The Art of Satisfaction

"Haruhi." Mouths dropped open.

"why?" Tamaki asked in defense and got between the two.

"After all you know she's a girl so why would you want her to host you?"

"I'm sorry. Would you like for me to sit with you then." An evil spark ignited her eyes as she held up Belzeneff.

Tamaki jumped back in fear and got behind Haruhi.

"She can sit with me I don't really care either way." Haruhi said with an annoyed tone of voice.

"Perfect. So, what should we do Haruhi?"

Charlotte grabbed Kyoya's arm and rubbed up like a kitten.

"See, I have many different personalities. Which one would you like me to use?" Charlotte asked all of the sudden a US marine.

"The lonesome girl that wont let anyone near her even if one asks." Kyoya growled. "And who hides and stays away from people and guys especially." "Sorry, it has to be a personality that I can stay with you so can tell me to stop."

Irritation bubbles floated in the air.

"So," across the room, Haruhi and Rose sat down at a table. "I'm sorry, but why did you choose me?"

Rose was taken back by the question, the n shrugged.

"You remind me of someone I used to know." …before the war. But she said nothing. "That and you were the only one I could bare to sit next to for more then five minutes. I thought for sure I might sit with Hikaru for a second, but then I…" she cleared her throat.

"So! Enough about the past. Tell me about yourself! Food, family, colors, anything I've got an hour."

Haruhi chuckled at Rose's face with how happy it suddenly seemed, but then straightened up and readied to speak.

"I think all colors are equal really, and I kind of like…" She seemed embarrassed as she mumbled, "fancy tuna…"

"Oh, can't say I've ever had it." Rose said shyly.

"Really? Huh, okay. Well, I live with my dad and go to school here she paused and thought a second. "And that's it."

"No wait, you said you live with your dad. Did your parents get a divorce?"

As Haruhi and Rose starred at each other in an awkward stage in conversation, Charlotte was being extremely inappropriate because Hikaru and Koaru said she wouldn't be able to pretend you be a hooker… yeah…

"Oh come on. I told you I had different personalities."

Kyoya was thankful he could hide his blushing as Charlotte sat on his lap and stroked his cheek.

"Okay! We get it you can stop it now!" Jealous school girls were in their little anime positions with unrealistic tears in their eyes.

"Nah, I want to watch this." Tamaki said normally, but with interest.

"Sicko! Get her off me!" Kyoya couldn't hold it in and pushed Charlotte to the ground.

Charlotte was complete ooc for a second as she held her wrist and sniffled.

"Kyoya… I was just… j-just…" one couldn't see her face, but they could see tears rolling down her cheeks.

With slight regret, Kyoya knelt down and checked her wrist. "I'm… sorry I didn't mean to hurt you."

When Charlotte looked up, Kyoya was amazed at the change of demeanor in the teenager's face.

"Oh… th-that's alright." She stood up slowly, with Kyoya aiding her balance.

Then, all tears were gone in an instant and mischievous laughter echoed through the room as an evil smile spread like wild fire across Charlotte's face.

"W-what…" Kyoya was speechless.

"I said it a million times Kyoya, but I'll say it again for your convenience: different personalities."

The room erupted with applause because everyone had been watching and everyone thought it was an act… which it was one and one of Charlotte's best.

"Thank you everyone!" Happy laughter and then the room died down into the regular girl squeals. Kyoya plopped on the couch in disbelief and didn't flinch when Charlotte sat back down in his lap… he was too in shock.

"I'm sorry, that was a personal question…" Rose and Haruhi had barely noticed the episode and had been in dark silence the entire time.

"Oh, it's nothing really. She died when I was little and-"

"What! I'm so sorry! Please! I didn't realize- I just.. I shouldn't have asked I wouldn't want that question asked either I'm so so so sorry." On the verge of panicking, she sat back down not realizing she had stood up. What would Mother say?… What would she do?

"Huh?" Charlotte looked behind her at the sad scene. Her scared, fluttering Rose on chaos's door mat.

"Rose! What happened?" Charlotte leapt off Kyoya's lap and ran to her sister's aid.

"Oh it's… it's fine Rose you didn't…" Haruhi began.

"Rose, what's wrong?" Charlotte kneeled down to her sister and held her hand.

"Nothing. Let's go. There is nothing to discuss and there are only ten minutes left anyway." Rose stood up with a dark expression.

"Yes Rose. I'll prepare things for the evening in the dormitory. Then we can talk." The sudden servant bowed and led her master out of the room, sending a mental dagger at Haruhi who actually felt it and held her head in a realization that she had a headache that pierced her every being.

"What happened?" Charlotte repeated for the seventeenth time that night. She folded the clothes left on the ground and prepared pajamas for her sister.

"It was my fault… please just don't tell Mother about it." A small voice filled the bathroom and the sound of draining water started to be the only sound in the dormitory.

"Of course not." Charlotte bowed and presented the room to her mistress. "Your majesty, I'll do anything you like."

"Then don't be suck a peasant around those people. You are supposed to pretend to be the stronger and more powerful one. Do you want our enemies to find me before we find the key?" The moist, but angry Rose didn't look at her younger sister. She only got dressed and sat into her bed, Charlotte pulled the covers over.

"No, I would rather be a traitor then that."

"You would be a traitor if that happens. Please tell me you didn't do anything to Haruhi just because I was upset." Rose laid down and got comfortable.

"I… I shall not lie. I gave her the 'soul terror'"

Rose shot up straight and yelled, "You idiot! Fix it!"

Charlotte stood straight, bowed and left the room to find Haruhi before her soul started mending her dreams to terrify her.

"Koaru!" Charlotte ran towards the late staying boy who was surprised to find this disappearing actress running at him.

"Hello Charlotte-Chan. What brings you out in the middle of the night?" Koaru smiled.

"Where does Haruhi live?" the question sent a red flag up his brain.

"Why do you need to know?" He asked skeptically.

"Never mind! Forgive me for this. I must obey my master."

One who was supervising the scene would have had their jaw drop to the floor when Charlotte grabbed Koaru's neck tie and pulled him down into a hard but blossoming kiss… shocked?

"Thank you Koaru, but you won't remember any of this." the unfazed teenager patted Koaru's cheek and ran away outside and toward Haruhi's house.

"Koaru! What happened?" Hikaru had been watching that entire thing but from a distance he couldn't hear anything.

"Are you alright? What did she do to you?" Hikaru didn't stop asking questions as his twin kept starring blankly into space.

"Oh my God Koaru you kissed her!" Ah, so that was his real concern.

The next morning, Rose was greeted with a cup of tea and a satisfied younger sister with triumph in her smile.

"She had pleasant dreams I expect?" Was all she said.

"Yes Rose." But that wasn't the only thing she was happy about… she had kissed a boy!
