Animegirl2961: Wow, I seem to be posting my chapters faster than I expected (thought I doubt it'll always be like that). Thanks to everyone who's added this to their favorites/alerts list. After you read don't forget to review. I want some feedback on how I'm doing with the story so far. Is it interesting? :)

Some Call It Love
Chapter 3- The Law of Karma
~*~
"So, Sakura, how do you like it at Ouran so far?"
"Well, the students seem nice," she replied, eyeing them bow as she passed them and walked on the red carpet to the entrance. "I just hope this doesn't happen every day."
"Don't worry, it was only for today, since it's your first time here," Tamaki said kindly.
"Thank god, everything coming out of nowhere almost gave me a heart attack," Lily put a hand over where her heart was.
"Yes, I must agree with you on that," Rose sighed.
"Well, this is where we part and go our separate ways," Tamaki said once they were inside.
"You make it sound so dramatic," Sakura said.
"Don't worry, he makes everything sound so dramatic," Haruhi assured them for the second time today. "But don't get too dramatic, I'll be seeing you at lunch."
Tamaki's ears perked up at hearing this, "You mean you're going to eat with us today?" He had a puppy face on.
"Do you not usually?" Rose questioned Haruhi.
"Usually she eats in the classroom," Hikaru stated.
"All alone and by herself, with no one to talk to."
"Kaoru, you make it sound really bad. But I guess I'll come to lunch from now on since you guys are here." Haruhi looked at Sakura and her twin sister. Yeah, Kyoya will get to meet those three face-to-face, and then he'll know. And Sakura just might be able to make a few small adjustments to his life. Well…we'll see.
"This has made my day! See you at lunch Haruhi." Tamaki started dancing his way to class with Sakura following close by him.
"Say, who else is in the Host Club?" Sakura asked once they were halfway down the hallway.
"Well, you already know that I am and of course, Haruhi. So are Hikaru and Kaoru, but be careful- they're very mischievous. They always try to steal my Haruhi from me." There were fake tears running down his face.
Your Haruhi? Sakura questioned herself.
"And also, Kyoya Ootori. He's the Vice President of the club and he's really quiet…" Tamaki kept on talking about him and another member.
Ootori? So he really is here. Wonder what his personality is like…
"And the last member of the Host Club is Mitsukuni Haninozuka- or you can just call him 'Hunny.'" Even though he's small he's also a Third Year, just like Mori. He loves to eat cake and he always carries a pink toy bunny around. But be careful, he's cute but dangerous- he's a black belt in karate!"
A short cake-eating kid carrying a toy bunny everywhere is suppose to be a black belt in karate that strikes fear in everyone's heart? Sounds fishy. Is cake really all they feed that kid? Sakura pondered over her thoughts.
"Here we are," Tamaki stopped in front of a door. "Ready to meet your new classmates?"
"Yup!" Everyone stared in the direction of the door.
"Suoh-kun…" the teacher trailed off when she saw Sakura.
Tamaki turned to face the teacher, "Sensei, please meet Sakura Seino-san." After hearing her name, ever student in the classroom stood up- even Kyoya, though he was reluctant to.
"Good morning, everyone. I am Sakura Seino, but please just call me Sakura. I hope that we can all be friends," she gave a slight bow. Everyone else bowed back.
"It's such a privilege to meet you," the teacher said excitedly. "I am Haruka Takada, the teacher."
"Nice to meet you, Takada Sensei."
"Now, if everyone would introduce themselves," Takada Sensei told the class. One by one each student said their name and sat down.
"Kyoya Ootori," he stood standing.
Sakura's head snapped up upon hearing his name. They made eye contact for a few seconds until Sakura broke the silence, "Nice to meet you," and smiled.
"Seino-san, no, I mean Sakura-san, just choose a spot any where you want to sit." Takada Sensei said.
"Its fine, I'll just take the empty seat."
"Okay, then you'll be sitting next to Suoh-kun," who was sitting next to Kyoya. So Sakura and Kyoya were only separated by Tamaki. This could get a little interesting.

Sakura started to get up as the bell rang for lunch. By the time she had started to gather her books she was surrounded by people.
"Sakura-san, do you need help carrying anything?" A girl in the crowd asked.
"Do you need help finding your way to the commons?" Questions kept flying out of everyone's mouth.
