While I don't exactly have the permission of Kira-kun to do this…

And no doubt he may want my head after he hears of this as well…

I'm not going to sit around noting with increasing annoyance as that Tsukimori Len equals and exceeds me… no, what am I thinking? He'll never be better than me! Never!

Etou Kiriya sat cross-legged on a business chair in his room, looking ever-so-slightly exhausted from the call he had initiated. Seeing Amou-san from Seisou's Newspaper Club close to being completely gaga after her kiss with Ootori-san, towards realizing that he could take the situation and turn it into a game of his own.

One where I would be seen by Hino Kahoko as the better man for her.

As soon as he had met her he was unimpressed by the playing, yet also wondering how she was able to portray her emotions in her music. Time and time again, as he spied on her and coincidentally met her in a number of places, he realised how kind she was and how maybe his initial opinion had been wrong…

And then I realised how much I liked her.

He leaned into the business chair, closing his eyes and dreaming of the upcoming dates he would have with Hino Kahoko.

Because a guy like Ootori Kyouya would rather be selfish than hated by the one he likes.

After the sudden interruption by Kyouya, the two girls had finally finished off their dinner and were going to lie in front of the TV watching drama series.

"Ne, Haruhi…"

Haruhi turned over to Kahoko and raised her eyes.

"What is it, Kaho? I can call you Kaho, right?"

Kahoko smiled briefly, before becoming solemn again.

"Of course you can, Haruhi! I just… do you think Kyouya will be able to bring back Nami and save me like he says?"

Haruhi smiles.

No one should ever underestimate Kyouya when he's mad. As the third son of the Ootori family, I know how much stress he's under to supposedly underperform, but this is his chance to shine.

"I trust Kyouya will do it."

Kyouya had taken the time on the way back in his car to ring up all the Host Club members for an urgent meeting in the club room tomorrow morning.

Thankfully, all of them knew by now that they shouldn't question him if he called a meeting – he rarely did, and almost none of them were done on the spur of the moment like this one was.

While I did promise that I'd get Nami back and Kahoko home… I wonder… if I'll really be able to do it.

He shook his head in irritation.

You're an Ootori, Kyouya. You will do something about this, and you will make him pay for getting on your nerves.

He decided on the spur to call Nami.

Maybe he hasn't taken her yet. That'd be funny, if it was…

Nami nearly dropped the phone in panic and shock as she saw who it was from.

Kyouya? Wha-?

She hit the receive button and shakily brought the phone to her ear.

"Y-yes, Kyouya?"

You really can't expect me not to be able to spy that you're trying to get to her, Ootori? Stupid, you'd need to try better than that.

Etou grinned to himself as he muted Kyouya's cell phone and instead put himself on the phone.

"Nami, did you enjoy our date today?"

Kyouya raised his eyes in panic as he heard his own voice through the phone.

What in the world is?

The phone in the car suddenly rang, and he picked it up.

"Kyouya-sama, someone's tapped your call and has taken over it."

WHAT? THAT DARNED ETOU BRAT!

He gritted his teeth and slammed the receiver of the car phone down, instead trying to listen to what Etou is saying to Nami in his place…

Etou snickers as he hears a slam on Kyouya's side. That reporter girl was explaining all the aspects of the date and saying how much she enjoyed it…

Well, time for me to become a bad guy.

"Nami, I've got a car in front of your house. Did you want to join me for a late dinner?"

Nami blushed.

"H..hai…. I would love to join you for dinner, Kyouya…"

She looked outside her house and really did see a car outside.

When did it get here, and how did I not know about it?

Kyouya gritted his teeth again.

If you're not going to play fair, I won't; either.

He picked up the car phone and called the driver.

"I want you to go to Nami Amou's house as fast as you can."

Kaoru and Hikaru were sitting in their room when they realised something.

Maybe… Nami-san might not have been taken yet? So if we get there, maybe we can get her to safety and help Kyouya?

Hikaru was the first to stand up.

"Come on, Kaoru. Let's help Kyouya."

Kaoru smiled, and stood up as well.

The pair of them left the room, headed into a Hitacchin limousine which was waiting outside, and directed it to Nami Amou's place.

Thankfully, we did look up on the internet and find out her address – otherwise we'd be screwed!

Hikaru grinned back at Kaoru, reading his thoughts.

Etou couldn't help but smile again at the typical reaction Ootori-san had.

You won't be able to get to her house in time, Ootori. But it would be interesting to see you squirm to try…

"I also arranged for clothes for you which are in the car. I thought you might not have anything appropriate or may be worried…"

Nami marveled at his thoughtfulness.

Wa, Kyouya's so cool! He even bought me clothes!

But… how did he know my size?

"Wait… how did you know my size?"

Kyouya mentally pumped a fist in the air.

That's right! I don't know Nami's size… but I probably should for future.

You won't be able to get away with trying to do this on my call, Etou.

Etou mentally backtracked for a moment.

"I asked Kahoko about it"

It actually feels right to use and say her name… Kahoko…

Nami smiled.

Of course he did… I was an idiot to worry.

She looked outside the window again and stared puzzled by the fact that she was seeing double…

"Ano… why can I see another car in front of my house?"

Kyouya said he only brought a car… so whose car is the second?
