This chapter is in Kaoru's POV and the song is All Because Of You by Puffy AmiYumi :)

"Um…yes," I almost stutter once more as I rack my brain for any debt or favour I have yet to return.

Kyoya-sempai can be quite (and annoyingly so) persistent when you owe money or whatnot. He is quick and calculating and can keep a grudge like no one's business. It is admirable, I suppose if I weren't on the receiving end of his icy cool voice of which he is notorious (and adored) for amongst his clients.

"You see, a certain orange haired brother of yours is becoming far too touchy friendly with a certain tomboy whom has yet to pay off half of her debt," he utters smoothly.

Phew. And here I was thinking that he was still somewhat angry about that time I split my latte on his book bag.

"And you see, Kaoru, you cannot refuse your assistance as you have yet to repay the damages caused when you split that venti cup of latte on my book bag. You merely strode away as if you were not wholly responsible…"

And there it is. For a moment there, I thought that Kyoya-sempai would be uncharacteristically merciful and simply forget that sorry event.

Bastard.

Apologies for my foul language, I am merely steaming (similar to that cup of latte of which I never got to fully enjoy).

However, I do have a trump card to play around with…

"I would love to Kyoya-sempai but I am afraid that I am already preoccupied with my own plan for world domination by which I am trying to make Hikaru and Haruhi realise that they are hot for one another," I reply cheekily, the mischievous tone in my voice failing to hide my triumph.

I hear a practically inaudible gasp on the other line.

Perhaps I have shocked the unflappable?

For some unknown reason, I feel rather smug at the present moment. That is a first. Usually, Hikaru is the one whom is the instigator of our plans and I merely follow in his footsteps but now I have stepped out from his shadow.

"So you are taking the initiative on this project, Kaoru-san, I can't quite hide my surprise but you have earned my respect. If this pussyfooting as you phrased it were to continue for even a mere week, I am not sure that I could keep my cool."

Wait, is Kyoya-sempai high? I have never ever heard him even indirectly praise someone. I grin suddenly. This is awesome!

I have never employed the use of such street jargon before but now that I have, I must admit that it feels cool.

Growing up with such wealthy parents (albeit without the presence of my dad), you are practically expected to appear as if you have swallowed a thesaurus from birth. It isn't often that I can escape the shadow of my class.

I contemplate on if I were to crack my knuckles at this moment, would it be appropriate but seconds later, I toss that thought aside so carelessly like a basketball through a hoop (though I have never played!)

"Thank you Kyoya-sempai-"

Darn that was rather awkward.

"-so I have already organised all the schemes for when we visit my home in the Bahamas shortly, and I do believe that you will find them intriguing!"

Mere seconds pass before Kyoya speaks again.

"I see that I have taught you indirectly. I am impressed. Care to tell me what you plan to do?"

"I am afraid Kyoya-sempai that is for me to know and for you to find out," I reply audaciously.

I swear that I can almost sense his infamous smirk.

"Very well. Roger, out."

I had terrible writer's block all this week in relation to this chapter. I couldn't phrase this chapter as I wanted and it was driving me insane. So I drank a lot of Starbuck lattes and voilá!

Please read and review! :)
