Hey Guys! Nice to see you all again! This chapter, it's going to be a tad different to what I'm used to, and probably you guys too, but I hope you enjoy anyway!
Special Thanks to: Shiranai Atsune, LovelySakura777, LucilleDenware for joining this family! Welcome!
Fosxchick1: Here's what happens next!
TheFranticShipper: No problem! I'm glad you like this!
Guest: Hello again! No problem darling, I'm so glad that you enjoy it! It's reviews like this and people like you who make me want to write more and better! You're really sweet! It'd be great to hea from you again this chapter! (don't feel obliged to just because I said it!) And my favourite host is probably Hikaru. I don't really know why (even though he technically isn't a host on his own – it's a duo act) but I always just found him very interesting and I know which is which whenever I see him. But, coming in a close second, it'd probably be Kyoya. He's pretty cool too.
Animelover: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYY! Here's your update, on time (hopefully – I'm trying to update on the 26th of every month!) I do in fact have wattpad! I have the same name and everything, but just different stories! Basically they're he stories I write on my phone. But I'll totally check out your story, but first I might need to watch My Hero Academia…BUT! I have followed you already, so I do have the story ready to go for when I do! So thank you!
DarkSideOfWonderland: Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUNNN!
Guest: Thank you so much! I'll slowly update my ROTG fanfic, I just kinda want to re write it first, because I started it on my ipod when I was 14ish. So spelling and grammar kinda sucked, but I'm making it better! I've never actually heard of the Lunar Chronicles, but it does look rather interesting! AND OH MY GOD I LOOOOOOOOOVE MIRACULOUS! IT'S HONESTLY ONE OF MY OBSESSIONS RIGHT NOW! It's great that communities cross over like this! And it's so sweet that you were trying to make my life happier! Thank you so much! It makes me so happy!

Asteria
…
"Are you sure it's here?"
Pushing a branch from his way, Blayze looked at the mountain in both awe and confusion. It was the tallest mountain in the realm, but also one of the most untouched. Carciare Mountain sat behind the castle, giving it the shadow in the morning, and letting it see the sun at night. It's an important one, but how could this be the place it's looking for?
His blonde associate nodded, "It's here. It's just a bit hidden."
"A bit hidden?" Blayze arched an eyebrow, "There are no forms of life anywhere in here. My magic is picking up nothing."
"It's here, sir." Lachy cringed at the word, but he didn't want to annoy the man before him. After all, he was currently the most powerful in the kingdom. And you really don't want to make him mad.
Once again, the blonde looked at the messy notes scribbled on the pieces of paper which he took from Che's study. Those notes lead them here, which was a start. But he was prepared.
"Then where is it?" He said, hands balling into fists. Fire erupted from his hand, and he sent it straight at the side of the mountain, burning any and all life forms, so it was just clear rock. "It didn't even melt the rock."
"Not even an Earth Enchanted could move that rock," With a smirk, Lachy reached into his pocket, "Here, take this before you burn the rest of the forest down." He tosses the object to his King, who caught it with ease, before exclaiming at what it was.
"The pendant of Asteria? How will this help?" He queried, looking at the pendant that resembled a six sided star, "Last I saw it was locked away in my vault, after I took it away from the King."
Lachy arched an eyebrow, with a cheeky smirk planted on his face, "It's a magical pendant that had been passed down from generation to generation of the royal family. And if my research is correct," He flicked open his book of notes, scanning for something special. "You say the magic words and abra cadabra, door's open."
Blayze almost glared at him, but was rather impressed, "So you stole from me?"
"It's not stealing if you give it back. Now hurry up and use it."
The king arched an eyebrow, "Now you're ordering me around?"
Lachy only found it amusing, "Do you want Chronos or not?"
With a sigh, Blayze held the amulet to the sky, with a light glimmering off it. "Now what?" He looked over his shoulder at the blonde, who only smirked holding up his book.
He started glowing, letting off a pale yellow light, "la magie cachée révèle et montre, ce que je cherche, ce que je dois savoir."
Blayze felt the amulet in his hand grow warmer as the sunlight began to be absorbed into it. The star in the centre began to glow brighter and brighter, holding more and more sunlight in it.
"Briser la magie cachée!" Lachlan shouted, eyes glowing in a bright light.
The star in the centre began to light up, before light burst out of it, hitting the mountain straight on. The light basically fizzled away any sort of rock that was there before. A clean cut doorway opened up, seeming like it reached the centre of the mountain.
"Well, that looks like a long walk," Blayze mutters, smirking, noticing the faint blue light emitting from the end of it, "Well done Comport."
