Alex Conners: 5'0, Virgo. Positive traits of Virgos: brave, sincere, dynamic, freedom loving, spontaneous, adventurous, takes initiatives, inspiring, and child-like enthusiasm. Negative traits of Virgos: rushing into things, ego, demanding everything immediately, and reacting. Theme song? Probably So in Love with Two, by Mikaila. I don't own any anime or their chacraters. I only own Alex and I deeply apologize for all the Black Butler refrences.

January 19

"Welcome to our joyful house!" Tamaki declared, smiling happily as he held up a bento box. "I'm the pillar of the family, the Father, Tamaki!"

Haruhi lifted up her cooking ladle, saying with a bored face, "I'm in charge of cooking, the Eldest daughter, Haruhi!" Alex popped up with a grin,

"I'm the youngest daughter, Alex, and I help Mommy out with her job!"

Hikaru and Kaoru grinned, raising their hands in the air, "We're the eldest sons and we're in charge of being noisy!"

Mori had an emotionless face as Mitskuni shouted happily, "We're the neighbors!"

Kyoya appeared with a smile on his face, holding up housekeeping book, "And I'm the Mother, Kyoya, and I'm in charge of family finance!"

"We're poor," The Host Club, minus Kyoya and Alex who were lounging on a couch, said.

"But happy!" Said Kyoya and Alex.

...Okay, time for the real chapter...

February 12, courtyard, 3:12 P.M.

Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki, and Kyoya all wore waiter-like uniforms, while Haruhi, Mitskuni, Mori, and Alex all wore kimonos...Alex's being the only "Girly" one. She wore a light purple kimono that faded to pink at the sleeves and hems, a dark green line that also faded to a lighter green streaking the kimono. She had a red obiage and a brown obi. The obijime was a golden brown to match her eyes, along with the obidome. Her dark brown hair was also "Done-up" in a rather traditional hair style. Up in a bun, with chopsticks, and a little "Crown" stuck in the bun to give off an idea of her being "Royalty" or something of the sort.

Daichi smiled charmingly at Alex, almost to the point of having roses blooming around him, as he complimented with shining eyes, "You look amazing Alex, almost like you actually are royalty." Alex sweatdropped, finding that compliment a bit over-exaggerated, and said,

"Um, thanks, but I don't really think so..." Nagihiko spoke up, narrowing his eyes in determination as he tried to convince the poor girl,

"No, really! You look wonderful!" He quickly came up with a metaphor, making hand gestures as he did so, "Like a butterfly just hatching out of its cocoon, showing her true beauty to the world!"

Alex's sweatdrop grew more prominent as she gained stress lines, These guys are a regular "Tamaki"...I worry for the future of mankind. One Tamaki was enough, but two? Alex looked around, seeing how everyone else was doing, and blinked when she caught sight of one of the girl's complaining on how "Overwhelming" the Hitachiins' act was. She shook her head, grinning, "Thanks..."

"Oh, it's no problem!" Daichi replied smiling, nodding his head. "It's only the truth."

"Even with this beauty mark?" Alex gestured to the scar on her chin that stretched to her ear, "Any beauty I had was swept away long ago. But thanks, anyway. I appreciate it." Though I don't believe it.

"You are absolutely right, mademoiselle," Alex paused when she heard Kyoya speak and before she could even think about it, she found herself staring at him as he stood among the cherry blossom trees, looking ridiculously handsome in that "Waiter" outfit, "all beauty is fleeting," She blinked when she saw him looking her and felt her face heat up in embarrassment. She turned her head quickly and started to stir the tea in her cup, "Just look at these cherry blossoms. You'll never see them this vibrant again."

Okay, calm down. Alex told herself mentally, confused on why she was acting so flustered at being caught. Her mind grew distractedly rather quickly as she wondered, How long has it been since I joined the club? Three, four months? She shrugged to herself, listening to Nagihiko rattling on and on about how beautiful butterflies were, especially after they just hatched. He had some weird hobbies.

"Alex, can you come over here for a second?" She blinked at Kyoya's voice and looked around, pointing at herself. The dark haired boy nodded and Alex stood, attempting to bow elegantly to her guests',

"Excuse me, gentlemen, I have something to tend to." Ugh, old-fashion talk. She thought as she moved her way over to Kyoya. It was hard walking in the kimono, as it restricted some movement, so she couldn't even run without tripping. Which, of course, was exactly what she did. She screamed as she started to fall towards the ground, her face preparing to kiss the grass, only to find herself pressed against something soft and familiar. She felt arms wrap around her waist and pull her close. "Sorry-!" She apologized, attempting to regain her balance, only to find herself tripping in the unfamiliar sandles again. "Gah!" She gasped and grumbled unintelligibly to herself as she pressed her hands against Kyoya's chest, lifting her head to look at him, "Sorry. Kimono restricts my movement. And the sandles just don't like me." He released her and placed his hands on her shoulder, helping to gain her balance.

