Hikaru and Umehito exchanged glances, Hikaru looking hurt, and Hito looking just plain confused.
"Kiamai, I think you made everyone very confused," said Hunny.
"I think you're right," I said apologetically, as I got up off the floor and took in the surprised expressions of the uninvited guests.
"Two love struck princes, but only one princess…This calls for a duel!" exclaimed Tamaki.
"A duel? What the heck kind of idea is that?!" I responded.
"Well…why don't we have a different kind of duel, so no one gets hurt?" suggested Kaoru, obviously more interested in the issue now that it had become a game.
"It seems that there's no arguing with you guys anyway, so…Oh! I know. How about karaoke?"
"Splendid! Karaoke is one of my favorite commoner activities," said Tamaki gleefully.
That night, we met at a karaoke lounge, owned by Kyoya's family. (What don't they own?)
"I have compiled a list of some of Kiamai's favorite songs, well, the ones that contain the least screaming," announced Kyoya.
Ha, that must have taken some work.
"So Hikaru, Nekozawa, and anyone else who would like to make a fool of himself, please come choose what you are going to sing,".
I sat on a comfortable chair, next to Hunny, who was eating cake, though I'm not sure where it came from. "Oh, where's Takashi?" I questioned, looking around.
"Hm…I think he said he would get me more cake?" He said, uninterested.
I turned to Kaoru, who was also watching as Neko, Hikaru, and an eager Tamaki were looking through a list on stage.
"I wonder how this will turn out," he sighed.
"Well, I wasn't really into the whole contest over me thing, but hey, why not? The attention's nice, and I like karaoke anyway," I laughed.
"No, you see, Hikaru has never really…liked anyone. Well, besides Haruhi. But that seems to be an ongoing issue for more than one of us…"
"Hm. Hey, why does Haruhi always skip out on all this stuff anyway? Aw, I'll bet she doesn't like me. D:" I said with a comical pout.
"Ha. I don't know. I think we all just haven't bothered to find a way to sabotage her plans lately, so she's taking advantage of the free time."
The three 'contestants' cleared the stage, and Kyoya readied the music and microphone. First up was an enthusiastic Tamaki. He took the mic and began to sing. Not terrible, but I've seen better. I recognized it as "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional.
Psst..here's a link if you've never heard this song: .com/watch?v=epHN4uSHox0
Eh, not bad. He's not part of the competition really, so I guess it doesn't make much of a difference anyway. *Clap clap*
Next was Hikaru. Damn, is he cute. "Northern Downpour" by Panic At The Disco. Ah, good choice. *Author's note: Panic at The Disco is the greatest band in existence.

It received lots of applause for being an awesome song, and he was better than I expected. Then it was Nekozawa. I have no idea what he could have chosen.
The music started, and I saw that he had chosen a sweet song by Alesana. (All Night Dance Parties in The Underground Palace).

He finished, and I realized it would be a very tough decision. He left the stage, and I expected it to be finished when someone else walked onstage. More music started, and I recognized the person as….Mori?! Mori, who hadn't said a word since I'd met this group, was going to sing? And at that, he was singing "Fever" by Family Force 5.

He began singing, rapping, dancing, and whatever else the song required. I was in shock. But partly because he was…amazing! Hunny held his fork in mid-bite, and the others watched in shock/confusion as he continued.
The music ended, and Mori walked off silently. I nearly fell of my chair.
"Wow." I said, breaking the awkward silence that had swept the room. Then everyone applauded. "Um, Kyoya, I think I know who won."
"Indeed…" he said, nodding in amazement.
