The boys who came in the door were just as stunning in looks as the other boys here, if not more so. The first I saw was a boy who appeared to be in elementary school, but wore a high school uniform. He had pretty blonde hair messed up boyishly, and big, beautiful brown eyes. Though the only picture I'd seen him in (other than the blurry pictures of him practicing in their own private dojo) was one taken of the family over a year ago, there was no mistaking this boy. He was Mitskuni Haninozuka, a martial arts master. However, you'd never know by the adorable babyish smile on his face, and the pink stuffed rabbit he held that he was actually the single most deadly being on the planet.

The boy next to him must be Morinozuka. Takashi if I remember correctly. He was the other business associate my dad wanted me to get along with. Apparently his family's name isn't as big as Mitskuni's, but the families are very close, and so we should keep the future in mind.

Upon analysis, he was extremely handsome. Perhaps even more so than the other boys. He had a mop of black hair styled messily, misty gray eyes, and a tall, thin frame- he was also obviously very athletic. On another hand though, he was expressionless. Stoic really, no passion or spark on his face. But if you looked closely in his eyes, there was a whole new world in there to be discovered. He may not show it, I thought to myself, but he's very intellectual.

He looked down at me while I analyzed him bit by bit, and then peered back up at Haninozuka. I realized I must be staring, so I improvised.

I snapped my fingers and let out a relieved- "Takashi!" and palmed my forehead. Hopefully if I pretend I was just trying to remember his name, I'll look less creepy. I looked back at him and apologized, "I'm really sorry! I know your surname because of the family business, but I couldn't remember your first name for the life of me!" As I said it, something small, light, and energetic hit me in the back.

"Beeekah-chan! Hey I know all about you because your dad came and visited us once! He watched us practice in the dojo and stayed for dinner and played chess with me and Takashi! He beat me but nobody has ever beat Takashi before! Isn't that right Takashi?" Mitskuni was absolutely glowing with pride that he knew who I was. "Oh and your dad is bald. Is that on purpose or did it fall out?"

I laughed, I couldn't help it! He was just... so cute! I swung him over my shoulder, off my back and set him down in front of me so I could see him face to face. "Well, I know he came to visit you, he showed me the pictures. Your dojo looked really cool, and the scenery…! I wish I could've been there with my camera! As for chess, yeah... He's gotten a lot of practice by beating me, so I'd imagine he's pretty good at it by now." I glanced at Takashi, I could imagine him being good at chess. It's a game of intelligence, and those eyes looked very wise...

"What about being bald?" His eyes were open and innocent, adorable even.

"Well yeah, he's bald. He started to go bald when he was younger, but now he just shaves it all off. It's a pretty good look for him, compared to how he looks with hair..."

A deep voice caught my attention. Though he didn't say much, Morinozuka had a tone of voice that makes you stop dead and wonder. I started to pay attention... "What's this meeting about?" I had a feeling he didn't say much, and that this was all I'd hear from him today.

The rest of the 'meeting' composed of Tamaki bringing up ideas for cosplay, what they would serve their guests, and what sorts of things they could do to raise money- with the sporadic interjection from Kyouya. After a while, it just ended up where we 7 were just hanging out. I hung around for most of it, until I realized it was so late, almost 5:30, and decided to head home.

"Look, uh, you guys, this was really pretty fun- but I've got to run. Thanks for tolerating me, really. It was great."

The twins were the first to complain, "Aw come on, do you really have to go?"

Then Honey-senpai (I had adopted his pet name from Tamaki) with a, "But Bekah-chan you can't go now! It won't be as fun!"

Next to butt in was Tamaki, "Oh come now you can't leave so soon! It's only... Oh, I see. We've been here quite a while longer than I expected... Very well, I guess if you must leave us then that's that. Oh well!"

Though it made me a little bit sad, I knew I had to get home.

I smiled and waved as I reached the door, "I'll see you guys next week! Well, sorry Hikaru and Kaoru, not you guys, but I'll see you soon enough!"

As I walked down the hall, thinking of how I'd just spent four and a half hours with 6 boys that previously I hadn't even known, I realized something. I had just made 6 friends. Sure they were all guys, but I had expected I'd make more guy friends than girls anyway. I wondered what my dad would think about my being around 6 teenage boys for the last 4 and a half hours... He probably wouldn't be too happy... But whatever. That wasn't my problem. The real problem here was that I couldn't get him out of my head... Takashi Morinozuka... I giggled to myself. I was being stupid. I'd get over it by morning...

Right...?
