Disclaimers: I down own Ouran- but I do own Kaori- and being introduced in this chapter- played by LOSGAP- Hanabi!
Walking to the third music room- my thoughts traveled back to this morning. I had loved the feeling of pride and freedom when I had played- it felt right and amazing.
"Kikuno-san." I stopped and looked over my shoulders.
"Good afternoon Nekozawa sempai," I smiled, turning toward him. He had found a dark corner in the hallway, and I new he wouldn't leave it.
"How have you been?" he asked me, and I raised an eyebrow.
"Good…" I answered, curious at why he asked me that.
"That's good…" he replied, his eyes glazed over- him in his own wonderland.
"Are you feeling alright Nekozawa sempai?" I asked, and he jumped out of his thoughts.
"Yes- I was just wondering how Black Magic would be so much better with you in it- but Ootori-san has you in his grip…so…" Nekozawa said, trailing off again.
"Yea…" I sighed, slightly trailing off as well," Speaking of which- I should be going- I don't want him to have a reason to make me do something else for being late."
"Very well Kikuno-san," Nekozawa nodded softly, and Belzenef waved bye," Take care."
"You too Nekozawa sempai," I smiled," Belzenef." I turned and walked the rest of the way to the club doors and walked in. Bored, I sat down at the table across from Kyoya- who sat there, typing away on his computer. He hardly even glanced at me when I sat down- and so I decided I wanted to play a small 'game'.
"Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-san…Kyoya-"
"What?!" he said, finally getting slightly annoyed- he looked up over his computer at me.
"Hai." I smiled innocently. Everyone who had been paying attention- sweat-dropped. Wordlessly, he went back to his computer, and I blinked at him a couple times.
"Well- your no fun," I complained, and got up, leaving him and his computer to have some 'alone time'. I giggled as that thought crossed my mind- earning me a glare from the proclaimed 'Shadow King'.
"No- absolutely not!" I exclaimed, looking at the outfit the twins were holding out towards me.
"You have to! Its part of the cosplay we're doing!" they exclaimed in unison. Somehow Renge had roped them into doing a Naruto themed cosplay. They were holding out Ino's Shippuden outfit- which would show way too much of my skin.
"You must- unless you wish to stay known as you are," Kyoya said, appearing beside me.
"Fine- I'll do it- but NOT in that," I said.
"Then what outfit did you have in mind?" Haruhi asked, walking up to me.
"You'll see," I said deviously, and walked over to Renge and began whispering in her ear. Instantly, she nodded, and ran around the room, trying to find what it was she needed. I looked over at where Hunny and Mori were- and had to suppress a laugh. They were already dressed- Mori as Kakashi and Hunny as quite possibly the cutest Gaara ever. Tamaki came out of the dressing room, with dramatic poses and his usual ego. The role of Naruto himself was possibly best for Tamaki.
"Kyoya- your turn!" Tamaki exclaimed, and with a sad sigh, Kyoya trudged to get dressed.
"So- how are my lovely ladies?" Tamaki asked, walking up to us.
"Blah," I answered, boredly.
"Explain to me why Renge picked out our cosplay this time?" Haruhi asked, trying to figure out her outfit. She was dressed as Hinata- and it fit her pretty well.
"We couldn't decided peacefully on an idea- so I decided to let her choose!" Tamaki exclaimed happily.
"Yeah- it's not so bad boss," Hikaru said, appearing on one side of Tamaki.
"It's better then we thought it would be," Kaoru continued, appearing on Tamaki's other side. Some how, both had dressed themselves as Rock Lee- and then I remembered something.
"Hikaru- you're the oldest twin right?" I asked.
"Yeah…?"
"Then- you'll be Guy," I said," Kaoru- you'll be Lee." Renge, who had been passing as I said that, froze in mid step.
"That's brilliant Kaori-kun!" she exclaimed happily," Why didn't I think of that!?"
"Explain to me again-" Kyoya said, emerging from the dressing room," Who this guy is." I looked over at him, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Renge- you have… Kyoya sempai… dressed as…Orochimaru!?" I managed between laughs- and she nodded.
"What's so funny?" everyone asked.
"Orochimaru is the evil guy in the show," I explained," That Naruto vows to kill after Orochimaru takes Naruto's best friend, Sasuke, from the Leaf village." They all-except Renge, who had continued on with her search- looked at me blankly. I sighed, and shrugged- they'd never really understand, so why try? All the customers that would be attending tonight had gotten a notice from Renge to research on the characters so they would understand- to some small point- what was going on and all.
"Okay Kaori-kun!" Renge exclaimed," you're outfit is complete!"
"I thought you were going to be…Ine or whatever her name is," Tamaki said, looking slightly crestfallen.
"INO!" Renge and I exclaimed together.
"And no- it showed way too much skin sempai," I explained, and he nodded. So, I went into the dressing room, and put on my costume. I had always wanted to dress as one of my favorite characters from the show- though, I would have first chosen Kakashi- but they had given that role to Mori. I still could be a character I knew pretty well- and since all the girls already swooned over me, who better to be? Stepping out of the dressing room- Tamaki gaped at me- which made everyone else look, and they all stared at me.
"What?!" I exclaimed, making sure I had everything on- I did, so I became even more worried why they were all staring at me like that.
"It looks…natural on you," Tamaki finally managed to say.
"Thanks…I think," I said, not sure if I should take it as a compliment or insult.
"So- who are you again?" Kaoru asked,
"Sasuke Uchiha," I replied smiling- and he looked at me blankly," Sasuke is the one that Naruto vows to bring back to the Leaf- by taking him away from Orochimaru." I had my own reason for choosing Sasuke- but I wouldn't say out loud.
"Let's begin, shall we?" Hunny asked, and we all nodded and got into position.

"So- what made you almost late to class this morning?" Kyoya asked, as we got our things together, preparing to go home for the day.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently- but still curious.
"Hikaru told me you were almost late to class- and I want to know why," Kyoya said.
"Blah."
"…"
"You aint getting anything out of me- so," I told him, and stood up. I was ready to go- but I decided to wait for Haruhi. A soft 'pat pat' sounded at the door- and I walked over to it. Opening it, I came face to face with a girl I had never saw at the school before.
"Can I help you?" I asked sweetly- playing the charming side for her. I saw her blush softly, and her eyes darted to the floor.
"I lost my way and I was wondering if someone could help me," she replied softly, and I barely heard her- but thankfully, I read her lip movement and put two and two together.
"Of course- please come on in," I smiled, moving to the side," I'll get my bag, and together Haruhi and myself will help you on our way out. We were just about to leave anyway so… What's your name?"
"Hythani Hanabi," she replied softly, coming in hesitantly.
"That's a very beautiful name, Hythani-san," I smiled, and then introduced myself," I am Kikuno Kaori." She nodded softly, and seconds later Haruhi emerged from the dressing room, and walked over to us.
"Fujioka Haruhi," I said, introducing the two," Hythani Hanabi. Hythani-san is new, and she got lost- so I offered us to help her find her way."
"Alright," Haruhi smiled," Bye guys!" We walked to the door, and I let Hanabi go through before me- it seemed gentleman-like, so- since I was portraying one, might as well be one.
"Would you like me to carry your school bag Hythani-san?" I asked, and she blushed.
"No, that's alright, thank you though Kikuno-san," she replied quietly. I smiled as Haruhi and I walked along side Hanabi- this might be the start of a new friendship.
