Chapter four

Yuui closed his Potions book and looked at his older brother. "What is it Fay?"

Fay sat across from his brother. "You were late this morning and you didn't come over and join us." Fay pouted looking at his twin.

"I didn't get much sleep last night, so I woke up late. Everyone was gone by the time I got up."

"You mean Seishirou didn't wake you up?"

Yuui shuddered, he hated sharing a room with that creep on top of Fei Wang Reed. Fei Wang Reed, the leader of a gang of witches and wizards that loved to use their magic to torture people. The same male that had cornered him this morning and asked him to join his gang.

Yuui was flabbergasted. "You attack any non-pureblood or any student that isn't Slytherin. My brother isn't in Slytherin house. Besides, I figured you'd want someone from a family that believes in the dark arts. Why don't you try Sakurazuka?" Yuui rolled his blue eyes. The teen acted sweet and innocent most of the time, but he knew he had a dark secret, his mother was an open supporter of the Dark Arts and yet her youngest son seemed innocent enough.

"Well Flourite?"

"I'll think about it. Do you mind? I would like to get breakfast."

Yuui shook his head at the memory. "No, Seishirou was long gone before me, probably to go meet his sweet lover boy." There was a note of bitterness in Yuui's voice.

"Is that why you won't sit with us? Because of everyone being happy and you being alone? There's a few people over there that aren't seeing anyone but they're there."

"That's not it Fay, that's not it at all. I have someone I like for your information, but I just wanted to be alone to think."

"Really? Who do you like? Do I know them?"

Yuui's face tinted pink. "Later, I'll tell you later, I need to finish my Potions homework Fay...go back over to Kurogane or something. I'm fine."

Fay sighed, once his brother made up his mind that was that. Fay got up and plopped himself back down just in time to hear Hokuto announce she and Tomoyo were going to make everyone's dress robes for the ball so everyone needed to be measured and they needed to find a date.

"If my shy little brother can find a date, EVERYONE CAN!"

"HOKUTO!" Subaru's face turned bright red and he hid his face in hands.

"I don't see why everyone needs a date."

"Because Kamui, it's more fun that way! Half of our gang is dating anyways. You could go with Fuuma, he'd take care of you, and Watanuki could go with Doumeki. There, I saved you the trouble!" Hokuto laughed again. To her right Kamui was almost as red as Subaru and he desperately tried not to meet Fuuma's eyes.

"That'd be quite an evening, eh Kamui?"

"Don't make me kick you."

Watanuki was flailing next to Fay. "ME?! GO WITH HIM? NO IT'S ABSURD, HE PROBABLY CAN'T DANCE."

"You're being too loud again."

"SEE?! THAT'S WHY."

"Who's Hokuto going to go with?" Fay asked the young girl.

Hokuto snorted. "I'll be the life of the ball! Any boy that isn't gay will gladly dance with me!"

Fay giggled, between her and Watanuki he was feeling a little bit better. Though he was still wondering about Yuui and if everything would be okay.

A/N: this chapter was a pain in the royal manga's spine. Next chapter will be a timeskip in an attempt to get to the good stuff ;)
