Chapter 10: Of demons and knights

Tamaki's POV:

"Nope, you have not." The little, blond demon girl smiles at Kyouya. They were alone at the club room until I and the other members opened the doors. Well, Akira had noticed us right away, but Kyouya seemed to be in his own little world, obviously because he thought he was winning her little game. Right now I was about to freak out, but the twins quickly covered my mouth after they saw Kyouya's change of emotion. I just couldn't believe that there was one person who isn't shivering when he changes to the 'Shadow King'. Normally he is still smiling but right now even that had disappeared. He will kill her. And that insane girl still smiles.

"Well, actually the twins found out yesterday. I had to bribe them with three wishes so that they would keep their mouths shut." All eyes were now on the twins. I grabbed their hands and pushed them away.

"You did?" I asked, whispering. They both nodded and I was just about to ask them about Akira's fear (I didn't quite catch that thing with the band aids... Was she afraid of blood?) when Akira raised her voice.

"Unless you they had to find out the hard way." She smirked.

"Why did you bribe them?" Kyouya asked, he was furious.

"Because it's fun to see you struggle Glasses. But don't worry, I would have ended my little game with you tomorrow if you hadn't found out today." I gulped, then I asked the twins:

"So how did you find out? What's her fear?" I whispered.

"Actually I don't think it's a fear..." Hikaru whispers.

"It's more like some weird knight-complex..." Kaoru says.

"She doesn't want others to get hurt." I looked at them.

"And why does she think of it as a fear? It's quite noble to think that way, isn't it?" Now I was confused.

"You didn't see her yesterday." They both said. And then they told us everything.

Hikaru's POV:

Flashback: (thoughts)

Suddenly I saw a fist coming my way and I realized that I would be too slow even if I tried to dodge it. I closed my eyes and waited for the punch.

But I never felt any pain so I opened my eyes again, only to see Akira holding that guys fist. The wig we gave her lay on the ground, next to her feet.

"Y-you are the one from last time!" The thug shivered in fear. They are the thugs Chika spoke about?

"Hell yeah, didn't notice until now, did ya?" She smirked.

"Now, you wanna play again? With me?" She purred causing me to shiver while Kaoru froze up. But he didn't look at thos delinquents, he looked at Akira. She took a step forwards, the guy one step backwards. She cracked her knuckles and laughed.

"Let's do it like last time, you run, I try to catch ya? How about one minute until I begin to run?" The thugs shivered and looked at her, horrified.

"Now, run!" She smirked again. And the guys didn't hesitate, they ran while Akira began to count down, beginning with sixty. She looked at her fingernails, obviously bored, but just when she said zero she looked up again, grinning. She really is a monster. And then she disappeared.

Five minutes later she was back again, dragging two boys along. At least they aren't dead. She shoved them towards us.

"Apologize." Her voice was like ice. Almost like Kyouya. The thugs did what she said and I noticed little cuts on their cheeks, they were bleeding but not that much. What did she do to them?! I thought she would punch them! Did she do that with a knife?

"Good." She smiled again, this time his cute 'Honey-smile'. The other boys turned around and wanted to get away, but she stopped them. What is she going to do now?! She searched for something in her pockets and then she raised her hand to touch the taller boy who flinched slightly as she sticked a band aid on his cheek. For a brief moment I saw sadness in her eyes.

"There, done." She smiled again and I notice a blush on the boy's face. What the heck?!

"Now you can go, but don't fight again. And this time listen to my advice, will ya?" She slapped him playfully before they both walked away. She looked their way for a few seconds, then she turned around and noticed Kaoru and me. Her expression changed, she seemed sad and looked at the ground.

"You found out, huh? Please don't tell the others yet."

Flashback ends.

Kaoru stopped speaking and I looked at the other members.

"She was like a different person when those thugs tried to hurt us, maybe that's why she thinks of it as a fear..." I said.

"I think she is more afraid of others seeing that side of her." My twin adds. She doesn't want us to flinch, like those thugs, when she tries to touch us... I saw Honey smiling.

"Yup, that's why she plays this game. It's not about winning or loosing, it's a test." I smiled slightly and then I turned to look at Akira.

"Hey, hey, it's going on, their arguement I mean." Now the other members also looked at them.

"And just how would you end this game? You didn't even try to find out our fears." Kyouya says. He's trying to proof that he is better than her. She begins to laugh.

"Oh Glasses... You should have been mor attentive ya know? Remember the little chat witch Chika?" Kyouya nods.

"Yes, the thing about one being doomed if one begins a game with you." Akira smirked.

"Yep, he couldn't have said it better. All of you just assumed that I didn't know your fears." She chuckled.

"But I knew all of them, from the very beginning. So, if you think about it now, the game had ended even before you played with me, I just didn't say it." Akira looked our way for a moment and my eyes widened. The only one who didn't seem affected was Kyouya.

"Proove it." He says and she looks his way again. She took a step towards him, tiptoed and whispered something in his ear. Now even his eyes widened. She grinns and says, now loud enough for everyone to hear:

"But don't worry, I will stick to my promise, I will help out at the Host Club and Kyouya you will get your wish just like the twins get their three wishes. Now is everyone content with that?" We all nod, even Kyouya. And I knew what was on their mind because even I thought of the same thing:

She is a freaking demon. Maybe even the queen or a princess. And she's just made a powerful enemy: The Shadow King.
