Kyouya sat on his bed, toweling his wet hair. He had just taken a shower, and was sitting and contemplating the day's events. He put down the towel and replaced his glasses, thinking.

"…she's not even that beautiful. She's more…cute…than anything else. And she's so naïve… Maybe it's because she can see right through me? No. That's ridiculous. A female version of Tamaki would satisfy me then. Although, her intelligence is something to be admired, she isn't exactly cunning. And it's not as if father would even stand to hear about it. No, I need to consider other avenues through which I may bestow my affection upon a more suitable girl." He looked up as a knock sounded on the door.

"Mr. Ootori wants to see you in his office," said a voice from the other side of the door. Footsteps sounded down the hallway, and the servant was gone. Kyouya walked to the office with some bemusement. What could his father want now? Then again, why did his father do anything? It seemed that causing pain was his main goal. He wondered if his father even knew how a normal father was suppposed to act. Sighing, he knocked on the door hesitantly.

"I called for you. You don't need to knock." Kyouya adjusted his glasses and stepped into the room.

"Yes father?"

"Sit down. I have something to discuss with you." Kyouya sat. "How do you feel about that girl Fujioka Haruhi?" Kyouya started in shock, but quickly covered his surprise. What did he want with Haruhi?

"Yes father?" asked Tamaki, walking into his father's office. His father looked up from his papers, a serious look on his face. Tamaki swallowed in dread. It was probably about his mother again, with that face. He sighed in relief as his father loosened up a little and gestured to a chair.

"I know that you're friends with that Fujioka Haruhi girl," said his father, leaning over his desk to stare at his son. Tamaki jerked in surprise.

"So?" he asked hesitantly. Was this good or bad?

"Oh my god," Haruhi sighed, collapsing onto her bed. "What... a... freaking... mess." She lay down and stared at the ceiling, thinking of the days events.

"What the hell am I going to do? Well... I've already ruled out the twins. They're wonderful people, but I know that picking one would mean an emotional wreck of another would be on my hands. I can't handle separating those two. They can't handle being separated. And I don't want to have anything to do with disrupting their precarious balance on the wall between their world and this one. If I pull one I might just push the other one back in. No, it's best for them to find their way on their own." She paused, glad that she had taken care of one problem. But there was a much larger one.

"Does he really like me? If he had nothing to hide wouldn't he have simply let himself go, instead of having that unreadable mask? No, that's not how he is… there's no way to tell. Agh, why does this have to be so complicated? Kyouya-Senpai needs someone more than anyone else. The problem is, I'm not entirely sure that the person he needs is me. Even if he does like me. We're from different worlds, and his father… no. I'm not the right person for him. I need to tell him that. He needs someone who is his match, who can deal with his… evilness. What good is a wife that's afraid of you half the time? Then again, some people like that…. No. First, before I do anything, I need to find out if he really likes me. And that means waiting. If he's going to say anything, he won't do it while everyone is around. And if I say no he might pawn it off as a joke. Or he might even make a joke anyway even if he doesn't. Is he that evil? No, he's actually really nice, although I forget sometimes. But he puts up a front, and so he might….Alright. The best thing to do is wait and see what he does." She paused again. She felt like it was cruel to leave them all hanging like that. "But I have to tell the twins, alone, so that they can make up. And I have to make them swear not to say anything." She sat up and began to fix something to eat. She brightened as a thought came to her.

"I could let it slip that Huny-Senpai said that Kyouya-Senpai liked me. Their curiosity would make them volunteer to figure it out for me, this way they have an excuse. They'll all find out if he really likes me anyway. And if he doesn't, then it'll be considered a joke and there's no worries…right?"
