Great story
-x-
Last time on To See the World…
"I don't understand this…" Tatsuya said, "I just don't understand. Why is my sister so in love with you?"
"Excuse me?"
-x-
"You know… that person that you look at with such disdain… that's my sister- Aiko."
"So you are her brother."
"Yes," he staggered and looked around, "but not anymore. And that's not the point."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm saying is that it's your entire fault."
"Entire fault…" he muttered, "please elaborate."
"Let me simplify this for you- you saw my sister unconscious and all bloodied up. Do you want to know why? She went in there… and… and…" He stopped speaking.
"Cat got your tongue?"
"No! That's not the point."
"Well, I have things to attend to and you're just a waste of my time."
"And is that what everyone is to you? Everyone is 'just a waste of my time?'"
"Well, your constant babbling is."
"Then what about Suoh Tamaki?"
"What about Tamaki? How do you know about him?"
"Well, he's probably just a friend with 'benefits.' Am I right?"
"Perhaps. But I don't expect you to read people's minds."
A distant voice whispered out, "Tatsuya?"
"I'll be right there. I'm taking care of some business."
"Ok…"
"Just go back to sleep Aiko- I'll be there in a minute."
"Hm… I hear voices nii-san."
Kyoya looked up and saw two girls walking down the staircases.
"Hi! My name is Itsuko and this is my sister Fuyuko and we're-"
"Aiko's older sisters." Kyoya finished.
"Yeah!" Itsuko put a hand on his shoulder, "we are! You're so smart…"
"Thank you. I aim to please."
"Itsuko. Please stop." Tatsuya said.
"Oh shut up! You and Aiko always ruin the fun; being so serious and everything. Who are you to even call me out! You're not even part of the family! So go and crawl back to that tiny shack you call your home."
"It's not a shack." Someone added.
Kyoya looked up to where the voice was and saw Aiko standing there next to Tatsuya.
"What are you doing up," Tatsuya said in a soft voice, "Go back to bed and get some rest."
"You took too long. I had to go and see what the commotion was that was disrupting my sleep. Plus with Itsuko here, there can never be any peace and quiet."
Kyoya looked at the mini family battle that was going on and then looked at Aiko.
Aiko had bruises on her arms and a red mark on her cheek. There seemed to be a scrape on her right arm (Kyoya was very attentive apparently), and she had a very dissatisfying expression on her face.
"Could you people please stop," Fuyuko said, "After all, we do have a guest here."
Aiko glanced over and saw Kyoya and stared at him.
"Tatsuya," she tugged on the bottom of his shirt, "What's he doing here?"
"Well..." He said, but couldn't finish the sentence.
"I was just on my way out," Kyoya finished for him, "Good day Tatsuya-san, Itsuko-san and Fuyuko-san."
He opened the front door and left.
Itsuko ran out of the front door and started waving her hand frantically screaming, "Good bye Kyoya-kun!"
Aiko walked down the stairs and into the living room where there was a giant window; she saw a black car go down the long driveway- her eyes trailed, following the black car until she could no longer see it.
"Goodbye Ootori-san," she whispered, "I'm sorry."
In this entire family-crazed house, why did she have to pull Ootori Kyoya into it as well?
-x-
The next day at school was completely different.
Aiko ended up putting on makeup to cover up the bruises. No matter how much she wished for them to be gone, she looked around and still saw them there. Unfortunately, she didn't have the gene from her mother to heal quickly and recover, so she ended up having to deal with the pain.
As she entered in the car, she saw her two sisters who went to Lobelia leave in a separate car, Shizuo in another, and Tatsuya walking to school. He had to withdraw from the school and go to another distant school with a different name. Everyday he had to walk to town and catch the bus.
Tatsuya looked at her and Aiko waved. Tatsuya waved back and stared forward in the direction that he was going.
"Aiko-san, are you ready to leave?"
She nodded, and the driver shut her car door.
On the way to school, she picked up her book and started reading. As the car stopped on the red light, she noticed that she forgot to re-bandage her scrape again.
"It should be ok," she muttered, "I'll fix it later."
A few minutes later, the car approached the school and Aiko opened the door and went quickly into the building, avoiding contact and socializing with anyone.
