Hi! Right now, I'm listening to Whispering from Spring Awakening… such a beautifully sad song… sniffle… It brings up some good memories from Theatre… Okay, my ramblings over… Enjoy!

Chapter 5

Akira was laughing with Haruhi when Kimiko showed up at school the next day. "So you broke a vase and now you owe the club money? What a klutz! Oh, hey Kimiko!"

"Morning…" Kimiko replied, a little out of it. Due to both shock and a huge workload, she'd gotten less than three hours of sleep. "How are you guys?"

"Fine," Haruhi said. "You okay?" Kimiko had stumbled, going over to them.

"She's okay," Akira laughed. "How much sleep did you get?"

"Not enough," Kimiko muttered, collapsing onto the ground. "Stupid paperwork..."

"There wasn't that much homework," Haruhi stated, confused. She'd only spent about an hour on it.

"Not that… memorizing my script…t hen researching a play…" Kimiko grumbled, nearly asleep.

"Come on," Akira helped the exhausted girl up, grinning at Haruhi. "Let's get you to class. You can fall asleep there."

"So, Haruhi, what do you want to be when you graduate?" Akira asked, forcing Kimiko to walk.

"A lawyer, like my mom."

"Akira wants to be a lawyer too!" Kimiko said, the excerise waking her up a little.

"I have a question," Haruhi said. "Akira's parents are in the medical business, so I see how they're connected to Kyoya's family, but how are yours connected?"
"To the Ootoris? The Ootori's treat the officials we teach when they get injured," Kimiko replied. "Plus, my grandmother ran a string of private hospitals in her spare time. Ah, classroom!"

Akira laughed as Kimiko plopped her head on her desk. "Wow Kimiko, wow!"

"Aw, shut up, I'm sleepy!"

"Hello Haruhi! Oh hi Akira, what are you doing here?" The twins had arrived.

"Dropping these two off," Akira replied. "And enjoying a conversation."
"Two?" They saw Kimiko at her desk, listening to her ipod. "Oh."
"Can we please prank her?" Hikaru asked Haruhi. "She's right there!"

"It's the perfect opportunity!" Kaoru added.

A large book flew at Kaoru's head, barely missing it. Everyone looked at Kimiko who was sitting up, a murderous rage in her eyes. "I am tired. I'm listening to a playlist of my favorite songs including Defying Gravity, Thank Goodness, Whispering, and On My Own. I want to sleep before we start school. So don't even think about it."

The twins hid behind Haruhi, difficult since she was a lot shorter than them. "Scary!"

Akira laughed at them. "She can be so much worse. Well, see ya!"

Kaoru looked at the book Kimiko had thrown skeptically. It was bigger than most dictionaries, and she had thrown it! Opening it, it was all in English, and in play format. "What is this?"

"Book of plays," Kimiko mumbled sleepily. "Can I get it back?"

"I don't know… can you?" Kaoru teased. "What do I get in return?"

"Oh never mind, just keep it." Kimiko was beyond caring at the moment. "I have a bigger copy at home."

Hikaru and Kaoru took advantage of her sleepiness to dig through her bag. "Hey, you like manga?"

Kimiko woke up instantly. "Yes, I do! Don't dig through my stuff!"

"Is that all you have in here?" Hikaru asked. "Vampire Knight? Pretear? What are those?"

"Heard of Inuyasha before," Kaoru noted. "Good series."

"Haruhi, help!" The twins were dangling the books over Kimiko's head, grinning devilishly as she tried to get them back. "This isn't even fair!"

"It relieves our boredom," the twins chorused.

"Haruhi!" Kimiko pleaded.

"They're too tall for me to help," Haruhi replied. "Sorry."

"Well, that's what internet's for," Kimiko sighed. "I'll just read them online. I can survive the day without a reading supply."

"That's no fun," Hikaru muttered.

"Come on, we're just playing!" Kaoru grinned.

"I know, I know," Kimiko stretched. They were so… noisy. She sighed mentally. Now that they were here, there was no way she was going to be able to sleep. Especially with the fan girls trickling in. She was just going to have to find some way to stay awake until lunch.

"These any good?" Kaoru asked, holding a Vampire Knight.

"Yeah! It's a little girly, but most girls these days love Vampire Knight! It's the vampire craze going around," Kimiko beamed. Except for a very annoying heroine she hated, she liked pretty much all of the characters and the drama… well, she was a girl after all. "And Pretear's not bad, but its super girly. Though, the Leafe Knights are so good looking!"

"Borrowing these." Kaoru took the books and started to leaf through them at his desk, Hikaru following closely. Kimiko wondered if it was a coincidence that Haruhi sat in between the two of them, or if it had been arranged.

They are cute, Kimiko thought about the twins, lamenting her day's reading supply at the same time. Well, they were more than cute, but still… too bad only one of them had a decent attitude!

What did I even do to him? Its annoying!Kimiko sighed angrily. He's been nothing but a jerk from the moment he laid eyes on me! I try to be nice, I try to be social, but he acts like such a punk! Honestly, his looks are the only good thing about him! He should act more like Kaoru! He's mean, and anti-social, and a complete jerk!

She noticed Hikaru laughing with his twin and Haruhi and sighed again. But then again, maybe he only hates me…

Akira sat reading at her desk, listening to an American band, Fall Out Boy. She had always liked them, but Kimiko had managed to get her obsessed with musicals like Wicked as well. She was so involved, she didn't even notice when Tamaki and Kyoya walked into the room.

"Interesting reading?" Kyoya asked after watching her a moment, as Tamaki flirted with the other girls in class.

"Very." Akira didn't bother to look up, but turned her ipod down in order to be able to hear. "Kimiko gave it to me to read."

A book on serial killers… definitely not sweet or innocent!"The two of you are close?" Kyoya asked.

"Yeah. Why?" Akira finished the chapter she was reading and looked up at him.

"Its my…"

"Business to know about the students of this school," Akira interrupted. "I got that. Didn't you already get info on the both of us?" Kyoya remained silent. "Oh, you got the bogus stuff, didn't you? The stuff saying we were sweet little angels, and were perfect in every way, right?"
"Yes, I did," Kyoya watched in interest as the girl laughed.

"Wow, I thought after our last antic, they'd all deleted that stuff! And let me guess, no real personal information showed up either, right?"

"Except that Sato-san has no relationship experience, no." Kyoya waited for Akira to stop laughing, surprised she found it that funny.

"Wow. Just… wow. Well, unless its completely personal, I don't mind giving you answers," Akira replied. "First thing, Kimiko hates being called Sato-san. Absolutely hates it."

"Really?" Kyoya was suspicious of the girls easy offer. Akira was too much like him to give free offers, he'd already noticed that.

"Of course. I can respect your business to know people enough to give you that. I mean, its not like you could help getting the wrong information," Akira smiled innocently, setting warning bells off in Kyoya's mind.

"What do you want in return?" Kyoya asked, sending her a look. He didn't trust the girl's sweet smile. The only thing it could mean was trouble.

"Who says I want anything in return?" Akira replied, mischief glinting in her eyes. There was no way Kyoya could trust that look. He sent her a calm look back. "Okay, I do want something! But its not much, I promise!"

"What is it?"

"Nothing much," Akira assured him. "All I want is…" She glanced around to make sure no one could hear.

"I want you to help me get Tamaki and Haruhi together."

Yay! This chapters done! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!
