Our world is not as perfect as you think, Haruhi.

By Kelly Marie Leibensperger

Chapter 1

It was a Tuesday afternoon during the first week of spring and the cold blooded host had arrived at the door to music room #3 early to sit in the peace and quiet to work on his finances. His name was Kyouya Ootori and he was the heir to one of the largest medical companies in all of Japan. He was a member of Ouran academy's elite host club. He was the one who took care of all of the club's finances. Without him, the club would for sure be in debt. As he opened the large double doors to the dark music room he noticed two shadowy figures sitting next to each other on one of the couches.

"I'm sorry but you need to leave, this room is for use by host club members only and our club hours are about to start. I apologize for the inconvenience." Kyouya stated politely but loudly.

No answer....
No movement...

It was still silent as Kyouya flipped the light switch. His eyes widened when he realized that it was just the Hitachiin twins cuddling on the couch.

"What are you two doing here and why didn't you say anything when I--........" he stopped speaking mid question when he got close enough to see the twins were..."crying?............" he stated breathlessly. "What's going on?" he added.

"Its........" Hikaru managed to say before he uncontrollably began to sob once more.

"Its...Haruhi... she's been...taken from us....kidnapped" Kaoru finished for his beloved twin, as he cradled Hikaru closer to him.

Kyouya was speechless; he began to think that this was some sick joke. Little did he realize that he had fallen to his knees at the news of Haruhi's kidnapping. The twins exchanged surprised glances as they had never known Kyouya to show much emotion. Though, they summed up that it was because he was indeed a human after all.

"How do you know?" Kyouya asked after regaining his cool and calm disposition. This was when Hikaru unfolded a tear stained piece of paper and handed it to Kyouya.

"I'm sorry about the wet spots....I couldn't control myself when I was reading it" Hikaru choked before his body was racked with another episode of uncontrollable sobbing.

"This is not a joke Kyouya if that is what you're thinking." Kaoru said, knowing very well what was probably going through Kyouya's mind. Kyouya knew that the Hitachiin brothers were the little devil type, however, Kaoru was attempting to make it clear that this was not one of their sick jokes.

As Kyouya read the letter he began to feel a pang in his chest and his stomach churn, he was about to cry, and he knew it. Quickly standing up Kyouya told the twins that he had to make some phone calls, and left.

He walked to an empty, unused classroom near the music room and entered it quietly. Upon entering he locked the door behind him and sat in a corner where no one could see him from the door. He continued reading the letter...

***
We know your club's secret. We have watched her undress at her apartment after hours of cross-dressing at school. She really has quite a lovely body. We could understand why you guys would want to keep her your secret maiden. Her breasts are small but they look quite delicious. I wonder if she's shared her forbidden fruit with you hosts...
***

Kyouya had tears streaming down his face and his body racked with sobs as he read this. How dare they talk about Haruhi like that. How dare they have watched her so perversely as she undressed. How long had this gone on? This was my fault' he thought 'if I never forced her to repay that debt as a host then she would have never been involved in the complicated lives of the elite members of society.' He growled in frustration and sadness as he decided to read on...

***
We have taken her. We are going to hurt all of you by hurting her. We have been watching you hosts for a long time now and none of your families seem to want to do business with us. Are you elite too good to do business with us yakuza. Ootori, your father fired three of our men who worked for him in your private police force. Why? It was because your father found out that they were involved with the yakuza. Those men have families you know!? And you elite are too selfish and worried about your reputations to even provide a police officer with a job. Haruhi's pain is your punishment. Once and IF you find her, she will hate you for involving her in your hectic lives, she will blame you.

Kyouya closed his eyes as more tears fell into his lap. What was wrong with the psychos that did this? Why Haruhi? Couldn't they hurt us instead? they're the yakuza, and the only person they think they can handle is a small girl like Haruhi. Those cowards will pay.
Kyouya then noticed that at the bottom there was one last sentence...

***

Revenge is sweet and Haruhi is sweeter.

***

The second he finished reading the last sentence, Kyouya knew what was going to happen to Haruhi. With tears in his eyes he got up and ran to the nearest bathroom. Head hung over the trash can, Kyouya puked up his lunch, the yakuza's actions had disgusted him. He rinsed his mouth out with some water after composing himself and headed back to music room three with the letter in his hand.

"What should we do" he whispered to himself as he neared the doors to the music room. "What ARE we going to do" he whispered again, sounding more frustrated.

"MOMMYYY!" an enthusiastic Tamaki squealed from behind Kyouya. "What do you mean 'what should we do' haven't we planned out today's activities already? Or did you forget to set--?"

"Shut up." Kyouya interrupted, tears forming in his eyes once more. as Mori and Hunny showed up being Tamaki they glanced at Kyouya, who seemed extra irritated at that moment.

"What's wrong Kyo-chan" Hunny asked innocently. Kyouya felt a familiar pang in his heart and a churning in his stomach again. 'Oh no…. Not this again. I can't cry in front of the others' he then shoved the letter into Tamaki's chest and walked out of the room. He couldn't handle his emotions right now...

**with the hosts**

Tamaki looked at the folded up piece of paper before entering the music room, it had tear stains on it, some fresher than the others. The twins had composed themselves somewhat while Kyouya had gone out of the room and noticed that Tamaki had the letter in his hand. They both took a deep breath and prepared themselves to restrain a wild beast in a few minutes.

Tamaki, Mori and Hunny sat down on one of the couches together, all of them looked worried.

"Tama-chan...just....read it out loud to Mori and I" Hunny quietly requested.

Tamaki then began reading the letter. When he reached the final sentence he hung his head, his hands were violently shaking and tears freely flowed down his cheeks. Hunny was loudly bawling and clinging to Mori more than he ever had clung to him before. Mori did not sob, or shake, or bawl; he simply sat and cried...silently.

"How dare they!" Tamaki growled.

"Does this mean...that she's already been hurt tama-chan? What have they done to her" the innocent boy asked, not realizing the meaning of the final sentence within the letter.

"Hunny. They might have already hurt her...maybe not...but they don't want to just hurt her, they want to violate her. If you don't understand what that means then that is okay but we must find her and bring her home...k" Tamaki said.

Hunny nodded, regretting that he asked about it, it disgusted him to know.
"Haruhi probably really needs Usa-chan to hug on right about now tama-chan. She's probably terribly frightened...
