Everybody's Fool

He breathed deeply. Another day had officially begun. His alarm clock ran wildly in his nightstand as he blindly reached for it, banged his hand against it, trying to make it stop before he got even more annoyed. Sleep seemed to come and go too soon, he wished he could run from reality just a tad more.

How he did to manage to get to school looking respectable he can barely remember, the fogginess of having just woken up blurring his mind and erasing his memories. The school is half full as the students talk about what they did on the weekend, how much they spent, or how horrible someone or something was.

Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence

He stands under a tree in front of the main gate as he watches everyone. How amazing they all look, the girls seemed to be made to make school's life less dull. Looking at them and knowing their grades ou almost believe that most of them will become someone big. Truth was most of them came from conservative japanese families like his sister, and shared the same fate she did.

They were all pretending. Pretending to be perfect because that was what they had to do so they could eventually get married and go on their father's steps, assuming the companies, builting more powerful empires. All of this, all of what they are now will disappear. Not even Haruhi saw their masks…she could be smart but not that smart. Because she knows…she is wearing one as well.

Just what we all need
More lies about a world that

She pretends to be a boy, pretends to not like Tamaki when she truly does, pretends to not see that Tamaki and Hikaru are both falling in love with her. But of course she knows the truth, after all it is too obvious for such a wise and perfect commoner to miss it.

Of course she ignores it. It is much easier to ignore something that can become a bother than to actually do something about it.

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled

He has an image for himself as well - the cold, calculating, extremely greedy Kyoya Ootori. No one ever doubted his made up personality, no one ever cared too much to actually try to know him. Except Tamaki…not that it matters anymore since he is too far gone for Haruhi. Just like everybody else.

Not even Tamaki can see Kyoya anymore. It hurts to know this but it is the truth. He stopped seeing Kyoya so he could see Haruhi...and now Kyoya is alone again.

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you

They arrived together, his dashing smile and innocent blue eyes directed towards her irritated expression and hidden gaze. All the girls in the school seemed to turn to her –obviously buying that she is actually a he – and give her a goofy smile. How many hearts would be broken if they ever found out Haruhi's true identity? He could barely count.

No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she

They both walk up to him, slightly happy to see the brunette and smile. But no day at Ouran can go by without Tamaki's whining.

"Mommyyy! Those devilish twins are following us again! They not even let me have a father-daughter moment with my precious daughter!" He says and puts his hands on Haruhi's shoulders. She sighs and shakes her head.

Kyoya looks around to try to find the twins and he easily does so. They are following Tamaki, malicious smiles on their faces. Kaoru just wants to piss Tamaki off; Hikaru is looking for an excuse to be with Haruhi. And the cycle goes on.

"I could not possibly care less Daddy." I said and took my notebook out of nowhere to write down some notes about their behavior, Tamaki goes to his corner of woe, only to start fighting with Hikaru and Kaoru right afterwards.

The King and the devilish twins fight a lot – now being an example. And between one fight and another he catches a glimpse of Haruhi. She often observes them too, so eventually she can meddle like she always does. Is she really unaware of the fact that they are fighting for her? Can't she see how much Tamaki loves her? Does she even care?

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Not like Kyoya can think too much about it. He is too busy trying his best to protect the young King's heart…but it is not being of much use or utility. Tamaki has been blinded by Haruhi and her faked innocence. Yes faked. C'mon, let's face it ever since she arrived on the Host Club she had done nothing but meddled. Showed how incredibly wise she is, how she can see between the lines.

If she is all that and can see behind their masks than how come won't she do anything about him? She is faking, her wisdom, her knowledge. She is no better than any other commoner.

If she truly knew anything about them then she would not meddle, she would try to keep things as they are. Kyoya often wonders what she really wants from them. If she was oh-so wise she would keep her thoughts to herself...but she doesn't, she says whatever pops into her mind and uses her innocence as a disguise.

Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lies

But he is in no position to judge her either. He says he is Tamaki's friend because of his wealth. Everyone knows that is a big, fat lie. He loves and always will love Tamaki…in more than a "friendly" way, he supposed. It took him so long to find that out that by the time he did the short commoner girl had already appeared into the picture.

