I'm so happy!

My first story has (while only two reviews) been nicely accepted. I was freaking out. What if everyone hates me? -was all I thought. I got to get more confidence I suppose.

Thanks a lot to Sinful-Saints. I was waiting for someone to explain it to me. I googled it, but still couldn't get the meaning of all those titles. Thanks a ton!

Before the reunion

Kyouya Ootori sat down on his seat. He looked at his surroundings.

He was alone.

He was going back to Ouran, to meet his 'friends'. They had been raving about a party, since time immemorial. It was supposed to be a reunion. 'At this time of the year too.' He sighed. He liked travelling by air, since he had his personal plane and was all alone. He liked being alone. He could plan his day peacefully, being alone.

That was good. He meaningfully closed his eyes to try and relax. He was just about to drift off to sleep when he was jolted out of his trance by two pair of hands shaking him violently. He opened his eyes to give this person the infamous death glare, when Kyouya saw who the person was.

It was her.

The death glare, vaporised instantly into thin air. A look of complete bewilderment replaced it.

"What the-" Kyouya was surprised. "What are you doing here?" Stressing on the 'you'.

The girl placed her hands on her hips, shaking her head. "Have you already forgotten Kyouya?"

The Shadow King looked at this girl. He could not seem to place a reason for her to be on the plane with him.

"Did you get lost on campus, trying to find the library again?" Kyouya asked, with a sigh. The girl became red.

"I can find the library alright!" She shouted, annoyed. "Seriously, don't you remember? You were the one who said me to accompany you."

"Accompany me?" He was completely clueless. And then it hit him.

Kyouya looked at the girl with a certain sign of exasperation in his eyes. "I told you to accompany me, to meet my friends at the end of the semester. Not in between. You have forgotten, go check your schedule." And with that, he closed his eyes. Shaken out of his sleep for no reason at all. Sometimes he thought this girl was purposely trying to irritate him. 'But why do I put up with her?'

He remembered the day when he had met her. He remembered it far too clearly, because it was the same day when Tamaki and the rest of the group traveled back to Ouran. The day was very hectic, with lots of things happening suddenly.

He had met her on the airplane station, while seeing the idiot group off.

The Tamaki group had just realized that Kyouya was staying back in Boston to go to the university there. They were all presenting him with bouquets of roses with dramatic tears in their eyes. They kept telling him how he wouldn't be able to cope living alone without them. Kyouya was really very irritated. Although Haruhi had said this one highly amusing yet practical thing.

"With you guys gone, Kyouya-sempai can finally be left alone in peace. He can sleep to his heart's content and not have an idiot telling him about weird expeditions. I don't know how you guys can think he can't cope without you. Because I think he'll become a triple trillionaire while you guys will be gone."

Ah, that was typical Haruhi. He expected to go back to Ouran to find Haruhi taking his place as the sensible one. A sort of smile crept up to his lips at the reminiscence of her.

Another girl flashed before his eyes. He quickly opened his eyes. He turned to find her still standing there.

"What are you still doing here?" Kyouya was quite shaken.

The girl looked at Kyouya for a while, then she slowly said, "It is true that I'm not supposed to be here. I'll go out if you want me to, but wouldn't it be of profit to you if I come along too?" Seeing Kyouya's amazed face she continued, "Travelling with you to meet your friends, I'm happy. I want to meet Kyouya's friends. I know he isn't the person he pretends to be, so cold and scary and sometimes even friendly. I want to meet your friends, because then I'll get to know more about your false self. Besides, won't it profit both of us?"

She flopped down on the seat beside Kyouya and turning to him, with this huge grin she said, "If I meet them now, you won't have to bother later to introduce me to them. And it's a reunion we're going to right? That way I can meet everyone associated with you! It's profit for me too since I'm getting to know other sides of your personality."

Kyouya smiled a complete smile. Not the crooked one he had while thinking of Haruhi. A genuine gesture, sprung forward by a warm feeling inside him. Now he remembered why he put up with Beth.

She made him smile genuinely.

Author's note:

I think I need to go and read the last chapter again. I mean the manga. I didn't stress on the character of my OC because I wanted to tell how Kyouya felt about it all. You know her name don't you?

Is the name too weird? I don't think so, because it's one I really love. The full form is Elizabeth. I love this name because two of my all time favorite characters have this name. Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice and Elizabeth March from Little Women.

Yeah, I'm old fashioned!

Again, critical reviews are appreciated. But again, don't go all scary Kyouya on me. I can grow mushrooms in your closet.

Aloha!
