Ch. 21- Cinderella and the Dark Prince

I wake up excited about tonight. The day flies by until I join Haruhi's team. It consists of Haruhi, the twins, and her class president Kazukiyo Soga. We walk in together. I remember how after Haruhi and the twins left that the rest of the Host Club planned to scar Team B. Though they promised me not to give it away.

Soon after we start it gets a tad creepy and after awhile I am pulled into a closet. I try to scream but something soft is covering my mouth and it just happens to be taking my breath away. I realize it's our 'magic'. I separate from the form and glare at Umehito.

"I'm sorry, but we need to talk and this was the only way to talk to you," he says.

"It's not the only way you know," I snap at him, then realizing what I've done and that I snapped at who I care about most. "I'm sorry," I say behind my hand that's covering my mouth, "I've not been in a good mood lately."

"Your brother told me that you overheard our conversation," he says as he caresses my cheek with his hand. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life. I don't want to lose this, no matter how much it hurts. I think our relationship is worth the hurt. I want to stay with you as long as you allow me to," he says.

"Oh Umehito," I say as I fling my arms around his neck. "Our relationship is worth it, I love you so much to give this up, I just was acting out of my head after I heard that conversation. You're the best thing that's happened to me in my life as well. I don't want to give up on us yet," I say.

He then smiles widely and kisses me suddenly. "Your brother made you pack a bag before you left correct," he asks after we separate.

"Yea, why," I ask.

"You're coming with me after this is over," he says smiling mischievously. I smile back. He kisses me again and says "Now let's go scare Team B." I nod excitedly. We meet up with the Host Club who is also trying to scare them. They start initiating the plan.

I watch the team from around a corner as they come towards me. "Guys we lost Yasuko," Karou observes now noticing that I'm gone.

"Where'd she go," Kazukiyo asks.

"Maybe the Clocktower Witch took her," Hikaru says creepily.

Kazukiyo shivers and says "Stop it." They start to laugh. I watch as they get to the target and soon the fun begins. They get separated, then one of them get trapped in a net and the others in a room. Soon they get out, but then are scared by a shadow of Beelzenef. We all crack up together and the hosts congratulate Umehito for the idea.

Tamaki gives me my bag and I head off with Umehito to his house. We get there and are immediately greeted by the dynamic duo Kuretake and Kadomatsu. Umehito then practically drag me to his room. He then let's me dress in the bathroom in my PJ's as he does in his room. He knocks on the door and says "I'm done, you can come out when you are."

I walk out and am immediately hugged. "I'm so glad you chose me," he whispers against my ear.

"It was an easy choice. Besides you should know I'll always choose you," I voice. He looks at me wide eyed and looks so happy. Soon we go eat dinner in our PJ's and then pop on a child appropriate movie since Kirimi is joining us. I snuggle up to Umehito on one side as Kirimi does the other.

"My two favorite girls," he says as he kisses Kirimi on the head and then me. Soon Kirimi drifts off and Kuretake takes her and carries her up to her bed. Soon we both start getting tired after watching the third movie. "Alright time for bed," he says as he gets up.

I groan and bury my face in the couch. The next thing I know is I'm being picked up by Umehito. I squeal and instantly hold on. I glare at him all the way there. He places me on the bed and I bury myself under the covers. He joins me under the covers then and pulls me close to him. He hunts underneath the covers for me face and then kisses my nose and I wrinkle it at him. He chuckles and then says "Night my Cinderella."

I kiss him quickly on the lips and then reply "Night my Dark Prince." We then drift off together.

A/N: Those nicknames are perfect for them.
