Zakuro was seated next to a window … the very thing she liked out of the human world was the window seat in the classroom.

She stared into the ever so on going abyss of the blue sky and clouds as her mind wandered back and fourth.

"Zakuro-chan?"

She turned her head upwards and saw the teacher standing over her with a book in one hand and a frown on her face.

"Pay attention in class and keep your mind away from the clouds."

Zakuro frowned back at her and looked down at her desk as the teacher walked back and fourth down the walkways of desks.

A small lock of hair fell in front of her face as she blew it away then gave a small sigh wanting the day to end.

The lunch bell rang as the students stood up; some stretched while others made a small yawn, and walked out of the classroom.

Zakuro was the last one to leave since she didn't like crowds all too much-but as she was heading over to the door she looked back at her teacher.

She had dark golden hair pulled into a single ponytail that curled from the ribbon to the end, dark amber eyes that looked something like rubies in the sun's glow. But what made her seem different was how her teacher treated her from the rest of the class; every time Zakuro would look at her a noir heart would come out.

"Is there something you would like to say?"

Zakuro looked straight ahead, "I want to know your real name sensei."

"Why do you care Zakuro-chan?"

Zakuro turned her head back a bit, "I can tell that you hate me. So it has to be something that either of my parents has done to you."

Her teacher blinked a couple of times as she closed her eyes, "your father knows. My name is Yuika, Zakuro-chan."

Zakuro tilted her head down and walked out of the room and into the arms of Honey-san, "ah what do you want?"

"Let's go have some cakes!"

Zakuro closed her eyes and made him get off of her, "I'm sorry, I need to have a word with someone before lunch is over."

Honey-san and Mori-san watched her walk off as they walked in the other direction towards the lunch room.

Zakuro arrived at a classroom for the second year students, placed a hand on the outside of the door, and moved back a bit as it opened up and the students walked out.

Kyoya and Tamaki were some of the last ones to walk out followed by their substitute teacher, otherwise known as her father Pierre.

The two members looked at her as Kyoya pulled Tamaki away by the arm leaving the father and daughter to talk.

Zakuro looked him dead in the eyes as he talked to her, "what's the matter with you? Has something else happened that I need to know?"

She shook her head as she looked back at him, "it's my teacher. Every time I look at her a noir heart comes out."

He folded his arms and began to walk off, "and your point? You have the ability to take it, so do your duty princess."

He was five feet away when he finished his sentence, "her name is Yuika … I'm sure you know her from somewhere because she says 'your father knows' ... that's my point."

Pierre turned around and looked at her with somewhat shocked eyes, "your teacher is Yuika-san?"

Zakuro reached into her pocket and pulled out a file, "I looked her up and it says that she used to go to the same school you and mama went to when ya'll were little. I don't take that noir heart because I can feel that it doesn't belong to me."

Pierre looked at a downwards angle as she folded the paper back up and walked away, "just let me know if there's anything I should be aware of before I start getting close to her."

Pierre moved his eyes upward as she walked by, her long red hair trailing behind her as she moved in silence.

He waited until she was away that he decided to go to his old Member Yuika.

Pierre looked about the doorways until he got to the right door. He lifted his hand to open the door as it slowly began to open itself.

He used some of his ogre magic to move away from the door and behind a nearby corner where he saw Shinrou walk out with a satisfied smirk to his face.

Pierre carefully leaned out as the boy walked down a nearby flight of stairs leading to the main hallway.

Once it was all clear, Pierre walked over to the door again-this time making a light knock on the doorframe.

He waited a bit before going in and seeing Yuika rubbing her face near her lip, "Prince? What brings you here to my classroom?"

Pierre walked closer until he made her move her arm away from her face seeing a red mark and a busted lip.

"My daughter … but by the looks of it, I say that boy has something to do with this Yuika. Did he hit you?"

She stood up and tried to defend herself. He knew all to well what she was like, "your voice broke Yuika. What is he to you besides someone you care about?"

Her shocked face was the only thing she did.

"Hopefully you're not having an affair with a student Yuika. An old Member of mine has no business with a child like that," he said placing a hand under her chin while he moved it up so she could look him in the eyes.

"Prince …" she whispered as her gaze turned towards the back of the room.

Pierre turned his head and saw some of the students from her class standing in the back of the room. Mori-san, Honey-san, and Zakuro were the ones near the front of the small group.

He let Yuika go as he took a step towards the class as Zakuro darted out of the room.

"Zakuro!"

Pierre followed her down hallways and corridors, "Zakuro wait!"

She didn't want to hear it, tears began to fall down her face as she rounded another corner and became face to face with Kyoya, Tamaki and the super attendant.

She stopped and held her right hand over her chest with her hair falling over her eyes. Kyoya placed a hand on her shoulder while Tamaki tried to give her a hug when Pierre called out Zakuro's name again.

Zakuro placed both of her hands over her ears and started to shake.

Tamaki and Kyoya looked at each other then stood in the way between her and her father with crossed arms.

When Pierre got near them both boys gave her their support. Yuzuru (Tamaki's father for those of you who forgot) looked on at Zakuro as the boys controlled the game now.
