Thank you haley96, for reviewing!
Koharu woke up with a start. She looked around to see that she was laying on a couch in the middle of a living room.
"You're awake," someone said and Koharu quickly turned to see a man with blonde hair staring kindly down at her. "I'm Doctor Carlisle Cullen. Edward and Alice's adoptive father. It is a pleasure to meet you Koharu."
"A-And you sir," Koharu said weakly. She cleared her throat and sat up some more. Carlisle walked over to her and grabbed her wrist. Koharu shrank away from his touch.
"He won't hurt you," Koharu heard someone say. She turned to see Edward standing in the doorway with Bella at his arm.
"B-Bella-chan!" Koharu cried out in shock. "Are you a v-vam-?"
Koharu couldn't finish her question. Instead she looked down at her skirt.
"No, I'm human," Bella said as she walked over to the other girl. Bella was slightly nervous to talk to the host, but Edward had told her that Koharu would only believe them if she convenced her.
"B-But you're dating Edward-kun?" Koharu mumbled, confusion clear in her voice.
"I know," Bella said as she sat down on the ground in front of the girl. "I'm human, but I'm in love with a vampire. It was stretch when I found out too."
"So th-they really do exist?" Koharu asked, looking around at the two vampires in the room. Edward nodded slowly. "A-And Seth i-is a wolf?"
"I am," Koharu turned quickly to see Seth sitting against the back of the couch. His head was down so Koharu couldn't see his face. Koharu sighed quietly. Carlisle took this chance to take Koharu's pulse.
"H-How many more vampires are there?" Koharu asked as she watched Carlisle take her pulse with skilled ease.
"Look up," Carlisle chuckled softly. Koharu followed his orders to see a room full of people. Koharu squeaked in shock at all of the people suddenly in the room. Koharu quickly counted six new people in the room.
"Are you okay, Koharu?" Alice asked as she held the hand of a tall blonde boy.
"I'm fine, Alice-hime," Koharu said, flashing her host smile at the girl. "Just extremely shocked."
"It's a lot to get used to," a kind looking woman said as she stepped forward. She had a heart shaped face with light brunette hair flowing around it. "I'm Esme Cullen, by the way. I guess you can say that I am everyone's mother."
"I see," Koharu said quietly, a look flashing across her face before she smiled up at the woman.
"Why are you sad about her being a mother?" the blonde that was attached to Alice asked Koharu suddenly. Koharu stared at him in shock.
"This is Jasper, he can feel and control people's emotions," Alice quickly introduced her boyfriend. "So don't try to bother and hide your emotions from us. As soon as he knows, Edward and I do too."
"Wh-Why?" Koharu asked her, curious about them now that the initial shock had worn off.
"I can read minds and Alice can see the future," Edward explained, a small smile playing at his lips. "But you have yet to answer Jasper's question."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Koharu gasped, her host training kicking in at the mention of her being slightly rude. "I-I lost my mother when I was young."
Koharu looked down at her lap once more at the thought of her mother. She suddenly felt two cold arms wrap around her.
"You poor dear," Esme whispered into her ear as she hugged the young girl. Koharu flinched at the woman's touch, but turned her head and rested her face on the woman's shoulder.
"You were really close to her?" Edward asked, reading her thoughts as she allowed Esme to comfort her. Koharu nodded into Esme's shoulder. Koharu leaned back and they could see tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry," Koharu sniffed softly. "My mother was a wonderful woman and shouldn't have died."
"How did she die, if I can ask?" Carlisle asked softly. Koharu looked at him and smiled softly.
"She was giving birth to my younger brother," Koharu told them softly, knowing that Edward would know anyway. "Both of them died during birth. I was only eight."
"I'm so sorry, dear," Esme whispered gently. Koharu shook her head and then looked up at them with a smile.
"It's fine, it was ten years ago," she said. Everyone glanced back at Jasper who gave a minute shake of his head at her words. "I don't want to seem rude by switching topics like this, but will you please explain to me why you are telling me all of this about you?"
"Seth," Edward motioned to the boy still sitting behind the couch. "Has imprinted on you. Imprinting is when a wolf has met his er. . . soulmate, if you will, and then his life is devoted strictly to her and her safety and happiness."
"Is that why you were so upset when you found out that I was dating Kyouya?" Koharu asked as she looked over the couch to see him. Seth looked up at her and she could see that a tear was rolling down his cheek. Koharu's eyes went wide with shock at the sight of the boy and she frowned at him. "It really hurt you, didn't it?"
"Yeah," Seth said as he turned away from her. Koharu pursed her lips slightly and she stood.
"Well, if you won't be explaining anything to me, then I should be getting back to my hotel and start my homework," she said as she turned to Edward, Bella, and Alice. "Will one of you be willing to give me a ride?"
Edward nodded and Koharu turned on her heel to go outside.
"H-Hold on!" she heard Seth call out to her and she turned, trying to hide the smirk that wanted to show on her face. Seth was now standing over the couch with a desperate look on his face. "I will explain everything to you, just don't leave yet. Ask anything, anything at all, I will tell you the answer right away."
