I have made a floor plan of Kurogane house, if you want see it pm me or put a request in a review and I'll post a link on my profile.

The Yellow Rose

"Kurogane-sama" Jasmine looked up. "There is a call for you" The butler handed over the phone.

"Thank you" Jasmine put the receiver to her ear. "Hello?"

She froze slightly. "Yes sir." A book slipped from her lap to the ground. "Thank you for informing me, will I be allowed to visit?" her shoulders dropped slightly. "No, that's fine, it is your right as her family." Jasmine leaned down to pick up the book, placing it on the table next to the arm chair in the western sitting room. "Goodbye Bunya-san". Jasmine stood up and took the receiver to the butler in the hall way before returning to the sitting room. She looked out the window and stared down at her mother pruning the rose bushes in the greenhouse, the early morning light made her mother's pale skin almost ghostly.

Pulling her phone out of her pocket she scrolled through her contacts. Finding Shigeru she pressed call. Putting the phone on speaker she placed it on the window sill and continued to watch her mother.

"Hello? Muraoko here."

"Hey, it's Kurogane-san, um have you heard from Yumi-san?"

"No, why?"

"Her father just called."

"What why?"

"Yumi's in hospital, apparently she regressed." A clatter came from the other side. Then rustling and a thump. "Muraoko-san?"

Scratching and a reply. "Thank you for calling. Yumi-kun's father won't call me."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, um see you around I guess."

"Yeah, see you." A click and the phone started beeping. Jasmine reached down and clicked the button to hang up. About to put the phone away she was surprised to hear it ring.

"Hello? Kurogane here" having not turned of speaker Jasmine didn't have to do more then pick up the call.

"Kurogane-san" Kyoya's voice made her face go slack. "I just have two quick things to discuss this morning. I wanted to know if you were okay if we announced our engagement to the other hosts tomorrow as it will effect business in the club."

Jasmine nodded and then hastily replied "Yes, that's fine. Do you want me there?"

A sigh "Yes actually, that might make things simpler. Come to the club room about five minutes after class finishes, you can stay for the club if you like and I'll drop you off at your house after."

"Okay, I'll tell my mother she doesn't have to pick me up today. The other thing?"

"Were you aware that one Bunya Yumi was admitted to hospital last night?" Jasmine blinked.

"Yes, I just received a call from her father informing me."

"Ah, well her condition is serious but hopeful. Her doctor's expect her to make a full recovery by the end of the week, they stopped the bleeding into her lungs and her medication is being reassessed." Jasmine's shoulders dropped slightly and she let her self slide to the floor. Grabbing her phone on the way down.

"Thank you Ootori-san."

"Well, then I will see you in class Kurogane-san."

"You can call me Jasmine." The words came without much thought. The relief still making her head spin.

"Then call me Kyoya, it is only fair. Well, until school Jasmine-san"

"Until then Kyoya-san."

The phone once more started beeping. Touching the screen to stop the noise Jasmine let her dress poof up around her thighs as she lay on the floor. Staring at the plain white celling.

"Jas, what are you doing on the floor?" The deep male voice made Jasmine sit up suddenly.

"Taisuke!" Jasmine turned to stare at the tall boy. Icy blue eyes smiled at her behind long black bangs.

"Hey little Sister" Stepping into the room the young man opened his arms.

"Your home!" Jasmine scrambled to stand and leaped at her older brother.

"And driving you to school from now on, I got work teaching the elementary English classes at Ouran"

"Really?"

"Yeah, but I need to be their early so were leaving in fifteen, you had breakfast yet?" Jasmine looked to the side and shook her head.

"I'm not really hungry" Taisuke frowned. "I asked them to pack some extra food so I could eat before class."

"Were going down to eat now, you need more than a snack Jasmine" tacking her hand gently Taisuke pulled jasmine out of the room and down the servants stairs and into the kitchen. "Obasan, can you make Jasmine some real food for breakfast today?" Taisuke called to the main cook who nodded at him and smiled.

"Of course Kurogane-sama, I made something for the young lady just earlier in case she decided to eat this morning after all." The woman waved to a covered tray on the main bench.

"Thanks Obasan" Taisuke nodded to the woman and picked up the tray, letting go of Jasmines hand and walking to the door leading into the main dining room on the opposite end of the kitchen. Jasmine bowed to the head cook and hurried after her brother. Having to weave slightly around kitchen workers who had moved out of her taller brother's way.

"Niichan, wait up" Jasmine called to Taisuke as she caught the heavy door just before it swung shut.

Taisuke placed the tray down on one of the many places at the large formal dining table before sitting down next to it and looking pointedly at Jasmine. "Come sit and eat, we need to talk."

Jasmine nodded and sat, giving in. "Want some?" Jasmine pointed to the large pile of French toast on the main plate. Smiling Taisuke grabbed the maple syrup and pored it onto the stack of French toast, drenching the first piece before using Jasmines fork to spear the dripping slice. Jasmine laughed as her brother stuffed the fried bread into his mouth allowing his cheeks to puff out.

Jasmine stole back the fork and cut off one corner of the next slice, nibbling on the now overly sweet food she raised an eyebrow at her sibling.

