Hi readers, thanks for coming back to read my next chapter! I don't have a lot of time because we just got into our new house and everything is chaotic over here so I just want to thank all who favorited and, or followed my story and all readers who are reading this, thanks!

"We're having a masquerade ball? Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?" I asked angry and annoyed as I tapped my foot impatiently against the floor.

"Really?" Tadashi asked surprised, "We talked about it at the last meeting."

"You forget, Tadashi but remember that Reiko slept through the meeting," Chizura said with a chuckle.

Adding with a sly grin, Yoite said, "Yeah, she slept the entire time while dreaming about Mori."

"Shut up you dunderheaded twins!" I hissed while hitting them both on the head.

"Now,now, Reiko, calm down, they're just teasing." Tadashi said as he grabbed both my arms. "But who would have thought that you would have confessed to Mori yourself," Tadashi said with a sly smirk.

"Leave me alone!" I said with a red face as I pried my arm from Tadashi's grasp. "Come on, the train's here," I said as I grabbed Aika's hand and led her onto the metro.

"Hey Rieko, is it true that you're gonna marry Mori?" Aika asked.

"What!?" I said shocked. "We're only dating right now! Who told you that?"

"Chizura and Yoite," Aika said, tilting her head in confusion. "What's the difference between dating and marrying?"

"A lot."

"Like what?"

"Grown-up stuff." I said blushing.

"Like kissing!" Sotaru said with a goofy grin. "Hey, does Mori kiss you like this?" Sotaru asked as he jumped on me and tried to kiss me.

"No he doesn't, now get off!" I said angrily, pushing Sotaru off me.

"Hey guys, you're making a scene," the twins said nonchalantly. I looked up and blushed when I realized that everyone in the car was staring at us, a few of them were even laughing.

Immediately, we all quieted down and traveled in relative silence till we reached Ouran.

"I'm hungry," Sotaru complained.

"Me too," Aika added.

"But we just had dinner before we left," Chizura said annoyed.

"Yeah, but we're hungry again!" The little ones whined.

"There will be food at the ball so just be patient," Tadashi said.

"Kay!" They answered.

"We're here," I said as I opened the doors to the club room and led everyone inside.

"The Nakahara siblings are here, Kyoya!" The Hitachiin twins called as we entered.

They both had on dark dress pants and white dress shirts. Hikaru had on a vest with the right panel being black and orange checked while the left panel was solid black. Kaoru's vest was dark green and black checked on the left and solid black on the right. Hikaru was also wearing an orange ribbon around his collar and white gloves while Kaoru wore a green ribbon around his collar and white gloves. They also both had black dress shoes and intricate masks, which matched the costumes, in their hands.

"Looking sharp, Hikaru, Kaoru," Tadashi said as he went up to them.

"Obviously, we designed these," they said bluntly.

"Wow, look at the humility," Yoite said.

"Yeah, not vain in anyway," Chizura commented.

"Oh, like you two have any right to say anything," I said with a rol of my eyes.

"What does that mean?" The twins asked angrily.

"Oh, perfect timing," Kyoya said before I could retort.

He was wearing black dress pants and a smokey gray dress shirt. Over this Kyoya wore a black trench coat with a gray handkerchief, and black shoes. Finally, he had on a musketeer hat and a gray and black mask on. "Everyone, come here so I can brief you on how tonight's gonna go."

"I'm here!" Tamaki announced dramatically as he jumped out of the back.

"Tamaki's a prince!" Aika shouted delightedly when she saw him wearing white dress pants and tail coat over a gold dress shirt. Then there was a fake sword hanging from his belt, a pristine white gloves on his hands, and a crown on his head.

"No, my dear princess, I am not a prince; I'm a king!" Tamaki said with a dramatic bow.

"Then can I be your queen!?" Aika asked happily.

"Why of course, me dear!" Tamaki said as he picked Aika up and swung her around.

"Wow, milord, you're a perverted creep for hitting on a six year-old," the twins said on an accusing whisper.

"Wait! No, I'm not!" Tamaki hopelessly tried to explain himself to the twins while the rest of us ignored them.

"Hey guys, are you ready to eat cake and have fun?" Hunny asked as he came into the room riding on Mori's shoulder. Hunny was wearing a black and white checked dress pants and a white shirt. On top of the shirt he wore a black and white stripped vest and a black bow tie. He had a silver stop watch and chain hanging from his waist and stuffed in his breast pocket, and he was holding a black and white mask.

Mori was wearing a very dark, but not quite navy, blue dress shirt and black dress pants. He was also wearing a silver vest and also a black dress coat that was open in the front in addition to his dark blue ties and gloves.

A light blush danced across my cheeks when I saw Mori and although I didn't say it, I was glad he wasn't wearing his blue, black, and silver mask because I liked his face without it.

