Disclaimer: I own nothing

"What are you doing here?"

Kyouya closed his notebook, easily hearing the irritation and apprehension in Kagome's voice, "Why nothing, Higurashi-san," He smiled in his usual sharp way, "I am simply watching the elementary's soccer division practise. They are the best in their league, after all."

"You..." Kagome scowled deeply, having saw Kyouya's eyes staring at at one particular person and it set off alarm bells in her head, "You were watching my little brother!" She accused.

"Ah, yes," Kyouya's glasses flashed, "Higurashi Souta, who is only ten-years-old and a new student, is already the star of the Soccer Club," He stated, "I simply wanted to come and see."

Kagome stared wide-eyed for a moment, "Why?!" She demanded, "He should be of no interest to you! Did Suoh-senpai put you up to this?!"

"No interest?" Kyouya's brow rose, "Why do you think that?" He asked, staring down at her with an expression she did not like, "I may be in the high school's Soccer Club division."

"You?" Kagome gave the male a closer look before clearly dismissing something, "No, you're not," She narrowed her eyes, "You would be more fit if you were," She scoffed, "And I know Suoh-senpai is certainly not in the Soccer Club."

"That is a harsh assessment," Kyouya looked irritated for a brief moment, not quite sure if Kagome was insulting his body or not, "But you are correct."

"I already know," Kagome huffed, "What I want to know is why you were looking at my little brother for," Her tone grew dangerous, "It's not going to look good for you if I go to the faculty members, that you were ogling ten-year-olds."

"And what makes you think they will take your side over mine?" Kyouya asked bluntly and Kagome resisted the urge to punch him in his pretty face, "After all, you are a commoner."

It was simply a fact.

He was rich and she was not, and in this era of time, money meant power and not one's ability to fight with swords and bows – not like the era she was forced to leave behind.

"Then I'll just take you down, here and now," Kagome's tone was dark and held promise and Kyouya stiffened, "I see no bodyguards around."

"Fighting is strictly prohibited," Kyouya adjusted his glasses, not liking how it looked as though Kagome was going to pull a move, "You will be expelled."

"Doesn't matter," Kagome retorted, "If it's for my brother, then..." She let out a choked noise, feeling herself being pulled back into a familiar chest, "Suoh-senpai, let go!" She growled.

"I'm sorry, my little bird!" Tamaki cried, hugging the struggling girl tightly as an (unwanted) apology, "I told Kyouya not to come here! That the little chick should be left alone until you approved it!"

"Don't call my little brother a 'chick', you freak!" Kagome, despite her anger, noted Kyouya's name, "And stop with the 'little bird' crap! My name is either Higurashi or Kagome."

She honestly could not stand be called anything other than her names anymore.

Tamaki gasped dramatically, "Ah, Kagome, you should not use such foul language," He was unable to hold Kagome in his embrace any longer as she broke free, "It's unbecoming of anyone."

"I could care less," Kagome huffed, "I don't know why your friend, 'Kyouya', is here, but don't think I won't hurt you both if you have some sort of sick plan." She said darkly.

"Duly noted," Kyouya, honestly, did not doubt Kagome's word and the look in her eye had him tense for reasons he did not know as it held something... wild to it, "I was simply curious of the family of the one who has captured Tamaki's eye. Your lineage is quite impressive." He did admit that much at least.

"I tried to act civil, but this is going too far," Kagome sneered at the half-assed apology, if that what it even was, "Suoh-senpai and Kyouya-senpai, don't come near me again."

Tamaki held his hand to his mouth and Kagome stared at him wide-eyed when it actually looked as it tears clung to the corners of his violet eyes, "Please, forgive me and Kyouya!" He bowed, panicking internally, "Kyouya didn't mean any harm! We are genuinely curious of your family! We would like to pay our respects at your family shrine soon enough!" After all, the paternal side of his family and Kyouya's family were firm believers in Shintoism, regardless of the fact that they were wealthy.

Kyouya glanced away, not sure what the uncomfortable feeling that was bubbling up inside him, perhaps at Tamaki's sincere apology, or Kagome's threat of bodily harm, or did he actually feel a slight guilt at using Kagome's brother when she already had a hard enough time at Ouran?

However, those thoughts were pushed aside quickly enough when a young boy's voice called out and Kagome absolutely froze at the sound of it.

"Nee-chan?"