Lachy just looked at his work, grinning at what he had accomplished, "Fuck I'm good." He cheered himself on, earning an eye roll from the King.
Blayze opened his palm, letting a small flame ignite, before it floated off in front of him. "Let's go."
…
Earth, Georgia's P.O.V
…
A day had passed since I left RoseBlade, and getting back to the holidays where I just did nothing was really odd. There isn't even any crime for me to go and fight, and no matter how much I search the city, everything is quiet.
So, because I was so bored, I asked Haruhi as to what to do. She suggested that we visit the expo that's going on at the big shopping centre. People from all over the places are coming together to display their stuff for people to come. It's like the markets, but inside.
We walked there, because it really wasn't very far away, plus, whenever you walk with someone it makes it so much more fun.
You guys probably want to know about what happened at RoseBlade right? After Ren…you know, did that. Well, from what you saw, I basically collapsed into Hikaru's arms. It just felt like he was there to protect me. Anyway, enough of that. Ren was taken away by the police, pretty much screaming about who I am, or should I say what I am. No one believed him obviously, but what if they had?
"You should really stop thinking about that." Haruhi broke through my thoughts.
I sigh, "But he was so close to finding out! How could I not think about it?"
"He did find out though." She points out, making my stomach knot.
"I know."
But then with Hikaru…why would I run to him? Why do I feel safe in his arms? I can't like him, I know what liking someone feels like, and it's not this. So then what is it?
Remember when I went to find Haruhi two nights ago? It was then that something clicked, when I saw him, holding Haruhi so protectively, I was almost jealous, but it was different. He held her like, I don't know, a best friend I guess? Or maybe a little sister. The way he held the two of us, it was different each time. But why?
There was a small silence hanging in the air between the two of us. "We're almost there." I point out, noticing the huge signs blowing in the wind. Looking closer I noticed something on them, it was an advertisement for a show that's performing this afternoon, "Ouran Host Club Rangers? Seriously?"
"I think Renge has something to do with that." Haruhi notices the girl in question prancing around a table with her quite unique costume.
So, Renge is really into cosplay. But actually doing a performance, based off the Host Club? And making it a Power Rangers knock off? That's just weird, "Let's go in the other way…"
Instead of going past Renge, we went into through the food court. "Dude, I'm so craving a chocolate thick-shake right now. But slack to wait in that line." I complain, taking a seat opposite the shop.
"You're always lazy." Haruhi smiles, looking back at the line, "But I agree with you on that one."
"Well hey, at least we don't have host club today." I smile with relief, "I thought going to RoseBlade I'd get away from them. It's nice not having the boys around."
"Agreed," She smiles, "Tamaki's fun and all, but, I'm always dragged around and I don't have time to study anymore. Between this magic, keeping the house running and the host club, I don't have much time for studying. My goal at Ouran was to become a lawyer like my Mum."
With distant eyes, Haruhi looks at her hand. So I take her hand in mine, "You will be, no sweat. You got this" I smile, "You're totally right the boys though."
"One chocolate thick-shake?" The waitress asked, holding it on a tray standing at our table.
We both look at her rather confused, "Sorry, not us. We didn't order one." I decline, but she places it on the table, on top of a napkin.
"It's been ordered to your table, nothing I can do." She shrugged, almost mischievously before running back behind the counter to continue serving.
I shrug at Haruhi, "Well that was weird." I say picking up the drink and pressing it to my lips, whilst Haruhi takes the napkin. You guys know that feeling when you drink something sweet and then it just kinda brings back your energy and makes you feel alive? Yeah, I have that feeling. And it's good.
Haruhi hums, looking at the napkin, "One thick shake for one thicc girl." She said staring at the napkin, "And 'thick' is spelt with two 'C's."
I almost spat out my drink, "What?" I put the drink down, taking the napkin from her. Yep, that sentence was there, like, spelt the same. "Well, this is classy." My eyes roll, before we take a look around the area. "I can't see anyone who wrote it."
"Look, over there. Those guys are looking at us." She indicates the two guys across the room, who give a few sneaky glances our way. One had long curly hair, almost reaching his shoulders, and bubble like eyes. The other, who was smirking at me, had honestly stunning dark blue eyes, sandy blonde hair, styled to the right. Both boys were very built, and might I say good looking, however, not good enough for me to fall for some trick like this.
My eyes locked with the dark blue ones, before he smirked giving me a small wink. "Oh god…" I groan, turning back to Haruhi, "And I thought our boys were bad."
I stood up, ready to leave, placing the chocolate thick shake back on the table. I'm kinda turned off by it now.
