Ryo smiled as she walked into the club room. "Hey everyone!" She waved. "How was everyone's break?"
"It was great." Tsukiko waved. "I think I ate a mountain of sweets!" She chuckled. "I bet I ate more sweets than Honey."
"I doubt it." Everyone laughed.
"Haruhi was kidnapped when we went to the shrine." Kaoru said looking over. "You all missed it."
"WHAT!?" Luc gasped. "Haruhi are you okay?!"
"Yeah I'm fine; it was all just a little misunderstanding." Haruhi shrugged. "It was just a small event. I was fine."
"That's good." Ryo sighed and relaxed. "I'm glad you are okay."
"We all are." Yukki smiled.
"It would be horrible if something happened to you." Serenity nodded. "We'd all be worried about you if you were hurt or worse."
"It was a small event." Haruhi laughed nervously. "And everything turned out fine."
"It was a bit troublesome." Kyouya said looking at his notes. "Now we should plan for the next meeting."
"Right." Everyone nodded. "Where is Tamaki?" Haruhi asked looking around. Hikaru eyed Haruhi, and Serenity eyed Hikaru.
"He's at a meeting with his father. Does anyone have any ideas?" Kyouya asked.
"Why don't we have a big new year's event?" Ryo suggested. "We can have a big party with games and everything." She smiled. "It would be tons of fun."
"What does everyone think?" Kyouya looked over.
"LOTS OF SWEETS!" Honey and Tsukiko chanted together.
"Sounds like lots of fun." Serenity smiled. "Hikaru, we should set up some pranks for when Tamaki comes."
Hikaru grinned. "Yeah." He headed over towards one of the areas that Tamaki usually hung out in. "I've got a great idea!"
"Are you going to help, Kaoru?" Luc asked walking over. "Setting up the prank?"
"No." Kaoru said calmly. "I wanted to show you this new cd that I got." He held up the cd case. "I found it while I was shopping the other day."
"OH!" Luc smiled. "Let me see!"
Ryo smiled as she watched everyone move about to relax by themselves. "I guess we'll plan tomorrow." She said glancing over at Kyouya. "Hopefully Tamaki will be able to make it then."
"I'll let him know." Kyouya said calmly. "That way he knows to plan ahead… Of course he seemed a little off today."
"Probably because of what happened with Hikaru."
"That or the shrine visit." Kyouya said calmly. "I can tell you if you want to know." Ryo nodded and sat down next to Kyouya. He started to tell her about Haruhi getting kidnapped and how worried Tamaki had been. Ryo listened calmly and smiled.
"It sounds like Tamaki might be starting to realize his feelings."
"I don't believe that yet." Kyouya said calmly. "He's not that bright."
Ryo laughed happily. "That is true." She glanced over at where Yukki was hanging out with Mori. "I wonder what they are talking about right now."
"Probably something to do with third year business." Kyouya looked back at his notes. "They probably had some kind of announcement in their class."
"I guess I can ask Rio about it when he comes to pick me up in a few." Ryo smiled.
"Are you leaving early?" Kyouya asked looking at her.
"Yeah." Ryo nodded. "I'm going home early because my grandfather on my father's side is coming for a visit." She smiled. "I haven't seen him in years…. I think I was ten."
"It's been a while then." Kyouya looked over at her calmly.
"Yeah… He's always busy with his work; he's the chairman and retired head of the family business."
"That's right; your father is the head now isn't he? Yuki Sukaage." Kyouya asked calmly.
Ryo nodded. "Yep. I don't know who will take over; it will either be Rio-onii or myself." She glanced at his out of the corner of her eyes. Kyouya… I… Should I tell him how I feel now? It's a new year and I made myself a promise that I would try to be more honest about my feelings… Ryo took a deep breath. "Uh Kyouya…." She looked at him and flushed slightly. "I-."
"Hey." Rio said opening the club room door. "Ryo come on." He called.
Ryo turned away from Kyouya and looked at her brother. "Alright, I'm coming." She turned and looked at all her friends. "I'll see everyone tomorrow!" She turned to Kyouya and smiled. "Bye Kyouya-Senpai." She turned and followed Rio out. I'll tell Kyouya tomorrow! She smiled. I'm going to admit my feelings…. Just like Hikaru did, I'm not going to run anymore.
Kyouya looked over as the first years walked into the club room, all except for Ryo. He blinked as he looked over catching their conversation. "Did you see what Ryo was wearing?" Hikaru said.
"I thought she didn't like the girl's uniform." Kaoru nodded.
"She said that was all she had that was clean." Haruhi said calmly. "Kyouya-Senpai! Ryo said to plan without her. She had to get home to visit with her grandpa."
"So what are we planning again?" Serenity asked sitting down.
"A new year's party with games is what Ryo suggested." Kyouya said calmly. "But Tamaki has decided on a different activity he wants to do."
"Horseback riding!" Tamaki said looking over.
"Hey." Everyone looked over as the door opened and Rio walked in. He looked upset and was frowning. "I need to talk to you all."
"I thought you were going home early Rio?" Yukki asked looking over. "That's what you told me this morning."
"I am. I just came to talk real quick while Ryoko is talking to her teacher." He said looking towards Kyouya slightly. "I don't want any of you to go anywhere near Ryoko for a while."
"Ryoko?" Serenity blinked. "When did you start calling Ryo by her full name?"
"Last night…. Listen." He glared towards the boys. "I don't want any of you boys to talk to Ryoko right now. Girls you can talk to her if you want, but only call her Ryoko."
"Why?" Everyone blinked.
"Our grandfather is here." Rio said calmly. "And while he is here I don't want any contact by the men in this club with my sister. That means at school as well. So she won't be coming to the club."
"What does that matter?" Tamaki asked looking over.
"Our grandfather is picky and has specific plans for Ryoko. He likes her being more feminine, and spending less time with other men." He looked towards the door. "Just listen to my voice." He turned and left, but pause outside the door. "You especially Kyouya Ootori." With that he left.
Me? Kyouya blinked. Why did he point me out specifically? He frowned. And what is going on with Ryo's grandfather? Kyouya frowned. This didn't sound good.
