"Natsuko." called a familiar voice behind her. Natsuko was just about to finish the last sum on her math's homework when Kyoya's voice interrupted her calculation.
"Kyoya. Aren't you supposed to be going off somewhere, calculating your profitable claim in your Host Club business? What do you want?" Natsuko said, clearly annoyed at his presence.
"I would like to forewarn you. Relationships outside of marriage are strictly taboo." He said, looking at her through his glasses that shined in the sunlight.
"But we're not even married yet, so what's the point?" She said, not really paying attention to him.
"I'm saying, that you should think of the consequences if your parents knew." He said, leaning towards her. She just glared at him, as if trying to say; Go away. I don't have time for you. But it seemed he didn't get the message, because he still stood there, smiling away. Tamaki has sensed the unnerving tension growing between those two, as did everyone else in the class. Tamaki decided he would go and cool down the growing heat between the two.
"Ahem, what a lovely day today, don't you agree?" He said, suddenly appearing on the left side of Natsuko's table. Both Kyoya and Natsuko looked at him with a blank stare. Running out of ideas he suddenly came out with an idea, and the look appeared all over his face. "Natsuko! How about it? Would you like to come and visit the Host Club today? I'm sure Kyoya would be pretty free today! Eheheh…" He stopped to look at Kyoya's expression, which seemed to be a look of annoyance.
Natsuko thought for a moment to think. "Well, actually I agreed with the twins I'd meet up with them today…" She said, putting the pencil to her lip.
"Don't get jealous now, Kyoya…" Tamaki joked, looking at Kyoya with a happy face. But in return, he got a glare from Kyoya and Natsuko.
"What are you trying to imply?" They both said with evilness in their eyes.
I guess great minds think alike… No wonder they're perfect for each other... in a way... scary. Tamaki said, returning to his seat, feeling somewhat scared.
Natsuko stood outside the Third Music Room. Oh, how she was seething with such rage! Taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door. This was it.
"Welcome!" The Hosts said, but stopped after they realized Natsuko was standing there. She seemed… angry. Everyone suddenly got terrified, including some of the customers. Kyoya however remained calm, as usual.
"HIKARU! KAORU! I'LL KILL YOU GUYS!" Natsuko said, as she entered the Third Music Room.
"Ahhh? What are you talking about? Let's go have a seat and some tea shall we?" Kaoru said, pointing to a table on his right. Natusko gave a heavy sigh, and approached the table she was assigned to. She sat down with a loud; THUMP!
"So, how may we serve you today?" the twins said as they took a seat around her.
"I want to know… how Kyoya knew… about Nekozawa. Did you tell him or something?!" She said, in a harsh whisper, looking at Hikaru.
"Huh? What do you mean he knows?! We never even told him a word!" Kaoru said, leaning closer to get more information.
"Maybe he followed you… you know… like a stalker…" Hikaru said, also leaning closer to get more info at what happened.
"Could you guys keep your distance? You're scaring me." Natsuko said, sweat trickling down her forehead.
"Hm? And what might be so interesting here?" Kyoya said, putting a hand on Natsuko's head.
What does he want know? Isn't bothering me enough at his place enough already?! Natsuko thought frantically.
"Apparently not, because I love to please you in my own ways…" He whispered into her ears, as he leaned closer into her. The twins simply looked back and forth at Kyoya and Natsuko, as if they didn't know what was going on.
Haruhi and Hunny watched on as the couple began arguing, and the twins… somehow getting themselves involved for the fun of it.
"Those two sure must enjoy arguing a lot. I can't imagine what will happen if they get married… I wonder if they argue a lot at home too…" Haruhi said, in somewhat awe at the calmness of Kyoya and the hot-temper of Natsuko. as she watched them bicker, as usual.
"Well, I think they're perfect for each other!" Hunny said, munching away a piece of cake.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Haruhi asked, not really getting Hunny.
"Well, even if Kyoya is good at hiding it, he really cares for Natsuko, you know. That's why he can get somewhat jealous when she's around Nekozawa." Hunny said, pausing to gobble another slice of cake.
"Then… what about…"
"Natsuko and Kyoya are childhood friends. Even if Natsuko might hate Kyoya, but they still manage to keep their friendship." Mori said, in his usual monotonous tone. Haruhi just stared at the both of them. She absolutely did not get what they were talking about.
"Let's make it simpler, Haru-chan! You see, Kyoya actually does like Natsuko, although, Natsuko doesn't seem to like him back just yet. Maybe she knows, but she just won't accept it, see?" Hunny said, giving a big smile.
"Hmmm… I guess your right, but then… Nekozawa-senpai managed to get in the circle…" Haruhi said, deep in thought.
"That's right, but then again, you never know what might happen! Ally the need is time! Here, have more cake, Haru-chan!!" Hunny said, giving Haruhi another slice. She just watched on at the two couple arguing away, as Kyoya kept trying to calm Natsuko down, and Natsuko denying his attempts.
Maybe Hunny was right. Maybe all they needed was time.
