As a forwarning...the preview lied...eheheheh...so yeah...enjoy...


"Kyoya, what is your father like?" Rah asked as they returned to her apartment. "Apparently he's a tad bit evil, because I don't think you get that from your mother, right?" She looked at him as she set her skateboard against the wall by the door.

"He usually doesn't do things unless he has a plan." Kyoya told her as she walked into the kitchen, and put the waters in the refridgator. She came back into the room.

"What would turn his plans astray?" She asked him as he stood there, not sure what to do. She walked into the other room, her bedroom. "Keep talking, I can hear ya where ever in this tiny place."

"Something he wouldn't expect for his plans."

"What do you think his plans are?" She walked out of her bedroom and into the bathroom and set some towels in there.

"Either to ruin your life more by sending you back with your parents, or to get a better deal with your parents on any new office buildings and hospitols he wishes to invest in over in the states."

"Damn..." Rah said, "Or he can do both, can't he?"

"Or that." Kyoya said as she smirked. "That smirk worries me, Rah." He said, sitting down finally.

"My parents, and your family still all think that I'm that punk kid that dealt with thievery and mischieve...right?"

"Yes...and you still are. What's your point?" He asked as her smirk turned into a grin.

"Prove them wrong." She said, going into the bathroom again and turning on the water in the shower. "Show them that Rachelle Marie Jenkins is better off in Japan." She said through the closed down. "I'm gonna jump in the shower momentarily. If you want, I have some video games out that are plugged into the TV if you want to play."

He looked at the TV where a PS2 slim was plugged in. Attached to the PS2 was a mat. "What the hell is this?" He asked looking at the mat. She popped her head out to see what he was looking at.

"It's called DDR, really fun game...you should try it...beginner for you though." She said before closing the door. She got into the shower and took one. About a half hour later she came out fully clothed and a small towel over her short black hair. She looked over at Kyoya who was attempting at DDR. She stayed quiet, watching for a moment as he played, missing not a lot of arrows, but still a good ammount. "Kyoya..." She said grinning, holding back laughter. "I think you need lessons." She said sitting on the floor behind him. "That or you just don't have any talent."

He sat down next to her, out of breath. "That game..." He said, breathing heavily, "...is worse than P.E." She laughed at his comment.

"If you want, you can use the shower." She said as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes. He stood up, his eyes still on her, questioning her a bit. "The towels are in my room, by my bed. Then in the shower, there is shampoo and conditioner. Be careful in the shower because it can get slippery if your not careful." She looked at him, like he was crazy since he continued to look at her like she was. "What?!"

"Are you feelling sick or something?" He asked as she laughed.

"No, why? You think I'm conspiriting to catch you in the shower, or in a towel, get pictures, and make a magazine with them to give them to the girls that fantasize about you every waking moment of their life ever since they met you?"

"You said that a little to serious for my liking Rah..." He said as she jumped to her feet.

"The sad thing is that there are some girls at school that are like that." She said going in her room to get the towel for him. "But don't worry, I won't peek..." She said smiling at him. "Trust me on it..." She said, pushing him to the bathroom. "Now take a shower, Kyoya...I don't think you would want your dad to think I did anything to you...do you?" She said, pausing.

He stayed quiet as he got into the shower and she entered her room. Kyoya's phone went off while he was in the shower and Rah answered it, seeing it was Tamaki who was calling.

"Hello?" Rah answered, sitting on the floor.

"Wait, did I dial the wrong number? I thought I was calling Kyoya..." Tamaki said, confused.

"You did." Rah said sweetly. "But he can't talk right now."

"Why not?"

"He's just taking a shower after a little work out he went through." She said simply. "And it's nothing perverted like you are thinking, Tamaki."

"This is Rah, right?"

"Of course it is." She said bluntly. "Who else would it be?"

"Kyoya." She stared at the phone, wishing Tamaki was infront of her so she could smack him hard.

"Anyways, Tamaki, do you need Kyoya for anything?" Rah asked rolling onto her stomache. "Anything important other than anything useless."

"It's something that I must speak to Kyoya too, and no one else must overhear." He said trying to act serious.

The bathroom door opened and Rah looked over to see Kyoya with a questioning look on his face. He didn't have his glasses on, but was in a pair of jeans with a towel on his head, drying his hair. "Rah, who's on the phone?" She looked at him, her mind going blank on any language she ever knew.

"Is that Kyoya?" Tamaki said into the phone.

"Y-yeah...K-Kyoya..it's Ta-tamaki..." She said handing the phone to him.

