A Prick from the Rose

Chapter Fourteen

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and my OC's!

AN: This is going to focus on Rose! And her developing relationship.

With Kyoya

He stood in his room, buttoning up his coat. He looked in the mirror and messed with his hair.

"You look fine Kyoya." Someone spoke from behind.

He looked in the mirror and saw Mya, leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chest.

"Mya. What brings you here?"

"Oh, just checking on his royal highness." Mya walked into the room and stood next to him.

Kyoya turned towards her with an all too knowing smirk upon his lips.

"I know that's not why."

Mya smiled lightly. She reached into her pocket and brought out a small box with a piece of parchment paper tied to the top of it.

"Happy 18th Kyoya." She engulfed him in a hug.

"Thank you."

Kyoya took the box and ripped the paper from it. He held it up. It read,

Dear Kyo-chan/Kyoya/Prince Kyoya,

Happy Birthday~ You're EIGHTEEN today! Isn't it unbelievable? We are so proud of you! So as in thanks and congrats we got you a little something. We're very sure you'll like it.

-Mya, Mori, and Honey

P.S. Ooh~ Kyo-chan, make sure you come join me in the parlor later! I have something special!

Kyoya looked up at her; she was smiling as she read it with him. He looked back at the box, setting the paper down on the small table next to them, he opened it. There was a punch of rose petals inside. He looked at her confused.

"Reach into the rose petals, Kyoya."

He did as told and he felt something. It was square, yet round. He grasped it and pulled his hand out. He looked to see what it was and saw a silver ring; it was being held on a chain. He looked over to Mya, she took it from him and grabbed the square of it, and she pulled on each side. There was a click sound, she pulled it open wide and handed it back to him.

Kyoya took it and looked at it. There was a picture on each side. On the right, it was a picture of Krista and him. He smiled faintly as he saw that there were smiles plastered on both of their faces. He looked to the one on the right, he saw that it was once again him and Krista, but there was Aylin and Kaoru to the right of Krista and Mori with Honey on his shoulders stood behind them. Mya was standing happily right next to Kyoya; she had a faint smile as she leaned against him. There was only one thing he didn't like about this present, it was the fact that it was in black and white. He wished that it could be in color.

With Rose At the Party

Rose walked into the palace, her long ball gown swishing as she walked. She had her brown long shoulder length hair up in a neat bun. She was also slightly taller because of her heels (5' 07"). Rose walked in further, going to the refreshment table.

She looked for someone she knew, she spotted Kyoya in his black formal suit. He was talking to a girl with long brown hair, her chocolate brown eyes sparkled as he talked to her. Rose's eyes held confusion because that wasn't Krista. Her mouth fell open in both horror and shock as Kyoya bent down and kissed the girl on the cheek. She was so angry/shocked that she almost marched over there and slapped him across the face. But, none the less, she turned around and got herself a glass of a sparkling cider. She sighed, Poor Krista. She's been being played this whole time. But our dear Rose didn't know that Krista was dead. Well semi-dead.

Rose eventually went outside; it was getting way too crowded inside. She breathed in the cool night air. She looked around, only to see that she was the only one outside. Or so she thought. She started walking and very quickly noticed that she wasn't alone. She had spotted Honey and Mori a few feet away having a tea party by themselves. She approached the two, trying her best to smile. That one night was still fresh in her mind.

"What are you two up to?" she asked.

They both jumped, startled, at the new familiar voice.

"Hiya Rose-chan!" Honey waved, merrily, while a huge smile was plastered on his face. "We're having a tea party! You wanna join us?"

"I don't know…"

"Aw! Come on, please! It's so boring with just the two of us! Pretty please will you join us?"

Rose tried to say no. But what came out was the exact opposite. "Oh course, Honey."

"Yay!" Honey grabbed her arm and pulled her down in between himself and his silent cousin.

"Hi, Mori." She said, he replied with a nod.

"What do you want in your tea? We have milk, sugar, and even cream!" Honey asked, as he poured random amounts of milk, cream, and sugar into the half filled tea cup.

He handed it to her when he was done. Rose and Mori were both sweat dropping.

"Thank you." She took a sip of the tea concoction. She cringed mentally, way too sweet for her taste. But she'd drink it anyways.

