Aki smiled slightly. She felt less nervous now that the host club was here; it felt less like a date and more of a hang out. Tamaki smiled as he approached. "You look lovely Aki."

"Thank you."

"Well Kyoya so this is why you cancelled on us, you had a date."

Aki blushed at the word date. Kyoya kept his composer casual and voice cool, "What I do, Tamaki, on my time, is none of your business."

Haruhi came up to Tamaki's side. "I'm sorry Senpai, I tried to tell him. Come on, let's go, Tamaki-Senpai." Haruhi grabbed his hand. Tamaki smiled at this. He spun her around and took her to the dance floor. "Why not enjoy the party, Haruhi."

Aki smiled, the twins were glaring at them. She shook her head. "Hey you dyed your hair."

The twins stopped glaring and looked over at Aki. "Yeah, I'm Hikaru."

She smiled, "I like it."

Hikaru held out his hand, "Care to dance."

Aki sneaked a peak at Kyoya, who looked cool, "Sure, love to."

Hikaru spun her out to the dance floor. He was a good dancer, just as good as Kyoya, yet the feeling wasn't the same. She looked around as he spun her and found, Kaoru dancing with a girl, and Honey as well. After a few songs, they all exited off the dance floor and to the table where Kyoya and Takashi sat at.

By now the Host Club had gained some attention. "So this is what a commoner's dance is like. It isn't very impressive."

Aki smiled at Tamaki's rude yet innocent comment. "It's just a school dance, Tamaki, nothing special."

"Then what's the point?"

"Just so friends and couples come hang out and see each other. It's fun."

"Ouran dances are way better than this." Kaoru stated.

Aki smiled. "Well I think it's pretty." Honey said.

"Well, well, you actually showed. You know I thought you were lying when you said Kyoya was your boyfriend. Guess I was wrong." Michi came up to the table, with a snug smile and a handsome boy on her arm, yet nowhere as handsome as the Host Club.

Everyone froze at the word "Boyfriend" and looked from Aki to Kyoya. Aki grimaced, "Yeah, I don't have anything better to do then lie to you."

Michi frown, "So how much did you pay the rest of them to come."

"They're my friends. What's that I detect is it, jealousy, perhaps envy, or maybe anger."

Michi sneered, "Don't flatter yourself; you turn back into a pumpkin at midnight. You'll be back to cleaning my fireplace in no time, little mouse."

Aki sneered and was about to shoot up, but Takashi had put his hand on her shoulder before she knew she was about to attack Michi.

She walked away with a satisfied smile.

"What was that about?" asked Tamaki.

"That was the bane of my existence." Aki growled, "She's had it out for me, every since middle school. I have no idea why. She's pretty, popular, has the best boyfriend, yet she wastes her time, torturing me."

"Why does she think Kyoya-Senpai is your boyfriend?"

"We saw Michi at the mall and she was being all high and mighty…"

"I was just doing Aki a favor, as acting as her boyfriend for tonight; of course she'll return it, naturally."

"Yeah," Aki glared after Michi, "naturally."

Girls started to notice how handsome the host club was, they started gathering around the table, trying to talk to them. Aki got up before they could trap her in. She walked into the hall way and took a deep breath.

Kyoya saw how irritated she was, when they saw Michi. He was just pretending, to help her out. Of course it wasn't real. She was foolish to believe for even a second Kyoya was interested. Maybe she was never interested in him. She guess she was just fooling herself, 'cause he was the first boy that seemed attracted to her. She just got caught up. It wasn't real, her feelings or his.

Aki stopped and found herself in front of a door that would lead her to the roof. She opened it and smiled. It was cool and silent out there. All she needed was her sketch book.

"You'll catch a cold."

"Guess I better catch it, before it catches me." Aki turned to see Takashi, "Sorry that was a stupid joke."

He smiled slightly and handed her his jacket. "Here"

"Thanks. So what are you doing out here."

"You left without a word."

"Yeah, well the table was getting a bit crowed." It was silent for a while, "Thanks by the way, for stopping me earlier. I wanted to pound her." She paused, "Does that make me a bad person?"

"No."

"I don't hate her; I just want her to leave me alone. I want to understand why she seems to hate me so."

"You're a better person then her. You're pretty, talented, and kind."

Aki blushed at Takashi's comment. She turned to him and gave him a small smile, Takashi, the strong silent type, a kind, protective, understanding, and caring person."You really think so?"

"Yeah," He turned to her, put his hand on her head, and ruffled her hair a bit. She felt like a kid and realized she was disappointed. She wasn't expecting a pat on the head, she was hoping for a kiss. She smiled anyway.

"Guess we should head back. The dance will be over soon."

Aki and Takashi head back down stairs. They slipped in quietly and found the Host Club still surrounded by girls. Takashi held out his hand, she gladly accepted it. They danced once and headed over to rescue the Host Club.

The girls had disappeared. "Well, you guys had some attention tonight, didn't you?"

"I'm exhausted!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"Me, too, come on Takashi," Honey climbed on his shoulders and gave a big yawn. "Let's go home."

"Bye Takashi, Mitsukuni." Aki stood on her tippy toes and gave Honey a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight."

Honey looked surprised and gave her a smile, "Goodnight."

They walked away. "Hey how come Honey-Senpai gets a goodnight kiss?" Hikaru asked.

"Yeah, we want one too." Kaoru said.

They each stood on either side of Aki. She smiled, "Well because he's cute."

"We're cute too." They said together.

"I suppose I can't argue with that." She turned and gave each twin a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight."

They turned and left after Takashi and Mitsukuni. Tamaki came up with a puppy dog pout. "Goodnight Tamaki." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled, took Haruhi's hand and left. Aki turned to see Kyoya.

She didn't know how to feel. Should things be awkward or normal?" She looked at the clock over his head. "Almost midnight, guess it's time for me to turn back into a pumpkin."

"I guess it is." They headed out to his car. The ride was short and silent. Aki got out of the car and turned back to Kyoya. "Thank you, for being my prince, even if was only for tonight." She kissed him on his cheek. "Goodnight Kyoya."
