So, yeah…. Here goes

Ch 2

Kyouya Outori's glasses glimmered faintly as he stepped onto the stage in the semi-darkness. He knew that they had to win the talent show, so he had no qualms about performing. Behind him Haruhi stood, along with Hikaru and Kaoru (who had just finished their quick-change from pirates into their current outfits). All three of them wore long black pants with a thin silver design swirling up and around their legs to the knee. On the top, the twins wore identical tight black tank tops and a golden armband on their arms; Hikaru's on his right arm, Kaoru's on his left. Haruhi, however had on a baggy black T-shirt to hide the fact that she was a girl. Instead of armbands she had on a golden choker.

"Let's welcome Kyouya Outori, Haruhi Fujioka, and Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin from the Host Club!"

The crowd, already hyped up from the last performance, let fly a deafening roar of approval. Their hands, numbed from clapping for Tamaki, Hanni, and the twins, were pressed together in yet another round on applause.

The music began as a low rumble and Kyouya, The Shadow King, could feel the faint blue light as it illuminated him from above. He let a small smile creep onto his lips as he adjusted his glasses to reflect that cool gleam. It was time to start…"I never thought hyenas essential… They're crude and unspeakably plain… but maybe they're a glimmer of potential if allied to my vision and brain…" The icy glow faded away, giving way to bursts of red and orange blasting around the stage, accompanied by yet another scream from the crowd.

Kyouya rounded on the other three as they came to stand beside him, "I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthog's backside… but think as you are, pay attention! My words are a matter of pride." He turned back to the audience, shadow of a smirk on his face, earning a third round of cheers, "It's clear from your vacant expressions the lights are not all on upstairs… but we're talking kings and successions. Even YOU can't be caught unawares!" On the 'you' he spun toward Haruhi, who scampered off after only a moment of hesitation. She would become an actress yet, even though she was so bland about everything else. His attention again on the audience, he continued, "So prepare for a chance of a life time… be prepared for sensational news! A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer…"

Hikaru and Kaoru's arms fell about his shoulders as they stepped in, "And where do WE feature?"

The shadow king brushed them away, "Just listen to teacher… I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded, when at last I am given my dues! And injustice deliciously squared. Be prepared!"

"Yeah, be prepared!" Haruhi stepped forward, one hand on her hip, "We'll be prepared! … For what?"

"For the death of the king."

"What, is he sick?" Again, the twins flanked Kyouya, their voices in perfect sync.

"No fools, we're going to kill him." Another smirk lifted Kyouya's lips, "And Simba too." There was another scream of joy from the crowd, especially from the Shadow King's customers.

"Great idea! Who needs a king?"

"No king! No king! La la la la lala!!" Haruhi's voice joined in with Hikaru's and Kaoru's perfect sync with no trouble whatsoever.

"Idiots! There will be a king!"

"Hey, but you said…"

"-I- will be king!"

Kyouya turned from the screaming crowd. The other three stepped forward to sing as he slid around to the sidewall, leaning on it nonchalantly while they finished their verse, "Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected to take certain duties on board." He eased himself into a lazy stand, strolling across the stage, "The future is littered with prizes, and though I'm the main addressee… the point that I must emphasize is." On the other side of the trio, he spun again, "You wont get a sniff without me!"

The next few lines were lost in the sheer volume of squeals, screams, yells, and applause that followed the last line.

"Decades of denial is simply why I'll be king undisputed respected, saluted and seen for the wonder I am! Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared… Be prepared!!" At the last booming note the lights flashed out. Gales of laughter and applause from their customers, competition, and classmates alike followed them off the stage.

The four of them returned to their dressing room and Renge looked up from her job of touching up Hanni's outfit, "Hurry up and get changed. You need to run through your dance again."

Twin moans came from the doorway, even before Hikaru and Kaoru came in, "Do we have to? We just got done with two in a row"

"Besides" Kaoru's more feminine voice whined as the two flopped into their chairs, "The dance is the last thing in the show"

Fire blazed up in the otaku's (Otaku 'rabid fan girl' is the definition I'm going for. That is how Renge described in both the anime and manga anyway) eyes, casting waves of fear wherever they pointed, "Get… changed… now…" The dangerous tone in her voice forced the twins to their feet and toward their new costumes.

Quid pro quo: for those like me who had to look this up, it means a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something. (Something for something). Hm… I really hope I'm not the only one who didn't know this…
