Chapter 11

"Hey Amaya?" Haruhi asked, a tone of nervousness in her voice

"Wassup, chickie?" Amaya asked, putting the book she was reading down on the table in front of the host club's sofa.

"Well, yesterday was… well really fun, and I just can't get it out of my head the way Hikaru acted and well I was wondering if you could give me some advice," she blushed slightly, as Amaya's face turned sly

"Sooo," she started, crossing a long slender leg over the other "you wanna know how to handle a Hitachiin?" she asked with a devious smirk

"W-well I erm… yeah," she admitted, hanging her head in defeat.

"Take a seat Haruhi, you've come to the master," Amaya winked as she patted the seat next to her. Haruhi proceeded to sit down next to the red-head and give her undivided attention. "If you've noticed… Hikaru doesn't mind me taking Kaoru all to myself… do you know why?" Amaya asked curiously, now that was something even Kyouya was stumped about so how Haruhi could know was beyond her.

"Not a clue," Haruhi smiled sheepishly

"I play with Hikaru too," Amaya grinned cheekily "always include the other twin with what you're doing or they'll feel left out and it'll be like you're stealing one of them," she explained "that's why Hikaru doesn't mind me, and that'll be why Kaoru won't mind you," Amaya winked "then again, I doubt he'd mind anyway, as long as he and Hikaru got some brotherly time then they'd be fine, just never interrupt their acts… unless you're a part of them," Amaya advised seriously

"Wha'cha dooooin?" Kaoru asked slyly, Hikaru watching intently from where Kaoru had left him… after Hikaru had said he could of course.

"Haruhi here needs a little help," Amaya grinned as Haruhi's eyes widened 'she wouldn't… no she couldn't!' Haruhi thought frantically

"With what?" Kaoru asked with a crafty grin.

"She is crushin on your big brother," Amaya purred as Kaoru gasped and stared at the doe-eyed shocked girl

"Amaya!" Haruhi hissed

"Oh c'mon, who could help you more; me, his brothers' girlfriend… or him, Hikaru's actual brother." Amaya asked dryly, Kaoru backing her statement with a cheeky grin.

"I'd rather talk with a girl to be honest," Haruhi smiled sheepishly, realizing Amaya was right, but still it felt uncomfortable talking to Kaoru about those things.

"Oh... well I guess if I'm not needed then," and Kaoru then proceeded to pout, kiss Amaya on the cheek and run back over to Hikaru.

".... He won't tell Hikaru will he?" Haruhi asked nervously as Amaya looked at Kaoru, whom was busy in the middle of another brotherly love act, mainly having something to do with how much Hikaru had missed his brother in the... 20 seconds he was gone, and how he never wanted Kaoru to leave him again.

"Nah, he'll know I'll be mean to him if he did," Amaya smirked then leaned forward with a curious intent to the onlookers it looked like a seductive gesture... buuut it wasn't at all. "So... how long have you been feelin this way?" Amaya asked curiously

"I don't know, not that long I suppose." Haruhi shrugged as the activity gained attention

"Is Haruhi-kun flirting with Kaoru-kuns girlfriend?" a girl asked

"Oh this'll cause a stir!" another squeaked as Kaoru and Hikaru looked over with a smirk.

"So you need my help then... because my friend, I'm sure with my help Hikaru will be yours in no time," Amaya winked

"You can do that?" Haruhi asked shocked, the shock was rather noticeable on the teens face.

"Oh there's a lot I can do, Haruhi" she purred, leaning back on the chair

"Either he's flirting with her... or she's flirting with him," a girl whispered

"Help me then" Haruhi smiled genuinely as Amaya grinned and stood up

"It shall be done my friend!" she announced then leaned down and whispered into her ear "but know this... expect a little embarrassment, the girls are gonna think your gay." She grinned then ran over to Hikaru... Haruhi immediately regretted her decision to tell Amaya as Hikaru smiled at Amaya, the girl leaned down and whispered something; his face broke out in a blush, Haruhi's face drained all colour as Hikaru looked at her.

"Uh..." she gulped as Kaoru jumped off of his brothers' knee

"Do it," Amaya whispered as Hikaru smiled and nodded

"Keep Kyouya off our backs and you got a deal" he grinned happily.

"Ooooh I believe that'll be pretty damn easy," she smirked as Kaoru frowned "and completely and totally appropriate," she smiled with her hands up in a surrendering gesture. "Ok, you take her outside to the gardens; you know where those Sakura Trees are... it's still kinda snowy so it looks really nice" Amaya smiled as Hikaru nodded and stood up. Silence fell over the club as Hikaru made his way over to Haruhi and pulled her up onto her feet

"H-Hikaru...?" Haruhi blushed as Hikaru smiled

"Come with me," he whispered as she nodded and followed him out the room.

"Where's Hikaru going?" Kyouya asked with a frown

"You, shush, serious match-making time!" Amaya hissed as the shadow king narrowed his eyes "uh... please?" she smiled sheepishly

"So you're match-making now?" Kyouya sighed rubbing his forehead "whatever happened to the first plan?" he asked

"That plan was officially dumped, had oil pored over it then set on fire and the ashes were spread out amongst the garbage," she grinned happily "it's safe to say the old plan is dead!" she bopped from side to side with a silly grin on her face as Kaoru just blinked at them in confusion.

