A/N: When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a chemistry teacher that showed us how to make sulfur bombs (of course he also showed us the step by step process of making moonshine) and that is where I got the idea. He was voted favorite teacher by the students… can you guess why? I could always imagine the twins doing something like that and had to write about it. Enjoy!

FYI… I wanted to give all of you fair warning. I am going to be gone a good part of October. I am going to Comic Con in Virginia and will be staying with my sister for a couple weeks. About a week after I get back, I will be headed to the Mayo Clinic for a week. I will be updating, but it will be sporadic. Sorry about that, but it can't be helped. I will be back full time in November.

Chapter 4 – Wrestling With Chocolate Pudding

After the twins set off the sulfur bombs in the school, they decided once again to lay low. Of course that could have been because Kyoya had found proof that they were the ones that planted the horrific smelling devices and sufficiently punished them. Plus once the school realized what they had done, they had been suspended for a week (the school didn't want to offend the Hitachiin family too much). To the twins, it was a vacation; however, when they got back to school… well it still gave them shudders.

Flashback…

In order to make sure the twins learned their lesson, and to make up for lost profits due to their absence from the Host Club, Kyoya had arranged a suitable punishment… or two.

For the first stage of their punishment, the twins were given a little something to change into: a costume to host in if you will (and when I say little, I mean little). They were each handed a box and told to go change. Yells of denial and screams of shock could be heard coming from the back room.

"Are they okay in there Kyoya-senpai? What did you give them?" Haruhi asked her friend as she came to stand next to him. Since he was the one that handed the twins their "gifts", he would know exactly why Hikaru and Kaoru were creating such a loud commotion. Thankfully the Host Club doors had yet to open; the squawking might have sent the girls running the other way.

"Nothing of any consequence, Haruhi. I just handed them their costumes for the day. Based on the event we will be hosting for the ladies, they have exactly what they need," Kyoya cryptically spoke, pushing up his glasses before turning a smirking face upon the brunette next to him.

It could have been the gleam in his eyes… or more precisely his glasses since she couldn't actually see his eyes at that moment, but chills ran up the spine of the natural host as she sweat dropped and she suddenly wanted to be anywhere but there. However, she didn't flee like she should have and interrogated her friend further, "What exactly is today's event Kyoya-senpai?" Her words were hesitant and she prayed he wouldn't turn his wrath on her for asking, but none of them knew exactly what today's event was. They were all just told that they would be doing something special for the ladies and that he had hired a professional photographer. Kyoya-senpai spending money like that? It had to be something huge that would make a ton of money!

Smiling, the bespectacled man looked towards the doors again and stated, "It will be an unforgettable… treat."

"Kyo-Chan, is it dessert?" Hunny bounded up to the vice president, his cousin following closely behind.

Another cryptic response, "You could say that."

"Can I help to?" The Loli Shota host was excited, and if it had something to do with sweets and dessert, he wanted in.

Tamaki started to jump up and down, "ME TOO! ME TOO!"

Shaking his head, Kyoya explained, "Not this time, but I did set aside some pudding for Hunny-senpai in the kitchen."

"But mommy, I want to…"

"No. This is for the twins and the twins alone. Trust me when I say, you will not want to wear their cosplay outfits today," Kyoya scolded.

Dejected, Tamaki trudged over to his corner and started to grow mushrooms.

Pudding? Why would the Shadow King have pudding today? And what did he mean by treat and dessert? Haruhi's head was spinning with questions that were better left unspoken for now, although, she had a feeling the costumes and the pudding would be tied together by the end of the day. "I'm going to go make the tea," she muttered and left her friends standing there.

"Daddy will help!" Tamaki snapped out of his personal pity party and ran to follow the brunette.

She really didn't need or want the help, but she had a feeling if she sent Tamaki back to his corner of woe, Kyoya would say and do something about it. It was alright for him to do, but not her. Life in the Host Club was still way too skewed for her liking, but these were her friends and she wasn't going to give them up… and besides, here she could still be around Kyoya. Not that she would ever admit that she wanted to be around the crabby Shadow King. Why had she fallen for him of all people? Tamaki, Hunny, Mori, and the twins had much better personalities. Still there was a strength in Kyoya the others did have. He cared for his friends, but didn't want to act like it. He was good looking, as all the hosts were, however, he stayed in the background and allowed the others to shine. He wasn't overbearing, which means he didn't shove himself into her personal life like the others. And then there was the loneliness she could see in the depths of his eyes. He tried to hide it, but she could see it. It called out to her and she wanted to help him… help him what? Get rid of it? Be there for him? She could do that as a friend, and that is all she will ever be in his eyes, and yet, part of her craved more. Lifting her hand to her lips, she could still feel the heat of his lips pressed hard against hers, and she dreamed of it happening again. Stupid wants and dreams. That was never going to happen. Shaking her head, she started on her task, Tamaki shadowing her more than helping. She was used to that though.

