"For the love of god this shouldn't be this hard." Rin growled glaring at the piece of paper she was holding.
"Rin if you need help with your math homework I told you id be glad to help you." Haruhi said
"And Takashi's really good at math to!"
"Yeah." Mori deadpanned
"No I don't have math homework today." Rin showed the piece of paper to them "It's this crossword puzzle my dad gave me, they don't give you hints for the last 3 words so you have to figure it out with the letters I've already filled in."
"Well what do you have so far?" Haruhi asked
"Well, one of them was loyalty, and I have 2 more." Rin scratched her head with her pencil "The second letter in one of them is e and the other one is 2 words."
"I know we can look in a dictionary!" Honey suggested
"I don't have one with me… though that is a good idea." Rin tapped her chin with her pencil "it's on the tip of my tongue though." Rin was oblivious to the fact a little blonde child had wandered into the clubroom.
"My my, what an unusually young guest." Tamaki said with amusement. "Welcome to host club my little lost kitten." He held his hand out for her. "Little kitty cat, why have you come to see us today?"
The little girl looked up at Tamaki with awe and wonder as a deep blush settled on her cheeks. Suddenly she pointed at Tamaki "It's a reverse Harem!"
Everyone in the host club turned pale except Rin who became quite exited "Yes! That's the word!" she penciled in the word reverse harem into her crossword. "Thank you…" her voice trailed away when she looked up and saw who gave her the answer to her crossword. The pencil and crossword slipped from her fingers and clattered to the ground as her mouth hung agape "…Small innocent child?"
"That can't be right I must of heard wrong." Tamaki beat the side of head "Maybe there's still water in my ear from when I went swimming."
"Ahahahaha! Water in the ear that's gotta be it!" Hikaru laughed nervously
"I'm sure we just heard her wrong! There's no way this cute little girl said the words reverse harem! Something's going on with our ears!" Kaoru followed nervously.
It's been awhile since we went swimming. Rin thought
"There's Debauchery here." She said once again innocently.
Everyone froze again in complete and udder shock.
"And there's the last word to my crossword puzzle…" Rin said in complete disbelief penciling in the last word.
"Yay! There's debauchery here isn't there!" she jumped up and down with excitement "You're the glasses character!" she pointed at Kyouya who's mouth was slightly agape. "You're the boy Lolita and the stoic type!" she pointed at honey whom coward back from her as if she would bite him and Mori who looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Twincest!" she pointed at the twins which just about made Rin hurl that she heard that word from a little girl "The Tortured artist!" she pointed at Rin "And the Bookworm!" she pointed at Haruhi lastly. As her gaze landed on Tamaki he shrunk back as if she would bite him, her eyes widened as if she just realized something. "Big brother?" she jumped into Tamaki's arms with glee "My brother is blonde so you must be him!"
"You never told us about this!" Kaoru shouted
"Since when do you have a little sister?!" Hikaru shouted.
"I don't I'm an only child at least as far as I know…" Tamaki said nervously as he held the kicking little girl in his arms.
"Now that I look at you two you do look really alike." Honey said "You are both blonde after all!"
"I want to know if glasses character is superior to big brother…" Kyouya puzzled
"Does it really matter? I can't believe she called me bookworm…" Haruhi mumbled
"At least you get fitting title! What the heck does tortured artist mean?" Rin crossed her arms.
"You uh? Wanna tell me your name little one?" Tamaki asked sheepishly
"Kirimi!" she smiled
"Kirimi?" Haruhi asked herself
Speaking of fish that sounds really good… I should cook that for dinner tonight… Rin thought to herself
"Kirimi-Chan I'm afraid you've made a mistake…" Tamaki said as gently as he could "I'm really sorry but…I don't have a younger sister…"
Kirimi's eyes started to water in a way that could break anyone's heart into a million pieces "are you sure? You're blonde just like me…"
Tamaki's words stuck in his throat painfully "Well that is true…" you could practically see his restraint breaking away. "I give in! From this day on I am your new big brother! Your so cute!" he picked up Kirimi and twirled her around.
"Oh boy…" Rin sighed rubbing her forehead.