"I'm beginning to think that you just like it when I catch you."

"I do not!" She argued, glaring at him. She hesitated at the smirk though. Wait, I did not just become speechless because he smirked!? "I do-I do not like it-I mean, I like the fact that you stop me from face-planting into the ground and stuff, but I don't like it like that-ah," She started to confuse herself. "Grah! You get the point!" She huffed, crossing her arms.

"Hey, Alex!" The girl barely had time to blink before Kaoru had grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him, his other arm snaking it's way around her waist and resting a hand on her stomach, her back pressed to his chest as he held up a piece of paper, ""So, Alex, have you decided your elective courses for this coming turn?" She blinked in confusion and surprise, Isn't he supposed to be asking Haruhi this question?

Alex turned her head to look at the short haired brunette, only to see her in a headlock by Hikaru, drawing out an enraged Tamaki. She sweatdropped and turned back to Kaoru, slightly uncomfortable by the new position, "Um, I was think Art...Maybe Honors English."

Kaoru grinned at her, "How about conversation French?" He suggested, looking at the paper. Alex struggled to be released, but Kaoru had a firm grip on her.

Haruhi let out a yelp as Hikaru dragged her over, stopping when he was right next his brother, "I think the four of us should take it together, after all..."

Hikaru turned his head to smirk at Tamaki, while Kaoru grinned at Kyoya, who standing only a few feet away from him, "We are in the same class."

Alex sweatdropped at their actions, staring at them with raised eyebrows, "Are you guys trying to piss Tamaki off?"

They shrugged, grinning at her, "Tamaki-Sempai isn't the only one."

"Yeah, we're trying to aggravate Kyoya-Sempai, too." Alex groaned, attempting a face-palm.

"You guys are idiots..." She turned to look at Kaoru, growing uncomfortable at the lack of space between their faces, and leaned backwards slightly, " And I told you, there's nothing between us! Get that through your thick skulls!"

Kaoru lifted his head up and blinked at her, saying wisely,

"You don't have to be with someone to like someone. Like we told Renge, there are multiple reasons to fall in love with someone." Alex opened her mouth to ask what reasons he was talking about, but he changed the subject, "Now, about those courses...Have you thought about Honors English?"

"I had Honors English back in Middle School, once. I was about to be placed in it again, but because I was in band and all the band and choir kids shared classes, they just stuck me in regular old English." He blinked at her, not really getting an answer. Alex sighed, "Sure...Might as well-don't know about you, but I don't want to end up in a class full of strangers." He grinned widely at that.

"So...yes?"

"Yup," Alex popped the "p". She then made dramatic hand movements, even if she was still a little bit uncomfortable with Kaoru's hand resting on her stomach and her back against his chest, saying, "And what on earth would I do if I didn't have at least one ginger in my life? Oh, the tragedy!"

"Yes, it's all so very tragic," Kaoru agreed, resisting the urge to roll his eyes at Alex's melodramatics. "What on earth would I do without at least one hyperactive female brunette in my life?" Alex grinned and lifted a hand up-albeit awkwardly- and poked him in the forehead,

"You'd be bored to death without my awesomeness there to keep you entertained!"

"Mommy..." Alex heard Tamaki speak, causing her to turn her head with a growing grin, realizing which scene this was.

"What is it now, "Daddy"?" Kyoya questioned, a small, amused, smirk forming on his face. Alex blinked when she caught his gaze-her breathe hitching slightly.

What's with that look? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morn-actually, knowing him, he probably did. Alex, figuring that was it, dropped the subjecct in her mind. Alex wiggled in Kaoru's grip again, trying to get more space between them.

"Can you let go, now?" She whined, wanting to be released. Kaoru grinned at her and he pulled her closer, clearly trying to "piss off" Kyoya. Let me go! RAWR! I will bite you-wait, I'm not saying this aloud, so what's the point? Alex felt like banging her head against a wall for her idiocy.

"Kaoru." The ginger released the poor girl instantly, sending her stumbling and falling towards the ground-if, that's a very big if, it wasn't for Kyoya catching her...again.

"Is that our thing, or something? I fall, you catch me? 'Cause that seems to be all that we do." Alex couldn't read his expression, as his glasses were covering his eyes again.

