[GAH! I am soooooo sorry! There are two main reasons why you should hate me right now!
This is only the first part of the last chapter.
I haven't uploaded in weeks! Well, two or three, but you knooow!
The reasons why I haven't updated.
Writer's Block came to visit one night and overstayed his welcome by two weeks.
I remembered about an art project that needed finished before school started again, so \i needed to finish it.
School started.
Describing Colours won't be updated for a while since I haven't even STARTED chapter 4 yet. I still have writers block the end of this chapter. Please don't kill me! Dx I love you guys. :(
Anyhow, enjoy this 4 page first part of the final chapter (there are 8 pages so far)]
His heart. I can hear his heart beat. Sapphire smiled and closed her eyes, letting her body flow with the music.
"Kaoru?"
"Hmm?"
"Promise me something." Kaoru opened his eyes and looked down at her. Sapphire looked back up at him.
"Anything." Sapphire smiled a little like she was laughing at him. "What?" He demanded.
"Don't say that so easily. There are some things you wouldn't do, not even for someone you love." Her smile disappeared and she became serious again. "Promise me that no matter what happens, you won't get stuck in the past." Kaoru frowned.
"What do you mean? What a strange promise." Sapphy threw him a death glare. He flinched and sighed. "I promise that not matter what happens, I won't get stuck in the past. Better?" She nodded and they carried on dancing. The song ended and they let go of each other.
"I'd better let you dance with your guests. Have fun." Sapphy winked at him and disappeared into the crowd. Kaoru looked for a sign of her before he was bombarded with girls wanting to dance.
Sapphire found Haruhi as close to the table of food as she could get without getting in other peoples way. She noticed some girls staring at Haruhi from afar, obviously debating whether to ask Haruhi to dance with them. Sapphy walked up to Haruhi and stood next to her.
"You're not dancing." Haruhi shook her head. "Tell you what, go up to that girl there," She pointed in the direction of the giggling girls. "and ask her to dance." Haruhi sighed.
"Okay. She's never going to ask me otherwise, is she?" Sapphire laughed.
"You already noticed them?" Haruhi smiled.
"Yeah. I was wondering if they would pluck up the courage or not." She walked towards the girls and held out her hand. One the girl's took Haruhi's hand just as the next song came on. Sapphire's eyes scanned the crowd. She had assumed that the hosts would be the only boys there, but there were plenty of them. And most of them had come up to her some point that night asking for a dance. Sapphire had accepted them all. As soon as she had a break, she went to the drinks table. Kyouya was stood there writing on his clipboard, occasionally looking up to the dancers.
"Why don't you join them?" Kyouya glanced at me then shook his head.
"It wouldn't be advantageous. I won't dance unless someone asks me to." He said. Sapphire rolled her eyes.
"You might find your special one." She retorted. It was hard to tell, but she could have sworn that Kyouya blushed.
"With how much time I spend hosting, you'd think that if there was someone for me in this school, I would have met them by now." Sapphire sighed.
"Kyouya, dancing is a way to find the right one. If the person fits in your arms, like they were made to fit there and if you are comfortable dancing with them, then they are the one." She paused as if she was thinking then spoke again. "My mum explained it much better. Anyway! Get gone! Find the girl of your dreams!" She pushed Kyouya into the dancing crowd and stood watching him for a few minutes, before she was asked to dance again.
Kaoru watched Sapphy dancing with other boys over and over again. She was smiling. He was occasionally brought back to himself when the girl he was dancing with spoke to him. He hadn't expected so many of Sapphire's admirers to come. The music ended and Tamaki went to the stage and spoke into the microphone.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Sapphy to open her presents. If you would like to hand them to her personally, then you will have to wait until she has opened the presents waiting for her on the table in the far right of the room." Sapphire looked towards the pile of presents and smiled. Well, she thought, at least they're small and there aren't that many of them. She made her way towards the presents and picked up the one at the top of the pile. She opened them one after the other. Most of them were small things, like expensive, ornamental pens and bracelets. There were a few pieces of clothing. Someone had even bought her the female and male Ouran uniform. Not many people gave her their presents personally. When she had thought she had finished, the members of the Host Club came up to her. Haruhi was first to hand her the present. She had bought Sapphire a notebook with patterns on the front.
