HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAZZY! HERE IS YOUR BIRTHDAY PREZZIE! I JUST REALLY WANTED TO SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU AMAZING GIRL! Thank you for all your help with this story, and I honesty doubt that it would be the same without you! Everyone say happy birthday to this chick! She's amazing! Good luck with med school!

"Kotoko was your mother's name?" I raise my eyebrows, "How does that tie in with everything?"

Haruhi looks over the book, "Koko Tafijokou, the author, if you re-arrange those letters, it spells my mother's name."

Is that what she saw? Is that why she was spelling out those letters?

"Georgia," She looks to me with wide eyes before turning back to the book. "Look, the name changed!"

I narrow my eyes at the book, and sure enough it was changed. No longer was Koko Tafijokou written underneath the title. Instead, written in small, black ink, was the name 'Kotoko Fujioka'. "You mother…she's the Author?"

"How can that be? She's been on Earth for as long as I can remember, and my dad met her when they were teenagers!" She tried arguing.

"But wait, who's Koko Tafijokou then?" I ask in curiosity.

"They're one in the same." Winter says speaking up. "Well, Koko Tafijokou existed first. I knew I recognised you from somewhere. It just took a long time for me to realise." Haruhi and I look at one another wide-eyed, before turning towards Winter with folded arms.

"Tell us what you know." We both demanded simultaneously.

The small bird flutters over to sit in the middle of the table, looking up to us with almost sad eyes. "It was years ago." Her voice changed, her voice turned more proper, and elegant, rather than using that slang. "Back before you were even born, before either of you were born. There was a girl who came into the Asteria library every day without missing a beat. And she was young, maybe seven or eight, and all she would do was read, specifically about Earth." Winter turn her head towards Haruhi.

"That was your mother, Kotoko. Or at the Time, she was known as Koko." She looked down at the table cloth, "And we became good friends over the years she was there. She went to Asteria academy, in the United Lands. The very same that your non-enchanted parents enrolled you in. and she passed everything with flying colours. She became one of the most powerful Logic Enchanted Witch's that has ever existed."

Haruhi looked shocked. "She was?"

"No one past, or at that present point could match her in both skill and intellect." Winter praised, and Haruhi sat down, intently listening. "And she work her way into up the ranks into the castle. She became the Queen Lillyana's right hand woman."

She knew the Queen? My mother? My real mother?

A smile came to Haruhi's face, "Really? Was she that powerful?"

"That she was." Winter chirped, "And that's why she asked the Queen to make her dream come true. A visit to Earth."

"Is that why she stayed here?" I asked.

"Not exactly. When she was on Earth, her knowledge grew exponentially, giving herself a new Earth name, Kotoko, and she kept coming back and forth between realms, which no Enchanted had done so many times, at the allowance of the Queen of course. She even enrolled in a school, here in Tokyo, acting as a transfer student. But based on history, if an Elemental Enchanted Witch, Fairy or Wizard were to travel to Earth, they would either become extremely ill within a few days, or even die."

I feel like I knew about that, but what does that mean for me? I'm the fairy of the United Elements, does that mean I'm going to die here? But I've been here for months!

"Unless, you're enchanted by Logic, Love, Music, or Royal," She emphasised the word, probably knowing my stress, "blood, can stay for who knows how long. No-one stays on Earth long enough to find out. But Koko stayed, after years if traveling to and from Earth, she met someone one, and fell in love."

"My dad?"

Winter looks into Haruhi's eyes, "Ryoji Kamashi." She said with a nod, "Koko told the Queen of her new found love, and begged to let her stay on Earth with him. Queen Lillyana was strongly against the idea, but eventually, they came to a compromise. She let Koko create her own portals, using the Star of Asteria, usually worn by the Royal with the power of the United Elements."

That's right, The Queen had one of those around her neck constant. I just thought it was her favourite necklace. But doesn't that mean…?

"Is the necklace still on Earth?" Haruhi rushes ahead of me.

"No." I could feel my face drop at the simple word. "It was destroyed."

My hair falls in front of my face as I look down at the table. "No…" I breathed, barely audible.

