A/N: So sorry that this has been taking forever to get around to! But, the muse just hasn't been around a whole lot when I would love it to be here. Now, I do hope that you all will enjoy this lengthy chapter! (It is over 4k words!) Enjoy!

"Hello there Stevie Rae! It really is great to see you here again. How are things in your corner?" Zoey asked her other friend. I knew that the two had also been close friends before the untimely death of Stevie Rae. At least, from what I had been told.

"People are still being dicks and all. Especially a few that you already knew about. Anyways, I knew that I needed o come and see this childhood friend of yours as soon as I possibly could. But, it has been too long. And, I am very sorry. But, she does seem to do well on everything that she does. Unlike you though Zo. Glad that you had someone to actually motivate you throughout the time that she was here though." The Oklahomian stated.

"Actually, I only started to dive head first into studying when I found out that I was moving to Japan. I was as lax as Zoey here. I think studying took me away from missing my friends. But, yet, when I came back here about two months ago, that is exactly what I needed to do as I started to miss those in Japan again. I don't think I actually have any other defense mechanism other than to study when I go back and forth." I started to muse. I really had admited the right truth though. I had been pretty lax on studying. I did know that I had wanted to be a lawyer. I wondered if I could still do that.

"Haruhi, you can do anything you set your mind to. Now, I wonder what else we could do? We've had an excellent point of improv for Romeo and Juliet. Then, there is the fencing demo. Again, well done. Now, we could probably deal with getting you your new sche-" She was just about to finish that part when someone came up to her. I didn't even recognize them. They did seem different though somehow.

"Sorry to interrupt High Priestess Zoey and Red Fledgling Queen Stevie Rae, but there's something that is needed for both of you to know. I've been getting told that Ms. Fujioka here needs to go see Professor Lankford as soon as possible. Her hormones or something and already being so close to the change. He wanted her there before she ended up with something even worse than a black out this time." The student stated. Why was I actually needing to go through the change? Why did it have to interrupt my plans anyways? I had actually wanted to leave tomorrow too. If I knew from the change, then it could delay my entire plans by three days, right? Until I knew what was going on, or how this person knew I'd be going through it, was beyond me.

"Very well. We'll be moving to the Temple of Nyx then. And, as soon as we possibly can do so. It's just on the other side of the campus. And, don't worry, Haruhi. Everything will be fine. You're well advanced enough. But, as I probably know you, this is putting a dampening mood on you as you weren't going to be here for that much longer, now were you?" Zoey asked. It was going to ruin the surprise for them too but oh well.

"No, I was going back to Japan this week, as per the vision that I had saw. Unfortunately, plans that I make never seem to follow what I wanted them to be. But, if I'm out for three days for the change, then I can't control it anymore than I could when you guys marked me. I will try to visit more when I can. Of course, we'll also still be in better contact as what I am teaching the students is going to be far more difficult than anything. Especially going through all of this. I also have a feeling that Ouran Gakuen will now become a boarding school, as I am not sure how well each of the parents are going to be pleased." I told her.

We had actaully walked at least half the distance across the campus at this time.

"End of this week already? You've barely been here for two months. What date did you really see in that vision though, Haruhi?" Zoey had to ask again.

"Actually, I was hoping to leave tomorrow night. Be in Japan. Sleep for a good day. Start the three day spell ritual. I was going to be in the Third Music Room by October 5th. As per the calendar at the very least. I was planning on having that as a surprise thing but I guess not. It wonder if there is a way to actually get the day to change though as I am sure that I want to talk to the parents." I told them. Yes, I did need to talk to them now too.

"I am sure that you will do a great job. Actually, letters have already been sent to those parents in which their children are targets already. They sent back emails too to say that they will schedule with you when you land in Japan. Here are each of their numbers." Erik stated, handing me a thick envelope. Yes, this would mean that every member of Ouran was going to be there. I also had to reveal that I was a female anyways. There would be no way to actually hide that fact anyways.

"Thank you Professor for doing that already. Now, we really need to get into me into the temple. Am I allowed anything?" I asked, as we had reached the temple. It was a beautiful one.

