Chapter 4-Dealing With the Crazies

Byakuya's P.O.V.
Finally, FINALLY, thank the KAMIS it was over! I didn't know how much more I could have taken. Leaning up against the wall, I closed my eyes and let out an exhausted sigh. My poor ears were still ringing from all the girly squealing while my sensitive nose was completely stuffed with the scent of arousal.

"Are you okay, Byakuya?"

I opened my eyes to find Haruhi staring worriedly at me. She was standing only a few feet in front of me with her head cocked slightly sideways in concern.

"Don't worry about him, Haruhi." Kyouya stated before I could reply, a smirk plastered on his face, "He's just a little exhausted is all. You see, Byakuya's senses are just a little more sensitive than the rest of ours."

My blood-red eyes narrowed as I sent a death glare over towards my best friend while silently mulling over if it'd be worth the trouble to break one of the main rules the Nobles and eat a human for once; more specifically, a certain smirking, raven-haired, four-eyed human to be exact.

Suddenly, I noticed that Haruhi was stilling looking at me with concern shining in those big doe eyes of hers. "Kyouya's right." I quickly assured the girl with a small but genuine smile, "I'm just a little tired after the day. That's all."

The brown-eyed commoner assessed me suspiciously for several more seconds before seemingly accepting my answer. "Alright then," she said as she gathered her bag up and headed for the door, "I guess I'll see you all tomorrow."

"Goodbye, Haruhi." I replied as did the rest of the host club. Sighing one more time, I briefly ran my long fingers through my snowy white hair before walking over and picking up my own school bag. "I'll be heading out as well," I informed my four-eyed friend whose fingers were flying over his keyboard.

"I see." The young man replied, not bothering to stop in his work, "Good bye then, Byakuya."

"Bye, Byakuya!" the others chorused as I departed.

A Little While Later…
Haruhi's P.O.V.
I arrived back at my apartment carrying a sack full of groceries slung over my shoulder. On my way back I'd realized that we had run out of several food items. So, I'd decided to make a brief stop at the convenience store on the way home. Stepping in the door, I was instantly tackled by my slightly, okay, extremely OVER-emotional father.

"HARUHI!" he squealed as he clung to me, "How was my little girl's school day today?"

I looked down at the tranny whom I considered my dad. "It was fine, Dad." I replied, "A new transfer student arrived today. He's in several of my classes and he joined the Host Club as well."

My father's eyes widened considerably. "HE?!" the red-haired man asked suspiciously.

"Yeah." I replied indifferently, ignoring the suddenly ominous aura emitting from the man now sitting cross-legged on the floor, "Apparently he's the next heir of a family that has just as much influence as the Suoh family. His name's Byakuya, Byakuya Shirotsuki. But he's not like the other rich students. I mean, I think he's a little cocky, but he's really nice and not near as annoying as the others."

The wide-eyed tranny blinked several times in surprise before muttering a simple, "Okay." And walking over towards the living room; saying that he had some work to do.

I watched curiously as he walked away muttering suspiciously under his breath. Shrugging my shoulders, I wisely decided not to make a mountain out of a mole hill, and ignore him for the time being. Instead, my thoughts wondered back to ponder over my new classmate.

The relationship between him and Kyouya-sempai was rather strange. Byakuya seemed to act extremely familiar around the four-eyed boy. And Kyouya-sempai… Well, that was probably the weirdest part. He acted as if they were old friends. I guessed it was possible, but it seemed as if Kyouya-sempai was keeping secrets about the strange new transfer student. Then again, it wasn't like the Shadow King hadn't kept secrets before.

Byakuya's P.O.V.
"We've arrived home, Byakuya-sama." My chaffier informed me.

Stepping out of the car, I looked up at the huge, traditional Japanese mansion that I called home. All the surrounding land was also owned by my grandfather. So, we didn't have any neighbors. Walking over a small bridge, I crossed the elegant brook that flowed through the yard as I approached the mansion.

