Chapter 7

"Come on Renge." Adelynn said holding the tray of hot cupcakes and cookies. "By the way, thanks again for helping me cook again Suzume." Adelynn said.
"It's fine. . . I like cooking." She said as she got out icing bags.
"My Kyoya will love these cookies." Renge shouts as she puts hers on a cooling rack. Adelynn looks at them. 'Their burnt.' She thinks
"Okay. . . Would you like to try one of mine." Adelynn said offering her cookies to both Suzume and Renge, giving them a happy smile.
"Oh, by the way Suzume I'll need to gets some recipe books for chocolates. Is there any you recommend?"
"I don't know, get back to me later. I'll bring some books by the Host Club later." Suzume said icing the cupcakes, not looking away. 'That's what happens when she wants to have her own catering business. I think Suzume is one of the only kids in this school that isn't taking their family's business. Must of been why I didn't mind picking her as a short term friend.'
"I hope the reading club enjoys are cupcakes!" Adelynn said smiling as she iced a batch of cupcakes, trying to be happy giddy high school girl.
"Renge!" Adelynn shouts, she hears the door creek from behind her, not even having to look. "Clean the dishes before you go." Adelynn orders, earning moans from Renge but she still did it anyway.
"I need to deliver my baked goods to my Prince Charming." Renge said making a run for it. Adelynn and Suzume roll there eyes at her and finish the cupcakes off.
"Thank you so much Suzume, I don't know a friend that would do so much for me." Adelynn said moving some of Suzumes hair behind her ear. Suzume just went bright red.
"I-It's alright. B-Besides, you he-helped me." Suzume said putting sparkles on the cupcakes.
"Bye." Adelynn said as Suzume left. Adelynn stood there for a couple of seconds in silence staring at her cookies she made. She looks over to Renges side and scowls at all the wet, still dirty, dishes.
"Well I best go see what the host club is doing." She moaned, just thinking about those idiots giving her a headache. She rapped the cookies up in a bag and walks to the club room. She opens the door. "I'm back!" She shouts. Then Renge appears, pointing her finger at Adelynn.
"And finally you, you are-" Renge starts but Adelynn pushes her finger out from her face. And calmly said
"It's rude to point, didn't anyone ever teach you manners." She said looking into Renge eyes, Renge quickly avoids contact and blushes.'What the hell did I do to make her blush?!' Adelynn thinks, groaning in her head but keeps a plain expression. Renge quickly regains her normal blood flow.
"You will be the girl that loves making others happy, but has deep dark secrets that run deep, you are also good at disappearing and always watch people suffer. You are 'The girl in the shadows'" Renge declares. Adelynn just leans to the side with raised eyebrows to look at the Host Club behind her.
"Is she being serious?" Adelynn asks.
"Y-" Kyoya starts
"Yeah, I don't care." Adelynn said as she just walks past him and flops on the couch. She goes in her bag and takes out the cookies. She inspects them and takes a big bite. She could hear Tamaki gasps.
"That's so unladylike!" He shouts pointing his finger. She looks him up and down boredly, keeping the same expression as Renge flirts with Kyoya and makes phone calls.
"Do you like sea food?" She asks still eating, Tamaki just nods, not sure what else to do. "Look." Adelynn said and opens her mouth getting Tamaki go on a rant about being a lady as the twins laugh. Adelynn lies there and eats. She sees Honey stare at the bag of cookies. She gets one out and throws it at him.
"Wow, these are amazing Rose-chan." Honey compliments.
"Thanks." Adelynn said in monotone.
"Is it me-"  "Or did she just sound like Mori-senpai." The twins say. Adelynn gets up and sits on the floor behind the sofa facing the wall and gets out a ball from her pocket and starts throwing it, repeatedly.
"Please may you stop that infernal noise Miss Rose." Kyoya asks holding the bridge of his nose; from being very annoyed from Renge and her screaming at her phone. Adelynn carrying on with throwing the ball along with a smirk on her face. Just because she was doing her job didn't mean she couldn't wined up the subject. Kyoya walks over to her looking down to her with a deadly aura around him.
"Miss Rose I would appreciate if you stopped." Kyoya said through gritted teeth with the darkness growing by the milliseconds.
