It finally feels like fall. The leaves are changing color and falling off the trees. This is actually my favorite time of the year and I can enjoy it more, being less hot than Texas. How the weather can be somewhat blazing in the fall is bizarre to me. I blame it on global warming. Of course I think I would be able to enjoy the season more if a certain someone would let me back onto the kendo team. It's really start to get to me. I get that he was mad and he was trying to teach me a lesson about how not to over exerting your self, but come on. It's been a long freaking time. At least to me it has. Three weeks without my sword is like a life time. I even hinted to him that I was fine now. My skin has gone back to its normal color, my eyes don't look like they belong to a zombie. I'm no longer randomly fainting. Okay, it only happen two times, the first was actually at the tournament and the other I didn't even really faint I just felt light-headed and closed my eyes for a bit, that's all.

At least I'm not talking to myself anymore. It was strange having a second opinion on things and it still being mine. Though I would never think or say any of it. The weird events that happen when I'm sick...

Though on the flip side I guess this gave me sometime for other things to occupy my time. Haruhi and I hang out more; since the tournament Rin and I have talked more as well. I get more girl time as Tamaki would say. She doesn't know that, but I do so that's what counts. Since I had nothing else to do with my free time, the host club has pretty much been my spot, well more than usual. Which is good and sort awkward at the same time. Good, because Mitsukuni is there and seems to be enjoying my suspension from the kendo team more than I am. It's awkward, because Kaoru and I seem to be having a secret that we're hiding from the rest of the club. It's not like either of us have done anything wrong, but it just feels wrong. Sometimes I'm off in a daze and suddenly meet his gaze. There's this look that he gives me. I can't describe it, but I know that it's not the innocent expression I thought it was before.

I don't know what to do anymore. I feel bad because I just haven't given him a straight answer, but what would I say? He's a good friend and I do like talking and being around him. It's already become awkward between us because of what he told me. I don't want to lose a friend because of it. But I don't want to be selfish and ignore how he feels. Even if it's me.

I rubbed my hair. "Ah, I don't know." I mumbled with a sigh.

"What did you say Kris?" I turned to Rin. I blinked at her as she gave me a curious expression.

I waved her off with a grin. "It's nothing." I was getting better at lying, sadly.

"Oh okay, well are you excited?" She smiled at me. I gave her a confused look

Excited about what? "What do you mean?"

We stared at each other before she realized. "Oh yes, you weren't at Ouran before this so you know." She lifted her glass. "Well, you see, every year on October thirty-first. We get a day off and you can pretty much do what you want. Dress up in costumes, have parties." She smiled. "It's pretty fun."

I looked down to my desk. "Sounds like it is..." Yes, I almost forgot about that particular holiday. How? Someone would ask. Well let me put it this way: I'm not a fan of being scared out of my mind, creepy stories, ghost, and of course, the dark. To put it clearly: I'm a coward. Don't get me wrong I love the candy, oh how I love the sweets. But everything with it, I haven't had the best experience with the holiday. But I don't want to ruin everyone else's fun by saying I dislike it.

So I'll stay quiet.

"What's wrong Kris? You don't seem very excited." She looked at me. "Don't like it?"

I gave a wry grin. "N-No that's not it." Lair. "Just day dreaming is all. It really does sound like fun, I can't wait!" I plastered a stiff smile onto my face.

Before she could say anything else, Tamaki suddenly jumped into the conversation. "Neither can I!" He exclaimed. "Ah, Halloween. It's just exciting me when I think about it. Everyone likes a good scare, no?"

No, I hate it.

I swallowed hard as Rin spoke."Yes!" She nodded vigorously. "I love it, this is my favorite holiday!" I raised my brow. I didn't know that. I would have pictured her more as a Christmas type of girl, but looks are deceiving. "Did you know our school has a legend?"

Tamaki leaned in with curiosity. "Really?"

