For any of you who are reading this and wondering why I haven't updated my DWJ fics, I will, as soon as I get over my writers block for that particular set of books. Back to this story now, I really have to stop drinking sugary drinks before bed, because I have dreams, and if I have dreams they usually end up something like this…

Prolouge

With the Spring Dance at Ouran fast approaching, the Host Club has a new contest – the one who gets Haruhi to come as their date wins a prize of their choice.

So let the games begin…

The Courting Game

Take 1: Tamaki

"Haruhi…" Tamaki said, sitting down beside her.

"Yes?" Haruhi replied, not looking up from her book.

"Did you know that my name, Suoh Tamaki, means 'One who becomes a king because he is destined to'?"

"You may have mentioned it…"

"And did you know that the name Haruhi means 'she who shall be his queen?'"

"No it doesn't, Senpai, it means spring day." Haruhi replied, turning the page. "Now go away, I'm trying to study."

Tamaki launched back into his corner and didn't come out for an hour.

Take 1: Tamaki – FAILED

Take 2: Takashi

Takashi walked towards Haruhi. Upon his shadow practically engulfing her, she looked up. He held out a bouquet of roses.

"They look as if they're about to die, Mori-senpai. Why don't you put them in some water?"

Take 2: Takashi – FAILED.

Take 3: Mitsukuni

"Haru-chan! Haru-chan!"

"What is it?"

"Will you eat cake with me? At the dance?"

Haruhi smiled at him. "Sorry, Hani-senpai, I don't like cake all that much."

Take 3: Mitsukuni – FAILED

Take 4: Kaoru

"Ne, Haruhi!"

"What is it, Kaoru?" Haruhi asked, sighing as she put down her book yet again.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

"Haven't we had this conversation before? And didn't I end up with Hikaru? No thank you. Now, I'm trying to study."

Take 4: Kaoru – FAILED

Take 5: Hikaru

"Haruhi, will you dance with me?"

"Now's not exactly a good time, Hikaru."

"No! I meant at the-"

"Would you please stop bothering me? I really have to revise for this test."

Take 5: Hikaru – FAILED

Take 6: Kyouya

"Haruhi."

"What?"

"Come to the Spring Dance as my partner and I'll cut your debt by a third."

"Done. Now can I please get some peace to study?"

Take 6: Kyouya – SUCCESS.

Epilogue

After this episode, Tamaki's corner had to widen to fit in the rest of the Host Club. Haruhi did go as Kyouya's date to the party, but she was her cousin Natsumi, something which lead the other members to believe that it was a good thing Tamaki hadn't won as he still hadn't completely grasped this concept.

Kyouya's chosen prize was that the rest of the Host Club were to be his slaves for the next week.

Three days later, Kyouya found some way to increase Haruhi's debt yet again. And so the cycle went on.

I can't say it's my best, but please review!
