's what I hope is the case." She laughed as the teacher finally gave up on the topic. Tamaki happily thanked the teacher before coming up to Zaina and Rin.

"Thank you for all your help," Rin smiled at the group.

"Oh, not at all! I'm so glad we could come in time for your rescue princesses. It would have been a great burden on my soul had not been able to help." He grabbed ahold of Zaina's hand. "You, my wildflower must understand that not everyone is of your world and not everyone is as openminded as I am. Your commoner ways are an oddity and such enlightenment, it is a shame not everyone shares my sentiments." As his speech continued, Rin stifled a laugh at the expression on Zaina's face. The only thing Zaina could think of was what would best describe him now and only one word seemed to fit best.

"Obnoxious," she felt her eye twitch a little as Tamaki froze and stared at her while the twins roared with laughter in the background.

"Look Takashi, he's doing it again!" Mitsukini hopped down and poked at the frozen blonde while Kyoya sighed and adjusted his glasses once more.

"I said the same thing when I first met him, don't worry he definitely always means well." Haruhi snickered as Tamaki suddenly fled to the wall and curled on to the floor hugging his knees.

"He does it too?!" She sighed shaking her head at this fact.

"What do you mean 'he does it too'?" Kyoya raised a brow at this information.

"Zaina, don't be so mean!" Rin pouted in response, her cheeks puffed in childish anger. The twins stopped their laughter at this change of pace, their curiosity to know peeking.

"Well I'm not exactly wrong." She mumbled under her breath which only angered Rin more as she shook her friend.

"No one needs to know it though! You should be on my side of this!" She whined a little.

"Yes, yes! I get it, I get it!" She laughed off, breaking free of Rin's grasp.

"You better get it! You know for a fact that it's not as bad!"

"Or is it? Have you ever properly looked when it happens?"

Kyoya sighed as the two vaguely spoke amongst each other. The peace he was hoping for this year was once again shattered.

And here I thought the helicopter would be the only change of pace. It seems it unloaded something more than I want to handle right now. Though a small smile did threaten to curl at the corner of his lips. This was to be the new normal, but at least everyone was here. As the group bantered on he took note of the clock. "If you'll excuse me, I have to get myself and him to class."

"But, but mommy she was so mean! Just like our first daughter!" Tamaki cried as he clung to Kyoya.

"You're not my father!" Haruhi snapped at him.

"Yes, yes, I know. Kids will be kids, now we must get to class. It was a pleasure to meet you Ms. Rin Chibana." Kyoya smiled and dragged Tamaki away.

"We should probably get to class to." Haruhi sighed, looking to the twins who stuck their tongues out in distaste but give a small sure.

"I guess we have to too." Mitsukini frowned. "Oh, before we go! Which classroom are the two of you in?" He turned to look up at Rin and Zaina.