"No one is allowed in until I clear it. Well, the only two people in there are myself and Haruhi." Professor Lankford stated. I nodded as I started up the stairs. I would act like this is a normal ritual. I hadn't dreamt of this one yet so this is probably something that was all part of the acceleration. Either that, or they were actually trying to get the change done before I was set on departing.

"Now, all you have to do is stand in the center of the circle and call the elements to you. They will respond accordingly."

Professor Lankford told me to do. I did just that. I stood in the middle of the circle that had been laid out in front of me. Things that we normally did use in our rituals as well. I called each of the elements in order. Starting with Air. I felt it rush a bit around me, but there was not much of an affinity with it at all. I continued to call them going in a clockwise motion. They all resoponded to me in turn until I sensed that my own powers were also going to be asked to come forth.

"With the power of our goddess Nyx, I would like to call forth each of these sacred elements. To help secure the kind of change that she best believes is best for me." I stated. The ritual was only starting to actually come to me now, as I was being guided. Yes, this was my changing from a fledgling to a full on adult vampyre. I was grateful that I wouldn't have to go through this when I was in Japan again. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise.

With that, all of the energy in the room was then suddenly thrown to me. I did stagger a bit but I never left the circle. I could feel the power in me draining just slightly but that wouldn't be anything new. I also had a loss of energy with a ritual too. But, it wouldn't leave me completely. It would be back with a vengeance.

Twenty minutes later though, I was finally done with the ritual. Well, aside from sitting cross legged in the center of the circle to meditate just for a few minutes. I would be able to see everyone very soon.

Soon.

Soon.

Okay, after having at least five minutes of pure meditation, I couldn't stand the silence in here anymore. I knew that I had changed officially when the energies attacked me. I could feel that I was just a bit more different too. Appearance wise? I really didn't know that part but I wanted to think that everything about me had actually changed. I was done. Oh, I would need blood as soon as I could get out of the temple though. And, if possible, directly from my mate. My body had actually honed to him just now. He seemed to be worried. I didn't want to worry him much longer either.

"Thank you, Professor Lankford, for the guidance that you have offered here tonight." I told him, standing up and giving him a bow. I really couldn't help it that I was still accustomed to it.

"You are most welcome, Haruhi Fujioka. Now, I can sense that you want two things. You are allowed to have one of them after a full three hours." He stated. He did know about all this ritual stuff after all. I groaned though.

"Very well. I'm going to go with one. They all seem worried for me though. I don't blame them though. How long have we actually been in this room though for?" I asked.

"You've been in here for at least an hour. The ritual took some time. Then your mediation before your irritation of having to sit still came in after ten minutes. So, you did good. Though, yours is a bit of a rapid pace as you get the gist of things quickly with your visions. When I do others normally, it takes three hours or more." He chuckled before he opened the doors. Just because I had changed did not mean that I wanted to actually open the doors.

"I should also be saying that you probably just became the High Priestess for the newest version of the House of Night in Tokyo Japan for when you go back there." Was the next lines that were out of his mouth. He had actually stalled on opening the doors at first until after that comment.

"I would like you to all know that the transformation for Ms. Haruhi Fujioka, High Priestess to the Ouran Gakuen House of Night, has officially completed the change." He stated, walking down the stairs of the temple. As I was still in the dark just a bit, as the darkness outside was different than the darkness inside, I had to allow my eyes to really adjust.

"What is it with all these changes? Too dark inside or too bright outside?" I muttered to myself as I was finally outside. I scanned the area to see where everyone was. I finally noted where Kyoya was. Right beside the stairs on my right side. He did smell very tempting. I really couldn't have blood for another three hours. Damn.

"Haruhi? Are you really alright though?" Kyoya asked.

I finally wrapped my arms around him. "Aside from a small amount of blood lust, completely fine. But, Professor Lankford stated that I couldn't have that for another three hours." I told him.

"Yeah, that is something that we would like to see though! You had us all worried in there!" The twins stated.

"Do you not trust in the people that have keeping me safe for the last two months?" I asked. But, at that point, it also hit me as well. I had just been told that a few hours prior too. Did I trust these people? Yes. Did I believe what they said? Most often yes but the odd time, no.

