Note:: This is my first attempt at writing Kyoya/Haruhi and I think it turned out pretty good. I would love to know what you all think though, so please review. This is in Kyoya's POV.

Was it thanks to her that I finally gained the courage to take what I want and not just sit and accept my fate? The girl that dressed like a boy? The girl who had no true respect for those of a higher class then her? The girl who everyone seemed to fall for? The girl with big innocent brown eyes that seemed to melt even my heart? Could she have made such an impact on me?

I don't want to believe it but I am not one to simply ignore facts? Could that be the feeling of love? No, I don't think so, but it's not like I really have much experience to go by. My sister loved me and that was it. Until Tamaki came a long and offered me a position in the host club I was just fine with the idea of working bellow my brothers. Then what said about me, how I was the one giving up… That was what gave me the push I needed, in the direction I needed to go. I was going to surpass my brothers.

Still I didn't have the courage to stand up to my father though. He didn't like the host club so I never spoke of it to him. I think what he hated the most though was the idea of my working on my own without having to do what he or my brothers said.

The host club was strong. Everyone seemed to have a strong bond. We all stood up for each other and protected each other. We had a good amount of money as well. Although Tamaki was our king I felt a lot of power over the others in the host club. Then that girl came a long and there was something about her.

At first I really didn't care what she did as long as she paid off her debt and didn't cause any more trouble. The as she spent time with the host club I began to like her. I enjoyed her company. I enjoyed her logic. I just enjoyed everything about her.

She knew I wouldn't go after anything if I would gain anything from the pursuit.

Was it thanks to her? Yes, I think it was indeed partly thanks to her. No, it wasn't all thanks to her. It was Tamaki who started the slow change in me, but it was thanks to her that I finally stepped out of the shadow of my brothers. That I finally showed my father that I was just as good as either of my brothers.

I bought his company to prove myself to him. I gave it back to prove myself to me.

She didn't love me. She loved Tamaki. But if my experience taught me one thing, it was that I shouldn't give up so easy.

I won't go after anything if I won't gain anything in its pursuit. She knew that after such a short time. When she first told me that, she was right. I did have nothing to gain from going after her, but now I do. She gave me the final push I needed. Tamaki was my friend, a true friend and would always remains so. Haruhi was a fiend, but she would become more. That was what I wanted.

And what an Ohtori wants…

An Ohtori gets.
