HIIIIIIII! I'm sooooo sorry! It's been over a week and I haven't posted. I didn't expect this to happen, but things just kept happening and I got really busy. But I'm back now, so please don't be mad at me. I know I hate it when I have to wait forever for someone to post a new chapter. Anyways, I'll let you get back to reading ^.^


Chapter 6

The Competition: Part 3

The two clubs returned on stage, the crowd eagerly awaiting the next challenge. Reiko continuously stared daggers in Kyoya's direction. He never once looked her way, but he could feel her bloodthirsty glare trying to boar a hole in his skull. It was amusing to know someone could waste so much energy being pissed at him. He wanted so desperately to look over and smile at her, just to see what would happen. But at times like these, Kyoya was just too full of pride to give into temptation.

Nanami pulled on her friend's sleeve. Reiko turned her head only to have the charismatic girl wink at her. She had to refrain from pulling her bratty friend's hair out. There were people watching. Nanami took the chance to inspect the host club a little more thoroughly. They were all cute. Like, super cute. Her head began spinning, filled to the brim with lovey-dovey fantasies. Oh, her hopeless romantic heart.

The two girls turned their attention back to Renge when she had pulled another slip of paper out from the top hat. What could possibly come next? "And the third challenge is… a pie eating contest!"

Right off the bat, it was obvious who the host club would pick. Honey was famous for his large consumption of cake and any other sweets he could get his hands on. Pie would definitely fall into that category. Surely they had this challenge in the bag, right?

Without a word to his peers, Honey moved to the front of the stage. His eyes were twinkling with anticipation as his mouth began to water. The host club looked at their opponents, giving them a cocky grin. There was no way any of them would be able to gobble down a pie as fast as Honey-sempai. The hostess club looked back at them with a smug expression. Both teams seemed way too confident.

The boys' smile faltered when they saw who the girls had chosen to compete. A jittery Yuki approached center stage cautiously. A bead of sweat rolled down her cheek as she chewed frantically on her finger nails. She looked nervous as hell! How could the other girls be so confident? Perhaps they would just have to wait and see.

Quickly, two small tables covered in white cloth were placed in front of the two competitors as a dining chair was placed behind each of them. They sat down and were given a napkin along with some silverware. When they were both settled in, a scrumptious cherry pie was positioned in front of each of them. Honey had a hard time not devouring it before the signal. It just looked so good!

"Ready… set… GO!"

The petite blonde boy eagerly began gobbling down his pie, which fading quickly with each bite. Part of him wanted to saver the taste, but doing that might have kept him from winning. Next to him, Yuki stared blankly down at her pie with unsure brown eyes. She looked afraid to even try. Any minute she would run off the stage, unable to continue. Ashamed. But then, something crazy happened.

In a matter of seconds, her pie was gone. She had consumed it whole, like a vacuum cleaner. It was an amazing sight to watch a shy, quiet girl's jaw practically unhitch and wolf down an entire pie. If you blinked, you would have missed it completely; it was that fast. And even more impressive, she wasn't even covered in the cherry goodness. Only a small red stain in the corner of her mouth, which she licked away quickly.

Everyone around was speechless, especially the host club. "But… how? What? When did she? Huh?" Tamaki uttered, unable to process the scene before him. Did Honey just… lose?

Honey's eyes filled with tears at the realization of his defeat. How could he have lost? How could anyone eat faster than him? It just didn't make sense. "TAKASHI!" he yelled, jumping into the taller boy's arms. Some of the girls in the audience burst into tears seeing Honey so distraught. Mori tried his best to console his cousin. "She's a demon! She can't be human!" Honey cried, unable to cope.

Yuki timidly returned to the group, who boasted their congratulations. The other boys in the crowd cheered loudly.

Mori looked up at the hostess club. His usually kind eyes turned dark and cold. Nanami was the first to catch his glare, a chill running down her spine. His gaze made her want to curl up into a ball and hide. Had they crossed a line they shouldn't have? She really hated being, well… hated. Even if they WERE the enemy, she didn't want them to think badly of her. Asuka put a hand on Nanami's shoulder. "No worries. He's just upset because we hurt his precious little cousin's feelings. Don't let him intimidate you", she assured her. Nanami let out a sigh and nodded. Of course. Asuka could always tell what she were thinking.

Reiko glared back at Mori only to find that he had returned to comforting Honey. She looked over and caught a pair of silver-brown eyes staring back at her. He looked away as quickly as her eyes met his.


Well, now Honey knows how his younger brother feels, haha! I hope you enjoyed. I like to think that you got to know Yuki a bit better, but to be honest she still seems like a such a mystery to me. Well of course, I know her a lot better than you do. Tehehe, evil plans!
Oh my gosh, I was re-reading chapter two. SO MANY ERRORS! Goes to show how tired I was...
Anyways, that's all for now. Next chapter will be epic ;)