She nodded pushing one of her braids back. "They say that there was a girl who was killed here." I gulped. "Her boyfriend murdered her in cold blood because she was caught cheating on him. So in anger he pushed her down the stairs and she never woke up again." Tamaki held onto me, I let him. "So every year at the stroke of midnight she comes back wandering the school, forever imprisoned because of her murder."

"Ah, that's so creepy!" Tamaki said with a shiver. "I can't imagine seeing her! Is that really true?"

She gave a small smile. "You never know." Rin certainly seems to like putting people on edge. She was nothing like this when I first met her, but then again I never tried to get to know her back then.

"I highly doubt it." We turned to Kyoya. He seemed quite board with the story. "Things such as that would have been broadcasted to the public."

Tamaki deadpanned as I just stared. I don't think Kyoya has ever been scared in his whole life. "Oh come one Kyoya, have some fun. Just think about it! The possibilities~" He wiggled his fingers for effect.

"Keep them to your self." He said. Tamaki and Rin sighed.

The blond turned to me putting a hand on my head. "It will be fun, even if meanie Kyoya isn't." He smiled.

Kyoya rolled his eyes and turned around. Despite everything I nodded. I would try my best for this Halloween to actually be fun.

I'll try.

*Break*

Since 'someone' still hasn't said anything to me about kendo, I walked straight to the club room where I was meet with the spirit of Halloween. Figuratively of course. I looked around me; the room was decorated with dark drapes and pumpkins. I walked back to the changing room, since I already know the deal. It wasn't like I could ask Kyoya. He would just tell me to go see for myself anyway. But I'm willing to bet it was along the lines of witches, wizards, werewolves or-

"Vampires." I said to myself. Vampire's were perfectly fine. They weren't scary, not when they 'sparkle' anyway.

After I finished putting on the costume, I picked up the fake Dracula teeth and stuck them on over my own. I tilted my head. I suppose I look ok, for a girl disguised as a guy. I pulled out my hair-band and put it onto my wrist as I pushed my fingers through my hair along with my bangs, so my whole face was seen. I could see the freckles that covered my nose and some what on my cheeks and forehead. My hazel eyes were lightning from the change in weather. They had bits of green and yellow here and there.

I stepped back when I stepped out of the changing from. I was jumped into a hug, a regular thing. "K-chan we're vampires!" Mitsukuni said.

"Yeah." I said. For all I know, he really could be with his monster strength and crazy jumping ability.

"You know what that means?" He asked. I raised my brow, but smiled.

"We can fly?" I asked.

He giggled. "Yeah~" He paused. I turned to look at him. "But that's not what I was thinking."

Then what was he thinking?

"You see, now that were vampires we need to survive off of blood." He said a matter of fact tone.

"Of course." I said, nodding my head in agreement. I decided to play along with his scenario.

"Yep, and that being so..." He trailed off. I jumped when he poked me in the neck. "Can I bite you?"

I stared at him until I realized what he just said. My face turned completely red. "W-What?" He seemed satisfied with my expression and gave me a flowery aired smile.

"I'm only kidding K-chan." He said as he jumped away. "That is if you want me to?"

I croaked. "I'm good!" I was a bit to loud and hasty with my answer. Which made him giggle.

I walked out of the changing room quickly with him following after me. I shake my head. I can never get use to his teasing.

Or is it even really teasing?

The thought made me blush and I pushed the it out of my head. As we both walked out to the front from, I noticed that Tamaki was impatiently pacing in the corner. I raised my brow, but didn't think to go ask him. I looked and saw that there were three missing people. I glanced over to Kyoya, who was looking down at his black notebook. I was still curious about what exactly he writes down in it, but I don't want to die when I do see it.

I walked up to the raven haired boy. "Um...hey, Kyoya?" I called. He glanced to me. "Do you know where Haruhi and the twins are?" The shadow king would know.

He lifted his glasses before he spoke. "I believe that they are planning for their Halloween events." And there you go.

Tamaki suddenly jumped into the conversation. "No type of planning should take the whole day! Those shady twins are obviously taking advantage of my precious daughter and daddy won't stand for it!" Then sit down.