He wished he had seen it sooner, maybe if he had he could have done something before itwas too late. Though he knows now that if he had ever done something before it would only serve as an illusion. Eventually Haruhi would appear in their lives and Tamaki would leave him...for her. This certainty kills him.

The twins and Tamaki continued fighting until the bell rang, Kyoya just observed. The girl beside him did that as well…thinking and probably hoping she was not being observed too. They were so lost inside themselves that they barely realized everything going on around them. Maybe that is why Haruhi has such a hard time realizing her own feelings for the blonde.

Maybe that is why Tamaki will never realize Kyoya's love for him.

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

Classes were long and boring, the free time between them were even worse. Tamaki kept rambling about the amazing and beautiful daughter. All Kyoya heard was "Blah blah blah daughter, blah blah blah dresses.".

He closed his eyes for an instant, driving his mind away from there, from that moment, trying to "find a happy place". Thanks to that classes went by a bit quicker than usual and soon it was Host Club time.

The Host Club began and the fangirls happily watched their designated hosts for the day. If anything was ridiculous and forged that was the Host Club. Yes Tamaki loves all women…but the King he is on the Club is not the real Tamaki. The twins don't have mutual feelings for each other and Haruhi hates being a host. He knows this and yet he tries so hard to keep everything in place.

People often wonder what is written on Kyoya's notebook. If they read the Host Club would be doomed to failure; for they would know all of their secrets and nothing would remain the same.

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Today they were planning on giving the girls a couple of presents since it is the International Women's Day. The small necklaces and bracelets made of the finest crystal shone on their necks and wrists.

"But nothing shines more than the sparkle in your eyes milady." Tamaki said and took the girl in his arms preventing her from fainting. They all squealed in delight and begged for him to say the same to each one of them. He shook his head…these girls are easily pleased…and fooled.

He turned around and observed the twins act - the second most famous and most lucrative act on the Host Club. Notebook on hand he heard them talk.

"Oh Kaoru…no crystal can match the image of your beautiful skin glistening on the moonlight after what we did yesterday…" Hikaru said, pulling the younger one to his arms, wrapping one possessive arm around his twin's waist. Kaoru looked away and batted his lashes, cheeks reddening faking the embarassement.

"You always say these things in front of everyone Hikaru…" Small teardrops form on the corner of his eyes. Hikaru puts a hand on Kaoru's chin and turn his head so they can stare into each other's eyes.

"I just can't help myself Kaoru…you are so beautiful." He said dramatically running a hand on the other red head's cheek.

"Hikaru…" He sighed/whispered and all girls squealed again. Kyoya's glasses got hit by sunlight, hiding his eyes, hiding his disgusted expression at the scene. If only these girls knew how the twins are separating. If only they knew how many times Kyoya had to drive Kaoru to his house because Hikaru had simply forgotten him.

He sighed and took some notes. Amazing how these girls actually bought their "selling points". Didn't they have anything better to do? Didn't he?

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Kyoya walked passed the main gates of Ouran. Host Club was over and everyone was going home. Hikaru and Tamaki were fighting over again, discussing who would take Haruhi home. Mori and Honey made their way to their limousine and Kaoru said he did walk home today. Not like Hikaru listened.

He caught a quick look Kaoru gave his brother. It was full of sorrow and pain. But soon Kaoru caught his own eyes, quickly trying to hide his pain though he knows it is useless. Kyoya follows him, it is their small ritual. Kaoru lies, saying he will walk home, Kyoya follows him and a block away they both enter the Ootori limousine and Kaoru is driven home by Kyoya.

Not like Hikaru will ever know this.

Kyoya watched Kaoru spacing out, remembers Tamaki and Hikaru's fight over Haruhi and felt as if he was living in an alternative universe. Things had changed so fast and yet he is taking so long to see everything that did change. None of them are the same anymore.

Kaoru is quiet, unlike himself; Hikaru is opening up to the world – so like the old Kaoru; Tamaki is blindly in love leaving his best friend behind, a selfish act for such a devoted King. Haruhi is a mistery that he is yet to kow. What happened to them?

Suddenly he feels out of place…he doesn't know and never did know any of them at all.