"Kyoya, I would appreciate if you don't empty my locker." Adelynn said through gritted teeth. Getting everyone's attention, Adelynn looks up to him with no readable expression on her face.
"Excuse me?" Kyoya said pushing up his glasses.
"My locker. Don't touch it. I do not need your help." She said calmly and gets up facing him, looking up staring into his eyes. Kyoya stands there not sure what to do.
"I do not want club members to be bullied, especially when it can be avoided. I do not want it effecting your hosting, therefore decrease in profit." Kyoya said looking at his notebook as if he was reading it.
"We both know that's not the entire reason, and also, I don't need to be looked after by the likes of you." Adelynn calmly states before walking out the room ignoring everyone looking at her.
"Rose-chan doesn't seem well." Honey pouts.
"Yes, she seems to be rather drowsy." Kyoya adds writing in his notebook.
"Yeah, she doesn't look like she's been sleeping well." Haruhi said
"She got one question wrong in a test yesterday." Karou said.
"And? Their both scholarship students, it doesn't really matter." Hikaru said.
"Rose-chan always gets full marks." Honey said as they all stare at the door where Adelynn walked out of a second ago.
|||Time Skip|||
Adelynn sat there watching everything as the Host Club did their acting. She watched Hikaru, Karou and Tamakis acting. 'Actually their pretty good, it must be from all the acting they do in the host club.' Then it went to Honey scene. 'For some reason when Honeys being scary, its quite attractive. The clients are going to go crazy for this.' Then Honey started crying and Renge turns into Medusa. Adelynn gets up and hands water and towels over to the boys, smiling and skipping.
"Wow, it's like what happened this morning was a different person." Hikaru comments. They all stare at her, she has a girly aura flouting around her as she skips up to the boys smiling.
"Hikaru, Karou, will you get Mari Shizuoka to sign this?" Adelynn asks with a smile.
"Why do we have to do it? You do it." Hikaru complains
"I just need her to verify this information, and she'll do it if you ask." Adelynn asks doing puppy dog eyes. The twins just stare at her in shock, her puppy dog eyes are even cutie than Honey-senpai, is that even possible?
"Ye-yeah, c-course." Hikaru said facing away and snatching the paper.
"Thank you." She said waving whilst skipping away. 'Ugh. I hate being girly, even my clients don't care how I act but with boys innocents always seems to work.'
"I'm thinking of opening her up to males, do you agree?" Kyoya asks the Twins with a grin plastered on his face.
"Yes, I want to see how she reacts, she'll probably go bright red from embarrassment." Hikaru snigers. Renge started shouting and ordering people around again. "But how did we go from changing our characters to creating a movie about them?" Hikaru asks.
"And how did she get an entire film crew here?" Haruhi asks.
"Apparently she flew them in from Hollywood. Don't you recognise the director?" Kyoya asks.
"Yeah, the directed the movie Veridical Snow." Adelynn said leaning over Kyoyas shoulder. He looks at her, she looks at him and smiles. Everyone new something was up with Adelynn, but no one mentioned it. She was acting rather. . . off? Her normal witty mood and no touching hadn't applied recently since the traditional Japanese day at the Host Club.
"And another thing, how come this stupid script portrays Karou as the pitcher." Hikaru complains hitting the papers and his brother complains.
"Pitcher?" Haruhi questions
"Your playing basket ball, not baseball." Adelynn said in a duh tone.
"If you don't know what it is, never mind." The twins say in unison. Tamaki runs over.
"Haruhi, so how was I?" Tamaki asks
"It was pretty awesome, I'm suprised that you were able to get into you character like that. You were really good." Haruhi compliments and handing Tamaki a towel.
"I've discovered a new darker side of myself, I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to embrace it."
"Are you sure about that? Because I think you fine just the way you are Senpai." Haruhi said, Tamaki stops drying his hair and blushes at Haruhis remark.
"Well, if you say so Haruhi." Tamaki said sounding like a high school girl talking to there crush. Adelynn walks over to Haruhi.
"Hey Haruhi, you're on!" Renge announces.
"Okay, coming!" Haruhi shouts back, Adelynn was curious to what Haruhi was doing so she followed, she hadn't read the script because she wanted it to be a surprise, something Adelynn hadn't had in a long time. They both turn the corner to see Renge with two men behind her.
