Did you guys know that I've been writing this story for over 2 years!? It's crazy!

Glad to know you're still alive! School can be a pain, and I've almost finished my last year!...God damn the twins messed up big time! And no it's not telepathy and it's not the ability to sense when someone is lying, but it has to do with the mind ;p…Necklace is gone which is seriously bad!...The Haruhi and Georgia moments are pretty cool, and they're fun to write…I KNOW! I really want them too! And thanks!...Hahaha yeah, there are a lot of choices, so choosing one would be hard….OMG 'Your little carrot don't die!' it legit made me laugh!...I'm glad you like the arc and that you like the story in general!...Thank you so much! I love you heaps!
…
Well, the hospital let me out incredibly early the next morning, like at six o'clock in the morning early. Like seriously, why would they do that? Especially to a teenage patient. Like come on! Apparently, Kyoya listed Ranka and Haruhi as my emergency contact as he couldn't access any of my files to find their contact.
So by quarter past six, I was at the entrance to the hospital, with her briefcase in hand, and full blue uniform ready to go. "I am so glad that I don't have to wear one of those puffy yellow dresses." I remark meeting my gorgeous boy-like friend at the entrance.
"I'm glad that I'm in the male's uniform. It is actually quite comfy." She says rolling her shoulders around in the blue blazer.
"I probably wouldn't be able to breath in the other one." I joke around as we come to the sidewalk crossing. I head up to press the crossing button, but Haruhi turns the opposite way, "Um Haruhi, school is this way…?" I question to the back of my little friend.
She stops walking, placing both feel in line and looks over her shoulder at me. "I know it is, but I would prefer it if I didn't get to school by half past six in the morning." She reminds me, with a slightly cocky attitude.
"Oh my god. Haruhi doesn't want to be at school early!" I over dramatiz. "Is she sick?" I play around, walking over to her.
She playfully rolled her eyes, "No, we're going to that shop remember, Puella Magi?" She reminded me as we both began to stroll down the empty sidewalk.
"Right," I tell her as the thought came back into my head, "Well, where is it?" I ask, and Haruhi stops in her track again, point upwards with her finger to the sign that read 'Puella Magi'. "Well aren't you Little Miss Sassy today." I smirk at her.
All she did was smile before walking into the shop.
A little bell rang signalling our entrance. The shop keeper just looked over at us with a confused look, blinking his eyes rapidly before narrowing them at us. Awkwardly, I looked away, and turn my gaze to the tonnes of statues of mythical creatures, lined up in rows like an army of mermaids, fairies, unicorns, dragons and the like. There were wind-chimes strung up around the place making pretty little twinkles from the push of the air con. Hanging beside them was a cluster of dream catchers, which varied in sizes and colours.
I can't help but stare in awe at how pretty the place is lined out. But it didn't stop at just statues, there were the classic costumes, but not those pathetic kiddie costumes or those slutty adult versions of our classic Disney characters. No, these were amazing, finely detailed costumes. One reached the knees, was a pastel green colour in, with sleaves that sat on the shoulders, with pale pink silk floating down from it.
"Haruhi, this place is really cool." I say in awe, looking around to find my friend running her hand over all the books, closely inspecting them.
"There's nothing here." She muttered, pulling out an old leather book, and scanning the first few pages. "They're all about vampires and werewolves. Not what we're looking for." The book was placed back onto the shelf as the store owner makes his way over, be-lining straight for us.
"How may I help you?" He asks. He was an older fellow, maybe late fifties or so, with short black hair, with small bit of white and dark tanned skin.
Haruhi and I turn to him, and that's when I noticed how short he was, like just at Haruhi's height. "Um hi, do you have any books on fairies, witches or wizards? Or anything to do with the word Asteria?" I ask him and he begins to think.
