She continued to glare at him as he walked away. Stupid b*****d. Why did he always get under her skin so? There was something wrong with him, and she was going to find out. Maybe not tonight, but she would soon.

"Hahaha...Back to your old catchphrase huh? Also...you should probably take some aspirin for that headache. I can hear your blood pounding in your head from here." Kyoku chuckled to herself whilst shaking her head. She was going to get her friend back whether he liked it or not..

"I'll be seeing you around and hopefully soon...Blue Eyes," She murmured as she passed by him, heading out toward the gardens. She needed a quiet place to calm down before she got out of control. Though his eyes weren't blue anymore, she still cling to the nickname she'd given him. She wouldn't let that go.

December 23rd


Through the hug from Hikaru Neji panicked. Still her friend had not realized Sinestra was Sin's son and not Akihori's. They were treading into dangerous water here...But then suddenly she remembered something. Sin had in fact been a student teacher for at least a week! "Yes, that is right Sinestra...your father was a teacher for a little while." This put an end to the sudden confusion the little blonde's face displayed.

"Artemis, please take Sinestra." Neji then said to the bodyguard who was on standby. There couldn't be any more risks of her son hearing the truth about his older sister's illegimate birth. Swiftly the dark skinned woman saw to Sinestra being removed and taken to the limo waiting outside. "Goodbye, lady Hikaru. Thank you again for the candy." Once she was sure both were out of ear shot...Neji turned back to Hikaru. It was better that the truth came out now.

"Sinestra is son to the late his majesty Sin. Akihori is father to only Mei-Ying....Sinestra nor does Mei-Ying know."

December 23rd

The bolt of pain that surged through Vincent could not be put into words at that very moment. It ran down his spine and even to his fingertips. After all this time, was Sin seriously bent on having Koske near him? He would think Sin would have forgotten that boy, or at least put him far from his royal thoughts. It wasn't right. Koske wasn't the one who felt that his life no longer had any meaning, when he heard the king was no longer in this world...perished through taking his own life. Koske wasn't there alongside he and his sister Ran-Mao...putting their skins on the line to rescue Sin either, not that they knew it was him they would discover at the time.

Vincent exhaled, and continued to dab away at the food that had been up chucked. Jealousy was what had driven a huge wedge between them before. It could have been worse. The king could have asked for the deserter Dante...whom Vincent could admit he hated with a passion. He could have asked for him.
"Where is he?" Sin asked again, as he then took a sip from the tea cup Vincent brought to him, after seeing to it that he was no longer a mess. Earl grey tea. Delicious. He had forgotten what this tea meant for the nobles tasted like.

"Your guess is good as mine Sin. I haven't seen him in years." Seriously, for all Vincent knew...Koske could have gotten some serious therapy for his traumatic experiences with Sin, got a desk job at some business place, got married, had kids, and spent his nights at a bar...to escape his nagging wife and cry into his beer. "Not even a Christmas greeting card." Why did Sin care so much about the whereabouts of the emo? Surely rounding up the old gang after all this time...wasn't on the menu. This bugged the raven haired and made questions pop into mind. Where had Koske and Dante gone? Sin had always managed to keep a tight leash on all of his hounds. Would it be distasteful to ask so soon when Sin's health was still declined? "Sin, where did Dan-"

"I want you to find him." Sin cut Vincent off sharply, with the newfound strength he had received from his comforting drink. "And I want you to bring him to me." Vincent stared dumbfound. Sin's lips then formed into a smile, and if he were some child said, "I like Koske, he stayed with me nearly to the end. Koske wins." If Vincent would have known he was going to be put back into some bullshit like this...he would have left the king chained in the cell.

Maybe....Okay not really.

"What do you mean he stayed with you?" Vincent idly then moved towards his computer desk, and pretended to look for something in order to hide his shaking fists. "Well, it was not Koske exactly. Toshiro stayed with me all night, but in the morning he was gone." Sin took a deep sip from his tea. "Call it a one night stand if you will, but he was there. The only dog I did not have to look for."

Koske...Koske...Koske. Vincent decided he didn't like Koske right now...so it was time for a subject change. The thought of Toshiro laying next to a sleeping Sin...made his blood sing in anger. "Sin," Vincent started in a hesitant manner. "What drove you to the edge? Why didn't you call me? Do you have any idea how relived to know that you're alive?" He looked back to the tea drinking boy. Would he want to talk about he ended up in the asylum like prison? "Played with my mind he did." Sin started quietly to the other's surprise, before moving to the next question without an explanation for what he meant.