Finishing chewing and swallowing the last of the mouthful Taisuke looked down at the table. "So, you're engaged again." Jasmine took one final bite and put her fork back on her plate before nodding. "His older this time hey?" Jasmine shook her head, swallowed and looked at him.

"No, father agreed on the youngest boy, his a second year like me." Taisuke looked slightly surprised.

"But didn't he wanted the engagement to be with the next company head?" Jasmine nodded and cut of another piece of toast.

"Yes, but Kyoya-san suggested that it be him instead, his sister agreed and Ootori-sama said it was a better idea. The weeding could be delayed longer if were the same age." Taisuke looked thoughtful.

"Have you moved classes again?" Jasmine nodded. "And is he nice?" another nod, "Intelligent? Hygienic?" two more nods and a smile. "Handsome?" A nod then a blush.

"Niichan!" Jasmine let her hands drop to the table. Taisuke chuckled and patted the top of Jasmines head.

"I'll go fetch our stuff, you finish eating and I'll meet you in the foyer in ten, yeah?" Jasmine looked back at her food and speared another piece of French toast, holding it out as a peace offering.

"Yeah" Taisuke munched on the food for a moment before standing up and kissing Jasmines forehead.

"See you soon." Jasmine turned to her plate and set about eating the rest of the piece she had started. Cutting the bread into small pieces and eating the first two before taking a drink of the orange juice a kitchen worker had dropped off as Taisuke left.

Sitting in class was interesting for Jasmine. Tamaki kept glancing at her and Kyoya just starred at the teachers. When Tamaki left for his French class and Jasmine and Kyoya left for English Tamaki kept looking over his shoulder at the two of them. Not stopping until he turned a corner and could no longer see the pair.

"Sorry about him. He guessed last night." Kyoya muttered to Jasmine as they walked. Both slightly ahead of their classmates going in the same direction.

"It's okay, the invitation would have clued him in."

"Yeah" Kyoya sighed. "Are you staying for the club?"

"Yes, my brother fetch me when he finishes work. He stared teaching the elementary English class." Kyoya nodded and the two walked into their classroom. Jasmine stopped and stared at the front of the class.

"Alright, settle down. My name is Kurogane Taikuse and I will be your new English teacher." He turned to smile at Jasmine.

"Jas, while I love you, in this classroom you are my student, please take a seat." Jasmine let her mouth close and walked to the empty seat next to Kyoya.

"You said he taught elementary" Kyoya muttered.

Jasmine just glared at the boy.

"Ootori-san, will you please stay after class, I wish to discuss something with you" Taisuke called loudly, eyes glinting. "Now, from this point forward all questions must be asked in English, if you're in this class you should have a good grasp at this point." Jasmine pulled out her books and settled in for class. Attempting to ignore the identity of her teacher.

Jasmine packed away her books slowly, attempting to delay her exit, however Kyoya was being just as tardy.

"Jas, I won't eat him" Taisuke chuckled as he watched the two teens. "Go have lunch, I know you didn't eat much for breakfast." Jasmine glared slightly at Taisuke before shoving the last of her things into her bag and storming out the door.

"Kurogane-sensei, you wanted to speak with me?" Kyoya had finished putting the last of his books away as Jasmine left.

"Yeah, first you have the second highest score in this class, despite being one of only seven students who don't speak English at home." Taisuke raised one eyebrow. When Kyoya frowned.

"Second highest?" Kyoya voice was flat.

"Yeah, Jas has a higher score, but only by correcting the teachers spelling mistakes in the last exam she is one point ahead of you at the moment. Though this is only in English." Taisuke smiled. "She was top of her English classes in Ireland through middle school as well."

Kyoya looked slightly relived. "Was there something wrong with that?"

"No, just wondering if your motivations are sound and you aren't getting too stressed out trying to keep up in all your subjects."

"My mental health is fine Kurogane-sensei, and none of your concern" The frown was back.

"So long as you are involved with my sister it is." Taisuke was no longer smiling. "No secondly, on a more private note. I have been made aware you suggested that you replace your brother in the arrangement between our families." Kyoya nodded. "First, thank you. The fact that my little sister has more time to grow up is a relief, secondly if you hurt her you will not enjoy the results." Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "And I am not just talking physically. I am not bound by the agreement made between our families and if you hurt her I will not support further deals." Kyoya looked pale.

"Of course Kurogane-sempai, I will do my best not to hurt Jasmine-san" Kyoya winced slightly when Taikuse frowned.

"Jasmine-san?" The question was less hostile then Kyoya expected.

"She asked that I address her as Jasmine this morning."

"When did you talk this morning?" Taisuke's voice was becoming more hostile.

"When I called to tell her that her friend who was admitted to t one of the Ootori hospitals was going to make a full recovery?"

"How did you know that?" Taisuke looked less hostile and more suspicious.

"Her friend is also a guest at my club, I was checking one her as in the past we have sent gifts to help her recover, we do it for most customers that are admitted to one any medical facility."

Taisuke raised his eyebrow at this but waved Kyoya away. "Go eat lunch, keep up the good work and relax once in a while. You seem to be doing far too much work to be healthy"

Kyoya nodded and walked out of the classroom heading for the lunch hall and Tamaki's incessant questions. The idiot hadn't listened the night before and Kyoya had spent an hour that morning dealing with his ridiculous theories.