"Why was it destroyed? That would sever her connection to Asteria." Haruhi pointed out, and Winter sighed.

"Rumours were going around the castle, saying that Koko was in danger. They were planning on stealing the Star of Asteria from around Koko's neck, using its power to attack Earth, and if worse comes to worse, other Realms. So the Queen got in contact with Koko, telling her of the rumours, and they both agreed on a plan. To destroy the necklace, or to break it at the very least."

"What do you mean break it? Like break its magic?" I question.

"In a sense. They split the necklace up, hiding the pieces around the Earth. I don't know where, and I don't know how many pieces. I just know, that after they broke it, we lost any connection with Koko we had. And now you're all caught up."

That was so much to take in. It was like a rollercoaster of emotions. I was shocked beyond belief to find out that Haruhi's mother is Koko the famous Philosopher from my realm, then amazed that she even the Queen, to hopeful that I have a way of getting home, but shattered inside finding out that that way was destroyed. We were so close!

"But now we know, not even the Logic Enchanted can survive on Earth for long periods of time."

"How old was my mother when she first came to Earth?" Haruhi asks with sad eyes.

"Fifteen."

"27 years. That's how long someone can last here."

Tears formed in those brown eyes of Haruhi's, and I hugged her tightly. Her mother died from being sick, from not being on Asteria for so long. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but here, the energy is different. Elementals can't survive here, maybe because the energy in their element varies from Earth to Asteria? Or, maybe you need all powers in balance? I don't know, I'm just rambling because there are about 500 things going around in my head.

Guys, I was so close once again. But now, I'm completely lost.

"We're right back to where we started." Haruhi broke the silence.

I can't imagine how hard this is for her. She just found out how great, and how powerful her mother was, and now…well we brought up her death again. What kind of thoughtless friends are we?

Haruhi sat there, fingers tracing the name on the book, her Mothers real name. A lost-in-thought- look present in her eye, before she shook it off as we were all interrupted by the random voice of Haruhi. "Teach me to be like her."

Winter and I looked as surprised at one another.

"I want to be like her. And if that means learning magic, then so be it." She smiled at us, almost as if she forgot about her mother's death. But rather, found something new to keep her focused and determined.

"Alright," I said smiling at her, holding out my hand for her to shake. Which she gladly accepts. "Deal."

Winter P.O.V

I couldn't believe that it took me this long to actually realise who Haruhi. For so long, I had looked at her, thinking she reminded me of someone. And then it did. During my time, I had met countless people, all who were different, but yet, I remembered them all. So I found it strange that I couldn't connect the dots between Koko and Haruhi.

That's why Haruhi had so much magical potential. She came from one of the most powerful Witch's I had ever seen. And it's just sitting there, inside her waiting to be used. And even with my countless years of experience in magic, I can't tell what power she has, whether she will be a witch or a fairy, and even if she can unlock her Enchanted mode. Like how Georgia transforms, will Haruhi be able to do the same?

But that is not the only thing on my mind.

After destroying and hiding the fragments of the Star of Asteria, we were left with nothing to help us get back. We can't destroy the pathway between worlds, simply because we don't even know where it is.

As much as it pains me to say…we may have to let Blayze through.

If he opened a portal here on Earth, we could use it to get back to Asteria. From there Georgia and I could fight with the Ghost rebels and take back the realm…

But…In my dreams, I see Haruhi. Haruhi, accompanied by seven others fighting in the realm, but it wasn't even against Blayze. It was much more powerful. But not even I know what it was. My dreams can be pretty vague, but in some ways accurate.

They just didn't prepare me for this.

I don't want for Georgia to face Blayze unprepared, so I'm teaching her all I can. She then relays it to Haruhi, who seems to be picking it up.

Well…she would be able to do it if she didn't just out of the way of everything Georgia throws at her.

It was smart on Georgia's behalf to teach the girl magic. It's so much stronger now than when I talked to her that day she found out about the existence of magic in the first place. Then it was raw, powerful and untouched. But now, even scraping the surface of her abilities, she's becoming as powerful as her mother was at that age…even though Koko practiced day in and day out.