"Rah...are you okay? You look a little red." He said as she rested her head on the door frame to her bedroom.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine..." She said, trying to recompose herself. What the hell is wrong with me!?! What the hell is this feelling inside me...if it continues, I might as well be sick... She thought finally getting herself back to normal.

"Rah, do you think I could throw my shirt in the washer?" He asked as he covered the mouth piece to his phone.

"Y-yeah, it's downstairs, I'll take it so you can talk on the phone." She said as he handed the shirt to her. He nodded, finding the way she started acting a bit weird, and very unlike her. "I'll be back in a bit." She said before leaving the apartment. What the hell?! Something has to be wrong with me! Seriously! I'm such an idiot if I get sick because of this!

"Kyoya..." Tamaki said calmly as Kyoya returned to the phone.

"Hmm?" He asked, still drying his hair.

"I have so many questions for you now that I did five minutes ago." He said, Kyoya being able to tell Tamaki was holding back from bursting.

"What are they, Tamaki?" Kyoya asked sitting on the floor.

"May I ask..." He said before speeding drastically up in speaking. "What are you doing at her house? In her shower? What are you doing with her at all?! Kyoya! She's changing you! And we don't think she's the type of person that should be hanging around you." He said in about one breath, maybe two.

"First off, Tamaki." Kyoya said, remaining calm and cool. "I'm at her house because as you saw earlier, we were trying to eat breakfast."

"I know that! YOU left me with the bill!" He said bluntly.

"Second off, I played this very odd video game, and she let me barrow her shower." He explain, still without any emotion. "Third off, she is someone I met in America, and if you hadn't realize, she doesn't make friends so easily." Tamaki let out a sigh of annoyance. "Does it bother you that I am around someone that is not in the club, Tamaki?"

"No, it bothers me that you are off flirting, and is going to lower the profits we make in the club, because no one will go to you if they see you off with some... some..." He could think up a word for it, "Some girl who doesn't even belong in Ouran, let alone, Japan."

"Tamaki, you are the last person I would think would ever say that." Kyoya said harshly towards him. Tamaki apparently was shocked by the change of attitude in Kyoya's voice.

"Kyoya..." Tamaki said, sounding a bit hurt. "Have you not seen it yourself? Ever since she's come here, you've...you've become like a different person." He said, continuing with, "It's a person that is almost nothing like the old shadow king, or mother was ever like. You've never acted like this with anyone else...Kyoya...what happened in America?"

"Now isn't the time for this Tamaki." Kyoya said looking over to see Rah entering the apartment. "We'll discuss this matter later." He said, regaining his calm and collected composer. He hung up with Tamaki and turned towards Rah, who had his shirt. "How much did you hear?"

"Kyoya, if you want, you can tell them about what happened in America...if that would save your ties to the host club." She said as he took his shirt. "Or if they honnestly just don't want you to hang around me, it's okay. If my parents are there tonight, which they most likely are...they'll probably take me back to America...so it would all be over here in Japan for me."

"Rah, Tamaki and them are being a jealous I guess you could say." he said sliding his shirt on. "They're not use to me being around other people other than them..." He slipped his glasses back on and looked at her. She was leaning against the wall, starring at the ground. He could tell she wanted to say something, but was wondering if she was or not. "Rah...?" He said walking over towards her.

"Kyoya...I know how they must feel..." She said, still looking at the ground, "I come from another country, I grew up with a rich family, but I'm nothing like anyone at Ouran. I had problems with my family when I was growing up. I had my twin brother taken and killed, I had Ian's little brother die because of me. Daniel and Lillian died because of me...if they knew that, they'd probably think that I was just going to end up getting you killed too."

She wouldn't look up at him, just starred at the floor. He was getting a bit annoyed about her doing this.

"God dammit, Rah!" He said hitting the wall behind her, causing her to go wide-eyed and look up at him in shock. She then quickly returned to the ground, focusing as hard as she could to not look up at him. "Stop blaming everything on yourself, you're not under your parents household right now, and they're not forcing it on you!" He said, startling her because he's never showed any sort of anger or emotion of it towards her. "Just forget about it all! I believe I told you before, Ian's brother's death was not your fault, your twins death was not your fault, and neither was Lillians or Daniels. It was accidental for all of them!"

She stayed quiet, her eyes closed, and she could feel tears welding in her eyes, remembering each one. Kyoya put his free hand, the one that didn't hit the wall, under her chin, and forced her to look at him. She opened her eyes as the tears spilled over. "If I wasn't around, if I had traded spots with my brother, they would be alive, they would be happy...and...and..."