"Over here, these two gentlemen have just agreed to be in our film." Renge said
"In your film?"
"What are you talking about?"
"For our role we're gonna need some tough guys for the climax." Renge said making fist with her hands. Renge carries on with her blabbering and Adelynn just gets more annoyed with her by the second.
"Wait a minute! Renge." Haruhi try's to stop her as she drags the boys around.
"Hey. You think you can push me around? You don't even know me!" One of the boys shouts pushing Renge, Adelynn quickly jumps behind Renge before she hits the equipment. Adelynn sits there crouched on the ground facing down.
"Are you alright Adelynn?!" Renge asks.
"That guy was right Renge. You can't do that, if you judge people by there appearance then your stereotyping, and you'll never see them for what's on the inside." Adelynn said not looking up.
"What? I don't understand?" Renge say the confused on what to do.
"What happened you guys?" Tamaki asks running around the corner. He sees Adelynn and snaps, on top of her is metals poles and dirt covering her body. Tamaki runs up to the boy and grabs his collar lifting up to his face.
"What do you think your doing?" Adelynn asks coldly looking at the floor.
"They-"
"Let. Him. Go!" Adelynn orders standing up.
"But-"
"Now! I gave you an order, not a question!" Adelynn demands looking at Tamaki as her ponytail falls over her shoulder. Adelynn try's lifting her head, but a surge of pain went through her head so she cluches it.
"Are you alright?" Tamaki asks running over to her.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Adelynn calmly said taking her hair down so it cascaded over her face.
"C-Carmerman! Tell me you got that!" Renge shouts.
"Yes sir!" The cameraman puts his thumb up.
"That was a perfect final scene." Renge said clutching her script. "All it needs now is a narration from my Kyoya-sama."
Then the sound of broken glass echoes outside.
"K-Kyoya-sama?" Renge stutters. Kyoya stands next to the camera with a rock cliched in his hand.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow there to be any records of any club member in violence. So Renge, please stop being such a pest."
"Why?" Renge asks as tear run down her cheeks. "Kyoya-sama, you suppose to tell me how well I've done and pat me on the head. Why? Why are you acting like this?" Renge falls in defeat.
Adelynn looks at her with a hint of sadness and does the unexpected.
"Don't you see." Adelynn scoffs. "You and your imagination are running wild." Adelynn said slowly making her way in between Kyoya and Renge. "That isn't Kyoya." Then she looks at her with a smile and holds her shoulder. "And it never shall be." And Renge falls to her knees and Adelynn holds her hand and lifts her chin up.
"More importantly, are you Okay?" Kyoya asks.
"I did what was needed."
"Your not answering my question, are you okay?" Kyoya asks again but more sternly this time.
"Im fine."
"Don't do that again, it was a stupid idea. You hurt so you should admit it. You shouldn't put your self in danger." Kyoya scolds.
"I will do what I know is right, and I'm not hurt and fine. My calculation were right. Everybody is fine." Adelynn said looking at him over her shoulder. She soon stands up and walks away, Leaving everyone behind.

'There changing me, or am I changing on my own. I just need to breath.'

||Mini Time Skip||

There was a knock at the door, and everyone watched to see who would enter. Adelynn, after the filming, went missing and didn't turn up to the Host Club and they had to cancel due to her absents. But instead of Adelynn, it was Suzume at the door with a bunch of books.
"Um, do you where Adelynn is?" Suzume asks hiding behind the pile of books. Tamaki quickly moves in.
"No Princess, but why are you holding so many books?" He asks taking some from her.
"Um, well, Adelynn asked me to give her some books so she can practice making foods for tea parties." Suzume blushes.
"For What?" Kyoya asks
"I don't know, might be for a friend." Suzume said
"Why would you say that?" Haruhi asks.
"Well, three weeks ago she asked for books about sushi because. . . it was about something to do with a friend she new would be. . . Blackmailed I think it was." Suzume informs. "And she always practices with me for two hours to make sure she's got the hand of it, so now instead of sushi its afternoon tea so I suppose it's for a friend."