He struts over to shelf, pulling out two books. One with a new plastic cover, and the other a more roughly handled book. Both had a fairy on the cover, "Myths and ledgends, the fairy guide," He read out handing Haruhi the new book, "And Harry Potter." He handed me the new book. I already say Haruhi shake her head as she probably seen this book. I raise my eyebrows at my book before handing it back.
"Sorry, it wasn't exactly what we were looking for." I say and Haruhi hands back her book as well.
"That's alright. I'll be at counter." He says, quickly moving back behind the counter, but he seems to become a lot taller. He must be standing on a box or something, just to make himself look taller. His Japanese speaking ability was fairly good, but obviously it wasn't his first language.
Haruhi continued to look at the book, flicking though every pages with her eyes scanning every little piece of information. I on the other hand sigh and move to another part of the shop, specifically at the other beautifully sown dresses and costumes around the place.
It wasn't only clothes, there were beautiful masks too, win a whole range of colours and styles. I could only gape at how pretty they were. "Ah! My wife make these!" The keeper exclaims proudly, popping up behind me, giving me a surprise.
"Oh!" I say gasping, "Holy crap, she's amazing at it!" I gape at them. I picked up the red one, which was lined with black around the eyes and edge of the mask. At the corner of the eyes, close to the nose were god gems. Black swirls all swirling patters decorated it all.
"Come, I show you more." He says signalling me to come with his hand. I eagerly follow, wanting to see what else this lady has created. They were absolutely stunning. He took me to the dresses beside the counter, which he proudly presented. "These my wife Pajar make." He shows me his strapless pink dress, which had lace covering the stomach and hemming the bottom. There was a matching white hat, with fake marshmallows and sweets on it. The next one was the same colour, this one had a short skirt though, but around the waist there was a train, which reached the floor, covered in pink and white, fake lollies.
"does she have a thing for sweets?" I question and he smiles at me with small laugh.
"No, no, she bases her designs off books." He says moving onto the next one.
This one was a long, formal gown, probably fit for a queen or princess. Kinda similar to a wedding dress, except not a puffy. There were light blue gloves with a purple cuff around each wrist of the mannequin. A spiked light blue collar sat behind the head, slightly ice like. The top hugged the figures body, before turning into a light purple, hemmed skirt. But what caught my eye was the blue belt, with a golden buckle as decoration.
But it caught my eye. That circle of gold had a design engraved into it. It was of a six sided star, with two lots of vines swirling around it, starting from the bottom and winding its way up, one vine on one on the other side. "Did she design this one?" I ask eagerly, with a glint of hope in my eyes.
Haruhi came up to the two of us, "That's it, there is nothing left in Tokyo." Haruhi sighs looking at me disappointingly, but I don't mind right now. This is amazing.
The keeper nods eagerly, "She make this, from her favourite book!" He exclaims looking at his wife's work in awe.
I whip my head to him quickly, "What book?!"
I can see the stange look Haruhi is giving me, but she'll just have to wait. The shop keeper looks thoughtful before it seems like an idea forms in his head. "One moment," He says hurrying off into the door behind the counter, proably into the back room.
"What are you doing?" She questions me, looking at what I was looking before.
"Don't give up hope just yet." I smile at her but she still looks at me suriously as the shop keeper returns back with a small green book in his hand.
"Found it! She left it here by mistake." He says handing me the book.
Flipping the book around, I notice the snowflake and a leaf on the front, looking like they were falling together. "Frosted Leaves?" I question, as Haruhi peers at it over my shoulder to see it as well.
The owner nods his head at me, "She love this one. It is queens dress."
I couldn't help but grin at the symbol on the inside of the book. It's the same one matching the what's the belt. "Yes! This is it!" I shout jumping up into the air, holding it close to my chest! "Haruhi we found a connection! We found it!" I jump around shouting with excitement. Tears began to form in my eyes as Haruhi placed her hands on my shoulder, stopping my bouncing. She took the book from my hands, and began to inspect it as I talked to the keeper again. "How much for it?"
"Not for sale," He says with seriousness in his voice.