"Perhaps."

"Haruhi!" They turned their heads to look at Tamaki, who gripped Haruhi's shoulders as he shouted, "Daddy wants you to stop hanging out with those shady twins!"

Hikaru gained a tick mark as he waved his fist in the hair, "Hey, who you callin' shady!?"

"Yeah!" Kaoru, backing away from Kyoya and Alex, moved over to stand next to his brother, "Take a good look at yourself, boss!"

Alex smirked, joining in, raising an index finger, "Tsk, tsk, Tamaki. Did you only just realize how shady a character you are?" Kyoya released the girl carefully, making sure she wouldn't fall.

Tamaki recoiled, backing up with a look of horror and realization on his face, "Yes...that's it!" He quickly stood up straight and clenched a fist, a determined look on his face, "Alright, then! We can't go on hiding the fact that you're a girl from the school any longer! All Daddy wants is for you to go back to being the girl you used to be!" By this point, he had tears streaming down his face.

Alex turned to Kyoya and poked him in the arm, looking up at him. Kyoya stopped writing in his little black book and looked down at her, eyes hidden behind glasses. "I think Tamaki went off the deep end." She told him with a straight face. Kyoya blinked.

"-for you to hang around girl friends and start leading wholesome lives!" Tamaki cried. "Aleeeex! Start making Haruhi a girl nooow!" Tamaki cried, turning to the brunette and running towards her, ready to grab her and push her towards Haruhi in hopes that her "girl-ness" would rub off on her. Alex, quickly realizing what he was planning, took a few steps back and hid behind Kyoya-Who happened to be a great deal taller than her.

"Uh, no."

"Come here and make Haruhi and girly-girl!" Tamaki whined, running towards her with his arms outstretched. He had really long legs, so he was a fast runner, and with the kimono Alex was wearing, she was even slower.

"No-Kyoya! Help me!" She screamed, grabbing the hem of the kimono and under-kimono and lifting it up to her knees as she tried to run. Poor Kyoya, Tamaki and Alex were running in circles around him. Alex screamed as she tripped, the sandal strap on her left foot snapping and pulling on her ankle, causing her to reach out desperately as she tried to grab onto Kyoya's sleeve to stop herself from falling-missing and crashing with Tamaki on her back.

Pain flared throughout her foot and tears immediately started to well up in her eyes. Alex, being Alex, tried to hold back the tears, grounding her teeth together as she clenched the grass beneath her tightly. She tried to hold back a scream, because the pain in her foot, with Tamaki's weight on top her, was not helping.

Tamaki moved off of her quickly and knelt down beside her, "Alex! Are you breathing-Kyoya! Alex isn't breathing! Kyoya!" Tamaki was starting to have a panic attack when Alex tried to lift herself off the ground, flinching and breathing in sharply. "Alex!" She couldn't hold back the scream when he tackled her back onto the ground, her foot pressing harshly onto her side, "Alex, you're okay-!"

"Get off me!" Alex screamed, squeezing her eyes shut as tried to move-but stopped since that only caused more pain. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow-get off my foot! Tama-Tamaki get off!" He did so, reeling back. He looked at her with wide, worried blue eyes as he watched her prop herself up with her elbows, reaching over and placing her right hand on her bad foot.

"What happened!?" She heard Haruhi exclaim and heard multiple footsteps rushing over, so she figured it was the rest of the Host Club.

"Lexi-Chan, what happened!?"

"Boss, what did you do!?"

"It wasn't me, I swear!" Her head was pounding slightly and she could hear their voices jumble together.

"Shut up!" Alex snapped and she winced. "Sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, sorry..." She muttered repeatedly, blinking a few times to try and get rid of the tears. She inhaled deeply, "I'm fine. Go back to-go back to doing what you were doing." She swallowed and tried to stand, pressing her weight onto her right foot and nearly screaming again when she put weight onto her left foot. She bit her lip and, ignoring the searing pain in her foot, propelled herself onto her feet. Quickly leaning onto her right foot, she relaxed for the most part.

"Alex." She blinked when she heard Mori speak and looked up at him with surprise, before quickly shaking her head,

"I told you, I'm fine-" She inhaled sharply again when she shifted, little weight being pressed onto her left foot and causing more pain. Okay, not fine. Not fine-Not there. Pain isn't there. No pain. I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine- She told herself, trying to get herself to believe it, so she could convince everyone else that she was fine. "Now, what were you talking about again?"

