Yoru's POV
___________

Oh my gosh Solo & Ensemble is tomorrow! Gah I'm so nervous >< I've memorized the whole song and even know how to play it on piano, but Mrs. Onaji will be my accompanist. Walking into the club room, I walk past Tamaki and he's humming 'Part of Your World' from The Little Mermaid. Yes, the dvd came in and I asked if they wanted to watch it with me. Hikaru obviously didn't, which meant Kaoru couldn't either, although he apologized after.

Surprisingly, all of them know some English, Mitsukuni and Takashi knowing it fluently. So~ We all watched it together and slept over at my place. After everyone was asleep, Kaoru apologized that he couldn't watch it with us, so we watched it together~ I was so happy.  Anyway, i'm getting off topic.

I go to the kitchen, tossing my bag on the counter and taking the stuff I baked yesterday out of their hiding places. (I don't want Mitsukuni coming in and eating them before the club.) I made the stuff yesterday so I didn't have to today.  Placing them on plates and things, I bring them out and serve them to the guests.

"Yo-Chan~!" Huni chirps, bouncing over to me as I'm heading back to the kitchen. He drags me into the kitchen and turns so he's facing me. "Did you figure out if you were doing Solo & Ensemble? I never got to ask you!"

Smiling, I set the empty plates in the sink and begin to wash them. "Yea I did.. it's tomorrow actually." 

"That's awesome Yo-Chan! Can Takashi and I come and watch you sing? Pretty please?" He begs, tugging on my arm.

"I-... I guess, but don't bring any of the other hosts okay? I don't want all of them to watch me." I tell him, ruffling his hair. He giggles and thanks me, hugging me around the waist before going back out into the Music Room to his guests.

Pulling myself up on the counter, I pull my bag towards me and pull out my drawing stuff. Hopefully this will calm my nerves.. I think, before starting to draw.

Timeskip (end of the club)

I'm putting the finishing touches on my sketch, playing music on my phone. Currently, 'Sound of Silence' is playing, and i'm humming softly. 

"Ru?" Looking up quickly, I see Yukio walking into the kitchen. "The club's over, Kyoya told me you were in here." 

"The club's already over?" I laugh quietly, i've been stuck in here the whole time.. whoops. "I should probably go say goodbye to them really quick then." I slip off of the counter, hastily pushing my drawing back into my bag. Walking towards the door, I absentmindedly grab Yukio's hand and walk out of the kitchen, dragging him with. 

"Hey what were you drawing~?" He questions, pulling my sketchbook out of my bag with his free hand, but before I can pull it away from him, Mitsukuni launches himself at me, making me let go of Yukio's hand to hold him up.

"Yo-Chan drew a picture? I wanna see, I wanna see!" He says, as I position him on my hip.

"No, Kio give it back." I whine, reaching for my notebook but he holds it above his head. 

"The dragon is really good, but you weren't working on this one." He flips through the pages until he comes to the one I was just working on it.

"Aww is this because you're doing Solo & Ensemble?" He asks, lowering the book to get a better look at it.  I snatch it from him, just for Mitsukuni to take it from me and hop out of my arms. 

"You're doing Solo & Ensemble Yoru?" Kyoya asks, looking up from his laptop.

"N-no-!"

"Yea, didn't she tell you? She has a solo for tomorrow at 4:15, room 210." Yukio informs him and I slowly turn my head to glare at him.

"I didn't want them to know!" I shout, going to slap him but he grabs my wrist.

 "You don't want your friends to watch you sing?" He asks, smirking slightly. "I'm going to watch you~" 

I huff loudly, noticing my drawing getting passed around. "Alright fine! You can all come.." 

Tamaki and Mitsukuni cheer as my notebook finally gets passed back to me. Closing it and hugging it to my chest, I glare once more at Yukio. "If you'll excuse me, I need to go and practice." Grabbing my bag, I walk out of the room, not making eye contact with any of them.

Getting home, Athena jumps up on me, making me smile. Going up to my room, I throw open my closet doors. I need to pick out an outfit for tomorrow. Feeling like wearing something black, I pull out all of my black dresses and lay them across my bed. 

After a good hour of changing my mind, and trying them on I pick out one that's off the shoulders and hugs my body, like a sheath dress. Deciding I can't wear my converse to this, I dig deep in my closet to find a pair of high heels that I haven't worn, like ever. Finally picking out a full outfit, I put the rest of my clothes away and then start to practice my song. I just hope I can at least get a 2nd for tomorrow.

Tomorrow XD

I woke up early, taking a shower and curling my hair. I've been fretting all morning, and it's only ten o clock. Putting on some sweats and packing the dress and shoes in my bag, I head downstairs. Yukio and Mitsukuni have been texting me all morning, comforting me/calming me down. 

