After Kyouya's declaration that Suzuki Sora was, in fact, female, they decided to move their conversation elsewhere, namely, the Suzuki Mansion. Suzuki Sora was now wearing a black tank top and denim shorts. Her hair was now down from a pony tail, stopping on her shoulders. Obviously the clothing wasn't able to hide her feminine features for long.

"It's simple, really. I don't like that frilly dress you people call a high school uniform, okay? So I asked the principal if it was okay to wear the boys' uniform…" Sora explained as she leaned on her arm propped on the armchair.

"Well, your chest seems to be enough proof that you're a girl but…" Hikaru and Kaoru continued analyzing the girl sitting in front of them.

"Your eyes aren't as big as Haruhi's so you look good as a guy or a girl…" the twins continued.

"But Sora-san is pretty tall even for a girl," Tamaki chirped in.

"Even if we know she's a girl, it still doesn't change the fact that she looks a lot like Ren-chan! It's almost as if she's Ren-chan's female counterpart!" Honey commented.

"I'm gonna let that comment about her chest side for now, but stop staring at my little sister!" Ren shouted at the twins peering at the newly-found girl.

"I'm only two minutes younger than you," Sora rolled her eyes.

"Eh?" Everyone save for the Suzuki twins and Kyouya had question marks o their faces.

"Well, it wouldn't be a surprise. The Suzuki siblings are twins, after all," Kyouya commented.

"EHH?!"

Hikaru and Kaoru seemed to be more interested than ever.

"That's cool, we've never met identical twins our age," Hikaru started.

"If Ren wasn't a bit taller than Sora, we wouldn't be able to tell you guys apart," Kaoru said. Kaoru and Hikaru alternated examining Sora and Ren, taking a few seconds longer on Sora for some reason (she's pretty now that they know she's a girl).

"You wouldn't have that trouble even if we were similar in all aspects. Sora skipped a grade so you'll rarely see us together in school," Ren remarked.

"What, is height the only way you tell us apart? You're saying I have the same beefy body like him?" Sora said, voice bland but clearly insulting.

Kyouya cleared his throat before they started arguing and forgetting the important matter at hand. Pushing his glasses up as soon as he got their attention, he began. "Now that we are aware of the situation, I suppose I need not remind you to keep silent about all this. While the school approved of Sora's cross-dressing, like Haruhi, she is-"

"Wait, WHAT?" the Suzuki twins shouted simultaneously. All heads turned to them. It was Ren who spoke up. "Fujioka-kun is… a girl?"

It had been two weeks since the Suzuki siblings became a part of the Host Club. Kyouya had reported that ever since the Suzuki twins joined their club, their profits had dramatically increased, and the Shadow King couldn't be happier. Today was a normal day. No over-the-top themes for now. Sora sat with her brother who smiled charmingly at the girls, much like how Tamaki does it. The girls would try passing the conversational ball to Sora who would catch it then drop it, and Ren would pick it up once more.

Kyouya analyzed that while Sora's indifference was her selling point, it might not take a while until they grow tired of not getting entertainment from the host. So he devised that the siblings go around as a pair like Hikaru and Kaoru, or Honey and Mori.

It wasn't quite maximizing resources to their full potential, but unless Sora agrees to act like a tsundere, there was nothing he could do. Or is there..?

"Sora-kun," Kyouya called out. Sora's gaze landed on him, staring coolly for awhile before deciding to stand up. Walking over, she raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Would you be willing to do something different in order to increase profitability?" Kyouya asked with his ever-so mysterious smile.

"Depends," she replied, not elaborating any further, her eyes and voice as apathetic as Mori's. Somehow a girl's voice from wherever caught their attention when she said, "I wonder if it's possible for host-in-pairs to be swapped."

Soon, host club hours had ended.

"Everyone!" Tamaki gathered the members who were cleaning up (though it was only Haruhi making significant progress) the room. "Mommy wants us to have a family meeting, and you know how mommy doesn't like waiting."