The only thing is…Will she be even more powerful than her mother? Haruhi count's as a half enchanted, being born of a magical mother and a non-magical father. Magic genetics work much the same as human genetics with dominant and recessive genes. Two non-enchanted people can produce an enchanted child, and two enchanted people can produce a non-enchanted child.

Non-enchanted's are the rare mutations though, because it's such a small, recessive gene. Very rare, in some ways, similar to albino's.

But genetics aside. No one on earth can produce an enchanted child. Simply as magic is not meant to exist here. But, Haruhi is special. She could bring magic to Earth. Though, it may take a couple hundred generations, but it still is possible.

I want to know how the others are going back on Asteria as well. Have they been found? Now is not the time to be worrying about them. My primary focus should be these two girls.

"I really don't know!" Haruhi's voice broke through the afternoon, breathless from the constant training.

"Right now, you're wanting protection but you're scared." Georgia tried to explain, but it confused Haruhi even more.

"Of course I'm scared! There are things hurling at my face that could hurt me."

Georgia sighed and thought about how to word this. "That's because you don't think you can do it. You're scared that you will get hit, so you jump out of the way."

Haruhi shakes her head, "It's called human instinct."

"But you're half Enchanted." Georgia argued.

"I'm also half human." Haruhi countered with a valid argument. Maybe it's her human instincts that's holding her back from releasing her magic.

"Regardless. You have to know that you can protect yourself from what coming. You need to believe that you can, and you will."

"Easier said than done."

"True, but my statement still stands."

Haruhi sighs, leaning over resting her hands on her knees, breathing heavily. "Can we continue this tomorrow? I'm exhausted."

Magic is hard. Even I will admit it, and tiring. Depending on how long you've been learning, it takes different tired ness.

Take runners for example. If you had never done long distance in your life, and you were told to run a kilometre, it would be hard right? And tiring. But if someone who had been training for years, they'll find it a lot easier.

This is why Georgia isn't so tired, even though she's using more magic than Haruhi. She's trained herself for the past 3 years, so using the magic she is, isn't affecting her that much.

"Ok, tomorrow. I want you to get this."

Georgia P.O.V

Ok, so I know it's been a while since I've been back with the hosts, so you guys may have forgotten where I stormed out. A few chapters ago, I stormed out and only found out from Haruhi that they had hired Renge to change Nekozawa's character type so he can spend time with Kirimi. Rather than being creepy, gloomy and surrounded in darkness. And this has been going on for a few days now, around three. And I haven't spoken to Hikaru, and I'm all good with everyone else. Besides Renge - I still have issues with her.

And basically you've caught up.

"Your golden locks glow in the candlelight. Your skin like ivory. Your smile, mysterious as a flower illuminated by the moonlight." He's actually getting the hang of not being a black magic voodoo guy, "Such beauty, it's as if... you're a cursed wax doll! Shrouded in darkness and filled with malevolence!" Ok, maybe I spoke too soon.

Out of nowhere, Renge comes diving in, hitting Nekozawa repeatedly, "No way! You've got it all wrong! Numbskull! Who told you to say something like that!? How many times do I have to tell you!? You're not allowed to use any occult terms!" She shouted in her annoying, high pitched voice, whacking Nekozawa so hard that he flipped in the air 10 times before falling to the found.

"I'm really sorry." He apologised crawling on the ground, "But, my vocabulary is a bit limited without those words."

He really shouldn't have done that, because he was whacked to the ground with a newspaper, with the sign 'Spartan Education' appearing in front. "You're not allowed to talk back to me either. You got it? A princely character would never try to come up with a sissy excuse like that! Remember, it's okay to have a dark side. Some girls like that. Cute fruity male characters always go over well with young girls." She says showing pictures of your typical dark-sided character from an anime or something. "However, referencing anything related to the occult is out of the question! Mori senpai, go ahead and add that to the board."

She points out to Mori, standing next to the black board, filled with words that Nekozawa isn't allowed to use. "Wax... doll..." He says as he writes the words down the black board.

Kyoya and I sat off to the side, watch and smirking at the scene before us. Honey, the twins and Tamaki all sat with us. "Looks like Renge is really on top of things." Kyoya noted, smiling at the two.

