New chapter, and longer than the last one. Not even close to being as long as the first two, but I'm doing my best.

On with the show!

Riku Gallagher was confused. Ever since the camping trip, Sora and Kaito had been acting really weirdly around one another. Heh, maybe they got into a fight over Rikku. He smirked at that thought.

He found his eyes drifting to Kaito, who reclined on a divan in the Host Club's room. Isa had just told them that the room would be opening to the public in five minutes, so everyone took their places.

Why do I keep looking at him? Riku demanded of himself. Am I jealous of how Rikku feels about him? Yeah, that must be it! Haha! What else could it be?

He felt his gaze drift across Kaito's body. What am I doing? he asked himself. Why am I so interested in how Kaito looks?

Evidently, Kaito had caught Riku looking, because he turned his head to face him, an eyebrow raised quizzically. Riku froze. Am I blushing? Why the hell am I blushing?

A groaning noise came from the corner of the room. Sora was looking around the room, his hands clenched tightly on his right leg. Riku chuckled internally. No girls were even in the room, and he was already cramping up.

The girls started filtering in. Roughly half of them came to Riku; most of the rest, including Rikku, went to Kaito.

Heat began to rush through Riku's face. His mind was acting of its own accord. How dare they? How dare they come anywhere near Kaito? Wait, what? Why am I thinking of Kaito? I meant Rikku. Yeah, that's it! *nervous laugh* I meant how dare Kaito charm Rikku away from me? I definitely meant that!

"You okay, Riku?" Axel asked. No girls were around him, so he could freely talk to Riku, who wasn't paying attention to his groupies.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine." He flushed.

"Really? 'Cause you look like you're boring holes into the heads of all the girls around Kaito."

"I am NOT!" Riku protested vehemently.

Axel scoffed. "Sure."

**KH**

"I have a problem," Sora said to Riku as the two of them walked home later that day.

"What kind of problem?" Riku asked.

"Well…" Sora coughed, embarrassed. "I have this…friend…who found out a secret about one of his friends. It's a pretty big secret, and my friend promised not to tell anyone."

"Right. Well, the best bet is for your friend to keep the secret."

Sora nodded. "I was gonna tell him that, but I wanted to be sure."

"Of course you did," Riku said sarcastically. "I have a problem of my own."

"Shoot."

He flushed. "Uh, it's a bit, uh, weird."

Sora raised his eyebrows.

"You know this whole…'romantic comedy' scenario I invented with me, you, Rikku and Kaito?"

"Uh, yeah…"

"Well," Riku floundered, "I think it just got more complicated."

"Complicated? Complicated how?"

"I-think-I-have-feelings-for-Kaito." He said it really quickly.

Sora shook his head. "Can you repeat that? Slower this time?"

"I. Think. I. Have."

"Not that slow."

"I think I have feelings for Kaito."

Sora's eyes widened. "You? The lady-killer? Having…"

"Shh! Keep quiet!"

"…feelings for another guy?" Sora whispered.

"Maybe." Riku blushed again.

Sora let out an explosive breath. "Sounds like you need to join that homosexual supporting cast."

"Shut up!" Riku roared. Sora laughed evilly.

**KH**

The next day, Sora went to see Luxord Downes, Destiny High's resident councillor, and told his whole story. Luxord kept silent throughout, his index fingers resting on his bearded chin. When Sora stopped, Luxord quietly placed his hands on the arms of his chair and spoke in a clear, well-educated voice.

"Let me see if I have this correctly. This…new member of the Host Club…goes by the name Kaito Hart."

Sora nodded. "That's right, sir."

"And Rikku Strong, a long-time friend of Riku Gallagher, has a crush of some sort on Kaito."

Again, Sora nodded.

"However, you found out recently that Kaito is in fact a girl, and that you may or may not have feelings for her." He held up a hand. "Don't nod again, Sora. It's beginning to irritate me."

"Sorry, sir."

"Anyhow, Riku, who still believes Kaito is a male, is developing feelings for 'him', as well as for Rikku."

There was a silence.

"You can nod now, Sora. That was an actual enquiry."

Sora nodded quickly.

"Well," Luxord said then, sitting back, "I'm afraid I can't help you."

"But…"

He held up a hand. "This is not the sort of issue that is dealt with in a councillor's office, Sora. You need to deal with this yourself. And quickly, if even half of what you told me is true."

"So…?"

"So, I would recommend that, if you do have feelings for Kaito, or whatever her name is, act on them?"

Sora stared at the man.

Luxord smiled. "Not in a place near the school, of course, but…become closer to her. She might even start acting like a girl. That would be enough to turn away Rikku, and save Riku's sanity."

Sora looked at the floor for a minute, before his face broke into a grin. "Great idea! Thanks, sir!"

Luxord laughed. "Glad to be of help. Oh, and Sora."

Sora stopped at the door of his office.

"Don't let anything like this happen again."

Sora nodded, still smiling. "No problem, sir." He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Once he'd left, Luxord let out a hearty chuckle. "Kids these days. Their lives are so confusing."
