All three of the Libraries look relatively the same. The Main library is the largest taking up as much room as the Central Salon. The Second floor is about the size of the lower half of the main library and mainly houses textbooks and other non-fiction. The Third floor library is the smallest (about the size of a classroom) and houses student works, newspaper clippings (school and public), as well as very old textbooks.
Main Library:
Beautifully large, carved and polished doors, held behind them is the vast amount of knowledge of the World. The shelves are specially made, each one relating to the topics it held. The the right Fiction; the facing side had the carefully carved scenes of mystical beasts and vines, magic with Merlin, in the far bottom left corner- some mischievious student(s) had artfully carved a witch burning and hanging as a joke, there were the initials RAR. To the left were everything from Mechantics, Science, Mythology, each and everyone with their own richly carved scenes.
Rows and rows of shelves finally gave away to a large study area with large gothic-like windows that stretched to the ceiling. The Sun shone brightly that day made a shadow on the floor of the web like Rosette window all the way at the top. This season's flowers and plants hung in the air by buffered silver hooks.

The doors burst open as the twins made their way in. "HELLO STUDENTS! HARD AT STUDY?!" Jon bursted. Many of the students looked up and shook their heads at the noise. "Jon come off it. Just because we don't care about the numbers these folks do care." Don said.
Jon looked at him agast."When did you have curtesy for the Studying?"
"Since this." Don whispered holding up what looked to be an rotting apple.
"Don, what the hell is that?" he hissed.
"Its a bang in a bag." Don replied. Jon nodded. "Sorry folks! Forgot to whisper." He apologised.
Eyes followed them as they lingered near the anatomy section.
"Proportions are a bit off."
"Just slightly, not everyone has to look like the Greeks." noted Don.
"You do."
"Jon...." he sighed. Some girls from behind the shelves heard this and dropped their stack of books.
"O-oh...ow..."
"Maribell are you alright?"
"Fine Vyolet!" they whispered quickly. They receded deeper into the shelves deeply flushed with the thoughts of the perfect polished white and gleaming marble men that the Greeks were so famous for making.
There were some whispers and a by poked his head out, "Mari, Vy. You too alright?"
"Yes alright!" they sqeeked. The boy relaxed and mumbled something underhis breath.
Don jumped on it. "You....how many hidden, deep and secretive ambitions do you have?" He asked with some inuendo.
"NONE!" Exclaimed the boy back away, "You two shouldn't be thinking like that either!"
"....tsk tsk. Man, get your head out of the gutter, we didn't mean anything like this. Don, do you think we found him?" pointing to the lad.
"nnnnn....No." Don responded, "too jumpy."

Don looked at the staring eyes. He shook his head. "Like I said the Library is filled with quiet men, but none with the alter ego ambition."
"Alright" Jon sighed. "We'll try your idea, to the Salon."
They both walked out without a word. The doors closed, they were all the way down the hall and just turned the corner when a loud BANG went off. Both twins poked their heads back around the corner just enough so only their eyes could be seen. Jon looked up at Don and game him a triumphant smile. Don returned it, when several people ran out and a small billow of white smoke came from within.
Don and Jon continued their walk.
"Don..."
"Nothing too damaging, it's just harmless white smoke."
"From Christmas I see, with the box of crackers I got you."
"Bingo."
They both walked down a flight of stairs merrily side by side.

Yuriko sat at one of the tables flipping through some anatomy books for her class. Taking notes on this and that. Trying her hardest to ignore the twins who were making themselves look like idiots. She was happy went they mentioned they were going to head for the Salon.
When the explosion of went off and white smoke filled the air Yuriko whom was very upset now slammed her hands down on the table.
Those low down little twerps. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind.
Yuriko was about to just leave her books and notes there but then decided it would be better to pack her things up and put the books away. But before she could put anything away she would have to dust off the white powder from her notes and from the books.
Why do they always have to treat people like toys?
She finally got everything cleaned up then made her way to the Salon.

About an hour had passed since Jon had left him alone. Don had opened up the curtain and decided to walk about the school only stopping at the Library door. He pushed it open the place was still filled with the white dust from the smoke bomb. He stepped inside and the closes closed themselves. No one was there, and so Don was free to walk about as he wished without any wandering eyes. He stopped at the study area. He looked at the clouded half window. He walked over and placed a hand over it. He ran his hand over it and looked at what came off. His palm was completely white. He rapped the coated windows with his knuckles, at one point it sounded hollow. He rapped it harder and the white surface cracked.
All alone and nothing to do he spent his idle time picking at the window.

