Another chapter for you! I have way to much fun writing these for me to stop! I decided that I couldn't live without Satoshi -; He's just too fun! For those of you who don't know who Satoshi is he is the younger brother of Mori. He wasn't in the anime much to my chagrin but he is in the manga! He is in the same grade as Yasuchika and he keeps him in line. In the manga they are described as 'Dark Hunny' and 'Light Mori' . Also, I never really understood why reviews were so important and then I got some...wow do they give you an energy boost! So I want to thank Mysteriousity1 (again), Doieversleep (dude your name...it describes my life) and toxicswallow who actually reviewed chapter one but I was writing number two at the time so I didn't get to give him(her?) a shoutout. Anyways, Enjoy!

Eyrie walked briskly down the aisle, trying to find a suitable book to read during the lunch break.
You could have stayed you know. You could have had lunch with them. Instead you blew them off and ran away, a tiny voice in her head whispered. She shook her head violently and stopped to pull out a book.
Why didn't I stay with them? she thought to herself. They were nice enough.
"No I can't think that way." she said to herself. Suddenly realising she had spoken aloud she spun around, looking to see if anyone else was around her. No one. Suddenly her phone started going off. She fumbled to get it out of her pocket and press the answer button before anyone noticed.
"Hello?" She said quietly.
"Oh good! The vultures haven't eaten you alive yet!"
Eyrie rolled her eyes. "Briar you could have gotten me in trouble. You're lucky I wasn't in class."
"Why didn't you turn your phone on silent then?"
Eyrie went quiet. She heard Briar start laughing on the other line.
"You forgot didn't you?! Oh my god. I should have called you during class! That would've taught you!"
"Shut up Briar! I had a lot going on! Jeez you're such a freaking idiot!" she yelled, forgetting where she was. She heard the librarian's hasty footsteps and darted around a few pillars until she was safely tucked into the farthest corner of the library.
"Oh yea. Are you not with those arrogant rich kids anymore?"
Eyrie sighed. "No. Why?"
"Nothing. You seem less tense. Well that and you're actually talking. So did you get sick of their stuck up ways?"
Eyrie hesitated. "Well they were nice just..."
"Obnoxious, loud, show-offy, know-it-alls." Briar said matter-of-factly.
Eyrie sighed. "Yea. They were nice in a rich kid sorta way. I'm sure if I thought I was the center of the universe I would find them both rather charming."
"Damn it. Why do you have to go to that snobby school anyway. There are perfectly good publics schools here!"
"Whatever hey I gotta go. I'm in the library and I don't want to be caught on my cell phone the first day."
"Slip her a Benjamin."
"Ha Ha very funny. I'm hanging up on you now smart-ass."
She pressed the end button and checked her surroundings. No one was there. She stepped out and looked at the book in her hand. She had been so keen on not getting caught she hadn't put it back on the shelf.
Might as well check it out. I have no idea where I got it.
She turned toward the direction of the librarian's desk and started walking briskly. She didn't notice the boy shooting out from behind a pillar. They collided hard but she managed to stay upright while the boy fell flat on his back. His glasses fell and bounced a couple feet away.
"Oh! Sorry I didn't see you!" Eyrie reached for the boy's glasses then quickly offered him a hand up. Once he was steady she handed him his glasses. She studied him as he dusted off. He was wearing a middle school Ouran uniform and had a brown bowl cut.
"I'm terribly sorry miss. I wasn't paying attention."
"Excuse me but...if you're a middle schooler why are you here? Are the libraries open to all grades? Isn't your grade in a different building? Or floor?" Eyrie spewed out the questions as soon as they came to her. She felt the curiosity bubbling up in her but tried to force it down and keep her expression blank.
"The libraries are opened to all ages of course. I came here to get away from someone but I could have just as easily come here to study on my lunch break. Yes my grade is in a different building. I think when you say floor you're thinking of different subjects." he said all this while he was brushing himself off and didn't look at her once. Eyrie could feel anger boiling up in her chest.
These damn rich people think that just because their families have a little money everyone is beneath them. She forced herself to calm down. After all he did answer your questions instead of ignoring you.
"Ah. I see. I'm sorry I wasn't aware. Today is my first day. I'm grateful that you answered my questions though. I'm sure that will help me in the future." Eyrie gave him a small smile as he finally straightened to look at her.
"You are quite welc-" his breath caught in his throat as he looked at her face. Suddenly he was leaning with one hand against the wall and one against his heart.
