Well, this came to me after watching TV and the people in the show was playing a game like this. I changed the game around a bit and I think that the title of the story was what the name of the game was...but yeah, maybe one of you will recongnize the game and tell me what the name of it is, if I'm not correct.

Anyways, I wanted to see the hosts get really paranoid over each other, and what better way to do it than playing on a dark night at Haruhi's house after watching a scary movie?


Haruhi glances across the room at her friends. Some had pillows clutched tightly to their chests, others had their hand mid-air with popcorn wrapped in their fingers that never made it to their mouths, and others had no expression on their face at all.

This was the result of watching a scary movie together.

She looked back to the television to watch a girl getting her head sliced clean off with a machete. Haruhi wasn't scared even when Tamaki, the twins and Honey let out screams higher pitched than the girls who were being attacked on the television. She kept right on eating her popcorn.

"Takashi! I'm scared," Honey yelled, clutching onto the silent teenager for his life. Takashi only nodded and stood with the boy in his arm so that he could take him into the kitchen…just as someone in the movie walked straight into getting his left leg cut off.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

Takashi zoomed out of the living room- not that he was scared or anything- he was just really worried for his cousins' well being, of course.

Kyouya sighed as Tamaki's soul hovered above the blonde's body. Tamaki's eyes were rolled far into the back of his head so that you could only see the white background of his eyes while drool dipped down his chin. The spectacled boy grabbed Tamaki's soul and jammed it back into Tamaki's body.

The twins (who had claimed that they were the bravest of the hosts) held onto each other tightly, both their bodies shivering in fear of what would happen next on the screen.

By the time the movie ended and Haruhi flicked the lights back on, Tamaki was as white as chalk and (just when Haruhi had turned back on the lights) the twins posed as if they hadn't been snuggled up just two seconds ago: a picture of pure bravery. But Haruhi could see the sweat on their bodies and the tears in Kaoru's eyes and the way Hikaru shifted his eyes as if something was going to pop out and eat him.

She sighed and called Mori and Honey back into the room. Soon, they timidly snuck their heads around the corner and inched their way to their previous seats.

"I thought you guys said you wouldn't get scared," Haruhi teased.

"Scared? Ch, that was the worst movie we've ever seen." Hikaru muttered.

"Oh really?" Haruhi asked, and was about to say more when she noticed one of her friends missing. "Where's Kyouya-sempai?"

Everyone (except Tamaki, who was huddled in the fetal position) scanned the surrounding area for their raven-haired friend. Just when they were about to go looking for him, he walked into the room.

They stared at him.

He stared at them.

"Hey…" Haruhi said slowly, "When did you leave the room?"

Kyouya steadied his glasses on his nose and replied, "Just a bit before the ending of the movie."

"WHERE YOU SCARED TOO KYOUYA?!"

Suddenly, Tamaki was clutching Kyouya by his shoulders and shaking him. "That movie was one of the most frightening I have ever had the displeasure of seeing!"

"Let go of me, you idiot," Kyouya said, pushing Tamaki out of his way with a hand that covered the blonde's entire face. "That movie was a disgrace. The graphics and special effects couldn't have stood to be any worse than they already were. I walked out because I couldn't take the horrible quality of it any longer than that."

Pretty good liar Kyouya is, don't you think?

"Since no one was scared," the twins chorused, "We should play a little game."

"No! I won't allow Haruhi to participate in any more of your horrible games!" Tamaki yelled.

"But Milord, this is different," Kaoru reasoned.

"It has to do with everyone here testing their courage and wits," Hikaru explained.

"Except one person is the bad guy." They said in unison.

"Haruhi doesn't want to play such a-"

"Actually, I'm willing to play." Haruhi said slowly and sat Indian-style on the floor next to Hikaru. "I think I've played a game like this before."

"I'll play too!" Tamaki, suddenly with a change of mind, said. After him came Honey, then Takashi and hesitant Kyouya, who sat on the couch instead of the floor like the others.

"We found this on a website." Hikaru said as he and his brother worked on writing stuff on paper and cutting them up into strips. When that was done, they put the strips into a bowl (that Tamaki had cried about because it was chipped and offered to buy Haruhi many un-chipped bowls) and mixed them up inside.

"Okay, there's only one strip in there that says 'Killer' on it. Whoever gets the strip with that will obviously be the killer. Everyone else should get a strip that says 'Victim' on it. But the victims should all try their best not to get killed while also trying to figure out who Killer is. Understand?"

