Pencils:

Ootori Kyouya did not like pencils.

A pencil, had to be constantly resharpened, causing a quite commmotion of getting up and standing idly at the sharpener, wasting time that was better spent in his ledgers. A pencil, once reached to the perfected point, and then worn down, would never reach that point again. It was all in a sense of uniformity, for one, a pen would always stay as sharp as the day it was put into use. A pen, Kyouya concluded, was the ideal writing utensil. Whereas a pencil's rate of breakng was a high 56.7 percent, A pen could always be relied on not to break, unless it was defunctional, which if course would result in a lawsuit to the company.

A pencil, will always have an eraser. An eraser shows the weakness of making mistakes. Showing a weakness, especially of mistake making is outlawed in an Ootori's life, therefore, Kyouya uses his favorite ink, cold, black, mistake masking ink.

Now if Kyouya was one to dislike pencils, then why in the world was he standing in a commmoner drugstore at 12 in the morning, buying mechanical pencils?

Haruhi woke to a knock at her door. She rolled over to look at her alarm clock. The red numbers read 1:14 AM.

"Who in Kami-sama's name is at the door at this time?" Haruhi mumbled to herself. She rolled out of bed and made her way throught the darkened apartment. Haruhi opened the door cautiously, and looked to find:

A package of mechanical pencils, and a single purpe rose.

She smiled slightly, and took both packages in before the neighbors woke.

The Next Day

Haruhi walked in with a smile on her face, announcing to the twins that she had finally found a good replacement for her mechanical pencil that was so ungraciously sold by a "friend".

Smiling a little, she dropped a pen and a rose petal on Kyouya's table behind her back. She walked away to the storage room, to prepare the tea for her incoming customers.

Kyouya smiled to himself, pencils were a monstrosity to behold, but mechanical pencils, were quite a different scene.
