Chapter 4: first day impressions.
A.N. I'm sorry for the change in the title, it's just that I wanted to extend the story a bit and also that title wouldn't work in this chapter. So my apologies. (u.u) enjoy either way!!
Kyoya was waking from what seemed to be a long sleep. He normally doesn't pay attention at what he dreams at night but he had a feeling that dreaming about Alicia and her kisses wasn't a good sign. He got up and dressed in his Ouran uniform. He then went downstairs and got breakfast. His sister was sitting on the table, it seemed that even when she was married and lived in another house, she still keeps coming back.
- Hello, brother. My, we got up on the wrong side of the bed.
She was referring to the fact that he looked more serious than ever. He had a grim look on his face and seemed to have no idea about it.
- What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be taking care of your husband instead of being here? Your husband will not like it.
- Relax. He went to a symposium in Rome. He will be there for a week, and since I am all alone in the mansion I asked him to come and see my family. But the problem seems to be on you. What happened?
- God, what do you care? - Kyoya snarled at his sister. He seemed angry but angry at himself.
- Ok, I won't ask. But you are going to have to tell me sooner or later. - she started eating her eggs and ham. She had learned a lot of commoner cooking in her mansion. Thing was, she was only able to cook eggs and ham without burning them. Kyoya wasn't in an eating mood, so he only ate an apple.
He went to school a bit earlier. Once he got to Ouran he had nothing else to do except prepare some things for the host club. He went to music room 3 and there he saw Tamaki sitting in one of the sofa chairs.
- Kyoya, Mon ami, I wasn't expecting you so early. What, may I ask, is the reason for this change in you're routine.
- Tamaki, can't a guy wake up early and not be questioned about it?
- My, my, it seems that your reunion with a certain Ms. Alicia Silvermoon last night made you a little grumpy.
- How did you know about that?
- Kyoya, you weren't exactly the most discreet person in all the party. It was obvious that you were with her. For heaven sakes man, you couldn't get your eyes off of her. When the party was over I saw how you took her away. And tell me Kyoya, what is it like to be in love with the enemy of your family?
- She is my enemy but I didn't do anything. We were just discussing some terminal maters.
- Terminal maters? Like what?
- Well for one, to stay away from me or from anything related to me.
- Kyoya you didn't look like you were doing that. Especially when that kiss happened. Tell me, Kyoya, do you like her or are you planning something?
- You saw the kiss?
- Don't change the subject. Tell me your intensions with that girl. And now that we are in that subject why don't you tell me about the feud.
- I guess I don't have a choice do I. Well, it all started……..
---
Alicia was excited for her new day in school. She even got up earlier to get everything she needed. Artemis was asleep as always but once he heard Alicia grunting about not finding something.
- Hey what's all the ruckus? Some people are trying to sleep here.
- Shut up and be useful. I can't find my charm bracelet. You know, the one that aunt Athena gave me on my birthday.
- What do you need it for? You are going to be studying, not in a fashion runway. Nobody will notice your bracelet.
- You don't get it. That bracelet is magical. Anyone who uses it will be able to see what the other person has in their soul.
- And you need it to see your darling Kyoya´s soul. I know what you are going to see, pitch black. That guy has no soul, just like the rest of his family.
- Aren't you being a little cruel to the guy? I mean just because he belongs to a family doesn't mean that he will be like them. I mean look at me. I'm not like my grandfather, am I?
- Well believe it or not, I have a feeling that this guy is up to something. Especially for the way he was always with you in that party.
- Artemis! Stop eavesdropping on me with my crystal ball!! And so you won't be able to touch it I hid it somewhere where you wouldn't be able to find it. And no, you won't be able to find it.
Alicia turned around to find her bracelet in the hanging in the mirror. She checked herself in the mirror. That Ouran uniform wasn't half bad. Well it was kind of uptight but it was pretty never the less. She had her hair in a bun and she had light makeup on. She was ready for anything that Ouran could throw her. She then turned around to grab her back pack, but artemis wasn't there. "Oh well, I won't get to say goodbye to him"
She left to her limousine and went on her way to her new school. Once she got there, she went on searching for any of the people she had met in the party. Some students looked at her with fascination. Others were envious, but she didn't care what they thought of her. It was always the same everywhere she went.
