Author's Note:

May: Yehey! The exams are finally over!

Haruhi: How was it?

May: Got only one problem wrong so that's five points off from perfect. I'm not sure with the rest but I'm pretty sure I'll...

Naru: ...fail.

May: ...pass. What did you just say Naru? -starts getting pissed off-

Naru: I said nothing.

May: Of course you said something! -points at him accusingly- If you say you said nothing, you said something already!

Naru: Must be the aftermath of the exams... - shrugs shoulders-

Chapter 9

"Well, princess, have you anymore questions?" a male voice asked somewhat flirtatiously.

"Oh, Osamu-kun," the girl in question replied. But before she could speak once more, she was interrupted by another designator.

"What's it like to school in a commoner school? In my opinion, you less eerie than Haruhi-kun," the straightforward designator said.

Yasuhara sighed and thought, 'That's obviously because she's a girl.'

He took a deep breath and replied to the straightforward designator, "It is nothing different to this school except the wealth of the students and their prestige. None of them are heirs at all, to big companies that is."

One of the designators gave a slight giggle while the rest showered him with applause and compliments.

On the other side of the room...

"Really, Tamaki-kun?" a female designator asked.

"Yes, I have accepted a new member to the Host Club," Tamaki replied casually.

"Will you be doing the same in the future too? My brother's extremely very keen on joining this club but he received no reply to any of his applications."

"I have to ask Kyouya about that matter. It seems the new member's doing quite well," Tamaki said, looking in the direction where Yasuhara was stationed.

The designator looked around and felt a gust of wind hit her full force in the face. Her eyes opened in shock and later on, she felt a heavy force push her eyelid down and the last thing she felt was the soft, velvet cushion collide with her neck.

Tamaki turned back and saw his designator go unconscious. He shook her so roughly that Yasuhara and the twins thought he was doing something improper.

"Eh, Milord, you can't do anything like that to designators," Hikaru said as he clicked his tongue and Kaoru pull out a book out of thin air and opened it to a certain page and pushed it in front of the blonde French king's face.

As they were making a little scene, not that Kyouya, Naru, Lin, Haruhi nor Mai cared, the unconscious designator regained consciousness but this time her eyes were no longer in focus.

She gave a small yawn and as if mind-reading the hosts that were surrounding her, said, "I must've suddenly fell asleep. I stayed late reading one of Renges doujinshi's."

"Don't frighten us like that, hime!" Tamaki exclaimed.

The designator ignored him and said, "Please, do follow me. I have something to show you."

She stood up and ran away from the room. Out of curiosity, Tamaki, Yasuhara and the twins followed her.

They followed her down the stairs but when they stepped on the last step, they felt as if they fell into emptiness. All they could remember was themselves chasing the designator down the stairs when they saw a small black opening forming right at the end of the stairs. Ignoring it, the continued down and then felt all energy escaping them as they fell ro floated in nothingness, emptiness.

"Ne, Naru-chan, have you seen Yasuhara-san, Hitachiin-sama's and Suoh-sama?" Mai asked him in a cheerful manner.

Naru seemed to have ignored her and told Lin, "Lin, has the camera caught anything?"

Lin turned to face in Naru's direction and replied, "Yes, unfortunately, it is too late for they have been warped into a ghost dimension."

"B-but, they'll die!" Mai stammered, balling her hands into fists.

"Taniyama-san, you are wrong, they won't die but if the spirit or whatever it is that's causing all this continues to drain their spiritual energy, they'd be nothing but dust," Lin said.

"I see. We must hurry and save them!" Mai said.

----

'Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki and that Yasuhara-san are in grave danger. Why do I know this and why do I even care?' Kyouya thought to himself, creating a battle of wills.

As he was pondering, Mai came in, causing some noise which sort of made him regain composure.

He didn't know why but he said, "Taniyama-san, Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki and Yasuhara-san are in danger!"

"Huh? How are you able to know that? We haven't told anyone..." Mai pondered, sort of confused.

"I don't even know. Just reassure me. Are they in trouble or not?" Kyouya demanded.

Mai, not able to resist his demands answered, "Yes, but it is too late. They are trapped in a spiritual dimension and the spirit is gradually sapping their spiritual energy."

There was a little silence until Mai finally spoke up.

"Ootori-sama, how are you able to know this?" Mai asked, more or less out of curiosity.

"I have told you, I don't know. It sort if just came to me when I was gazing at my laptop's screen."

"I highly suggest that you go and check it out with Naru, I mean Shibuya-san. No one's been able to perceive such things except me, but this time it was not me who received a dream about it. It was you."

"Thank you for your advice, Taniyama-san," Kyouya said gratefully, trying to fake a smile but resulted with a true genuine smile.

He was grateful that Mai wasn't able to see that smile or else his reputation would be forever and ever doomed.

----

"As expected, Ootori-sama, I have to say that you have some ESP and PK. A rare breed of a psychic," Naru announced.

Mai exclaimed a small 'Yes!' but hurriedly quieted down when both Naru and Kyouya glared at her.

"And what does being a 'psychic' do?" Kyouya asked.

"You are very well aware you are gifted. No one here has been able to foresee an event except Mai," Naru replied calmly.

"But it is rather unfortunate because your ESP and PK energy are not constant. There may be times when you won't be able to use your abilities," Lin added.