"I did call you, but you did not answer."

December 23rd

"I do not want to talk about this anymore." Sin clanked down the teacup upon the saucer. He turned his head to the side, and continued to stare into the darkness the blindfold provided. "I do not want to talk about anything else right now." There was a long silence before Sin spoke again, and when he did it was a topic Vincent hadn't expected the king to concern himself with...so soon. "Neji." This topic would be more overwhelming for the fragile mind...then Koske. "She is fine. Please Sin, you can think about her and your kids later."

"My kids?"
Vincent had called it. The thoughts of his wife and his children would be too much right. Especially, if he began to wonder if she had taken the opportunity to run off with the one...that had ruined them all in some way. "You're starting to look better already. I'll get you some clothes...my clothes doesn't suit you." Where was Ran-Mao with Sin's clothes already?

He thought to himself as he peered into his own closet....Nothing in here seemed to be Sin's style. "Hey Sin, how do you feel about wearing black?" Instead of a retort about how he would rather wear white or blue...Vincent heard a thud, turned, and assumed the worse. Sin had fallen, as he had tried to get to his feet and stand....His legs gave out from being out of use for so long.

"Sin! Don't push yourself!" Vincent hurried to the blonde and picked him up in a rescued princess manner. "I'm here, so you don't have to do that."

"......."
~~~~~~~~*************************************~~~~~~~~~~~

He wants me to find Koske, but how on Earth am I supposed to know where he is? Vincent threw his arms behind his head and stretched a bit at the same time. It's not like we had the same social connections or anything. "...Oh s**t..." The reunion....!! Mitsuki!!

Vincent whipped out his phone and dialed Mitsuki's number.

[Another Abandoned account]

The moment Mitsuki heard the ringtone that had been made specifically for Vincent, the singer slammed her heels into the floor so she and Sheik would come to a skidding halt. This was a phone call she had to take, therefore the prank that was in the very near future...would have to wait. "Sheik, I have to take this." The cyan blue haired girl said, whirling around so fast that her long ponytails would smack the other in face, as she opened her cellphone and placed it to her ear. "But we will still continue with the plan when I come back! Excuse me!"

Then in a cyan blue tornado disappeared moving backwards, waving apologetic to Sheik, as she moved towards the outside. She wouldn't be distracted by the noise...and Vincent would have her undivided attention. "Viiiinnnnnccceeeenntttt heart heart ~~~" Mitsuki sang into the speaker. Unfortunately, when spinning Mitsuki didn't have much control over where she was going....and so...she didn't see the raven haired and purpled haired eyed other, who looked to be on his way out.

SMACK.

Mitsuki's charm covered phone went flying into the air and Mitsuki went falling. @.@

[jeatstream15]

Sheik came to a sudden stop and fixed his hair a bit. It sounded like she had gotten an important call. "Oh don't worry about it. Please, take your time!" He said while moving his hand around after being pulled around from it. Now that he thought about it, no one had really bothered him from work. It was strange to him but right now he would rather enjoy himself instead of thinking about job things like that. He grabbed a little dessert from a passing by tray and ate it while looking around at the place he actually wanted to see again. 'Hmm, these sweets are pretty good.' He thought while he ate.

A few days before December 23rd

"Viiiiinnnnnnnccceennnttt~~ heart heart " Vincent's ear was filled with the voice dripping of lovey dovey; to the point he nearly pulled the device away. "Mitsuki," He nearly said breathlessly to his own surprise, before adding quickly so Mitsuki wouldn't talk over him just in case. "Are you at the reunion?" Vincent waited for a response, and it was then to his upmost surprise when he heard no reply. "Mitsuki....Mitsuki?" He looked down at his phone to make sure they were still connected. "Mitsuki!"


"Mitsuki? That name sounds very familiar." Sin's voice broke in, "Is she your.....what I never thought I might say...Girlfriend?" Vincent turned to see Sin standing, and holding onto the corner of the wall for support. "From the way you call her name so....I might think so." Sin laid part of his head against the wall. "And what is this reunion you speak of?"
Sin's movement about the apartment had not been expected, nor wasn't the fact that he may be listening in on his conversation....So Vincent wasn't able to come up with a lie...if he had wanted to.

"Yeah, Mitsuki is my girlfriend and the Ouran high school is having a reunion." Sin was quiet. Without being to see his eyes....the other couldn't guess what he might be thinking about. "She is your girlfriend." Sin then said in a light tone.