"I know you get carried away by emotion but don't you think it's irresponsible to make such empty promises?" Haruhi piped into Tamaki's little twirl fest.
"Don't you listen to that mean Haruhi? I'm not irresponsible! Come home with me and I'll look after you!" Tamaki said to Kirimi talking sweetly.
"What do you think we should do Kyouya sempai?" Haruhi asked
"We should probably try to find out if she actually has a big brother at this school." Kyouya said grabbing his chin in thought.
"I can't think of anyone with blue eyes and blonde hair as radiant as that…" Rin said looking at Kirimi who was being protected by Tamaki as if we would snatch her away and sell her to the gypsies. Suddenly the lights went out causing a small yelp from Rin.
"KIRIMI…KIRIMI…" an eerie voice came from out of nowhere, suddenly the lights flicked on again and from the doorway a very handsome guy with blonde hair and blue eyes just like Karim's popped out.
"Hey uh… who the hell are you?" the twins asked
"Guys!" Rin scolded them "We are in the presence of a child watch your words!"
"He looks like a foreigner!" Honey shouted
"What's up with that? How come the door looks different all of the sudden?" Haruhi said with a bed of sweat falling down her forehead
"I wanna know where the torches came from." Rin noted studying the torches.
"Oh Kirimi!" The mysterious man sighed looking at the girl lovingly.
"Master…" yet another eerie voice
"You forgot your cloak…" another feminine yet eerie voice. The two people threw a black cloak over the handsome boy making him look more familiar.
"Nekozawa sempai?!"Rin, Tamaki, and the twins shouted together in shock.
"Master Umihito is terribly vulnerable to any kind of bright light." The woman dressed as a maid wiped away a dramatic tear rolling down her cheek "for that reason if he doesn't shroud himself in black he will fall victim to the brightness of the outside world he will undoubtedly collapse! And just to be comfortable he has to cover his beautiful blonde hair in a wig! OH! OHHHH!" she spun off into some bright light sighing in dramatic ways.
"And his sister Kirimi is frightened of dark dimly lit places." The Butler with the really cool scar on his face said.
"So this little girl is Nekozawa sempais younger sister?" Haruhi asked in almost disbelief.
"You are quite insightful, yes that would be correct sir…" the butler pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away a tear.
"Kirimi… so this is where you've been hiding." Nekozawa approached Kirimi in probably the creepiest way he could and let out a freaky maniacal laugh.
Kirimi's eyes immediately brimmed with tears. She leapt into Tamaki's arms in fear. "BROTHER SAVE ME FROM THE MONSTER!" she screeched
"Please don't be scared, I'd like to introduce you to someone, this is belzinef! The Nekozawa family has worshiped cats for generations!" he continued stalking towards her. Hell even the cat seemed to be rubbing his paws together menacingly.
"You know I get the feeling she's not scared of the puppet." Haruhi said "Call me crazy but I think she's scared of you." Rin nodded in agreement
"You look like a dementor from harry potter." Rin said
"It's probably your clothes we'll help you change kay?" The twins immediately started pulling on Nekozawa's clothes.
"NO! DON'T DO THAT! IT'S FAR TO BRIGHT I MAY DIE!" he shouted out in an agonized way.
"I know!" Honey shouted "Why don't we just darken the room?!" Honey shouted running to close the curtains. He froze when he heard Kirimi start to cry.
"Oh dear... someone's unhappy." Kyouya stated
"It's such a tragedy these two are such polar opposites. As a result they've come to be known as the Nekozawa's families Romeo and Juliet." The maid said looking down at the floor sadly. Rin's eye twitched annoyed
"Romeo and Juliet weren't brother and sister… I think their situation is a little different." Haruhi noted
"Yeah! Way different." Rin stated her voice strained. Romeo and Juliet was Rin's all-time FAVORITE book, she knew it from cover to cover and had at least several different copies of it proudly stacked on a shelf in her room. "Not only were they from two families with a history of feuding they were also madly and purely in love! And they also were so in love they committed suicide over it!"
"Oh I'm well aware of that! To be honest I just came up with it on the fly, pretty impressive huh?" she pulled out a small banner "I thought it might make the story more dramatic!"
