For the next day, and the day after that, Kairi seemed to be of a similar fowl mood. And then throughout the week, and into the next one. She refused to talk unless she had to, and she didn't come to the Host Club. Tamaki told the twins, that this Thursday, they needed to improve her mood, and so that morning, as she sat in class, typing away as usual on her laptop, they flanked her.

"Kairichika?" They asked. She looked up to them. That was an improvement, it wasn't a withering glare.

They proceeded to talk to her, not about anything in particular, mainly about clothing their mother designed, and she continued type. Though it was clear, as she often hesitated in her typing, she was listening.

The next day followed a similar pattern, and then the weekend came. When Monday returned, Kairi once again seemed a little withdrawn, but she actually replied a few times to the twins, that weren't insults. At lunch that Thursday they even managed to drag her to have lunch with the rest of the Host Club. That afternoon, after Kairi had left for home, after the Host Club had closed, Kyouya gathered the others.

"I managed to dig up some things on her. Most of it I will not share with you, but what I did manage to get is that last weekend she got a set of plane tickets that would take her to America, and to where her family lives. She also recently paid for several doctors' fees and a recent trip to a lawyer. I have no idea why, for any of those things. She is not fond of her family. She was also offered a scholarship here, which she refused, and it was then offered to you Haruhi, and her father then paid for her tuition here."

"That explains why she is in class A," Hikaru said. The others nodded. Haruhi grinned.

"I can't say I'm not grateful, " Haruhi said. "But it sounds like she didn't want to come."

"I don't think she did," Tamaki said, in one of his rare moments of wisdom.

"Well, I do believe we should make it our duty to cheer her up!" Tamaki said, his eyes sparkling in that way they did when he had a foolish idea. Kyouya sighed. "Kyouya, get her address. We shall pay her a visit this weekend!"

"We can't." Kyouya said simply. "She's going to America again. She reserved tickets last night." Tamaki immediately went and sulked in his corner, distracting himself by cultivating some mushrooms.