"Yeah." Vincent repeated, unsure why it bugged him to admit this...it wasn't like he and Mitsuki were keeping their relationship on the down low. The media had saw to that....paparazzi would follow them like mad when they were together and in not some sort of disguise. Well, Mitsuki to be exact...He personally didn't care, would simply continue wearing his shades, and wear whatever he had in his closet.

"We should to the reunion." Sin said, seeming bored of the current topic and taking it upon himself to change it. "But Sin you're still not well!" Going to the reunion at this point reeked of potential problems...

"We are going Vincent. Maybe I want to meet your girlfriend."

[Kaoru X Hitachiin]

Catchphrase? He remembered someone else saying the same thing to him...strange. People were strange. Ignoring her quip about his headache, Koske continued walking. It was too late for him to go back after his targets now...he was just lucky they didn't see him. Koske was confused by her last comment on his eyes, but didn't ask about it- if she was leaving him alone, he didn't want to say anything that would bring her back.

Deciding it was prudent to get back to the party to see where his other targets were, Koske suddenly heard his cell phone vibrate; it was his superiors. They were revising their list. He had several new targets to befriend, but several less to gain trust from- he was simply allowed to kill them. Perfect. Walking back inside, Koske had just been putting his cellphone away when he bumped into someone;

Mitsuki Yuki. Famous singer and performer in the pop culture arena.

Acting quickly, Koske caught both Mistuki and her phone before they hit the floor.

[Another Abandoned account]

Mitsuki was use to falling, but that didn't mean that they didn't hurt any less. Her eyes closed in preparation and she waited to the floor....all of this in the split few seconds. This one would be a doozy and surely it would be one of her louder screams yet. "Uh?" Mitsuki opened her eyes and blinked. Why did she feel no pain, and instead of hitting something hard...fell against something soft? "Oh." The singer looked up to see that she had been saved...and seconds later her phone being caught. Mitsuki's eyes sparkled in admiration....That was so cool. She then looked further up to look into the face of her savior. The sounds of a winning slot machine then went off in her head. "!!...!!!!!!!!.......!" heart . heart HOT! HOT! HOT! From the way the light shined perfectly onto his face....her savior looked like some hero...that had stepped out a manga.

"T-thank you!" Mitsuki then managed to get out once the hearts had disappeared from her pupils. "You have really great reflexes Sir."

Reiko glanced at the little one sitting beside her. The little girl was swinging her tiny legs back and forth in excitement while humming happily. Reiko couldn't help but smile at her little girl. Her world. Her little girl was the last gift her late husband gave her. And what a gift she was. Cheshire Katherine Wells, that was the name she chose for their daughter. Reaching out, Reiko pet her daughter on the head, smoothing the curls a little. If only Demetrius could see their little girl. She had inherited his lovely blue-ish eyes.

Ah yes the curls. Cheshire Kat begged her mother to curl her hair. She wanted to dress up like mommy. A few weeks ago Reiko received her invitation to the Reunion, but wasn't sure she wanted to go. Arthur encouraged her to go and have fun with old friends and he would watch Cheshire. Reiko told her little girl about the party, asking her what she thought. Her daughter merely looked at her with a big smile and said, "Mommy and Cheshire should play dress up, go to the party, and have an adventure!"

How could the young mother deny such a request? So Reiko decided she'd bring her little one along and show everyone what she'd been up to in the past years. The green eyed woman tugged her little girl towards her, hugging the little blonde as her eyes misted. She missed her husband so much. Though she'd promised Demetrius she would move on and find another to love and help raise their child....Reiko couldn't imagine it would ever happen. Reiko wiped her eyes gently and gave her child another squeeze.

"Are you excited my little Cheshire Kat?" Cheshire stopped humming and looked up at her mother, smiling. She nodded vigorously. "Mmhm! Very! I cannot wait to meet your other friends Mama~! Oh! Will Auntie Kyoku be there? I haven't seen her in sooooo long, she better be there," pouted Cheshire, her English accent making her pout all the more adorable.

The older blonde chuckled at her daughter's excitement. She was happy to see her so happy and excited. "I'm glad you are sweetie.You know what? Maybe someone else will bring their kids and you'll have someone to play with. Would that be nice?" Cheshire giggled, swinging her legs once more. "That would be fun, Mama! I would very much like that. Look Mama we're here, we're here!" Cheshire nearly leapt from the seat, however the seatbelt kept her from doing so.

