A/N: I know I said that I'd update regularly now but I've got a life that takes most of my time so there! :p Anyway, here's chapter 3. . . . There's not much Kyouya but at least the Hitachiin Twins are present! I was supposed to post this a week ago but I couldn't think of the most appropriate title but this was the best I could come up with. My "betee" (the one I Beta for) suggested the title "Kyouya Rocks!" and I was honestly considering on using that BUT unfortunately, I've got other plans for that chapter title. XD Okay, story time (right after the disclaimer)!

DISCLAIMER: If Kyouya and the other hosts were mine I wouldn't be writing FanFics.I do own all OCs and the plot, though, so please don't steal them. :D


Wanna Bet?
Chapter Three -- New Friends and Tuna

(Yuuka's POV)

Achoo!

'Oh sh!t,' so much for keeping a low profile.

"How can we help you, senpai?"

I turned around with a start. Two brunettes stood by the doorway to class 1-A, both leaning casually on the frame as if they were bored by my very presence. The sight of another pair of twins sent a pang to my heart. I felt so alone right now. I wondered almost desperately what Yuuki was up to and if he was feeling the same solitude as me.

"Hey, Kaoru. Doesn't she look familiar?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when one of the boys stood right in front of me with one hand rubbing his chin as if in deep thought.

"You're right, Hikaru. Wasn't she. . . ." the other boy replied, taking his place beside his brother in the same pose and leaving his sentence hanging.

They exchanged mischievous glances with each other then. I didn't like it. It reminded me so much of what I didn't have right now - my brother. These Hitachiin twins made me miss my twin all the more.

"The girl who bet against the Shadow King?" Hikaru and Kaoru finished together equally impish grins alight on their faces.

I missed doing that with Yuuki to annoy people. I missed Yuuki. Period. But. . . .

"How'd you know about that?" I demanded despite my surprise.

.o.0.o.

(FLASHBACK -- OUTSIDERS' POV)

The door of the Third Music Room was slightly ajar and that fact alone made them wonder. Did someone forget to close up? They approached the room with much indifference, not really expecting to witness anything out of the ordinary.

"If I win, you'll go out on a date with me."

The two identical boys froze at the sound of a girl's voice. Wasn't the Host Club closed for the day? What was a girl still doing in the Third Music Room? And who was she talking to?

Like the two curious Cheshire cats they were, the Hitachiin twins waited to hear the rest of their conversation. Gently and steadily, they pushed one of the double doors open farther for a better view of the situation. Unfortunately, they still couldn't see who the girl was speaking to because she stood directly in front of him. That puffy yellow dress was such an obstruction.

It probably seemed like a long moment had passed before the girl received a reply. But when she did get one, the blonde girl wasn't the only one in shock.

"And if I win, your brother will have to join the Host Club." Ootori Kyouya had stated after much deliberation.

Kaoru had to put a hand over Hikaru's mouth to stop him from snickering though he was having a hard time restraining himself as well. They had to be quiet or they'd get caught. And since it was the Shadow King in there, they would really be in serious trouble if he'd discovered them eavesdropping on his private conversation.

"Yuuki? You want Yuuki to become a Host?" the girl responded, a tinge of disbelief coloring her tone.

"I believe you only have one brother so yes. Hiroto Yuuki will be a valuable asset to the Club." Kyouya answered back and the twins could just imagine his smile at the thought of increased profits.

He was doing this for the money. They should have known. But still, the thought of a girl "courting" the Host Club Vice President – it was simply hilarious!

"Sounds fair." the girl - Hiroto Yuuka, as they've deduced - agreed quite ecstatically.

'What a stupid girl,' the twins thought before escaping quickly from the scene, thinking that if they stayed too long they could be caught.

(FLASHBACK END)

(Yuuka's POV)

"So that was you?" I said after they'd recalled what happened only yesterday. "I thought it was Yuuki spying on me." I added with a shrug of my shoulders.

Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other and the same thought passed through their minds.

'She's stupid and weird.'

"Anyway, I'd like to speak to Fujioka Haruhi, if you guys don't mind." I stated casually, somewhat knowing what they were thinking but not at all bothered.

"What do you want with Haruhi?" they asked in unison identical curious faces staring directly at me.

"I want his help." I answered simply as I got up on the tips of my toes so that I could peek into their classroom and check if the short brunette was there.

"What do you want Haruhi's help for?" the more outspoken one - I guessed it was Hikaru - demanded, unsatisfied with my response. "He can't help you with Kyouya." he added bluntly.

"It's not about Kyouya. I've heard he's the natural type. I wanted to see if he can help me with Yuuki." I explained for his benefit.

"Your twin? Why?" this time it was Kaoru (I think) who spoke.

I frowned visibly. Should I tell them? It was such a sensitive topic and these two were labeled as the little devils of the Host Club. But on the other hand, they should be able to relate with me. I was sure they had their fights too. I remembered seeing them throwing stuff ( including Haninozuka and Morinozuka) at each other once and even seeing their hair blue and pink.

Maybe they could help me.

"Yuuki's ignoring me. He found out I bet him for Kyouya and he's mad at me. I don't know what to do if this keeps up anymore." I told them and as I said those words, I felt an ounce of relief in my chest.

"Why don't you apologize?" Kaoru suggested.

"I want to but what if he doesn't listen? I won't be able to handle it if he rejects me again." I retorted, predicting the things that would probably occur in a conversation with Yuuki right now.

"It won't be a problem if you make Kyouya fall for you, isn't it? Tell him to trust you on this one." Hikaru offered, feeling a little bit awkward giving advice to a girl.

"You really think Kyouya would fall in love with me?" I asked, sounding hopeful.

"Well, it's next to impossible but - ow!" Hikaru replied but was rudely interrupted by Kaoru hitting him on the head.

"What Hikaru means to say is that it won't be easy, Hiroto-san." a petite, brown-haired boy interjected as he entered the scene suddenly.

"Haruhi!" the twins exclaimed and I realized at once the face of the special scholarship student.

'He must be really smart.' I thought at once. 'Could he be smarter than Kyouya, though? Hmm. . . .I'd have to ask Kyouya that some time.'

I shook my head free from the irrelevant thoughts of no concern at the moment. I stared into those large brown eyes intently, expecting to see dishonesty. I had learned years ago that if you were the daughter of a multi-billionaire, people rarely told you what they really think because they were afraid of getting on the bad side of your family. I was really surprised to see no lies in the depths of his dazzling eyes.

"Thank you, Fujioka-kun. That means a lot." I then replied with a small smile, truly grateful for his words.

The twins looked at me and noticed the bento in my hands. They gazed at it questioningly and I only just noticed its presence. Perhaps I was in too much of a hurry to have remembered to leave it in the classroom after Kyouya refused to accept it. I suddenly figured out a brilliant idea.

"Have you eaten lunch yet?" I questioned them curiously.

The twins shook their head but aware of where the conversation was leading to, they asked, "Is there any tuna?"

The twin's golden eyes stared devilishly at the shorter boy between them. I would soon find out why they seemed so amused with their fellow first year. These new friends I've made were surely intriguing.
