Ryo looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She wore a light blue dress and had her hair styled as best as she could.

"Ryoko." Rio said walking in.

"Oniisan?"

"You shouldn't go."

"Uh…"

"But if you really want to then we will…." Rio grumbled. "One night won't kill us."

Ryo blinked and smiled. "Thanks Rio-Onii. You're the best big brother ever." She hugged him then hurried down the stairs.

"Ryo-Chan you look so nice!" Honey laughed hopping up and down.

Ryo smiled and nodded. "Thanks Honey-Senpai. You look nice too. Hi Mori-Senpai." The three, and Rio, were standing at the front door to the hall where the party was being held. "So who's here?"

"Everyone from the club and a few of the students. You're early!"

Rio grunted. "Let's go inside Ryoko."

"Alright Oniisan. See you later Mori and Honey-Senpai." She waved and followed Rio inside. She smiled happily felling extremely happy.

"Yo!" The twins waved walking up. "And welcome."

Rio grunted as Ryo laughed. "Hey you two. The party looks great. I'm glad we were able to come."

"Yeah. The king will sure be glad. He's around here somewhere with the shadow king."

"Hmm?" Rio blinked, but was answered as Tamaki fluttered over and Kyouya followed calmly.

"RYO!" Tamaki smiled. "So great that you were able to come! And Rio it's so nice to see you as well."

Rio frowned and glared at Tamaki, but the blond ignored him. "Ryo you have to come and try some of the food. It's delicious!"

"Sure." She laughed happily and followed Tamaki off towards the food table.

Rio followed silently but blinked as he nearly ran into Mori. "Takashi." He nodded glancing past after Ryo.

"Rio, you should let Ryo be." Mori said calmly.

"Yeah, she's old enough to make her own decisions." Honey said happily.

"It's complicated." Rio growled at his two classmates. "I don't want to talk about it and it is none of your business." He tried to push past Mori.

"But it is our business." Honey frowned. "You and Ryo-Chan are our friends."

"Mitsukuni." Rio frowned looking at the short boy; he sighed and looked over at Ryo who was laughing at Tamaki as he slipped. "I'm just worried about her. She needs to be careful about who she spends her time with."

"Does this have any thing to do with your family business?" Honey asked.

"… Please don't tell anyone or talk about it, especially Ryo." Rio sighed.

Mori grunted as Honey nodded. "Okay."

"Tamaki-Senpai you're a klutz."

Tamaki laughed as Ryo helped him up. "I bet you it was some sort of trick from those little demons."

"How could they do anything from so far away?" She said pointing to where the two were bugging the class president.

"I just know they did!" Tamaki said acting insane.

"Senpai please calm down." Haruhi said walking up. She was dressed in a suit and looked like a feminine boy.

"Hey Haruhi." Ryo smiled. "What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm glad you were able to come. We weren't sure Rio-Senpai would let you."

"It was all thanks to Mom." Ryo laughed. "But I have to thank you guys, if you hadn't come she wouldn't have known."

"Why didn't you tell her yourself?" Tamaki asked.

"It slipped my mind. Plus Rio-Onii was set on us not coming so I didn't even think of bringing it up."

Tamaki nodded and snuck a peek at Rio, Honey and Mori. Good the plan has started. He smiled mischievously and Ryo blinked. "Tamaki-Senpai?"

"Do you want to dance Ryoko-hime?" He bowed slightly.

"No thanks." She said calmly leaving Tamaki stunned. "Hey Haruhi do you want to go check the refreshments?"

"Sure." Haruhi nodded.

Tamaki tensed that messed up the plan. There was no way he could set the dominions into effect if she wouldn't dance. He looked around for help. He made eye contact with Kyouya.

"Hey girls!" Hikaru and Kaoru said together walking up to Haruhi and Ryo. "Wanna dance?"

"Sure." Ryo laughed. "Come on Haruhi." She grabbed one of their arms. "Hikaru."

"Wrong." He smirked.

"Oh well. Sorry Kaoru."

"It's alright." He laughed. He glanced over then looked back as they danced.

"Whats wrong Kaoru?"

"Nothing." He smiled. Ryo blinked confused and her confusion grew as Kyouya's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Everyone please separate. Girls on the left boys on the right. "Well I'll be seeing you Ryo." Kaoru smiled pulling away and walking after his brother. "Ready?" He whispered.

"You bet." They both looked over as Ryo and Haruhi stood in the mix of girls.

"All right. All girls please move three spaces to the left. Top three girls move to the other side please." Kyouya said calmly. All the girls followed his orders. "Now please walk forward. Whoever is in front of you is your dance partner for the next dance."

Ryo blinked as she stepped up to a random guy who she had never seen before. "Hello."

"Hi." He grumbled. "I'm Tren."

"Ryoko, but everyone calls me Ryo." She smiled calmly as they started dancing. As they danced he started to relax and they began to share their hobbies and other little tidbits about themselves.

As the song ended they walked off towards the refreshment table still talking about one of the teachers. "I really think he needs to choose a different color of shirt."

"Black would work better, yellow just doesn't suit him." Tren nodded.

"Oh yes." She laughed happily. "And no stripes. Definitely no stripes."

"Ryoko." Rio said walking up behind her.

"Oh hi Oniisan." Ryo said still laughing. "Tren and I are just talking about one of our teachers. He wears the most hideous ties to work. They just don't work for him."

"I cant believe he even thinks of wearing them. Ryo was suggesting that we buy him a new one."

"Ryo?" Rio frowned.

"It wouldn't cost much." She smiled. "I'm sure we could get everyone in the class to pitch in."

"I know I would." Tren laughed. "Don't let the twins go shopping for it though."

"Of course not. They would get worse ties."

Tren laughed. "Those two are hilarious but dangerous at times."

"Oh yes. But they can be sweet at times as well."

"I've yet to see that!"

Rio frowned looking between the two. "Ryoko can I talk to you?"

"Can it wait till later Onii-san?" She frowned. "We're having a fun conversation."

He blinked shocked and backed off a bit. He watched from a bit away and frowned as Kyouya walked up next to him. "What do you want?"

"Ryoko is an amazing girl... And she's a very kind friend."

"What do you know?!" He growled protectively.

"I know that for the last week she has been extremely kind, and everyone likes her... as a friend." He said calmly.

Rio paused and glanced over. Instead of seeing Ryo and a guy he saw Ryo and a friend. "Oh... You are very smart... Kyouya right..."

"Yes." He said calmly. "Kyouya Ootori."

"Ootori... Oh I know your older brothers. Good men."

Kyoyua flinched but remained calm. "Yes well... I have other duties to attend to... I hope you will rethink your over protective nature." He walked off.

Rio looked back at his sister and sighed. "I'm going to regret this..."
