Kyoya

I walked into the room at the precise second I was due to be there. My watch was not even a second out of time by my standards. As I walked in I greeted the other host club members with a simple curt nod before taking my seat at the meeting.

"Thank you all for coming at such short notice but Renge and I have discovered an issue that we believe needs some urgent attention." I kept my voice steady as usual as not to raise anyone into a panic, Tamaki in particular. I turned my attention to Renge who stood at the head of the table addressing all those in the room.

"It would seem that the number of girls attending the host club in the age range of 14-16 is steadily increasing..." She paused "However Kyoya and I have noticed in recent months that the number of girls in the older age bracket of 17-18 is almost plummeting." Her words made Tamaki's eyes go wide.

"I don't understand, we offer them the same thing..." He said looking confused and worried, instead of looking at Renge it looked as if he expected me to answer.

"I know, to be honest we don't know why this is happening...so Renge has employed some help from her friend Kimiko, she transferred to a school in Paris to run the host club there and their numbers are sound, in the older bracket, practically sky rocketing..." Tamaki blinked at me in confusion again.

"So...she is going to try and find out what the problem is?" Asked Kaoru, I could tell it was Kaoru, the pitch of his voice was slightly higher, though I never told them I could tell which twin was which, I thought it maybe best not to.

I pushed my glassed back up my nose before speaking again; "That is correct, she will be observing the club for as long as she needs before drawing up some conclusions and hopefully we can work from that."

Tamaki nodded before the meeting ended, I felt like the next few days would prove very interesting for all those involved.

The next day I felt more than uncomfortable with her gaze on me, usually it never bothers me but this girl seemed to look at me more than anyone else. Her bright piercing blue eyes were on me and it caused me to fidget, I couldn't believe I was losing my cool like this; but that smile she had...It was like she knew something I didn't and I always hated people like that.

Kimiko moved her beady eye onto the twins as they performed their usual romantic act for their adoring fans. I looked at her and back at them, trying to figure out what it was she was thinking. She tucked back her long jet black hair from her face before making notes on her clipboard. I gazed at her before I realised what I was doing and turned my attention back to my laptop in an instant.

"Kyoya Ootori?" I heard an unfamiliar voice, sure enough when I looked up from my laptop, Kimiko stood on the other side of the small wooden table.

"Pleasure to meet you Miss Yoshida" I said calmly and smiled; she gave a little smile and nodded before sitting down opposite me, I closed my laptop down and she leaned in a little.

"So, what are the main character types?" She asked.

"Well, there is Tamaki who plays the prince charming character..."

"So like a fairytale?" She cut me off and I nodded before I felt it was okay to carry on.

"The twins play the more devilish character; Honey-sempai is our boy Lolita with Mori- sempai acting as the strong silent type they act as a pair...and Haruhi is our newest member, we call him the natural " After scanning those in the room to whom I was referring to I turned back to her and she nodded.

"I see, and what about you?" I saw that question coming before she asked it.

"They refer to me as the cool type; more kind of aloof...smart..."

"You think you are smart?" She asked smiling

"Yes."

She smirked before standing out her seat.

"Excuse me I must ask Mr. Fujioka some questions." I nodded and she left, I furrowed my brow a little, I could tell the girl has something planned...I just had a very sneaking suspicion that whatever the plan was...I was going to hate it.

I sighed and stretched back in my chair. It had been a long day of crunching numbers for the host club and keeping an eye on Kimiko and I would have said being exhausted an understatement. Everyone had gone home and I was left alone in the club room. Seeing as no one was around to see me relax, I kicked off my shoes, took of my blazer, took off my tie and undid a couple of buttons of my shirt before leaning back as far as I could in my chair.

I was almost finished but I felt almost sick just looking at any more work, I ran my fingers through my hair messing up the neat style completely I looked back at the computer that glared back at me. I slammed down my laptop for the final time; I groaned as I turned away from it.

And then I did something that I rarely ever do outside of my bedroom, I took my glasses off.

I didn't have ridiculously bad vision, but no doubt it would get worse with age. I rubbed my eyes and took some deep breaths. I yearend to be at home in bed, I looked down at my watch and I knew I should be asleep right now.

After standing still for a moment I decided to give up on all the work, I looked down at the disarray of papers on my table sighing as my eyes lingered on that age range statistics.

"That's it"

I turned fast to see Kimiko standing about ten yards away.

"How long have you been watching me?" I asked with concerned tone in my voice, to which she giggled.

"Oh you are it!"

"I am what?" I asked.

"The reason the numbers are going down..."

"So I am the reason older girls don't come anymore?" I raised my voice a little.

"No, Kyoya...you are not causing the problem..." She wondered over to me and placed her hand on my chest before tracing the creases in the shirt, I made sure my breathing stayed level though on the inside I had no idea what to do, suddenly she ripped a few more buttons off revealing my bare chest she stared at it, and before I even knew it was happening she traced a single finger from my neck all the way down to the hem of my black trousers.

I looked down at her, I knew I could not lose face but I had never had a girl act like this around me before, it made me nervous as hell and I knew she knew... but her eyes were like daggers that bled into mine and she smiled "You are the solution."