I just froze, "What?" My voice was highpitched and weak.
"It is my wifes book. The only one." He tells me, indicating to the green covered book.
My eyes widen at him, "Only one? How can there only be one?" Tears continued to form in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall…not yet anyway.
"The author only produced one of every book, to keep it mystical," Haruhi stated, nose deep in the book.
I look to her with wide eyes, "No, you're kidding me?"
"I am sorry, but you can't buy. It is so dear to my wife." Haruhi hands back the book to the keeper.
"Thank you sir, you have been very helpful." Haruhi thanks him, before pulling me out of the store and out of the store and onto the street.
I turn to her and rip my hand from her grasp. "What the hell was that!?" I shout at her, those tears actually beginning to fall. "We had a lead Haruhi! We had a link! And you just dragged me away from it!" I shouted to her. "HOW COULD YOU!?"
Haruhi just kept her calm, looking me dead in the eye, "I had to. We were going to be late."
Late? LATE? She was worried about being late? "Is that all you care about? Being late? School? That stupid host club? I can't belive you! I thought you were my friend!" I screamed at her. You could hear the shakiness in my voice trembling though as I collapse on my knees.
It was a link, my one chance and she just dragged me away from it. It's as if she doesn't care, I honestly doubt any of them do.
"Of course I care." She smiles at me, kneeling down to my height, "We all care for you. But right now you're acting like a spoilt brat."
I can't help but look up at her with shock, "What?"
She just narrows her eyes at me, "You're acting like a spoilt brat." She reiterates, "Now, we can come back at any time, and ask to read the book in the store. But, there is something I want to check out at home this afternoon first. If I'm wrong, then we'll come back to the store straight away. And you honestly shouldn't have asked to buy that book, it wasn't in the shop for sale to begin with.
All I can do is just blink at her before standing up.
She called me a spoilt brat for wanting to get that book. It was my one bloody way to get some sort of connection between the worlds. How else would they have gotten that symbol? Doesn't she know how much this means for me?

Haruhi P.O.V
…
She called me a spoilt brat for wanting to get that book. It was my one bloody way to get some sort of connection between the worlds. How else would they have gotten that symbol? Doesn't she know how much this means for me?
I roll my eyes at her, "I know this is important for you, but you really need to think logically. Another six hours isn't going to hurt anyone."
Isn't going to hurt anyone? HURT ANYONE?! I heard her voice ring in my head, and it was full of sorrow and panic.
"I have wasted days and days trying to figure out how the hell to get back. I'm down to about a week. If I can shut this down before Blayze even comes close to waking Chronous, then I might be able to sleep well at night!" I shouted at me, but I keep calm and collected. She may be annoyed, and terrified of what my happen, but if my theory is correct, and I'm almost certain that I am, she shouldn't need to be.
"We are going to school, now hurry up before we're late." I tell her, turning on my heel and strutting down the walkway. The slow, dragged footsteps I head behind me, indicates to me that she has decided to follow me, but it doesn't mean that she was pleased.
I swear to god if something happens in this time we're at school, I will cover you in lettuce and feed you to the snails. It will be a slow and painful death.
I sigh and roll my eyes at her antics. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Well, at least I hope I do. No, I'm positive about it. That writer, Koko T, I swear that I've heard that name before and I have a good idea as to where that was, but it couldn't hurt to be sure.
…
Georgia P.O.V
…
Guys, don't worry, I don't actually feel like murdering Haruhi, I'm just slightly annoyed that she was able to make me come to school even though there is something incredibly important going on. You know, like saving my REALM!? I'm sorry if I'm being a little salty about it…But I should trust Haruhi. She does know what she's doing, I just hope that she's right.
"Here's your costume Georgia," Tamaki slides in out of nowhere, holding a bag with his outstretched arm, "I'm sure you can hold down the law with this one." He winks at me and I couldn't help but arch my eyebrow and reluctantly take it.
