Kaoru laughed along with his brother as the two walked away from Tamaki's
attempts to shout at them. After they had gotten settled on a couch
comfortably, Kaoru was finally able to really take in what it was that Kyoya
said. If they were going to really play this game this sort of meant he have
to eventually go up against his own brother. Kaoru wasn't sure he wanted to
do that. But at the same time he had agreed to go along with this game. But
how could he do that and still not hurt his brother by competing against him?
'What if I were to just pretend to go for her but in reality, just try keeping
the field more open for Hikaru?' he thought, 'Yeah I'll do that.'
He looked towards the room where Haruhi was. 'And maybe I can start right
now.'
"Where are you going Kaoru?" asked Hikaru.
"Just, going to check on Haruhi," said Kaoru with a smirk as he walked to the
changing room.
"Hey Haruhi how's it going?" he asked as he walked in.
Haruhi looked up at him mad.
"Would it kill you guys to just give me I don't know, 5, maybe 10 minute alone
so I can study?" she said mad.
"Which you working on?" asked Kaoru.
"Seriously?" said Haruhi, "We're in the same class and you have to ask?"
"Well then let me study with you," said Kaoru as he sat down next to her.
"No way!" said Haruhi, "Go find your brother and pester Tamaki- Sempai or
something!"
"Oh come on, let me help you study!" said Kaoru.
"Help me study?" said Haruhi, "It's you and your brother that need help
studying!"
"Okay then, be a friend and help me study," said Kaoru.
"Just me leave me alone!" shouted Haruhi.
"Haruhi, I'm being serious," said Kaoru, "Let me study with you. I could
probably use the extra help."
Haruhi groaned.
"No funny stuff!" she said.
"Fair deal," said Kaoru, "I'll be right back."
He quickly hurried out of the dressing room and over to his bag.
"Kaoru, you better not be doing anything to harass my little girl!" said
Tamaki.
"No Boss, we're just studying," said Kaoru.
"Why do you get to study with her!" said Tamaki.
"Well Boss we are in the same class," said Kaoru.
"Well then shouldn't I be studying with you guys too?" said Hikaru.
"Yeah, sure," said Kaoru.
Hikaru grabbed his bag and followed Kaoru back to the dressing room.
"What's he doing here?" asked Haruhi as the two sat down next to her.
"He's in our class too Haruhi," said Kaoru.
"Yeah Haruhi, I need to study too you know," said Hikaru.
"I said I study with you Kaoru, I didn't say anything about Hikaru," said
Haruhi.
"And what you don't think Hikaru needs to study or something?" asked Kaoru.
"I maybe smart Haruhi, but I'm not that smart," said Hikaru, "So anyway, what
are we studying?"
"Yeah you're not that smart at all," said Haruhi looking back down at her
book.
Both twins smirked as the two of them went and pulled out their books.
"So Haruhi, what chapter are we on?" asked Hikaru.
Haruhi didn't say anything as she kept reading her book and writing things
down on her notes.
"Hey Haruhi do you think this is going to be on the test?" asked Kaoru
pointing to certain part of the book.
Haruhi continued to ignore them.
"You know you're not helping us study very well Haruhi," said Kaoru.
Haruhi groaned.
"It's not like I'm your tutor guys," said Haruhi, "If you can't figured out
what it is we're suppose then you should start paying attention more in
class!"
"Geezes chill a bit Haruhi," said Kaoru.
"That's it, if you're going to keep getting my case then you two can just get
out!" said Haruhi.
"But we need to study too Haruhi," said Hikaru.
"Then do it somewhere else!" said Haruhi.
"Fine we'll leave," said Kaoru as he stood up and ran out of the room.
He stopped just out side to room to hear what it was Haruhi and Hikaru were
talking about.
"Come on Haruhi don't kick us out," said Hikaru.
"You're not giving me many options!" said Haruhi.
"Well what could I do to let me stay?" asked Hikaru.
"Shut up and study," said Haruhi.
"That methods so boring!" said Hikaru.
"Then why don't you go and study more excitingly somewhere else!" said
Haruhi.
Kaoru figured it was time for him to step in.
"Come on Hikaru, let's leave the little Tanuki alone," he said walking back
in.
"But we're not done studying," said Hikaru.
"Hello," said Tamaki walking in carrying a tray filled of tea cups, "I thought
the study group could us some refreshments."
"Forget it Boss you can't join," said Kaoru.
"I wasn't trying to, I was merely trying to offer some refreshments," said
Tamaki.
"Yeah sure you were," said Hikaru.
"What, this is what fathers do for their children when they're trying to…,"
Tamaki started to shout. As he did, the cups on the tray started to shake and
one fell off, right on to Haruhi book!
"Ah!" she shouted, "You guys ruined it!"
"Uh Sorry Haruhi," said Kaoru.
"Well All Of You Just Get Out!" shouted Haruhi mad.
The three boys all quickly ran out.
"Nice going Boss," said Hikaru.
"It was an accident!" said Tamaki.
Kaoru looked back to the changing room. He felt bad about Haruhi's book.
"Hey Haruhi," said Kaoru he said walking back in.
"I thought I said to go away," said Haruhi trying to clean up her book.
"I just wanted to give you this," said Kaoru handing her his own book, "You
can use it to study."
"Oh thank you," said Haruhi, "But what about you?"
"I can just borrow Hikaru's if I need to," said Kaoru, "And don't worry about
the ruined book. I'll pay and take care it for you."
"But you don't have to do that," said Haruhi.
"Well, it was kind of my fault," said Kaoru, "I was the one the originally
wanted to study with you and we all saw how that went."
"If you seriously want to study you can stay," said Haruhi, "If not please
leave."
"Okay," said Kaoru as he sat down next to her looking at the book. He pulled
out a piece of paper and started to write down notes as well.
"This isn't so bad," said Kaoru.
"I should hope not," said Haruhi, "You know Kaoru; you're not that bad of a
study partner."
"I should hope not," said Kaoru.
"Kaoru, Haruhi, time to get ready our guest are here," said Kyoya from the
other side of the door.
"Maybe we could study together like this again," said Kaoru
"Sure," said Haruhi.
Kaoru smiled, right before he realized something.
'What did I just say?' he thought.