"Alex, I'm fairly certain that if you were "Fine", you wouldn't have screamed like that when Tamaki tackled you." Haruhi told her, always the wise one. Alex frowned at that, quickly coming up with an excuse.

"It's not my fault my foot was being pressed against a rock," She said and turned her head, blinking when she locked eyes with Kyoya. "I'll-I'm going to head back to the Club room, I had enough of the Host Club today." Alex told them and whirled around, trying to hide the limp when she walked. It was harder than it sounds.

"Kyoya," She barely heard Tamaki speak. "You're the medical expert-" His voice faded away and Alex figured she was in the clear.

Should be far enough now, She thought to herself and nodded, quickly limp-running to her destination. Every time her left foot touched the ground, she inhaled sharply. She was glad that this time, she had the way memorized to the club room, unlike a few months ago.

Once she reached her destination, she quickly fiddled with the obi and obijime, and the obiage and pulled them off, before taking off the kimono. Left in nothing but the white haneri, she threw the items she took off on the nearest couch. She limped over to said couch and sat down, lifting her leg up and resting it on her thigh. She pulled off her sandal, wincing and making a few sounds of pain here and there, and did the same with her sock. She flinched, whether at the sight of it, or the pain when her foot brushed against the couch, no one knew.

"That's-That's lovely." She laughed bitterly to herself, mentally scolding herself for getting hurt again. "Makes me wonder how much trouble Akari got herself back in my dimension." Alex swallowed at that and gently poked her foot, flinching again. "Okay," Her voice went up a pitch, "not doing that again and the kimono's dirty...hopefully Kyoya won't kill me for that." She shook her head to clear her thoughts and focused back on her ankle, which seemed slightly swollen. Nothing minimal or severe, so more...moderated?

She jumped and let out a quick scream out pain when there was the loud slamming of something being set on a table. She looked up quickly, tears welling in her eyes, as she looked at Kyoya.

He was frowning. That was the first thing Alex noticed. His glasses were also covering his eyes, so, that meant he was feeling one of three things.

One) He was angry.

Two) He was secretly frightened.

Three) He was shocked.

Four) She honestly doesn't know.

She figured it was the first one, the other three seemed to unlikely. She always did seem to be on the receiving side of silent anger most days. She blinked for a moment, and after a few moments of silence, asked bluntly and innocently, "Are you a Scorpio or something?" It was totally out of place and not fitting for the situation, but it was the only thing her mind was focusing on.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Kyoya asked, opening the first aid kid and pulling out some ace-wrap. He set it down on the table that rested between the two couches and chairs and said, "Wait here, I'll go get some ice."

She blinked as she watched his retreating back. It made sense-Scorpio's were very perceptive, very tolerant of people and or things, intuitive, determined, and they also influenced others, along with a sense of competition. Their negative traits were jealousy, being possessive, indulgence in power, holding grudges, and...doubtfulness. I don't think he's even doubted himself, though...So that's one trait he doesn't have. He's really confident and I really have a bad habit of reading about Zodiac signs, don't I? Star signs, zodiac signs-blegh.

He walked back in and Alex blinked, instantly taking note of the dark aura that seemed to envelope him. He knelt down in front of her and Alex nodded her, convinced, "Yeah, you're definitely a Scorpio."

"Why are you so determined to find out if I'm a Scorpio or not?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow as he placed an ice pack on Alex's foot. She winced and watched as he grabbed the ace-wrap and started to wrap it around her ankle, gradually heading towards her toes. I have really small feet...I just noticed that. She blinked at her thoughts. "I highly doubt you're trying to see if we're compatible."

She grinned cheekily at him and said with a slight egoistical tone, "Ah, please, as if someone as awesome as myself would stoop to such stalker-like tactics!" She laughed slight and shook her head, smiling, "Nah, just have a weird habit for researching Zodiac signs and Star signs. Strange topic of mine I like to read about. You seem like a Scorpio to me. You're perceptive, extremely tolerant of Tamaki and myself, determined, and you tend to influence others." She could see one of his eyebrows raise slightly, "You're-You're also competitive, though you don't show it often and...I don't know, do you hold grudges?" She looked at him confused as he stared at her, eyes hidden again.

She continued, "I don't really think you doubt yourself, considering how cocky you are-so I ruled that trait out. Jealousy, I'm fairly certain you have, but I don't know about possessiveness..." She looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you possessive of things?"

Kyoya was silent for a few moments, wrapping the ace-wrap around her foot and placing the last few finishing touches. He still didn't say anything as he placed the left over ace-wrap and splint-stuff back in the first-aid kit. Alex removed her foot from his knee and placed it down on the ground, inhaling deeply for a moment before relaxing. Okay, not so bad...