"Welcome home, Byakuya-sama." Suki, a squirrel Youkai servant, greeted me with a low bow.

I nodded my head briefly in acknowledgment. "Where is my grandfather?" I asked, "I need to speak to him."

"I regret to inform you that he is in the middle of a meeting, Milord." She replied.

A soft growl escaped my throat as I turned to leave. How frustrating! Chances are, by the time he was finished with his meeting, all the steam that'd been boiling up inside of me will have calmed down; leaving me with nothing left to vent!

"Well, someone looks to be a little grumpy today."

I froze in my tracks as I instantly recognized the familiar voice. Whirling around, I found myself face to face with probably one of my oldest friends who, in the past long years, had been something akin to an older brother to me. "Lavi?!" I breathed in shock.

The Tengu grinned as he stopped in front of me. He was a bit taller than me, and had short, dark brown hair, and dark green eyes; as well as a bit of a beard and mustache.

"I thought you were in America?" I continued after convincing myself that my eyes weren't deceiving me.

"I was." He admitted, "But I decided to come back after I got married."

...

…

Crickets chirping…

…

…

"YOU GOT MARRIED?!" I practically shrieked, for this was news to me, "To who?!"

"To a human actually." My friend chuckled in response before calling out, "Danielle!"

Several moments later a young woman with long, chocolate brown hair and light green eyes appeared. She was built a little stockier than most, but still held a beautiful appearance. Overall, a perfect match for my friend.

"Byaku, let me introduce you to my wife and mate, Danielle." Lavi said, wrapping an arm around the young woman's shoulders.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Shirotsuki." The American female greeted me with a friendly smile.

"The pleasures all mine," I replied warmly, dipping my head slightly in a respectful greeting, "and Byakuya is fine. No need for the wife of my oldest friend to use such formalities."

"Still quite the charmer, I see." The brown-haired Tengu teased me with a grin, "Geez! You ought to join a host club or something. I heard that there's even one at your new school!"

I visibly flinched and paled at the bearded male's remark. Something that he quickly took notice of.

His green eyes widened with disbelief, "Don't tell me you actually…"

An exhausted nod was all I gave him in response.

"Umm… Danielle Darling." He cooed to his confused wife, "Would you mind letting me talk to Byaku alone for a bit?"

"Sure." The long-haired woman replied with a surprised blink.

"I'll only be a moment." Lavi assured his mate before leaning down and giving her a soft kiss.

I looked away in a bit of embarrassment from the lovey dovey couple, deciding to let them have their time. However, after several minutes passed and they still hadn't stopped, I decided to clear my throat in order to inform them of my still lingering presence.

The couple broke apart almost instantly, one blushing in embarrassment while the other scratched the back of his head in a sheepish manner. Nodding her head to me briefly, Danielle departed; leaving me alone with the Tengu.

Lavi gave me a long, calculating look before finally speaking, "So, you… you actually joined the host club."

A heavy sigh parted from my lips as I leaned up against the wall and sat down on the deck, "Yes, unfortunately, I let Kyouya talk me into it."

The green-eyed male was silent for several seconds before, much to my annoyance, he burst out laughing.

"What?!" I snapped, eyebrow twitching with irritation.

"Nothing!" he laughed, waving his hands in defense, "It's just, I never would have expected that from you. Man, that's gotta kill on the senses!"

"It does." I groaned miserably, for the stench of female arousal was still clogging my sensitive nostrils.

A rotten grin spread over Lavi's face. "Of course," the brown-haired Tengu suggested mischievously, "you could also look at this as an opportunity to find a mate."

WHACK!

"Don't be ridiculous!" I snarled as I whacked him upside the head, causing him to begin his laughing anew. "I'm going to go lay down for a bit." I huffed as I stood up and made for my bedroom.

"Pleasant dreams." My friend called after me in a mocking tone.

Several veins popped over my forehead as I stormed away from the annoying idiot, "Pfft! Whatever!"
