(Disclaimer: I do not own anything on Ouran. All I own is the plot of this story.)
Thanks to everyone who left a review to the last chapter. I love you all so much!
And to everyone who's now wondering about the necklace that was left in the fire and now back on her neck, there's a reason it's 'doubled'. :P
Okay, the stories going to get a little confusing in this chapter. Hope you're up for it.

Devils, the Shadow King and a Necklace

IV
--------------
Haruhi sat down at a desk with the twins on each side. A teacher was at the front of the class and was explaining a school project which Haruhi intended to finish during the Host Club meeting while Tamaki was doing his usual nothing-ness. After the lesson, the twins pulled Haruhi (who was dressed up as a male for some strange reason) towards the third music room. Waiting inside were Tamaki, the King of the Host Club, Kyouya, the character that put the breeze in Cool, Mori, the character who was born Wild at Heart, and Hunny, who was just the most cutest little thing you ever did see.
"Haruhi," Tamaki yelled, running towards her. "Today's a special day!"
"Not now Tamaki-senpai," Haruhi glowered. "I have an assignment to do."
"We have 5 weeks to finish it off," the twins said.
"Better now then late or never," Haruhi said, pulling away from the blond male—

"I don't understand this one bit, Kyouya," Haruhi said, pushing away the dark crystal. "It can't be true. It can't!"
"It is," the twins smiled together.
"But it can't," Haruhi said. "I mean, there is no way that I would have changed my gender. It's absurd!"
Kyouya smirked. "You said you would like to continue," he said, looking back down into the crystal, "Or do you wish to stop? I told you that it was too much for you to handle at such an early point in your death."
He said that last word with such coldness and carelessness that Haruhi wanted to hit him. Instead, she kept her cool. "I never said it was too much," she said. "I mean, I've seen worse – much worse – but this is just… It's just too crazy," she said, finally finding a word to fit what she felt. "There is no way – even in Hell – that I, attorney at law, would change my gender just so that I could get higher grades. I mean, sure, my hair was shorter in high school, but I didn't make that a reason to make myself into a guy. I mean, really, please, this can't be what would have happened had Ouran Academy never caught fire and burnt down." (Do you get it now? –smirk–)
He shook his head, pulling the crystal out of the air and onto his lap. "If you don't wish to continue—"
"I do, but give me something more realistic here, Kyouya. That's just impossible!"
Kyouya looked down to his dark shoes. "Nothing is impossible," he said. "Actually, everything you see in this crystal is true. Nothing told is a lie, and if it was, the crystal will shatter into pieces in your hands. Besides, I've witnessed these things myself."
Haruhi stopped ranting and stared at Kyouya. "You've witnessed it? How…?"
He smirked again, keeping his answer at bay.
The twins ran towards her before she could strike Kyouya and held her back. "We've been there, too," the twins said, still pulling her back.
She stopped frantically kicking around and turned to the twins. "How could you have been there when we never even met?" she snapped.
Kyouya only shook his head. "Please take your seat," Kyouya smiled, his eyes closed.
"Tell me," she said with fiery eyes.
He shook his head again. The twins had moved back, but Kyouya wasn't afraid. "Do you want to continue watching, or should I put it away?" he asked.
Haruhi didn't answer for a moment, but then slumped into her seat, sighing. "Fine, fine, don't tell me. I'll find out, anyway."
Before they were able to continue the story, Haruhi had looked down at her arms – now bare from when she changed her clothes – and sighed again. She still had deep burn marks on her arms, and they looked hideous. How she would ever be able to go to Earth casually was a wonder, but she'd have to think about that later. Kyouya had continued the story already, and Haruhi was curious to what her life would have been like had Ouran Academy never burnt down.

