AN: Hopefully I will be done the next chapter and have it posted before the 26th as promised but I just got home from B.C. and it turns out I'm going back again tomorrow night :P so if this seems rushed that's because it is.

Chapter 5

"Maka Albarn? Is there a Maka Albarn in this class?" looking up from my book in surprise I raised my hand, "Yes, I'm Maka." A woman I had never met before motioned for me to follow her into the hallway. My chair squeaked noisily across the floor as I stood up and I could feel the eyes of my classmates drilling into my back but I chose to ignore that.

As I walked up to the door I searched hard for what could be the matter I mean, my marks are at the top of the class, I haven't broken any of the school's rules, and my attitude in class is quiet and respectable. So what could be wrong?

"Maka I'm so sorry!" the woman burst into tears and threw her arms around me. Not used to being hugged by strangers I patted her back and told her that everything was going to be okay. Regaining her composure took a few minutes but then she told me.

"Maka your parents were in an accident. They were driving through an intersection and someone ignored the red light, because of that they it your parents car. They were rushed to the hospital but it was too late, I'm so sorry.

I woke up screaming, that often happens so it was nothing new for me but for the person who's lap my head was in it was quite the shock.

"K-kyoya? What's going on? Where are we?" looking around I saw I was in a king sized bed with black silk sheets and kyoya was sitting up with his back on the carved wooden headboard. I tried to sit up but the wave of dizziness that accompanied the motion forced me back down.

"Don't try to sit up just yet, you hit your head somewhere. We're at my house in a guest bedroom. You need to rest." He was looking at me with what looked to me like a worried expression. I was trying to remember anything I could from before I got here. Then I remembered about my encounter in the library with Mori.

"Kyoya do you have any way of contacting Mori? I need to tell him that I'm okay." My question seemed to have him confused and so he asked, "Mori? Why would you need to tell Mori? Shouldn't you tell your parents so they don't worry?" and there it was, the question I was hoping I wouldn't have to deal with. I was thinking of how I could avoid the question when I blurted out, "I bumped into Mori in the library!" Kyoya looked really lost so I continued, "I mean I literally bumped into him and knocked him down. That's why I wanted to tell him what happened because he probably saw the blood on the bookshelf where I hit my head."

"Oh, that makes sense but I don't know how to contact him. He keeps to himself a lot and wouldn't tell me his phone number." Well that won't help me any right now, but I decided that I would talk to him at school the next day. I tried sitting up again and this time wasn't so bad. Once I managed to get myself into a sitting position I resumed our conversation.

"Thank you so much for everything but I really should get going." Looking out the window I saw the sun had already set, it's not like there's anyone waiting for me at home but it would be rude to impose on my classmate any longer.

Hearing that, Kyoya simply handed me a telephone. "It's 2:30am you can just stay here for the night, you should call to tell your parents so they don't worry." Looking at the phone I wondered how I could avoid it this time. I really didn't want to explain to anyone in my class about my parents.

"Everyone would be asleep and I wouldn't want to wake them." My speech was normal and calm so he shouldn't suspect my lie. "They wouldn't care that I was out anyways." I handed the phone back to him without another word.

"Are you sure?" Kyoya asked, "Most parents like to know the whereabouts of their children." He was gazing into my eyes as if he could pry the truth from them. I began to pick at my nails as I often do when I'm feeling nervous. "Don't worry about it, everything's fine." I quickly reassured him. Not wanting further questions I told him that I was tired and needed sleep, especially since we have school tomorrow. He agreed with me and retreated to his own bedroom to get some sleep.

Kyoya's POV: The whole time I was talking with Maka I could sense that something was wrong. Every time I asked she seemed to be very evasive regarding her parents. She was the only one in our class who I didn't know everything about, and to me that was very unsettling. Tomorrow I will be sure to use my spare time investigating this mysterious girl, but for tonight I definitely need to sleep. I could have slept while Maka was unconscious but she was just too interesting to watch while she slept. For the most part she smiled but nearing the time that she woke up she seemed very distressed. She was rolling around and moaning. My only conclusion is that she was having a nightmare.

Maka's POV: The next morning I woke up to an amazing breakfast that was waiting just beside the bed. My head still hurt a bit but it wouldn't keep me from going to school. Oh shoot! I forgot how am I going to get to school? I don't know where Kyoya's house is so I don't know if I could walk. I wouldn't want to trouble him into giving me a ride considering all that he's done for me. I guess I'll just have to talk with him.

After eating breakfast I hopped off the bed and made my way to the door. Turning the knob I found myself in a hallway bigger than my entire apartment. There were so many doors I couldn't believe anyone could use or keep track of all of these rooms. Making my way to the end of the hallway I heard some voices so I decided to follow to where these people were.

"Yes the doctor saw her and everything is fine, she only had a slight concussion. But with her body mass there's no way a simple fall could have done that much damage. Either she fell from somewhere higher up or something fell on top of her." An older man in a suit was talking to Kyoya. "But there's nothing to worry about because there will be no permanent damage. Now it is almost time to go are you going to go wake Miss Albarn up or shall I?"

"Just Maka is fine." I made my presence known, "I feel uncomfortable for you to be referring to me in such a formal manner." The two turned around to face me, obviously not expecting me to have been listening to their conversation. That's when Kyoya began walking towards me.

"Maka, how are you feeling? Can you go to school today or do you need to rest?" I couldn't understand why Kyoya was so worried. Couldn't he see that I'm fine? "Thank you for the offer, but I would rather go to school. Should we be leaving soon?" I didn't want to be late because if the two of us were late and arrived at the same time it would be very suspicious.

"Yes, actually we should be leaving now. Do you have everything you need?" I nodded to him and he showed me the way to the limo we would be riding in. I knew Kyoya was rich considering he goes to Ouran and because he has such an amazing house, but to be driven in a limo every day? That's just crazy!

The ride to school was only fifteen minutes, but the silence was dragging on for what seemed like hours. Sitting across from Kyoya, I didn't really know where to look. I tried looking out the window but it was too tinted, so I settled on looking at my fingers that were intertwined in my lap.

I felt the car slowly come to a stop so I grabbed my bag ready to get out, but before I could grab the handle to open the door the driver had already ran around the car to open it for me. I stepped out into the wind thanking the driver and turned towards the school. That's when I heard the second bell ring which was longer and had a different tune from the first. We were late! How could this happen? I turned towards Kyoya to ask him what we should do. As if he knew my question before it left my lips all he did was raise his shoulders in a slight shrug.

We both made the walk to our classroom which seemed a lot longer than it had on other days, probably because all of the other days I hadn't slept over at a boys' house and then come to school late.

Taking a deep breath I grabbed the door handle and opened the door. Usually, class would have started 20 minutes ago but today our classmates were sitting on the couches in the back of the room. They were all speaking rapidly in Japanese because it's their first language and it's easier for them to speak it than it is to speak English. That changed as soon as two distinctive voices spoke up,

"Well, well, well, would you look at what we've got here?"

AN: Sorry I can't post the next chapter today as I had planned. I didn't have any time to write today and I'm leaving for 5 days, so I'll try to post it as soon as I can! I hope you guys review because I really don't know what I'm doing with this story. I've seen other authors talk about their story plans and I'm just sitting here making this all up on the go... So yeah please review and give me ideas for further chapters!
