A/N: This is a new story that I've written. I hope that you enjoy reading this. Standard disclaimers apply.
Summary: After five years of separation, someone from Kyouya's past comes back. Knowing that she was lost to him, he started making drastic decisions that ruin everything including her. Just when he was experiencing the repercussions of his actions, he finds out that the forbidden one was never truly forbidden.
Chapter 1: Return
"Hello dear. How was your trip?" An elderly voice asked from the other line.
"It was fine Grandma. I'm on my way home but I'll be taking a detour before heading straight there." Was the reply given by a young lady.
"Where would you be going dear? You just came back from London and I'm sure that you're tired." Her grandmother said worriedly.
"I'll just pay Ouran a visit Grandma. Since I'm going to be studying there, I need to check it out." She informed her.
"Very well dear. I'll just wait for you then." Kumiko told her granddaughter.
"Don't worry Grandma. I won't be long. I'll go home as soon as I'm finished there." Was her granddaughter's assurance.
"Be careful dear." Kumiko said on the other line.
"I will Grandma. I'll see you later. Bye." The young lady replied before bidding farewell to her.
"Are you sure he's there Riku?" The same lady asked while snapping her phone shut.
"Hai Ojou-sama." Riku confirmed.
His mistress nodded before telling the driver to pick up the pace.
The Host Club was in its usual bustling setting with Tamaki and his group of ladies being the noisiest and Kyouya being the least noticeable of them all with just the sound of his typing being heard.
They were all doing their own thing when the double doors of the clubroom opened making them stop what they were doing, just to see a lady and her butler standing there.
Tamaki, being the club's king, approached her.
"What is a beautiful princess doing here?" He asked slowly.
She was about to reply when Kyouya spoke up.
"Tamaki, I suggest that you don't flirt with her unless you want to make enemies with the Kurosakis."
Tamaki wasn't able to react because the lady in front of him was already walking towards his best friend.
"Kyouya? Is that really you?" She asked when she was directly in front of him.
"Do you know of any other Kyouya, Megumi?" He teased.
The lady shook her head before saying, "I know only one person who would say something like that."
This made Kyouya smile and the other occupants of the room to be surprised to see him do so.
Kyouya, ignoring their stares, stood up and opened his arms to Megumi, who he was sure was going to hug him.
Megumi, in seeing this, readily went to him and hugged him tightly.
"I missed you so much Kyouya." She whispered against his chest.
"You don't know how much I missed you Megumi." He told her softly while returning her hug.
Megumi laughed before looking up at him and said, "I know you did. That's why I came back. Anyway, we have a lot of catching up to do."
"Yes, we do." He said with a nod before releasing her and offering her a seat.
Megumi smiled at him then sat across from him.
Meanwhile, the other occupants of the room continued what they were doing before Megumi came just as Kyouya and Megumi began chatting.
They were so immersed in their conversation that they almost didn't see Haruhi serve them tea and some cakes.
"Thank you Haruhi." Kyouya said with a nod towards her.
"You're welcome senpai." She told him before walking towards her table.
She was only able to take three steps away from Kyouya's table when she heard Megumi say softly, "Kyouya, how come you have a female in this club? From what I can see, this is a host club so why is she here hosting?"
This caused the other hosts to perk up and look at Megumi, Kyouya and Haruhi.
"We'll talk about it later. For now let us celebrate your return." Kyouya told her.
After the club's hosting duties ended, Megumi stayed behind with the hosts.
"Care to explain now Kyouya?" She demanded.
"How come you noticed that Haruhi's a girl? No one in Ouran except for the Superintendent and the Host Club know about Haruhi's real gender." Tamaki said before Kyouya could answer.
"Not even those ladies know?" She asked.
"Not even them." The Host Club king confirmed.
"I see. That only proves that they're either stupid or ignorant." She told him.
Tamaki was surprised to hear what she said that he wasn't able to reply.
"You didn't answer the question Megumi." Kyouya pointed out.
"Did you think that I'll come here without first doing some research and background checking?" She inquired with a brow raised.
"Of course not." Kyouya replied with a smile.
"Then that answers your question." She said with a grin.
The twins laughed when they heard this.
"You're just like Kyouya-senpai." Hikaru began.
"Doing background checks and keeping tabs on everything." Kaoru added.
"Maybe you're a 'shadow being' like him? Maybe you're the Shadow Queen?" They both ended.
Megumi just raised an eyebrow before looking at Kyouya.
"I guess I am." She said seriously.
"You're blunt as always Megumi." Kyouya told her.
"Well, what did you expect? Someone who's not blunt?" She inquired with a mischievous smile.
"You really have returned." Kyouya said fondly.
'Yes, she really has returned. Only Megumi can be like that.' Haruhi thought.