Thats what she looks like?! Didn't the rumors say she was a hag? And I didn't even know it was the new student until she said so. She's going to think I'm an arrogant boar after this. I should have looked up when I spoke. Instead of being worried about my clothes. Gaahhh!
Eyrie sweat dropped as she watched the boy stare at the wall with shadows hanging over him. "Um hello? Are you alright?"
The boy started then suddenly he was standing before her, perfectly composed. "Yes. I'm sorry. My name is Yasuchika Haninozuka."
Eyrie looked at him with an unreadable expression. "I am Eyrie Omorfie. A pleasure."
What is that look for?! Chika thought.
Remember you didn't come here to make friends. Eyrie tried to remind herself. She felt her curiosity growing. In the days leading up to her move to Japan she had been so occupied with the personal files of the students her grandmother had sent her and learning the language she hadn't had time to learn about Japanese culture. He answered me questions willingly even though he didn't know who I was. Maybe...
"Oh is this yours?" Chika asked, picking up the book that she had dropped in their collision.
"Oh! Yes. Thank you. You said your name was Yasuchika yes?"
She has such a formal way of talking; and what's with that nothing expression? She sounded so animated when she was asking questions.
"Tell me Miss Omorfrie...have you met any of the third years?" Chika asked as he blushed and looked away.
How odd. Eyrie thought.
"No I don't believe I have. Why do you ask?" she replied.
"Oh its nothing." he said rubbing the back of his neck.
"So who were you running from?" she asked to break the silence.
"Oh! That well I have this friend..."
"YAAAASUUUCHIIIKAAA!"
They heard a rumbling through the library and a voice yelling Chika's name.
"What is that?" Eyrie said, cocking her head slightly. She looked back at Chika who suddenly had shadows hanging over him. "Yasuchika?"
Suddenly a boy flew in from behind a pillar and clubbed Yasuchika in the head with a kendo practice sword.
"Yasuchika! Why did you refuse the karate clubs request for a club switch?! It would have been good for them to have some diversity for a day!"
The new boy was shouting in Chika's face and completely ignoring Eyrie. She looked at the anger building in Chika's expression and nearly smiled when he let loose and started yelling back.
"Stupid Satoshi why should I agree to something like! That if they want to learn new things they should just join the other clubs that's what they're there for right?! Stop blaming it on me!"
A timid looking older woman shuffled up and kept opening her mouth only to shut it again when one of them started shouting. Eyrie eased around the boys and gently put a hand on the woman's shoulder.
"Why don't you go back to your desk? I'll handle this." she said with a reassuring look. The librarian looked flustered for a moment then nodded. Eyrie's expression fell back into the nothingness and turned to the boys who were still having a shouting match.
"How rude. You haven't even introduced yourself." she stated calmly while crossing her arms and leaning onto a pillar. Both the boys stopped mid-shout to look at her in surprise.
"Oh Miss Omorfie I'm sorry. This is-" Yasuchika began, having forgotten the second year was there at all. She held up a hand to stop him mid-sentence.
"The one who made the mistake should be the one to correct it." she stated. She lowered her hand and looked pointedly at the dark, spiky haired boy. Both of the middle schoolers looked at each other. If anyone else had said something so similar to a fortune cookie to them they would have laughed but this girl's attitude and expression seemed to demand respect and they felt thoroughly reprimanded.
"Oh uh, I apologize Sempai. I am Satoshi Morinozuka." Satoshi bowed and turned pink. Eyrie's nothing expression softened to an almost smile. She took a moment to take in his appearance. He had on the same uniform as Yasuchika and it contrasted heavily with his tan skin tone and dark hair. She could tell he had a friendly face even though he was rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Eyrie Omorfrie. I'm new." she said with a bow. She watched his eyes widen.
"You're the new student? I thought you were supposed to be a-oompf." he was cut off by Yasuchika elbowing him. Eyrie watched this and the pointed look that came after. She was about to ask what it was about when she saw the librarian peaking at them out of the corner of her eye. Eyrie turned to give her full attention to the lady. The librarian saw and gave her a bright smile and two big thumbs up. Eyrie smirked and turned back to the boys.
"We should probably get out of here so we don't cause her anymore trouble. I could walk you back to class." she said. Satoshi gave her a smile that split his face and Chika nodded solemnly. Eyrie was struck with how different they both were.
Even though they were arguing its obvious they are great friends. she thought as they started walking out of the library, down the hall. Satoshi finally decided to break the silence.
"So Eyrie-sempai are you enjoying your first day of Ouran?" Satoshi asked as he practically skipped next to them.
