Chapter 3
Now with only twenty minutes remaining of the party the twins stole haruhi away in order to fulfill tamaki's plan for it turned out the girl that had helped haruhi learn how to dance was engaged but was having a few problems with her fiancé. Thus due to Tamaki's goal to help the beautiful princesses of Ouran academy the whole plan was to get the princess and her fiancé back together happily rather than leaving them to be miserable.
Basically the plan was that haruhi would pose as girl with a crush on the boy and would get him to realize his feelings for his fiancé while tamaki would lead the princess to the room she would see him with haruhi she'd run only to have the boy chase her and they'd realize their feelings for each other. Kind of cheesy if you think about it but hey I'll be honest if I found a guy like that I'd be happy, if only for a little while.
"things seem to be going as planed" Kyoya said as he stood beside me as I started to get a violin ready for I was going to play as the lead violinist in the last song for the last dance of the night. And already there was a group of girls crowding around giggling and what not just for the thought of me playing for them.
"is that so" I said closing my eyes as I made sure my violin was tuned properly since it was an older one but it was a gift from my mother when I was younger. And though it was old it was of great quality to be honest, some argue that it may be a Stradivarius but no one knows for sure and my mother just found it at an antique shop on sale one day.
"your rather talented aren't you" Kyoya said since he and I were the only ones in the room at the moment and he was writing on his clipboard.
"Talent alone will get you no where in the world it's what you do with it that matters" I said calmly as I slowly lowered my violin and opened my once closed eyes and looked Kyoya in the eyes "still it must be nice knowing what you want to do with your life already" I said closing my eyes again as I carefully put my violin down on a chair for a moment as I ran a hand through my hair
"what makes you say that?" Kyoya asked as he looked unaffected by my question yet somehow I could tell it surprised him slightly
"you want to take over your family's company do you not, yet you know you have to fight for it being the youngest of three sons. In away you've set sail on the sea of life with a set course while I've merely set sail in a life boat and set of drifting among the waters of life." I said calmly "I have yet to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do when I get there"
"interesting way of putting it" Kyoya said looking at me as I looked down at the floor and he almost looked concerned but then I smiled at him and this seemed to surprise him as well as confuse him
"well then while we're sailing near each other for the time being I can only wish you luck with your goal" I said smiling and Kyoya just stared at me as I picked my violin back up "we'll I'd better get going"
"right" Kyoya said as he watched me walk out of the room "set course huh?" he said with a thinking look on his face then he smiled "well it's not as set as you may think Miss Yuki Fujioka"
Later I stood in front of the orchestra with my eyes closed and my violin up and ready to begin playing then I opened one eye as I watched the conductor for the cue to begin the song.
Once the song was finished I walked out to where the others were and the results of the plan was in plain view for the princess and her fiancé were now smiling happily at each other wait no it was more lovingly then just happily.
"and now we'll announce the queen of the ball" hikaru said as he and his brother were both holding banana peels
'what are those for?' I thought confused but then I sighed as they basically announced it as the girl we've been helping this whole night and who was now united with her fiancé in the court yard below as the cherry blossom pedals dance around them. "it looks like a scene from a dream" I said smiling and this got the others attention for a moment and the girls around me all blushed before the twins added another twist for the night.
"and for her reward a kiss on the cheek from our king" hikaru said and then I noticed the banana peels were missing and I looked slightly worried
"calm down yuki, everything's going according to plan" Kyoya said and looked up at him and I sighed
"but to who's plan is the question" I said rolling my eyes
"Haruhi Fujioka will stand in for Tamaki" Kaoru said and not only were tamaki and haruhi surprised but I was too but then Kyoya placed a hand on my shoulder and had a smile on his face
"all according to plan" he said and I looked slightly nervous now.
"there's no way I could kiss her" haruhi said slightly annoyed
"if you do it we'll cut your debt by 1/3" Kyoya said as he went back to writing things on his clip board
"well it is just a peck on the cheek" haruhi said before she prepared to walk down the small set of stairs to where the couple stood.
Then when haruhi was about to kiss her on the cheek tamaki couldn't take it anymore. So he rushed down to try and stop the kiss only to step on a banana peel pushing haruhi and making her actually kiss the girl and I stiffened for a moment
"all according to plan" Kyoya said and I looked at him
"Your evil" I said with a sigh "yet I guess that makes things interesting not to mention how you and tamaki are such opposites."