"For your poems and songs." She said. Tamaki was next. He had bought her a ring that had real sapphires and emeralds in. Kyouya had bought her a small laptop. Mori gave her a dress, while Honey gave her a teddy to match the dress. Hikaru bought her a watch. Kaoru was last. She opened his present and saw a golden necklace. It had a little daisy made from jewels for the pendant. She smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. She turned to the other Hosts and kissed them on the cheeks so as not to get rabid Kaoru fan girls coming after her for the rest of the night. She turned to the girls and boys and smiled widely at them
"Thank you everyone who got me presents. I'd like to show you something in appreciation. A little trick I learned." Sapphire ran up to the orchestra (who had been there the entire time playing the music) and quickly spoke with one of the flute players. The flutist handed her his flute and she nodded her head in thanks. She ran back to the dance floor and started playing. As she did so, water droplets began to form together in front of her and a small spark of fire grew bigger in midair. The fire and the water danced with each other to the melody that was coming from the flute. The song went on for about two minutes before coming to a bittersweet end. When she had finished, the fire and water flowed into each other before disappearing. Everyone clapped, wondering how she did it. Sapphy handed the flute back to the flutist she had borrowed it from and the orchestra started playing again. She looked at the clock. 5 minutes to 11. There was little over an hour left. She drifted over to the food table. Looking around, she absent-mindedly nibbled on a breadstick. Haruhi came running up to her, a little out of breath.
"Sapphy! Do you remember Renge?" Sapphire thought back to the insane otaku that had appeared once in the very first month she had been there. Self-proclaimed manager of the Host Club, she scared Sapphire a little. She nodded.
"Vaguely. Why?" Haruhi looked around worriedly.
"She and Nekozawa are looking for you." She muttered. "Prepare yourself." Sapphy looked confused.
"Who's Nekozawa?"
"SAPPHY!" Sapphire turned around to see the crazy otaku running towards her, dragging a dark object behind her.
"Good luck." Haruhi muttered in Sapphy's ear, before escaping herself. Sapphy was about to shout after her when Renge caught up with her.
"How did you do that? Two elements that shouldn't even touch and you made them dance! I never knew you could play the flute! Can you teach me how you did that trick?" Sapphire ignored Renge's ramblings and looked behind her at the dark object. A puppet appeared out of one of the folds. She waved weakly at the puppet and the puppet waved back. Sapphire interrupted Renge.
"Renge, would you introduce the person you just dragged to me?" Renge looked behind her in surprise as if she had only just realised that there was someone behind her.
"Oh this? This is Nekozawa." The boy in the black cloak looked reproachfully up at Renge.
"This is Belzeneff, the cursed puppet doll. Do you want one?" Nekozawa said in a creepy voice. Sapphy looked at him and shook her head. He freaked her out.
"No thanks. He's cute, but I don't do cursed." Sapphy smiled at him, doing her best not to shudder. Renge looked at them and then opened her mouth like she was about to say something. Thankfully, Tamaki got onto the stage then and started speaking.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! It is now 11 'o' clock. There is one more hour until the official end of this party, but you can start making your way home now, if you wish. I would like to say thank you for coming and now I will welcome Sapphire onto the stage." Tamaki clapped, inviting everyone else to do so, while he backed off the stage. Sapphire frowned. She had not been told of this. She sighed as Renge pushed her onto the stage and she cleared her throat.
"Well, I guess I should say, thank you all for coming. I've had fun tonight and I was a little surprised. I haven't had a party since I was 8 and I had forgotten what it was like." She saw Hikaru running through the crowd trying to get to his brother. "I'd also like to say thanks to Honey, Mori, Kyouya, Tamaki, Hikaru, Kaoru and Haruhi, for making my stay at Ouran the best ever." Hikaru paused and looked at her. He could guess what was coming next and knew that Kaoru would soon hear what Sapphire had whispered to him in the car. "I guess I should tell you now. Today was my last day at Ouran Academy. The Host Club made my stay here unforgettable and I want to say that I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before. I didn't want to ruin the happiness before the clock struck 12. Before the carriage turned into a pumpkin." She smiled sadly at Kaoru as she said this and Kaoru looked back, shocked that she had used his analogy. He hadn't even told her about it. "If you're staying, I hope you have fun and if not, I hope your night has been enjoyable. Goodbye." She bowed and left the stage. Kaoru ran towards her.
"Sapphy? Sapphy, wait!" Sapphire stopped and turned around. She motioned for him to follow her. She turned back around and carried on walking. Kaoru paused, bemused, but ran after her, trying to keep up. They eventually ended up outside. It was a clear night with only a few clouds. She sighed and closed her eyes.