"Uh, 'mommy'?" Sora asked in a whisper to Kaoru who was beside her at the moment.

"Position-wise, Kyouya's the 'mommy' in this family."

A loud laugh rang throughout the Music Room, causing all heads to turn to Sora who was clutching on her stomach. "Hahahaha!" she continued laughing causing tears to form in her eyes. A sweat drop formed on Haruhi's head. Tamaki and Honey didn't really know what was so funny. The twins snickered as Sora continued giggling, trying to calm herself down. And Kyouya pushed his glasses up, his eyes hidden by the glare of the light on his glasses. And Suzuki Ren stood still, eyes wide as he watched his sister smile and laugh for the first time in almost 8 years.

Soon, her laughter died down and she let Kyouya speak. He cleared his throat and started. "As you have all noticed, everyone here, save for Haruhi, Tamaki and I, have been designated in pairs. I think we can make it interesting if we switched partners every time." He took out a board and wrote everyone's names.

"There are 9 of us in total, and if we all wish to pair up, there are 36 possible pairs." He wrote the equation to elaborate but all he got was a yawn from his audience. It was Sora who raised her hand. Apparently she was paying close attention and a little interest, much to his surprise.

"But this isn't exactly the best way to raise profits," she began. Standing next to the board, she took the marker and drew an 'X' over Tamaki's, Ren's, and Haruhi's names. "You mentioned earlier that there are a few of us who can pull off high designations alone, and I think those people are the ones whose names I crossed out."

"I don't remember mentioning Ren as part of the few who can do it alone," Kyouya remarked.

"I would like to point out that Ren qualifies as equally good as Tamaki-kun. Besides, since our family is just as powerful as yours if not more, so status doesn't matter here. And my brother's archetype might be more appealing to ladies than yours." Silence filled the room. Kyouya's glasses flashed for a while before his smile returned to his face.

"Then could you explain that even with a low status, Haruhi is more capable of hosting without a partner than you?" Kyouya asked calmly.

"Haruhi is considered a natural, after all. I'd think my performance is quite excellent given the face that I've only just begun hosting yet I've had higher designation rates than you." Sora gave her best rehearsed smile at him.

The rest of the host club had started to back away as the affianced pair had a glaring contest.

The next day, Kyouya arrived in the classroom a bit later than usual, but luckily he wasn't late. Tamaki immediately noticed the bags under Kyouya's eyes, and the dark aura he was emitting. He didn't get enough sleep. He walked over to his friend.

"Kyouya~ had a rough night?" Tamaki asked casually. Kyouya turned to him with what appears to the normal populace as a glare, but Tamaki still loves him.

"I barely had any sleep last night…" he explained, "and our servants alternately pestered me until I finally woke up…"

"You should forget about what Sora said," Tamaki said. "I'm sure she didn't mean it."

"What's there to be upset about?" the familiar monotonic voice said behind them. Tamaki turned and greeted Sora, while Kyouya didn't bother.

"I was simply stating the truth. But do forgive me if that upset you up to the point of no sleep, Kyouya-kun," Sora smirked at him. Kyouya managed to push himself up and face the girl.

Then he smiled. "Oh, you need not worry. Your comments barely affect me." He towered over her easily, even if she was only around two inches shorter than him. It was then when he noticed she had bags under her eyes too, cleverly hidden with makeup. His suspicions was further proved when she yawned. He smirked.

"Rough night?" he asked teasingly.

"Very. You should stop visiting my dreams, Kyouya-kun," she said with no emotion at all that he couldn't decipher if she was serious or not. He stared at her for a while. She noticed his unwavering gaze.

"Have you fallen for your wife-to-be, Kyouya-kun?"

"There is no merit in that," he simply replied, pushing his glasses up.

"On the contrary, falling for each other will make our marriage tolerable and effective," she pointed out.

"Are you implying that you wish to marry with romantic feelings involved?" he raised an eyebrow, more curious than mocking.

"I do not wish it, I just find the idea effective."
