Prince of Darkness & The Lady of Stars

Rain

[Back To Lena!!]

It's been a few days since that incident. I've been the errand girl for the White Lily League, AKA the Zuka Club, for some time now and it's utterly exhausting!! I sat in the corner today as the club practiced for their performance in a month. They did the same boring stuff as they always did. Benio layed on the floor dramatically and one of the other members would be just as dramatically leaning over her saying whatever ridiculous line they made up.

I rolled my eyes tiredly and yawned as I slowly fell asleep. My nap was very short lived when Hinako poked my face. "Lena, no sleeping on the job! We don't pay you for sleeping!" She pouted

I opened my eyes, "1) you don't pay me at all. 2) Is there a reason why you guys can't just call me when you need something?" I groaned tiredly. Thanks to them I haven't been getting much sleep. They work on this performance really late in the day and it's not even that good.

"We don't have your number!" Chizuru chirped with a stupid giggle. I point to the board behind me angrily.

"I told you I posted it on the announcement board for everyone! I really need to get going I have more important stuff to do like picking up my nephew from daycare!!" I growled angrily.

"Speaking of which, aren't you an hour late?" Hinako questioned innocently while looking at the clock with a finger pointing at her lips. I turned around and saw that I was, indeed, an hour late. I'm sure my face had turned white from the horror.

"EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO GO!!!" I shrieked as I ran outside in the pouring rain to my car. I unlocked it quickly and was almost speeding to get to the daycare.

[Benio's POV]

We watched as Lena left in a hurry. I just stood there not really caring she'd be back anyway after she's done.

"Should we scold her for just leaving like that, Benio?" Hinako asked and I could hear the slight irritation.

"No no, leave her be. It's her family and an obligation. You haven't heard the rumors of her sister?" I responded with a sigh as Hinako shook her head.

"Apparently her husband died 3 years ago. She's been a depressed mess of a lady. Lena has been taking care of her older sister, her sister's son, and her younger brother who attends Ouran Academy and is friends with Haruhi Fujioka." Chizuru informed her delicately.

"Oh no I haven't heard that. I feel kind of bad now, she has to do all that in a day plus the work we give her."

"Hm...either way she still owes us."

"Indeed, but she does so with out hesitation and she has no problem with speaking her mind to anyone. Quite what this school teaches us girls. She's also doing very well in class especially chorus." I mumbled as I plucked the piece of paper off the board. Lena's number was typed in a large, bold, yet fancy font while the note under it was a little smaller and more sophisticated for everyone to know that it was strictly for business only. I was quite impressed and yet surprised that no one saw it posted in the middle of the board on top of everything. "Yes she is quite the interesting ugly duckling, hm?"

[Back to Lena]

I rushed into the small building as quickly as possible. I almost slipped, but caught myself on the counter as I panted heavily. I peered up over the counter and straightened my posture and bowed to the old lady at the computer. She looked at me like I was crazy. I wasn't surprised however, I was soaking wet after all and I did just run in here like a mad woman. I, also, almost fell face first and crack my skull open on the tiled floors.

"So sorry I'm late I had a club meeting and they kept me there even though I had to come pick my nephew up! Here's my ID." I rambled as I handed her my ID. She took it nervously.
