Hi guys :) thankf for reviewing!

Echo, yeah, go for the drawing, I don't mind if the hands suck, I can't really draw great anime peoplez... lol

Um... Happy Chappy!!! :D


"How am I meant to come up with something for your Halloween thing? Besides, second years have a thing to do too..."

The twins started whining at me, and I just blanked them... I didn't need this at the moment. Since the weekend when I had those flashbacks of when dad died... I'd kind of been put out. Kyouya and Takashi were the first to notice, as always, and had fussed for a while... but when I told them I was fine and to just drop it, they listened and complied.

Honey was the first to notice that I had a doll in my pocket, and that I wasn't letting it out of my sight... when I explained to him about the doll, he understood completely and said that his rabbit was made for him by his late grandma.

"Come on guys! Costumes!" shouted Tamaki, holding up several bags.

I sighed, grabbed the one with my name, and went to get changed.

I saw the guys pulling out tailcoats and top hats... and could only wonder what I had to wear.

It was a black silk dress, that started as a sort of strapless dress, and went right down to pool around my feet. It had silver flecks through it, and in a way it seemed to look like rain. I then had to put sort of goth gloves, that went right up the length of my arm and stopped around my upper arm, level with the top of the dress on my bust. There was white ribbon that I had to spend ages trying to lace up through the whole length of the glove, and eventually Kaoru took pity on me and did it.

Then they fixed long extensions in my hair, so that came to about my waist, and then I had to colour the bangs white to match the lace.

I looked like a goth.

I also had to put in vampire teeth... not the cheap ones you get from the corner shop, but real strong ones that you stick to your canine teeth to make them seem bigger and pointier.

In all truth, I looked awesome, with a roar.

When I'd gone into the club room, I had to smile at the decorations. There were coffins and skeletons, pumpkins and eerie flickering candles everywhere.

They'd even gone as far to put fake spiderwebs up everywhere to make it look like some sort of crypt.

It was just so cool... I could live here.

All the guys were in old suits, with ruffles, and Kyouya and Takashi had donned top hats, whereas the other kind of abandoned them. They also had those massive collars that came up really high... it was like Transylvania.

I wanted to happy dance, but I didn't think that would be such a great idea.

They'd think I'd gone crazy.

"you know, we should really start planning..." grumbled Haruhi, looking into her bag, still not in costume.

"Too true Haruhi~" grinned Hikaru.

"And we shall~" laughed Kaoru.

"Boss! From now until Halloween-"

"Count us out."

Tamaki nearly died from the horror of that fact.

"Count you out?" asked Honey, looking at them.

"We're on the preparation committee for a special event!" they chorused, looking very proud. "Class 1-A is sponsoring it."

"Duty calls then." drawled Kyouya, though I was slightly surprised he didn't object.

"Have fun without us here for a week." they laughed, then started walking off.

I watched as Tamaki ran forwards and grabbed them, asking them why Haruhi was going... and Kaoru suddenly looked strange... as if something had dawned on him.

I'd have to ask him later.

But as Tamaki kept ranting on about it being an after dark thing, and it wasn't good, and blah blah blah, I sidled up to the younger twin and nudged him.

"Wassup?" I whispered.

"...Have you noticed... that we may just be members of a host club, but the boss calls Haruhi his daughter, and imagines us to be members of his family?"

"Yeah...?"

And he... just shrugged. Okay?

"Okay, time to go now!" said Hikaru, so Kaoru seemingly snapped out of his trance and waved bye.

Then there was some creepy laughter that I knew all too well, so I smiled and turned to one of the coffins that was opening.

"Nekozawa sempai?" said Tamaki, looking really scared. "When did you...?"

"Well now, isn't this interesting? What was that? You think it sounds like fun, Belzeneff? You may just be on to something there..." his bright blue eyes twinkled almost evilly from under his hood, and he seemed to be concocting something. "If it's fear they want, the black magic club would be happy to oblige. After all, what's Halloween without a healthy dose of pure, unadulterated terror?"

He laughed again, and the coffin closed by itself, which even I thought was a little freaky.

Tamaki, I think, had just crapped his pants, so I walked away from him, and knocked on the coffin.

"Who is it?" chimed Nekozawa, in his creepy little voice.