"If I am possessive," Alex blinked in surprise when Kyoya looked at her. They locked eyes and Alex wasn't sure what transpired, but she was surprised and confused when he continued, "then that wouldn't be necessarily my fault, would it?"

Alex, not sure what to say to that, shrugged, "I guess." She then grinned, "Hey, but since I know for fact that you're a Scorpio, want to know what my Star sign is?"

Kyoya blinked at her, eyes almost widening but stopping just in time-Alex noticed though, but decided to say nothing. Kyoya said, "It would only be fair."

"I'm a Virgo-Rabbit." He almost seemed to smirk at that.

"Interesting. I happen to be an Ox."

"Scorpio-Ox...Seems to define you. You do wear a mask, after all." At that, he truly looked surprise and Alex's eyes widened. "Did I say that out loud? I meant to say, you swear like a flask! Hehehe...And you don't believe that at all, do you?" She tried to think of a way to change the subject, before saying quickly, "Do you still think I'm crazy since I told you I "Died" when Hikaru and Kaoru ran me over with their limo?"

"...You're not normal, that's for certain."

"Thank you, I try."


Next Day.

Alex grumbled all the colors of the rainbow as she fiddled with her crutches. She was used to twisting her foot and making it generally useless-it was always her left foot, for some reason. She was used to injuring and being unable to walk normally, and not using crutches and just limping to wherever she needed to go. Sometimes she hopped, sometimes she limped, sometimes she just complained or joked about it. Always tried to hide the pain though. She never used a crutch in her life.

And now she was sitting on the couch, watching as Tamaki daydreamed about Haruhi. The girl groaned and fell backwards, landing on the cushions and position herself so that her feet rested of the armrest. Her crutches were dropped against the floor, left to rot.

"He must be having a great daydream!" She heard Mitskuni exclaim. Hikaru's tone was more "Freaked out" than anything.

"He's kinda creeping me out..."

Kaoru, seeming to take on the role of the kind Big Brother, let Alex's head lay on his lap, a hand on her head. He lifted his head up and blinked as he watched Tamaki whirl around and point at Hikaru, grinning confidently.

"Envious, Hikaru? This is all part of my strategy!"

Alex muttered to herself, not really asking anyone, "Oh, and what plan would that be? To seduce Haruhi and make her your wife?" She heard Kaoru chuckle at that and she grinned.

"While you waste time, blinded by your jealousy, I foresee the outcome of this charade!" Tamaki didn't seem to hear them. "This anime's obviously a romantic school comedy!"

"What anime?" Alex questioned in surprise, attempting to sit up. She feel back down however and grunted, ignoring Kaoru's laughter.

"Okay, up we go, Alex," He said and the poor girl barely had time to blink before she was lifted up in the air. She shouted in alarm and quickly wrapped her arms around Kaoru's neck, shouting for him to put her down. "It's this or crutches, which do you prefer?" Alex relented...reluctantly, and let him carry her.

"-ruhi and I are the main characters. And that means we are love interests!"

Alex felt Kaoru place her back down on the couch and blinked in confusion when he knelt down in front of her, his back facing her. What is he doing-?

"Hurry up, I'm not planning on sitting her all day. Get on." She looked at him in surprise before grinning widely, wrapping her arms around his neck as he grabbed her legs and wrapped them around his waist, standing.

"Free piggy-back! Woo!" She cheered, smiling widely. "I haven't had one in ages! Whoa! Careful!" Kaoru, with Alex on his back, moved over to stand next to his brother. Alex looked around, finding herself at the same height as Mori and Kyoya, and grinned, "I'm as tall as you guys now! Haha!"

Mori gave her a slight amused look, "Yeah." It was hardly noticeable, but Alex was one who payed attention to detail, so she could make out all the slightest changes in expression.

Kyoya said nothing, merely looking at her from behind his glasses before resuming in his writing.

"If you and Haruhi are the main characters, then what are we?" Hikaru and Kaoru questioned, frowning.

"You people are the homosexual supporting cast." Tamaki declared, pointing at them with a cocky grin. Alex felt her eyebrow twitch.

"I don't have anything against gays or lesbians or people of that sort, but I'm straight thank you very much! Kaoru, charge! I can't punch or kick 'em from this distance!"

Kaoru shook his head at his antics and most of the Host Club male members looked at the girl amused, and made to take a step forward, but was stopped by Tamaki who made a scratch on the pink marble floor with a stick.

"Please make sure that you don't step across this line."

