Ryo sat in the meeting room 1 with the other white club members and looked over the papers that she had printed up to help Kyouya. She looked up as he started talking. "In any case, let's study the data of both the red and the white team's members. One's physical ability is of associated to one's personality. It is necessary to investigate if there were any changes during club activities even the reason of up and down in results."

"It looks like the red team is filled with the more spirited, exited people... Like Tamaki-Sempai." Ryo said reading over the list.

The class president for 2-A spoke up. "However Kyouya-Kun, how can they be related to the match?"

"Excuse me for my impoliteness student council president. But if we don't study the data as much as possible then in terms of athletic power, the red team had a greater advantage."

"Ootori-Kun, about this, have you thought up a plan to beat these spirited guys?" A girl asked.

Ryo looked up as he answered. "Yeah. It aims at fully using the opponent's weaknesses."

"Well, isn't it mean? As expected of Kyouya-Kun." A girl laughed.

"It's not mean. It's strategy." Ryo said calmly.

"It's how we plan to win." Luc nodded. "I trust Kyouya-Sempai to led us to victory." She looked over at Kaoru who seemed to be almost in a daze.

Ryo blinked looking over as two of the members where whispering and Honey walked over to them. "What's wrong...? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to eat some cake...?"

"Haninozuka!" They gasped shocked. "No... We are in the middle of a meeting after all..."

"Then do you want my Usa-Chan...?"

"No... I don't really want a bunny..."

"Then, how about doing an intensive training right now?" Honey's face and voice darkened. "Idling guys have to run 50 laps around the field!" Honey yelled chasing half the club out of the room.

"Wait up Honey!" Tsukiko grinned following.

Kyouya looked up finding the room almost empty. The student class president, Kaoru, Luc, and a few other guys and one girl and Ryo still sat there. "Aren't you going to train?" He asked turning to Ryo.

"I'm not a big runner... But I figured I could help you organize all the notes and figure out who is the biggest competition." Ryo smiled.

Kyouya nodded and handed her some papers.

After a moment Kyouya turned to her. "The contests where we have to secure points are the bread eating contest and the last relay. And the contests after the cheer-leading contest which is in the middle of the program."

"We just need to be organized." Ryo smiled calmly.

"Do we really have to do so much work?" Luc asked bored.

"If they selected the wrong members, there is a high probability that we earn a lot of points in the tug of war. It is where we can make the most points." Kyouya continued. "Especially the contests after the cheer-leading contest."

"What do we do with the cheer-leading contest Kyouya-Sempai?" One of the guys asked.

"There was cheer-leading contests that took place in one of the pictures featuring sports festivals in normal schools. Let's refer to it. A cheer-leading contest in itself doesn't yield points."

"It's all about just encouraging the participants." Ryo said calmly. "That is unless it's changed since I went to school."

"Oh that's right... You went to a normal school." Kyouya nodded. "So what about the cheer-leading contest?"

"It was just a small show of encouragement. It never does give points." Ryo nodded.

"Kaoru can you take care of it?" Kyouya asked calmly.

"OK!" Koaru nodded. "Luc want to help me?"

"Sure." She nodded.

"Eh... But, Ootori..." One of the guys blinked. "Is it okay to take it this simply? There is Suoh on the red team after all... He will certainly do something extremely showy."

"Like I said, the Red team will uselessly put strength in the cheer-leading contest. They don't think of efficiently using their physical strength. As a consequence, they will wear themselves out more and more during the following contests. I can see a lot of difficulties for them."

Ryo paused wondering if that was true. "But knowing Tamaki, won't that just get him more fired up... He seems to have pools of energy."

"Not everyone is as crazy as he is though." Luc pointed out.

"True..."

"Yes, let's teach that idiot that we can't win by only doing whatever we like." Kyouya smirked.

Ryo smiled. "I guess we'd better figure out which teams to be on then."

"You would do well on the bread eating contest Ryo." Kyouya said calmly. "After all you know your ingredients, as a cook."

Ryo nodded. "Sign me up for that then." She flushed slightly at Kyouy's complement.

Ryo paused as she watched the girls run around like crazy. They were shouting something about buy a new club thing with images of Kyouya and Tamaki when they were still talking to each other. She paused worried about Kyouya. Is he doing this all so he can just get more views and money for the club... No... I think there is something more to this. She headed towards the club room. She paused outside hearing Kyouya and Kaoru's voice.

"The number of accesses to the club's homepage have doubled. We have to frequently reprint the unprocessed pictures collection. What great timing!"

"Ah.. the sales are doing well." Kyouya said calmly.

"Wait it can't be that you set up a fight with Milord so that sales would increase!" Koaru's voice gasped shocked. Ryo paused listening. She wanted to hear his answer.

"How rude!" Kyouya said calmly. "I'm really angry at him, you know. Though, there are some unexpected side effects. We indeed make profits but it is only because of luck."

Ryo paused. So he didn't plan this... Wow... Kyouya-Sempai... She flushed clutching at her chest. Her heart was beating really fast.

Koaru continued. "But, however I look at it, Milord is so pitiable! In the first place, why are you so angry about this, Kyouya-Sempai? I don't get it. It seems that others have started a rumor about Milord would leave the vice chief position on the red team."

Ryo paused. I doubt Tamaki would ever do that... He's too nosy. She paused as Kaoru continued.

"Sure, Milord is wrong about this, but his stupid self-satisfying plans aren't anything new."

"I agree."

"He may be the worst for using you as a pretext but he didn't have any ill intentions."

"I agree."

"So, I'm sure all this time Milord couldn't stand Kuze-Sempai misunderstanding you."

"I agree."

"So, he made this sports festival so that Kuze-Sempai could know you better! He did it for your sake!"

Ryo paused. That was true... But he went about it in the wrong way... She sighed.

"Eh? You agree?" Kaoru said.

"This is indeed his way of thinking." Kyouya said calmly.

"Eh... In that case, why are you angry?"

"Like I said it is just unnecessary meddling." Kyouya said calmly and Ryo blinked. "I don't care what Kuze-Sempai thinks about me, but I have to participate in this sports festival which won't give me any merit. That is highly troublesome. It's fine if he holds bad judgments without trying to get to know me... The real point is... Letting just the ones who want to understand me know my real self. Isn't it good enough."

Ryo froze. Kyouya-Sempai... She smiled. He's so sweet. She got up and walked off flushed. I really do love you Kyouya-Sempai... I'm going to work so the White team wins for you. She smiled and started jogging.