Standing in front of the doors that lead to the changing rooms, Kyoya called out, "If you don't put on your outfits, I will hire Renge to help you change."

That particular threat seemed to do the trick and suddenly, the twins sounded more accepting of their fate. "NO!" They cried out together, their voices ringing through the music room like a choir of… well not angels.

"We're changing Kyoya-senpai!" Hikaru yelled. A gulp could be heard even outside the doors.

"See that you do, and quickly. It is almost time to open the doors," the Shadow King simpered.

It took about ten more minutes before the click of the lock could be heard from the door and it swung open. Standing in the open doorway was Hikaru, and behind him trying to hide behind him was Kaoru. They were both in speedos.

Exiting the kitchen with a tray laden with cake, Haruhi emptied it and then turned around to find her friends standing there, their faces glowing red, in two of the smallest bathing suits she had ever seen. The tray clattered to the floor, as did her jaw. She was stupefied.

"Um mommy, why are Hikaru and Kaoru only wearing underwear?" Tamaki questioned his friend, and then it dawned on him… Haruhi was looking at the twins when they weren't wearing any clothes! "NO! Don't look Haruhi. Daddy will protect you!" He tried to cover her eyes and then stood in front of her, blocking her view.

Kyoya pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and answered, "They are not in underwear. That is the latest in speedo fashion. They will be completing their hosting duties while donning the bathing suits and at the end of club, they will be wrestling each other in pudding. The girls will get to see skin and a show. It should be very entertaining."

"Don't you mean profitable senpai?" Haruhi muttered loud enough for the others to hear her. By some miracle, or maybe she was in shock, or maybe she didn't want to see her friends dressed thusly, she allowed Tamaki to continue shielding her.

His smile turned into more of a leer and his eyes narrowed. Looking over his shoulder, he said, "I do believe it will be profitable and possibly teach a couple of twins about planting stink bombs throughout the school."

"Weren't they already suspended?" Tamaki questioned, his head tilting to the side.

"Tamaki, how long did it take before you got rid of the smell?"

"A week."

"And that is all they were suspended for. They sat at home and did nothing, and probably acted like they were on vacation. I believe this is more fitting… don't you?"

Tamaki deadpanned. He didn't know what to say because in that moment, he was afraid of his best friend… again, "If-If you say so mommy."

"I do."

Hikaru and Kaoru wanted to protest, but they didn't know how to go up against the Shadow King. Taking in a deep breath, they wrapped their arms around each other and spoke up, "We will endure!" They had to because there was no other choice, and they would just add this to the reasons to get revenge later on. First the moments stolen with Haruhi, then the kiss, and now this! It wasn't to be born!

As the Host Club opened their doors and welcomed the girls, the other hosts tried to look anywhere but the two little devils. They just… couldn't. Haruhi did what she could to stay away as well, but when they grabbed her and started kissing her cheeks and calling her their toy, she had a hard time breaking away. First, she didn't know where to push and second, her arms were trapped. However, Kyoya came to her rescue by pulling her away from Hikaru and Kaoru before Tamaki could run up to them, and a glare from the Shadow King sent them scurrying back to their sections.

"Thank you senpai," Haruhi grinned, relieved to be free of her mostly naked friends and that it was Kyoya that had saved her. And then she wanted to slap him in the next instant.

"Stop provoking them Haruhi and get back to work. You may not have a debt this time around, but that doesn't mean you can slack off," Kyoya chastised and walked off towards his table. It had truly bothered him to see her caught in the twins' arms, and he didn't like feeling jealous.

Fuming, the twins turned the smiling faces towards the girls. They had seen the way Kyoya looked at Haruhi. Why was everything they did backfiring? Was this some twisted joke from fate? Karma coming to bite them in the ass? The list against Kyoya was growing.

The girls loved seeing Hikaru and Kaoru in their bathing suits, and the twins were felt up more times than they care to count. For such ladylike customers, the girls seemed to have a perverted side when faced with a host in a skimpy speedo. The bathing suits didn't leave much to the imagination. At the end of club time, the twins wrestled around in chocolate pudding and the girls were able to make bets on who one… as well as preorder their copy of pictures and video from the day. The profits even surpassed what Kyoya had been expecting by 43%.

End flashback…

They waited a month and then struck again. According to sources, the dance club would be practicing their tap routine today… and with Hikaru and Kaoru involved, it would be explosive.
