Ayaka paced the hallway just outside the classroom dozens of ideas running through her head, when something caught her attention. Kyoya just a ways off talking to Tamaki and another girl in the same year. She seemed affectionate toward Kyoya. Ayaka watched intently, as they finished their conversation and Kyoya placed a soft kiss upon the girl's hand. He didn't particularly look thrilled about it, but to Ayaka he seemed to keep his emotions well guarded. Tamaki and Kyoya walked her way, and Ayaka looked to the floor to avoid eye contact.

"What's wrong dear princess? Why do you look sad?" Tamaki asked taking Ayaka's hands. She flashed a brilliant smile at him.

"I'm sorry dear prince, My mind has been lost in deep thoughts since yesterday." Ayaka smiled turning his words around in a sense. She looked to Kyoya then her smile faltered for a moment.

"Tamaki, why don't you go ahead? I want to have a word with the princess." Kyoya said with a smile. Ayaka's heart skipped a beat. Tamaki excused himself graciously, leaving Kyoya alone with Ayaka.

"I can tell there is something on your mind. Please tell me what it is." Kyoya said with a slight smile. Ayaka looked up at him for a moment then back at her hands.

"Well, I was under the impression that you weren't seeing anyone. I don't feel its right that you were talking to me with such endearing tones yesterday. When I can see you already have a lady friend." Ayaka said still looking at her hands. Kyoya paused for a moment in thought. Then let out a chuckle.

"Do I detect a hint of jealousy, my pet?" He asked running a soft finger underneath her chin. He used it to tilt her head up to look at him.

"I wasn't jealous. Only concerned. I really don't want to stand in the way if you already have someone, and I most certainly am not into a group thing." Ayaka said looking away.

"Well then Miss Takahashi, I apologize if I had misled you in any way. I still hope we can be friends." Kyoya said quietly backing off and walking into the classroom. Ayaka counted to 10 slowly in her head to possibly help ease her anger to no avail. As an involuntary action she kicked the wall with her foot, a shooting pain traveling from her ankle to her knee, as she grabbed it and hopped around for a bit. When she finally recovered she spotted a girl in the year beneath her. Ayaka got an idea.

"Excuse me miss, but would you like to make some quick money?" Ayaka asked approaching her.

"It depends, What do I have to do?" The girl asked eying Ayaka suspiciously.

"Do you know Miyuki Ichinose? From class 2-b?" Ayaka asked looking around. The girl nodded twice.

"I want all the information you can get me on her and her relationship with Kyoya Ootori. I'll give you half now and half when you tell me everything you know or find out." The girl raised her eyebrows. Then took the offered money.

"I suppose this swears me to absolute secrecy. Can I ask why you want to know?" The girl asked pocketing the money.

"If you swear you won't tell." Ayaka said putting the other wad of money away.

"I swear I won't tell my sister." The girl said laughing. Ayaka's face fell.

"Your, her sister?" Ayaka practically choked out.

"Yes, My name is Arisa Ichinose. Pleasure to meet you." Arisa smiled happily.

"Well, I've developed a fondness for him you see.." Ayaka trailed off pulling out her sweet innocent look

"Well I don't particularly like the fact that Miyuki is with Kyoya. SO all I know is that they are dating. It's not official yet since Kyoya deals with the host club. They are planning on making it official after graduation. Kyoya doesn't seem to be interested in my sister in the least. He gets excited at the prospect of working with my father." Ayaka rolled her eyes. That sounds like the Kyoya shes heard so much about. She handed Arisa the other wad of money.

"If you can promise me that you will free my sister from what is sure to follow graduation then you should know that her weakest point, is that she isn't very bright." Arisa said pocketing the money. Ayaka smiled devilishly.

"Thank you so much." She said walking into the classroom as the final bell rung.


THE HOST CLUB IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

Ayaka thought long and hard about her request today as she approached the big doors. She opened them, and the host club greeted her happily. There were girls everywhere. Kyoya even had some requests among them was Miyuki. She then spotted her friend Kristen, an American exchange student. She was in the presence of Mori and Hunny. A regular of Mori's. Ayaka tapped her on the shoulder and they exclaimed happily before sitting down together. Ayaka got an idea. She brought mouth next to Kristen's ear.

