Chapter 4: The Host Club ball and Kyoya's confession Part One.

I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut. And my weakness is that I care too much. And our scars remind us, that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel.

When the rest of the Host club gets to the room, Yuzuki is fuming. "Something wrong, Yuzu-chan?" Haruhi asks. Yuzuki glares at Kyoya, then replies; "No, Haru-chan… Nothing's wrong." Tamaki hugs her, "My daughter starts her first day of hosting!!" Yuzuki is too pissed off to push him away. 'That no-good, ass-holish, hell-bringing Jerk!!'Yuzuki mentally yells. About 10 minutes later, the costumers arrive, even some boys. "Today, we welcome a new member of the Host Club! Everyone, this is Kurobara Yuzuki-hime," Kyoya says, moving aside to show Yuzuki. She smiles and greets, "Welcome! It's nice to meet you!" "For her first day, any session with her is free… A 'Trial run' for lack of a better explanation," Kyoya explains. Everyone gets all set and a few girls sit with Yuzuki. "So, what do you girls want to talk about?" She asks. "Um, how do you get your hair so shiny and straight?" One of the shy girls asks. "Oh, well I use a special shampoo for that," Yuzuki answers, "If you want, I can find out where it's sold and you can get one also!" The girl nods, "Really? Thank you!" Another girl asks, "Well… I'm having a bit of boy trouble… There's this one I really like and… Well, he doesn't seem to either notice or really care…" Yuzuki thinks for a second and replies, "Well, if you can't tell him face to face then try to learn more about him… Maybe learn what he likes or dislikes and see if you really like him like that. Then, once you feel more comfortable around him, you'll be able to tell him how you truly feel." The girl smiles, "Thank you! You're so helpful, Kurobara-san!" Yuzuki smiles, "No need to thank me! Oh, and just call me, Yuzuki-chan, OK?" The session ends and this time, three boys come to her table. "Hello, gentlemen! It's a pleasure to meet you!" She smiles and the boys blush lightly. One of them takes her hand and kisses it, "I believe the pleasure is all mine, Kurobara-hime." Yuzuki smiles and asks, "And what is your name?" The guy smiles and replies, "My name is Ryoga Hideki, second year, class-A. It's nice to meet you." 'This guy is cute… but I got a bad feeling about this…'Yuzuki thinks to herself.

-------Break Time. ----------

Yuzuki sighs as she takes a sip of her favorite soda. "So, how was your first day?" Haruhi asks. "You make this look so easy, Haru-chan." Yuzuki says. "You get used to it after a little while…" Haruhi says. Someone taps Yuzuki on her shoulder. She turns around to see Hideki, "Oh, hello Ryoga-sampai." He smiles kindly and asks, "Kurobara-hime… It would be an honor if you would accompany me to the Host Club ball." Yuzuki opens her mouth to answer but Kyoya stands in front of her, "I'm sorry, but Kurobara-san is going with someone else to the ball." Yuzuki takes Kyoya by the wrist and drags him to the changing room. (The one where Tamaki found out that Haruhi is a girl.) She closes the curtains and whispers, furiously, "What in the hell do you think you're DOING?!" Kyoya smirks and walks closer to her, "What? It is true… you're going to go with me to the Host Club ball." "Why would I ever go with you?!" Yuzuki demands. "Do I need to bring up Haruhi's debt again?" She growls at him, "Why do you want to take meanyway!?" He smirks, "Because… You're an interesting young lady…" "Is this some kind of game to you?!" She yells. "… In a manner of speaking, yes… Let's see which one of us caves in to the other first." She walks out of the room, "Forget this!" She walks back to the table and Hideki bows a little, "Forgive me, Yuzuki-san … I didn't know that you and Kyoya-san were together…" She looks at him, then at Kyoya, "Don't worry; we aren't together in any shape, way or form…" Hideki brightens up, "So then, you accept my invitation to the ball?" Yuzuki nods, "Yes, Thank you for asking, Ryoga-sampai!" Kyoya sighs and thinks, "So… You want to play a little hard-ball, huh? I hope you know… I don't lose."Yuzuki looks at Kyoya and thinks, 'I never give up until I get what I want… Let the games…" "Begin." Haruhi shivers, "Did anyone else feel that cold chill just now?"