She saw Haruhi talking to the Hitachiin twins and she decided to go talk to them, considering that they were the only ones she knew most.
- Good Morning, Haruhi.
- Oh, hi Alicia. How are you? - said Haruhi. The twins looked at Alicia kind of confused. They wondered how she knew Haruhi if they only got to speak to her in the party. But they both decided to keep quiet.
- Well for one I'm excited and on the other side I'm kind of nervous. I have a day full of activities.
- What are you going to do today? – asked the twins in a mysterious tone.
- Well first I have to go to classes; I have a lot to catch up. Then I have to go practice my music. Oh, and Tamaki invited me to music room 3 for a presentation to the hosts.
- Tamaki-sempai invited you to the host club?
- Yeah. Well I don't know how this whole host thing is but I'm bound to get it. And I also have a little surprise for them.
Haruhi and the twins looked confused. They were wondering what she could be doing for them. The bell rang and everyone was getting inside.
"This girl is getting stranger and stranger every time we meet." thought Haruhi.
- All in due time Haruhi.
"God is she really reading my mind?"
Everyone was inside. Alicia was going to be in the same class as Haruhi and the twins. As everyone sat down and started chattering about Alicia, the teacher walked in.
"I wonder if I can she will accept a date with me." thought a boy sitting in the front part of the class.
"So this is the famous Alicia Silvermoon. Her grandfather must be very rich. She really is so beautiful. I think we will get married" thought another boy. Alicia was frightened at that commentary. The rest of the girls were thinking that she was pretty and how they wished they were like her.
During the entire class, she knew every answer by heart. Whether it was math, science, language arts, or anything else, she knew it all. She even beat Haruhi. Everyone was actually very surprised. "If only they knew" thought Alicia.
The class had ended, and Alicia was surrounded by boys who asked her if they could carry her books or go on a date with her and girls were trying to make friends with her.
She went to music room1 and started to practice her piano playing. Everyone was looking dazzled as she played "Fur Elise" on the piano, one of her favorite pieces. She was only concentrating on the music. She had to escape somehow. She then saw him. Standing in the door with his imposing presence. Looking at her deeply with his black eyes. She tried to keep playing, she wasn't going to get distracted so easily. She got bored of the piano, so she played the violin. And so on, she changed her instrument every fifteen minutes. She proved her ability of playing all the instruments in the world. Almost all of Ouran was in the music room1 to see her play. Once she finished playing every instrument in the room, everyone started clapping. She was a music prodigy, a genius, rich, and to top it all off, she was beautiful. Kyoya had to admit that if there weren't any feud between their families, she would make the perfect wife. Alicia didn't seem happy. She was more serious than she usually was. From the corner of his eye he saw something like a cat's tail but when he looked at it again, the tail disappeared.
The hosts were all reunited in the music room 3. Their theme of today was "a walk in Paris". So everyone was dressed up in French designer clothes. All the girls were around their favorite host. The one who knew the most about this subject was Tamaki. His prince-o-meter was on its highest. Alicia didn't know where to go.
- Hey Ms. Silvermoon- said the Hitachiin twins. They were dressed in matching blue pant and stripped shirts, with their burette covering their hair. The rest of the hosts were dressed in that way.
- Oh, hello Hikaru and Kaoru.
- Ms. Silvermoon, would you like to play a game? - Hikaru said in a playful voice.
- Well, ok. I don't have anything else to do.
- Lets play the "which one of us is Hikaru game"!! – The twins said in unison. Alicia looked at the twins very carefully.
- This one is Hikaru- she pointed to the right twin- and this one Kaoru- she pointed to the left twin.
- Uhoh, you got it wrong! -they both said in unison.
- No, I'm correct. Hikaru has a playful tone in his voice, while Kaoru has a more mature tone. You two may look alike, but you are totally different in your mind.