"Yeah, she's on a roll." Honey cheered.

"Dude, these lines are so creep to use on an eight year kind." I say to Honey, who looks like his world was just turned upside down.

"Yeah, I'm not sure the lines she's feeding him are appropriate to use on a sister." Hikaru agrees with me, to which I raise an eyebrow.

Seriously? Does he think by agreeing with me that he'll get on my good side? He his name is engraved in stone on the bad side. It doesn't seem like it's coming off any time soon.

All the host, minus Haruhi sat in one corner of the room, watching this go on. I found that rather strange for Tamaki especially. "You're just going to sit and watch, boss?" Kaoru asks on the same wave length as me.

"Of course." The blonde say leaning back on the desk, "I don't wanna end up with a curse on me."

"Okay, it seems that you've memorized most of your new character lines. I think it's about time we moved on. Are you ready, senpai?" Renge screams in excitement, holding onto her weapon of choice…a torch.

"Oh, please no! It's too soon!" Nekozawa screamed, trying to hide from Renge, "I can't handle it yet!"

But does the deranged, character making chick listen? NOPE! "Evil beam!" She shouts, turning on the torch with the flick of a switch. The light surrounded Nekozawa, and he cowered in it. Screaming like a little girl. "Don't let a simple flashlight get the best of you! Work up your nerve! It's not physically affecting you. So that means it must be psychological! Even Edgar was able to face the cross once he built up his courage."

Does anyone know who Edgar is? Am I missing some sort of reference? Someone please explain this to me.

Renge turned off the light, allowing Nekozawa to rest, "But I thought you rejected the occult." He said, contradicting her sentence.

"Occult fiction is good. Occult fashion is not." She says as-a-matter-of-fact-ly.

"Oh, is that so?" Tamaki asks surprised.

"Don't judge him!" Hikaru began.

"You're the one who's always wearing weird cosplay." Kaoru continued.

Renge began to push him against Nekozawa's face. ."You've gotta put your heart into the delivery of these lines. You have to imagine that you're talking to Kirimi-chan."

"That's easy for you to say, but that doesn't look anything like her." And he was right. Like, look at the 'Kirimi dummy'. It's quite literally Tamaki's teddy bear, dressed in a short top and short skirt with blonde pig tales on top. I can easily understand where he's coming from.

"Would you quit complaining? Look at her through the eyes of your heart. The eyes of your heart!"

"That's right. Remember why you're doing this." The owner of the teddy bear steps up, giving the motivational speech. "It's all for Kirimi-Chan's sake. Just give it a shot. It'll look like her if you use your imagination."

But while he was talking, Hikaru and Kaoru appeared behind him, an evil gleam in their eyes, before disappearing off somewhere I couldn't see…please tell me they aren't doing anything stupid.

"Here you go, boss." They say presenting him a mannequin dressed in a frilly bikini, and a short brown haired wig.

"We got this one ready just for you."

"We think you should go ahead and confess your love to this Haruhi doll."

Oh my frigging god, those two are idiots. "What's the bet that Haruhi walks in in the next 10 seconds this is happening?" I smirk at Kyoya who smirks back.

"5 seconds. You're on." The two of us high five one another, as a sign of agree.

"His doll is... Haruhi?"

"Excuse me." A monotone, and slightly pissed off voice called from the door way. Even Honey and I jumped in surprise.

"Haruhi!? You are the real one! But when did you get here?" Tamaki began to panic.

Haruhi held a glare in her eye, staring down the blonde, "Kirimi-Chan came to the club room again today looking for you. If you've got time to do disgusting things like this, surely you can spare some time to hang out with her for a while."

Tamaki looked horrified, "Disgusting?"

"Why don't you keep her company, Haruhi?" Kyoya asks, but she doesn't show too much enthusiasm. "What's wrong? Don't you like children?"

"Well no, it's not that I don't like them or anything….She trails off and a bubble appeared above her head, showing Haruhi reading…for the lack of a better word, sexy manga to Kirimi. And you guys don't want to hear it. It's all about love slaves, and it's just disturbing for someone so little to be into that stuff. "She's made me read about 50 volumes of shojo manga to her over the last 3 days. And to my surprise, those things really are full of reverse harems and debauchery."

