Personal Boundaries

I woke up after hearing a light knock at my door and sleepily made my way towards it. I stepped out into the halls, Sky following after me. I noticed Casey standing in the hall, Quinn hovering over her. Kyoya came around the conner and walk into the hall.

"I'll be waiting out front in the car to go to school. Be ready in twenty minutes." His glasses flashed dangerously as he strode passed Quinn and Casey. I walked back into my room and brushed my teeth and combed my hair, Sky did the same. I meet Casey outside. We walked together though the halls chatting about nothing important, soon we were outside. Sky moved in front of me and opened the door.

"Thank you." I mumbled reluctantly. I got in the car Sky coming in after me, then Casey, then Quinn. Kyoya stared at Quinn, his body was tense.

"Where do you two go to school?" Said Kyoya probably wanted to get rid of them.

"Actually Sky and I are known students at Ouran. I applied last night for Sky and I and we were immediately accepted" Quinn said smiling smugly.

"We are also be joining the host club" Sky added, looking at me for some kind of reaction.

"Oh, I don't remember inviting you two join?" Kyoya said polishing his glasses.

"You didn't, but Sky and I will bring in more costumers, causing more profit. You'd be an idiot to not accept us into the host club." Quinn answered calmly. I hate to admit it but Quinn had a point, Kyoya must have saw how many girls were fawning over them when they first entered the host club. They would bring a substantial number of new costumers in causing an increase in profit. Knowing Tamaki they needed the money. Kyoya remained silent, Quinn had won this round. Kyoya: 0, Quinn: 1. The car stopped signally that we had arrived at school, Quinn opened the door and got out, Casey following after him. Sky got out, then me, then Kyoya. Casey and I walked together to class, not talking, knowing everything we said would he heard by Sky and Quinn. The school passed unusually fast, but that was normal. The school bell rang, Casey and I walked together to the host club in silence. We walked to our usual table, sitting down. Sky pulled a chair over and set it between me and Casey, sitting down. Quinn also pulled over a chair and set it beside Casey. Everyone in the host club was looking at us, silently asking 'what are they doing here?'. I could hear Kyoya call everyone over to explain that Sky and Quinn where known members. After their meeting everyone went to there tables. Tamaki walked over to our table.

"We have some extra uniforms in the back. As a host member we have to look our best all the time" Tamaki said sternly, which was unusual for him. After that he walked over the doors and let the guest in, then continued to his table. Sky let out a long irritated sigh, his eyes soon fixed on me.

"I going to get change, don't move!" He said standing up. Quinn stood up as well, giving Casey a lengthly stare. As soon as they were gone Casey and I let out a sigh of relief. I was about to explain to Casey about the agreement I had made with Sky when I heard Honey yelling my name. I gave Casey an apologetic look before I stood up and walked over to Honey's and Mori's table. I looked at Honey, waiting to see what he needed me for. He walked up to me smiling flowers flouting around his head, I couldn't help smiling.

"You're it!" He yelled as he ran away. I shook me head, smiling childishly as I sprinted after him, laughing all the way. I was gaining on him, we had made a full circle. Honey laughed as he climbed Mori as if he was a tree. I ran over to Mori trying to tag Honey, but every time I tried to tag Honey, Mori simple moved to the side. I finally gave up, and set my eyes on a new target.

"You're it!" I yelled tagging Mori, then sprinted off. Honey immediately jumped off of him, but instead of going after Honey, how was closer, Mori ran after me. I had a huge lead on him. I skidded to a stop I front of the twins table, currently they were I a brotherly embrace. I ran though them, and took Hikuras' set.

"Quick Hikura! Sit on me!" I yelled. He looked at me, confusion evident on his face. Mori would be here any minute! I panicked and grabbed Hikura and made him sit on me, Hikura body tensed.

"Hold still for a second" I whispered, trying to hold back laughter

"What are you doing?" Said Hikura, his voice was shaking.

"Oh grow up, this is the only way Mori wont caught me, I know it's awkward but he will be gone in a couple of minutes." I said rolling my eyes.

"No, it's all right, take your time." He said a certain edge to his voice. I heard Mori as he ran pass the twins table.

"He's gone know" said Kaoru. Hikura got off of me, I stood up. They both looked at me waiting for an explanation. A faint blush lingered on Hikura cheeks as he avoided eye contact, confusion written on his face.