"So you're setting Hikaru and Haruhi up?" he asked as she nodded enthusiastically, her hair bouncing so much that it fell in front of her eyes and became slightly messy.

"And before you moan about it, which I'm sure you're going to, THINK about it, all the girls think she's a guy, Hikaru going after another guy, Kaoru getting really upset, Hikaru trying to console him, think of the profits you'll make with this one," she winked as Kyouya blinked and smiled

"Pleasure doing business with you Nakamura Amaya," he purred and walked off as Kaoru grinned and glomped her, the girls that the twins were meant to be hosting just giggled at the display.

----

(I love this pairing too much now)

"Hikaru... where are you taking me?" Haruhi asked desperately, Hikaru's only answer was a grin "surprise?" she asked knowingly

"How'd you guess?" he grinned and led her out into the snow covered gardens

"... It's beautiful out here..." Haruhi smiled as he chuckled "Hikaru, about what Amaya told you, if you don't feel the same way then I completely understand I mean, your rich an I'm kinda not, well it's not even a 'kinda' is it, it's really just a flat out not," she rambled as he smirked "and i know you think i'm a toy and a commoner but i just-

-Haruhi... she said absolutely bugger all." He cut into her rambling with a smirk as she stopped rambling completely

"Wait what?" Haruhi asked

"She told me to play along and you'd say it all..." he grinned "so... feel the same way?" he purred more than asked as he advanced on her, her feet were just plain glued to the floor.

"D-do you?" she stuttered as he leaned down, his face, inches from hers

"Do I what?" he asked smoothly as he lifted her chin up with his index finger, their foggy breaths mingling. She was frozen; she couldn't do anything except for stare into those beautiful amber irises. Meanwhile...

"Is he actually going to do it?!" girls squealed as they watched from the host club window,

"I hope so, I got a twenty ridin on this," Amaya sighed, leaning over the back of the sofa.

"So Hikaru-kun is gay?" one of the girls asked curiously

"Is he Kaoru-kun?" another asked the younger twin as he sheepishly shrugged

"Not my business to tell you," He sighed "but, he has been spending a lot of time with Haruhi lately, it's comforting to know he's found someone," he shrugged as the girls smiled at him

"Oh you're so sweet Kaoru-kun," the girls said in unison as they stared at him in admiration

"Hey, back off chickies, Kaoru-kun­ is mine," Amaya grinned as she wrapped her arms around the younger twins neck and kissed his cheek making the girls pout and back off slightly.

Meanwhile....

"H-Hikaru, don't play with me now," Haruhi sighed and pulled away, Hikaru's surprised look missed her attention as she backed away from him and sat on a bench.

"I'm not playing around with you!" he protested, a frown firmly fixed on his face.

"Do you, or do you not like me?" she asked finally, she'd had enough of dancing around the topic. She could almost see the gears turning in the orange haired male as he blinked at her stupidly

"... You actually have to ask?" he asked curiously as roles reversed and it was her turn to blink stupidly at him. "The other night I told you that I wanted to know if I even had a chance with you, yet you still need to ask if I like you of not... Haruhi, you are the slowest girl I have ever met" he sighed, rubbing his forehead with his hand. She clicked, FINALLY.

"You do?" she asked with a shocked blink.

"I'm gonna be at this all my life aren't i?" he mumbled then walked over to her, pulled her up off the chair and pressed his lips firmly against hers.

---

"OH KAWAII!" the girls in the club screamed as they watched from the windows, Kyouya was busy keeping Tamaki busy so he didn't go completely skitso over the new development.

"What-what?!" Amaya asked standing on a chair to see over the gaggle of fangirls, and then she grinned "BEN OWES ME A TWENNY!" she cheered as she bounced on the chair, Kaoru chuckled and moved through the crowds to see what the fuss was about, when he saw a full blown smile broke out on his face.

"Finally," he mumbled ecstatic for his brother. He was jumped out of his thoughts by two arms clinging around his waist; he knew it wasn't Amaya as the arms were out-stretched... Sooo there was only one person it could be. "What is it Honey-sempai?" he asked with a sigh as the senior laughed and ran around to face him.

"Ama-chan told me to tell you that she'll meet you outside after school, apparently she's gotta do some stuff," he recited as Kaoru frowned, looked around to see she was in fact gone and took out his phone "also not to phone her cause she's gotta concentrate!" he added quickly as Kaoru sighed. Kyouya having heard the message frowned and walked out to the office.

"Anything else?" Kaoru asked curiously as Honey put his finger on his lip in a thoughtful manner.

"Uuummmm... she said not to worry, but she won't be in any of the lessons after the club," he shrugged as Kaorus' eyes grew wide

"But why?!" he yelped in shock as Honey shrugged, he just recited what he was told.

"She never told me, she just said that it was really important and not to bother her cause it'll just end up messing up," he explained then ran off back to Mori.