"Dramatic in all the wrong ways…" Rin pinched the bridge of her nose ready to give one of her 30 day lectures on Romeo and Juliet but she resisted.
"We were sent by the masters to get out lovely mistress Kirimi back home safely." The butler bowed
"is the rest of the family as out of touch as you 3 are?" the twins asked carelessly earning a sharp look from the maid.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH A TERRIBLE THING! THE NEKOZAWAS ARE A DISINGUISHED FAMILY! THEIR DECENANTS OF THE TOKAREV DYNASY OF RUSSIA!" she shouted shoving Nekozawa at them as if to show them his amazingness.
"Tokarev huh?" Kyouya asked
"Correct me if I'm wrong but that's a kind of gun right?" Rin asked
"Wait…you mean Romanoff right?" Tamaki asked sheepishly.
The maid continued talking about how every 100 years a Nekozawa child is destined to be possessed by the darkness. "That legend may or may not be true."
"What you man may or may not be true?" Honey semapi asked
"Is it or isn't it?" the twins asked sounding almost bored.
Rin tuned out opening her book as they said a bunch of stuff that was unnecessarily said and she already knew. About how Nekozawa was of the darkness and such. But she about dropped her book when she heard 'so we started reading her shojo manga.'
"Shojo manga?" Haruhi echoed
"I'm sorry what now?" Rin slipped off her reading glasses and gazed at the maid in complete and utter shock "You read this sweet little girl shojo manga?" she said pointing at Kirimi with her glasses
"So what's where that whole debauchery thing came from." The twins said
"is there really debauchery in Shojo manga?" Haruhi asked Rin who crossed her arms
"Oh yes, and there's plenty of it." Rin scoffed
"But… sashimi Chan is so young." Haruhi noted
"Not sashimi!"
"It's Kirimi!" Nekozawa piped in with belzinef.
"So Kirimi doesn't know you're her real older brother Nekozawa sempai?" Haruhi asked. The doll made a sad face as Nekozawa crumpled to the floor with sad sobbing sounds.
"We've tried to talk to her but she refuses to believe us." The maid said sadly.
"Aww… that's so sad, no wonder Neko-chan is so upset." Honey whimpered rubbing tears out of his eyes.
"That's why every night I pray one day that Kirimi will learn to embrace the darkness." Nekozawa said leaning over his altar
"I think you've got it backwards buddy." The twins said.
"You should try embracing the light." Hikaru suggested
"Yeah what are you trying to do to your sister?" Kaoru asked
"Come along mistress Kirimi." The butler said
"It's time to go home." Said the mid
"WAAHHHHHHH!" Kirimi's cried embracing Tamaki's neck tightly "IM NOT GOING WITH YOU I DON'T WANNA GO HOME I WANNA STAY WITH MY BIG BROTHER!"
A single sob came from Nekozawa as his puppet witnessed everything going on.
"Nekozawa sempai…" Tamaki sensed Nekozawa's distress.
"Don't worry about me suo…" he muttered gravely "all I want is for my sister to be happy." With every passing word his hold on his tears withered away. Rin watched him her own blue eyes getting teary just from watching him. "Make sure…she gets the love she deserves!" Nekozawa cried bolting out of the host club in tears.
"Nekozawa! Wait!" Rin ran out of the host club after Nekozawa.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"Nekozawa! Please come out of there." Rin eventually followed Nekozawa into the schools garden where he seeked the shady refuge of a bush. He refused to budge or even speak to Rin
"Please, just leave me here to suffer." He choked out sounding almost on the verge of death.
"Nekozawa please... Just come out of there so I can talk to you." Rin pleaded both hands clasped together over her chest. "
"..."
"...I know what it's like... To be rejected so harshly by a sibling you love..." Rin said quietly. Nekozawa looked over his shoulder slightly observing Rin with curious eyes.