"Mori, Honey and I are playing tag. I had to hide! Or else he would have tagged me!" I said acting like that would be the worst thing in the world. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned my head to see Mori standing there. He must have seen me from across the room and snuck up on me.

"Tag you're it" he said calmly. A devious smile escaped my lips as I picked my next target.

"Tag you're it!" I yelled tagging the twins, then running off. The twins run after me. I ran towards Tamaki, how thought I was running over to hug him. I ducked under his arms, then pushed him toward the twins. There was a loud crash, proceeded by Tamaki yelling and chasing after the twins. All hell broke loss, all the guest were running around, playing tag. I just assumed that everyone was 'it'. I saw Casey out of the conner of my eye, walking towards me. This would be the perfect time to talk about our current situation. She walked up to me, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Tag you're it!" She yelled then ran away. So much for talking... Oh well, I smiled shaking my head.

"CASEY HOW DARE YOU BETRAY MY TRUST! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" I screamed over exaggerating. I started to run when suddenly Kaoru collided into me. The first pain I felt was in my head, probably from when we hit each other. My body hit the ground, Kauro falling on top of me. I could feel his heart beating against me. I averted my eyes knowing that I would blush because of how close our were bodies were.

"Ow" Kaoru said pushing him self up, I could feel him staring at me. I pushed myself up, and looked at him. A large bump was forming on his head, a trickle of blood flowed out of it. I reached into my coat jacket and pulled out a handkerchief, then I scooted over to him. I dabbed my handkerchief on the small cut, wiping up the blood. His eyes widened, seeming shocked at my actions, but then they softened and he opened his mouth as if to say something. Right at that moment, my attention was drawn to the other side of the room where Tamaki was spinning Casey around in his arms.

"SO CUTE!" He yelled. I couldn't help but laugh. I also noticed that neither Sky or Quinn were back from the changing. I couldn't help feel worried. I went over and rescued Casey from Tamaki's grasp, to his displeasure. We both started walking over to the changing rooms.

"Wait, take these." Tamaki said throwing Casey and I phones. We both caught them, then we walked together into the other room.

"Sky, Quinn?" I yelled. I walked over to one of the curtains and opened it. My jaw hit the ground, there was Sky standing there shirtless. I could help it, my eyes scanned his tan muscular body. I felt my mouth go dry, on his right peck was a branded symbol. I immediately looked away. Casey elbowed me, a small smile escaped her lips, her face said it all... 'nice'.

"I'm sorry...I...I'll wait outside" I stuttered. Sky grabbed me and pulled me back inside the curtain.

"Oh hey Quinn" I heard Casey say from outside

"Can I speak to you alone?" He asked, Casey must have agreed, because I heard them walking away. I turned my attention back to Sky, back to the brand. It was a flying bird, the brand was blue, how they did this, I don't know. I would guess the bird was a Bluebird.

"Did my father order for this to be done?" I asked quietly. Sky didn't answer me. Why was it blue? I lightly touched the brand, pain crossed his features.

"Please explain to me...What?...Why?...How?"

"When you ran away, I came after you without the Chief's (your fathers) permission. I was punished. They call the punishment 'the coronation'. The coronation doesn't end with being branded, that is only the first step. After they brand you, they bring in 3 people, the first is a witch doctor, how cast a spell on you so your awake for the whole process. The second is a man how takes a number of small tools that are all made out of metal, which is put in the fire. He goes back using his hot metal tools and makes all of the small details in the brand. The last person is a tattoo artist how goes over the raw skin with blue ink." He said looking at me strait in the eyes.

"Why does it still hurt?" I questioned. He smiled slightly at that.

"The witch doctor cast a spell on the brand. Her exact words were 'so you can never forget where you belong, and how did this to you'." He shook his head as if it would get rid of the memory.

"Is there anything I can do?" I asked hopefully

"Actually, your father told me that the pain would leave if you kissed me." He said a smile dancing across his lips, looked at him skeptically.

"It is a tradition to not kiss your fiancé, until your married" He explained further.

"So you're willing to break tradition?" I questioned

"You have to kiss me, not the other way around. So are you willing to break tradition?" I looked at him closely, did he really deserve to be in pain for that long? No, he didn't, and maybe just maybe if I kiss him, he will be able to move on. He will be able to be free.

