Hikaru woke up the following day to a slam. He looked around, trying to remember what happened the previous day. When he moved his head, something fell on his right shoulder. Looking over, he noticed the soundly sleeping Lilith. His eyes widened in surprise and he jumped away. He quickly regained his composure and looked over at her. She had fallen on her side, still in slumber land. He made his way back over to the couch and sat in front of her. He poked her cheek out of curiosity, and she held onto it. In pulling his hand free, she woke up. She opened her eyes and stared into his. It took her over half a minute to realize someone was in front of her. When she finally did, she jumped in surprise and ending up falling on the floor hard. Groaning lightly, she rubbed the back of her head. He stood over her, with an amused grin. She looked up at him and frowned.

"That's really creepy," she pouted.

He chuckled saying, "sorry." She stood up and stretched. When she was done stretching he asked, "last night was weird huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Our ties."

"Oh yeah... That was really strange. I thought for sure if you kept playing you would screw up eventually."

"Not going to happen."

She looked around before asking, "where's Kaoru?"

"Behind you," Kaoru answered.

She jumped in surprise, going behind Hikaru. She clung onto his right arm as her heart tried to settle from the mini heart attack. The two just laughed at her. Even so, she wouldn't let go of the arm. He looked down at her confused. Her hands were shaking like leaves. Her head was lowered but Kaoru could see the panic screaming from her eyes. He frowned and walked over to her.

"I'm sorry Lilith," he spoke softly, resting his hand on her shoulder.

"I-It's okay..." she stuttered.

She still wouldn't let go of Hikaru's arm though. He sighed deeply. She could sense a small annoyance from him and so she slowly let go. Kaoru grabbed onto her hand and dragged her out of the room. Hikaru simply followed. Lilith was taken all the way to the back door of the manor. Just as the glass door opened, Sapphire pounced on her. She was caught off guard and was about to fall on the floor but the twins just barely caught her.

Surprised that they caught her, she said, "thank you."

They helped her stand and Kaoru said lightheartedly, "your dog is very loving."

She smiled and kneeled down in front of her. She lifted herself up enough so that she could rest her paws on Lilith's shoulders. Her smile grew and held her tightly while saying, "when she was the only friend I had for years she's used to a lot of attention. She even learned how to hug."

"You poor thing!" the twins spoke together, rubbing their heads against hers.

"You three are getting along better than I imagined," Tamaki's voice came from behind them.

They turned around and Hikaru asked, "hey Boss, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick up Lilith."

"Why?"

"Because of Sapphire biting him, I'm his 'slave' until his hand is healed," she answered.

"Why are you staying with us then? You should be staying with him," nudged Kaoru.

"Grow up," she flatly told him.

"You guys should hurry up at get ready before you're late," Tamaki stated.

The twins agreed and stood back up. Before Lilith had the chance to do the same, the two picked her up by her arms. Keeping her airborne, they made it back to the room she was supposed to sleep in. They dropped her off and then went into the room just to the right of hers. She went into her unused room and found her uniform on the bed, freshly cleaned. She quickly changed into it. When she was done she left the room, fiddling with the collar. As she made her way back towards the stairs, she kept mumbling to herself how she hated it. Right as she was about to take her first step down, Kaoru approached her from the left and Hikaru from the right.

They both cupped her chin and whispered into her ears, "we'll help you it take it off when we get back."

Her pulse skyrocketed and she pushed them away. Before they could catch her again, she ran down the stairs. She found Tamaki waiting for her at the front door and made her way over to him. Right when he noticed her, he opened the door. The two left, without once glancing back at the greatly amused twins.


Classes went really well to Lilith's surprise. She expected to be surrounded by the other student because of her appearance, but the protective barrier of the twins, Haruhi, and Renge stopped that from happening. She was actually able to get herself to pay attention to the teacher and actually absorb the information. She was actually enjoying being at school which she never thought would happen. When classes were over, she went to the locker room with Renge to pick up their stuff before heading over to the host club. Lilith opened her locker and two letters fell to the floor. She picked them up and looked at them confused. Renge was already ready to go so she just dropped the letters in her back and shut her locker. She caught up with her sister and they made their way to the club.