Kyoya rolled his eyes. "Of course, your idiotic idea's take no less than a second to come up with."

Tamaki puffed out his cheeks. "Hmm."

I shook my head. "I'm sure they'll just be coming late." I tried to reassure him, but he was still pouting. I shrugged it off.

"In any case, seeing as they aren't here and we are about to set up. I suggest we take our places." Kyoya said. " Tamaki, stop staring at me it won't work."

We stood there for a moment and less than a minute later the doors opened. "Welcome." We said. The girls stared at us in awe.

One of the girls looked around. "Where are Haruhi, Hikaru and Kaoru?" The other girls nodded in agreement. Tamaki pretended to be hurt.

"I'm sorry that you ladies will have to settle for someone such as myself." He brushed his hair back as the girls screamed. I wanted to roll my eyes. Wasn't he the one panic about their absents just a few moments ago?

"Kris." I turned to Kyoya. "You have a request." I looked to see Rin and two other girls. They looked familiar. Oh yeah, they were the girls she was with when she first gave me the love letter. Awkward times, awkward times. Despite this I smiled at them.

I sat down and they sat across from me. "Hello." I greeted.

"Hi." The two girls said sounding a bit shy.

Rin just smiled. "Hey Kris." I blinked. Wow complete contrast to our first meeting.

I drummed my hands on the table. "Well, I guess I should properly introduce myself. I'm Kris Carson." I smiled once again

The girl on the left of Rin spoke first, tucking hair behind her ear. "I'm Yuki Harada." She blushed.

"I'm Sai Ragji." The other girl said.

"Rin Mazaki." She grinned at me.

I grinned back. "A pleasure to meet you."

"Like wise." She said.

I turned to glance at the other two girls. "So um, I've never seen you two here."

"Well Rin convinced us to come. She said it would be fun and all of you are nice." Yuki said. " She was right." She gave a smile.

"What year are you?" I asked. They seemed to be warming up to me. Yay, new friends.

"I'm a first year, in class 1-b." Sai said. "And Yuki is a third year actually in the same class as those two." She nodded toward Mitsukuni and Mori. I glanced at them and the blond caught my gaze, he smiled. I remembered what he said earlier and blushed, then looked at Mori. He glanced back at me before turning back to his table.

I turned back to the table. Rin looked at me. "Is he still mad?"

I sighed. "I don't know." I mumbled. I haven't really talked to him about it.

She gave me a sympathetic look. "Maybe you should take some time and talk to him about it."

"I wouldn't know what to say." We were silent and I looked up at my other guest. I smiled. "Sorry, I shouldn't be talking about my problems here."

Yuki shook her head. "No, no, I think it's better this way. It makes you look less perfect."

I choked on her words. "P-Perfect?"

Sai nodded. "Yeah, when Rin told me about you." She started. Rin looked embarrassed. " I had to see you for my self and to be honest...well your really pretty for a boy."

This is to much flattery for me. Well, besides the boy part. My cheeks had a tint of pink. "You guys are giving me way to much credit. I'm the furthest thing from perfect."

"Your still very likeable." Rin said. She grinned. "Lots think so." She was eyeing over at the blond at the other table. I blushed.

Dang it, she still thinks I'm a boy. Now I look gay in front of her friends

We are not getting on this subject. Where did her quietness go?

Despite a few awkward moments, I actually liked talking to the theses girls. It was nice to know that at least some of Ouran wasn't fan crazed. After a little while we turned to the door when we saw our missing host members come in.

"There you are. Your late." Tamaki said, stepping back from a girls ear. " Hurry up and get ready."

"No can do boss." The twins said.

"What do you mean!?" He said loudly.

"You see our class has changed things up this year." Hikaru said.

"Instead of the usual, were having a test of courage." Kaoru said.

"So we have to get started." They said.

"I suppose it can't be helped." Kyoya said.

"Have fun!" Mitsukuni said with a wave as the twins went to drag Haruhi away.

