Meanwhile Kyouya's driver was sitting in the driver's seat of the limo pondering what he should inform Mr. Yoshiro.

"I can't even see what's going on right now." He said to himself banging his head on the steering wheel only to be surprised by a gentle knock at the window.

He looked through the tainted window and saw that it was Nika smiling with a picnic basket clutched in her hands.

"How can I be of service?" He said as he stepped out of the car more out of habit and training then actually wanting to be of service.

"Oh there's no need to step out. I'm sorry for bothering you but we had extra food and I thought you should have it, you know as a thank you for driving us around." Nika said handing him the basket.

"I cannot accept this. It is my duty to provide transportation to the young mr. Ootori and his companions." He said trying to hand the basket back but Nika just pushed it back towards him.

"No matter what job you might have your still human and you still have to eat. Even if you're not hungry bring it home to your family." Nika said kindly.

"Excuse me, but how did you know I had a family?" He asked knowing full well that Kyouya never asked nor even cared about his life enough to know or inform someone about his family.

"Your wedding ring is a dead give away. So how long have you been married mr..?" Nika asked.

"Uh.. my name is Kiyoshi, Kiyoshi Masa." He said putting the basket aside still somewhat puzzled by her interest in him.

"I've been married for 2 years now." He said answering her first question.

"What a wonderful name! My name is Nika Cho. Nice to meet you Masa-san" Nika said extending her hand to him for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you as well Nika-san" He said in return shaking her hand warmly.

"Tell you what, since were such good friends now, why don't you take a few hours off and go home and eat. You can pick Kyouya up in front of my place at 10." Nika said with a wink.

"Does master Ootori know about this?" Kiyoshi asked hesitantly.

"Of course! I think he could use some exercise anyway. It's not like I live that far away." Nika said very convincingly.

"Thank you very much Nika-san. It was a pleasure meeting you." Kiyoshi said bowing to Nika who bowed back.

"No problem at all. It's not fair for us to be having such a great time while you sit in a car bored. Plus there's something in there I think you and the misses would like." Nika said with a smile and a wink walking back towards the garden where she left Kyouya.

Kiyoshi watched her leave and opened the lid of the picnic basket. He froze instantly and his face became full of dread as his eyes fell upon the handcuffs and sake.

"What is master Ootori thinking?" He said to himself as he put the basket in the limo and decided to give his wife a call while he drove off.

Nika walked back happy that her plan for turning this date around had worked, but she did feel bad for lying to Masa-san and hoped the presents Marcello had put in the basket would make up for it.

Nika walked on lost in her thoughts until she reached the garden and saw Kyouya standing up leaning his back against the trunk of the sakura and looking up at the just beginning to darken sky. Her heart skipped a beat in her chest at his calm demeanor and she gulped a bit at the thought of just how out of her league he was.

"Are you going to stand there all night and stare?" Kyouya asked looking at Nika out the corner of his eye.

Suddenly Nika regained her composure and forgot what she was thinking after his somewhat snide comment.

"You loose all cute points when you act that way." Nika informed Kyouya as she walked over.

"Where's the basket?" Kyouya asked only to be met with a sly smile.

"I gave it to Masa-san. I think it will make his wife happy." Nika said leaning on the trunk next to Kyouya.

Kyouya sweat dropped as he remembered that was his limo driver's last name. He smirked at the thought of what must be going through his drivers mind right now after receiving a basket from a companion of his that has sake and handcuffs in it.

"Do you have any idea what that man is probably thinking at this moment?" Kyouya asked a tad annoyed that Nika didn't even think about the reputation he had at stake.

"Probably thinking about getting lucky right now, but I don't really care. No matter what any one thinks it can't change who you are and how you feel about yourself unless you let it." Nika said distantly as she looked up at the sky.

"Come on lets walk and talk, or are you to rich to use your legs?" Nika asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You know sarcasm is not very becoming of a lady." Kyouya said getting off the tree and standing next to Nika.

"I told you before I'm not a lady." Nika said as she began a slow pace out of the garden with Kyouya by her side.

"Then what exactly are you?" Kyouya asked, his arms folded on his chest as his glasses glared from the street lights as they left the abandoned building.

"I'm Nika Cho, a 17 year old female of Japanese and Chinese descent who goes to Uran public high school. I'm also a tea maker and have been known to be a pretty good actress when the time calls for it. That is who I am and nothing more." Nika said closing the thick metal door of the building behind them.

"Is that really all you see yourself as?" Kyouya asked somewhat amused.

"That's all I need to be everything else is just a perk." Nika said with a smile wrapping her arm around Kyouya's and leading the way at a slow pace.

"To think so simply must be a luxury of commoners." Kyouya said to himself with a smirk not knowing the Nika had heard him full and well.

"And what exactly are you kyo-kun?" Nika said a tad upset and stretching out the "kun".

"I am Kyouya Ootori 17 year's old and youngest son and heir of Yoshiro Ootori who runs the Ootori group. I am of Japanese descent and attend Ouran private high school. I am the vice president and member of my schools host club and have been known as the shadow king." Kyouya said proudly with a bow to Nika.

"You forgot pompous as well." Nika said with a smirk.

Kyouya just smiled and said " That's just a perk."