"Welcome to the world of being an adult and a High Priestess at that too." Zoey sttated

"Tell me again why I must be the High Priestess for Ouran? Isn't that the job of the Chairman?" I asked. I really had enough stuff on my things to do when I would get there. This was just one more thing that i had to get done. I still had to go through the parents. And then the students. Why did this have to go through now? I really did have time to regret it now. Right?

There had to be a way that she could still actually communicate with her best friend here at the Tulsa House of Night, right?

"You will do fine as a High Priestess there. Oh, and there is something new going on next year anyways to which you will be able to see me much more often anyways!" Zoey started to say, very enthusiastically.

"What item would that be? And, I still have my doubts. After all, I'm only the same age as you are. I went through a change that I still have no idea what had done to me over all. And, besides the point, I am still a kid!" I told her. I mean, the more that I thought about it, that would be ideal. After all, I did want to be a lawyer still. Though, could a vampyre really get to be one of them? I sure hoped so.

"Well, we're starting to have a conference between the schools. Mostly a communication thing. Once in awhile, you will be required to Skype the other leaders of the High Priestess schools. We will talk. Get to know each other more. Those kinds of things. I am actually looking forward to that kind of day. So, there is the fact that you also will be able to talk whenever for that." Zoey finished.

"Uh huh. And I don't have a computer yet. I was hoping to become a lawyer and then eventually buy myself that kind of a luxury item." I told her, quite bluntly too. I forgot that sometimes these people forgot that I would rather not go through spending so much.

"Uh, technically you will have a computer there. If your vision hadn't pieced that part to you yet, oh well. But, I decided too that once you actually were changed into an adult vampyre, you would be receiving a laptop form me. Also, think of it as an apology gift for not coming to see you. And, then there's all this other work that being a high priestess will give you too. I've even registered your email name too. And, sent it out to the rest of the high priestess vamps out there." Zoey prattled on.

"Is that also including Stevie Rae's email?" I asked curiously. I had to know as that would be more than likely the only way I would be contacting her.

"Yes, it is. Every email address will be stored for your reference though. Just to make everything a lot easier. Do you want to see your laptop or would you be willing to wait for it?" She asked. I debated if I wanted to see it. I was getting hungry again though.

"How about another round of food. Should be close to that kind. Or else that is just me and this new change?" I asked.

"I get it. The change made me hungry a lot too. Why don't we see if we can't raid the girl's dorm kitchen first?!" Stevie Rae asked.

"Hm. I haven't really been in that dorm room in awhile. Oh, and that reminds me that we need to get you out of Aphrodite's room too. You get to move to closer where I sleep." Zoey suddenly remembered. I groaned. Was there really any point to me going there?

"Is that really necessary? I mean, sure I need new clothes due to that damn change and all, but can't I actually just stay with Aphrodite? It's only for another night. Then, I am going home and sleeping back in my own bed for the time until I figure out what is going to happen with the school. I'm sure everything will just stay the same. People coming and going, right?" I asked. I really hated not knowing this.

"I guess that could be true. You'll have to ask Aphrodite though on what she says. She agreed to let you stay with her. Which is rare though too." Zo said.

"Then, let us go get grub! I'm getting tired of the food in the tunnel. Let's go!" Stevie Rae stated.

"We thought that men weren't allowed in the girl's dorms?" The twins asked, mischievously.

"In our sitting room, you guys are more than welcome. Any other time after that, then you will actually have to leave." Zoey stated.

"You know, I thought that you guys would be actually gone by now though. It's actually four in the morning. I'm sure you guys didn't actually sleep on the plane." I yawned. Even I was even in bed by this hour now a days.

"May look like Haru-chan will fall asleep on her feet if we don't get going soon!" Honey-senpai told us all.

"To be honest, even I'm in bed about three thirty in the morning here with being a vampyre." I told everyone.

Zoey laughed a bit. "I'm in bed by 1AM. Nightly."

"That is actually because you don't seem to have a class when I do. I am really starting to hate the scheduling a bit but that is the only way I will stay up for another hour after that point if I ever wanted to study." I told her. We reached the dorm rooms and actually entered into the building. Then, they actually started to get themselves all settled in for the night. I had a feeling that we would actually all just end up sleeping there. i told the others that I was just running up to my room for the minute and a half. I wanted to be as comfortable as possible. And I wanted them to be too. Things just would never change though would it?

