The night fled as quickly as the morning arrived. Lilith woke up with a sudden start to something banging her head hard. She sat up right away and looked up frantically, already knowing she's not where she fell asleep. In seeing all the black interior, she realized that she was in the family limo. She noticed something off about herself. She was now wearing a puffy yellow dress. Her eyes widened at the horror.
"What the hell?" she exclaimed, not liking not knowing what happened.
Renge laughed at her sister's reaction and said, "you wouldn't wake up so I had to dress you myself."
"But of all things why this?"
"It's the school uniform."
"Renge..." she whispered menacingly.
"You are going to school Lilith."
She sighed deeply and ran her fingers through her hair while asking, "did you at least feed Sapphire?"
"And took her for her walk."
Soon, they arrived at Ouran. Renge got out of the limo right when it stopped. Lilith wasn't so eager though, she just stayed inside. Renge reached inside and grabbed her arm, pulling her out. Right when both of them were out, the limo left. Still having a firm grasp on her sister's arm, Renge dragged her inside the school. Even once they were in the school, the grasp wouldn't loosen. The two walked up a staircase and down a couple of hallways. They entered the 1A classroom just as the bell rang. Lilith didn't dare look at her new classmates. She just kept her head bowed, her bangs helping her block the view.
"Hey everyone!" Renge spoke just as happy as ever. "This is my sister Lilith. She's shy so be nice to her okay?"
Their classmates didn't really care since a sister of Renge's only meant more trouble. Renge pulled Lilith to the back of the room and pushed her down in an empty desk. She then sat next to her and handed Lilith a notebook and pencil. She sighed in annoyance but did take the supplies. The teacher began lecturing. From the first to the last word, Lilith didn't listen to any of them. She simply doodled in the notebook the entire time. She was so zoned out that she didn't realize class ended. She was brought to reality when her pencil was snagged. She looked up with a glare, but quickly lost it when she was met face to face to face with the twins. Overly surprised, she jumped, actually falling on the floor. The two burst out laughing at her reaction.
"Leave her alone you guys," someone scolded them. That someone went over to her and helped her up while saying, "just ignore them."
"Awe, come on Haruhi. It's only a little fun," the twins spoke in unison.
Lilith looked over at Haruhi and asked, "are you normal?"
"I'd like to think so."
"Are you in the same club as them?" she asked, pointing at the twins.
"Yeah."
"How do you handle it?"
"It took a lot of time to get used to them."
"You know you love us," the twins said, as they stood on either side of Haruhi.
Lilith's attitude suddenly darkened and she left the room without a word. Haruhi looked at the two confused and they just shrugged. Kaoru noticed the notebook left behind and picked it up. The three scanned the page curiously. On the page there were multiple eyes drawn on it. They all were either glaring or surprised. To add onto that, 'demon eyes' and 'devil eyes' were written all over the page. Kaoru put the notebook back down after it freaked him out enough. The twins realized then that Renge was not just trying to fool them. There was something seriously wrong with her sister.
"Is that really necessary Renge?" Haruhi asked her.
Renge entered the third music room dragging in a tied up Lilith behind her. She looked over at the concerned Haruhi answering, "yes it is. She will run away if I don't."
Lilith looked at Haruhi, her eyes begging for help. Haruhi noticed that and took the rope from Renge. She untied Lilith easily. Once she was free the two stood up.
"You mind talking with me for a moment?" Haruhi asked.
"Not at all."
The two left the club room, shutting the door behind them. They walked over to the closest window and peered outside. The sky was bright blue with white, puffy clouds scattered about. The sun was still high in the sky. Students were coming and leaving the campus.
"Lilith, do eyes bother you?" Haruhi asked cautiously, not wanting to upset her.
Lilith smiled bitterly answering, "more like a certain type that I'm being forced to face now."
"What type?"
She shook her head and said, "I can't just say. Just the thought of it makes me shake. If I say it now I might vomit."
"Do you have a phone?"
