"I have a challenge for you."

Kyouya blinked.

"Excuse me?"

"We help Tono and Hikaru get Haruhi."

"Not that I am not interested, but what brought about this state of absurdity?"

Kaoru sat down on the chair in front of the shadow king. "Don't you ever get tired of watching those two with her? Waiting for this to blow up in our faces? Even More-senpai and Huni-senpai know how they feel. Funny how it is those who are involved who are unaware of their feelings."

"I admit, it's somewhat been strained these past few weeks. What kind of challenge were you suggesting?" Kyouya asked.

The red-head's eyes twinkled.

"We help them realize their feelings for Haruhi and get them together with her."

"We shouldn't play with Haruhi."

"No, I don't mean that, Haruhi will be Haruhi, it's not important who she chooses as long as she's happy, but I think that we should at least give them a chance with her. I love my brother, but the more he is in denial, the harder it will be for him to interact with her. In case you haven't noticed, he seems to be jealous of everything that involves our beloved natural rookie. Don't tell me Tono isn't the same. I know he's been whining about nothing but her. It must be killing you by now."

"While I don't mind helping Tamaki, we must bear the consequences of our actions, if they find out about this, the Host club would be disbanded before I can say the word 'merit'. Think about that first before we actually agree to this."

"Senpai, you know we can pull this off, remember, I am Hikaru's brother and you are the shadow king. It won't even be a problem. Shall we start with the rules?" he smirked.

"Hai." Kyouya readied his black notebook and pen. Kaoru spoke.

"No telling."

"No cheating."

"No blackmail."

"Ahem, no involvement of anyone other than the two of us."

"No hurting of anyone's feelings."

"No backstabbing."

"Play nice."

"I always play nice." The shadow king replied.

"Hmm.. I won't answer that… No using of connections."

"No sabotage."

"Wow. This is turning out to be exciting, you're making it hard for me senpai."

"Of course, you do know that I intend to win?" Kyouya smiled cordially.

"We will see, I have a few tricks up my sleeves."

"Ah. So you thought of this beforehand."

"Of course, I don't take on shadow kings without ammunition. I value my life well. Where would Hikaru be without me?" Kaoru lamented.

"I didn't know you can be…aggressive." The brunet said. Writing something down on another page of his notebook. The red-head gave a devilish smile.

"Neither did Hikaru."

"Is this all?"

Kaoru nodded. Kyouya closed his journal. Stared at him.

"What shall we do about the prize?"

"Let's set the parameters first." Said the shadow king.

"Whoever confesses first wins."

"And how are we supposed to know that?"

"It's our job to make it happen." The twin winked.

"I see. If I win, I want you and your brother to do more graphic brotherly love scenes. I have been checking our online website and girls request more flavor and moe coming from the two of you. They are getting bored with mere touching and flowery words. They ask for action."

"Are you aware that this is turning out to be a self-serving challenge?" The red-head asked hesitantly.

"Hai. I figured it doesn't matter, one of them will benefit anyway, I might as well kill two birds with one stone. The Club profits need increasing."

Kaoru waited for a moment.

"How graphic are we talking about?"

"Love bites. A little nudity. Forbidden touches."

"Are we trying to offend sensibilities here?!" Kaoru practically shouted. "What exactly are forbidden touches?!"

"Oh, I think you know exactly what I'm talking about." He smirked.

"You play hard. Alright, I think I can handle that. If I lose, I'll get Hikaru to do a love scene enough to make all our costumers die of blood loss. In fact, I'll make it even sweeter, if Tono gets a kiss from Haruhi, I'll have Renge publish every single detail of our 'moment'."

The shadow king took his calculator.

"Hmm..Profits will triple if that happens. Are you sure you know what you're getting into?"

"You only say that because you have no idea yet of what I want you to do." Kaoru said evilly. "You seem to forget that I am part of the devilish twins this club is famous for."

"Let's hear it."

A/N: I can't think of anything bad enough for Kyouya. Suggestions are more than welcome. In fact, I'll even beg for it. A friend got this idea from the Ouran Forum, I don't exactly know from who, if it's yours, just PM me, I'll gladly delete it or give you the credit that's rightfully yours.