I'm eating honey on toast… I hate honey… But this is good… Huh, well, would ya look at that?! XD lol

"Do you ever get tired?" Kyouya said to his Queen 3 hours later.
"Shh!" she snapped. "This is intriguing!"
"Of course it is when you're not arguing about how impossible it is," he grumbled, slumping back in his seat. He wondered how long it would take her to finally go to bed. She had a long day ahead of her and he didn't want her to fall asleep on her feet, even if she could do it.
Haruhi rubbed her eyes and Kyouya snatched the dark crystal away from her. "That's enough," he said. "Go to bed. You look dead-tired."
"No, I have to see it!"
"I said," Kyouya roared, looming out of his seat like a shadow and staring down to Haruhi with vicious red eyes, "Go. To. BED!"
Haruhi stood and looked up at the now burning eyes. He had grown taller too, and (seeing as Hell had no ceiling) he just kept on growing within every second until Haruhi had to give up. She admitted to herself, she didn't want to be far away from his luring eyes, and she definitely didn't want them to change to such a length so that she wouldn't be able to see them again. "Oh, fine," she sighed and pushed past his large form. "I'll go to bloody bed."
Kyouya watched her walk away as he got smaller and blinked at how easily she was taken. Was that all it took? And all this time he thought it would take even more then the most dreadful puppy eyes to get her to do as he said.
He waited for her to go to her – their – chamber and slumped back into his seat again. He thought to himself.
---------------
Kyouya is thinking to you here.
Kyouya, the one in the crystal, has died already, along with everyone, but he isn't in my kingdom. Have you ever heard the expression 'time repeats itself'? Well, it's true, although, it changes in many ways. It's quite hard to explain so early in the story. Although, I will explain, so it's possible for you to understand this towards the end.
Life can change to different levels, but the same people will remain. What happens is that God is willing to give some people a second chance in life, but some mess it up. The fire incident: that was no accident. It was done for one person, so that he never got a chance again.
I hated the story in the crystal and I hated watching what my life would have been like had Haruhi come into it. It was depressing – very depressing. I hated the way the crystal spoke (or showed) of how happy I was to be.
I've taken a peak at heaven. It is not what you think of it to be. Everyone you love will be there, but you would never see a person you despise… never. If you are despised by even a child, then you come to my kingdom. Unless…
Yes, there is an 'unless'… unless you are forgiven by someone of pure heart. At such a young age, Haruhi was the most pure of hearts there ever was, and if only… if only I hadn't been so reckless… I would have… I would have…
It's hard for me to speak of the incident, because it hurt. It still does. It burns me inside, even if the fire had left my body so long ago. But this fire that burns me now isn't the fire that killed me. No, it's my soul that burns me to ashes, slowly, slowly, slowly killing me in my death. Once I've died after my death, there's nothing. I've disappeared from reality and the imagination. Nobody will remember me. Not even my face will pop into their heads. Photographs will burn once I have, and not a trace – not even a fingerprint for the thing I've touched will burn – will give anyone a single memory.
But, that has nothing to do with this. It just seemed to correspond with what I was saying.
So, have you ever heard the expression 'life repeats itself'? Well, it's true, although it changed in many ways. This world and the other are different. You are different, although your body and your personalities stay the same. Your heart will change. Your destiny will change. The only things that stay the same (other than body and personality) is your soul. If you were born with a dark soul, you remain like that until forgiven by a pure soul.
In my life, I had a dark soul. If only the fire hadn't started. If only I hadn't locked the door. If only…
If only, if only. These seem to be mostly the only words that everybody uses. They're words that everyone uses when they make a mistake, but no one can go back into the past and change anything. Once it's done, there's nothing that can put it back to how it was. That's it, it's finished.
Time will repeat itself, sometimes for better or worse. But it will. Nothing can stop it. Once it starts, nothing can change it – unless, of course, you're Heaven and Hells gift… like myself…

Hope you enjoyed that chapter. Sorry it was so short (if you think that's short) and for getting it up so late. I got excited when 'Justice League' came on on Cartoon Network. :P Ye, I just went to see if anything interesting was on and that was on, so I thought, 'hey, I haven't seen Justice League in AGES! I've missed it. I should see what I've missed.' Ye, I used to love Justice League…
Um, forget I wrote any of that… I really only went to watch Disney… AND MTV! Don't eat me… or laugh…
Yeah, I'm an idiot :P lol
Okay, next chapter will be up soon. Reviews are the only things that keep me writing this, so review if you want me to finish the next chapter.
xoxo
