Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adjacent to the Central Salon, the rose garden is small but eligent. As you enter from the salon you are greeted by an arbor covered in Lady Godiva Climbing Roses. After you pass under the arbor to your left is a pebble path that leads to a secluded bench. On either side of the bench are two exquisitely shaped Moonstone Hybrid Teas Roses.

If you follow the right path it leads to the center of the garden via an intimate path which is covered by some Eden Climbing Roses, this path enters the center of the garden from the backside. The path straight in to the center of the garden is directly in front of you as you enter.

In the center is a large four tiered fountain. On each side of the square center are two benches. To the right is a small out cove with a curved bench shaded by some more Moonstone Roses. To the left is another path that forks the right fork leads to another wing of the school, while the left fork leads to a large enclosed wooden gazebo.

Ryuu walked into the rose garden. He looked around then noticed Yukimi over at one of the benches. "Hey Yuki," Ryuu sat down next to her with his head hung. "They gave me a choice." Ryuu looked at Yukimi his eyes looked tired and worried. "I can either quit the club and be with you." Ryuu looked up, "Or I can stay in the club but have to marry the girl they chose."

Ryuu sighed and looked away again. "Either way they win. I'm sure they already know which I will choose. But I'm not sure if they know why." Ryuu paused and looked back at Yukimi waiting for her input before he continued.

Ryuu sighed, "I not going to choose. If I leave the club then more likely than not some of the girls will find out then we'll have a repeat of what happened to Yuriko or worse. I can't allow that." Ryuu shook his head, "I also can't leave you. I'm not going to let them push me. I don't care what it takes. They'll just have to learn that they can't push me around." Ryuu got up and looked at Yukimi with a smile.

Ryuu shook his head, "No it wouldn't be to torment me. If you are the one then they would do it to make me quit the club."

Ryuu paced back and forth, "By defying them they will try to get my sister to convince me. But since I suspect her. I have a feeling they'll use someone else now too." Ryuu sighed, "I have a feeling that some of the things they do are more tests." Ryuu looked at Yukimi, "Sometimes I feel like I'm playing right into their hands; and I suppose there is a very good chance that I am."

Ryuu sat down and held his head, "Argh, this is all so confusing."

Ryuu looked up at Yukimi, "Thank you," Ryuu hugged Yukimi, "Just being here is enough." Ryuu let go of Yukimi. "I need to speak with the rest of the club about this. They have to know just in case anything comes up. They have to be prepared."

Ryuu held on to Yukimi's hands and lifted her onto her feet. He then looked around when he we sure that no one was around he kissed her the kiss was nothing deep just a simple peck on the lips. Then with a smile left Yukimi to inform the other members of the Host Club of the events that had occurred the night before.

Miyuki wandered through the paths randomly. She found herself near a fountain and stopped to look at it. She sat down on the edge of it and leaned back looking up at the clouds. She sighed and made plans for the school year that would impress her father.

((Ah! Souka! I see! ^^))

Miyuki saw the girl and was startled by her sudden appearance. ((Sudden?! You should pay more attention!)) Sudden appearance! ((*Shakes head*)) And she fell backwards into the water. "Ah! Excuse! Sorry didn't mean to bother you." She said nervously standing up. If her father had seen her right now he'd have shaken his head in shame. If she was going to impress him she'd have to be more alert! She shook off her sleeve and stepped out of the fountain.
