KYOUYA:
"Wear that putrid purple dress and ask Tamaki to dance at the winter festival?! Hell no!" Kyouya thought to himself, "I need to win!"
"Kyouya senpai?" Haruhi interrupted his musings, "Are you okay?"
The brunet faced the natural type, "Haruhi, how do you feel about a date?" he asked her seriously. The girl blinked at him in shock before looking around at the 3rd music room. She and the shadow king were the only ones who were in the room.
"A date? With you?" she asked him incredulously, "Did I do something wrong? Did I by any chance, manage to incur a debt again and this is your way of asking for payment?!"
"Let's not jump to conclusions, I was not asking you."
"Oh. Well then, why the question?"
"Are you doing anything this Saturday night?"
"Senpai, what is it that you want really? You're confusing me." Haruhi stated bluntly.
"Tamaki and I are invited to the opening of a new restaurant down town, I will not be able to attend."
"And this involves me because?"
"I want you to escort Tamaki."
"Iyada." The natural type immediately declined.
The brunet adjusted his glasses and unfolded his long legs, "Sou ka, alright then, I will tell Tamaki that he's going alone, he will probably feel out of place without me, you know how it is, he does not know a lot of people, and they tend to be wary of him because they know that he is only the illegitimate heir of the Suoh group of companies." He explained lengthily, making Haruhi fidget uncomfortably with each word.
"That's blackmail." She told him, "Fine, I'll go with him."
"Really, Haruhi, it's alright, I understand, Tamaki can be a handful at times, you don't need to concern yourself with my problem," Kyouya smiled at the brown eyed girl, his glasses glinting, "Anyway, I heard that Éclair is here in Japan, she might be able to--"
"I said I'd go. You can stop acting weird now."
The shadow king smirked, taking note of the sudden possessive look on Haruhi's face, "You're not really as immune to Tamaki as you like us to believe are you?"
"Are you sure? It might be an imposition on your part, you might have other plans this Saturday." He answered, manipulating the conversation to where he wants it to lead.
"I do have a date with the twins…" She answered,
Bingo.
Kyouya opened his notebook.
"The party starts at 8, will you be able to finish your 'date' with the twins by then?"
"Hai. I think it's an afternoon thing, they just want to hang out and probably annoy me."
"I see. Well then, I'll tell Tamaki that you will be his date, no need to bother yourself with what to wear, I'll send a dress to your apartment by Saturday afternoon, as for your hair, I think your father might be able to do something about it."
"Hai. How will I meet Tamaki senpai?"
"I'll have a limo to pick you up." He stood and made is way to the door, "I'll tell you more details tomorrow once I finalized the RSVP's. Goodbye."

Haruhi stared at the closed door of the 3rd music room. Still feeling cold from talking with the low blood pressure king.
"Really, why is everyone asking for dates?"
She gathered her things and went outside.
"Haruhi." a silent voice called her name. Mori senpai.
"Senpai, why are you still in school? Shouldn't you be with Huni senpai?"
"Kendo."
"Sou ka."
"Do you need a ride?" he offered, "It would be no trouble."
"Honto? Hai. Arigato, I'm a bit tired from all that happened today, Kaoru managed to persuade me to spend the day with them this weekend and Kyouya senpai…uh…"
Mori smiled, and then took her bag. "Kyouya blackmailed you?"
Haruhi glanced at his profile; he raised his eyebrow at her.
She smiled, "Senpai, I didn't think you had it in you." She told him, referring to the fact that he'd actually call Kyouya a blackmailer.
"I try." He looked amused.
The natural rookie giggled before stepping in inside the Morinozuka limo.
"What did Kyouya want?" he asked when they were both seated comfortably inside and the car started to make it's way through Haruhi's apartment area.
"For me to escort Tamaki senpai to an event this Saturday."
"Restaurant opening?"
"Hai. How did you know?"
"Invited."
"Nani?! Who else are invited?" she asked, suddenly feeling the urge to strangle the evil senpai. "Feel out of place my sorry butt!"
"Everyone."
"What?! Are you going?" she questioned, "Are they going?"
"I am not sure, Mitzukuni won't because of prior engagement, the twins probably will not because it is not their type of scene."
"Oh." Haruhi said, feeling sheepish, "Gomen senpai."
"You're here." The silent type stepped out of the car and helped her.
"Thank you for the ride senpai, I appreciate it. I hope to see you this Saturday." she smiled at him.
Mori smiled back.

"Will you stop calling my phone, leaving messages and harassing everyone in my house?" Kyouya shouted at the person on the other line.
"Okaasan!! How can you do this to me?! I thought we were going together?! The twins aren't coming! And Huni-senpai isn't going! That means Mori senpai won't be there also!" The blond king gave a dramatic little sob. "Mommy! I thought you were my date!"
The shadow king rolled his eyes in disgust. "Settle down, I found you a replacement."
"But I want you to come with me! Not someone else!"
"I see," Kyouya coughed slyly. "I'll just tell our daughter Haruhi that I changed my mind and decided to go."
"Ha-ha-haruhi?!"
"Hai, I'll call her now so hang up the phone." He smiled when he heard the blond idiot sputtered, "Goodnight Tamaki."
"Matte!!! Don't go yet! No! Haruhi?! My beloved daughter Haruhi?! She agreed to go with me in your behalf?!" The Host Club King spoke excitedly.
"You can say that."
"Oh my dearest daughter, such a sacrifice, all for her dearest daddy!" Tamaki said dramatically, "Kyouya, we must not allow our daughters' sacrifice to go into waste! Yes! I must escort her, for the sake of justice in this world."
"I have no idea what you are talking about, shall I cancel the date?" The shadow king asked, feeling tired from Tamaki's enthusiasm.
"Iie! As her father, it is my duty to introduce my only daughter to society; you must go with us Kyouya! Mother and daughter should never be parted."
"In case you forgot, the reason I asked her to fill in for me was because I cannot go."
"But mon ami!"
"No."
"Fine. But at least follow if you can!"
"We'll see. I'm hanging up now, talking to you for more than 5 minutes lessens my IQ."
"Do not worry my dear friend! You always get them back anyway, goodnight!"
"Hn."
"And Kyouya,"
"Hai?"
"Arigato." Tamaki said before hanging up.
"Don't waste it." Kyouya answered and smiled. "I have no intention of wearing that dress."
---
Ring.
"Moshi moshi." Kyouya answered his cell phone. He was about to sleep.
"Senpai, just thought I'd call and say that I can almost picture you in that dress. You look really pretty, I'll even do your make-up" Kaoru said evilly.
Kyouya smirked.
"Not a chance."

A/N: I guess the date is next.
