Hi! I wonder… will Kyoya agree to Akira's deal? Read on to find out!

Chapter 6

"I'm not going to do it," Kyoya said. "It's a waste of my time." It was lunch now, and Akira had brought up the subject again as soon as Tamaki had left to find Haruhi. She refused to let it go.

"Oh come on, I'm giving you information for your help!" Akira snapped. She sighed in exasperation at his silence and glared at his back, which he had so graciously turned towards her.

A sly smile grew slowly as she got an idea. "It could be very profitable for the club," she said.

"How so?" Kyoya turned to the girl suspiciously.

"Well, girls are all about boy love," Akira replied. "They'd love…"

"That's what the twins are for," Kyoya interrupted easily.

"No! That's a forbidden love between brothers," Akira insisted. "This would be pure love, and it's allowed and for everyone to see. Not many girls could resist. Trust me, I'm a girl! I know these things."

"I'll think about it." Kyoya wasn't too sure she was really that much of a girl. Or at least, a girl he could take Host Club advice from.

Akira rolled her eyes. He was so annoying. You just couldn't get a straight answer out of him.

Kyoya watched the girl out of the corner of his eye as she started mumbling to herself, smirking to himself. Helping her wouldn't hurt him any, and he needed that information. All his plans depended on it. But was getting the incredibly dense Tamaki and indifferent Haruhi together worth all the trouble? No, it wasn't.

"Fine. I'll do it." The words came out impulsively. He'd make this work… he had to.

"Kaoru?" Kimiko took advantage of Hikaru being gone to talk to Kaoru. She'd rather be sleeping, but Akira had asked her to do this for her, and she couldn't refuse. Akira always helped her, so this was the least she could do.

"Hm?" Kaoru sent her a warm grin, reading one of her books.

"Um… w-well, um… Akira asked me to ask if you and Hikaru would help her with something," Kimiko stuttered, but at least she wasn't blushing this time.

"What would I get in return?" Kaoru asked teasingly.

"Excuse me?" Kimiko wasn't sure what she had heard, but she was still angry enough about the teasing to not want to be teased when she was this nervous.

"What does she want us to do?" Kaoru changed the question. It wasn't worth angering her, especially when she was still plotting revenge.

"Oh! Um… well…" Now that it was time to ask, she had a hard time getting the question out. "Um… she wants you to help get Tamaki and Haruhi together!" At least Haruhi was gone avoiding Tamaki, so she didn't hear Kimiko's sudden outburst.

"Not gonna happen!" Both twins chorused, Hikaru returning.

Kimiko bit her lip as she was then ignored. Akira had made it clear that this was important, and she wasn't going to talk to her if she'd failed to get the twins help. And then, Akira had said that if she didn't get their help, Kimiko wouldn't be able to help with the matchmaking.

Kimiko didn't want to be shunned by the one person who kept her sane. Plus, she didn't want to be left out of the matchmaking. It sounded fun.

Wait… fun? She remembered everything she had heard about the twins. "It could be fun. You could… make it a game." Kimiko prodded.

"A game?" Kimiko nodded vigorously at the twin's question. "What kind of game?"

"Um…" Kimiko hadn't thought this through completely. "Whoever comes up with the best idea to try getting them together wins and um… gives the loser a penalty game. We'll keep track and whoever wins the most when they get together… uh… gets to keep the loser as a slave for a week!" Please work!

"Sounds interesting," Kaoru replied after a moment. "I'll have to think of some good penalty games for you."

"Me?" This wasn't what Kimiko had in mind.

"Yeah. You're playing, right?"
"Well… I wasn't…"

"She's probably too scared to," Hikaru said. "She's just a little coward."

Kimiko snapped at the dare. "I was going to play! I wasn't planning on losing!" She realized her mistake as both twins grinned.

"Well then… let's start the game."

Yay, another chapter! I'm the author and I'm kind of scared of what the twins are going to do… Can anyone guess what Kyoya's up to? Review please!