"…Thanks…"
I head towards the change rooms, in the back corner, and cautiously look into the bag. A long sleeved police shirt was shirt was there, which, looked pretty normal, so I pulled off my black tank top and traded it for the formal police uniform. The next thing I pulled out was the socks which were long and black, that reached my knees. And let me tell you, they were super comfy. Like they were seriously soft, and seriously comfy. But, I should have looked at what they gave me in the ways of bottoms.
"How the frig am I meant to wear this thing?!" I shout barging out of the changing room and into the group of hosts, with the piece of clothing in my hand.
The twins look to me with eyebrows raised, "You pull it over your underwear?"
"I know how to wear a frigging skirt," I glare at the two, "Actually, you can barely wear this? It doesn't cover anything!" I shout at them all, as the twins begin to circle me, taking the super short skirt from my hand and holding it up for me to see.
Well, it seems like Hikaru is back to his old self. No sign of being affected from that island or anything. I've saved this idiot, what, twice in one day and he gets off without so much as a scratch, where as I had to stay in hospital, unconscious might I add.
"It's what our costume supplier had given us. I suggest you wear it." Kyoya says, a challenging look in his eye. "Or…" My eyebrows arch at the add on, "You could just leave those shorts on. Remember, if something were to stain, it will come out of your pay check." And there's that evil Kyoya. That little challenge he put to me about the skirt was something to get me to increase my debt, and he knows who much I love challenges…but not this time you Shadow King.
"I'll stick to the shorts." I creep away from the group putting back the skirt into the bag and packing the rest of my clothes in there as well. The last thing I do is place the police cap on my head. It basically looked like a regular black hat, just with the police symbol on it.
When I stepped out of the changing room, I was swarmed by Hikaru and Kaoru, who looked me up and down, before aaching a belt to my shorts. I'm not kidding guys, that legi just happened within two seconds. "Dudes! What the hell?" I shout looking down at my belt, which has a gun attached to it in a holster as well as hand cuffs on the other side.
"It completes the outfit!" They exclaim.
These people just seem to forget the fact that I was just released from the frigging hospital, and they're acting like nothing had ever happened! Just like when Honey and I were swept away at the resort. They all rushed to Honey's side, and whereas I was pushed to the side. Completely ignored.
"Don't touch me." I snap heading back into the main area, leaving the shocked Hikaru and Kaoru behind.
"Come on men! Into position!" Tamaki announces, causing the rest of the hosts to gather.
Haruhi and I both roll our eyes, both trying not to strangle Tamaki for forgetting that a quarter of the people here are females. Do the maths.
In a crowd we gathered, with Tamaki in the centre wearing a white police uniform, which was much fancier than ours which were all mixes of navy blue and black. We all prepared ourselves, as the squeak of the door handle caught our attention. Then once it opened, those random rose petals fell everywhere.
"Welcome!" We all exclaim with wide smiles, mine was forced though, but what we didn't expect was who was at the door.
A small girl, probably around six years old or something, with two blonde pig tails and fringe, and basically a small pink sailors costume, with a white shirt and pink skirt. Haruhi and I looked o one another with shock.
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" I ask her and she slowly nods, not taking her eyes off the kid.
"Little Kitty Cat," Tamaki takes over the situation, "Why have you come to see us today?" He asks and she looks over everyone excitedly.
"It's a reverse harem! This is a reverse harem!" She screams in delight, with a small pink blush forming on her cheeks, as she points to the lot of us. O`ur eyes widen at her as we all froze and paled. Reverse harem? REVERSE HAREM? Oh my god no! Just no!
"Did she say what I think she just said?" I ask as Tamaki begins to tap his left ear.
"That can't be right. I must have heard wrong. Maybe there's still some water in my ear from when I went swimming."
Hikaru popped up on Tamaki's side, rotating his finger in his ear as if to get the water out. "Water in the ear, that's gotta be it."