Not knowing of the mess in the library Mari skipped down the hallway and opened the door to the library and let out a gasp. She saw Don over picking at one of the windows.
"Why are you picking at the window?" Mari asked making sure to keep her bunny out of the dust. "You don't look very happy. I thought all of the members of the Host Club were happy all of the time."
Mari moved a book from one of the seats to find a bare spot to put her bunny.
"Did something bad happen to you?" Mari looked around. "Oh I know!" She hit her fist on the palm of her other hand. "The explosion ruined one of your projects!"

Nana entered the library and was shocked at what she saw.
"What... happend..?" She asked herself softly as she went around the place looking for the book on Anatomy that she was planning to borrow. "Damn anatomy.." she muttered. "I can never get it... Now, Where is that book!?"

Don smiled at the little girl's remark about Host Members are always happy. She's cute. He thought He pushed is fingers into one crater space and pulled hard. A large chunk fell out. "I'm cleaning up a mess that someone left here." He said to Mari. "And well, most of the time we're happy, but Host Members are people too, you know, we have to feel upset every once in a while, or....it ruins the balance between people. " He explained, but at the last bit his voice grew a little quieter.
But his spirits lifted when he thought of Mari's sudden remark about projects. He stopped picking at the window and rest his head on the now bare glass pane. When was it the last time he actually did a project for school? Last Semester? No...two semesters ago? Well over a year. And yet he and Jon, still recieved passing marks on these Semester determining grades. They, as many liked to say, "pull something extradinatary out of an invisible hat.". Be had to anser Mari truthfully since a lie didn't seem would settle correctly in his troubled heart at the moment. "No. I'm not upset by my project. In fact, I never started mine. I know it's due very soon, but I have alot of other things on my hands. But I should and maybe I will, once I'm done, with a job that I have to do." He said cocking his his head back slighty to look at Mari. How innocent. She had eyes like crystal. She was very warm.
He heard some shuffling and he craned his neck over a bit. He saw another girl. "oi, if you are looking for Anatomy books you'll have to use some other resources until the library is cleaned up. " He called.

Mari giggled. "That's why I like Elementary School we don't have huge projects."
"I saw one girl a little bit ago outside one of the windows with some other people cleaning up some white stuff off of a lot of papers. She didn't look too upset about her papers."
Mari lifted up her bunny and sat down placing her bunny on her lab. "I bet she's just glad she has people to help her get all of her work back."
Mari turned to Nana. "The main library between the Middle School and High School should have clean books that you can look at." Mari frowned, "But there aren't any with many pictures."
Mari turned back to Don, "You know what, I like you. You can be one of my new friends."

Don turned around, a little surprised at the remark. He laughed, "It would be a pleasure!" He said with a beaming smile. "May I ask for you name? My name is Don, Don Rivers, not to be confused with my twin Jon Rivers." he said mildly.

"I'm Mari, Mari Yoshida." Mari smiled, "and this is Mr. Whiskers my bunny."
Mari cocked her head, "Are you having a fight with your brother. I hope that once my momma has her baby that I won’t fight with her."

He took the small arm of the bunny and held it gently in his hand and bowed. "It is a great pleasure to meet you, Mari and Mr. Whiskers. You are very lucky to be able to have such great company all the time." He joked. But his face became a little rigid and he felt a surge of great emotion erupt when little Mari struck home about his brother. But as he looked at her and at Mr. Whiskers he was able to calm down. "ieh...just a tiny quarrel, nothing to worry about. Most of the times we are good friends, its just the occational days when he opens his mouth a little too big. Like this...." He stretched his mouth with his fingers ,"NYA!" He made a funny face, "This is when...he lets out a bunch of mean words that he should keep to himself.' he explained and let go of his lips, they were a little sore for being stretched but the little sensation was worth it, seeing Mari smiling. "I'm sure your Momma will be very happy with two kids. And I'm sure you will be a great big sister." he encouraged, "plus you have Mr. Whiskers to help you too." he added cheerfully.

Mari clapped her hands. "Papa says I'll be a good big sister too! I can't wait." Mari put one of her fingers to her lip, "Hum, maybe if you give your brother a stuffed animal he'll have some one to help him be a good big brother too."
Mari's eyes gleamed, "He sounds like he'd like a bear, or maybe a cat."

"oh." Don looked at Mari with surpise, then he calmed and smiled. "Maybe. Maybe he could use a friend like that. " He said quietly and taking a seat next to Mari. "Why are you in here in the first place, lil' Mari? Nn?" he asked, since the place was a little dark, dusty and was very unfriendly at the moment with the residue all over the place. And yet Mari seemed unfazed that the place looked lik an abandoned mansion.
