The Truth

"Why did u do it? You could have turned me in, Kyouya. This isn't right…it was my wrong, it was my fault!"

Fuyumi Ootori, holding a beer in her hand, was glaring daggers at her once lovable brother, wishing she had the will to strangle him. She couldn't though; she knew why Kyouya framed the other man.

She had once taken drugs, drank and drove which caused her car gone over the speed limit so tragically, she almost killed the whole beach by zooming around in the car. And worse, she also almost successfully embezzled the Ootori company funds.

Her father had to cover up everything, using all means possible, and using up a lot of the company's profits: if not his reputation in the business world could be tarnished. Of course, this made her father detest her, almost wishing he could disown her.

So, Kyouya couldn't do that to his own sister, even if it involved his friend.

But he should, shouldn't he?

"You know why, Onee-chan"

Swinging her bottle around, Fuyumi sank back into the chair she had been lying on and put her head into her hands.

"I'm sorry, Kyouya, I really am. I'm so sorry, I just didn't see him…I'm so sorry!"

Kyouya went to his sister, grabbed the bottle and threw it into the bin.

Then he walked back slowly, knelt down and grabbed her hands, saying, "If you really are, quit drinking. You're not ruining only your own life, you're ruining others too. Please stop."

His sister looked up and stared straight at him with glazed eyes. Then she shrugged off his hands and turned away, but not after hesitating to say something.

Kyouya stood up, leaving her sobbing silently into the couch. He needed to escape, he felt so oppressed in there. He couldn't breathe.

Making a sharp left turn to the doorway, he found Kaoru staring at him with big accusing eyes.

The silence was broken with a single blow on the cheek, with Hikaru grabbing the branded tuxedo on the bespectacled man and pushing him up the wall.

"What the fuck?! How could you?! To protect your reputation huh!"

Kaoru pulled him off Kyouya and restrained him from any more damage, shouting angrily, "Stop it! This won't solve anything, Hikaru! Get a grip!"

Then to Kyouya, "He is…dying. Fuck, they're giving him blood transplants as we speak. We just came to tell you that."

Breathing heavily, his twin looked at though he was going to strike him again, but Kaoru pulled him back towards the stairs, towards the entrance.

"Please don't tell her. Please," came Kyouya's subdued voice.

The twins ignored him, and left him there, punching the wall.

--------------------------------------

Mori tapping his fingers agitatedly against the table, Hunny was hugging Usa-chan* tightly and whispering to it, and Haruhi was holding both wedding rings in her hands, gripping them tightly, her knuckles white.

Tamaki's heart rate had dropped suddenly, not even an hour after the emergency operation, and the doctors were forced to perform another major operation on him: he needed a lot more blood transplants, immediately.

No one had even been able to see him yet. And the doctor had said that they had to wait once more, but perhaps it wouldn't be as long as previously.

As a pang of pain shot through her heart when she thought of what could happen to Tamaki, Haruhi stood up abruptly, wanting to get some fresh air.

Both men followed suit, thinking she would do something stupid and dangerous.

"I just…I just want to be alone for awhile. Please," she disclosed quietly.

They looked at each other and sat back down.

Somberly, Haruhi looked back one more time at the emergency room, shuffled towards the lift, and left the building.

She was making her way towards someplace she had gone to when she was younger, grew out of it when her mother left, and forgotten about it until now.

After awhile, she came to a building, and the shadow of the cross loomed over her.

It was a simple, small town church that she had seen while she was in the limousine, and she was hesitating now: she didn't know if she could really place her faith in someone no one had ever seen.

And he had taken away her mother too.

Haruhi took a deep breath and stepped into the church.

She went towards the simply adorned altar and knelt down, and for the first time since she was five, she prayed fervently, for the safety of her fiancé.

----------------------------------------

Sometime after Haruhi left, the twins returned, their hands stuffed into their pockets, announcing that the shadow king was comforting his sister, who had been involved in an accident.

They didn't elaborate any further.

All the men either leaned against the wall or sat down, but all of them were thinking about the same thing.

Was Tamaki going to be alright?

They were surrounded by all sorts of flowers, in a beautiful garden.

"Come here, my daughter!"

"Nuh-uh-uh, I'm now your wife, Otosan!"

He ran towards her, scooped her up in his arms and hugged her saying, "I'll never leave you, Haruhi. Never ever ever…"

"Never ever ever", his lips went.

Tamaki was now back in the Intensive Care Unit, his condition barely stable. Everyone was now gathered at the window, willing him to wake up with their thoughts.

Haruhi thought, "Did his lips just move?" She felt as if he was calling out to her silently. She wanted to slam her fists down on him and use brute force to shake him back to life.

They stood there for more than an hour, and then Kyouya thought it was time to inform the rest about the accident.

"Haruhi, we'll go get some supplies for you. You really need a change of clothing. You've been in that for a full 24 hours."

All the males turned to look at him, Hunny and Mori quizzically, while the twins frowned. Haruhi uttered her reply, "Ok" without turning, so she didn't see the look Kyouya gave the rest.

Reluctantly, they followed Kyouya into the lift and downstairs, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Once they were in the car park lobby, he started with, "I know who crashed into Tamaki"

The twins looked on sullenly while the other two perked up.

"It was my sister."

Silence reigned.

Everyone was shocked.

Both Kaoru and Hikaru didn't know that he would actually tell the truth, and the other two couldn't even digest this piece of information.

Kyouya continued calmly, "But please, don't tell anyone. To everyone else, the accident that happened at Swiss Road was caused by a hit and run driver named Benjamin Jones, aged 24, a known drink driver. Even to Haruhi it will seem this way, for now. No one else must know. No one else will know."

"When can we tell her?" Hunny asked, after yet another silence.

Kyouya deflated.

"I don't know," he admitted.

--------------------------------------

Once more, the emergency room was emptied, and the doctors and nurses filed out. This time, the doctor stayed.

"Your fiance will be alright. In a few days, he will be prancing around without a care in the world."

It was as though life became an option to Haruhi once more. Tamaki was going to be okay! They could still be married!

It was going to be fine again.

She took her phone out and called Kyouya immediately.

Suddenly one of the waiting chairs started vibrating. She recognized it as his phone, so she stopped the call and dialed Kaoru's number.

After a single ring he picked up and she yelled, "HE'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. PRAISE THE LORD, HE'S GOING TO BE FINE!"

Kaoru responded more or less with the same enthusiasm, saying, "OH MY F… That's great! We're getting the car ready, we should be back soon."

Before he put down the phone, he was already saying, "Hey guys! Tamaki's going to be fine!"

Haruhi went over to the seat to get Kyouya's cell. She was actually rather shocked at him for leaving such an important device behind; he must be really worried.

The nurses told her to go home, because visiting hours were long over, and that she had to leave. But even though she couldn't stay, she could peek into the room where her fiancé was. So she settled down into one of the chairs and prayed, thanking Him for his graciousness.

Then she grew bored, and fiddled with Kyouya's high tech phone.

By accident, she pressed something and saw all his missed calls.

The latest one, was her.

But the one that interested her most was the other one, Mariah Jones, who had called eight times.

Who was she?
