(Yoshio's P.O.V.)

"What challenge should await them..." I walked around my room thinking about it until the maid went inside, knocking.
"Sir, the breakfast is ready." She told me.
"Ah, good. Can you call all the other members? And the maids too." I ordered her.
"Why?" She asked.
"Just do it," I commanded as she went outside to get them.
"I'm going to make the maids have a day-off and see who's good at doing house chores..." I thought. "Haruhi downstairs and Renge upstairs. Who can do the cleaning fastest and best. But wait, there aren't the same amount of furnitures... Not like I care!" I went to the dining room and found Haruhi helping the maids.
"Oh you don't have to Haruhi! I'm fine..." The maid Haruhi's helping told her.
"Daijobu! I can handle this! I'm used to things like these anyway, and then... I feel like I owe Fuyumi so I'm going to do this for her..." She spoke softly.

(Renge's P.O.V.)

'No, I can't let her have all the spotlight! Even... even uncle's looking at her... What am I supposed to do?!' I thought, not showing what I'm feeling inside. 'Doushiyou? Ah, maybe I could help that maid deliver the food.' I spotted one maid having trouble.
"Let me~!" I gave her my helpful hand and she told me that it's fine. "I insist!" So she let me help her.
"Thank you Ms. Renge, though it is very unusual for you to help o-"
"It's because I want to be... I want to be the perfect wife for Kyouya..." Kyouya looked at me once he heard his name.
"Mmm?"
"Nothing..." I grinned at the maid and the maid giggled. Now I know that she's on my side. I heard that uncle would be including maids so I have to make every maid get on my side... I'll do that later. Ah, I'll have to be friends with them too! That's it!
I stopped thinking as soon as we had to eat breakfast.
"Melissa," I called the maid who cooked it. "It's really delicious!"
"Hontou ni?" She asked me.
"Yes! You should try your own cooking!" I told her then, I took a glance at Haruhi she just sat there, happily eating it. How stupid.
I then realized that there was a vacant seat beside me so I made her sit and then we started talking while eating.
"*Cough* Manners *cough*" Fuyumi pretended to cough. "Dad, I'm sure you don't want someone who talks while eating. It sure is disgusting, isn't it?" She told uncle.
"Well, I guess your right." Oh no! How can I change their minds?!

(Haruhi's P.O.V.)

"Uhh... Anyway, let's leave that topic aside." I tried to stop them so that there won't be any arguments or something. I gave Renge a small smile and saw her blush because of embarrassment.
"Er... right... Let's just have a peaceful breakfast!" Kyouya told us all.
"Alright..." Fuyumi said, pouting like a little kid.
"Waah, Fuyumi-chan you look so cute!" I told her, pinching her cheeks a bit.
"Ah, Haruhi-chan's cuter!" She pinched my cheeks too.
"We're eating, Fuyumi, Haruhi." Kyouya stopped us.
"Gomen nasai!" Fuyumi bowed down.
"Gomen..." I followed her steps in apologizing.
"It's alright." I watched Kyouya show a smile. Not the smile he shows in the host club, this time, it's real.
"Okay~!" We continued to eat and we were about to go back until Mr. Otori spoke.
"Wait," he said. "Maids, please take the day-off. Haruhi, Renge, I challenge you both to do the cleaning! Haruhi, clean upstairs, Renge, clean downstairs." He announced.
I nodded my head and took the vacuum, mop, and the feather duster. "Better start now!"
"Well, I guess I have to start now too..." I heard Renge mumble. Right! She must be used to the rich life so she has no clue about cleaning.
"Renge, do you know how to use the vacuum?" I asked her.
"I..." She said, voice no more than a whisper. Everyone's looking at her, including Yoshio and Kyouya. "Of course I do! You just umm... press this button right?" She pressed the on button and jumped back because of its noise.
"It's too loud!" She complained as the maids laughed at her telling her things like: "Of course it is!" or "Renge-tan's not used to vacuums at all"
I let out a small giggle and taught her how to use every cleaning tool.
"First, you do this..." As soon as she learned everything, I went downstairs and started cleaning. I hummed my favorite song, Sakura Kiss.
And before I knew it, I was singing it! "Kiss, kiss fall in love! Kizukeba itsudemo, soba ni iru keredo..."
"Ah, finished!" Did you know that I cleaned half of the day?! I took a bath afterwards and as soon as I went downstairs, I found Yoshio checking every furniture, every tile to see if it's clean.
"Fast Haruhi, fast indeed and perfect cleaning! I'm impressed!"
"Ehehehe, I'm not that good at all but thank you!" I bowed down to show my gratitude. "Yoshio-san, would you like some tea?"
"We'll have the maids do that-"
"Don't worry! I'm good at making one!" I decided to make some tea for me and Mr. Otori and then we talked about Kyouya. A lot.

As soon as we finshed chatting and eating dinner, Renge and I were once again, asked to do the dishwashing. Six plates each, with matching spoons and forks and glasses.
I watched Renge struggle so I decided to help her out again.
"Thank you Haruhi, for always helping me out..."
"No prob! What are friends for?" I replied. We laughed as we washed the dishes. As soon as we finished it, we went to sleep... Of course, before I went to sleep, I wrote in my diary.

Dear diary, today, we had a challenge, do the house chores and such. It's funny how fast time could pass by! I helped Renge a lot today, I hope that she doesn't get too competitive though! Goodnight!

I finished filling it in and went to sleep.

(A/N: Credits to LyricsMode for the lyrics! I personally like this chapter because it showed Renge's competetive side, what about you? Which chapter do you like?)