"So Lilith, what was it like staying with those idiot twins?" Renge questioned.

Lilith smiled a bit and answered, "actually it was pretty fun."

"We like this sister more," the twins said together as they pulled her away from Renge.

She looked up at them asking, "why are you following?"

"We're going to the same place," Kaoru said.

"So why not follow?" Hikaru finished.

"Whatever."

"What is this?" Hikaru asked, pulling out one of the two notes that was sticking out of her bag.

"It's a paper with words on it, now give it back," she said reaching out to it.

He kept it out of her reach and asked, "and what words might those be?"

She crossed her arms in annoyance and said, "I haven't had the chance to read it yet."

He put the note to his lips saying, "what do you think of this Kaoru? I think someone is having fascinations of our new toy."

"That may be Hikaru, we might have to investigate."

She tried to take the note back since it was within arm's length. He grinned and raised it above his head saying, "you're going to have to try harder than that."

Her eyes narrowed and she gave her bag to Renge. His grin widened and he took a step back. With the step back, she took a step forward. Before she tried to take it again, he took off running. Without any hesitation, she chased after him. Kaoru simply smiled and continued his way to the club room. Renge began to tag along until other classmates caught her attention. When he entered the room, he noticed that only Honey and Mori were in the room. They were just staring out the window.

"Hey Kao-chan?" asked Honey.

"Hmm? What is it Honey-sempai?" he asked back.

"Why is Lilith chasing Hika-chan?"

"What? They're already outside?" he asked, joining the two at the window.

Indeed, the two were on the courtyard. Hikaru was just barely out of Lilith's reach. The few students that were also outside watched them completely puzzled. He was obviously completely amused by her. She on the other hand looked like she was ready to beat him down. Kaoru chuckled and explained the situation to the two upperclassmen.

"Kao-chan, have you added Lilith to your plans?"

"They get along well, don't they? For someone as damaged as Lilith and someone as closed minded as Hikaru it's kind of funny. Last night the two of them played video games for hours. The two were more in sync than I was with him playing games ever. He's still unaware of his feelings for Haruhi. That might be for the best though. It's painfully obvious that she doesn't dismiss Tamaki. Both Lilith's and Hikaru's worlds are about the same size. Together they could explore what's really out there."

Mori rested his hand on his head saying, "don't forget your heart."

He looked up at Mori, but before he could say anything the door opened and Tamaki entered saying, "sorry we're late!"

The three looked over seeing Tamaki, Haruhi, and Kyoya entering the room. Haruhi was the first to notice something amiss and she asked, "where's Hikaru and Lilith?"

"Look outside," Honey said.


In order to catch his breath, Hikaru climbed up a tree. He sat down on a sturdy branch and leaned against the trunk. Lilith stayed on the ground, but she kept her eye on him as she caught her own breath. A good moment passed before he got his motivation back. He looked down at her and she glared right back. He smirked and began to open the note. A small growl emitted from her throat as she climbed up the tree to get to him. Unfortunately for him, he didn't expect her to do that in the least and so he didn't even bother checking for her. Right when he was about to look at the note, she snatched it from him. His eyes widened and he looked at her. She stuck her tongue out at him and jumped down. He chuckled and followed suit. The two began making their way back to the building.

He wrapped his arm left arm around her shoulders saying, "you make a good rival."

"Rival? I'm too good to be your rival," she said as she pushed him into the pond.

She heard bursts of laughter and looked at the windows seeing the rest of the host club watching. She looked at them surprised, not expecting to be watched. When she was about to continue walking she noticed Kaoru was trying to signal something to her. He was spinning his index finger in a circle. When she finally figured out what he was trying to tell her, she turned around. She couldn't help but jump when she saw a drenched Hikaru looking down at her. Without even giving her a chance to run, he picked her up and put her over his shoulder. She began to fight against him right away. With her trying so hard to get free, she didn't even realize she dropped the note. He wouldn't let her go though, not at least until she was over the pond.