"Where are you going girl?" A smooth voice entered my ears, so I turn to the source. He was really close to me.
"Uh," I struggled to get those words out, "We're just going shopping." I point my finger behind me, and Haruhi seems a little concerned with the situation, eyes both boys off suspiciously.
"How about we come with you?" He nods to his other friend who just stood behind him, "You know, we bought you that thick-shake."
I put my hand up, "No, we're good thanks." And try pushing Haruhi away from the situation. "We're going now, bye." I stammer out quickly, but he took another step forward, towards me.
In the corner of my eye, I saw him reaching for me, but I quickly jerked my arm away. "Come on babe." I felt my stomach drop. What Ren did, or at least tried to do it's still fresh in my mind, and I don't want it to happen again. I don't know if I could handle it again. "What about your little friend, what's she got to say?"
He reached out for me again, but this time, something stopped him. "I wouldn't touch her if you want to keep that arm."
I looked up, seeing a girl, with sparkling green eyes, dressed in almost all black. But what was most distinguishing was her long, dark red hair. It almost puts the Fire Twins to shame.
"N-Niko..?" The guy managed to stammer out, fear in his eyes, "What are you doing here?"
She arched an eyebrow, grabbing him by the arm and twisting it behind his back with ease, "Am I not allowed to be at a shopping expo?" She growled in his ear before pushing him forward, stumbling into his friend before they both hit the ground. "Scram." She spat, before hitting the thick-shake at them, "And don't forget your stupid pick up line." The drink splashes all over them before everyone in the area begins to laugh.
She pushes us out of the food court, and towards the first floor of the expo. "Thank you for helping us." Haruhi smiles, thanking the girl.
"Don't mention it." She shrugs it off, "The guy's dick, does it with every second girl that walks in."
I arch an eyebrow, "Seriously?"
"Yep. You kinda get sick of seeing happen over and over again." She shrugged, walking past the jewellery stand, eyeing everything off with almost a greedy look.
I step in between her view and her view of the stall, "I'm Georgia," I say putting out my hand for her to shake, which she does, a smirk creeping on her face. I swear I've seen this girl before, but I don't really know where. She looks so familiar, I don't feel like I'd forget someone with such an incredible hair colour. I think her hair is even longer than mine. Those green eyes however, they're bugging me. She's hiding something, and I think I've seen them before.
She arches an eyebrow, "Niko." She has a firm shake, but it was almost reluctant. I managed to catch a glimpse of a gold and red ring on her hand. But she tucked her hands back into the pockets of her shorts, before I could get a good look.
She really has this 'I-don't-care' attitude, which I kinda like, but I don't necessarily trust.
Haruhi just waves, introducing herself politely, "Haruhi Fujioka. Nice to meet you Niko."
The three of us continue walking, "So, where do you go to school?" I ask, knowing full well that she doesn't go to Ouran.
"Look, I just saved your asses, that doesn't mean that we're friends. Don't get all buddy-buddy on me."
I stop and turn around, "I'm just being nice." My tone was almost venomous.
"Sure sweetheart. But 'nice'," She uses her air quotes around the word, "Doesn't mean we can braid each-others hair and sit around talking about boys."
I step closer to her folding my arms, "I didn't expect to braid your hair anytime soon."
"Good, because it's never going to happen."
I roll my eyes, "Can you hear us? We're arguing about braiding each other's hair!"
Haruhi cleared her throat from off the two side of us, "If you two are done with a pointless conversation, here," She thrusts churros into both of our hands. Mine was covered in chocolate whilst Niko's was just plain, "Sorry Niko, I wasn't sure what flavour you liked, so I just got the plain one." She smiled sweetly, as Niko just looked at her churro in awe.
"You got this for me?" She ask, looking between Haruhi and the Churro, "Really?"
…
Third Person P.O.V
…
She was taken back by the kindness of the young girl, seeing nothing but pure kindness in here doe-like eyes. "You got this for me?" She glanced between the churro and Haruhi, almost to work out if it was real, "Really?"
"I mean, it's the least I could do." Haruhi smiles, taking a bite of her own.
She started to laugh, a low one from the back of her throat, "Bribing me won't work either."
Haruhi suddenly freezes, "Bribing? I don't have reason to bribe you." She took another bite of her churro.
Niko felt a knot in her stomach, this girl, her eyes were so pure. So kind, there was nothing hiding there. Georgia on the other hand, she was hiding something, or trying to at least. It's mistrust. She didn't trust Niko, but the feeling was mutual. Not that she cared, she doesn't really need both their trust, only one. "Oh," She stammered out.
