Chapter Thirty- Let The Battle Begin

     The loud music plays through my head phones as I lay out in the gentle sun. I see a figure beside me and catch Hikaru. "Shouldn't you be helping your brother?" I ask him.

   "Nah," Hikaru says, "I don't really care about the room... Where are you staying?"

  "My summer home," I tell him, "its nice.... You should come check it out soon."

  "Maybe," He says. I smirk and sit up leaning towards him. I cup his cheeks and connect my lips to his. He moves in sync with me until I hear people nearing us. I pull away and sit back in my chair.

  "That change your mind?" I ask him.

   "Definitely," He says. 

  "Hikaru come on!" Kaoru yells. Hikaru looks at me and sighs.

"I'll be back," He says.

"Fine," I tell him as he slides off. Although soon enough Kyoya replaces him. Both of us using the time to relax and unwind. 

"You two are keeping your distance from all of this?" Haruhi asks as.

"Of course. Winning means I end up staying here alone, which frankly doesn't appeal to me," Kyoya says.

"And I just enjoy being near my collection of books," I tell her.

"So we'll just sit back and watch things unfold then head for the cottages," Kyoya says.

"The cottage? You mean, your family's?" Haruhi asks us. We nod.

"That's right. We all have one in the area," Kyoya says.

"Besides all of us here would be a bit much," I tell her.

"So, who's your favorite to win? There must be someone you have in mind," Kyoya says, "Do you care to bet?"

"Um, no thanks. I don't have a clue," Haruhi says.

"Really? It's easy enough to tell at a glance. Honey-Senpai's brand of cute doesn't quite fit Misuzu's notion of refreshing. So I'm afraid he is out. Tamaki comes a little closer to the ideal, provided he keeps his mouth shut. But we both know the likelihood of that. Ordinarily you'd figure Hikaru and Kaoru. Then again, seems we have a dark horse," Kyoya says.

"Yes but Mori is only doing this for Honey... so if Honey goes then he does too," I add.

"Which means," Hikaru says.

"Victory will be ours," Kaoru says.

"Well maybe not," Haruhi says, "I couldn't help but notice that the only room still available is a single bed. So if you did win, you couldn't both stay."

"No big deal. We can just bring another bed over from the cottage," Hikaru says.

"Yeah, we can even squeeze into the single," Kaoru says.

"How sweet. I guess you guys really are always together, huh?" Haruhi says.

"Always," Kaoru says.

"The two of us have been together since we were born. So we haven't ever needed anybody else," Hikaru says.

"We never bother making other friends until a few years ago. We thought the world was made up of idiots," Kaoru says.

"Oh really?" Haruhi asks.

"But then... Well, that was before we knew you and Y/n," Hikaru says, "We totally let you sleep with us."

"Ah thanks, I'll pass," Haruhi says.

"The contest isn't quite decided yet. There's still a number of ways to make this game more interesting," Kyoya says.

"Oh yeah? Thinking about helping the boss, are you?" Kaoru asks.
