Disclaimer: Bleeeh. I don't own Ohshc.

Okay. This chapter is MOSTLY gonna be with Shelby. I have the times so out of whack in the different places, it's not even funny. Over with Addie it's around eight in the morning, and by Shelby and Becky its around nine at night. So, I'm gonna get the time straitened out in this chapter.

Shelby stepped into the huge mansion, her sandals sinking into the carpet. She wobbled a bit, but eventually got used to it. Kyouya and Akito led her into the living room, where Yoshiro Ootori sat in wait.

"Ah, Shiinozuka Shelby… Is that you're truck outside?"

"Yeah. Isn't it cool?" Shelby said, glancing out the window to see her giant glowing truck slightly loosing its glowiness.

Yoshiro made no comment. "May I call you Shelby?"

"Sure…" Shelby said. Being born in America, it annoyed the hell out of her when people called her Shiinozuka-Chan or Shiinozuka-San or her last name with some other tag slapped on the end. "You wished to meet me?"

"Yes, yes. It seems as though you are acquainted with my sons?"

"Yes."

"How do you know them?"

"Kyouya and I go to school together, and I just met Akito."

Yoshiro nodded. "May I speak to you alone?"

"…Yes…"

The man stood up, and walked out of the room, and Shelby followed.

Yoshiro turned to her. "It seems Kyouya has taken a liking to you, Shelby."

"It would seem that way."

"Shelby… That's a foreign name, isn't it?"

"Yes; it's American. I was born there."

Yoshiro smiled. "A foreigner, huh? How long have you been in Japan?"

"I moved here last year. Why?"

"Just curious. You live alone, I presume?"

"No, I live with my two best friends."

"And who are they?"

"Rebecca Eimer and Adrianne Hanako." (A/N: Real names that nobody really knows/cares about!)

"What do they do?"

"Becky is a photographer, and Addie models- but she's looking for a job that won't take up much time."

"Are they dating?"

"Yes." Shelby lied. Well, half-lied. Addie DID have a boyfriend, and she felt that Yoshiro was being a little too nosy.

"Really? Who?" Yoshiro asked.

"That isn't any of your business." Shelby responded, voice getting hostile.

Yoshiro turned away from her. "Snippy, aren't we?" The redhead did her signature glare; it was rumored to make one's head explode (A/N: Anyone seen Scanners?).

The man faced her again, and Shelby recomposed herself. "Yes, I have a tendency."

"Incompetent, too."

"No, not incompetent, just easily annoyed."

"You aren't suitable."

"Suitable for what?" Shelby asked, dislike for Yoshiro growing with every word he spoke.

"For dating my son."

"Why the hell would I wanna date Akito?"

"DON'T TALK BACK TO ME, BITCH." Yoshiro's voice was icy beyond words.

Shelby took on a moment of shock for a minute. Few people had dared call her a bitch. She shook her head. "Me? Well, I must say you have some balls to call me a bitch." The orange eyed girl stated, malice dripping from her voice.

"And you have some pride to be talking like you are to one of the wealthiest men in Japan."

"I will speak however I please, to whomever I please, whenever I please. You have no right to shut me up."

"I wasn't telling you to shut up."

"Yes you were, in a roundabout way."

Yoshiro glared at her, and she glared back. He had totally pissed her off; beyond point of return.

"I can't believe Kyouya's put up with you for this long." Shelby said.

"Hm?"

"Kyouya's not the time to put up with shits like you. He actually can see people for who they are, no matter how thick the mask is. He's a great person- and you won't let him prove it." Shelby took a moment to breathe. "I know how hard he tries to inherit the company. I hope to god he does. He'd do a much better job than you." She finished, leaving the older Ootori speechless. "Now, if you excuse me, I have to get home… These shoes are killing me."

Yoshiro nodded.

Shelby smiled, and walked out of the room. She walked past Kyouya and Akito, and another boy who had come downstairs.

Oops… Guess I was a bit loud. Ah well, I won the argument. Shelby thought, smiling at Kyouya and the new boy, before walking out the door. She was about to jump to the driver's seat, when Kyouya's voice stopped her.

"So, how'd it go?"

"Uhm… Not well."

--Later--

"SHELBY! YOU SAID YOU'D BE BACK LATER! IT'S NEARLY ONE IN THE MORNING!" Becky yelled. "YOU MISSED DEATH NOTE!!"

"Aww, what happened?"

"…L died."

O.O

"L… died?" Shelby said, sounding like she was about to cry.

"Sorry." Becky said. Shelby sighed.

"L… I'll miss you!!" She cried, walking miserably up the stairs.

She walked in her room, and stepped over her stack of Nintendo Power magazines. She flopped onto her bed, getting over the death of her favorite DN character, L. Shelby flipped her shoes off, sending them flying to the other side of her wall.

She just fell asleep, to tired to even think about it.

--Morning--

"When the devil is to busy;

And that really is too much.

They call me-"

"Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh…." Shelby groaned, slamming her hand down on the alarm clock.

"Shelby…?"

"Rrrrrrr…" Shelby growled from under her blankets.

"You have to get up- you have to DJ at nine." The Shiinozuka girl rolled over and looked at the clock. 8:50.

"Becky… Why didn't you wake me up?!"

"I tried, but you threw your lamp at me." Becky responded from the door, pointing to a band-aid in her arm.

--With Addie and Tamaki (FINALLY)--

"So, what do you want for breakfast, princess?" Tamaki said, carrying Addie bridal style down the stairs.

Addie yawned and stretched. "Pancakes."

"Alright." Tamaki put the blonde girl down, and called for a maid. He whispered something in her ear, and the maid nodded. With that she ran off.

"Breakfast will be ready in about fifteen minutes." Tamaki responded. Addie stared after the maid.

"I should ask Shelby if we can get maids."

Tamaki laughed a bit. "They sure do create laziness… they don't let you do anything."

"The last thing we need is to have Shelby be more lazy. And I think Shelby actually enjoys the fact that she can't see the original color of her carpet."