"Wait, why are you taking Haruhi with you?!" He yelled

They turned around with devious smirks. "Well Haruhi is in our class after all." Hikaru said.

"So she'll be with us the whole time." Kaoru said.

Tamaki looked worried as he went off into his own world a second later. I sweat dropped as he screamed out and grabbed Haruhi's shoulders. "No Haruhi, you can't go! Daddy forbids it!"

"Sempai would you stop it." Haruhi said with a dull expression. I shook my head at them as I glanced up at Kaoru. He had a funny expression on his face. He looked quite serious.

I raised my brow as Hikaru spoke. "Just let it go boss." He said with a grin. He was enjoying this.

Tamaki yelled in protest as the twins pulled Haruhi out of the room. "Argh! No daddy won't stand for this!"

"What's wrong with him?" Sai whispered.

I shook my head. "Nothing more than usual."

The rest of club went on with him pouting. I tried to ignore it the best I could.

*Break*

I hate Tamaki with all my heart. I loath his existence and I hope he feels my hateful thoughts right now. Why? You might ask. Well, since Haruhi might be in terrible danger wandering around at night with the shady twins. Why not protect her by running around at night as well? No, horrible idea. That's what I thought. There's no way that he would suggested something like that to the class.

But. He. Did.

What did he suggest you might ask? Well, let see. Why don't we as a class ,face off against the freaking first years in their test of courage!? Who ever can get all of the others class out will be the winner. The biggest scardy cat will be put in the newspaper. The class loved the idea and went to talk to the first years. Oh, and they loved it too. Much more fun then scaring them selves. Why not make their peers look like morons.

I whimpered as I scratched my head. "I don't wanna."

"What's the matter?" Rin asked. "Don't look so down. Tamaki had a great idea." She smiled

Sure he did.

"Yeah great."

"Since were trying to spread out to get all of the first years in class A, it would be best for teams of two." She said. "So what do you say, me and you?"

I glanced at her. "Sure." Trying to look as nonchalant as possible.

"Great!" She cheered. "You watch, they won't know what hit them." She laughed...but it sounded kind of creepy. I'm glad Rin is my partner in this. She's scaring me right now. Hopefully she can do the same to everyone else. She kind of reminded me of Nekozowa at the moment.

"Wonderful." I breathed out.

*Halloween night*

I gulped in with a shudder down my back. I glanced up at our school, it didn't look like the nice girly place it was during the day. What if something weird really did happen? It was Halloween after all. I shook my head.; I need to stop thinking like I use to. Ghost and witches aren't real.

"Hey Kris!" Someone said as they tapped my shoulder. I let out a squeal before I turned around

It was Rin. "H-Hey." I tried to calm myself down, but I was failing. "S-S-So what's the plan?"

She stared at me and I looked back at her. "Kris seriously what's wrong with you. You've been acting very strange since Tamaki brought up the this whole thing. I thought it would be fun but..." Her eye's seemed to widen as if she figured it out. "Your scared. Kris your scared of Halloween?"

I rubbed the back of my neck in shame."Not really Halloween its self..." I paused. "Just everything that comes with it."

She looked at me. "Kris that's everything. Man, I see it now. Your terrified, we don't have to be here you know. We could just forfeit." She sounded disappointed. I didn't want to be the reason she couldn't have fun so I swallowed down my fear.

"W-We can still play." I said slowly regretting my words.

She looked at me and shook her head. "No, we don't have to."

"But I want to." I urged.

"No you don't. Your scared. I get that you're a boy and you think you have to prove your self, but you don't. Everyone has fears." She said firmly.

I tried my best to hold my ground. "We have to try to get over them some day, right?"

"Yours doesn't have to be today?" She said.

"If not today, when?" We both stared at each other, trying to see who would crack first.

She sighed. " You win, but if you don't think you can do it anymore tell me alright?"

