So I actually finished this a while back, but the file was corrupted for unknown reasons and I have to rewrite it. It took me a bit to muster up the energy to, because recently I haven't been the most motivated to write this. But here! Also, thank you for the reviews! It really helped to get me to come and write this chapter.

I've also kinda lost my Beta to college, so I this is kinda a blind upoad because I just really wanted to get a chapter out and it sucks knowing I have one for you and I just can't get it out because I don't have an editor. I need to find a new one and soon, so I can get these out to you in the way I want them to be. To be honest I think it'll be hard to replace this Beta, since she has always gone in the same direction as me and I don't know if I can find someone else like that. So sorry for the delay.

I do not own OHSHC

.oOo. Chapter Three .oOo.

The Ouran Fair was coming to an end, but the happiness it brought lingered within Kaoru. He sat at an empty table with a cheesy grin plastered on his face, watching the guests file out of the main ballroom one by one.

His feet ached from all the dancing, and he was just exhausted from all of today's events. He wondered what the club was going to be like from here on out. Honey-Senpai and Mori-Senpai will be going to Ouran University soon enough, and it seems Tamaki has finally realized his feelings for Haruhi, then again he might have considered this fatherly love again. Back to the good ol' standstill. Then again, that meant Hikaru still had a chance. Kaoru then wondered where his future lied. What would happen to him?

Kaoru's eyes shifted to where the shadow king was standing. He was saying goodbye to one of their clients, probably a business partner. After the girl and her parents walked out, Kyoya's eyes met Kaoru's. He smirked and started to walk over.

"Tired?" Kyoya asked him, taking a seat on the chair next to Kaoru's.

"Exhausted! Aren't you?"

"It was a long day," Kyoya nodded,

"Maybe this is just me, but I feel like today is the end of something, lnd now something new is about to start, but I can't tell what," Kaoru observed, he felt all too comfortable sharing such thoughts with Kyoya. This wasn't the first time, after all.

"I feel this too. As if today was the ending of chapter, and tomorrow will be the start of a new one." Kyoya chuckled. "And knowing the people we surround ourselves with, it'll be just as exciting and eventful as the last," Kyoya responded, his gaze falling on where Tamaki and Hikaru were bothering Haruhi.

Kaoru studied Kyoya's face. He really was handsome, and right now he could get a good look at his eyes. They were a dark gray color, Kaoru found this color so beautiful, it really did suite Kyoya. He felt like he could get lost in those eyes.

Wait, this is Kyoya he was thinking about. Kaoru shook his head, blushing madly. "Something wrong Kaoru?" Kyoya looked back to Kaoru.

"No, nothing. Just felt myself falling asleep."

.oOo. A Few Days Later .oOo.

It's almost as if the fair never happened. Everything seemed to just fall back into place. Tamaki and Hikaru seemed to always be fighting for Haruhi's attention, Kaoru joined his brother a few times, but he really didn't feel like playing with her anymore. His attention seemed to always bring itself to Kyoya now.

He found his eye's wonder to the shadow king whenever his attention wasn't on the brotherly love act. He wanted to know more about him, he wanted to stare into his eyes, he wanted...

No! Bad Kaoru! You're not aloud to like Kyoya! For one, he's a guy! And he's KYOYA. You know, the one who would ship you off to the Sahara Desert while you slept if you pissed him off. The one who probably doesn't even know how to romance! If he found out, I don't even know what would happen!

Kaoru knew he was exaggerating, but seriously, it's Kyoya, the shadow king. Would he even consider a guy, let alone Kaoru? He doubted it.

Yet he couldn't help it. He couldn't help but feel the way he did, no matter how helpless, or potentially dangerous.
