Chapter 7: Truth or Bust!
Alicia was confused as she walked the halls of her house. She was starting to worry for the feelings that she felt for Kyoya. She had to plan a something that would help her get closer to him, without endangering him or anyone else. If her grandfather over got to know what she was doing, he would kill Kyoya without thinking.
- You are one big stubborn girl- Artemis scolded her- I told you that he is trouble and what do you do? You go off to make out with him.
- I don't know what's gotten into me, Artemis. I feel so strange when Kyoya is near me. Something hypnotic, I can't explain what.
- Well if it wasn't for me, you would have done something completely wrong.
- I need to see him
- Umm, didn't I just make myself clear! You plus Kyoya equals Bad! I'm telling you, I do something right for you and you don't even pay any attention.
On Monday, she went to host club in search of him. He was going to find who Kyoya really was. She had her bracelet on and she was decided to find out.
- So you come back to me? I suspect you are here to apologize after what happened yesterday.
- Apologize? Why should I?
- The cat must have been yours. I bet it was all a trap set by you.
- You really think that I am so evil that I would do a thing like that. Well, Ootori, I'll have you know, I am nothing like my grandfather. If you think that because I am a Silvermoon I am an evil person, you are totally and utterly wrong.
- So what have you come here anyways?- Kyoya said rather annoyed.
- I want to get to know you. Because unlike you I do like to talk like a civilized person. Something I'm betting you don't know.
- You already know me. What else do you want to know?
- I only know your social life. You are the shadow king of the Host club and that you are the third son of the Ootori family.
- Well that's al there is to me- said Kyoya.
- No, there isn't. I don't want to know what you are, I want to know who you are. I want to know you tastes, your dislikes, your virtues, and your feelings. I want to see the human Kyoya.
- Why do you want to know? What would you gain from it?
- Nothing. Or better yet I would gain your friendship, something that for me is very important, so quit the whining and get to talking. We're loosing daylight here.
Kyoya was amazed to see the sincereness of Alicia. No one in the world would stop their time to listen to him. Of course he did tell Tamaki, but other than him and his sister, he never opened himself to anyone.
- I don't know what to say- he said slowly.
- Just start with your favorite color or movie or book. Come on you can do it.
Kyoya wasn't sure if he should open his mind with Alicia, but something inside him told him that she was surely not like her grandfather. She was special in someway. Her eyes showed her sincerity and her joy. She was the kind of person who would be there when he needed it, someone he could trust. Although looks do deceive. He only said some of his favorite things and other ideas he had. He didn't open his heart to her like she wanted.
But for Alicia it was ok. She knew Kyoya was a tough cookie, she was just going to have to be patient is all. Alicia told him her favorite things and other small details as well. She was convinced that only when Kyoya was able to open his feelings to her, she was going to do the same.
Kyoya saw how Alicia was willing to acknowledge him as a human being rather than a person to gain something out of. She was very intelligent, same or more than him. They had many things in common and quickly were more comfortable with each other.
Alicia left the host club feeling so happy with herself, she had done something right for once. She got home and decided no to say anything to anyone. She was very serious when she was with someone, but once she was alone she couldn't hide her smile. Alicia was getting ready for bed when her cell phone rang.
Alicia didn't recognize the number, but answered either way.
- Hello?
- Alicia, good evening.
The voice on the other side was unconfusable. Kyoya Ootori.
- Good evening, Kyoya. How did you get my number?
- I have my sources. Well anyways, I was just calling to see how you were.
- Well, I'm ok if that's what you're asking. I was just about to go to sleep. Is that all you wanted to talk about?
- Well no- Kyoya sounded nervous, something Alicia never expected from him- I wanted to ask you something very important.
- Ask away. I'm listening.
- Alicia, this might sound a bit open forward but would you like to go out on a date with me?
Alicia opened her eyes widely. Was it just her or did Kyoya just asked her out? This was confusing. Surely this was something tricky. Or he could be progressing in his opening his heart thing.
- Uhh, I don't know what to say.
- I'll give you a hint. The word starts with Y and ends in ES.
- Alright, sure, why not? Yes I will go out with you- said Alicia chuckling.
- Excellent. I will pick you….
-NO!- Alicia interrupted him nervously- I mean why don't we just meet somewhere? Say a restaurant in the center of Tokyo that's in front of the bookstore.
- Alright. I will see you there. Good night Alicia, sweet dreams.
- Yeah, you too.
Alicia ended the call and thinking in her head. For one she was excited to be on a date with Kyoya. But on the other she was nervous that her grandfather would find out. She was tired of guessing the reasons why Kyoya was dangerous. She needed the truth.
Her grandfather was in his study room as usual drinking a cup of whiskey that he always loved. Alicia entered with nervous steps and approached her grandfather.
- Good evening, Grandpapa. How are you?
- I've been better. What do you want?
- Grandpapa, I need you to explain something to me. Could you tell me what was the reason why you and the Ootori Family are in a huge fight?
Victor opened his eyes widely and turned to look Alicia deeply.
- Ootori? Why do you want to know about those lowlifes?
- Well I know that you aren't very fond of them, but I want to know why.
- I don't know if I should tell you, but well you will have to know sooner or later. Kyosuke Ootori and I are in a huge fight. We have been for a long time. And the reason we are in a fight is because he lost to me in a magical duel.
-Magical duel? Then does that mean that Kyosuke was…
-A warlock? Yes, and a big idiot at that.