"Ah! He made a scratch on the marble!" Mitskuni exclaimed, surprised.

"You've got to be kidding," Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison, looking at Tamaki incredulously.

"Hey, listen, boss." Hikaru started, giving Tamaki a look.

"I don't think you get it," Kaoru continued.

"If word gets out that Haru-Chan is really a girl, then she won't be able to be in the Host Club, anymore!" Mitskuni informed.

Alex blinked, sweatdropping. Couldn't she just become a Hostess? I mean, seriously. Unless there's some rule that you can't switch roles or maybe it would be because everyone would be so freaked out, not even the guys would want to hang out with in case she really was a boy? Man, talk about timey-wimey."

"But," Mitskuni continued, oblivious to Tamaki's frozen form, "if Haru-Chan stared to wear girls' clothes, I'd bet she'd be even cuter than she is now!"

"She dressed like a regular girl when she was in middle school, right?" Hikaru questioned, looking at Kyoya for confirmation. "She must've been pretty popular with all the boys." Alex blinked and rested her chin on Kaoru's right shoulder, closing her eyes.

"Yeah," Kyoya informed them, "According to all my investigative reports, someone would declare their undying love for her at least once a month."

"Oh, I see!" Kaoru said, eyes going wide. "So the boss wouldn't even be able to get close to her."

Alex couldn't help but grin, trying to cheer herself up, and lifted her head and giving herself a "thoughtful" look, "Well, Haruhi is pretty cute...I think I might be able to swing that way, if just for her."

"NO! Alex, do not do such a thing!" Tamaki charged and Alex shouted as she fell backwards. She would've cracked her skull open if it weren't for Mori being behind her and catching her. Tamaki gripped her shoulders, shaking her back and forth, "What kind of productivity is there in a relationship with two girls!? Why do you think god created Adam and Eve-!"

"There is no god, and if I wanted to swing that way, I would!" Alex snapped, pushing Tamaki away from. She flinched as she stood, glaring at Tamaki, "There is no God, if there was a God then would he have taken me from my family!? Would he have pulled me away from everyone I knew and loved!? Would he have let me die just so Akari could live!? Damn it, there is no God and if there were, then I would be in America, switching back and forth from my parents houses every week, failing Math class, chattering and goofing off with Elena, Raphael, and Liam-I'd be anticipating my siblings visits since they're always away and in college and you know what!? I can't because I'm dead! I died when that damn limo hit me and Akari stole my life from me!" She panted, chest heaving up and down heavily. She said that all in one breathe and she was exhausted. Everyone was silent, staring at her in shock and confusion.

She swallowed and paled, tensing as she realized what she just said. "I-I gotta go, sorry." She whirled around, pushed herself past Mori and Kyoya, and limped-ran towards the doors, just as Haruhi opened them.

"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late-" She cut herself off, looking at Alex in shock. The girl, since she turned her back to the Host Club, let the silent tears fall. Alex muttered a quiet,

"Hey, Haruhi..." And brushed past her, leaving the room and heading out into the hallway.

...

Alex walked, she didn't care where, she just had to get out of there. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been! She didn't seem to be in control of herself-she just snapped. She's been holding it in for five months now, and that was five months too long. She had to let it out sometime. She just...

"I-I didn't..." Somehow, she found herself in the middle of the garden maze with the roses. She collapsed on her knees, pain tearing into her foot as it landed harshly against the ground and Alex gripped the grass tightly, squeezing her eyes shut as she cried silently to herself. "Not them! I-I didn't want it to be at them..." She whimpered, collapsing onto her side and curling into a ball as she sobbed.

What her? Why couldn't it be some other girl!? Why was it her and not some other girl!? A girl who actually wanted this life! Alex just wanted to hug her brother and sisters, to see her parents-hell, even her step-parents! She wanted to see the people who hated her, the people she made sarcastic jabs at whenever they insulted her or her friends. She wanted to see Elena and Raphael and commented on how cute they were together-She wanted to see Liam and make fun of him, she wanted to see her cousin Sally, she wanted to see everyone.

She wanted her houses back, she wanted to go to that library and talk to Ms. Hopper about books, she wanted to punch that robber in the face and scream at him, she wanted to take her manga book and slam into somebody's face, and she wanted her old life back.

People say they want their dreams to come true...but they always seem to forget that nightmares are dreams too. And Alex's did.

She got her Dream Come True, but she also got her worst Nightmare.

