3rd Point Of View


"Ugh!" Shuzika whined for the millionth time as she and her brother headed through the rose Garden. Shin was pleased to find it was a Maze- Shuzika was the opposite. "We're going to get lost and die! Its so hot I'd not be surprised if we fell dead right now! Why is is so hot? Its almost winter!"

"Acutally," Her brother supplied, trying to cheer her up. "Its the beggining of Fall. But Fall is cold. Its only so dry here because the sun hits here most directly."

Shuzika looked sideways at him. "Whaddya mean?"

"Well, Japan is a little bit North of the Equator, so Japan in most near the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is warmer because the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are where the Sun's rays hit almost directly. The Sun, once on the other side of the Earth, will be heating them instead of us. The only downfall is here, we'll be freezing."

Shuzika processed what Shin had said, then sighed. "I hate you're logical attitude."

"No, you don't," Shin grinned proudly. "I'm you're Idol."

Shuzika stared open mouthed at him. "Wha- how'd- when- Huh?!"

Shin looked like he was trying to hold back a fit of laughter. "Two words," He began, "sleep talking!"

"Abe Shin! I am going to murder you!" She brought her hands up to his neck and his chuckled, 'tut'ing her. She paused her strangling. "What?"

"Fingerprints." He laughed. "You'll leave fingerprints and they'll know who did it!"

She dropped her hands and frowned. "Fine. How do you suggest I kill you?"

They both stared at eachother seriously before bursting into laughter.

After they'd calmed, they heard a bell call out in the distance.

Shin turned to Shuzika and laughed abruptly at her reluctant pout.

"I don't wanna go back to school!" She whined. Shin grabbed her arm and laughed.

"Come on! Its our first day and being late to two classes wont get us good reports," Shin reasoned, knowing how badly Shuzika hoped to get into an artistic school. She was a lovely painter. Extrodinary work was always sprawled out in her art studio out back. They both had beautiful talents. Shin could play the piano- he played so wonderfully, people cried when they heard. Shin didn't know what he was going to do with his career when he got one, but Shuzika had her heart set on painting. That was the only thing in her world that would make it all okay for her. Painting was a habit she was in no hurry to get rid of, such as piano was for Shin.

Shuzika allowed herself to be towed along beside Shin, back to the school.


Afterschool In Music Room #3


The Host Club lounged around with nothing better to do after their customers had left. The twins couldn't stop thinking about that other pair of twins. They had told Tamaki, but he had gone into a fit of drama, stating how they should come to the Host Club so he could meet them.

The twins looked boredly out the window and noticed two familiar yet unfamiliar figures standing by the road, seemingly arguing.

"Is that-?" Kaoru asked Hikaru, who nodded.

They looked at eachother mischeviously. "Eavesdropping?" Hikaru asked.

"Eavesdropping." Kaoru agreed. They opened the window slightly, and could hear everyword of the new kids' conversation.

"I told you! I told you!" The girl -Shuzika?- shrieked. The boy -Shin?- rolled his eyes.

"No, you didn't. I told you we're going to walk home. You can't always presume I'll go out of my way when you know we have to get familiar with this city. Father moved here before he was... Um..." Shin paused, looking at his right forarm strangely. "Well, you know. But we have barely been out to see this place. What did they call the towns for people who arent rich?"

"Commoner towns or something."

Shin made a face of disgust. "I can't believe rich people here make little pet names for those people. The kids here were just born into riches, they didn't have to work for it." He shook his head sadly. "I actually feel sorry for them. They aren't ready to take on a buisness their family had that made them so rich. Poor, unfortunate, unknowing souls..."

Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged surprised looks.

"I know!" Shuzika giggled, her long, midnight blue hair bouncing around her face. Shin pushed his out of his eyes and grinned.

"You okay with walking around?" He asked softly. "I can always call someone..."

"Who're you gonna call?" Shuzika smiled sadly. "We're alone in that house."

Shin shrugged. "So? We can call a cab or whatever. If you really don't want to walk-"

"No, no, I think walking will be good for me. Sorry I blew up at you..."

Shin laughed, pulling his sister into a hug. "There's the spirit! Now c'mon, I want to go have some ramen or something before we start exploring."

Shuzika licked her full lips. "Yum! What are we waiting for?"

Shin laughed loudly and him and Shuzika disappeared from Hikaru and Kaoru's sights. They heard scribbling behind them and turned boredly, finding the rest of the Host Club also listening in.

"Wow," Haruhi murmured. "They made up fast." She paused. "But I also like the fact that they don't discriminate 'Commoners'."

Hikaru and Kaoru hugged Haruhi, who struggled to escape.

"We don't mean it..." Kaoru grinned.

"... but you're our toy..." Hikaru added.

"... And it's only our job to annoy you like that!" They finished, giggling fakely.

Tamaki, like always, freaked out at the twins, who continued to push the envalope farther than it would go.

Kyouya stared at the space the twins had occupied.

I'm going to have to meet those two... He thought. Kyouya heard Hunni ask the question no one else was asking.

"Takashi, what did the girl mean, 'We're alone in that house'?"

Takashi paused, then shrugged. "Don't know."

That question swam in the air, refusing to die or be forgotten like the rest of the conversation had.