She sighed inwardly, why do I have to go through this every class?
"Excuse me, but I think it'd be easier if one person helped her."
Sakura looked up to see her savior. Well that was…unexpected.
"I can lead you to the commons," Kyoya said.
It took Sakura a second but she replied, "Um, thank you?"
They started walking towards their destination and as soon as they were out of earshot Sakura started talking, "Thank you for saving me back there."
"I didn't mean for it to be a gesture of savior," he replied not looking at her.
"Then why did you do it?"
He paused for a second then said, "Have you ever heard of the law of Karma?"
Not knowing what he was getting at Sakura just said, "Yes, like the saying 'what goes around, comes around.'"
"Yes, but it goes a little deeper than that. If you do 'good' deeds you gain 'good' karma and if you do 'bad' deeds then you get 'bad.' Also when something 'good' happens to you, you lose 'good' karma and when something 'bad' you lose 'bad.'"
"So it's just a series of gaining and losing?" Sakura questioned.
"Correct."
"So the reason you saved me back there was because it was a 'good' deed and because you plan to gain something out of it?"
"You're very understanding," Kyoya smiled as he held open a door for her to pass.
Fake smile, Sakura thought to herself. He must do that often- he's good at it.
Kyoya eyed Sakura carefully, taking in her features. She had black hair that went to the middle of her back and blue eyes. She was about one or two inches shorter than him and was skinny, but not in the fragile kind of way. She didn't look like the daughter of a wealthy man, but then again, looks can be deceiving. And she's smart too, he wondered, If I had had that conversation with Tamaki or anyone else, they wouldn't have understood.
Sakura sighed to herself again. It seemed as if she had been doing that a lot lately. "You know, if you have something to say to me you can say it."
"I don't have anything to say to you," Kyoya replied, not looking at her.
But you're thinking something, Sakura's thoughts were cut off as they walked into the commons.
"This place is way too big to be a cafeteria," she muttered.
"Sakura, over here!" Tamaki waved from a few tables away. "I'd like you to meet Mori and Hunny," he said as soon as Sakura and Kyoya were at the table.
Hunny stopped eating his cake and got up, "It's a pleasure to meet you Sakura-san," he bowed and so did Mori who was next to him.
"Oh, you don't have to be that polite," Sakura said returning the bow.
Hunny's eyes lit up, "Yay! That means we can be best friends, right Sakura-chan?"
"Yes, of course," she smiled. Sakura-chan? Interesting. Just then she felt two fingers jab her on her sides. "Ow, that hurt," she turned around to face Rose and Lily. "How many times have I told you not to poke me?"
"It's okay, you're not the only one. They wouldn't stop poking me during class," Haruhi walked up from behind them.
"Yeah, it was really funny watching her jump every time," Lily laughed.
"And sometimes she'd make a little 'eek' sound," Rose joined in as Haruhi's face turned pink.
"That must have been interesting."
Rose and Lily turned to see who had talked.
"Oh wait, you must be Kyoya Ootori-kun, right?" Rose asked.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lily Seino, but just call me Lily."
"An I'm Rose Seino, and you can call me Rose," both bowed.
"I'm pleased to meet you. Call me Kyoya," he said putting on another one of his fake smiles.
Lily drifted to where Sakura was and started to tug on her shirt, "Hey, come in line with us."
"No thanks, you two go on ahead," she replied.
"No food?" Hunny asked, tilting his head.
"She has a habit of not eating at lunch because she usually spends it studying for tests. But that's what she gets for not reviewing at home," Rose told everyone.
"Thanks for telling everyone, now are you going to get in line or do I have to kick you until you get there?" Sakura asked innocently.
"We're going! We're going!" both left with smiles on their faces.
Sakura sat down with a sigh and Haruhi sat next to her.
"You sound like you've had a long morning," she said.
"Trust me, I have," Sakura yawned.
"Well don't get too tired."
"You have to come to the Host Club after school."
"Hikaru, Kaoru, what took you so long?" Haruhi questioned as they walked up in front of them.
"Hikaru wanted everything I wanted."
"Not true! You were getting what I wanted," Hikaru put his food down.
"Wow, they fight like Rose and Lily," Sakura said under her breath as they went on mindlessly arguing.