"Aaah. I'm gonna miss all of this." She opened her eyes and looked back at the school. Sapphire looked towards Kaoru and smiled. "I remember the first time I properly met you and Hikaru. I walked into the classroom, thinking I was about to be ambushed by that Benio person and instead I was ambushed by two ginger twins. At first I thought there was something wrong with my eyes, until I realised that you were brothers."
"How did you know? About the pumpkin carriage." Kaoru asked.
"You were thinking about it when I went into your mind to do magic." She smiled again and took his hand leading him further away from the building. "So, what are you going to do now?" She asked as they finally stopped. Kaoru rubbed the back of his head.
"I don't know." He sighed. "I'm gonna miss you. Why the hell didn't you tell me before?"
"Like I said inside, I didn't want to ruin the moment. The moment of magic." Someone chuckled behind a bush. They both turned to the place where the sound had come from. Shouhei stepped out into the moonlight.
"Aaaw, so cute. I believe you said something similar to me once." Shouhei said. Sapphire clenched her fists.
"What do you want, Shouhei?" She growled. He laughed.
"Chill little bean. I'm only here to say happy birthday." He sauntered forward and cupped her cheek in a very Tamaki like manner, making Sapphire look at his face. She flinched a little at his touch.
"Get off her, you bastard." Kaoru raised his hand and tried to remember the words that would make Shouhei let go. Shouhei beat him to it and made it so Kaoru couldn't move.
"Shut it." Shouhei growled, without looking up from Sapphy's eyes. She was trembling now. His green eyes were looking straight at her blue eyes. She tried pulling away, but he wouldn't let her. Sapphy closed her eyes and Shouhei gave a satisfied grunt. He dropped her and she collapsed on the floor, still shaking. Shouhei walked away. "That fear and hesitation of yours is gonna get you killed some day little bean." He disappeared and Kaoru found he could move again. He ran over to where Sapphy was lying and knelt next to her.
"Are you okay?" Sapphire nodded, but kept her eyes closed.
"His eyes are too green." She answered. Kaoru thought for a while and spoke again.
"Why did he call you little bean?" She opened her eyes and sat up. He was surprised to see a tear roll down her cheek. She hesitated before answering.
"Me and Shouhei... we have a little history." She paused before continuing. "I met him last year. I had a stupid crush and the idiot before he got, let's say seduced, by the bastards who are trying to get me. Before he went with them, his eyes were brown. The magic he uses eventually made his eyes green. Little bean was the nickname he called me before I knew about magic. He used his own magic to get to me. He tried to make me kill some friends of mine..." She trailed off. "I hate green eyes. I hate them, I hate them." Kaoru held her while she cried.
[I'm sorry. I wrote the Nekozawa and Renge part half asleep and I sorta rushed it. Please forgive me Dx.

Melikecake: Yeah, I want that dress too. I don't know if they sell it anymore Dx. So sad. NUUUU Don't take over reviews Renge! I put you in now! Please don't kill me! Oh and, Kyouya would. In one of my other stories, he gets all pervy minded! }:D *insert evil laugh here* Actually, I don't make pervy minded. I just wanted to say something stupid. Well, here's part of the next chapter ^.^' CYBER CUPCAKES!
Stuckinadream: You should be happy for her! She's cool. Even if she is a Mary Sue. :/ You dance with Mori Bear. I'll dance with Kaoru, then I'll kill Sapphy and then Kaoru can be mine! Yes? I told you that you didn't want to know what she whispered in Hikaru's ear. If I don't make it clear why she's tired, then it's because she's not been getting much sleep due to sorting things out for the BIG MOVE! If you didn't guess what her fear is from the last chapter, it's green eyes. I was gonna go for black, for Nekozawa, but I didn't get enough votes on one thing so I decided green eyes. I was gonna do black, but I had the idea of Shouhei, It didn't work as well as I planned it would, but oh well. I love you too and your stories.
Dreamaker401: As I explained in Stuckinadreams review reply. That's why her fear is green eyes... Okay, you win at walking backwards. Last time I tried, I managed to kill a few brain cells with a lamp post. That was yesterday... :) I bet it's funny
Julia: Why thank you.
Niikkii95: I wish I had that dress. I'm sorry that I didn't update soon. Pleas read the top authors note for the shitty reasons why I didn't :(
There you have it. Part 1 up and completed. If not up to standard.]
