~Next Day at School~

~With Rose~

I drag my feet through the halls *I don't get how this girl can wear these heels day in and day out. One night and my feet are pissed off at me* I enter my classroom to see Kyoya already in his chair. Moving to mine, I fall into it with a groan. "Never again," muttered aloud.

"I see that you doing good" Kyoya never looked towards me as he worked on his computer. Rolling my head to look at him, "Please tell me if we have outfits today. I'm not in heels, Kyoya…" wait for my fate. "I believe you do," Kyoya responded without looking my way as I dropped my head on the table. "Today is not my day," closing my eyes as footsteps came closer to our table *Must be for Dark Prince here* not lifting my head.

"Excuse me, but you are Rose, right?" a girl's voice made me look up. There she stood, waiting for me. "Huh, yes, I am. How can I help you?" looking confused. "Well, you work at the host club, right? I wondered if I could sit with you today" I blinked in confusion and then looked to Kyoya. "Huh, I'm not sure how to…" as he jumped in, "No problem, Princess. I shall put you down for sitting with Rose today at the club," making the girl smile.

"Okay, see you later, Rose" she exited the room. Looking back to Kyoya, "What just happened?" very lost at that interaction. "It seems that you have gained a following" Kyoya smirked as he typed more, making me look up at the ceiling *Oh, Blondie is not going to be happy with me*

~At the Host Club~

"Oh, my Daughter! I knew you would be like Daddy," Tamaki shouted while snuggling me in the middle of the room. Haruhi stood to the side watching us "Senpai….Rose needs to breath" with arms crossed. Tamaki's grip loosened as I pushed away from him. Walk next to Haruhi, I lay my head on her shoulder. "How did this even happen?" Haruhi patted my back.

"Who knew Rose would be popular with the ladies" Hikaru spoke up. Lifting my head, I glared at the matching vampire twins as Tamaki popped up between Haruhi & me. Looking at the blonde boy, I see elf ears peering through his hair. "Well, either way, this is good for the club" Kyoya walked over wearing a dark cloak and book in hand that said 'Spells.'

Glancing at the four boys looks, "So today theme is what exactly?" confused, trying to make the connection. "Rose-chan!" a small form collied with me as its hands wrapped around my waist. Looking down, Hunny had on some wings that were reminiscent of fairies. "Hey, Hunny! What are you dressed as exactly?" hugging the older boy back before separating.

"I'm dressed as a fairy, and Takashi is a Werewolf" he pointed towards his cousin. Takashi had wolf ears on his and fangs poking out from his lips. Waving to the static boy, "Hey Takashi!" with a smile as he greets me with a nod. "Today is Fantasy, my dear daughter. Our Princess will be taken to a fantastical world," Tamaki appears, gripping my shoulder.

Looking to the excited boy, "So….can I be the villain then? I think I could be good at it," placing my hand under my chin, thinking. Tamaki spun me to face him. "NO! You can be a princess," freaking out as I pout. Looking to Haruhi, "You be the princess. I want the villain part" as she gives me a blank look "No" then walked to the changing area.

"But I don't want to be a princess…" muttering as I drag myself behind her. The Twins appear by my side. "Don't worry, Rose…." Kaoru started, "You will love your outfit" Hikaru finished as they both grinned at me. "Alright, I trust you since you did good on the pirate look," As I smiled at them as I wandered to get ready.

~Fast Forword~

*Now this I can work with!* Smiling at the gown as I tie the sheer cloak around me. A navy blue dress clung to my body with a slit on the side, exposing my leg. Scattered at the swoop of my neck and the slit were gems sparkling the area. The sheer cloak laid on my shoulder was a matching blue with stars and gems sprinkled on it. Grabbing my staff, I walked out to see a very unhappy Haruhi.

Haruhi stood arms crossed in a pale blue dress with wings on her back. "Well, you look cute….Blondie is going to have a field day with you," smirking at her making her walk away from me. "Nooo, little brother, come back!" jokingly as I chase after her into the main area. Entering Tamaki's face glowed red, looking at Haruhi while the Twins make fun of him.

Walking up beside Kyoya, "This will be an interesting day...also am I a sorceress?" not looking away at the scene while Hunny and Takashi came to stand near us. "Yes, you are...Now we need to get ready for the guest to arrive" Kyoya marched over to the four of them as I sighed *I feel exhausted already* rubbing my forehead.