She sat down on the grass cross legged staring at her shoes "I have an older sister named Iku... When I was 7 my mom walked out on us... Ever since then Iku and I had been really close..." She looked up at Nekozawa to see he had fully turned around to listen "she really looked after me y'know? She was everything a big sister should be and more." Rin smiled sadly
"What...happened between you two?" Nekozawa asked carefully
"Well, she's going to be married soon and I was going to be her maid of honor..." Rin's hands balled into fists in the grass "But she and my mother in law Yone kicked me out of the wedding, I'm not even invited anymore." Rin gritted her teeth fighting back tears "Yone said the most awful things to me and Iku just stood there and said nothing, she didn't even look at me. They said I would be an embarrassment to the wedding if I showed up."
"That's awful..."
"Yeah..." She said sadly, but quickly shook the sad look off her face at stood up "So that's why you can't give up on your little sister! It's wrong to chicken out and let Tamaki do it! How would she feel if she found out you were her brother and you just gave up what would she think?! She loves you so much you can't just run away!" Nekozawa's eyes watered with realization "you can't just give up when you haven't even tried standing in the light!"
"That's easy for you to say! You can stand in the light with no problem at all! "He argued gesturing to her
"We'll practice! I'll help you! And I know that the host club will help you to! We can figure it out together." Rin held her hand out to Nekozawa "So what do you say? Do you want to be able to be a big brother for Kirimi?"
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
"Your golden locks glow in the candle light, your skin like ivory…" Rin blushed slightly as Nekozawa said these words it was like watching a fairy tale unwinding in front of her. You see in order to help Nekozawa learn how to talk to Kirimi they decided dressing Rin up as Kirimi and putting her in a blonde wig was the best way seeing she was the only one with blue eyes... and the only one who could fit into the extra-large elementary school uniform "your smile mysterious like a flower Illuminated by the moonlight such beauty, it's as if…" Nekozawa took a long pause before screeching "YOU'RE A CURSED WAX DOLL SHROUDED IN DARKNESS AND RIDDLED IN MELEVOLANCE!"
"GAHHH!" Rin cowered in fear as Nekozawa loomed over her. Whelp there goes the whole blush factor.
"NO WAY YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG NUMSKULL!" Renge scolded him hitting him with a newspaper like a misbehavent dog as her hair turned into snakes. "WHO TOLD YOU TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?! YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY OCCULT TERMS!"
"I'm really sorry, but my vocabulary is a bit limited without those words!" Nekozawa whimpered under Renge's harsh aura, and no one would blame him, Rin has seen many things in her life that were pretty scary but very few of those things were scarier than Renge's wrath, and she saw a duck kill a squirrel once.
"YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK BACK TO ME EITHER! GOT IT?! A PRINCELY CHARACTER WOULD NEVER COME UP WITH A SISSY EXCUSE LIKE THAT!" Renge held up a random picture she pulled out of nowhere. "Remember! It's okay to have a dark side sometimes some girls like that. Cute brooding male characters always go over well with young girls, however referencing anything related to the occult is out of the question." She pointed at Mori who served as 'the guy who writes things on the chalkboard' job "Mori-Sempai go ahead and add that to the board!"
"Wax…doll…" he said as he wrote it down on the board.
"Looks like Renge's really on top of things." Kyouya said sounding pleased
"Yeah she's on a roll!" Honey cheered
"Yeah…" Hikaru started "But I'm not sure the lines she's feeding him are appropriate to use on his sister."
"You just going to sit and watch boss?" Kaoru asked turning his head to Tamaki
"Of course… I don't want to end up with a curse on me." He said almost fearfully.
"Okay! It seems you've memorized most of your new character lines, I think it's about time we moved on! Are you ready Sempai?" she asked almost to cheerfully
"Oh please no…" Nekozawa begged clearly afraid from his profuse sweating. "It's too soon! I can't handle it yet!"
"EEEVVILLL FADE!" she let out those words with a huge battle cry shining a flashlight in Nekozawa's face causing him to back away in what looked like pain, but the freakiest part was that his shadow was a freaking cat. "COME ON DON'T LET A SIMPLE FLASHLIGHT GET THE BEST OF YOU! WORK UP YOUR NERVE! IT'S NOT PHYSICALLY AFFECTING YOU SO THAT MEAS IT MUST BE PHYCOLOGICAL! Even EDGAR WAS ABLE TO FACE THE CROSS ONCE HE BULT UP HIS COURAGE."
