~With Rose~

~Skip to English~

Walking into the room, I give the teacher a quick smile. *Right, Blondie is in this class with me…at least I have Umehito to help keep me sane* heading straight to my spot beside Umehito.

Grinning cheerfully to my friend, "Hello, Umehito!" he returns a small smile "Hello Rose…How are you?" in his soft voice, he turned the book to the right page. Sitting down, "I'm doing alright. How about yourself?" and following his lead to see today's assignment.

"My Princess, do you not also wish to know how I am?" Blondie appeared from thin air and looked towards me, causing Umehito and me to jump. Clutching my chest *Really, I need a tracker on these people…* I turned to him "Alright then…how you doing Blondie?" as his form deflates, a giggle escaped from me.

~Lunch Time~

Clutching my stomach, "So hungry…" heading to my claimed lunch spot. Leaving the building, I closed my eyes and felt the sun on my skin, not noticing that a person was running in my direction until it was too late.

"Ow!" two voices spoke in pain, stumbling backward from impact. Collecting myself, I glance over to be met with a pair of amber eyes *Kaoru? No…not Kaoru, so…Hikaru then* as I held eye contact with him. Standing across from him, "Sorry about that…" as I lean my weight to one side.

Hikaru turned his head to the side and scratched the back of his head. "It's…alright. Are you okay?" glancing at me. Looking at myself, there weren't any cuts, so I nodded with a small smile. He nodded while still not looking at my full "So listen…about yesterday… I…um," tilting my head at his stumbling.

When it came to me *Oh, he is trying to apologize for yesterday's head-butting and yelling* trying to hold back my smile at his attempt. Touching his shoulder, "Right, sorry for that too…sometimes I let my temper out at the wrong times," making him face me to show him my smile. Moving away, "Well, I have to go…" to go find my tree.

"Why didn't you show up…" hearing his low voice stopped me *Didn't show…Oh! The club right* turning my head to him. "Oh, I had to catch up on a lot of work my teachers gave me. I wouldn't want to fall behind at the beginning of the school year. I think I'll show up today since there isn't much work today," smiling at him giving a short wave.

Beginning to walk again, "See ya, Hikaru!" for him to yell, "I'm not Hikaru. I'm Kaoru!" smirking, I looked back. "No, your Hikaru…Stop lying" I started jogging, leaving me in shock as laughter escaped my lips. Smiling as I walked up to my tree *Well, that was fun* sitting down and leaning on the bark "Let's eat!" pulling out my food.

~With Hikaru~

I was looking for Kaoru when I felt someone run into me, making me stumble back. Lifting my head, I was ready to yell when I noticed a familiar dirty blonde-haired girl in front of me *Rose…* as her hazel eyes met mine.

We began to talk a bit before she tried to leave. "Why didn't you show up…" stopping her in her tracks *Was it me…was it because of yesterday?* as I waited for her response.

She turned to me. "Oh, I had to catch up on a lot of work my teachers gave me. I wouldn't want to fall behind at the beginning of the school year. I think I'll show up today since there isn't much work today," explained with a smile and walking off with a wave. "See ya, Hikaru!" yelling at me.

Starring at her figure *Uh…how does she know it's me? Must be luck* thinking of a quick response "I'm not Hikaru. I'm Kaoru!" yelling back with a smirk. She looked back with one on her lips too. "No, your Hikaru…stop lying!" she yelled back as she jogged off.

My jaw dropped. "How?" muttered out as Rose's figure disappeared from my sight. Shaking my head, I headed to the cafeteria to meet up with the other Hosts, hoping that my brother was already there.

~With Rose~

~School Over~

Walking down the halls. "Already the first project of the year…well, it's for creative writing" Looking at the endlessness. "So it's not that bad…pretty easy I just need to find a theme to write about" that is precisely the same. I notice that nothing looks familiar. "Wait, Really!? I feel like I am in a damn fun house…nevermind those are fun this, this is just annoying! Why the hell is everything look the same in this school" yelling into the empty halls.

Turning right at the nearest hallway, "I hope this is the right way to the club," I rubbed my forehead. "…I've made two promises that I will be there…I intend to keep it" as I adventured further into the maze of halls.

~10 minutes later~

Spinning in a circle, "Okay, I went up, but I ended up in the basement? What the hell.." looking around to see a door further down. "Maybe someone is through here…I hope?" pushing it open, I was greeted by a dim lite room filled with candlelight.

Stepping in slowly, "Alright, this is like a movie. It is not what I expected," allowing my eyes to adjust to the change of lighting. "Hello? Anyone here…" keeping my voice in an even tone as I walked in further.

"Hello…Rose, what a pleasant surprise. Why are you here?" Umehito's voice came from my left. I followed where his voice was to be faced of an unknown figure "Umehito? You're blonde…why are you in the basement of the school?" looking at him with a lost look.

So many questions filled my mind as his blue eyes stared. "Yes…and this is where the Black Magic Club is located. How did you come across my club?" He intensely looks with confusion. Tilting my head at the information, "Oh..." placing a hand under my chin.

"The Black Magic Club? I was trying to find the Host Club since I have these free passes to it…I thought I might as well use them. Is it anywhere near here? I am horrible with directions in this damn maze of a school," looking hopeful at him.

Umehito nodded at me. "Yes, but let me get my things, and I shall take you there…" walking over further into the dark to return with his wig, cloak, and cat puppet on his hand. Taking my hand, "Follow me…" as he leads me into the darkness.
