"Thanks dad"Haruhi whipped the sweat from her forehead as she handed her father the final box. She watched as he pounded his shoulders and dropped the last package down in her bedroom.

Her father had moved out of their old apartment a few years after Haruhi graduated from law school, he said it was because it would be closer to his work but it seemed that he just wanted to be closer to Haruhis work. The apartment was relatively new and had a much more western feel then their previous apartment.

"You're making the right choice sweetheart"Ranka smiled as he handed Haruhi a spare key to the apartment, this was the first time he would be living with his daughter since she left for Boston all those years ago.

"I know... but do you think he's ever going to talk to me again. I'd like for us to still be friends one day"Haruhi looked down at her right hand with a slight feeling of loss, her ring finger had a tan line that would soon fade away.

"He'll come around dear, it was the right thing to do"Ranka handed his daughter a cup of tea and patted the seat on the couch next to him. His daughter had been through a rough few days, since her called off her engagement with Tamaki she had been in a slump.

"He's still be best friend, it's not that I don't love him.. I just don't love him like that…I wish I had realized it sooner"Haruhi sipped her tea slowly, enjoying the comfort of being in her fathers' presence. She had felt so alone since leaving the Souh mansion 'that' night, she hadn't called any of the ex-host club members to let them know, she knew they'd find out soon enough. The last thing she wanted to do was worry any of them.

"Why don't you take a few days off work sweetheat? It'll give you time to unpack and settle yourself here again. I've missed your home cooking so much!"Ranka chooed over his daughter trying to raise her spirits, he could tell by the slight smile on her lips that he had reminded her of that time before she had moved out, back when she was still in high school.

"How about I make curry tonight"Giving her father a smile to ease his concerns she moved off to the kitchen and began work on his favorite meal.

'It'll all be okay'

-At the Souh Mansion-

"What do you mean she's not here?!"Hikaru and Kaoru yelled in unison at the maid who answered the door. They had been in Paris with their mother the past few weeks and had made a special trip back home to deliver Haruhis wedding gown for a fitting.

The maid nervously cleared her throat as she knew this was not going to end well

"Miss Fujioka left a few days ago, she had called off her engagement to Master Tamaki"The maid began to slowly close the door trying to hide herself. She then felt a hand grip the doors handle and push back against her.

" . ."

-With Tamaki-

"I can't make her come back to you"Kyoya sat impatiently as he waited for Tamaki to stop his crying and look up from his desk. He had called Kyoya over saying it was important business about their company but ended up only crying about how Haruhi had left him days before.

"I thought she would come back but she moved all her things out"Tamaki whined through the pile of Kleenex that covered his desk. He had been fine with Kyoya arrived but began to cry uncontrollably once Kyoya asked where Haruhi was.

"What exactly did you do to make her decided to leave you?"Resigning that there would be no work done until Tamaki felt better, Kyoya sat back in his chair and waited for the explanation.

Tamaki brushed the pile off his desk into the trash can and began his story

-Flashback: what happened-

It had been a normal evening for them, Haruhi returned from work and made a small meal for her and Tamaki. They had said goodnight and went to their bedroom being all smiles as nomal/

"Haruhi I'm sorry I thought this was okay"Tamaki paniced as he saw Haruhi rushing to pick up her clothes from the floor, a look of complete shock on her face. He began to follow her around the room trying to clam her down.

"I don't think I can see you anymore Tamaki"Haruhi pulled her jacket over her shoulder and grabbed the purse that rested on the edge of their bed. She began to pat herself down checking her had everything she needed, keys, wallet, phone, work pass.

"What? Haruhi please this has to be some sort of mistake! If you're that angry we can talk about it, you always said we need to communicate more"He couldn't believe what was happening, Haruhi was leaving him. They had never really fought before so he didn't know how to handle it but all he knew was that he didn't want her to leave.

"Tamaki… I'm sorry"That was the last thing he heard her say, she had given him a kiss on the cheek and placed the engagement ring into his hand, and then she was gone.

Gone. Gone. Gone.

He was alone. He had been alone. 6 days. No call. No text. No email. Only the sound of moves taking away everything that belonged to her. Leaving him with nothing but the memories.

-So that's what Tamaki thinks happened—

"Did you hear that Hikaru?"Kaoru whispered as they crouched down at the door, listening to Kyoya and Tamakis conversation. They had been directed to Tamakis study and after looking around the house it was clear Haruhi had really left.

"Yeah, let's find her"
