Kyoya and Tamaki

( Aka, The Dark Lord feels love?!)

"What's wrong?" Tamaki bugged Kyoya for the tenth time that afternoon.

"Nothing." Kyoya said again, for the tenth time that afternoon.

Tamaki had followed Kyoya home like a lost puppy... a really annoying puppy that didn't take a hint. Tamaki settled himself on the couch next to Kyoya, and looked at him, serious for once in his life.

"It's her, isn't it?"

Kyoya said nothing, just kept typing. On his computer were documents regarding the host club's funds. But his mind was elsewhere.

"You can tell me you know," Tamaki said finally.

Kyoya stopped typing and gently closed the laptop.

"So what?" He answered calmly.

"So what if it is her? It means nothing to you nor anyone else."

Tamaki had a sad smile on his face... then...

"Oh Kyoya, you grow up so fast!" the next minute Tamaki was hugging him like a child.

"Ughhhh..." Kyoya groaned, his dark lord washing over him.

"You two will make such a cute couple!" Tamaki almost screamed ecstatically... still hugging Kyoya.

Kyoya ignored him. Far off in an apartment a certain girl was doing who knows what with her three friends... probably something girlish Kyoya figured. He thought of what he would say...

The next day...

"So..." said Hikaru, winking at Megan.

"... we heard about the ball that was at the Ouran festival..." continued Kaoru, winking at Sarah.

"...and you thought you two might want to come with us!" They both finished together.

"Yes!" Sarah wrapped her arms around Karou's neck and Megan wrapped hers around Hikaru's. The twins both grinned at each other and high fived, with the two girls still hugging at their necks.

Everyone was in music room 3, again getting ready for oncoming guests. Sierra was watching Sarah and Megan from a distance, laughing a bit and smiling with Whitney. She had remained a little silent after the "secrets being revealed thing" from a few days ago. Kyoya had his clipboard in one hand, but not looking at it. He was looking at Whitney... who happened to be laughing and pointing at Sarah and Megan.

"Just ask her." Tamaki said, elbowing Kyoya a bit in his side. Kyoya ignored this, and proceeded to look and "pretend" to be busy with his clipboard. Most likely a bit embarrassed that he got caught looking at her.

"I'm not doing anything." Kyoya said plainly, though he didn't mean it.

Tamaki shrugged and walked off. Whitney told Sierra she had to go get dressed (the only one dressed was Sierra). She walked near Kyoya who started toward her, she noticed and stopped.

"I heard you were interested in going to the Ouran ball," Kyoya started, his mysterious smile appearing.

"And was wondering if you would like an escort."

Whitney looked up at him (He is tall after all) and kind of nodded dumbly. She blinked a couple of times then spoke.

"Yeah, yeah I would like that."

Kyoya nodded.

"Good, I'll pick you up at seven that night." then he walked off, seemingly calm.

Whitney, still dumb-struck, wandered into Sierra (That's how dazed she was).

"What happened?" Sierra said, gripping Whitney's arms to steady her.

"I think Kyoya just asked me to go to the ball with him..." slowly a smile spread on her face, then she was ecstatic and looked as though she were about to scream. Sierra clamped a hand on her mouth to quiet her, she was smiling too.

"Calm down!" Sierra said giggling. Then she leaned in close to Whitney.

"If you need to scream do it in the back room."

Whitney nodded, still smiling, then went into the back room. After she did, a faint scream could be heard. Sierra laughed and shook her head. Then she crossed her arms and looked back at the twins and Sarah and Megan (who were now discussing something, it was unclear what it was), then she looked back at the door Whitney went through. Then a thought came into her mind... but it quickly left, she pushed it away. Sarah and Megan left the twins and came over to Sierra. She quickly told them the good news, at which both girls quickly got excited again (not as excited as Whitney though, who was still screaming in the back room). Kyoya had seated himself by Tamaki on the couch, Honey was eating cake with Mori (and by with, I mean next to) at a table for two nearby. They seemed to be having a serious conversation, that was much less serious considering Honey had to pause every few second to shovel more cake in his mouth. Tamaki looked over at Kyoya from the corner of his eye, and Kyoya knew that. Tamaki just smiled, and Kyoya (who was still smiling from earlier) checked his clipboard. Whitney finally emerged from the back room, her screaming done. She was still smiling while she walked to Sierra. Sarah and Megan were excited with her for a minute and then went to the back to change. Everyone chilled for ten minutes, then the guests poured in and work started.

Sierra sighed, the girls at this school (as usual) were not very... happy with the new "exchange students" Sarah was walking past when Sierra sighed and gave her a sad smile as if to say, I know right? It wasn't just the fact that the rich girls hear were cold to began with, Kyoya knew, it was the fact that they had no tolerance of new comers... especially poor ones that were competition for the host club's hearts. Already there had been three spilled tea cups (Which never happened before Whitney and the others came) and two fallen cakes that had to cleaned up, to Honey's distress. Sierra was walking past Honey's table when a girl who happened to be sitting there got an evil glint in her eye, and she shot out a leg.

Sierra went crashing down, her hands catching her fall. Mori quickly was there to help her up.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." She gave a passive look at the girl who tripped her, who was now focusing on her tea.

"...just tripped that's all." She curtsied to Mori then picked up her (thank god) empty sliver tray that she had dropped. Honey had been laughing with the guests at his table just a moment before she fell, and now he was wide eyed. He held out his hand to her, and slip of paper inside.

"Here Sierra-chan, you dropped this," He smiled at her.

Sierra had her silver platter under one arm and looked a bit confused, she started to say but, but then she realized he was giving her something. She took the paper and Honey nodded, turning back to the girls. Mori returned to his seat. Sierra, dazed, walked away a short distance, then opened the paper and read the short message.

"Meet me in the courtyard after host club is over"
