I just wanted to thank the person that reviewed the story It really means a lot to me! I've been feeling a bit iffy about the direction of it and all, but I'm so glad you like it so far. I hope you enjoy the new chapter everyone :)
Miyuki stared at the closed door for what seemed like an eternity. Her brother was standing in the background, waiting for her to knock, open the door, or do something at the very least. Yet she remained in her spot for the next ten minutes just blinking at the one thing that was barricading her from her future classmates. "You're going to have to go in sometime, Miyuki" he said, but the raven-haired girl simply ignored him. He let out a soft sigh and took her bag away from her before knocking on the door, silencing the classroom on the other side.
It was already mid-day by now, seeing as the superintendent liked to talk much more than expected. "Come in" a voice called out from the inside. Kaname rolled his eyes at his sister and pushed open the door, stepping in before her. All the girls in the class leaned forward, despite his rudeness earlier; they were still attracted to him. Clearly they got over things quickly.
"Excuse me sensei" Kaname bowed respectfully. "My sister…" he cleared his throat and looked back at Miyuki who was still standing outside. Kaname held up a finger, giving a polite smile that made all the girls swoon before going back to his sister. "It'll be fine" he reassured her as he grabbed the edge of her sleeve and pulled her in the class behind him. She trailed obediently, her large coral eyes glued onto his back, avoiding the other people in the room the best she could. She was nervous, yes, but she'd be damned before she showed that weakness to complete strangers. She had a nonchalant and almost dangerous air about her, capable of freezing over anyone had she bothered glancing at them.
"This is Miyuki Nakahara, dozou yoroshiku onegaishimasu" He bowed towards the class. He checked his side only to find that Miyuki was no longer there, but heading towards the back of the class quietly. "Gomen" Kaname apologized to the teacher whom just watched Miyuki curiously. The older Nakahara followed her and placed her bag beside her. "I'll be back to pick you up, okay?" he asked her quietly. Miyuki glanced up at her brother and nodded her head before staring out the window.
"Kawaii!" she heard the girls' cry out, muttering things about how endearingly brotherly he was. Miyuki sighed out as she heard her brother walk away, leaving her all on her own in a room full of probing eyes. She could feel people glancing at her every now on then, some even dare to stare. However, Miyuki paid them no mind as her lazy rosé eyes looked out of the window, counting the second with each silent ticking of the grand clock tower.
Miyuki remained in the same spot and same position for the next two classes; the vigorousness in the girl was remarkable. She was capable in fading into the walls almost ten minutes through the first class. People forgot that she was in the room to begin with. She blinked her eyes at the sudden sound of a mass of footsteps and unusual noise. Glancing from the corner of her eyes, she noticed that the students were piling out of the class. She looked back at the clock tower and realized it was the end of the school day. She let out a sigh of relief; she had survived, and she wasn't bothered by anyone, so undoubtedly it was a successful day.
Once the room fell to an eerie silence, she finally stood up and grabbed her briefcase and headed to the door. She stood outside in the chillingly quiet halls, waiting for her brother to come and pick her up. Unfortunately for Miyuki, that wasn't going to happen any time soon. As she guarded the door, her brother was having a not so successful day on his end.
Kaname glared at the blonde before him. If looks could kill, Tamaki Suoh would be in some ditch right about now. He had been dragged against his will to a 'Music Room' by some self-proclaimed 'Prince' and the young man had not ceased talking about some bloody Host Club. Kaname was bothered at first, but once he glanced at the time, he was infuriated with him. He tore himself from the friendly hold the blonde had on him, and was now standing fuming at the ears before seven boys.
"Urusai!" he hissed at the blonde as he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself. It wasn't like him to loose his cool so quickly, but the Tamaki character got under his skin quicker than most. The whole group gave him an uneasy feeling, especially that Kyoya fellow. He had not spoken a word and yet he could feel his eyes peeling away at his skin. "Excuse me" Kanami said in an exasperated sigh "I have someone waiting for me." He told them, as he turned on his heel, ready to stalk out of the room.
"Would that be your sister?" Kyoya inquired, knowing the answer already. Kaname's shoulders stiffened, not liking the tone of the boy. He was about to answer crudely but a voice cut him off "Miyuki-chan?" asked the feminine boy, as if she had just made the connection between the two. "Oh?" The twins chorused as they noticed the bothered state of the dark headed boy at the door. A mischievous smirk pulled at their lips. "Isn't she the girl in the back?" Kaoru asked his brother with a sly tone "Yes, it's been thirty minutes since class let out, the poor thing…" started Hikari "left on her own in a dark classroom, who knows what could happen there" the two mused, trying their best to taunt the new student. As they turned to see his reaction, they were met by a fleeting figure, for Kaname was already gone.
As Kaname rushed off to his sister's classroom, Haruhi was scolding the brothers over their little act. Tamaki was being unusually quiet, as he had seen the potential new member take off in haste. Something just didn't flow right, no one should've been that worried about a sibling. Perhaps he was just over-protective? But that didn't seem like a sufficient answer to the prince of the club. Before anyone could react, Tamaki followed the boy out, running down halls in hopes of catching him just in time. The rest of the club stood there at a loss for words. "Tama-chan…" The shorter boy of the bunch spoke, knocking some sense into the people in the room as they all took off behind their friend.