An innocent voice echoed throughout the big room, "Big brother?" The small blonde haired child looked around the room, before tears began to form in her baby blue eyes, "This room is dark and scary!"

Haruhi was by her side in an instant, "Oh, Kirimi-chan. I asked you to wait for me in the other room."

Tamaki took her outside the room, while Nekozawa looks over at him with a longing look. In his blue eyes, you could see how much he wanted to be Tamaki. "What's wrong, little one? There, there, calm down. You see? There is nothing to be afraid of. Here we go!" He says throwing her around in the air, coughing her to laugh and smile.

In one quick motion, the flashlight was taken from Renge's hand and into Nekozawa's.

"Senpai?"

Kyoya and I look at one another curiously, sitting up off the table, both watching what Nekozawa is doing. "I am a handsome, princely big brother!" He told himself, "I am a handsome, princely big brother! I am a handsome, princely big brother! I am a handsome, princely big brother!" He began saying over and over again, and we were all in shock. Tamaki even brought a curious Kirimi in to see, "I am a handsome, princely big brother! I am a handsome, princely big brother! And I'm not afraid of this flash light!" He screamed to the room, "Self-evil beam!"

And then he flicked the switch.

"Oh my god!" I gasp standing straighter, "He did it!"

"Nekozawa senpai's come a long way." Renge cheered, "He is able to shine a flashlight in his own face!"

The twins weren't as excited, pulling a party popper unenthusiastically, "Bravo, senpai, bravo." Their tone was monotonous, and faces were blank.

"You did it! Your little sister is going to be so thrilled." Tamaki rejoiced, placing Kirimi on the ground, "Look there, Kirimi-chan." He pointed to the senior with flashlight in his face, "That gentleman is your real big brother."

"Kirimi…" Nekozawa's haunting voice filled the room, and combined with his face under a flashlight, it terrified Kirimi.

She froze of the spot, and her eyes shrunk in terror. Her pale skin turned ghostly white, and you could visible see the terror and panic in her face. And then she ran, with her scream echoing down the halls of Ouran.

"That didn't go well." I whispered to Haruhi,

"Kirimi!" Nekozawa screamed after his sister, "Kirimi, wait!" But she was long gone, and he couldn't follow her in the light, so he let her go.

"So, I guess shining the flashlight in his face…"

"Scared and sent her running."

"Oh Kirimi," Nekozawa sighed.

I know what it's like to lose a sibling, for them to hate what you are. I walk to his side and place a gentle hand on his shoulder, "Nekozawa, are you-"

"I've had enough." He cut me off, "Even if I continue the special training, there's no guarantee that Kirimi will ever accept me...I think she'd be better off if you acted as her brother in my stead, Suou."

Something snapped inside me, "You're kidding me right?! You're her real big brother! Family is so important and you can't just trade it out like that! She can only have one and that's you! If you care about her, you will do whatever takes to win her over!" I couldn't tell whether he was taking what I said to heart, or he was just scared at the fact that I was yelling at him. But he looked like there were tears in his eyes.

"Hey, look." Hikaru caught out attention, peering behind the curtains to look through the window, "Kirimi-Chan hasn't made it out of the courtyard."

"But there's something down there with her." Kaoru says looking there as well, and I approach him.

There was something there, smaller than Kirimi. "It's a cat." I turn my nose up at it.

"Your family sure does love cats."

"Even strays warm up to you guys." The twins say one after another.

"What did you say?" Nekozawa asks in a panic.

I was pushed rudely, on my right shoulder. I wasn't prepared for it at all, so I stumbled over my feet. I flailed around, but someone caught me by wrapping their hands around me. It was Kaoru looking down at me with a surprised and slightly amused gleam in his eyes. He stood me up right, while I muttered a quick thanks.

"They're revered by our family, it's true. But Kirimi wouldn't participate in something like that. Something as occult as befriending a stray cat. Kirimi is afraid of animals and cats are the creatures she fears the most!"

