Everyone in the Host Club ran up to Sapphire checking she was okay. Even Kyouya – the normally composed and dignified Kyouya – seemed surprised. Sapphire sat up and spat blood.
"Get out of the way. Run." She didn't look at anyone as she said this, but instead looked straight ahead as if she was looking for something hidden in the bushes and trees that surrounded them. The Host Club members shifted a little to give Sapphy more room. Sapphy stood up and brushed herself down.
"My, my. It seems that the girl has revealed all to her friends." The voice seemed to melt from the trees. A man with brilliant blue eyes stepped out into the clearing.
"But doesn't she know friends are a weakness." Another voice and another man to go with it appeared out of nowhere next to the first man. This one had green eyes, but the pupil was slitted like a cat's. The first man spoke again.
"She still doesn't understand that, even after what happened with her family." Sapphire glared at them for a moment, then spoke.
"Nice to see you too, Takuya and Shouhei. Thanks for the reminder about friends. I'll bear that in mind after I've beat you again." The men just laughed.
"Hmm. How naive. Why don't you just join us, little Narulin's slave?" The cat-eyed man said. The air suddenly felt very damp and little drops of water formed together behind the men. The drops of water joined with each other until a huge water snake was poised behind them.
"You two are idiots. I wouldn't do anything unless I wanted to. That includes keeping the Narulin hidden from you. You guys wouldn't know who the Narulin was, even if she happened to be stood right in front of you!" The huge water snake wrapped itself around the unsuspecting men and froze so that they couldn't move. The cat-eyed man cupped his still free hands together and made a ball of fire. He threw the fire at Sapphire and Sapphire ducked. Haruhi watched this happening horrified. She hadn't believed in magic, but in one day, she had been told about a hidden world and then shown proof. The ice around the men cracked. The breeze that had been gentle started picking up and rain started to fall. After a minute or so, there was a full blown storm. Haruhi looked at Sapphy. Sapphire had her arm in the air with her hand outstretched. Her eyes were closed in a frown and she was muttering something. Could it be that she's the one making the storm? Haruhi shook her head. That was impossible wasn't it? But after what she had seen, nothing seemed to be impossible anymore. Sapphire opened her eyes and looked at the now free men. The blue-eyed man turned to his partner and had to shout to be heard over the thunder.
"Shouhei! Grab one of th..." His voice was cut off by another roll of thunder. The cat-eyed one, now know as Shouhei, disappeared. Sapphire noticed this and looked around frantically. Sappy looked at Haruhi, then opened her eyes wide when she noticed something behind her. Haruhi turned around quickly and was grabbed by Shouhei. Immediately, the wind died down and the rain didn't fall as hard.
"HARUHIIII!" Haruhi looked around and saw Tamaki and Hikaru. They were panicked. The other Host Club members were looking at her too. They were also panicked, but not as much as Tamaki and Hikaru. Haruhi saw Kaoru glance at Sapphire, worried as much for as for Haruhi. Shouhei spoke.
"Now, isn't it easier to talk when there isn't an awful racket?" The thunder and lightening stopped as Sapphire looked at Haruhi in desperation. She mouthed something to her, but Haruhi couldn't make out what. Takuya appeared beside Shouhei.
"It seems you really have made an attachment to these humans." Takuya said. Sapphire glared at him.
"Any human is better than you two low-life scum." She snarled. Shouhei took a knife out of his pocket and pressed it against Haruhi's throat. Sapphire glared at them, her eyes full of hatred. "You bastards!" Shouhei pressed his knife harder against Haruhi's throat. Haruhi struggled not to yell.
"I shall ask you again Sapphire Mizuiro. Are you going to come with us?" Takuya asked quite pleasantly. Sapphire looked at the Host Club members in turn. She looked at Haruhi last. Finally she spoke.
"Fine. On one condition. Promise you won't hurt the Host Club members." Takuya shrugged and Shouhei let got of Haruhi.
"Sounds fair enough to me." Shouhei went up to Sapphire and grabbed her wrists. He muttered a spell and Sapphire's hands were forced together, so that she couldn't move them to do anything. Sapphire knew that with this spell, she also wouldn't be able to do any magic. Busy thinking about how she would get out of this, Sapphy realized too late that Takuya and Shouhei were not planning to let their witnesses go free.
"LET THEM GO! YOU PROMISED!" Sapphire ran up to Takuya and as hitting him, trying to force him with physical pain to let the 6 boys and girl go. Takuya just lifted up his hand and splayed his fingers out. Sapphire was winded by the force that the magic hit her and she was blasted into something hard. She hit her head and knew nothing after that.