"Yeah," she answered, pulling it out.
Haruhi took it and pressed a bunch of buttons. Lilith watched her curiously. After a little more than a minute, she got her phone back. Her eyes widened at all the new numbers, seven to be exact. Haruhi explained that she put all the host club members' numbers on there.
"I don't recognize any of these names," Lilith mumbled.
"Then for today why don't you visit the club? You can stick with me."
"I don't know..."
"I'll make sure they don't harass you."
"If you're so sure..."
Haruhi nodded and began walking back to the club. Lilith tailed behind her, still not liking the idea of it. The two entered the room. All eyes were on them for a moment, but just for a moment. Soon after the looks, everyone was back to what they were doing. Lilith was greatly relieved by that. She followed her favorite host to her guests. She didn't pay any attention to Haruhi or her guests though. She, instead, listened carefully to her surrounding area. The taller blonde, Tamaki, seemed to be the sweet talker of the group. It sickened her how easy it was to sweet talk to so many girls. The one that dares call her Lily, was just eating cake to his heart's delight. Made sense to why his name's Honey. His taller companion, Mori, seemed like wasted space. She just couldn't figure out why girls would like such silence. The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, have the most... unique theme in her opinion. For some reason she found it difficult to feel disgusted by them but they would be the last hosts she'd sit with. The slicked back hair Kyoya didn't really ever seem to attend his guests. Instead he went around to the other groups, selling merchandise. By the end of the club, she had a much better idea of who they all were. She could tell that they weren't bad people, but she knew that trusting them still wouldn't be easy. She tried to sneak out with all the other guests but Renge was able to spot her out and dragged her back into the room.
"So Lily-chan, what did you think?" Honey asked her happily, running up to her. Instead of responding verbally, she glared him with deep hatred. "Wah!" he cried, running over to his overly sized friend.
"Why don't you like that name? It's so similar to your actual one..." pondered Tamaki.
"Doesn't matter."
"Well Lilith, what did you think?"
"You guys are definitely different."
"Awe, thanks for the compliment," a twin now to her right said.
"Who knew Lily had a sweet side?" the other twin questioned, standing to her left.
That simply pushed her over the edge. She pushed away the twin to her right and kneed the twin to her left in the gut. Right when he doubled over she left. Kaoru went over to his pained brother and helped him stand.
Haruhi walked up to the two saying, "you can't just play with everyone's feelings at your own accord. She is really hurting, you can't just tease her."
"Haruhi..." whispered Kaoru.
"Seems ridiculous to me," muttered Hikaru.
"Hikaru?" questioned his surprised twin.
"I mean, why would someone get so mad just from a name?"
"Ask her that yourself," Haruhi told him.
"Why bother?"
"Then you'll never find out," she answered, walking away.
"Come on Hika-chan, why don't we find out?" Honey asked him.
"Leave me out of it," he answered, walking over to the couch, sitting down.
Kaoru followed his brother and sat next to him. The rest of the club watched them confused. Hikaru was still rubbing his stomach where he got hit. Even Kaoru was trying to figure out what his brother was thinking. He didn't get any answers though. When enough awkward silence passed by, the club left the room.
"Why do they want to know Sapphire..?" Lilith whispered to her husky. The dog barked happily and she wrapped her arms around her. "I'm of no concern of theirs..."
The sound of the front door shutting alarmed her. She quickly wiped away her tears and let out a shaky sigh. Renge entered the living room where Lilith was sitting on the couch with her dog sitting in front of her. She turned the lights on and noticed the red tint around Lilith's eyes. She sat next to her and held onto her.
"Why are you doing this to me..?" Lilith whispered.
"It's not like that Lilith. Father sent you here because of the twins. They're not going to hurt you, no one in the club is going to hurt you."
"I wouldn't be crying right now if that was true..."
"It's just a name Lilith. That's all it is."
"What do you know?" Lilith simply exploded.
She broke out of Renge's arms and ran out of the room with Sapphire following her.