"But I thought you rejected the occult…" Nekozawa argued
"Occult fiction is good. Occult fashion is not." Renge sassed
"She's right." Rin smiled "I find occult fiction quite enjoyable."
"Oh is-"
"Oh don't judge him." Kaoru sighed
"You're the one who's always wearing weird cosplay." Hikaru accused
"You gotta put your heart into the delivery." Renge poked Nekozawa in the face "you have to imagine that Rin is actually Kirimi-chan."
"Easy for you to say."
"That's easy for you to say" Nekozawa looked over at Rin who was adorned in a blonde wig and fitted version of Kirimi's uniform. "She doesn't look anything like Kirimi."
"I agree." Rin spoke up, not wanting to be under the demonic gaze of Nekozawa EVER again.
"WOULD YOU QUIT COMPLAINING?!" Renge scooped Rin into her arms and carried her off into her whimsical little escapade. "You have to look at her through the eyes of your heart…" she sighed dreamily then suddenly shoving Rin at Nekozawa as if it would prove a point "THE EYES OF YOUR HEART!"
"That's Right! Remember why you're doing this!" Tamaki said encouragingly. "It's all for Kirimi-Chan's sake! Just give it a shot! It'll look like her if you use your imagination!"
Nekozawa gave an unsure look towards Rin who looked up at him with reassuring eyes, she gave him a double thumbs up and a weak smile, feeling unsure about Renge's process.
From out of freaking nowhere the twins pulled out a mannequin with a wig very alike to Haruhi's hairstyle and wearing the pink swimsuit the twins tried to get her to wear to the beach, the rufflely one "Here you go boss!" the twins shouted catching Tamaki's attention.
"We got this one ready just for you!" Hikaru said smugly
"We think you should confess your love to this Haruhi doll!" Kaoru said enthusiastically
"Wait…this doll?" Tamaki suddenly had a look on his face like he wasn't breathing "Is…Haruhi?"
"You should teach him by example." The Twins pointed.
"For the love of god this is so nasty" Rin complained sticking her tongue out of her mouth in disgust.
Tamaki suddenly had a strained look on his face and sweat dripping down his forehead. "Haruhi…I…" he started nervously.
"What is going on?" Rin asked herself quietly a bit frightened by what was going on in front of her.
"Excuse me." Haruhi appeared in the doorway sounding completely unamused.
"Ha-Haruhi! You're the real one!" Tamaki stammered looking like a deer in the headlights.
"Kirimi-Chan came to the clubroom again today looking for you." Her face suddenly looked like she was sick "If you've got time to do disgusting things like this surely you can spare some time to hang out with her for a while." She growled her eyes burning with disgust clearly displeased with the activities that were going on in this room.
"Oh! Disgusting?" Tamaki suddenly turned grey and went to his little spotlight corner of woe.
The twins started cracking up so hard there were tears falling from their eyes.
"Why don't you keep her company Haruhi? What's wrong don't like children?" Kyouya suggested almost teasingly.
"Well no… it's not that I don't like them or anything…" Haruhi shrugged "she's made me read about 50 volumes of Shojo manga to her over the last 3 days." Rin grew a disturbed look on her face as she watched Tamaki Scoot towards the little powwow in a very disturbingly peculiar fashion "And to my surprise those things really are full of reverse harems and debauchery."
"Told ya'" Rin said simply
"Big Brother?" a sweet meek voice called out from the doorway. Kirimi stood there peeking into the dark room. She looked around and immediately started whimpering "This room is dark and scary…" she started sobbing.
"Oh Kirimi-Chan!" Haruhi said with sympathy in her voice "I asked you to wait for me in the other room…"
"What's wrong little one?" Tamaki pranced over to Kirimi "There, there, Calm down." Tamaki held her up in the air bringing her into the light "See? There's nothing to be afraid of." Kirimi's frown turned into a grin. Tamaki spun her around in his arms. "Here we go!" he said as she laughed in pure joy.
