----------------------------------------------

After about a half hour of playing, all of the property was owned and a few houses were up. Be it as it may that Tamaki was the birthday boy, but the Twins were rather realistic, this was more of Kyoya's field, so to make the most of their fun, their entire goal in playing was to get Tamaki out. After a few business deals, mostly amongst themselves, they both had control of a strip of land and promptly built it up with houses.

Kyoya, being Kyoya, was the first to modify the rules and after a few prosperous deals, had negotiated partial rent fees for various properties that weren't his, in this deal was a no rent agreement with the twins in order to obtain Park Avenue until Tamaki was out. Haruhi mainly rolled her eyes during these proceedings.

It was two more rounds of rolls before Tamaki was forced out by the Twins and Kyoya's deal. With the King out of the race, they proceeded into merger negotiations with Kyoya, but in the end Kyoya only managed to buy the property from Hikaru, while Haruhi got Kaoru to sell her his property. With their sudden departure from the game, they decided to amuse themselves some more with Tamaki and planning on how to corner Haruhi with their camera.

Not to be outdone by their competitors, Hunny and Mori went into their own negotiations with no rent agreements and cake. However, this didn't last very long after Hunny landed on one of Kyoya's more expensive properties, causing him to lose most of his money. Mori, sensing Hunny's distress, ended up giving Hunny all of his assets and removing his piece from the board.

A few more rounds went in relative peace, with Kyoya, Haruhi, and Hunny exchanging money with properties and barely managing to escape the others more expensive properties. Determined to get Haruhi out of the running, Kyoya went into a business deal with Hunny. Unfortunately for Hunny, he landed on Haruhi's most expensive property, which lead to him losing most of his finances. After another turn, Hunny was out of the game and it was down to Kyoya vs Haruhi.

Surprisingly to Kyoya, Haruhi managed to hold her own pretty well for another 20 minutes of playing.

Though she'd been able to escape Kyoya's properties in the past, she happened to land on one of his Hotels, causing her to sell some of her other properties to pay him. And so as it goes, on Kyoya's next move, he landed on the square in which the properties were recently sold. He grinned as he handed over the small sum of brightly colored paper money.

This was it, now it was the devil's stretch. She needed to roll above a 7 to escape Kyoya's Hotel row. She shook the dice and rolled. The dice fumbled over each other.

The members of the host club leaned in to get a glimpse at the dice. The first one stopped rolling. It was a 3. The eyes quickly diverted to the next dice which tipped over to reveal pregnant pause a 4. There she was, smack dab on Park Place. It would haunt her the rest of the night why the dice couldn't have just been one point higher, but that's to be revealed later.

Kyoya grinned, "Nice Game"

Haruhi glared at Kyoya as he tidied up the pictures and put them in his folder.

Noticing the glare, Kyoya commented, "Don't worry, I won't ask for the picture just yet."

Haruhi wasn't worrying about that at all, and was also quite annoyed that he thought that.

Tamaki looked over his shoulder at this comment and then returned to his pose, still upset at the fact that he was the first one out, and that he was the only one who didn't have multiple copies of his Haruhi picture.

As Haruhi was putting the game away, the others were goading Tamaki into getting out of his dejected pose, there was a knock at the door. A maid walked in, bowed, and then told them that the cake was ready.

As soon as the word cake was mentioned, both Hunny and Tamaki brightened up. Tamaki leaped from his dejected pose, "To the dinning hall!" and ran out the door, two steps behind Mori, who was carrying a very excited Hunny. The rest of the club followed.

They sang and congratulated Tamaki on aging another year, cake was passed out and they sat around, eating and teasing Tamaki about his 'Bear'-y delicious cake. Of course, they couldn't ignore making those sort of puns, given the cakes acute alikeness to a certain stuffed animal of Tamaki's.

With their bellies full and their body sugared up, they were escorted to a different part of the house, it was a room that was converted into a giant bedroom. There were 5 King sized beds, formed in a circle with a stack of presents on a table in the middle.

"Ta da Here's where we'll be sleeping tonight! Isn't it wonderful?" exclaimed Tamaki.

"Um, why are there only five beds milord?" said the Twins, in unison.

"Well, we couldn't fit seven in here and this is the biggest room maids name would let me use tonight" and there was a glint in his eyes as Tamaki turned his head towards Haruhi. The other members, as much as for Tamaki's sake as it was for Haruhi's sake, quickly stepped in.

"I'll sleep with Mori then!" exclaimed Hunny, hugging Mori while Mori nodded.

"Yeah, and we'll share a bed," added the Twins.

"That leaves three beds. One for me, One for you, and One for Haruhi," noted Kyoya.

Tamaki looked a little sad at this, as he was hoping that it would force Haruhi to sleep with him.

:Entering Tamaki's Dream World:

Thunder and lightning shake the sky, the rest of the host club is sleeping peacefully. Haruhi clings to Tamaki as he wraps an arm around her.

"Tamaki..." Haruhi whispers in a girlish tone, slightly blushing as she clings to Tamaki.

"Yes Haruhi, I'm here." Tamaki replies, hugging her closer.

"...I don't feel afraid to sleep when you're here" Haruhi continues as she snuggles in and falls asleep.

:Exiting Tamaki's Dream world:

"Cheer up Tama! You still have to open presents!"