'It's not like I have any friends anyway…why should I even bother?'
She walked into the school doors and went straight into her classroom.
She saw Kyoya sitting alone, typing on his laptop. Aiko looked at him and at his facial expression. Kyoya always either had a smirk or a serious face. His eyes never portrayed any emotion at all, and if he could, refrain from speaking unless he was spoken to. She never quite understood people like him, but she could understand and empathize.
"Aiko-san?" Kyoya said, not looking up from his computer, "How are you?"
Her eyes widened; she immediately regained her composure and answered, "Fine, how are you?"
"Well, I wouldn't even be going to school with that episode you had yesterday."
"Excuse me?"
"Don't lie," Kyoya said, "I know what happened, so you don't have to cover up just for me."
"Just for you? You make it seem like you are an exception."
"But yes I am aren't I? I thought that what your brother implied."
"My brother didn't imply anything," Aiko retorted, "Shizuo is too stupid to even know what's going on with other people."
"I didn't mean Shizuo. I didn't even see him the other day."
"Then who?"
"Tatsuya. It looks like he really does care for you…"
"Well… he was my brother wasn't he?"
"Keyword 'was.'"
"What's your point?"
"I'm just saying that…" He stood up and went to Aiko, touching her shoulder, "Perhaps Tatsuya isn't-"
"Stop- just stop. Don't even bother, no one even asked you for your opinion."
She retreated out of the room until Kyoya said, "And that's why he told me that you love me."
She stopped and turned around. "He did what?"
"He said that you were in love with me."
She chuckled, "Why would I be in love with you?"
"That's a question that you shouldn't be asking me."
"Well… Don't listen to him. It's not true." She turned so her back was facing Kyoya, making sure that he didn't see her face, "Just leave me alone and get out of my life."
She walked away and ran down the hall.
'God, how could I be so immature?'
Kyoya walked back to his laptop and continued his work.

"Kazuhiko! You have to focus!"
She looked towards the conductor of the orchestra and nodded.
"Everyone, start again from page four measure fifty six!"
The music started up again until the doors opened. Out came seven people who started walking in.
"My fellow schoolmates!" Tamaki shouted, "May we use your musical talents for our Host Club Ball?"
All the girls in the orchestra (except for Aiko and Rika) dropped their instruments and ran towards the Host Club.
And all of a sudden, all the beautiful music that was played became filled with screams of "Tamaki-sama!" and "We love the Host Club!"
Rika walked up to Mori and Hani and bowed. She then walked over to Tamaki and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Oh yes!" Tamaki finally remembered, "We would like to ask the orchestra to perform music for the Host Club Ball!"
Rika looked around and saw all the girls' pleading stares and finally said, "When is it?"
Everyone cheered, except for Aiko who was still on the stage and for some guys who packed up their instruments and left.
A hand touched her shoulder and Aiko jumped up out of her seat. She turned around and saw Kyoya looking at her with a funny grin.
"I never knew that you could get agitated like that."
"Well, you don't know much about me."
"True… and that's why I wanted to ask you something."
"And what would that be?"
"Prove that you don't love me."
"And how can I do that?"
"Come to my family's party for our new medical wing opening as my date."
"What does that prove?"
"If you say yes, then you like me, if not, then well…" he whispered in her ear, "You'll be missing out on a lot."
Aiko's face turned a little pink from what he said, but ignored it and retorted, "What will I be missing out on? You'll probably invite Itsuko or something."
Kyoya whispered again, "Maybe I will… are you jealous?"
"No, not at all."
"Well then," he said in a normal voice, "judging by your face and your expression, you must be pretty upset."
"No!" She shook her head furiously, "I am not."
"Well then," he touched a lock of her hair, "you will be my date."
She looked at his face and then looked down at the ground, with an upset grin on her face.
'What is going on?'

Sorry for the LONG update. With Chinese New Year and school and everything- it makes me want to explode. (Just kidding- then who would actually finish this story?)
And alas, I have no beta editor person- so this is NOT edited… not yet anyways.
Please review, I would like to know your opinions on things (like if it's good or if it sucks so bad that no one would read it- I personally like the first answer), but thanks for staying strong with my story and the more reviews means more love. ^^