"....Amaya where are you?!" he growled to himself as he sat down on the couch

---

"Ok, so if she's nowhere on school grounds.... then where?" Amaya sighed as she'd just finished checking the last of the vantage points

"Hey Phoebe, i just got news that a few new security staff have been added to the Hitachiin residence, try there, she could be taking a leaf outta your book again i mean, getting close to the target, only she won't be fallin for one of them," Alex chuckled, the sounds of typing in the background as his fingers ran over the keys expertly

"Will you STOP rubbing that in my face, you don't choose who you fall in love with you idiot, you just do, you're just jealous cause you spend all your time behind that f-in computer and don't have a social life!" she ranted then paused, the words finally sinking in. "..... New security staff?" she asked as the tech wiz growled slightly, stung by her words.

"Yes, Yuzuha Hitachiin hired six new security staff recently, four males two females." Alex explained "she could have easily done that; i mean... it wouldn't be hard to fool their mother if you actually wanted to, you could fool that woman into thinking the sky was black with pink polka dots," he grumbled as she laughed, Alex smiled at her laugh as she could tell with his next statement "remember my good friend.... keep your backside outta trouble," she could HEAR the smile in his voice as she nodded

"Yes sir!" she smiled and turned off the connection; then took off walking to the Hitachiin residence.

----

"Ehem!" Kaoru called over the excitedly chatting chaos in the third Music room, the only one that wasn't informed of the new development was in fact Tamaki.... of course. "Can i have your attention?!" he called and the music room gradually quietened down to soft whispers. "As many of the club saw quite clearly," he smirked and turned to look at his suspicious brother "and yes, the windows DO give us a wonderful view of that particular portion of the school grounds" he snickered as Haruhi blushed a bright crimson red.

"Get on with it Kaoru," Hikaru grumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest, a light blush on his pouting face.

"My wonderful older brother Hikaru... has finally taken himself off the market." Kaoru winked as the girls let out depressed sighs "would the two newest love-birds wave to the crowds?" he requested, both teens raised their hands shyly and waved.... aaand then it started with the dramatics.

"WHAT?! MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER!!" Tamaki cried as he was pulled back by Honey and Mori... well more Mori than Honey.

"It's for the best!" Honey cried as Tamaki struggled unscrupulous

"Ah," was Mori's monosyllabic agreement.

"My PRECIOUS daughter... dating one of those UNSCRUPULOUS TWINS!" he cried

"Heeeyyy!" both twins replied in unison with mirrored dry looks.

"I'm not YOURS!" Haruhi finally yelled with an angry glare "i am NOBODIES property, i choose what i do and i don't care if you like it or not, and you're not my father!" she growled as he froze and immediately started sulking in his little shadowy corner with little mushrooms growing all over him.

".... Wow," Kaoru commented with a smile as she huffed and crossed her arms over her chest

"That's my girl," Hikaru grinned and hugged her as she let out an annoyed sigh at the 'my' portion of his statement but let it slide.

"Ladies the Host Club is now coming to a close, i apologise for the chaos of today's events" Kyouya spoke up as the girls gained tearful looks as they looked at the new 'gay' (or not) couple, said their goodbyes and walked out the room.

"Where's Amaya?" Hikaru asked looking around

"I DUNNO!" Kaoru stressed as he paced around the room, Hikaru visibly jumped at the outburst and stared at his brother like he'd grown a second head. "She's gone, told Honey-sempai she had to do something, i can't phone her or anything and it's worrying me!" he exclaimed, stopping at the window to stare down at the grounds.

"Why can't you phone her?" Hikaru asked

"She apparently has to concentrate," he grumbled.

---

"Amaya, where are you?" Kyouya asked suspiciously as Amaya growled down the phone, obviously quite busy.

"I have reason to believe that the other assassin sent to get the twins has covered her tracks by becoming one of their new security staff... I'm checking it out now, so get the fuck off of my phone line and leave me alone you creepy bastard," and she hung up.... Kyouya looked at the phone then growled slightly and put the phone back on the hook and walked back to the host club. "Over-confident prick thinkin he can tell me what to do, always needing to know where i am, who does he think he is my feckin mother?!" she grumbled quietly as she snuck through the windows on the top floor of the Hitachiin residence.

"No I'm pretty sure it was Tamaki who thinks Kyouya's everyone's mother..." Alex chuckled as she smirked and carried on her journey through the almost empty halls of the Hitachiin home.

"So when do those kids get back home then?" a female voice asked causing Amaya to freeze and gulp

"Sometime around 5... Depending on if the young masters decide to visit Nakamura-san," one of the servants explained "if they do then it's usually around seven o'clock-ish." He continued as brief 'uh-huh's' were heard, Amaya took a chance and peeked out from behind her hiding place only to have her heart freeze in her chest.

"I just can't wait to meet the boys," she purred fluidly as the servant nodded and walked off.

"Kaoru..." Amaya breathed then ran out the way she came, as the blond guard smirked at the position Amaya had been seconds before then walked off in the opposite direction.

Ooooooh, she's found! Hikaru's dating Haruhi and Kyouya's rather suspicious lol.
