Hey guys! This is part one of the twin's fight, so sometime soon I'll be uploading part two! Now I hope you sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

It was one of the times Ren was actually requesting the twins, (they insisted,) and she saw the hats right before they put them on.

"Let's all play the Which One is Hikaru Game! Many ladies have tried to tell us apart, but so far none have succeeded!" Ren cleared her throat intentionally, and they winked at her.

"That's the dumbest game I've ever heard of." Haruhi grumbled, walking by.

"What? Have you got a problem with it Haruhi?"

"Not really, I just don't understand why the two of you are so popular."

"That's not very nice. I'm disappointed." Hikaru said with mock disdain. Kaoru nodded along with his brother, then spoke as well. "Apparently you don't understand the merits of having a pair of twins as members of the host club."

"Having a couple of good looking guys with homosexual tendencies earns the club high points. It also helps if the two struggle between their attraction and friendship. And in our case, because we're twins our relationship is taboo, and therefore more intriguing."

They leaned down, faces right next to a girl sitting nearby on opposite sides. "And besides, who hasn't fantasized about twins? Having two loves is better than one, don't you think? It's a woman's romantic fantasy."

"Well, um, yeah, you're right! I can't take it!" Why does she have hearts in her eyes over that…?

Ren just sighed. "I gotta disagree with you there buddy."

"Oh? Do tell, Renny!"

Before she could, Tamaki ran over shouting their names and talking about the website.

Weird, she didn't get uncomfortable watching this on a screen, why is now different…?

"I can promise neither the twins nor Haruhi would do something like that. Give them more credit, Prince." She spat, before stomping out of the club room to sit against the wall.

...and immediately regretted it.

The door slam echoed, and she began to spiral.

Why did she have to keep acting on emotions? Getting on Tamaki's bad side means getting on almost everyone's bad side. What if they never let her back in the club room to support Hikaru and Kaoru? What if the twins themselves don't want to be friends anymore? Frustrating at times they may be, they were still her only friends... Fuck, she was so stupid.

It was probably about five minutes before she heard the door open and footsteps coming down the hall.

"Not your best move, in my opinion. Still, it was something that happened because you were defending three other members of the club, so I'll let it slide. You do bring business, even if you aren't truly interested in the host club." Gee, thanks Kyoya. So kind.

"...Does that mean I can still go to the club?" She mumbled, hand clutching her sleeve.

"Yes, yes it does. I'm assuming you've calmed down by now, so shall we?"

Ren nodded, and they walked back in just in time to hear Kaoru start laughing at Hikaru.

"Sorry Hikaru, I don't mean to laugh," Kaoru said, before doing exactly that.

"Well I don't see what's so funny. I'm honest, I speak my mind, and I don't hold back. It's sneaky people like Kaoru who are the troublemakers." Hikaru replied in annoyance.

"Don't turn this on me Hikaru. After all, I'm the one who's always going along with all of your selfish games."

"I may suggest them, but you're the one who really gets into them Kaoru. If you hate it so much then why don't you just stop."

"Because I'd hate to see you make an ass of yourself in front of everyone. It was your idea to call Haruhi our toy, but I noticed you were quick to make a pass at her. Admit it Hikaru, you're actually in love with Haruhi, aren't you."

Hikaru sputtered, his face turning red as he desperately tried not to make eye contact with anyone except his brother.

Ren ignored the twisting in her gut.

"You've got it all wrong, Kaoru! Man, you're such a freaking idiot! Why would I fall for her, I mean she looks like a tanuki!"

There was a loud sound, almost like an engine or motor. Then, the manager's voice was heard loud and clear. "Our beloved Haruhi is in the middle of a beautiful yet poignant four-sided romantic relationship. And to make it even more exciting, two of Haruhi's admirers are twins torn apart by love! Just the thought of it could make me eat three bowls of rice!"

"Renge, but I thought you had feelings for Haruhi as well?" Tamaki asked curiously.

"Oh I do, but I have no problem with Haruhi having a homosexual relationship on the side."

Ren just existed in the background, not wanting to pay attention any more. Why did she feel so… listless? Disappointed? It was strange, but it left a pit in her stomach.

"Cut it out already! You're the one who's always crawling into my bed, talk about annoying!"

"I only do that cause you look lonely! I wouldn't choose to sleep in your bed you idiot!"

"Who are you calling an idiot! You're the one who sucks at math!"

"Oh yeah? Well you're failing your foreign language class, you big dummy!"

"The way you grind your teeth is definitely-!"

"At least I don't toss and turn so much that I fall out of bed!"

"YOUR MOMMA WEARS TOO MUCH MAKEUP! THAT'S IT, WE'RE OVER!"

Something was, at least. The door closed again, Ren having left as swiftly as she came.

"I don't know, dad. They seemed really intent on saying hurtful things and I just… I couldn't deal with them insulting each other anymore." Ren sniffled, holding an arm over her face to shield her tears.

"I understand, sweetheart. Do you think you could talk one on one with them, see what's going on? If not, and you need to stay home tomorrow, I will completely clear my schedule and we can take a day trip." Yuji Kamiya promised, patting her head gently.

She smiled, as much as she could while crying. "I think… I think I'll be alright. I need to face them again some time, right?" Ren laughed bitterly. "God, you'd think I wouldn't break when they're fighting, yet here I am, broken." Her voice cracked, and she leaned into the hug offered by her dad.

"They're your friends, pain in the asses they can be, but you care about them. No matter how much I want to pummel them for making you cry, I know that it's not what you'd want. Now," He looked her in the eyes seriously. "Are you sure you'll be okay?"

"Nope. Not in the slightest. I'm… I'm scared. That they'll yell at me too. I never told them it's not something I can handle well yet, after, you know…" She shifted uncomfortably, and Yuji pulled her into another hug.

"I know, Ren. I know."

"...thanks dad."

When he left, she finally looked at the phone that buzzed several times while she had been chauffeured home.

Haiku cause i can't spell: hey

Haiku cause i can't spell: you alright?

Haiku cause i can't spell: ren?

She sighed, checking the texts from the other twin.

Orange a tang: renny

Orange a tang: how're you doing?

Orange a tang: please respond…

The telling sting of tears trying to come out made her close her phone. She'd… talk to them tomorrow.

Probably.

Renny ain't doin so well, huh. Welp, please tell me your thoughts on the chapter! Thanks for reading!