"I've heard some scandalous news, about that girl with Kyoya-sama" Ayaka said quietly. Kristen's eyes widened. And she practically grabbed Ayaka's head.

"What news have you heard?" She whispered back. Ayaka laughed as Hunny fed Mori some cake. They were distracted for the moment so Ayaka pulled back to talk to Kristen freely.

"I heard that she's dating Kyoya. I also heard that she's got two others on the side." Ayaka said confidently. Kristen gasped.

"No! That is very scandalous, where on earth did you hear such a thing?" She asked looking toward the girl.

"A very very reliable source. I need your help with something if your not opposed to the idea." Ayaka said leaning in. Kristen did the same.

"I'm all ears. What do you have in mind." Kristen asked, her curiosity peaking.

"A whispering campaign." Ayaka smiled excitedly. Kristen thought about it for a moment.

"It's none of our business though. Won't that put our reputations at steak? Its too risky." Kristen said. Ayaka could tell she really didn't want to get involved.

"There is more I heard." Ayaka said slyly. Kristen perked.

"Tell me! What is it?" She asked taking Ayaka's hands.

"Lets just say I would keep Mori where you can see him." Ayaka said sitting back in her chair. Thats all Kristen needed to ignite the hells fire in her eyes.

"She wouldn't dare!" Kristen practically yelled catching everyone's attention.

"I think she would. Thats why I need your help." Ayaka said folding her arms. Kristen thought some more about it.

"Fine, Count me in." She said smiling. Ayaka smiled as well.

"Good now, run over there and tell the double mint twins." Ayaka asked pointing across the room slyly.

"Hikaru and Karou?" She asked thinking that Ayaka was pointing to them. Ayaka modified her point to another set of twins in the room.

"Oh , The Miyagi sisters." Kristen said getting up quickly. She turned back to the table to see Hunny staring at her with his cute innocent eyes.

"If Kyoya finds out about this. He would be very upset." Hunny said shoving cake in his mouth. Mori nodded. Ayaka paled.

"Please don't tell him. You have to understand its for his own good." Ayaka said quietly. Hunny shook his head.

"I think you should just tell Kyo-chan how you feel." Hunny said quietly. Mori nodded again.

"I can't do that." Ayaka said as Hunny slid her a piece of cake.

"Cake solves everything, have a piece with me! Aya-chan!" He exclaimed happily. Ayaka accepted the sweet treat.

"So why can't you tell Kyo-chan how you feel? Hunny asked.

"Because Kyo-chan wouldn't understand." Ayaka said sarcastically.

"Thats not true." Mori piped up. Ayaka looked at him with narrow eyes.

"I feel there is more behind that statement. Mori-sama." Ayaka said considering the facts.

"Kyo-chan doesn't actually want to be with Miki-chan." Hunny said softly. Mori nodded. Ayaka raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" She asked slight skepticism in her voice.

"Yeah, For being the smartest girl in Kyoya's grade, you sure are dumb." The twins said together appearing out of nowhere.

"Excuse me, doppelgangers, but what in the hell is that supposed to mean?" Ayaka asked glaring at the two.

"Maybe its because..." Hikaru started

"She doesn't hang around him all the time." Karou finished as they walked off.

"Kyoya actually likes you." Tamaki said appearing out of nowhere. Ayaka felt her anger level rising.

"Since when?" She asked incredulously.

"Last year." Hunny said happily.

"Usually we wouldn't tolerate your sneaky behavior towards miss Ichinose." Karou said taking one side of Ayaka's chair.

"But, your lucky that we don't particularly care for Miss Ichinose's relationship with Kyoya." Hikaru said taking the other side. Hunny smiled.

"So your sneaky secret is safe with us!" Hunny exclaimed with a smile. Mori nodded. Ayaka let out a deep breath as Kristen came back.

"Whats wrong with you, Ayaka? You look like someone bled you dry. You don't look so well do you want to go to the infirmary?" Kristen asked tilting her head to the side. Ayaka nodded. She really didn't feel too well. Too many thoughts running around like frightened chickens in her brain.