She actually figured it out thanks to her bracelet. Her mind reading power didn't work because their minds were thinking the same thing, her failure in the game. The bracelet let her see their Souls, and they had different souls. From now on it was easier to do so.
- Alicia, dear, you made it- Tamaki said from his couch.
- Well I couldn't miss it. Especially if you invited me. - Alicia was approaching the sofa he was sitting at. There were a load of girls surrounding him. Every girl seemed to be dazzled at him. Once Sabrina sat next to Tamaki, all the girls were looking at her in a mean way.
"Oh great, now miss perfect is here. Tamaki is going to prefer her" thought the girls.
- Now, now, ladies, no person like Ms. Silvermoon could overcome your beauty, my dear princesses- said Tamaki in his princely voice.
- Oh Tamaki, we aren't mad at you.
- But you shouldn't be mad at Ms. Silvermoon either. She is only a close friend. I have to attend her as I do you as well. Besides, no one can overcome the beauty of your enchanting grace.
"God, someone stop this prince act before I die of boredom" thought Alicia. She knew Tamaki was that way, but it wasn't her type of man. She preferred a man who she could discuss different things, not only her beauty or anything referring her.
- Tamaki, I have to talk to you in private, or better yet I have to talk to all the hosts.
Tamaki looked at her in a surprised way.
- We shall do as you wish, Alicia. Right now relax and enjoy all of the things the hosts are offering you.
- That's easy for you to say- she muttered.
She looked around and saw all the hosts were entertaining other ladies as well. The twins were playing their usual games; Hunny was eating croissants while Mori was just sitting next to Hunny, serious as always. Haruhi was talking to her guests, always so shy. But Kyoya seemed to be the only one not attending girls. Just writing in his little black notebook.
- Tamaki, why is Kyoya so alone?- asked Alicia.
- Does it matter to you if he is or not alone? - Tamaki asked while he was looking at another girl and grabbing her by the chin. He seemed to be mysterious.
- No, I don't care- said Alicia- its just I thought that a young man like him would be surrounded by a dozen girls. And you know, curiosity killed the cat.
"That is NOT true!!" a voice said.
- Did you say something? - Alicia asked Tamaki.
- No, I didn't.
"Then who did?" She started to wonder, until she had an idea of who it was. –Excuse me for a moment.
She walked outside and took her backpack. Once she looked to see if she was alone, she opened the bag. There she saw who had spoken.
- What the heck are you doing here Artemis? You are going to get me in trouble if someone sees you here.
- Well I had to see your first day of school. Especially when you're in the wolf's pit.
- I don't need your help. I'm fine on my own. And besides I haven't talked to him, at least not yet.
- But you want to- said Artemis in an insinuating way.
- No I don't. I don't want to see Kyoya Ootori. Not here, not there, not anywhere. Not in a ship, not in a car, not near, not far. And now I'm rhyming. See what you make me do?
- Calm down Dr. Seuss. What are you going to do now?
- I have a plan but its going to take a lot of risk and nerves of steel.
- Ok I'm with you all the way.
- Thanks, Artemis. Now I have to find him.
- Find who? - asked a voice behind her. She slowly turned around and saw Kyoya behind her. He was looking at her. – Who were you talking to?
- Uh, no one. I tend to talk by myself, you know, to help get ideas or to keep my memory on track.
- Yeah right. I clearly heard you speeking to someone else. A man named Artemis.
- I have no idea of what you are talking about- she said in a nervous voice.
- But you just said "Thank you Artemis, now I have to find him". Or are you going to tell me that you didn't say it.
- Well I was… talking to… my plush cat Artemis. I've had him ever since I was a child. And he kind of helps me when I don't know what to do.
- And what do you need to do? Or better yet, who do you need to find? -Kyoya was getting close to her.
- Uh, I need to find, uh…
- Who? - Kyoya was still walking up to her. -Me?
Alicia felt like she had no air. He was a handsome man. He had a sneaky smile, which made him seem mysterious and sly. His physical features weren't any exception to his handsomeness (A.N. I don't know if that's a word, I just put it there)
- Tamaki- was the only name Alicia could make out of her cloudy mind. She couldn't talk nor stand right. She even dropped her backpack.
