Chapter 09; it's not that I hate you, I don't really like you too.

He forgot when the exact time they met but he did remember it was when they were still in elementary school and he was visiting her grandparent's house, a very traditional-like house.

It was the beginning of summer, they were greeted right away by many servants when they entered the house before the people from inside the house greeted them.

"This is my granddaughter, Hinoka Yuki."

She had short hair back then, wearing a yukata that felt really cool in that hot summer. He had a very beautiful smile, those eyes just seemed to attract her—He was like a perfect boy.

If just his personality wasn't so annoying and making the summer heat became hotter.

As soon as the adults left, they were told to play in other room. Of course as a good child she decided to be super duper kind like always to every people she met.

"Even though you are terrible at playing it, you still ask me to play chess with you. You have an amazing confidence."

He never really insulted her right in the face—Oh no, she was the one who began the war but he lit the fire. He always made it look like a normal comment or anything, always complete with a sarcasm that made her can't take it anymore, and they were still in elementary school.

"How was the trip?"

"Miserable, like having you around me."

Then he also began playing the game.

"How did you wake up every morning and look into the mirror? With face of yours I wish I was blind."

That continued for awhile.

"Why don't you slip into something more comfortable, like a coma?"

"Would you please stop doing that?"

"What?"

"Breathing, it really annoyed me to hear you breathing."

"Why don't you shut up and give that hole on your face to heal?"

"How rude, do they even teach you etiquette? But again with your level of smartness, having you memorize the alphabet is good enough."

That's how the relationship between the two of them goes for on and on, but of course, they grew up and sometimes there're times where things were a bit different than usual.

"Why hello there, an unexpected visit, how pleasant." He flashed his smile and she just walked passed him, not really caring.

"I brought cakes, would you kind enough to prepare tea or should I spell it out for you?"

It's odd how they still can be in the same room for a long time.

"Have you been crying?"

"Ha! The granddaughter from Koizumi family won't allowed to cry,"

"But you're from Hinoka family, if you're actually stupid enough to not realize that, and no one forbids you from crying."

Yuki looked to Kyoya who sipped his tea calmly while she was sitting on the sofa across him and was hugging one of the pillows.

"You thought the idea of the engagement would fall off now, wouldn't it?" she asked with a smile on her face.

"...Pardon me?"

"Marrying me would gain benefit to your family but let's be honest, we have that phase in our life when we want to rebel and this is that phase. By now you thought I would cry to my dear father and begged for the engagement to never happen,"

He raised his eyebrows,

"Oh c'mon, it's no use hiding it from me."

"Then do me a favor and tell me why you haven't."

"You're not stupid enough to believe I would tell you everything now, are you?" she asked with a happy grin.

He was ready to just flipped the table but remained calm and sipped his tea once more,

"Ready to sacrifice everything I assume?" he asked,

"What else do I have." She replied, "Do you think you can make the plan over?"

"I have a few plans,"

"Why are they're not working?"

"It takes time if you notice."

Yuki stared at him for awhile,

"If by my 18th birthday it still not happening, I would very much like to slap you in the altar,"

"How childish of you,"

"I'm quite famous for it." She answered with a grin and the two changed the topic after that.

She was a bit surprised when Kyoya went a mess after he met with a man named Suoh Tamaki, Yuki herself knew about the Suoh family but she never met the person and she thought Haru might know him when Kyoya told him the story of him while blazing in anger.

It's noticeable the change in him after his meeting with Tamaki, he seemed enjoying himself more and more and Yuki just watched with a smile on her face, enjoying the show.

"If you have nothing to be done then can you leave? You're interrupting my work."

"Eh what, I'm interest in this club you're talking about."

"And why would I tell you these things, go home before I call on security."

"Don't do that, I free my schedule just to come and meet you."

"Do tell your other schedule other than eating and sleeping,"

She just stared at him while he smiled,

"I'm thinking of a high school to go,"

"High school?"

"If you forgot next year I would be in my junior year in high school. It would be nice to go to the same school as Haru,"

"You could just go to Ouran,"

She looked away and seemingly thinking about it,

"Yeah, that sounds fun." She said with a grin but said no further more.

They were different from the Hiitachin twin and Kyoya noticed that from the beginning. While the Hiitachin twin seemingly to be very identical, the Hinoka twin actually just made it look like they were identical.

They're times when they're in sync and time when they're not.

The fact that the two were raised differently had a huge impact on them.

"It took you long enough to enroll in Ouran,"

"I was lectured by my grandmother but remembering you were there she only lectured me for 4 hours." She said with a smile,

"How delightful, I would like to see that."

She just snickered with full of hatred inside it.

"I assume you have met with the Hiitachin twin."

"We have,"

Kyoya looked at her who ate the cake innocently, arms crossed in front of his chest as he tried to hid his smile.

"It would be nice if this plan goes smoothly even though I never thought this one going to work,"

"Why are you smiling? It creep me out,"

Kyoya looked at her and just smiled before he rose to his feet and patted her head which confused her, then he went to his desk to start on his school assignment.

"But again, having this relationship stay for quite awhile won't be matter. There's no rush."

"If you're finish you should go home, you're interrupting me,"

"After the trouble I come," she sighed, "Fine, I would be leaving in 10 minutes."

He would lied and told people that he didn't smile at all after that.