We all looked at one another with shock, and I saw Honey and Mori already heading for the door, but failed to watch Nekozawa. He took a few steps back and ran at the window.

"No! Nekozawa, don't!" I shouted as he ran straight at the window, shattering it with his momentum. I reached out to grab him, but my fingertips only brushed the back of his collar. Glass flew past me, hitting me in the cheek, and I hissed in pain, stopping right at the edge of the broken window…But my momentum kept me going, and I tried to keep my balance to stop me from falling over, putting my hand on the side of the window.

"Georgia!" Kaoru shouted behind me, before his hand grabs my own, pulling me backwards, onto stable ground. "You're bleeding!" He exclaimed, grabbing my cradled hand from close to my chest, but I pulled it back.

"I'm fine." I say, "I'm just gonna wash it off." I stood, with Kaoru by my side, and everyone worried about both Nekozawa and I. But, they don't need to. "Guys! Go help Nekozawa! He needs his cloak."

Kaoru and I disappeared into the kitchen, whilst Tamaki, Kyoya and Mori ran to the senior's side.

"Would you look at that?" I hear Honey say in awe from outside the Kitchen.

"This is all thanks to my special training." Renge praises herself, and I scoff heading towards the tap.

"More like his love for his sister." I mutter, turning the silver handle so cold water rushes out. I place my left hand under the running water, and it burned. I hissed, sucking in air though my teeth as Kaoru places the first aid kit on the sink beside me.

"You really care about family, don't you?" Kaoru asks, opening the kit, pulling out a bandage and cotton pads.

I squeeze my hand harder under the tap water, pushing out excess blood, watching the red liquid be carried down the drain. "I do."

"Does that mean you have a brother or sister?" He asks, taking my hand out of the water, patting it down with the pads.

Didn't Hikaru tell him? I was so sure that he would, they are twins after all. And from what I've found, they tell each other everything. "I don't want to talk about it."

He eyed me suspiciously, looking down at me, because he is a little bit taller. A maybe like five/ten centimetres taller than me. But he wasn't intimidating, and the look he gave told me that he didn't want to press the subject. "Okaaay." He dragged out the word. "Your cut already looks better. Like it's healing over." He looks down at my wrist, marvelled.

My eyes widened and my heartbeat picked up. My magic was healing me without me even realising this can't be good! Why is that happening? DO you guys remember how much of a struggle it was to heal that little kid a few chapters ago? That was so hard and I was actually trying to cure him, but I wasn't even thinking about fixing my hand... "Oh really? Well, you know what they say. The hands heal quickly, or whatever." I quickly blurt out, before I begin to wrap the bandage myself, and he just chuckles.

"Chill. I'm only mucking around…"

I stop when he took the bandage off me, and continued to do it himself, "You know you can get help sometimes."

"What?"

"I'm just saying, you don't seem to ask us when you need help. We're here for you, we're like a family. The host club that is." He says, clipping the bandage in place.

"I don't need help." I narrow my eyes at him.

Kaoru just seems to laugh it off, "Whatever you say."

His amber eyes glance over my shoulder, watching as someone entered the room. "Are you ok?" Hikaru's voice filled my ears.

I sigh and roll my eyes. "I'm fine. Would you guys quit worrying about me?" I take back my wrist from Kaoru's hand, closing the first aid box and putting it away. But the twins didn't move. They stood together, blocking my exit. They mimicked each other's pose. Arms folded with a look of disbelief, mixed with one of those 'are-you-kidding-me' looks. "Guys, seriously. I will be fine. It'll be gone in the next few days."

They raise their eyebrows as is not to believe me. "That's not the point."

You know, I'm really glad that Kaoru is here, otherwise I would have kicked Hikaru into Oblivion by now. But it also is annoying me that Kaoru is acting like Hikaru. Being stubborn and not leaving me alone when I tell them everything is fine. "Then what is the point?" They were both silent, looking at me with eyebrows raised, as if their point was obvious, but neither refused to say another word. "That's what I thought."

I know this is at the end but I just wanted to make sure that message wasn't missed at the top!
