Kyoya Ootori gave a glare that could easily surpass that of the walking blizzard to his computer, glasses shining brightly to hide the eyes of a very irritated Shadow King.

In separate corners of Music Room Three, the Host Club cowered while staring at the sight of what could make a commoner's blood chill. (With the exception of Mori, kneeling next to his charge, who decided if Honey got any more scared, they'd leave.)

Click.

Everyone winced at the sound. He was scrolling down.

A strangled sound came from Tamaki at the image on the computer, accompanied by large numbers with many zeros tacked onto the end with a yen symbol preceding it all.

The glow of the glasses just got brighter.

Every beep of the calculator Kyoya used just made the club higher strung. The Hitachiin twins looked terrified, gripping Haruhi's hands on each side, which was currently slack-jawed at the amount of money.

And she thought her debt was major.

Kyoya stood up, a black aura mixed with numbers radiating from him. A silence presumed over the club, interrupted only by the chatter of Tamaki's teeth.

"Is this what happens when I am not here?" A pause for a scribbling of numbers.

"Tamaki," a large gulp could be heard, "cosplaying is simply dressing up, not completely renovating the club room so it looks like a king's castle. And did Haruhi's tiara have to have one hundred percent real gold?"

Intimidation techniques were in full utilization.

"Honey-senpai," cue small whimper, "you ate ten cakes in one day. Chocolate cakes made in Germany, no less, forty thousand yen a piece."

Mori couldn't help feel sorry for Usa-chan. The poor rabbit's stomach was being squeezed so hard all of the stuffing was down in his feet, making them look swollen.

The aura darkened even more. "The king's castle cost over five hundred million yen, the cakes four hundred thousand. This means, we are currently in debt."

A gasp came from the entire club.

Haruhi's eyes boggled.

Twin waterfalls of tears ran down Tamaki's face.

"But... What about the profits made from the picture books and online auctions?"

"Be realistic. Those are enough to fund our normal activities, but sometimes that's a stretch. They can't support an overboard cosplaying event."

He opened a new black notebook, (which was entitled Debt Management) and flipped it to a few pages in.

"In order to keep the club open, we are going to have to find something to stimulate the budget."

Hikaru and Kaoru spoke up in unison. "But what could get us out of debt?"

A slight lightening of the atmosphere allowed the spread-out host club to breathe again. Gasps of air could be heard, especially from Tamaki.

"We've done it before, do you remember? It left us with enough money to pay for Honey's cakes for a month."

He flipped to another page. "But, we'd have to make a bit bigger in order to pull us completely out of debt. The funds we could possibly make would be huge when we release it to the public."

Kaoru started a sentence, to be finished by Hikaru. "Wait, you mean..."

"...That we'll be filming another movie?"

A loud "What?" could be heard from Haruhi.

"Yes, but we can't get enough with just the patrons of the club. It doesn't even come close. Allotting for the expenses of filming, which would be quite a sum, I think we should do this professionally with a movie crew and a few actors."

"Any idea as to who we should have as actors?"

"First of all, two men who have been listed as 'Japan's Most Gorgeous.' That would definitely give us some viewers." He paused, to leaf through some notes. "And those two would be Tsuruga Ren and Fuwa Sho."

The sound of a powerful motor could be heard, an annoying laugh, and Haruhi muttering, "Some music room..."

The room darkened, and a projector came up out of the floor. Immediately, two pictures came up of the aforementioned men, both with hair messy and eyes mysterious-looking.

A pointer landed on Sho's picture first. A slideshow started, with photos of him posing, mostly in leather.

"Fuwa Sho! Even his name lays a claim to his musicality! His smoldering eyes when in concert! His beautiful singing voice! Sho!"

A question mark appeared over everyone's heads, accompanied by a deeply confused 'huh...?'

"But..."

"Isn't he..."

"A musician?"

Kyoya pushed up his glasses. "Yes, and we would be giving him his debut in acting, therefore invigorating the interest further."

"Ah..."

Another question popped up.

"But what if he doesn't have acting talent?"

Instantly, a music video popped up on screen. It depicted a demon falling in love with an angel. However, the angel's best friend knew the consequences of the two falling love. If would kill them both.

"That's the Prisoner video, isn't it?" A silent nod from Kyoya confirmed it.

The angel's friend approached the demon, her wings facing the camera.

The angel put her hands around his neck, tears running down her face. The only feeling the demon conveyed was remorse, so much it was almost tear-jerking to watch.

The clip ended, and Tamaki was, actually, in tears. He began to sob, ranting about something incomprehensible along the lines of, "Such a sad story! The poor demon, being killed by the angel. Then the angel turning into a demon because she killed him to save her friend! I hope that never happens to my best friend."

The reddening eyes turned to Kyoya, who just glared, dark aura amplifying once more.

Tamaki went straight into his mushroom corner.

"Best friends... Rejected... Still protect..." could be heard.

An evil smile automatically went on an once again irritated Kyoya's face.

"Anyways, moving along the Japan's number one, Ren."

"REN! Drop dead gorgeous at all times, always punctual, princely character! Looks astonishing in high-class dress, has done several romance movies, currently single. His characters are always full of angst and just watching one movie would make want to eat six bowls of rice!"

"You know one hell of a bit about him."

Cue Medusa hair and chasing after one of the twins.

Kyoya, ignoring this, continued right along. "He is an exceptionally good actor. They say that he breathes life into his characters like no other."

Hikaru spoke up, being the twin who was not currently running around the top floor of the south building. "Sounds good, but don't we have a spot for another actor?"

"Actress, really."

Tamaki's ears perked up at this. His eyes sparkled in fantasyland like he was going to start a rant about helping Haruhi get in touch with her feminine side, but then Kyoya quickly picked up where he left off.

"Mogami Kyoko, a fairly new actress, but is claimed to be as good as Ren. She has great chemistry with both of our previous candidates, and is known for completely immersing herself in roles."

A panting Kaoru came back to his brother's side.

"She's plain." The blunt answer came from both at the same time.

A picture of Natsu came up. "Oh, I would think not."

"Sounds like a plan. When do we start?"


Haha, I can't wait to put Kyoko with the Hosts. And Sho's and Ren's reactions to it all=epic.

I originally didn't think of putting in Sho, but I thought it would make it that much better.

I have no idea what kind of movie to put them in, though. Suggestions, anyone?
