Crossing The Line

Chapter Two

She knew it was wrong to stare but honestly she couldn't help herself and she was so very glad her mother wasn't there to see her blatantly gazing at her guide. But honestly how could she not stare? He was covered head to toe in a thick black cloak, a small cat puppet on his hand acting as the guide as he slowly talked, telling her of what was where and pointing out various random things.

Plus there was his aura, it was dripping darkness but it wasn't malicious. It was a siren's call, a familiar face in the crowd, it made her long for mid afternoons spent chasing down jewel shards. So enamoured with his aura, his very vibe, she ignored the sneer and disgruntled looks.

Nekozawa felt like a bug under a microscope, not once since he had introduced himself had she taken her gaze off of him. Her deep blue eyes swirling with emotions and thoughts, churning like the waves of the ocean. Trying to pull him in, so he let Belezbub take over the tour, the small puppet acting as a buffer between them.

Even so he would have to be daft and blind to not notice the way people were looking at the small female to his left. It made him frown, distaste flaring to life as the whispers became louder and louder the more she ignored them. It got to the point where they were blatantly talking about the small woman next to him not caring that she could hear them.

She merely ignored them, a small smile on her face she gazed at him and it made his protective instincts flare to life, her image overlapping with that of his younger sisters. Gritting his teeth so hard his jaw hurt her was hard pressed to not threaten to curse each and everyone of the people who let foul things slip from pretty lips.

Maybe Haruhi was right, maybe Ouran was full of nothing but rich bastards? Blinking as an idea struck him he nodded his head at it. "Kagome-sama have you heard of music room three?" He could only smile as she blinked up at him, tucking some hair behind her ear.

"No, should I have?" She wasn't much for music, not anymore. Once upon a time she had been in the choir but she had stopped after she had come back. Everytime she tried to sing it reminded her of Shippo and Rin asking her to sing them a song from her time... a time in which they were long gone.

No, it was easy to just throw herself into sports.

To work her body to the point that it shut down and then do it all over again.

Frowning as a grim look settled on the young woman's face he moved so Beelzebub could tap her nose with his finger making her laugh. The sound was like bells on the wind.

"Come, I think you'll enjoy it..." He knew that she would be okay if he brought her there. The host club had a way of taking in the ones that had nowhere else to belong. Himself included, so with a plan in place he began to lead the curious freshman towards music room three.

As they headed to the music room, Nekozawa made sure to point things out as they went. He could still hear people talking behind them as they walked, but he ignored them just like the girl next to him was. He did wonder if anything they said affected her or not, but he had a feeling it did. Her poster was stiff as they walked, but that is all they showed she was affected by anything.

"Here we are." Kagome snapped to attention as Nekozawa brought her inside a big room, but what caught her attention was the group of people in the room.

"We are clooo" A yelp was heard and Kagome, from behind Nekozawa, blinked when she saw a blond haired male shreak in fright before hiding behind a male with glasses.

"Nekozawa-Senpai....is there something we can help you with something..." His voice was cold but Kagome could detect a hint of annoyance underneath it. She had spent enough time around cold types of characters to read them.

"I am just showing the new student around..." Nekozawa stepped to the side to show Kagome who tilted her head as she saw the whole group. They seemed to be an interesting bunch, she still didn't understand Nekozawa wanted her to come here.

"AH! Princess! I didn't see you~ Come!" The voice of the blond made Kagome raise an eyebrow as he rushed to her, taking her hands in his, but before he could cup them and bring them up to his lips, she twisted his writs away from her, so they were not touching hers anymore. She took a couple steps back as quickly as she could, watching warily at what the blond would do next

The room went silent at the quick movements, before snickers could be heard. Kagome looked to the twins who were leaning against one another in laughter.

"Um..." Kagome muttered, glancing at Nekozawa with a curious look. She didn't know why she was here in this room, but she would like to leave now.

"This is Kagome Higurashi. She will be in Class 3-A." Nekozawa started but was cut off by another voice.

"You are the other commoner...though you got here on an Archery scholarship, if I am not mistaken." THis made the room turn to Kagome who nodded.

"That is correct..." She didn't know what else to say. She would like to leave now but she had a feeling she would be getting more questions asked before she would do so.