By the time Seth had finished begging her to stay, he was only a few feet from her and she was biting her lip so she wouldn't smirk. American boys were surprisingly easy to get to listen, she just had to turn her host training into a more fitting role. Koharu heard Edward chuckle and turned to him with a raised eyebrow. All he did was tap his forehead with a knowing look. Koharu started in realization that he had heard her thoughts and her smirk came through as she laughed. Seth looked between Edward and Koharu in wonder. Edward looked at his family breifly, before leaning down and helping Bella to her feet. He was chuckling as he led his girlfriend out of the room. A beautiful blonde woman and a bulky brunette man were the next to leave as they headed up the stairs. Carlisle and Esme went through the doorway Edward had been leaning on and went to the kitchen. With one last look towards Koharu and Seth, Alice and Jasper left to go upstairs.
"So, Seth," Koharu said softly. Seth immediately turned his attention on the petite girl next to him. "Tell me about yourself."
It was far from a command, but Seth took it as such. He began to tell her about his family, his mother and sister, the pack, his friends, his school, everything about him. By the time he was finished, it was well past the time Koharu had promised to be back at the hotel. She hadn't realized the time though, until she began to yawn.
"What time is it?" she asked as she tried to stiffle the yawn. Seth looked towards the glass wall and then back at her.
"Around ten, I think," he informed her with a smile. Koharu's eyes went wide as she bolted up from the couch. "What's wrong?"
"I have to get back to the hotel," she said quickly. Edward appeared at the bottom of the stairs as she turned to go find him.
"Why?" Seth asked as he also stood, much more reluctantly than she had.
"Apparently her boyfriend has sent out a search party for her," Edward told him as Koharu looked towards the door with worry clear in her blue eyes. Seth looked confused as he stared at her. "At least that is what she believes."
"Kyouya gets very protective and I had promised that I would be back at the hotel before dinner," Koharu explained quickly. She turned back to Seth with worry seeming to seep off of her. "Dinner was served three hours ago. By now, his police force is probably on their way here."
"I would like to see them try to take you," Seth growled as he stepped towards her protectively.
"No, no, it's probably best if I call him to tell him I'm on my way," she said as she patted her apron pocket. She dug into the pocket and froze. "I-I forgot my phone in my bag."
Edward sighed as he stepped forward and handed her his own cell phone. Koharu gave him a quick bob of her head in thanks and flipped open the small phone. SHhe dialed quickly the number that she had memorized long ago.
"Moshi moshi," she heard Kyouya's voice come across the small speakers. His voice was a slightly higher pitch than normal, which, to Koharu, was a sure sign that he was worried about her.
"K-Kyouya?" she whispered quietly. There was a slight paused as she heard his breathing cut for a second.
"Koharu, where are you?" he asked quickly. Koharu was able to hear someone talking in the background.
"I'm fine," Koharu answered his unasked question. "I'm actually at Edward-kun's and Alice-hime's house."
Edward showed her a set of keys in his hands and motioned for her to head outside.
"I'm actually on my way to the hotel now," she told him with a nod to Edward.
"Who is bringing you here?" Kyouya asked, his voice just shy of a growl at the thought of Seth bringing her home. "And why are you at the Cullens' home?"
"Ah, that boy is actually a friend on theirs," Koharu explained as she stepped outside to see a silver Volvo waiting for her with the passenger door open. "Edward-kun is bringing me back."
Koharu could hear Kyouya sigh on the other side of the line. Koharu slid into the Volvo and smiled gratefully at Edward, who immediately pulled out of the driveway at a fast speed.
"Just get here," Kyouya whispered slowly. "I love you."
"I love you too," Koharu whispered back before the two hung up. Edward chuckled softly as he took the phone back. Koharu looked out the window and squeaked in fear. "H-How fast are you going?"
Edward sighed, but didn't slow down. "Humans and their fear of speed. I won't let us get into a crash. Besides, I thought you wanted to get there as fast as possible?"
"I do, but I don't want to die on the way," Koharu managed to say. Edward chuckled once again as he continued at the same speed. Faster than Koharu had made it anywhere, they were parked in front of the hotel the Host Club was staying at.
"Seth wants to come see the Host Club again tomorrow," Edward told her as she got out. "I'll have Alice go with him so nothing happens."
"Thank you," Koharu smiled at him. "It was a pleasure to meet your family."
Edward smiled and pulled away from the curb. Koharu went inside to find Kyouya waiting in the lobby for her. Kyouya nearly ran up to her and pulled her into a hug.
"I was worried," he whispered in her ear. Koharu smiled innocently up at him as if to apologize. Kyouya sighed and pulled her into a quick kiss.
"What was that for?" Koharu asked when they pulled away. Kyouya smirked down at her before guiding her to the elevators.
"To remind you who your boyfriend is," Kyouya said as they stepped into the waiting elevator. Koharu smiled at him and the two met up with their friends outside of their rooms.
Yay! Done with that chapter! I personally find a worried Kyouya, a sexy Kyouya, am I the only one? I might be becoming an otaku at this rate. . . Anyone have any ideas for the next theme? Anyone? I'll give you major kudos for it!
