At the Suoh manor the house keepers were serving small snacks as the host club arrived as well as guests of the club. The hosts were wearing matching black tuxedoes. Yumi was wearing a simple knee length black dress with spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline. Her hair was worn down to frame her pale face. Her dress fit her every curve so she looked just like a priceless porcelain doll.

The large hall was filled with people dancing, each girl in a different dress that framed them in a way to look pretty and sophisticated. There were several tables and chairs set up for people to sit if they grew tired from dancing and where they may eat if they wished. Tamaki's father was on a business trip so the housekeepers were in charge of supervising over the party.

"Hey Yumi how are you enjoying the party?" Kaoru smiled as he and Hikaru walked over to her. The two were finally able to slip away from the guests to talk to Yumi for a minute.

"Its fun, your guests are certainly enjoying themselves." Yumi smiled lightly. She had no intention of speaking about Akumu at the party. She did not want to ruin the night for anyone. She wanted to forget about her worries and just have fun with her friends, even if she and Kyouya were no longer on speaking terms.

"Tamaki's family always knows how to throw a party when his snooty grandma isn't here." Hikaru chuckled. "She usually ruins it by bringing her old lady friends and constantly putting the boss down."

Yumi had heard all the stories about Tamaki's grandmother and how horrible she was to him but he was always kind to her, no matter how mean she was to him.

Hikaru and Kaoru excused themselves as they each offered a girl to dance with them, making the girls squeal in glee. Yumi smiled and looked over and saw each host dancing with a female guest.

She saw Kyouya dancing with a thin pretty girl and a sharp pain went through her heart. It never bothered her as much as it did now when they were together but now that they had broken up it hurt, that sense of trust was gone. When they were together after the meetings where he had to fawn over the guests, she always knew that he had no interests in any of them, he just wanted her. There was no reason for him to hold back anymore. He could be with any of these pretty girls, many of which would just love to be with him if they could. Was he trying to make her jealous? If that was the case it was definitely working.

Yumi walked out onto the balcony and looked up at the nighttime sky. The sky was clear without a single cloud. The sky was decorated with bright stars that shone in contrast to the pitch black night. The moon was full tonight so the large yard had a beautiful glow. She had so many thoughts running through her mind, all of which involved Kyouya. Does he miss me? Does he hate me? Why doesn't he believe in me? But the main thought she had was I miss him…

"Hey Yumi come inside, you're missing the party!" Hikaru grabbed her wrist, driving her out of her thoughts as he pulled her back inside.

"You were out there for like half and hour." Kaoru whined.

"Sorry, I just love the night. It is so peaceful" Yumi smiled. She would often spend hours outside her manor just looking at the stars and enjoying the cool night air against her skin. There were many dates with Kyouya that were spent outdoors where the two could be alone to just relax and talk without interruptions.

"You are definitely the Shadow Queen" Hikaru chuckled. The twins had gotten into the habit of calling Yumi the Shadow Queen since she was just as dark and Kyouya and the fact that every king needed a queen by his side. Well, at least according to the twins.

"Come on the rest of the hosts are upstairs and need your opinion on our next skit. Now is the only time we can all slip away unnoticed since everyone is eating." Hikaru and Kaoru each had one of her arms and escorted her upstairs. They walked down a hallway to a guest room and walked in with her. The room however was empty.

"Where is everyone?" Yumi looked at the twins, not sure what was going on.

"We'll get the others be right back! Don't go anywhere!" The twins slid out of the room.

Yumi looked around at the large room. There was a full sized beg against the right wall with a well made white bedspread. To her left was a large spacious closet with the doors closed. Against the back wall was a large window with transparent white curtains pulled closed. "This room is nice" Yumi whispered to herself as she looked around.

She looked over at the door as she heard the sound of someone coming. They must finally be coming back… She thought to herself. She sat down on the bed and then saw Kyouya and her heart froze.

Kyouya was pushed into the room by the twins and the door shut quickly and the lock clicked, locking the two in.

"You two aren't coming out until you talk!" Hikaru's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

"I'll kill you two!" Kyouya growled his gaze locked on the door.

"Death threats won't help Shadow king now talk to your queen!" Kaoru chuckled as their voices and footsteps grew quieter as they walked away.

Kyouya let out a heavy sigh and just stared at the door. The two were silent, each one refusing to give in, no matter how much either one wanted to speak. Yumi was looking at him, she wanted to speak but she could not form any words.