Kaname threw the door open "I'm sorry, I'm late! I know, I know!" he breathed out, with both hands on his knees, trying his best to catch his breath. Once he finally composed himself, he looked up to find that there wasn't a soul in the classroom. He took a few steps back; just to make sure this was the right room. Once he was met with '1A' his breath hitched in his throat as he his eyes widened in horror. His head darted from one side to the next, panic instantly rising within him. This wasn't good. This wasn't good at all. He insulted himself over and over in his head as he turned the corner, only to bump into a familiar figure, one that he wasn't so pleased to see.
A gasp escaped Tamaki's lips as he was violently pushed up against a wall. He was being held by the collar with spiteful violet eyes glaring at him. "It's all your fault" the boy spat venomously, but pain had its way in coating each word that rolled off his tongue.
"Senpai!" An alerted Haruhi cried as she and the rest of the boys rushed over to the two. Tamaki held up a hand, reassuring them that everything was alright despite the fact that the boy in front of him was about to murder him. The Suoh heir always had a gift of noticing things which people usually didn't, and just like he saw it in every member of the Host Club, he saw it in Kaname Nakahara.
"Hm" a murmur cut through the intense air. All heads shot towards the farther end of the corridor where Kyoya stood insouciantly. He held up a small black briefcase and showed it to Kaname. "Would this belong to her?"
Kaname dropped the blonde and rushed over to Kyoya, tearing the briefcase from his hands. It was in fact Miyuki's, with that piece of knowledge he was off again, down the halls, calling out for his sister, desperate for a reply.
The sight before him made him freeze in his spot, as it did to every boy behind the tall, dark and breathless man. At the end of one of the halls was a girl on the floor. Her skirt hiked too high, revealing her knickers innocently as she was reaching out for something beneath a white divan.
The older brother's face flushed red as he turned around and glared at the boys that were still stunned by the sight. All of them instantly turned after receiving the ice-cold stare. "Miyuki" Kaname spoke aloud, trying to grab his sister's attention. She sat up slowly and glanced behind her "hmm?" she mused, her pink eyes staring at her embarrassed brother. "You're alright" he sighed out relieved as he ran a hand through his hair and walking towards her.
The club took that as a permission to turn around and the sight of the girl had them almost topple over by the cuteness. There sat the mysterious girl, her short hair disheveled and her sweater hanging off her shoulders due to being too large. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes glimmering with child-like innocence. Tamaki's eyes glistened "Cute!" he cried out, ready to tackle the girl, but with a grip on his shirt, thanks to Kyoya, the boy was stuck in his spot. Whining to get out of his grip so he could have the cute creature before him.
"You're late" came the small, monotonous voice from the girl. Her reply only caused all the members to freeze. How could someone that cute be that scary was beyond them. Kaname felt a pang in his heart as he got down beside her and pulled her into his chest. He couldn't even apologize because he felt so awful at the moment, if only that idiot didn't drag him off, he would've been there on time.
Miyuki let him hold her for as long as he needed. She didn't need the comfort, but she knew very well that he did, so she let him have it. "Meow" he ears perked as she pushed her brother off of her roughly and went back to her former position, causing all of them to look away blushingly. Perhaps a new uniform was in order. Kaname thought to himself.
Miyuki pulled out a rather large white cat; it had brown blemishes across its fur, and she needed to use both her arms just to pick it up. She stood up shakily, hugging the cat to keep it in its place. A yelp of horror escaped all their mouths as the jumped back. The cat was monstrously huge, but even though it was a shocking sight at first, they couldn't deny the fact that the girl looked unbelievably precious like that.
"Ne Takashi, Miyu-chan's really cute, right?" Honey cooed as he leaned against the taller male's head. Mori looked up at him and gave him a silent nod, while as the others had to put their two cents in as well, which only cause Kaname to glare at them. Miyuki was completely oblivious about the group before her, for she was too concentrated on keeping the cat up, which was rather troublesome with her petite frame.
"Let's go home!" Kaname announced, but once he turned to his sister he couldn't help but sweat drop at how miserable she looked trying to hold the beast of a cat. She had her brows furrowed in concentration, and it was obvious that if she dared to take a step forward, she'd only loose her balance and collapse to her side. "Miyuki, let the cat go" her brother sighed, rubbing his temples. It was a long day and he knew his sister was going to be stubborn about it.
Miyuki ignored him and kept her grip on the cat, not willing to budge. "Miyuki…" her brother exhaled in slight annoyance. But both the Nakahara siblings were frozen in spot when the taller boy courageously moved towards her and took the cat from her hold with ease. Miyuki stared up at him in awe, but was quickly distracted by someone grasping her hand. "Miyu-chan!" a singing voice called. She looked to her side to find a boy slightly shorter than herself. "Do you like cake!?" he asked her with an adorable tone as flowers danced above his joyful head. Miyuki's face brightened as a slight blush tainted her cheeks, but her face was still stiff as she gave him a nod. "You can come have cake with Usa-chan and me!" he gleamed and she continued to nod slowly, unsure of who Usa-chan was.
Kaname stood off to the side, shock written all over his face. Miyuki always stiffened at the touch from other people, that's why he always pushed them away before they could touch her. But seeing her behave so…so naturally…it only brought a small smile onto his face. He watched her proudly, for she too was willing to move on from the past.
"If you do join us, you're expected to bring Miyuki-chan with you" a gentle voice spoke beside him. Kaname looked at the blonde tongue-tied and then back at his sister. The happiness radiating off his sister was moving, even though it was a discreet type of happy, he could see that she was in fact beaming on the inside, and that's all he ever wanted from this new beginning. "I guess you've found yourself a new member" he smirked.
