Ryo smiled as she walked onto the school ground. It felt so good to be back on campus. Ryo started to head towards the classroom, she was now a second year. That felt great. Ryo walked down the hallways and chuckled as she spotted the twins, Haruhi, and Serenity talking. All of them looked slightly upset.

"What's going on?" Ryo asked walking up.

"RYO!" Serenity and Haruhi gasped.

Ryo gasped as the two girls hugged her tightly. "Can't…. breathe!" Ryo gasped.

"Ryo, what are you doing here?" Hikaru asked. "We thought you weren't coming to this school anymore."

"Did your fiancé let you come back?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah." Ryo chuckled. I wonder if I should tell them… About Kyouya and I… Not yet. She smiled. "It's good to see you guys."

"We've missed you." Serenity smiled. "And you've missed so much! Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai are going to college now."

"Yeah, Rio-Niisan told me…" Ryo chuckled. "Here, we can talk more after class." She smiled and headed towards one of the desks. A few other students called out as they recognized Ryo. She smiled and waved, and then sat down in a desk. Haruhi and Serenity sat down on each side of her. Ryo smiled and then watched as the teacher walked in. It felt normal to be back in the classroom.

Ryo smiled as they all walked out of the classroom together. "So what happened?!" Serenity asked walking up behind her. "We all thought we were never going to see you again!"

"I got lucky." Ryo smiled. "And I'm so happy. I've missed you all." She hugged her friends. "I'm sad that I missed the end of the last semester."

"We've all missed you too." Serenity chuckled. "It wasn't the same."

"RYO!" Ryo gasped as she was slammed into by Luc. "YOU'RE BACK!"

Ryo chuckled and smiled more as she looked up seeing Kyouya and Yukki walking towards them. Yukki was grinning too. "Hey." She chuckled. "I'm surprised Rio didn't tell me."

"I asked him to keep it a secret." Ryo chuckled. "I wanted to surprise you all."

"Ryo." Luc chuckled. "Tell us what happened!"

"Oh." Ryo smiled and looked towards Kyouya. "Why don't we find Tamaki first... I'm surprised he's not here right now."

"Oh, yeah… Where is he?" Haruhi asked.

"He's being detained by some first years." Kyouya explained calmly. "Come along. We'll go towards the lunch room, I'm sure he's been dragged there."

"What about the club room?" Ryo asked, curious. "Aren't we going to eat there?"

"No." Kyouya said calmly. "The room started having maintenance over the break, and it's not finished yet. We'll have to wait."

"Oh." Ryo blinked. "I guess club work won't get back to normal right away then." Ryo said as the group walked together towards the cafeteria. Ryo blinked as she spotted Tamaki surrounded by a bunch of girls. He looked over and spotted the group, mostly Ryo. "RYO!"

Ryo quickly ducked behind Kyouya before the crazy third year could hug her. Kyouya blocked the path. "Hi Tamaki." Ryo smiled slightly. "It's been a while."

"When did you get back?!" Tamaki asked laughing happily.

"Just today." Ryo moved out a little from behind Kyouya. "How are you?"

"I'm just great!" He laughed happily. "So what happened with that fiancé of yours? Did he say you could come then?"

Ryo blushed and looked down. "Well… about that…. You see… I'm no longer engaged to that other guy." She glanced at Kyouya. "I'm engaged to another guy."

"WHAT?!" All the girls stared at her in shock. "WHO?!"

"When did this happen?" Tamaki stared at Ryo.

"Not that long ago." Ryo blushed. "It's uh…" She looked down.

"It's me." Kyouya said calmly and placed his hand on Ryo's shoulder. "We are engaged."

"WHAT?!" This yell nearly turned Ryo deaf. They all stared at the two of them in shock and confusion.

"Yeah." Ryo blushed and looked at her feet. "It's a long story…"

"Tamaki!" A female student called out. Suddenly Tamaki was dragged off. Everyone watched in shock.

"Are you two really engaged?" Hikaru asked.

"Yeah." Ryo blushed.

"Congrats!" The girls all laughed and hugged Ryo.

Ryo smiled and laughed. She looked over at Kyouya and found him smiling as well. She laughed happily. Life seems like everything is going to be going great now. I'm happy…. I'm back where I belong and everything is going to be good again. Ryo laughed and hugged her friends. "Let's have a big lunch to celebrate!"

"Even though Tamaki won't be joining." Haruhi whispered.

Ryo glanced over to where the blond boy was still being detained by younger girls. I wonder what is up with him. Kyouya told me he was accepted into his main house…. But he also seems a little distant, and Kyouya sounds a little concerned about Tamaki. Huh? She looked at Kyouya and found him observing his friend as well. Something is going on… Maybe I was wrong to think everything would return to the way things were. Ryo felt worried suddenly.
