We finally arrived at the academy. The butterflies in my stomach are now going 100 miles an hour. I swear I feel like I have to throw up. Sara notices my discomfort and tries to calm me down "It'll turn out fine, I mean you are Noguchi Taguhi after all. The best daughter in the world right?" Bringing me back to when I made that promise, I straightened my back as I got out of the car. Pumping myself up "let's do this" as we walked towards the doors.

"You think he'll recognize me? It's been a few years."

Sara was quick on the uptake when she responded

"Who? Tamaki or your first crush?"

Annoyed by her answer I ignored the end of her remark. "Tamaki of course... I have no hope for that other creature. Besides, he wasn't my first crush."

Sara stared at me and her look said it all. Her facial expression just screamed 'yeah right, what ever you say, girl' to me.

Ignoring her once more I just continued, "Let's just try to get Tamaki alone so I can deliver the letter." She grinned "sure thing boss" as we entered the hall.

The room was fitting of being a ballroom of a rich private school: chandeliers, marble floors, all the works.

Sara and I slowly stepped around the room scanning it in search of the blond I knew so well. After endlessly searching my ears picked up a voice that sounded familiar, it had to be him. I walked straight towards the sound and there he was, making some girl woo over him as per usual. Tamaki had grown taller than I remembered, he truly had his mother beauty. I walked towards him "Bonsoir, puis-je vous déranger un instant?"

I suppose his instincts took over as he immediately turned around "Bien su-… Taguhi?!" he blinked a few times. Surely he didn't expect me to be here. I tried to wake him from his freeze "How have you been Tamaki?"

His brain took control again as he happily hugged me "It's been far too long, You look absolutely breath-taking" as he spun me around to see the dress. He was talking quite loud for the majority of the room started staring at us and speculating what my involvement was with him. I responded to his non-question "Yes far too long, we were but children" … This way they could gather that we were childhood friends.

Tamaki proclaimed "I've got to introduce you to the family!"' as he pulled me along towards the stairs that were located at the near center of the room "The family?!" I asked. He didn't respond as he came to a halt "You guys I've got someone you have to meet."

I saw a group of people gathering towards him and the sight of two of them made my stomach drop… FFS.

"I would like you guys to meet Noguchi Taguhi, she's a relative of mine." I bowed as Tamaki presented the persons in front of me. Most of them I already knew because I had done business with their families.

"This is Honey Haninozuka" I let my eyes drop onto the eldest of the Martial arts family, I delivered some fabric to them a few weeks ago for one of their new dojos. " Tagu-chan, nice to meet you, oh and this is my bunny Usa-chan." I was surprised how child-like his voice was more than anything. I mean he's supposed to be eighteen, sure he can have a small stature and have a baby face but seriously... How did he keep his voice so high pitched?! Also, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, being dubbed "tag" chan. Never the less, I didn't voice any of these thoughts and just slightly nodded my head towards him as Tamaki continued with the presentations.

"Oh and this is his cousin Mori Morinozuka" Dang, this dude is huge and that's coming from me with my 175cm height... without heels. I blinked a few times. Until Tamaki removed me from my thoughts.

"This is Haruhi Fujioka, the honor student of our school" ... She's a chick. I mean, she has to be, right?! Why isn't she wearing a dress? Doesn't she like them? Well, better leave it for what it is and talk about to Tamaki later. I slightly bowed "pleasure to meet you." Haruhi smiled gently… yep, she's totes a chick.

"Next we have Kyoya Ootori" The youngest son of Yoshio Ootiro didn't waste any time to make clear he knew exactly who I was "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Noguchi-san, I've heard allot about you through my father. I must say, the fabrics you delivered did not disappoint." He's way too slick for my liking but, I kept that thought on the back of my mind "My, thank you, I'm glad it's to your liking."

"Oh and then we have the Hitachiin twins, Hikaru.." My gaze fixed on the right twin. He had grown up quite nicely although I wish he hadn't. It's easier to take revenge and hate on someone you don't find attractive. He clearly didn't recognize me. Why should he though? I'm sure the terrible trick his brother and him used to pull accumulated to a good number of female victims.

"and Kaoru." He was about to say how happy he was to meet me when my glare stopped him in his tracks. I shouldn't have done that. Most of the group noticed the change of atmosphere as well. I decided that this wasn't the place to start my crusade on these guys and softened my expression while turning to Tamaki. "Tamaki, may I have this dance?"

He gave me a gentle smile and guided me towards the dance floor by my hand. As we were dancing Tamaki tried to start up a conversation. "Are you alright, Taguhi?" He was probably referring the awkward state we left the group in when I stared at Kaoru. "Sure, I'm fine" I responded hoping we wouldn't notice the faltering in my voice "I'm just a little bit tired from the jet lag that's all". He gave me a look that was slightly skeptical but that showed he wasn't going to press the matter.. at least not for now. Trying to the keep the conversation going I focussed on another matter.

"So Haruhi's a girl, right?". Tamaki froze in his step and immediately put his arms in the air frantically explaining how Haruhi was "definitely a man" and how it was rude of me "to assume Haruhi was a girl." I held back my laughter. He's always been obvious when lying. We resumed dancing again "She's really cute though isn't she?" to which Tamaki responded "oh yes, My little Haruhi is the cutest thing. Even more so when she dresses up". I smirked, I knew I could get him to accidentally spill the beans, "So she IS a girl". Looking defeated, he gave up trying to convince me of otherwise. He did, however; make me promise I would keep this secret. Quite honestly I don't even understand how this could've been considered a secret, to begin with.

Our little chat went on while we were dancing. He asked me where I was staying; I gave him the name of the hotel and told him he should visit tomorrow evening. I told him I had a gift waiting for him. He seemed curious and agreed to come over. All the while I didn't realize that the group we had left still had their gazes firmly fixed on us. Well at least the some of them had.

*While Tamaki and Taguhi were dancing*

Harihu looked up at the youngest of the Hitachiin twins, who was trying to dissect Taguhi with his eyes "What did you do to her Kaoru?"

He looked at her surprised like her question had brought him out of his concentration "I have no Idea Haruhi, I swear. I don't remember having met her before." This is where Kyoya cut in "Well surely you must have done something, maybe when you were in middle school perhaps. You three were in the same class for a few months after all. Although she was rarely in class due to her family's business trips, it's still likely something happened there." The bunch ended up staring at the twins, expecting some eureka moment from them. "Hey Hold on" Hikaru chimed "If this is about something we did in middle school then she would've glared at her both of us. She's probably just on her period or someth—Auwtch!" he was interrupted by Haruhi giving him a slight tap on the back of his head "Shut up Hikaru, that's just plain rude." Kaoru ignored the conversation as he stared at the girl "Say, Kyoya?"

"Yes, Kaoru?"

"What did Tamaki say her name was again?"

Kyoya got a shine on his glasses as he opened his little black book

"Her name is Taguhi Noguchi, She's the adopted daughter of Masaru Noguchi and Marie Catherine Elisabeth Pelletier. Because of her parent's death due to an accident she has been leading the company since the age of 12 thanks to her legal guardian and assistant Sara Badour. Her family's company is currently the Number one dealer in any kind of fabrics along with simple but elegant designer clothes…" Kyoya went on and on about all the information he had on her But Kaoru had long stopped listening.

The girl's name and that of her parents rang a bell to him. Kaoru had an idea where he might've seen her name before. He was going to have to wait until he got home to make certain of it.