Everyone nodded at Hikaru and Kaoru went on to say, "Now, after we all pick our strips then we'll all go change into our pajamas- that will give Killer the chance to go get his…or her," he smirked at Haruhi, "weapon, which Hikaru and I have put safely in Haruhi's bathroom. It's small enough to tote around without anyone noticing that you have it but it's good at 'getting the job done.' When everyone finishes changing clothes then it's the Killer's chance to start getting people. But be wise- you only win the game if you kill all Victims without anyone finding out that you're Killer."

Everyone pulled their strips, eyed their opposites and stood to go to Haruhi's room.

I can tell you one thing, and that is that Haruhi is not Killer. She waited patiently as one after another, her friends went to the bathroom to change clothes…or…retrieve the weapon. So when Kaoru came back into the room she went to the bathroom and quickly changed clothes.

It seemed that the twins had hidden the weapon really well or that someone had already taken it. So far, Hikaru, Kaoru and Kyouya had already been in the bathroom and out. If she didn't find the weapon then she could quickly narrow it down to one of them being Killer, for that meant that one of them had the weapon.

If she did find the weapon in its hiding spot then it would mean that Honey, Takashi or Tamaki was Killer, for they were the only ones who had yet to change clothes. After awhile of thorough searching, she still didn't find the weapon, so she knew that the culprits had to be one o the twins or- she gulped- the Shadow King.

When she came back into the room, everyone was eyeing her suspiciously.

"You sure did take a long time in the bathroom," Kaoru commented.

Haruhi glared at him, "So did you."

"But you took longer," the twins said, and Honey bounded off to the bathroom.

Tamaki looked one way and another and said nervously, "W-what if the killer is already here? Couldn't he just kill all of us right now?"

Silence.

"How do we know…," Hikaru said slowly, golden eyes narrowing, "That you're not just saying that because- because that's exactly what your plan is?!"

"What? No, no! I'm not Killer," Tamaki said, flailing dramatically.

Kyouya chuckled, and the world was sent into uproar.

"What was that chuckle about?!" the twins and Tamaki yelled, "You're Killer, aren't you?!"

"I refuse to respond to that." Kyouya said coolly.

"Kyouya! How could you betray me like this," Tamaki asked as he fell miserably to the floor.

"Ne, Kaoru…Haruhi and Takashi sure are quiet. Who's to say that one of them isn't Killer?"

"You're right Hikaru. They'd both be really good killers."

"NOOOOOO!" Tamaki wailed, shielding himself from Takashi and Haruhi with his arms.

The twins burst out laughing just as Honey came back into the room. "All done!" he chirped, and everyone, even Takashi, gave him suspicious eyes. "Takashi, it's your turn."

"Ah," Takashi agreed and walked out the room, his night clothes in hand.

"Honey-sempai…took so long," Kaoru whispered.

"Hontou?" I don't think so," Honey said, swinging his legs back and forth on when he was seated on Haruhi's bed.

"You know we could just attack you and see if you have the weapon." Hikaru said and Tamaki's ears perked up much like a puppy's.

"You could," Honey agreed with a short nod. Then suddenly a dark look came into his eyes and he didn't appear to be the loli-shota cute boy anymore. He appeared to be the same Honey one sees when you wake him up from his slumber. "But I suggest you don't."

Everyone in the room took three steps away from the small teenager.

"Heh…he's right." Haruhi agreed. Then she looked towards the twins and put a finger to her chin, "You know, I don't think you two should hang out with each other much during this game. Who knows? One of you could be Killer."

Hikaru and Kaoru froze simultaneously, looked at each other, and then back at Haruhi.

"Unless, that is, you already shared your status with each other. But who's to say that you wouldn't lie to each other, just this once? Just for the sake of being Game King, right?"

"Hikaru and I wouldn't lie," Kaoru said and shrugged. "If Hikaru is Killer then I'd be the last one to be his victim, ne, Hikaru?"

Hikaru didn't answer.

He was too busy staring at Kaoru.

"Eh? Hikaru, what's wrong?"

Hikaru pointed a wry finger to his brother, his eyes wide. "I…I can't trust you in this game. You…you could be Killer."

Haruhi smirked. Kaoru threw a fit.

"Well I can't trust you either Hikaru! You probably rigged the game so that you could be Killer and get some sick, twisted joy out of killing off your friends!"

"You probably just told us all your plans and used reverse-psychiatry on us all at the same time!" Hikaru yelled.

During that rather loud situation, Takashi came back and Kyouya went to change.

They all knew that when Kyouya came back, the game would officially begin. No one knew who Killer was, but they knew that they could hardly trust anybody.

Let the games begin.

Well, this is probably going to get up to at the most, five chapters. I'm still working on my other story so this is just when I have some available time. If many people review then I'll try to update faster. Till next time, ja ne!