- Which reminds me, I left Tamaki alone. I have to go back.
- Tamaki is busy with the guests. He will be like that for a while. And so are the rest of the hosts. So that means that you and I are alone.
- Kyoya, If I get any more near you, I don't know what I will be able to do.
- Then let's find out- he got more and more closer. He almost kissed her again if only something wouldn't have bit him on the leg.
Alicia saw the opportunity, got her backpack, and ran to the music room. Before she could get the door, Kyoya got her arm and forced her to turn around.
- Get this straight, Alicia. I won't stop until you're mine. I don't care if I seem crazy but if have to stalk you or kidnap you, then yes, I am crazy.
- Then you and I are going to have a problem. I can't be with you Kyoya. You are too dangerous for me.
- But you want to be with me. Deep down you do. But something is telling you not to. What is it?
- I don't know, a conscience? Religion? Or simply I just don't want to. Take your pick.
- Well I don't care what it is, you better stop listening to it- Kyoya grabbed her arm a bit tighter.
- Oww, let go of me bozo!! You are hurting me!!
Kyoya let go. He was sure he had heard that phrase somewhere else. He remembered that boy Edward. He had called him the same way. He wondered if he was Alicia's cousin. She had said she was an only child, so he must be a cousin or something else.
Alicia went inside the music room. And left Kyoya in his thoughts.
- That was close- she whispered to Artemis in her backpack.
- Yeah, well you owe me for saving your butt. Next time we eat fish dumplings, I get a double scoop, got it?
- Yeah, yeah, whatever. I got to go so don't make more noises.
Ailcia quickly closed her backpack and went rushing to sit next to Tamaki. All the girls had gone and the hosts were all alone.
- Oh Alicia, I was wondering where you were. You missed a great conversation. But enough about that, we want to know what your big surprise is. I must tell you, I love Surprises!!
- Oh yeah he does- said Haruhi in her annoyed face- just be careful with his bear hugs.
- What is that supposed to say, Haruhi? - Tamaki said in sentimental tone- I thought you loved Daddy's hugs.
- Yeah, well, I don't. And how many times do I have to tell you I'm not your daughter.
- Ok, well I need all the hosts to be here- interrupted Alicia.
- Where is Kyo-chan? - asked Hunny
- Yeah- said Mori.
- I'm over here- Kyoya was walking in.
- Now tell us Alicia. What is your surprise? - Tamaki asked totally excited.
- I need to know all of you. So the only way to do so is by testing you.
- Testing us? How? - asked Haruhi.
- Simple, I will be a guest all week. I will be with each one, one day at a time. So that way I will get to know all of you.
- This is strange- said Kaoru- If you want to be with us just say so and we will hang out with you.
- No, this isn't a personal term. You see, I need to test your abilities and how we get along. It's not the same. Next week we shall start. On Monday, I will test Hunny-sempai and Mori sempai. On Tuesday, I will test the twins. On Wednesday, Haruhi. On Thursday, Tamaki. And finally on Friday, I will test Kyoya. And I assure you this won't be easy.
What will those tests be like? Should the host club be afraid? Is Alicia going to fall in love with Kyoya? Will Artemis stop eavesdropping on Alicia's life? Will I ever get a boyfriend? Will México win the FIFA world cup? I don't know about the last two, but these questions will be resolved in the next chapter, Chapter 5: The test of the hosts.
We'll se you then!!
- Hey don't you think you make too many questions? - asks Haruhi- I mean you could ask a little bit less.
- Hmm, Naa!! I like making those suspense questions. They kind of remind me of batman.(Usangie sings batman intro)
- Ok but that is still weird.
- She is right. It is weird. But what isn't weird in this story- says Alicia.
- Plus, who doesn't love the batman ending. Well I for one love it.
- God, and to think that our future is in the hands of this Otaku- says Alicia.
- These damn Otaku fanfic writers. TT