"Do you want a piece of cake? Or maybe a cupcake? Oh, we have cookies too!" Honey pointed to each as he named them.

"I'll just have a cookie…"

"Do you want chocolate chip, peanut butter, sugar, peanut butter sugar, cinnamon and sugar, sprinkled, frosted, frosted AND sprinkled, chocolate chocolate chip, chocolate fudge, or uh….um…!"

Rose put a hand on Honey's shoulder, as his head whipped around, looking for any other kinds of cookies.

"Honey, I'll just have a frosted cookie."

"Okay! Chocolate or vanilla frosting?"

"Chocolate, please."

"Cream cheese, fudge, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, sweetened, or maybe plain?"

"Milk chocolate will be fine."

"Okay!" Honey finally went to grab a cookie, when another thought came to mind. "Chocolate or plain?"

"What?" Rose asked.

"The cookie bread." Mori stated.

"Oh, plain is fine."

Honey grabbed the cookie and handed it to her. She smiled and ate the cookie.

"Rose-chan, I think we should meet your parents!" Honey suddenly declared.

Rose choked and coughed, sipping her tea to stop the terrible coughing. "What?"

"We should meet your parents! I wanna know if they'll like us!"

"Um…Well, I'd have to ask."

"Okay! Then come back and let us know what they said."

"Will do." Not like I have a choice.

So Rose ran home and asked her mom. Which, of course, she said yes. Rose then ran back to the palace.

"What'd they say?" Honey asked bouncing up and down.

"Okay. But don't you guys have to stay here and guard Kyoya and his new wife." She said the last part with so much hatred that it sent shivers down the boys' spines.

"No. Mya-chan and Haru-chan's guards are here. They'll be fine."

"Haru-chan? Haru? That's his wife's name?"

"It's Haruhi. Mitsukuni just calls her 'Haru-chan'."

"Oh. Wait, I thought he and Krista were getting married?"

"She got killed by Tayler."

"Who's running Blue Rose then?"

"Aylin-chan."

"Is anyone helping her?"

"Kao-chan is. He promised her that he'd help her the entire time."

"Aww! How sweet!"

And then they finished their walk in silence.

"Oh! Is that your house?"

"Yeah."

"It's so pretty!"

"You should tell my mom that, not me."

Honey giggled/laughed. Mori smiled. Then the three entered the house.

"Mom! I'm back!" she yelled. She turned to the two men behind her, "Stay here. I'm going to go change out of this dress."

The two nodded and sat down.

A few minutes later, suddenly a tall man with short brown hair walked in. He was wearing a three piece business suit. He set his things down and looked around the living room.

"Who the hell are you?" he exclaimed.

Honey and Mori both looked over to him. Honey waved happily.

"Hello, sir!"

"Rose Fells get out here right this instant!"

Rose rushed out of her room, clad in just a robe. The man's eyes literally popped out of his head.

"Dad? What are you doing here and why were you yelling?" Rose questioned.

Mori and Honey both blushed and looked away.

"What in the world are you wearing, young lady?"

Rose looked down, her eyes widened and she slowly started turning red in the process.

"Well, I was getting dressed when you called out here. So I just threw on my robe and came out."

"What, exactly, were you doing with these two men while there were no adults in the house?"

"N-Nothing! Oh geez, dad! We just got here!"

"Where is your mother? Does she know that they're in our house?"

"I don't know! I asked if I could have some friends over because they wanted to meet you guys!"

"Well, they are off to a terrible start." He glared at the two men.

They were staying completely out of the conversation.

Just then Rose's mom walked in. From her point of view she saw her daughter in a bath robe with a red face, her husband angrily glaring at two men, and then a tall man and a small adorable child.

"What's going on?" she asked, slowly.

"I found her like that and these two men in our house." Her dad said.

Rose groaned. "It's not like that! We just got here and I didn't know that mom wasn't home!"

"Please, sir! It really isn't like that! So don't yell at Rose-chan!" Honey exclaimed, his eyes teary.

"You be quiet." Her dad sighed. "It looked like you were doing something that I wouldn't approve of."

"DAD!" Rose snapped, turning an even deeper shade of red, if that was even possible.