"Stupid Satoshi don't call her that without her permission." Yasuchika said with an exasperated look. Satoshi raised his shinai but before he could bring it down Eyrie spoke.
"Oh I don't mind Yasuchika. Actually I would prefer it if both of you called me that." her voice was warm but her expression was still nothing. The boys looked at each other; Satoshi in triumph and Yasuchika in anger.
"Have you met any third years yet Eyrie-sempai?" Satoshi asked. Eyrie gave him a slightly quizzical look.
"No...Yasuchika asked me the same thing."
"Well that's probably because we both have brothers who are third years!" Satoshi said, giving her a thumbs up. Eyrie noticed a vein pop out on Yasuchika's forehead.
"Is that so?" she said carefully.
"Yup! Takashi Morinozuka is my big brother." Satoshi said, puffing up his chest with pride. "You've probably heard of him. He's amazing at kendo. And judo. And everything else."
Eyrie raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like you're rather fond of him."
"Yep! Taka is the best!" Satoshi cried.
"Hmm. Who is your brother Yasuchika?" Eyrie asked politely. Yasuchika hmf'd and turned his head.
"The alien that claims to be my brother is Mitsukuni Haninozuka." Chika said with disdain. Eyrie raise an eyebrow.
"I see." she said. She turned forward and kept walking, not wanting to pry. They passed at couple of girls who were walking in the opposite direction. One of them swerved and caught Eyrie's shoulder with her's. Eyrie barely moved but the other girl ended up tripping on her own feet and landing on the ground in a heap.
"Watch it, Gremlin!" the girl shouted as she quickly picked up her books and scurried away. Her friend shot Eyrie a death stare.
"Stupid Gnome." she snarled before dashing after her friend. Eyrie's face remained blank as she stared after the girls. Satoshi and Yasuchika were turning red with anger.
"Hey! You get back here and apologize!"
"Yeah that was your fault and you know it!"
"How dare you call Eyrie-sempai a gnome!"
Eyrie looked at the two middle schoolers and said, "Its fine. Let's go."
Satoshi and Chika looked at her in surprise.
"But Eyrie-sempai that girl..." Satoshi started.
"It's fine Satoshi. Thank you though-for worrying about me that is." she gave a small smirk.
They both blushed and Satoshi gave her a big grin.
"Well ok then!"
Satoshi chattered all the way to the courtyard. Yasuchika glanced at his wristwatch and interrupted Satoshi's monologue of how great Takashi is.
"The bell is about to ring Miss Omorfie. You should start heading back so you aren't late."
"Yea we wouldn't want to make you late." Satoshi said, already dragging Chika along. "It was nice meeting you! We'll see you around!"
Such nice boys. I always did get along better with people younger than me. Eyrie mused while walking back to her building. She had memorized the way to the classroom so it wasn't hard to find right away. When she went in she was the only one there other than the teacher. She came in and sat down with her book.
I wonder what those girls meant by gremlin...and gnome. Eyrie thought,letting her mind wander. Obviously they are jealous of me and trying to make me feel inferior but the is usually to protect something of theirs. There doesn't seem to be a real social caste here so it isn't their popularity...not that I would want that anyway. Who would want to be fake friends with a bunch of snobby, rich kids?
Suddenly the bell rang and people started filtering into the classroom. Out of nowhere she heard a running and the door of the classroom slammed straight opened.
"Miss Omorfie! Good you're here!"
It was Tamaki. Eyrie put on her nothing expression and watched as he made his way over to her with Kyoya following behind at a leisurely pace; she couldn't help but notice that all the other female eyes followed their progress as well. They all snuck angry glances at Eyrie.
Ah. So that's what they're protecting.
"Miss Omorfie I wanted to ask you if you would accompany me after school." Tamaki asked with exuberance. "I would like to introduce you to the Host Club!
What?! Eyrie has more than two emotions?! I know, I know. And Mysteriousity1 (A more human Sherlock and a rougher Watson) I hadn't really given it much thought (When I gave the shoutouts I hadn't actually read the reviews yet -_-) but I am so incredibly in love with Sherlock Holmes that I can't really be surprised that a little of him leaked into my characters without me even noticing it. Also, Doieversleep (Briarand Eyrie's relationship being brother/sister)...you called it...like you absolutely called this chapter. I read your review then I reread their phone coversation...nice. Are you sure you aren't psychic? Anyway all reviews are appreciated and yes I plan on giving a shout out to every one of my reviewers every time so look for your name in the next chapter!