"Saori~" I chanted back, smiling.

The door opened , and he peered out at me.

"Yes? How can I help you?" he asked.

"Well, I was just wondering how Kirimi was getting on."

"Oh? Wonderfully, she even visits me sometimes in my room! She's gotten used to shrouding herself in black, and she hasn't brushed her hair through for days, so she looks like a pale little blue eyed zombie!"

He seemed very happy about this, so I didn't exactly want to say I thought it was strange, and I smiled.

"That's so cool that she's making an effort... but have you tried getting used to the light since...?"

He cringed, so I trailed off...

"I... uh... I use flashlights instead of candles when I'm walking around the house."

I laughed.

"It's a start. Anyways, I just wanted to know... you can get back to scheming."

"Okay~"

the door creaked closed again, and I left him to it.

What a funny little guy.

A week passed pretty quickly, and soon it was Halloween night. Tamaki had called us all after school and asked us to get to club asap. to sort something out. When there, we found him cowering under a bright light while the rest of the black magic crew were decking each other out to look as scary as possible.

I had come dressed in my skinnies that had skeleton hands over my back pockets, so it looked like some skeleton had grabbed my butt, and I had worn my new black tee that my mum sent me from england that said "I poke badgers with spoons". I loved it. I'd slipped my black converse on just before I came out, so I did pretty much look goth. I'd had to wear my glasses tonight though because I'd lost my contacts... I know, face-palm.

I noticed Nekozawa holding something up, and trying to coax Tamaki out of the light.

"Suoh... just put your costume on..." grumbled Nekozawa, actually seeming pissed off.

"I'm not touching that thing!" cried Tamaki, blanching away from the white cloak and mask.

"Dear lord..." I muttered, striding forward, taking the costume, and thrusting it at Tamaki. "Get it on or I will scare you... remember I like all this crap too... and you don't know what I'm capable of."

I tilted my head slightly, and smirked as the light glared off my glasses. Tamaki seemed to pale, because I must have looked creepy myself.

"O-okay..." he whimpered, taking the costume and running to the changing rooms to get it on.

"Takashi-san, we'll get you in your costume..." smiled some of the black magic clubbers. One was a young girl, she must have just joined recently because I didn't recognize her from when I was in the club room that time. She had curly blond hair, but her eyes seemed the color of wine.

Another was a girl with long black hair, and she had gray eyes. They gave him a tattered looking school uniform, and then started applying face paint to make him look a zombie.

Honey simply got a large pumpkin head, and Kyouya refused his wolf costumer because he 'didn't want to play'.

"Saori... wasn't sure what you'd be best suited as..." said Nekozawa, looking at me.

"It's okay, I brought my own costume." I smiled, winking at him.

I walked into the changing room, and pulled out a costume that I'd stashed here earlier in the week.

It was an old night dress, in silk, but it had been torn to look all strange. It was meant to come down to the floor, but I'd ripped it until it was knee length, and the arms were gone so it would just hand off my shoulders. I stripped down to my boxers and bra, then rubbed baby talcum powder all over me to make me look paler than I already was.

I slipped the nightie on, , then pulled out my face paint. I covered my whole face in white paint, then made my eyes look set in by covering the skin over the eyes sockets gray, then putting black mascara and eyeliner on. I'd kept in the extensions from earlier this week, and I back combed all my hair to make it look matted. I put in the colored contacts I'd gotten, so now my eyes looked a milky white, and though it was a little blurry, it was still cool.

Then for the piece de resistance, I pulled out a bottle of liquid fake blood, and some more makeup.

Spattering some over the front of the nightie, especially around the top, then I poured loads around my neck, and my shoulders. I used some specialist makeup to make it look like I had scars and wounds all along my neck and shoulder, like I'd been stabbed. I smiled at the gaunt girl in the mirror, and then made my way out.

Walking out, the host club seemed very surprised at my ensemble, but the black magic club seemed very impressed.

"I think we have a possible new recruit." called out of the younger boys in it, with curly brown hair and deep brown eyes, like chocolate.

"I don't think so!" snapped Tamaki, but instantly hid behind Kyouya when the black magic people turned on him.

"Come on guys, pull yourselves together!" I laughed, and Nekozawa chuckled too.

"Indeed... let's get this show on the road!"