"This will be my first kiss" I muttered, looking at the floor, a blush creeping across my cheeks. He took a step forward, closing the gap that had formed between us. He ran a hand over my cheek bone, then brought his hand under my chin. He lifted my chin up, so I was know looking into his eyes. His other arm wrapped around my body, closing what little distance there was between us. I closed my eye's and leaned in. I could hear the curtain open for only a moment then close. I seemed like forever, silence and anticipation filled the air. Sky pushed me away, turning towards the wall, placing his hand against the wall, the other hand rubbing his eyes. What happened? Did I do something wrong?

"You're way to gullible" He said laughing. WHAT! HE HAD TRICKED ME! HE WAS GOING TO STEAL MY FIRST KISS FROM ME! WHAT A FOOL I HAD BEEN!

"You JERK!" I said glaring him

"That was a test, and you failed!" He snapped, turning around to face me. I had a feeling that it wasn't a test, that he had fully meant to steal my first kiss, but in the spur of the moment he decided to not go though with it. I was pissed! I walked up to him and tried to punch him with my right hand. He easily caught it, a smugness written all over his face. I let out a low growl, then I attempted to punch him with my left hand.

"But don't worry, one day I will have that first kiss" he leaned in and whispered in my ear. I used my legs, and kneed him in the gut, causing him to release me.

"In your dreams! And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PUT YOUR SHIRT ON!" I said while storming out, Sky fallowed a couple of minutes later after me, finally wearing a shirt(which was had a couple of buttons at the top, that had been left open) and a jacket.

"Hey where are you going? Do I need to remind you of our deal?" He yelled. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to face him.

"Oh thats reminds me. There needs to be some more leniency to our agreement. I want to go the washroom ALONE, I want to get changed ALONE, you known ect." I said

"Fine, I will allow some leniency." Sky said letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Oh and before I forget I WANT YOU OUT OF MY ROOM!" I snapped

"No." He answered simply. I was about to start fighting with him, when I reminded myself that I should probably take the negotiations one step at a time. I mean yesterday I had no leniency at all. Out of the conner of my eye, I saw Casey walking back with Quinn, looking pale. I gave her a look asked 'are you all right', she nodded and replied though her eyes 'I'll explain later'. We all walked outside to find all the guest had left. We continued outside and got into the limousine, and barrelled down the road. The car stopped and everyone got out, and went into the house.

"I have to go to the washroom I'll be back in a bit." I said giving Casey a glance, hinting that I wanted her to come.

"I also have to go." She added getting my message. We walked together to the bathroom in silence, Sky and Quinn walking behind us the turning to go into there rooms (well technically Casey's and I's room). We reached the bathroom and went inside.

"Megen! These guys are freaking crazy!" Casey said looking around the room like they might pop out of some where.

"I know! Listen for a second, we don't have that much time. Sky gave me two choices when he was holding the brander. Number one: Be branded by him right then and never be able to escape or number two: we leave this place, but I can never leave his side. Obviously I chose number 2. TRUST ME CASEY WHEN I SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BRANDED! I think Quinn decided that Sky and I's deal also applies to you and him." I said quickly

"I see." She said nodding

"By the way what happened between you and Quinn? You looked pale, when I saw you walking back with him." I asked

"He told me that we still needed to be punished, and that he would have to discuss it with Sky. Also he said that he would win me over, even if is the last thing he does." I could feel the color drain out of my face.

"Sky tricked me into all most kissing him. He said that I was a test and that I was to gullible. Then I tried to punch him, but he is stronger then me. Then he said 'But don't worry, one day I will have that first kiss'." I said a shiver running up my spine.

"That jerk!" She exclaimed. I could help but laugh, we both had the same first reaction.

"Luckily I got us some us leniency." She let out a grateful sigh. We walked out of the bathroom, then went into our rooms. I opened my door to find Sky laying on my bed.

"I have two questions for you" I stated. He sat up looking me up and down. I continued, since he didn't say anything.

"Where you the start of The Coronation?" asked

"Yes" he said bored with the conversation.

"Ok, second, I heard the curtain open right as I went into kiss you. Who was it?" His body tensed.

"The twins" He watched me closely.

"Hikura and Kaoru" I muttered. I felt my heart drop.

"Do they know your a girl?" He ask a dangerous edge to his voice.

"Get off of my bed" I said avoiding the question. The twins didn't know, at least not yet. He reliantly moved off of my bed onto his floor bed. I flopped down onto the mattress, and eventually feel asleep.
