A week had passed since the incident in the library which left Yumi very confused, did Kyouya mean what he said? You have beautiful eyes, his voice was imbedded into her mind. Did he mean what he said? Did he actually think that or was he just treating her like one of his clients? So many questions were running through her mind. She couldn't get her mind off of it, even today as she was doing the dishes after the club meeting she could only think of those questions.

The others had noticed how distracted Yumi seemed and began worrying.

"I wonder why Yumi-chan seems so distracted lately…" Honey spoke, knowing that she could not hear from the other room.

"I know, she seems as if she is in a fog every day." Kaoru looked back at the group from his position sitting on a tabletop.

"Yea and I thought I had a hard time paying attention in class" Hikaru chimed in from his position beside his twin.

"Maybe something is bothering her…" Haruhi wondered aloud.

"Why don't you ask her Haruhi, you're a girl after all" Tamaki said matter of factly.

"Thanks Senpai…" Haruhi responded with a strong sense of sarcasm in her voice.

"What I mean is she will probably be more open to talking if it's with you." Tamaki smiled.

"I suppose that may work." Haruhi sighed "I do hate prying though" She said as she got up from the couch and began walking to the back room. She opened the door and saw Yumi sitting on a stool in the kitchen with her favorite Edgar Allen Poe book in her hands, reading as usual.

"Hey Yumi…um is everything alright?" Haruhi asked, as usual getting right to the point.

"Hm?" Yumi responded, putting her book down with her paper bookmark in between the pages. "What do you mean Haruhi?"

"What I mean is that you seem so distant lately is something bothering you" Haruhi stayed standing by the door.

"I-It's nothing, I'm fine" Yumi lied through her teeth; she was not the kind of person to admit something was wrong.

Wow she is like Kyouya-senpai…Haruhi thought to herself, seeing how the two never would openly admit if something was wrong, and were better at hiding it than she was. "Yumi, I can tell that you have something on your mind, wanna talk about it" Haruhi tried once more get Yumi to tell her.

Yumi sighed; she couldn't hold this in anymore "It's about Kyouya senpai…"

Haruhi sighed, knowing what must have happened. "What did he do?"

"It's just, he complimented me…I just don't know if he meant it or was just treating me like one of his clients, I know how stupid it is but…I can't stop thinking about it…" Yumi sighed heavily, feeling good to have finally talked to someone about it.

Haruhi was slightly mad at Kyouya for toying with Yumi. "I'm sure he'll tell you soon enough"

"Please don't tell him" Yumi begged.

"Of course I won't, but I should get back to the boys" Haruhi then left the room and sat back down on the couch.

"Well?" Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki all spoke in unison.

"She's okay" Haruhi wouldn't explain everything with Kyouya in the room.

Tamaki at this point could read Haruhi like a book, he may be dense but when it came to Haruhi he had gotten a little better with reading her. So, he played along "Well that is good to hear. Kyouya, didn't you say you had plans with your father this afternoon?"

"Well, yes I should probably meet with him…" Kyouya sighed as he closed the book he was scribbling in and stood up before walking out of the music room.

"Ok spill it" Tamaki looked at Haruhi.

"Well, apparently Kyouya complimented her, and she couldn't tell if he was being sincere or treating her like one of our guests…"

Takashi rolled his eyes as Honey stayed sitting still beside him.

"He's toying with her?" Takashi grumbled

"I-I wouldn't jump to conclusions" Haruhi attempted to cool the situation

"But he hasn't spoken to her alone since then, he must be playing one of his shadow king mind games" Hikaru joked

Tamaki sighed "We don't play mind games, we are hosts, and he would only compliment her if he meant it since it was outside the club."

"What makes you so sure about that?" Kaoru looked at him

"I know because I know Kyouya, he isn't that kind of man…" Tamaki looked at the door.

"You never know, after all, he is the Shadow King" Hikaru smirked

"I'll talk to him…" Tamaki was somewhat worried that what the others were saying could be true, that Kyouya was truly playing with Yumi's emotions. He quickly ran out of the room after Kyouya, who hadn't gotten too far since he was walking slowly, not really looking forward to the meeting with his father.

"Kyouya!" Tamaki shouted from down the hall which made Kyouya stop and turn around.

"What is it Tamaki?" Kyouya sighed, wondering what could be so important for Tamaki to so abruptly leave the group.

"Are you toying with Yumi?" Tamaki, as usual was no good with touch upon a subject delicately.

"Wh-What?" Kyouya cleared his throat "What would possibly make you think that?" He worked to maintain his composure.

"If you are then you have to stop it before you end up hurting her…and if you are then…you aren't the man I thought you were…" Tamaki turned and walked away

"You don't understand…" Kyouya whispered in the silence.