"I'm sure we just heard her wrong. There's no way this cute little girl said the words, reverse harem. Something's going on with our ears." Kaoru copies his brothers actions, as per ussal in every chapter. Well, for the most part anyway.
The little girl's giant blue eyes scanned over us, before tilting her head to the side and pointing a finger in the air, "There is debauchery here." The lot of us freeze once again. "Yay! There's debauchery here, isn't there?"
"How does a little girl even know this stuff! I barely know this stuff!" I whisper shout to Haruhi, who just shrugs at me.
"You're the glasses character." She points to Kyoya, "You are the boy lolita and the stoic type." Then to Mori and Honey, "Twincest." She points to Hikaru and Kaoru. By the way, I totally called this. "The bookworm." Pointing to Haruhi, and then finally to me. "And the girl with the secret."
I could feel Haruhi stiffen beside me, just as I do. The girl with the secret? The girl with the secret?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not good. How can this one little girl see right through that. This is not good!
Her big eyes move off me, and onto the blonde in front, who just flinches as her stare, preparing for the worst. But no one expected her to jump into his arms for a hug screaming, "Big brother? My brother's blond! You must be him!"
"You never told us about this!" Hikaru shouted, in complete shock.
"Since when do you have a little sister?" His brother shouts as well.
The look in Tamaki's eyes told me that he was just as shocked as the rest of us were, "I don't!" He argues, "I'm definitely an only child... at least as far as I know."
Oh damn, there's some family issues right there.
The little girl didn't want to let go of Tamaki's neck, hugging him for dear life. "The more I look at you, the two of you do look a lot alike. You are both blond after all." Honey decided to point out innocently.
I really don't see it. "I want to know if glasses character's superior to big brother." Kyoya says from behind me, so I turn around and smirk at him.
"I doubt it." I joke around. "the girl with the secret sounds cooler than both."
He matches my smirk and pushes his glasses up to glare them. "So what's your secret?" He asks me coolly, but slightly suspiciously too. I inwardly panic, what could my other 'secret' be?
"Everyone has their secrets, Kyoya. Even you do. It would be a shame if someone were to find them out, huh?" I say, almost evilly. Where the hell did that come from? I am nowhere near that smooth! Not that I have an issue with lying, its just an issue with a good lie. That wasn't even a lie! It was more a general statement.
I saw Kyoya's eyes from under his glasses, which showed a hint of amusement and a hint of worry. So, Kyoya has a big secret too. That'll be interesting leverage, if I can ever get to it.
I think Haruhi noticed how close Kyoya was beginning to question me, so she butted in, "But does it really matter? I can't believe she called me 'bookworm'."
"Says the girl who speed read through every library across the find one piece of information she needs." I say, and the look Kyoya gives reads that he's slightly impressed.
"Excuse me, you want to tell me your name, little one?" Tamaki says holding her out at arms width.
A big smile appears on her face as she proudly says her name, "Kirimi!"
"Kirimi?" Haruhi questions as a sign appears above her head, with a picture of raw fish in it. Is that a kind of fish?
"Kirimi-chan, I'm afraid you've made a mistake." Tamaki explains and you could see her face drop, and tears form in the corner of those eyes, "I'm really sorry, but I don't have a younger sister."
You could tell that that wasn't the answer that she wanted to hear and I sigh and roll my eyes, "Please don't turn on the waterworks."
"Are you sure?!" She almost cries, "You're blond just like me!"
"Oh no, Tamaki, don't you frigging -" I groan, rubbing my forehead.
"Oh, that's true. I give in! As of this moment, I'm your new big brother! You're so cute!" Tamaki cries as she spins her around and around in sheer delight.
…
Hello again! Like I said, I may not update for the next month and a half, cause of my exams and stuff so for now this is a little goodbye! I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks guys!
My question of the day is: Would you adopt Kirimi if she claimed you as her older brother/sister?
Until Next Time
Silva Out!