"Where are you going?" Hikaru hisses at me, glaring.

"School, now leave me alone Hikaru." 

"I'm Kaoru!" He says, glaring more.

"I'm your sister, I can tell you apart Hikaru." And with that, I walk out. Solo & Ensemble has already started, but my performance isn't until later. Although i'm heading to school early so I can practice more. I take a limo there instead of walking, and thank the driver before stepping out and going into the school.

Going up the steps, I go to Music Room #3 and over to the piano. I sit down gingerly and pull out the sheet music. Playing the intro on piano, I sing quietly.

After a few hours (3:30) all of the hosts are in the Music Room with me (minus Hikaru and Kaoru.) I've stopped singing, I have since Yukio walked in. We're now just conversing with each other, most of them giving me words of confidence.

"Please tell me that's not what you're wearing for your performance Yoru." Kyoya says, pushing up his glasses and looking down at me. 

I laugh slightly, "No Kyo-Kun, I have clothes in my bag." 

"Well you should go change! It's already 4~" Yukio pushes me into the changing room that's in the Music Room (don't ask why XD) and he tosses my bag to me and closes the door. Rolling my eyes, I change into my sheath dress, pulling on the high heels and looking in the mirror. 

"Kio do you think I should put on makeup?" I ask, walking out, the heels clicking on the floor.

He turns to look at me and blushes, "N-no, y-you look beautiful without it Ru~" He says, rubbing his neck while he continues to look me up and down.

"Awe, thanks~" I give him a closed eyed smile. 

"My daughter looks so precious-" Tamaki goes to hug me but Yukio holds him back.

"You'll mess up her outfit, don't touch her!" 

Laughing, I walk to the doors. "I should head down there, room 210 right?" Yukio nods, letting go of a pouting Tamaki. We all head down to 210 and walk in. It's just a normal classroom, it's just that a piano has been added. Mrs. Onaji is already sitting down, she smiles to me. There's two judges sitting at a table, holding a piece of paper.

"Hitachiin, Yoru?" The female judge asks, looking above her wire-trimmed glasses. I step into the middle of the room as the hosts sit behind the judges. "You may begin."

"U-um, i'm doing Jealous Of The Angels, by Jenn Bostic." I smile timidly, and look over to Mrs. Onaji so she can begin to play.

3rd POV

Everyone waited patiently as the chorus teacher began to play a beautiful soft melody. The hosts leaned forward in their seats while Yukio sat there with a playful smile on his face as Yoru began to sing.

(vid at top)

"I didn't know today would be our last
Or that i'd have to say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb I can't feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just walk back through that door

And tell me that I was only dreamin'
You're not really gone as long as I believe

There will be another angel around the throne tonight
Your love lives on inside of me, and I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question, only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels around the throne tonight

You always made my troubles feel so small
You were always there to catch me when i'd fall
In a world where heroes come and go
Well God just took the only one I know

So i'll hold you as close as I can
Longing for the day when I see your face again
But until then

God must need another angel around the throne tonight
You love lives on inside of me and I will hold on tight
It's not my place to question, only god knows why
I'm just jealous of the angels around the throne tonight

Singing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I'm just jealous of the angels around the throne.. tonight." 

As she finishes, the hosts clap, most of them in awe. 

"You did wonderful Yoru!" Mrs. Onaji exclaims as the judges quiets the hosts.

"You did wonderfully my dear." The judge says, "You have a very beautiful voice." At this, Yoru begins to blush.

"If you were a little louder, it would have been perfect Miss Hitachiin." The other judge says, giving her a smile.

"Th-thank you.." She murmurs, her face a bright red color. 

Timeskip (they're back in the club room but Yukio's not there) Yoru's POV

I step out of the changing room, back in my comfy clothes. 

"You were amazing Yoru~!" Tamaki says, now taking this chance to hug me and twirl me around. "My daughter has such an amazing voice!"

"Tamaki-Senpai put her down!" Haruhi shouts, tugging him from me. 

"You were very good Yoru." Kyoya says, smiling slightly to me.

"Your voice is so pretty Yo-Chan~!" Mitsukuni sings, hugging me tightly, and I see Takashi nod in agreement.

Blushing brightly, I mutter 'thank you's and stuff, and then Yukio runs into the room.

"Ru you got a first!" He squeals like a girl, pushing Mitsukuni to the side and grabbing my hands, jumping up and down. I jump with him, laughing.

"R-really? I didn't think I did that good!" Smiling, I hug him. Noticing the hosts give me strange looks I let go quickly, blushing more. Mitsukuni hugs me again, congratulating me and giving Yukio a look. 

I can't believe I got a first! I can't wait to tell Kaoru later~!