After a good, possibly ten minutes, while of crying, she stopped. Then she stood, stumbling as she placed all her weight on her right foot, and in a fit of anger and frustration and fear and pain, plucked a rose off of the hedge bush, and with the thorn still on the stem, clutched it as tightly as she could, blood streaming down the palm of her hand and down her wrist, trailing down her arm and staining her uniform. The pain, of course, only made her cry more, but she refused to let go.

Of course, only a few minutes later she realized what she was doing and released the rose, eyes wide with alarm and fear. Her hand burned from the wounds and she grew disgusted with all the blood that covered her. Quickly realizing that she wouldn't be able to return to the Club room looking like this, put pressure on the wounds with her other hand, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Alex," She froze at the voice and pretended she didn't hear him. Not here, he's not here. Shit, he'll kill me if he sees the blood. Who knows how many first-aid kits he used up just to patch me up?

"Hey, Kyoya! I gotta go!" She couldn't pretend for long as she heard him walking towards her, and started to limp forwards.

Kyoya's eyes caught sight of the red liquid staining the grass, and the rose...which seemed to be drowned in blood. His face hardened and a dark aura seemed to envelope him. "Alex."

"Later!" She was about to take of running, but was unable when a hand reached out and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her backwards. Alex screamed and shook, trying to push him off. "Let me go! Let me go! I didn't do anything-Let me go!"

"What did you do?" She froze and looked up at him with frightened, red eyes. He was furious. But that wasn't what scared her. No, it was his calm exterior. The look in his eyes...Alex swallowed, unable to speak. He repeated himself, slower, his aura intent to kill, "What. Did. You. Do?"

"I...I-I didn't mean-It happened and I-I couldn't-" She swallowed, flinching and crying out, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm sorry-" She squeezed her eyes shut, not sure of what she was expecting. Screaming? Possibly.

"You moron! What the hell were you thinking!? Are you trying to kill yourself!?" Alex whimpered, truly frightened. He hates me. He's tired of dealing with me-He'll stop being my friend. But Alex would never try and kill herself. She just snapped when she grabbed onto the rose thorns. She had never seen him this angry before-she never heard him shout before.

"I didn't mean too! I-I just snapped," She opened her eyes and stared at him, clearly scared. Kyoya noticed and toned down his anger a little, but still glared at her. She swallowed, "I-I didn't realize what I was doing until after I did it." She tried to get her voice strong and clear. It was failing miserably. His grip on her arm seemed to tighten and before Alex knew it, she gained a face full of blue.

Wait...what? Was Kyoya...hugging her?

"Damn it," She heard him curse quite a few times and looked up at wide eyes, only to tense when she felt him rest his chin on her head, "do you like making me worry?"

Alex swallowed, blinking a few times to make sure she was hallucinating. Did he say-? Not the reaction she was expecting. "Not-It-It wasn't intentional..." She didn't know what else she could say. "Not really?" Why the hell would he be worried about someone like her? Especially after she snapped like that in the clubroom-She tensed. Why hasn't he brought that up yet?

"You're a damn moron. Why do always go and hurt yourself?" Alex, having only one free hand, pressed it against Kyoya's chest as she leaned back to look up at him, extremely confused by how he was acting.

"I told you-it wasn't intentional! I don't like hurting myself! I hate pain, thank you very much!"

Kyoya was still gripping her blood arm and Alex's hand started to go numb-in fact, she started to feel a little lightheaded...

"Speaking of pain," She blinked a few times, swallowing, "I'm getting dizzy. Have any gauze on you?"

She heard a sigh and screamed when she was suddenly picked up, "Of course. I always have to carry some around nowadays, because someone seems to like the attention."

"I do not!" Her voice squeaked indignantly.


February 14

Physical Exam day came by rather quickly, and Alex seemed to be avoiding everyone. The Club members didn't seem to notice, but that's what Alex expected. They care only for Haruhi, not her-Well, except for Kyoya and Kaoru, apparently. Kyoya was her best friend and Kaoru was...well, a brother figure. Alex was selfish, she'll admit it. But why wouldn't she be? If I were a Homunculus, I'd totally be Greed...

Haruhi was her best girl friend here, and Kyoya was her best guy friend. The Physical Exam was eventful, of course. Apparently a man named Yabu came to Ouran High School looking for his daughter, only to get mistaken as a Doctor to examine students. After being mistaken as a pervert by a girl when he tried to ask if she knew his daughter, he ran into the Special Boys Clinic were Haruhi was stripping.

She was in a pink tanktop and pants, thankfully, so she wasn't exposed or anything, but the Host Club members were pissed.

"One," Hikaru and Kaoru began, eyes dark. They stood behind Haruhi, hands in their pockets, "Good looks that attracts the public eye."