"And we wouldn't have met." He said, "I wouldn't know any other life other than that of the third son of a rich business man, and not that of other people, that have problems that are worse than getting an A minus in AP Chemistry." She looked at his brown eyes, seeing, and knowing that he was serious. "You opened my eyes to a world that I would have never seen. Tamaki is right, you have changed me, Rah."

"I'm sorry for doi-" He cut her off.

"Don't be sorry." He snapped at her. "It's best that we met, it's strange to say this, but Tamaki is right, he's right that you've changed me, but it's all for the better. It's a better understanding of the world that those that grow up rich don't rarely see." He removed his hand from her chin and turning away. "Why is it?" He asked no body in general.

"Why is what?" Rah said, still standing by the wall.

"Why is it, that when I'm around you, it's like I'm a different person, that I'm not like myself, like I am around everyone else?" He asked as she stood there. "There's no logical answer I can think of...I've been trying to figure it out since I was on the plan ride home from America, but I just pushed it aside... Then you show up here, and I've been wondering about it more and more."

"Kyoya..." She said causing him to turn towards her. "I know what you mean..." She said, looking away again, "Like how around you, I'm a different person...I'm not the American transfer student that's a complete ass to basically anyone. I smile, I laugh...I hadn't ever done that in years..."

"What about Ian?" Kyoya asked her.

She kind of laughed. "I guess I should at least tell you...Ian and I are distant cousins." Kyoya apparently showed confusion. "We don't tell anyone though. You're actually the first to know in about a decade. Everyone just thinks that we're together because we get along so well, but we're cousins... and it's different being around him, than it is being around you."

"So, Rah, it's getting closer to the time that we're suppose to arrive at my house...And we still haven't come up with a full length and complete plan yet." He said changing the subject. She just smirked.

"Well, I have a few plans, you see." She said as they sat down and she pulled out a notebook with a pen.

.:That Night:.

They arrived a bit early, and snuck into the house, unseen by any parents. In Kyoya's room, they went over the plan again, when the door opened, and Rah flipped herself over the bed so she wouldn't be seen. Kyoya's sister, Fuyumi came in.

"Kyoya-kun..." She said looking at him, "Can you tell your friend that she doesn't need to hide?" Rah climbed back on the bed, slightly laughing.

"What is it, Fuyumi?" Kyoya asked her.

"Your sister, right?" Rah asked Kyoya, who nodded.

"Kyoya-kun, Father knows that you are here, but hasn't mentioned anything to the Jenkins. He wishes for me to tell you that you need to dress appropiate, as if it's a formal dinner because that's what it is." Rah looked at Kyoya, then at Fuyumi. "I guess you wouldn't have a formal on you, would you, Rachelle."

"It's Rah..." She said without meaning too. It was a forcive habit.

"Rah, right." She said, noting it. "Come with me, you can probably fit into one of mine." Rah reluctantly went with her, leaving Kyoya in his room, to get prepared for it. He closed up the notebook they had on the bed and slid it under his bed.

"Let's hope tonight goes as planned..." He said to himself as he left his bed to go to his closest. "...And not a complete and utter failler..."

"So, Rah...what colors do you like to wear?" Fuyumi asked Rah as she sat on Fuyumi's bed. Fuyumi looked in her closest, "Do you know what your sizes are?"

"Height is five foot five...um...what else do you need?" Rah asked her, not sure what other sizes she was.

"Your bust, waist and hips." She said as Rah's eye twitched. "Do you not know?"

"My what?!" Rah said looking bewildered.

"Okay, here...I'll have one of the maids measure you." She said, calling one of the maids in. "Here, measure her bust, waist and hips."

"Right, Fuyumi-san." She said, turning towards Rah, who took a few steps back.

"Wh-what are you going to do?!" She said, jumping over Fuyumi's bed that she had in her old room.

"Just some measurements, don't worry about it, Rah." Fuyumi said.

After much struggle, the maid was able to get some measurements, and Rah layed exhausted on her bed. The maid gave Fuyumi the measurements and she looked for a dress with those measurements. "Perfect!" She said glancing over at Rah, who had pulled out a gameboy system and started to play it. "Rah...what are you doing?"

"Trying to get my Charmander to evolve." She said, "Let's see, scratch! Yeah! Killed your Squirtle!" She said grinning.

"Here, try this on." Fuyumi said as Rah glanced over, her eye twitching.

"Evil..." She said as she saw the dress.
