Ichigo felt a cold presence around somewhere and made her ill. She stopped walking for a second and closed her eyes trying to figure out what was nearby.

"Ichigo?"

She looked up and saw the girls waiting for her further up the steps.

"I felt dizzy all of a sudden that's all. You go on ahead without me I'll be right behind you."

They turned and finished walking up the steps as Ichigo held out her arm and let Blanca down.

"Find out what that power is ok Blanca," she whispered.

"Leave it to me Ichigo-sama," Blanca said back and ran off.

Ichigo stood back up and continued to walk up the steps as the power got a bit stronger and made her stomach churn.

"What is this feeling?"

She got to the top of the steps, looked around, and out of the corner of her eye hiding behind a pillar, was a guy.

Both of his hands were in his pockets, stern look to his face, dark royal purple side swept hair, and gentle looking blood red eyes.

Shivers went up and down Ichigo's back as she started to turn around a nearby corner, but as she did she heard the light footsteps of him and when she stopped and looked into a silver and gold art piece she saw that he was following her.

Ichigo sighed and kept walking.

He kept following her taking light steps and far enough back to disappear whenever he chooses.

Ichigo kept her steady pace as she walked around corners and down corridors past doors and walkways then found herself lost.

She also knew that he was following her.

Ichigo looked up at the chandelier as if to gaze upon its beauty, instead she whispered to herself a spell.

"Zakuro … find the light in the darkness."

Zakuro looked up and turned her head towards the door.

Tamaki did his puppy face as he went close to her, "you're kind of cute when you look serious Zakuro-sempai."

She turned her head back to him as he made a sound as if it were a bark.

"Don't make that face otherwise it'll freeze like that."

He un-puppy made his face, did a fake cough, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"May we announce to you a new member of the Host Club Zaku-ohhh!"

She yelled in his ear as he was trying to finish his sentence.

"I am not joining such a dumb club like yours in order to serve girls! I can do that on my own! I would like to get the hearts of boys instead! Now if you'll excuse me I have somewhere else to be."

She began to walk towards the door as Duke watched her pick up her bag and stop at the door.

Duke looked back to the girls that were in there and saw that they were whispering to each other.

"Her power is close to that of her fathers … the only thing she gets from her mother is her looks and personality … poor Zakuro. Kero-Kero."

Zakuro opened the door and there stood the Lobelia girls with smirks to their faces.

"May I help you," Zakuro said with a stern look to her face.

Benio hugged Zakuro with all her might as Zakuro just stood still with a confused look to her face.

The Host Club gathered around the entrance as the Ouran girls sat and watched from afar.

"Another girl as a guy … what shame does this school have!?"

"Zakuro-semapi got ticked off in an instant," Hikaru whispered to Tamaki.

Tamaki pointed over at Zakuro while making his 'order' face.

"She wanted to dress up like that. Now let her go!"

Benio held her closer, "as if we're going to do that. Did our other member get here yet?"

Zakuro pulled her head out and away from Benio's headlock.

"What member?"

Hinako looked out the door while Chizuru looked around the room.

"We don't see her," they said in unison.

Benio pointed at Tamaki this time, "hand over Ichigo and we'll make this easy."

Zakuro's eyes widened a bit, "Ichigo is here? You left her alone!?"

Everyone looked at her with a surprised look.

Hinako pointed to her face, "she said to go on ahead."

Chizuru did the same, "we thought she knew her way around. She's our new transfer student and new member of the Zuka Club."

Zakuro dropped her bag as her heart shaped necklace fell out.

Duke hopped over and picked it up as the Zuka Club freaked out.

"What's with that weird frog? Both of you have weird pets!"

Zakuro picked up Duke and placed her necklace around her neck, "you saw Blanca? Where was Ichigo when you left her?"

Hinako rubbed a handkerchief to her face, "I wonder why you know about that rat. She was down at the main wing's stairs when we last saw her."

Zakuro ran past them and turned around when Tamaki called out her name.

"Ichigo's my childhood friend and the only family I have other than what I have left. If something happens to her I'll never forgive myself."

Blanca ran past her foot as every single girl screamed to the point where you can hear them across town.

Zakuro saw Blanca, picked her up, put her on her other shoulder, and picked up her run again.

"Blanca where's Ichigo?"

"I can't find her anymore-chu. I left her on the stairs after she said she felt a power; I left Ichigo-sama all alone!"

Zakuro stopped and closed her eyes.

"I feel that power she said. Ichigo!"

Zakuro ran around a corner and kept yelling out her name until she passed by a guy that wore her uniform.

"Do you know where a girl with short hair went too?"

His cheeks turned a light pink.

Zakuro rolled her eyes and walked off as he grabbed her arm.

"What do you want?"

"She's wearing the all girls school uniform right?"

Zakuro turned back around, "hai! Ichigo … where'd she run off too?"

He pointed towards the hallway off to their left side, "that way."

Zakuro took three steps closer to it then stopped again.

"What's wrong," he asked.

"Nothing …" she said then turned her head a bit, "ano … arigato for pointing me in the right way."

He gave a light smile as Tamaki came up from behind him with a smile.

"Ah! Casanova-kun! Thanks for showing the way!"

Zakuro balled up her fist and yelled with all her might.

"What do you mean by that!?"

Tamaki hid behind Kasanoda-san as he whimpered from her shouting.

"The Zuka Club has gone back to their school in hopes to find their member."

She yelled again, "and!?"

"The Host Club thought it would help you out if we spilt up."

She sighed, "and you volunteered to come with me. Well doesn't that earn you a gold star? Screw you!"

She turned on her heel and began to walk off as Tamaki stood up and watched her walk off then turned back to Kasanoda.

"Should I follow her after she said that to me?"

He looked back at him, "should you? It's seems like she doesn't want help unless it's finding the way. From what I've heard about her, she's always been alone."

Tamaki turned his gaze back towards the hall, "soka."

"If you want to follow her be my guest. She's the type that's not afraid of a fight even if it means to hurt herself in the process."

Kasanoda walked off as Tamaki took a step forward towards the hall.