"Then that mean Rose-chan making a picnic for someone." Honey giggles. All the host stood there shocked. Afternoon tea from Adelynn, like a date. Suzume soon leaves the books with the Host Club.
"Well My daughter is obviously making them for her Daddy, so we can have a father-daughter day." Tamaki said
"No, she'll probably be making them for Haruhi like last time." Hikaru said in a duh tone sending lightning through Tamaki.
"But dates are for someone you love, and Rose-chan knows Haru-chan a girl. So it can't be her, right?" Honey said
"Yeah." Mori agrees. Just then the door creaks open then it closes, standing in front of it, is a beautiful girl. She's wearing a white top and a light blue denim waist coat, light blue jeans and black wedges trainers. In other word this long haired beauty looks like she's just walked out from a magazine.
"Hello, are you lost? Would you like to join us?" The twins ask approaching her.
"Don't talk to such a beautiful flower, she deserves a prince." Tamaki said taking her hand and kissing it. "I'm Tamaki, and this is the Host Club." Tamaki introduces.
"Would you like to eat some cake with me?" Honey asks grabbing her arm and dragging her to a table.
"Mitsuki, don't be so ruff." Mori said. Haruhi walks over and places her hand on the girls shoulder.
"Don't worry, we just haven't done any hosting today. May I ask you name?" Haruhi said smiling with flowers spearing every were.
"Are you guys being serious?" The girl said.
"I think I've still got rain in my ear." Karou said hitting his head.
"Yeah, me too. I swear I just heard Adelynn." Hikaru joins his brother in hitting theirs heads.
"Um, you guys. Are you being serious?" Adelynn said sitting in the chair looking up at them all.
"What?!" They all shout.
"My daughter looks so beautiful." Tamaki screams picking her up and hugging her.
"Tamaki, personal space." Adelynn warns, staring at him.
"Why aren't you wearing your uniform Adelynn?" Haruhi asks.
"I got it dirty when that equipment fell on me." Adelynn shrugs.
"Yes. You skipped club activity so we had to cancel, you now owe us." Shadow King said closing his notebook.
"I think I'll manage." Adelynn sighs. "Has Suzume came yet?"
"Yeah, she came with the books." Haruhi points to them and Adelynn makes her way over to them.
"You clean up nice. You could be a model for are mum with a body like that." Hikaru said looking her up and down.
"We're did you get the clothes from?" Karou asks
"My locker." Adelynn grabs the books and putting them in her bag. She then stands there holding her head then sits in a chair.
"Um, Haruhi. Can you get me a drink?" Adelynn asks. Haruhi quickly goes to the kitchen.
"So Rose-chan, who are you having a date with?" Honey asks innocently. 'I know hes not as innocent as he looks. Just look at him, I bet he thinks I love one of them.' Adelynn looks down and twindles with her fingers not making eye contact with anyone has her cheeks grow red.
"So cute!" Tamaki shouts as him, the twins and honey rub all there cheeks together making Adelynn go more red.
"Stop touching me!" Adelynn shouts stomping away from them and sits there mumbling words to herself.
"Adelynn so cute when she's grumpy." Tamaki said fangirling. Haruhi comes back with a drink of water and hands it over to Adelynn.
"Thanks." Adelynn smiles taking it and smells it, then drops it on the table.
"Why did you put a paracetamol in it?" Adelynn asks
"Mori-senpai told me too." Haruhi said looking to him.
"Your head." He said pointing to his own.
"What do you mean?" Tamaki said walking up to her and moves her bangs from her forehead. And there across all of her forehead is a bandages.
"Daughter how did this happen?!" Tamaki shouts grabbing her head.
"When the poles fell on me, they hit my head." Adelynn looks away
"Why didn't you tell us Rose-chan?" Honey asked.
"I'm not a child. I don't need to be looked after, I'm fine by myself. I can manage. And with that I'll be going. Goodbye." Adelynn said getting up and picks up her bag and walks to the door and closes it.
"Something's wrong with her. And it's our job to make every girl happy, so find out why Adelynn is going through her rebellious faze." Tamaki spoke.

No getting attached, that's what your told. I had done plenty of guard jobs and undercover work but this is the first time I felt something different.

These just aren't people I can brush off.