A hand enveloped mine, glancing I see Hunny had taken my hand. "Come on, Rose-chan! You can stand next to me and Takashi!" dragging me along with Takashi in tow. *Let the chaos begin!* getting into to place, "Welcome!" we all said in unison.

~Fast Forword~

Groaning *I am not cut out for this type of work...* laying my head on the table in a dark corner away from everyone. Looking at the other hosts entertaining, a smile graced my lips *These guys are scary good at this now that I look at them. Those girls were nice to talk to but still a bit too high maintenance to me to add input to the convo* sighing at the memory.

"I can't help not knowing these fancy name brands and what's in." lifting my head to lay in my hand. A shadow appeared over me and placed a drink on the table. Looking up, "Hey Takashi! Thanks for the water," I smile as he moves to sit opposite of me. Lifting the cup, I took a sip happily. "How have you been? I feel like we don't get to talk much," looking at him.

Takashi nods. "Good. We are not in the same grade, so it's expected" to answer me. "Yeah, I wish I could hang out with you all more. Between school, the club, and work...I feel like I'm being pulled everywhere at once," sighing as I look up to the tall boy. "Don't overwork yourself. We will worry" Takashi patted my head as he got up to go back to Hunny.

Smiling at his retreating figure, I look to the clock. "Why must you move slow…" annoyed at the hands of time. *Well, I'm bored...no other bookings, and everyone is set for now* sliding down in my chair, "I put a spell on you….now your mine," muttering lyrics, waving my hands when a wall of the club room went dark.

Getting up, I see the twins already there with a flashlight as a door appeared *Weird...* looking closely, the door opened, and Beelzenef popped out *Ah Umehito* smiling at the puppet. "Did someone speak of spells?" Umehito's head appeared behind the door. Waving "Hi Umehito and Beelzenef!" as I walk closer to him.

~With Tamaki~

As I was entertaining my Princess when a part of the club room went dark. Jumping up, the Princess and I hide behind the couch. Peaking around it, I see the Twins and Rose stand before the dark door. "Did someone speak of spells?" Umehito's puppet and Umehito popped out.

"Hi Umehito and Beelzenef!" Rose greeted them happily, walking over to them. *Daughter NO!* I leap over the couch. "Daughter, don't go into the dark!" shouting with my hands out in front of me.

~With Rose~

Standing in front of the cloaked boy, "I was just mumbling lyrics Umehito...that's all," smiling as he puts Beelzenef between us. "Ah, but if you join the Dark Magic Club, I can teach you spells...even curses," leaning in more. "Really?" interested in the thought of magic *Okay, he has piqued my curiosity* waiting for more information.

When a male voice screamed, "Daughter, don't go into the dark!" looking to the source, I saw Tamaki running at me. Making a face at him *Really, it's not like I haven't been there before* focusing back on Umehito. "Really...also, if you join, you will get your own Beelzenef" lifting the cute cat puppet in my face, I grinned.

"Daddy says NO!" Tamaki scream at me as I dodge his grasp. Leaning into Umehito's face with a smile, "Now you're speaking my language," as I go to follow through the door with a shock Umehito. When arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me up and walking away with me.

Looking behind, I see Takashi, who placed me down next to Haruhi. Pouting with crossed arms, "I just want a cute cat puppet..." trailing off at the end in mumbles looking to Haruhi, "No," she sighed at my antics. Tamaki appeared from nowhere, hugging me, "I can get you as much cute cat stuff you want. No going to the dark side," clinging tightly.

Pulling away from Tamaki, I look back to where Umehito was to see the door gone. Glaring at the blonde, "The Beelzenef was just the bonus, Blondie!...I was more excited to learn the dark arts" with hands-on, my hips. Smiling devilishly at the thought of spells and curses.

Tamaki went to his mushroom corner of despair. Haruhi bonked my head. "That's why I said no, Rose," walking back to her area. Whining, "But Haruhi...I would be great at it," as I follow after her. "No, you would be chaotic," Haruhi answered, causing me to laugh. *True!* as I join her guest, ignoring Tamaki's ever-growing mushroom corner.