"oh don't tell me your starting to fall for our king?" Kyoya said smirking slightly
"not in the least I was just pointing out how you and tamaki seem to be two sides of the same coin. For your both quiet handsome yet in different ways. He's loud and overdramatic while you're cold and dark. It's like he's the light and you're the darkness." I said calmly
"oh so you think I'm handsome too now?" Kyoya said smirking and I rolled my eyes again
"don't let it go to your head. I may not be interested in dating right now but that doesn't mean I can't tell when people look good or not." I said calmly "sheesh you are a king but you're a king of the shadows while tamaki's the king of the light" I said walking away and Kyoya watched me as I walked down towards haruhi
"yuki" haruhi said as I placed a hand on her shoulder and I smiled
"sorry about that, I guess our king wanted to make the occasion extra special" I said to the princess "please excuse him for his actions." I said and she blushed slightly "now go on the night is still young, you two should go walking among the cherry blossoms on such a beautiful night as tonight. Enjoy your time together for that is all anyone can truly hope to do with the one they love" I said smiling and the couple smiled and blushed slightly as they walked away
Later once the guests were gone.
"shadow king huh?" Kyoya said standing behind me and I sighed before I looked back at him over my shoulder
"what about it?" I asked calmly before I was about to walk passed him "it suites you anyways. So if you were going to try and make me take it back I won't" I said but then he grabbed my hand causing me to turn and face him
"it's just struck me. There is still a princess here yet she has not had a chance to dance with any of the hosts" Kyoya said
"huh but I don't see any one around?" I said looking around confused as Kyoya smirked before he lead me to the changing rooms
"in here" he said opening the door and pushing me in.
Once in the room I found hikaru and kaoru smirking and holding a package
"oh no" I said backing away with an annoyed look on my face "I am not wearing one of those things" I said trying to open the door but it was locked "KYOYA YOU EVIL JERK!" I yelled trying to get the door open
"if you don't get changed I'll add on another thousand to you and your sister's debt to us" Kyoya said through the door and I flinched slightly
"Fine but let these two out while I'm changing if I have to put on makeup then I'd like to do it alone" I said walking towards the twins and I took the package from them and walked to the changing area.
Then with a sigh I looked at the dress as I pulled it out of the packaging and I looked surprised for it was rather pretty it was deep purple with a golden design embroidered on it. Also there were a pair of gold hoop earrings with silver swirls encrusted in them, and a golden bracelet that matched the earrings but it had a silver flower encrusted in it as well. And then I found a necklace that was a simple flower shaped diamond pendent encrusted in white gold on a gold chain. I then put on a bit of makeup but not very much just a bit of blush, eyeliner, and lip gloss.
Outside the changing room
"what's taking so long?" kaoru said
"why did you even want to do this Kyoya?" Hikaru asked
"yeah haruhi's already gone home" Kaoru said as they both looked at Kyoya confused
"I have my reasons" Kyoya said and then the doors opened and I stepped out blushing slightly and the others were in shock
"does it look that bad?" I asked looking away in a slightly vulnerable way and they all blushed
"not in the least you look beautiful" tamaki said walking up and smiling and I sighed
"so what was the point behind all this Shadow King?" I asked looking at Kyoya and the others looked surprised
"sha" the twins started
"dow" hunny continued
"KING?" Tamaki finished and I looked at them confused to why they were freaking out
"yeah he's like the opposite of Tamaki, for tamaki's the king of the light and Kyoya's the king of shadows since Kyoya likes to be evil from time to time while Tamaki likes to be all loud and happy, though annoying but it's not evil in the least" I said calmly and the others seemed to understand
"may I have this dance princess" Kyoya said bowing to me and I looked confused as he held his hand out
"but there's no music" I said looking away and he smirked
"that's why we weren't allowed to leave yet" the twins said pulling a curtain that raised and revealed a piano where tamaki was now sitting at and he began to play.
"well princess" Kyoya said and I looked at him confused before I sighed and took his hand
"might as well" I said and soon he lead me to the dance floor and started to waltz with me "so why did you do all this?" I asked
"I figured that as a shadow king I should live up to my reputation" Kyoya said and I felt my eye brow twitch out of annoyance
"really is that all?" I asked still looking irritated but I managed to keep a smirk on my face
"well that's for me to know and you to find out" Kyoya said and I looked surprised as I looked up at him then I looked annoyed again
"you know the guests are gone you should take off your hosting mask" I said looking away as we continued to dance and soon his expression changed a bit yet he was still smiling but it looked different than normal and more real.