"Fair enough" I said

We walked into the building trying to keep as quiet as we could. We had walked for a while without seeing anyone and I was relieved. I could tell Rin was a bit disappointed. I suggested we find a hiding stop so we could catch them off guard. She brightened a bit as we turned the next corner. I was surprised to see the twins, Haruhi and someone I didn't recognize staring back at us.

Only the unknown boy screamed. Haruhi put a hand over his mouth. "Quiet class rep."

He stared back at us then nodded. "Ha!" Rin said. " We got you!"

Hikaru stepped forward "No you didn't! That doesn't count; class rep was the only one that screamed."

She crossed her arms. "Hm, I suppose your right..." She looked at him as if she was trying to figure something out. She leaned over to my and whispered. "That's Hikaru right?"

I blinked at her and nodded. She smiled seeming satisfied with her self. The said boy looked between us. "What?" He asked with a frown. It looked as if we were taking about him. Well, we were but...

"Nothing." We said. He still frown unsatisfied with our answer.

Before something else could start, Kaoru intervened. "Well what do we do now? We've seen each other and neither of us scared the other."

"Well, technically we did." Rin mumbled. Hikaru gave her a look.

"You think with so many kids running around the school, we would run into more than you two." Haruhi said.

"This is a gigantic school." I reminded her.

She sighed. "Guess your right, rich people." She said with a dull tone

The boy shuddered wryly. "I hope we don't see anyone else; I don't think I can take anymore."

I gave him a sympathetic look. I knew how he felt, but surprisingly nothing terrible has happened. Yet, at least and I'd like to keep it that way.

"Well, I guess we can part ways and try to scare you guys again later." Rin said as she glanced at me. I nodded, we were about to turn away when I heard the clock outside ring. I looked at it and it said mid-night.

Suddenly the boy began to panic. "The ghost is going to take me with her!" He covered his head. I looked at him and then to the twins.

"Did you guys tell him that legend?" Rin looked guilty because she had told me.

"What?" They asked innocently. "It's not as if its real."

Sure, that doesn't mean you scare the crap out of people, like me. "Just relax, everything's going to be fine." Haruhi tried to reassure. We all froze when we heard a noise from the stairs next to us. My chest tightened as I saw something falling down the stairs.

It was a skull.

My breath started to quicken and Rin grabbed my hand. "You think that's going to scare me?" Hikaru walked up to skull and kicked it up the stairs as it bounds of the rails.

"Awesome." I said, trying to keep my cool.

Kaoru clapped his hands. "Wow, good job."

"Impressive." Rin complimented.

We all froze at what we heard next. "Did you guys hear that?" Haruhi asked.

We all turned slowly. "My skull, you kicked my skull." The hoarse voice said. My eyes went wide at women in the white kimono and black hair. The worst part was her face. You could see all the deformities. I was scared and completely freaked out.

"What the-" Rin started to question.

The women yelled at us. "My skull!" Her voice was terrifying

We all screamed. In my experience with this type of thing. I've learned don't question, just run. So that's what I did. I screamed and ran, like a coward.

I realized somehow I had let go of Rin's hand, but my legs kept moving. "Wait up Kris! I can't keep up." Someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder I screamed again.

I looked and realized that it was Kaoru. Where were the others? Before I could think anymore about it, we were both suddenly pushed into a dark room.

No, this can't be happening again!

I turned around and tried to open the door. It wouldn't budge. I started to bang on the door as my breath shortened out of fear. "Let me out!" My voice crack. I was about to cry; I could feel it.

I dropped down to the floor leaning my back against the door with my hands over top of my head. I closed my eyes. My eyes felt pressure and I could feel it, the water sliding down my cheeks.

Pathetic.

I turned when I felt an arm go around my shoulder; I'd remembered that Kaoru was in here with me. "Hey, it's okay." He whispered bringing me closer. "Just stay like this. We'll get out of hear soon, promise."

I only nodded my head as I moved closer to him. I realized that this was wrong, but my fear was taking over my judgment of the situation.

I tried my hardest to calm myself down.

Crazy ghost woman.

Me.

Kaoru .

Alone...It will be fine...I hope.