"Two," Kyoya stepped out of the shadows, hands in his pockets as he leaned forward. He had his "Shadow King" smile on his face, "more wealth than you can imagine."

"Three," Mori spoke in his deep voice, "Chivalry that will never be able to overlook,"

"The hideous wickedness of this world." Mitskuni finished, voice dark and scary. Tamaki walked over to Haruhi and placed his shirt over her head, saying,

"That's what makes up the Ouran Host Club!"

Kyoya was silent while the rest of the Host Club, excluding Alex who pouted, said, "We're here! So watch out!"

"How come I don't get a cool line?" Alex frowned, pouting like a little kid.

"Please don't hurt me!" The man begged, bowing to the ground, "Spare me my life!"

"Dude...We're not here to kill you." Alex told him, eyeing him weirdly. "You-You have problems."

And thus it went to him explaining his life story and Tamaki getting Kyoya to go and get the poor Quack Doctor a map.

It didn't take long for Kyoya to return and give the map to the man. Yabu then headed out, the Host Club watching Yabu wave at them from the window, walking off.

"Are you sure about this?" Hikaru questioned Tamaki.

"After all," Kaoru started, "even if he does find his daughter, there's no guarantee that she'll want to speak to him."

"Well then," Tamaki began after a few moments of silence, "That's something he'll have to find out for himself." Haruhi's eyes widened. After a few moments, she spoke up,

"I'm sorry about this, you guys, but can you please leave?"

Everyone recoiled from Haruhi, shocked. Tamaki cried out, "Haruhi, are you still angry with me!? You're not thinking of quitting the Host Club, are you!?"

Haruhi laughed and looked at him, smiling, "Don't be stupid, Sempai, I just got to finish my physical exam. As a male student, of course." Tamaki looked like he was holding back tears of joy, "And let me get this straight! I'm doing this just because you're bribing me with food."

"I would!" Alex exclaimed, raising a hand in the air, waving it back and forth as she grinned.

"Unlike you Alex," Haruhi said, though she still smiled, "I'm doing it to pay back my debt." Tamaki couldn't hold back.

He tackled her in a hug, causing her to scream. "You're so cute, Haruhi! I can see right through you! I know you're just after that Fancy Tuna!"

"Cut it out, Sempai!" She screeched, "Don't touch me there!"

"Red Card!" Hikaru and Kaoru exclaimed, grinning.

"Looks like Tamaki-Sempai,"

"Is the real pervert."

"Who cares!?" Haruhi demanded, "Would you guys just get out of here!"

A.N Sorry, but I'm not a big fan of this episode. Please don't kill me-but! To make it up, I made some Bloopers!

"Damn it," She heard him curse quite a few times and looked up at him with wide eyes, only to tense when she felt him rest his chin on her head, "do you like making me worry?"

Alex swallowed, blinking a few times to make sure she was hallucinating. Did he say-? Not the reaction she was expecting. "Not-It-It wasn't inten-intentful..." She didn't know what else she could say... She and Kyoya pulled away from each other, Alex placing a hand over her mouth, face red from embarrassment. "I'm sorry! Oh, my god, I screwed that up completely, didn't I?"

Kyoya chuckled ever so slightly, shaking his head, "You really are a moron, aren't you?"

"Cut!" The Director yelled, sending Hikaru and Kaoru running onto the set to help them with the fake blood and makeup. "Take two!"

...

"Charge my faithful minion, Kaoru!" Alex shouted from her spot on Kaoru's back, pointing at Tamaki. "We shall dethrone this Evil King and rule the world together, once and for all-mawahahaha!"

"What the hell, Alex?" Hikaru exclaimed, looking at Alex strangely. Alex turned to look at him and questioned with a confused look,

"What? Would you rather me sing "Lunatic" instead?" She took a deep breathe and started, "Hatred seeping out of every pore, for you. Your fire has made my life a burning hell! Though I have no single drop of royal blood, I know I've been defiled! While you torture me for your ecstasy-"

She was shut up by Tamaki running over and clamping a hand over her mouth, exclaiming, "No daughter of mine shall be singing about such malevolence!" Her voice was muffled.

...

"My life was ruined because of God and that was the wrong line, wasn't it?" The Director nodded and Alex groaned, face-palming. "I fail so miserably."

Haruhi walked over and patted the poor girl on the back, "There, there. Just think, you get mess with the twins' next chapter?" Alex brightened at that fact,

"Oh, yeah! We're supposed to be having a fight, aren't we?"