Slowly following Hunny and Mori out of the back was Haruhi who was instantly pounced on by Tamaki and both sets of twins. Before she was mobbed, I was able to see that Haruhi was wearing a turquoise dress shirt, dark gray pants, a dark gray vest with varying shades of gray polk-a-dots which was under a turquoise blazer. She had a dark gray bow tie and gloves to finish the look.

I sent mental words of support to Haruhi as I casually and inconspicuously made my way to Mori's side. Quietly, I slipped my hand into Mori's and gave it a gentle squeeze, he looked down at me and I smiled at him he gave a small smile back.

"I bet you're thinking how hot Mori is without his shirt on." My ears flamed res and I jumped and whipped my head around to see the Hitachiin twins behind me.

"Wow, who would have thought that Reiko would turn out to be such a pervert," Hikaru whispered snidely and loudly to Kaoru.

"I know," Kaoru replied in the same mocking tone as his brother. "Falling for a guy just because she saw him once without his shirt on; how perverted!"

"Pervert!" Hikaru accused.

"Pervert!" Kaoru said.

"Shut up!" I shouted as my whole face heated up in embarrassment. "That's not true and you know it!"

"Yeah," Tadashi said stepping forward. "Reiko didn't fall for Mori because of his bare chest... She fell for him because of his height!"

"And his dark eyes," Yoite added.

"And his deep voice," Chizura said.

All three of them paused then said, "I guess Reiko really is a pervert."

"Stop it!" I said as I hit them on the head.

"A-hem," Kyoya said sternly, clearing is throat and getting everyone's attention. "It's time to discuss what we're doing tonight." Everyone settled down immediately and Kyoya continued. "As you know, in twenty-three minutes we will begin the host club's masquerade ball. The ball goes from seven-thirty to midnight. During the event, we'll only need the help of the guys since we have a surplus of girls and very few guys. So you three guys will be dancing basically all night and yo girls will help us open but you'll basically attend as guests. Does everybody understand?" Everyone nodded and Kyoya finished. "Your costumes are in the back like normal. Meet us by the grand entrance once you've changed."

"Okay," my siblings and I chimed as we headed to the back. Once we all changed we gathered in the club room before heading to the ballroom where I observed what my siblings were wearing.

Tadashi and Yoite are wearing black dress pants and Sotaru has brown dress pants. Tadashi has a red dress shirt and a black and white plaid vest; he also has a red tie on and a black tailcoat. He also has a intricate black, red and white mask.

Yoite has a black dress shirt, a gold vest, and a black bow tie and black belt; he has a gold and black mask.

Sotaru has on a dark purple dress shirt, a brown blazer, and a purple bow tie; he has a brown and dark purple mask.

All three of us girls are wearing dresses. Aika's is a light pink sleeveless empire waist dress with a sparkly purple sash around her chest and purple tulle sticking out beneath the dress. She has a pink and purple mask.

Chizura's dress is a silver sleeveless high-low dress. It has a v-neck in the front; the back is open with three emerald green lace strips that extend across the back in the shape of an hour glass with a knot where the two triangles connect. There was a dark gray sash set just above the hips and tied in the back. The dress was lightly gathered there and starting where the sash was tied, emerald green lace covered the dress, darkening into a forest green as it neared the hem. She has a emerald green, gray, forest green, and silver mask.

Finally, my dress is a really deep dark purple dress with a high sweet-heart neckline and sleeves that dropped two inches below my shoulders. The top part of the dress was fitted till it reached the waist where a silver sash was tied around it. The back was made of two triangular panels, one transparent and the other solid which wrapped over each other making a triangular dip. Starting where the sash was, the purple began getting even darker, swirling into black as the dress reached the floor with tiny little silver beads scattered around the base of the dress. The skirt over-lapped in the front, making a slit that opened at the knee and the dress reached an inch above my ankles in the front but was floor length in the back. My mask was dark purple, silver and black. Both Chizura and I had chokers, hers was gray with a hexagonal emerald, mine was black with a silver crescent moon.

By know we had reached the ball room. "Put on your masks," Kyoya hissed as we hurried into the dim room and took our places. Once everyone was in their places, us girls were at the base of the double staircases with the hosts evenly split between the two and above us with Tamaki on the top balcony, the lights flashed on. All the girls in front of us ooh and awed when they saw the hosts.

Holding a microphone, Tamaki announced, "My dearest princesses, Thank you for coming to our ball! We hope you enjoy this special night we have prepared for you this evening!" The girls clapped and Tamaki waited for them to quiet down to continue. "Thus, on behalf of the host club and the Nakahara cast, welcome to Ouran's Host Club's Masquerade Ball!"

Alright, since I'm so busy and tired of coming up with colors for costumes during club events I want you readers to leave a review for the colors the characters wear in the next event coming up in chapter seventeen. Feel free to suggest colors for one character or for all the characters, the boys need a color that looks good with black the girls need a main color and an accent color. Thanks for any suggestions!