Alicia was completely surprised. She never knew that the Ootori were warlocks. Could it be that the reason why she feels so close to Kyoya? Could it be that he is controlling him with a spell. But now that she remembered once a person is in a magical duel, the looser would lose their powers forever. So that means Kyoya is not a warlock.
- And what happened?
- It's a long story, something that shouldn't be of your interests. Why are you so interested in them anyways? You wouldn't happen to know one, would you?
- No of course not- said Alicia. She was very nervous, but didn't show any, since her grandfather would punish her if she lied to him.
- Good. I don't want to hear that you know one, because I would personally kill me with my hands. Then I would punish you for good.
Alicia made a big gulp.
- Yes, Grandpapa. I will not engage a friendship with any Ootori. I promise- Alicia put her hands behind her and crossed her fingers.
- Now go on to bed, you have school tomorrow. I'm not sending you to school for nothing.
- Yes Grandpapa, as you wish- Alicia turned around and walked out of the study room. This was going to get heavy. Somehow she needed to be very discreet. Or end this relation for good.
Tuesday was another day. So many people, so many compliments, Alicia was tired of all those people telling her how perfect she was. It sickened her. She wasn't even concentrating on school. She was busy thinking of her grandfather. What could have happened that made the Ootori family so mad? She believed that her grandfather was capable of many things to get what he wants, something she wasn't so proud of.
- Hey earth to Alicia!
- Huh? Oh Haruhi, what's up?
- Where do you go when you doze off like that?- Haruhi said.
- Everywhere and nowhere. It's complicated.
- So are you up for some studying at my house. I was thinking of finishing our social studies project.
- Oh, well I have a personal issue to take care of. You don't mind if I come to your house tomorrow, do you?
- No, it's ok but we need to do the assignment. Or else we'll flunk social studies.
- Yeah, yeah, sure.- Alicia said distractedly.
She didn't even go home that afternoon. She went directly to where she would meet with Kyoya. She waited for him, and quite honestly he was awfully late. Alicia knew it was too good to be true. As she was stepping out she saw Kyoya running to her.
- Wait! Alicia, I'm here!- Kyoya stopped in front of Alicia and took a second to catch his breath- Sorry I'm late. The host club was a total mess and I had to stay. Come let's go inside.
- Kyoya, I need you to tell me what you know about the feud.
Kyoya opened his eyes. Why is it that every time he saw that girl she always had an uncomfortable question to ask. He didn't know what to reply.
- I know very little- he lied.
Alicia grabbed his hands and looked deeply at his eyes.
- You are lying to me, Kyoya. You promised you wouldn't lie- she said seriously.
- Alright- he said- I know that my grandfather and your grandfather are war…
- Shhh! We are in public! You can't say anything about it when mortals are around. Now tell me everything you know.
- Not much. Kyosuke, my grandfather told me that he was a "you know what" and that your grandfather had cheated when he engaged him on a duel. My grandfather lost and now holds a huge grudge against him.
- So you knew all along who I was?- said Alicia curiously.
- Yes. I knew of your gift. I was afraid that you would trick me into falling for you so that I would betray my family.
- Kyoya, I would never use that. I am not that pathetic that I have to use a spell to get a man. I got close to you without knowing anything about the feud. I honestly had no idea what my grandfather ever did to yours. You have to believe me Kyoya.
- And I do. Now I'm afraid of what your grandfather might do to me and to you if he finds out- Kyoya grabbed her hands and hugged her.
- That's why we need to end this relationship. I can't let you get hurt Kyoya. I don't want my grandfather to do anything to you.
- So you are leaving me. Is that it- Kyoya sounded hurt. He was actually sad for this. He separated from Alicia and saw how she was on the peak of tears. She was just as sad as him.
- I don't want to leave you, but if it's for your safety, I have no choice.
- Then I guess this is a goodbye then.
- No Kyoya, this isn't a goodbye. I will see you soon. It seems that wherever I go you'll be right there waiting for me. Even in my dreams, you are there. So this isn't a farewell this is a "see you soon".
Alicia got on her tiptoes and kissed Kyoya lightly on his lips. He accepted the kiss and gave it back with such tenderness. He wasn't being possessive, he wasn't taking love, just giving love. He was giving Alicia a taste of his love. The world seemed to tremble around them. No one exists, just them and that kiss. Once they got separated Kyoya hugged Alicia, who had burst into tears. He felt a small teardrop on his face. The first one in so many years. He quickly cleaned it from his cheek so no one could see.
From afar the couple was being observed. The man was looking at them and capturing each moment.
- We have them sir. What do you suggest we do sir?
- Don't worry. I have the perfect punishment for my naughty granddaughter- Victor Spellman said as he began thinking of his punishment.
What could victor be thinking? What will happen to Kyoya and Alicia now that he knows who she is? Will their love survive even with Victor as their enemy? When am I ever gonna get a Review from you guys?

A.N. I know I took a long time to update but I have my reasons! I personally had a huge Writers Block and I was starting to loose hope on my own FF. I was about to give up when I read this amazing FF that gave me many ideas for this and I got back to writing! I don't know if many have noticed but this FF is a copy of my other FF called "Sabrina meets the Ouran Host Club" and well since not many people read crossovers I made an OC and turned this into "Love has its tricks" So I hope you guys enjoy it! Oh and give me some reviews! If it sucks just let me know! Got to book it! Later days! (ha the influence of "The Weekenders" :P)