"Sempai?" Renge called out to Nekozawa who seemed to be in some discomfort.
"I am a handsome princely big brother, I am a handsome princely big brother, I am a handsome princely big brother, I am a handsome princely big brother." He chanted to himself "AND I AM NOT AFRAID OF THIS FLASHLIGHT! SELF EVIL BEING!" he shined the flashlight in his face.
"He did it!" Honey said in awe as Mori clapped.
"Nekozawa sempai has come a long way." Renge said dreamily "he's able to shine a flashlight in his own face!"
"Bravo sempai bravo…" he twins popped some poppers unenthusiastically
"It's actually a lot bigger accomplishment than it sounds…" Rin said clapping fro Nekozawa
"Good job I'm impressed!" clapped Haruhi
"You did it! Your little sister is going to be so thrilled!" Tamaki cheered "Look there Kirimi-Chan." Tamaki grabbed the small child's hand and pointed to Nekozawa. "That gentleman there is your real big brother!"
Kirimi gasped looking at Nekozawa in wonder.
"Kirimi." He said simply. Kirimi turned as pale as a ghost scared beyond comprehension.
"Oh no…" Rin whined burying her face in her hands. The flashlight is right under his face! Rin used to do that to her friend Iris as a joke at sleepovers.
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!" Kirimi cried and bolted out of the room.
"KIRIMI! WAIT!" Nekozawa dropped the flashlight reaching out to his sister as she ran away.
"SO I guess shining the flashlight in his face-"
"Scared her and sent her running…"
"Oh Kirimi…" Nekozawa's voice was broken, ashamed by his actions. He fell in a bowing position and started crying.
"Nekozawa sempai?"
"Nekozawa please don't cry." Rin put a hand on his back awkwardly "it's not too late we can try something else." Rin tried to assured him but he shook his head
"No…I've had enough…" he shook his head mocking to sit on his knees "Even if I continue your special training… there's no guarantee that Kirimi will ever accept me…I think she'd be better off…" Nekozawa paused as if his next words would cause him great pain. "If you were her big brother in my stead Suo…"
"But that's ridiculous… you're the big brother she's looking for…" Tamaki said seriously. "If you love her you'll do what it takes to win her over."
"You can't just give up like that!" Rin shouted on the verge of tears "You're her big brother, big brothers don't just give up on their little siblings!" Rin had a fierce look in her eye "If you're really the big brother she thinks you are then you won't give up on her!" Nekozawa gaped at the two hosts, their words resonating in his mind.
The twins opened the blinds letting light shine into the room once more.
"Hey look." Hikaru started "Kirimi-Chan hasn't even made it out of the courtyard."
"But there's something down there with her…" Kaoru stated. "Oh it's just a cat." He shrugged
"Your family sure does love cats."
"Even strays warm up to you guys."
"What did you say?!" Nekozawa dashed to the window, his worry for his baby sister acting as a shield from the light. "Their revered by our family its true… but Kirimi wouldn't participate in something like that something as occult as befriending a stray cat!" Rin rose an eyebrow in confusion "Kirimi is afraid of animals, and cats are the animals she fears most of all!" he backed up a bit then jumped through the window shattering the glass. "KIRIMI!"
"For the love of god! There are stairs!" Rin yelled,
"Nekozawa sempai!" Tamaki shouted
"But he's not wearing his black cloak!" Haruhi shouted in worry.
Rin watched silently getting teary as Nekozawa ran to Kirimi 'saving' her from the ferocious feline. She jumped in his arms in complete in utter joy.
"Well would you look at that!" Honey said jovially
"This is all thanks to my special training!" Renge praised herself
(I wish me and Iku could be fixed like that...) she thought sadly pulling out a handkerchief and wiping her eyes
"Rin are you crying?" Haruhi asked
"Yes I am!" She sobbed out "it's so beautiful and touching and- wait what just happened?" Rin ceased her tears and looked down to see Nekozawa in a heap on the ground.
"He collapsed." Hikaru said
"I guess he really can't take the sunlight." Kaoru continued
"If I'm correct he did say he could die if exposed to sunlight." Kyouya noted adjusting his glasses
"Oh my god!" Rin shouted snatching Nekozawa's cloak and running for the window to jump out before stopping short "probably not the best idea..." She muttered to herself spinning on her heel and running for the door.