"How about you come around with us? The expo looks really good this month."
Niko smirked, "Sure, not like I've got anything better to do." With a shrug, she takes a bite into her churro, almost like she hadn't eaten before.
…
Georgia P.O.V
…
She must really like that churro.
Niko just kinda just began shoving it in her face, and ate it quicker than I could.
"Excuse me!" Someone called out, making us all stop in confusion, "Sorry to bother you but I don't suppose you saw a wallet when you were at the food court?" A man come running up to us, a panicked look in his eye. "I saw you guys outside the McWonderland, and that was the last place I remember having it. I was sitting at a table next to you."
I stood there, trying to think back. I remember him being close to one of our tables, and I remember seeing him in line, but not a wallet, "No sorry, not a wallet." I shake my head, with Haruhi agreeing with me.
"That's ok, Thank you anyway." He says running offer in another direction, looking around frantically.
I turn to Haruhi, "Well, that was weird." I shrug, walking in line with Haruhi and Niko following close behind.
A kid ran past us, screaming and crying that he saw a monster, "Oh shut up…" I heard Niko grumble under her breath, rolling her eyes at the kid.
Is it bad that I kind of agree with her? Kids are annoying, and especially if they're crying.
"Kyoya senpai?" Haruhi stops suddenly, causing me to as well. "I didn't expect to see you here today."
"What are you doing out of bed this early?" I question, looking at him suspiciously.
He stood tall, a hand to his chin, looking over us curiously. "How much money do you both have on you?"
…
Niko walked by me as we followed Kyoya and Haruhi back to McWonderland, "So, who's that exactly?" She questioned, looking him up and down, a smirk planted on her face.
"That's Kyoya. He kinda manages this club that Haruhi and I work for."
"He's hot." She plainly states, and I see Kyoya glance over his shoulder, seemingly paying attention. There was no Kyoya smirk, only a glare, an almost death glare. Niko rolled her eyes, "Someone's cranky."
I sigh, watching as Kyoya and Haruhi almost reached the front of the line, ready to order food, "Kyoya senpai, are you sure this is where you want to eat? There are much nicer restaurants to choose from upstairs."
Haruhi gave him the better offer, but he declined, "Well, you both don't have much on you, so our choices are limited. Just be sure to get a receipt." His eyes went dark, "Tamaki will reimburse you tenfold."
Haruhi and I took a step back, and Haruhi clutched her purse tightly. A giant sweat drop appeared on her forehead, "How did this happen?" She sighed to me, "All I wanted was a little peek at the products expo. Why did we have to run into Kyoya senpai?"
"Tell me about it. I didn't expect to see the Shadow King on the last day of summer holidays,"
"Haruhi, I think it's our turn. How do I order?" Haruhi is summoned to the front counter
"Can you get me some chips too Haruhi?" I say throwing a few coins into her hands before she walked off.
There was an empty table nearby, so I went and sat at it. I arch an eyebrow, watching as Niko walk over to the same table, spun the chair around and sit on it backwards. You know, like how those stereotypical cool kids would sit. "So, why are you still around?" I ask, leaning back in my chair.
She smirks at me, "Ru asked me to come around the expo." She raised her eyebrow, "What's wrong with that?"
Guys, I don't know if I trust her. She seems shadier than the twins, and that's hard to do. They're the twins for crying out loud. "Ru?" I question, what kind of name is Ru?
"Sort for Haruhi. I didn't think you were so stupid that you couldn't recognise your own friend's name." Niko laughed, before smirking at me, "I'll dumb things down for ya next time kid."
"Kyoya senpai, just because you're in a bad mood today, doesn't give you the right to go around talking to people like that. The poor girl was just doing her job." Haruhi scolds as she walked over to us, placing the tray of food on the table.
AND THERE ARE CHIPS THERE! OMG Haruhi! You're the best and I love you!
Kyoya rolled his eyes, before opening the burger, "Her job is to serve us a food, not to irritate me with some weak sales pitch." He took a bite, and Haruhi just kinda stared at him, "Now what?"
Haruhi shook her head, "Nothing. I just don't think I've ever actually seen you eat before. Somehow I thought your experience would be more refine. I'm surprised food like this even appeals to you."
By the look in his eyes, Kyoya was not even amused by the meal, but I guess food is food, "It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. No doubt you'll say I'm callous for admitting it, since you bought this tripe. This place isn't very appealing either, there's spilt milk on the floor over there as it still hasn't been taken care of.
"Of course, I won't." Haruhi shook her head, before sighing, "I will think it though."