The next morning, Yuzuki and Haruhi walk to school as usual. Hideki's waiting for Yuzuki at the front of the school, He smiles brightly, "Good morning, Kurobara-hime!" Haruhi mutters to Yuzuki, "Why in the hell is he following you?" Yuzuki shrugs, "Beats me... But I think he can be of some use to me..." Haruhi sighs, "You're just as evil as Kyoya-sampai." Yuzuki grins, "Its all part of the game, Haru-chan! I don't care who gets hurt in the process... As long as I win, it's all OK!" Haruhi stares at her, "... You're really twisted." Hideki smiles, obviously not hearing Yuzuki's little plot, "So... Can I walk you to your class, Kurobara-hime?" She smiles and nods, "Thank you! I really appreciate it, Ryoga-sampai!" The Otori family limo drives up to the entrance and Kyoya steps out, seeing Yuzuki and Ryoga together. He smirks as he sees her flash an evil smile behind Ryoga's back, "Hm... 1 score for you..."Through-out the day, Yuzuki goes on normally and after classes are finished, she goes to the music room only to find out that meetings have been cancelled until AFTER the Host Club Ball. "... ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!" She yells at Kyoya. "Would you ever think I was joking, Kurobara-san?" He says, not looking up from his notebook. She growls at him, "I hate you..." He smirks, "I can live with that..." Hunny jumps on Yuzuki's back, "Yuzu-chan! You should practice dancing for the ball!" "W-With who, Hunny-sampai?" She asks, helping him down. "How about Takashi? I'm sure he'd be willing to help!" Hunny suggests and runs to Mori, "Takashi! Yuzu-chan needs help dancing! Can you do it?" Mori nods and takes Yuzuki by the hand and gets into the lead position. "You don't have to do this, Mori-sampai." She says. He says, "I know." The music starts and they slowly start to dance. She steps on his foot, "Oh! I'm sorry! It's just been a while since I danced like this." He nods, not saying a word. The song ends with only a few other incidents. She bows at the end, "Thank you... Mori-sampai." He nods, "Don't mention it." She smiles and walks away. Hunny calls after her, "Yuzu-chan!" She turns around, "Yes, Hunny-sampai?" He runs up to her and whispers, "Takashi wants to know if you can save a dance for him at the Host Club ball." Yuzuki smiles and nods, "Tell him I said, OK." Hunny nods and runs back to Mori, shouting, "SHE SAID YES, TAKASHI!" She smiles, Haruhi sidling up to her, "So... It looks like Mori-sampai has taken a liking to you..." "You think?" Yuzuki asks, tilting her head, "It could be nothing... He probably just wants to be nice." "Maybe…" Haruhi says.

-----Skipping to the next week, the day of the ball. -----

Yuzuki gets to the ballroom early with the rest of the Host club. "Wow, Yuzu-chan! You look great!" Hunny says, happily. She looks down at her dress; it's a simple white dress with some sakura patterns on it. "Thanks, Hunny-sampai!" She says, hugging him. "Even we gotta admit, you look great, Yuzuki!" The twins say, giving her the thumbs-up sign. Yuzuki hugs them both, "That must be the kindest thing you both have ever said to me!" "Which is kinda sad if you think about it…?" Haruhi mutters. "You look great too, Haru-chan!" Tamaki hugs her, "My daughter looks so adorable!!" She sighs and lets him hug her just this once. After everyone has arrived, the club all stands on the staircase and Tamaki welcomes all of the guys and girls to the annual Host Club Ball. "Now, when the night is over, one young lady will be the lucky one to get a kiss from the Host Club king, Tamaki… and any lucky young man will get a kiss from our lovely lady, Yuzuki." Kyoya announces to the crowd. '… WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?!'Yuzuki thinks. The crowd cheers as the music starts and couples start to dance. Yuzuki walks down the stairs when she's stopped by Hideki. He bows at his waist and holds out a hand, "My I have this dance?" She nods and takes his hand, both of them walking to the dance floor. The song plays and Yuzuki smiles, enjoying the fun… Until Hideki's hand on her back goes lower and lower as the song progresses. Yuzuki doesn't notice until he actually grabs her ass. She blushes and slaps him right in front of the group, "What the hell was that for?" Hideki yells, holding his cheek. Many people stop and stare at them, even the host club. "Is that all you wanted?" Yuzuki says with no emotion in her eyes or voice. "Why else would I ask you to a dance?!" Hideki shouts. Kyoya places a hand to Hideki's shoulder, "its best if someone like you leaves. We don't allow trash in here." Hideki aims to swing a fist at Kyoya but Yuzuki holds him back and growls, "Don't even try it." He aims to elbow her in the face but she ducks and kicks his feet out from under him and he falls on his ass. Hunny and Mori stand in front of Yuzuki. "You better leave or else you'll have to get through us!" Hunny says. Hideki gives Yuzuki a look of pure hatred and runs out of the ball.

Kyoya claps his hands, "Well, the little issue is over! Nothing to see here, just continue the dance!" Everyone resumes what they were doing. Yuzuki sighs, "Well... I just lost a bit of business..." Kyoya takes her wrist and pulls her into another corridor. "What is it, Kyoya?" She demands once they're out of earshot of the guests. He grips her shoulders, "Are you an idiot? Hunny-sampai and Mori-sampai were right there! You didn't have to get involved!" Yuzuki glares at him, "I don't care! I'm not going to let an ass like that hit one of my friends!" Kyoya smirks, "So, now I'm one of your friends?" Yuzuki's face flushes a little and growls, "Yeah, you are... But so is Tamaki, so don't feel special!" Kyoya sighs and looks down, "Why are you so stubborn?" Yuzuki raises an eyebrow, "What do you mean?" "... Yuzuki... You need to decide if you want to hide what you really feel... Or just let them out..." He states as he walks away from her. She blushes, "How in the hell did he know?" She mutters to herself. 'Should I tell him... or should I keep it in?'