Sapphire woke up crying. She had been dreaming about the night her family had been killed. They had indeed been killed by the car accident, only it hadn't been an accident. Their car had been pushed of the road by magic. The people who had done it had been aiming to kill her. After the car had stopped rolling, Sapphire had gotten out to try and drag her parent's bodies out. No sooner had she pulled her mother's body out had someone had called her name. She had turned around and felt pain. She looked at her stomach and saw blood. Someone had stabbed her with something big and round. Sappy looked up to see who had done it, but the effort was too much. Although she wouldn't die from the wound, because of who she was, it would still be enough to make her black out. Maybe even go in a coma. She had heard laughing as she had slipped into the darkness.
Sapphire didn't open her eyes, but instead let her other senses work out where she was. She could feel the floor underneath jolt and bounce. So she was obviously in some kind of vehicle. Maybe a van? She could hear hushed whispers from around her. Probably talking about her. Opening her eyes, she saw Kaoru's concerned face. Her heart beat quicker at this and Kaoru looked up.
"She's woken up." Sapphire looked around and saw the other members looking at her with worry. She tried sitting up, which proved difficult as her hands were still bound, and her head killed. Kaoru noticed what she was trying to do and helped her.
"Are you okay?" Honey asked. Sapphire nodded and instantly regretted it. She knew she had a big bump at the back of her head.
"I'm fine. How long have I been out?" she answered. Haruhi replied by saying she had been out for about an hour. "Okay. Um, can someone help me undo this magic?" Sapphire looked around and saw the confused faces of the Host Club. Sapphy sighed and lifted up her hands which were bound by a pale blue light. "I need someone's help to get rid of these bounders." This confused them even more.
"How do we do that?" asked Tamaki.
"Well, since every person can do magic if put under certain circumstances, I can get into your head and tap into your magic and say the necessary words to undo them. The only reason most people don't do magic is because they haven't found it. I have to warn you though, whosever magic I use, they will be able to do magic afterwards, more easily, but not able to control it. That means that someone, probably me since it's my responsibility, will have to teach them how to control the magic." Sapphire frowned as the lump on the back of her head throbbed with her pulse. A few seconds went by as everyone took in what Sapphire had said. Finally Kaoru said: "I'll do it." Sapphy smiled at him, but Hikaru protested.
"I was just about to I would! No fair!" Sapphy giggled slightly at this.
"Anyone else who wants to do magic I will teach them, but they have to be sure. If you go boasting about it, or do something wrong with it, The Agency has every right to remove your magic and erase your memory." She put on a serious face. "You won't have any recollection of who you are or anything." The twins went quiet at this. Kaoru spoke up again.
"I still want to do it. I won't boast, but it'll be great for pulling pranks" Sapphire nodded once and winced with pain. She closed her eyes and instantly, Kaoru felt someone going into his head. He started to block it out but he heard Sapphy's voice. No, please don't make this harder for me. After a while, Sapphire had succeeded. Okay, this is where it starts feeling weird. Sorry. Kaoru felt a strong power building up inside him. His hands moved on their own accord - well, on Sapphy's accord – towards Sapphire's bound wrists and he started muttering words. He felt the power escape through his hands and watched as the blue light snapped and faded. Sapphire pulled out of Kaoru's body and opened her eyes.
Kyouya watched this with interest and would have written it down if he had had his clipboard with him, but the two men had snapped it and thrown it away when the one name Takuya had thrown them all into the van. He watched as Kaoru sank back, seemingly exhausted from using magic. Hikaru caught Kaoru worried about his brother's sudden loss of energy.
"Sorry. First time users usually get tired after using magic. It happens because the body isn't used to it, but after using it for a while you get less tired, until you're not tired afterwards at all. Kaoru will be fine." Kyouya imagined what he would do if he could use magic. He could get his dad to hand the Ootori Company over to him instead of his brothers for a start. He could become one of the richest people in the world! Hikaru spoke, dragging Kyouya away from his fantasies.
"Can you teach me magic? I want to be able to do magic!" Hikaru grinned his mischievous grin and Sapphire laughed at his eagerness.
"Okay, okay!" Sapphire closed her eyes and Hikaru felt the same sensation Kaoru had felt. He felt the power building up inside him. Sapphire made him let it out by making Kaoru levitate. Tamaki stared awed, by what the twins had done. Pretty soon all the Hosts were slumped against the sides of the van worn out from magic. Honey had the most energy of them all except Sapphy, because he was normally very hyper anyway. 2 hours after Sapphy had woke up the van finally slowed down and stopped. Sapphy muttered a quick spell that made a blue light appear around her wrists, but did not bind them. The doors opened and they were dragged into darkness.
[tell me what you think. I never actually meant for it to turn magicky but because I never do a plot or anything, it just becomes whatever it wants. Sorry for the long wait though. I had writers block and I also didn't go on my laptop for a while! Now the whole story is 6666 words (not including these little bold bits) I know this chapter is sorta short, but hey! At least there is one! :D]