It was hard to say the farewells the next day. Or, er, afternoon when the entire group had actually woken up. Before we actually did leave though, Zoey had actually gave me the laptop that she had been talking about the few hours prior. "It is a bit on the state of the art side, but you will do fine. There's all the basics of having a computer at your finger tips. I know that you know how to operate on of those kinds of old PCs where they had to be plugged into a wall and then for internet, into different kind of line. As well, I told your father to actually look into a wireless modem so that you don't have to keep using the mobile hub that is also in the bag. Anything that you need it for, the Tulsa House of Night is going to be paying for it too. Most of it is for us anyways. I wonder if there's anything else." She pondered.

"My email and password?" I asked.

"Oh, yes! All those kinds of important things are also in the file that Erik gave you the other night. I took the liberties to putting that in your laptop case as well. Just so that neither one of us would forget. But, yes, there's all the numbers you will need to get in touch with us all around the globe."

Something else was niggling at my mind but I couldn't think of what it was. Oh, yes, my passport.

"And, this time I do have my passport so that I can keep coming back and forth too if I can. It really gets hard to go anywhere when you don't have one or finally realize that your best friend had it the entire time." I told her.

"That is true. But, again, you will have all of that with you. I made sure of it this time. Oh, also, as you technically still need to learn everything, I downloaded copies of all your texts into your laptop too. I'm still expecting assignments form you to be done. As well, you will have to keep up on your human studies too. I know it will be boring for you as you've grown accustomed to these ones here. Now, go. We can catch up when you are awake again. Blessed Be, High Priestess Haruhi Fujioka." Zoey stated before she all but ushered me off to the plane. We had to go back on the Hosts' private jet. Damn rich people.

"Blessed Be, High Priestess Zoey Redbird." I told her, even including the formal bow. I would miss her too. I just wished that there would be a way for us to actually work together sometime soon again, and for a lengthier time frame that what we were getting. Two months was never enough.

"Have a safe journey, High Priestess!" Erik stated. I really was going to hate being called that.

"Will do, Professor Night." I told him, nodding in his direction before I could get called out one more time. It was not a title that I was actually looking forward to hearing. Constantly at that. I really hoped that I could have teachers that knew what I had been going through. I sighed as I finally sank down into a seat. During the ascent, I wouldn't be able to do much. After though, I figured that I could go through the list of students or the parents. I wish I didn't have to go through them, but they were highly important in their decisions too.

"Are you going to start working so soon too?" The twins asked, half an hour later. Of course, Kyoya was already working on something his father wanted him to do. I, too, had everything spread out so that I could look and see what would happen soon.

"Of course. If everyone's calling me a High Priestess, then there's a lot of work to be done as I have no skills or knowledge on what to do or who I am actually dealing with. I am sure that my goddess, Nyx, is going to be helping me every step of the way. She'll tell me if something is not right, I hope. But, aside from that, I do need a lot of work done before we land." I told them. I took one more look at all the papers before I gave up on them anyways. I turned on my new laptop. Zoey really wasn't kidding when she said that it was state of the art. But, it still looked normal. At least to me anyways. I opened up the book that had also been tossed in there apparently. As well as a thumb drive looking thing. I plugged that in and then I was well on my way to getting even more work accomplished. I had sent out all the emails for the parents to see when they were ready for the meeting.

They all agreed that one date and time would work best. Now, that day would be the day before I was actually going to start back at Ouran. Somehow, the chairman had put me on some sort of educational leave in order to broaden my horizons and all of that kind of stuff. Just so that I wouldn't actually be placed at the bottom of my grades and then therefore lose the scholarship I had been on. Somehow, I wanted to think that something between Zoey and this guy had happened. I wouldn't have been welcomed back so easily as I had left on such sudden terms.

"How's your work going Haruhi?" Kyoya asked me, ten minutes after I had finished composing all of those emails. To which I was now just debating on the different things that I could do.

"Well, I am roughly fifteen per cent done with all the work I have to do. Most of the high priestess is done. Dates need to be confirmed though. Now, for the last bit and that is my actual schooling."