Rin stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus that would take her home to arrive. A bit put out that Nekozawa had gone back into the darkness. Not to mention Iku's wedding was this weekend and seeing another sibling pair at odds made her feel even worse. "I really thought I could help them..." Rin kicked a pebble by her foot. Rin thought in the back of her mind that maybe if Nekozawa and Kirimi's relationship could be fixed then so could her an Iku's I guess something's just can't be fixed..."
"Tortured artist!" A sweet innocent voice called out. (I recognize that voice) Rin thought looking up to see a limo parked in front of her.
"Kirimi?" Rin gasped in shock
"Hello Rin." Nekozawa who was clad in his usual dementor-like attire.
"Hi guys." Rin waved in disbelief "I see... You two are getting along."
"Yes, and it's thanks to you Rin." Nekozawa smiled
"Me?" She pointed to herself "what did I do?"
"You helped me become a big brother for Kirimi." He explained "I may not be exactly what she wanted but-"
"My big brother is a prince!" Kirimi interrupted "he'll protect me even if it means dashing out into the sunlight!" She cheered
"Well... I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that." Rin smiled
"Do you want a ride home?" He offered "it's the least we can do."
"That'd be great." Rin hopped in the limo finding it to be actually quite well lit. "Don't these lights hurt you?"
"My cloak and wig protect me from the harsh light" Nekozawa explained "the light is a bit emerging but I don't want to scare Kirimi."
"Ah I see." Rin nodded
"Read to me artsy!" Kirimi shoved shojo manga in Rin's arms
"Oh boy..." Rin sighed.
After giving Nekozawa a rather large list of books with princely characters in them to read to Kirimi as a substitute for Shojo manga. She arrived at the guest house.
"Would you like to join the Nekozawa family for dinner tonight?" Nekozawa offered "we would be honored to have you at our dinner table."
"I can't tonight." Rin shrugged "I have to help my dad pack for the move."
"Well in that case please take this." Nekozawa handed her a book "I noticed you enjoy reading, I thought you might like this." Rin took the book and looked at the black book "palmistry... What's that?"
"Palmistry is one of the oldest cult arts, it's reading the lines on a person's hand to tell their future." He said eerily
"Sounds interesting." Rin smiled "thank you Nekozawa for the ride, and the book." Rin hopped out of the limo and started towards her house.
"Rin." Nekozawa grabbed her sleeve "You can fix things with your sister." Rin stiffened her body turning her head only to look at Nekozawa with wide eyes "if Kirimi and I can restore our relationship so can you and Iku."
Rin went wide eyed a bit taken aback by his sudden words of wisdom, she looked at her shoes unsure of what to say. "I..."
"Just think about it okay?" He let go of her sleeve and retreated back into the limo "and if you want I can put a curse of your mother in law..."
"Whoa! Oh no no no no let's not curse people alright?" Sure Rin hated Yone but she didn't hate her enough to put a curse on her, that's just wrong.
"Bye artsy!" Kirimi waved as they sped off
Rin watched them go as Nekozawa's words echoed in her brain. (If me and Kirimi can restore our relationship so can you and Iku.)
"Well well well, lookie here." Santo stepped out of the house looking at his daughter "someone has a boyfriend."
"WHAT!?" Rin screeched
"I knew it! I knew eventually you would have feelings for someone in the host club!" Santo pumped a fist in the air "so who is he? And when do I get to meet him?"
"Dad he's not my boyfriend, his name is Nekozawa and I just helped him out the other day." Rin shrugged "he's not even in the host club."
"And by favor you mean-"
"DAD! WERE NOT ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED IN ANY WAY!" Rin yelled at the top of her lungs
"Oh really? Is he the one lending you all these books?" Santo asked raising his brows suggestively.
"No! He just gave me this one because of the favor, Mori is the one giving me the books." Rin explained
"Oh so who's Mori?"
"Oh my god dad no..." Rin sighed, she was going to have a long evening.
