The Garden.

*Nods, turning more serious* "I've always been able to pinpoint things like that pretty accurately.." *Looks at her with an understanding look* "Who was stopping you?"

"My mother, like I said she expected my brother to leave because he was more like our father than either of us, but I didn't want to stay there, I want to come and she was furious, but I managed to come here, but I don't think she'll ever forgive me for leaving... it's weird I always knew and I always expected it, but never ever did I anticipate me disobeying her like that, if it wasn't for what happened to me and Daisuke I don't think my life would have ever changed at all for what I or my mother had in mind for my life"

*Stays silent for a second then his eyes soften* "Do you regret it? Do you regret anything that happened, or change it if you had the chance?" *Unsure if he himself could answer that question*

"The only thing that I regret is not asking him out sooner, and if anything to change part, if I did change it, I doubt I would be talking to you right now, so I would have to say No, sure my life has been... difficult, but not impossible to over come... there will be crying and sorrow more, but that's life's challenge for the human body. Then once you take the first step into wanting to recover from it, you wondered about all the different possibilities that could have happened and that you wished you could have changed, however realizing that those wishes would be even more difficult because you can't be at the place that you like now if it wasn't for the misfortunes that have already happened." *Sighs and smiles nervously* "Sorry I'm doing it again"

*Stares at her for a moment, taking each word and trying to memorize it* "Don't be sorry. Whenever you think about something like this or something happens. Please, please don't hesitate to tell me about it. You are one of the smartest girls I have ever met, you know that? One of the smartest people in general. Book smarts and street smarts matter, but life lessons like this are what makes a person who they are." *Smiles genuinely* "And I certainly like who you are Rei."

*blushes and blinks a few times* "You know you really are forward about stuff, I like that about you, it's not common, but it should be" *Smiles and narrows her eyes*

*Laughs, a happiness in his eyes that only seems to show when he is really anjoying talking to someone* "Thanks. It really should be. I don't see the point in holding back what I'm thinking because I tend to never really think anything bad about anyone unless they deserve it."

*Smiles and tilts her head to the side looking at him* "Why did you want to come to Ouran?"

*Blinks, a bit surprised from the sudden question, but then shrugs* "I didn't. In fact the only reason I'm here is because my parents made me come. I was actually completely against moving away from my hometown just for Ouran, but I didn't have a choice in the matter." *Glances at her with a raised eyebrow* "Why do you ask?"

*Smirks* "Hmm, just a question I suppose, not really the one I had in my mind, but it answers it none the less"

*Raises both eyebrows in a bit of surprise* "Oh? And what were you trying to find the answer to, if I may ask?"

"Let's see... to get away from it all, wanting to be on my own, or my personal fav I can't stand any of this anymore" *giggles* "Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun or anything, it's just that's the usual by standard for a lot of students, of course that and a lot of them not liking their parents at the moment. I guess I just figured an hypothesis without any researched conduct and... uhh never mind" *Looks at the sky and smiles sadly again*

*Can't help but snicker* "You're a very interesting person Rei. Hm, but my parents aren't like normal parents. Do you know what ice cream is?" *Raises an eyebrow at her, knowing it was a random question, but it helped him prove a point depending on her answer*

"What am I living in the stone age? of course I know what Ice cream is, but why do you ask anyway?" *Looks at him concerned like he just hit his head or something?*

*Laughs a bit at her expression* "I had no idea there was even such a thing as ice cream before yesterday." *shrugs and looks up at the sky* "Like I said, my parents aren't like regular parents. They boxed me out from the rest of the world so I would have to depend on them and go along with every single thing they said was right or wrong, liked or disliked, real or fantasy."

"Yet you wanted something more, somewhere to find yourself, but couldn't, not knowing if that was the right thing to do, or would kill the world that your parents worked so hard to create for you... or even not knowing your boundaries, or even ...sorry rambling" *Rei turns her head and loos at the ground*

*Smiles a bit, putting his hands behind his head* "Actually that isn't 100% true. I did find it. Somewhere I could find myself. If I hadn't found it, then we would be having a completely different conversation right now and you'd be talking to a completely different Kuro." *Glances at her from the corner of his eye, smiling a little wider* "I actually like your ramblings, they give me possibilities to ponder that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise."

"I'm surprised you can understand my technical talk most of the time I have to sum up my words in order for anyone to understand what I have to say, but I'm glad you are at Ouran, and I think I would be less confident with a different Kuro at Ouran in the first place, wouldn't you think?" *Smiles*

*Smirks and nods* "I certainly do." *Looks down at the ground and plucks a small daisy, spinning it around between two fingers* "Where did you find yourself?"

*Smiles* "Actually... believe it or not I'm still looking, I thought it was with Daisuke, but... so much has happened I don't think it is anymore. So I'm here in Japan trying to find out, also to have adventure, and romance if you can believe that" *Smiles nervously while sweat dropping*

*Laughs gently, still looking at the daisy* "Romance, adventure, and finding yourself. Surprsingly enough I think I've found 2 of those 3 right here at Ouran. Finding myself however..well that's back at home with a small girl named Etsuko. Though I did find out much about myself here as well, it all started with a friend." *Smiles*

"Etsuko? Is that your lover?" *Holding out pinky finger and giggles* "And that friend being who?"

*Laughs a bit loudly* "No. Etsuko is the first friend I ever had, though she does keep a large majority of my heart, she is not my lover. I don't exactly have one, so to speak.." *Blushes lightly, giving a sheepsih smile* "But, I do have someone I have taken quite a liking to here at Ouran, her name is Kimiko."

*Smiles and narrows her eyes a bit in a little disappointment* "So... does she like you?" *Smirks leaning closer*

*Blinks, pausing for a second* "I..don't know. Haven't exactly asked," *chuckles* "I've never had anyone like me before, I'm not sure how to know.."
