Ch. 8 Black Magick?

Elise's POV
* * * * * * * * * *
Last night I didn't sleep much, so I found myself drifting off in Maths. One more class untill lunch. I though about Koaru's plan and shivered. That boy is an evil genius. But who is he doing this for? I was shaken back to reality by Tamaki poking at me. I growl and bite his finger causing him to scream. " SUOH, HOW MANY MORE TIMES WILL YOU DISTURB MY CLASS?" Mr. Hiratsu glared at him from the board. Tamaki slowly stood and walked over to a supply closet, where I found out he had been growing mushrooms. Mr. Hiratsu shook his head and returned to the lesson. What kind of mushrooms is Tamaki growing in there? I think as I doze off yet again.

At lunch, I met up with Koaru and we headed to the black Magick club. "I thought you could only be a part of one school club?" I question him as we enter. "Nah, you can be a part of as many clubs as you want, as long as you have the time for it." He shrugs. "Welcome, my dark children." Nekozawa Sempai greeted us. "Today, we will do the initiation ritual, to welcome our newest babies." He chuckles darkly and pushes us into the middle of a pentagon. The other members surrounding us and started chanting weird shit. Suddenly I got a huge headache and put my hands to my head. An image of my mother's favorite necklace crosses my mind. It's the same as this pentagon we're standing on. I frown, unsure why I was thinking of these things. "Here." Nekozawa hands Koaru a glass object and he stares at it shocked. "Wh-What the hell?" He asks. "Go on. Hit it. Then you'll be one of us." Nekozawa urged him. He looked at me oddly, she shrugged, "Okay then.." He put the glass to his lips and I gasp a little, now realizing what it was. Koaru coughs immediately after, a cloud of smoke escaping his lips. They take the pipe and pass it to me. We have to smoke weed to be innitiated? I shake my head, "I can't. " I say and try to hand it back. Koaru stops me, with a small smile on his lips, "It's okay. " He says, and I look back at the mysterious bowl of green before me. What the hell. I put it to my lips and Nekozawa lights it for me. Inhaling, my lungs were on fire, but I held it in. Just as I held in all of my pain, my past, and my feelings for Kyoya. Then I let it go.

Then proceeded to cough like a maniac.

I look up at Koaru, and he grabs my hand. "The plan is now in motion."

After lunch, we head back to the Host Club for out free period. Upon entering, We find Honey Sempai crying as the Host Club surrounds him. "IT'S NOTHING, I swear!" He yells as Mori tackles him on the couch and prys his mouth open. "Well Mori?" Tamaki asks, concerned. Mori nod and Tamaki claps his hand. "Listen up everyone. Due to Honey's cavity, for the next couple days, all sweets will be banned from the Host club." As soon as Tamaki said this, Honey let out a loud wail. Mori Sempai let out a quiet sigh and took away the cake he was eating. "So did we miss a lot?" I ask watching Honey fall into a dark, sugarless abyss. "You did. Where were you two anyways?" Kyoya approaches us looking oddly at Koaru. "We joined the Black Magick club. It was actually fun. We even got our own Belzenef dolls." Koaru smiled holding up a little wood cat figurine. Tamaki over hears us and wimpers when he sees the doll. I look over to where Hikaru is sitting, staring at Koaru. When he sees me looking he frowns and turns away. The bell for class rings and we head back. Koaru stops and pulls me into a long embrace. "It's working, don't worry." He whispered and I nod and smile at him. "Thanks Koaru. You're very sweet." I play along with him. Kyoya suddenly grabs me by my wrist and pulls me with him, "We're going to be late hurry up." I hear Koaru chuckle behind me and smile a little. Maybe this will work after all. For the both of us. "Elise, you seem awfully tired today. What's up? Did you have another nightmare last night?" Kyoya asks still holding onto my wrist. "No. I guess I am tired. Tired of waiting." I pull away from him and walk to class ahead of him. Tamaki sees me and frowns, "You're up to something, then? You and Koaru, I mean." He asks and I chuckle, "Yeah. Something like that."

The car ride home was filled with silence between Kyoya and me. When we got home he stopped me at the staircase. "Waiting for what? What's going on Elise?" He asks, but shows no emotions on his face. "Waiting for the Shadow King to come out in the light. I'm- Well, I was waiting for you." I sigh and start upstairs. "Do you like Koaru?" He calls and I freeze. "What if I do, Kyoya? What will you do? Will you keep doing nothing?" I raise my voice a little. Kyoya frowns and walks up the stairs to me. He hesitates as he gets closer, but then grabs my face in his hands and gently pecks my lips. "I told you that your first kiss was mine. So remember it. If you like Koaru, then date him. But that kiss, belonged to me. It's only right that I would take it before him. Now you can do what you like." He shrugs. I punch his shoulder, "Baka." I mutter and run the rest of the way to my room. I collapse on my bed and bawl. Why is he doing this to me? I'm just his toy. I pick up my phone and call Koaru.

Fine then.

"Hey. Koaru? Let's go out tonight."