Reiko laughed, patting her girl on the head. "Calm down little one. At least let the driver stop t the curb so we don't have to walk so far out in the cold." Cheshire sighed softly. She couldn't help it she was so excited! Once the car stopped in front of the building, Cheshire unbuckled her seatbelt and practically dragged her mother inside. She vaguely heard her mother tell the driver she would call when they were ready to be picked up. Grabbing her mother's hand, Cheshire dashed up the stairs, her little curls bouncing.

As they entered the building, the little girl started scanning the room for other children. She spotted a little boy with a lady with silver hair that looked a lot like her Aunt and another woman with purple hair. Both women, Cheshire thought, were pretty. "Look Mama! there's a little boy over there!"

Reiko followed her daughter's gaze and saw Neji with a little boy and another woman. It had been forever since she'd seen the other vampiress. "Aww, well it looks like you'll have someone to play with tonight then, Cheshire Kat. Neji!" Reiko called out to the fellow mother, hoping she would remember her.

[Kaoru X Hitachiin]

Koske looked at the singer in confusion at her sudden strange look. He stood her back up and held out her cell phone. "...thanks." He said in reply to her compliments. He was trying to be polite so as to avoid any more situations like with Kyoku- he had to be more careful here than he'd been so far, or he would fail. He never failed.

Picking his sunglasses, which had fallen off when he bumped into mitsuki, off the floor, Koske replaced them on his face again, and turned to find a quiet place to sit.

Neji awaited Hikaru's response. The suspense on what the other woman might say was already driving Neji mad. It was expected that anyone would be shocked...to hear that she had perhaps willingly lied...with the one that had caused everyone such pain. Only did the vampiress find an early release from the hold suspense had around her...was when she heard another call her name. "?..."

The silver haired then turned her head to the side to see Reiko...who too was a mother now. Neji smiled at her, despite the pain she was feeling from confessing Sinestra's father to Hikaru, and then down to the little blonde girl who held her mother's hand. So cute. Neji felt her squeeze...when she remembered that she too had a little girl at home.

Sinestra noticed the other blonde child and stared, aside from his sister Mei-Ying...he often never saw another little girl. "Artemis," The young prince then said to the bodyguard that held his hand. "There is a girl. Can I talk to her?"
Artemis looked to Neji who nodded. Sinestra then walked forward towards the other young child.

[Another Abandoned account]

Mitsuki accepted her phone back with both hands, turned, and immediately stared down at in disbelief in seconds later. Vincent had hung up! Her face darkened in a manner that could rival Hikaru's when it came to fear. OH. GOD. SHE. HAD. UPSET. VINCENT. I am the worst girlfriend in the world. An aura of doom began to surround her, only to be broken when she remembered her savior near by. Mitsuki didn't want him to think he had did something wrong by saving her.

"Um!" Mitsuki whipped around, and saw the heroic figure walking away. I upset him too!!! "Wait!" The singer called, as she would follow the hero to where he would now sit. "I'm not mad at you! I'm really grateful that you saved me! If it weren't for you...I would have ruined my dress for sure this time!" Mitsuki caught her breath once she reached him. "At least let me know your name!

Reiko smiled back at the vampiress. She was happy to see recognition in her eyes. Reiko walked towards Neji and let go of Cheshire's hand, nudging her towards the little boy. "I can see you'd like to go talk with the little boy. Go ahead and play my little Cheshire Kat." "Okay Mama. You have fun with the ladies over there." Cheshire grinned and practically skipped over the little boy. When she got in front of him, she curtsied. "Hello there. How are you this evening?"

Reiko smiled at her daughter and walked over to Neji. "Hello Neji! How are you? It's been far too long!"

[Hikaru_202]

Hikaru smiled and waved to Sinestra as he was taken by Artemis. She was confused by Neji's comment about teaching for a short period of time...Aki had been a teacher the whole time she was in high school. It wasn't until Neji said that Sin had been the father that she understood. So...Neji and Sin had ended up together? She honestly couldn't picture the two together, especially since Neji was such a perfect match for Aki Sensei, but such was life, right? Hikaru was about to say something when she heard someone else say hi to Neji; it was Reiko!

Waving to Reiko and her daughter, Hikaru smiled at seeing the two. She'd kept close contact with Reiko over the years, and absolutely LOVED her daughter. She offered to babysit at any chance she got. "Reiko!!! I'm so glad you're here!!!!" She hugged her friend tightly. Looking over to Cheshire, Hika didn't get a chance to say hi before she was skipping off to see Sinestra...AW!

MAYBE THEY'LL BECOME BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!!
