How's this for a quick update? Compared to my previous Ouran fic which hasn't been updated in about five months) writing this went by really quickly! I present to you, the final half of 'A Broken Promise'. Please enjoy!

AN: Oh, and please excuse any slight spelling or grammar mistakes. I double checked, and didn't see any painfully obvious ones, but I always manage to overlook some.

The moment Haruhi stepped into the hospital, she was instantly greeted by two women. Naturally, Kyouya had been rushed to one of his family's hospitals, and seeing that they had been together for three years now, the hospital staff was aware of who she was.

"Fujioka-sama, right this way," one of the women said softly and placed a gentle hand on Haruhi's back. She turned around to glance at Mori and Tamaki, who had settled down in the chairs in the waiting room.

"We will come up in a few minute, just go see him," Tamaki said, and Haruhi nodded and followed the woman towards the elevator. While they waited for the elevator, a tall man approached the two women.

"You must be Haruhi Fujioka, Kyouya's fiancée, correct?" Haruhi turned and simply nodded.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Akito Ootori; I am Kyouya's older brother, and coincidentally, the doctor taking care of him." He said and offered his hand to Haruhi. She shook it silently and followed him into the elevator.

"It's nice to meet you too. What happened to Kyouya?" Haruhi asked as she watched the number above the elevator doors rise.

"Well, from what I was informed, the accident occurred almost an hour and a half ago. His driver pulled out into an intersection and a drunk driver blew the red light and t-boned the car on Kyouya's side. He is truly lucky he wasn't killed on the spot," Akito said as he absentmindedly shuffled through the files in his hands.

Haruhi simply nodded and bit her lip to stop the tears. In her current state, she barely heard Akito as he explained her fiancée's condition to her.

He wasn't killed on the spot...that means he is going to be okay, right? He will still be there when I get to his room. Everything is going to be alright...

The loud beep of the elevator brought Haruhi back to her senses. As the group of three exited the elevator, the nurse placed a comforting hand on Haruhi's shoulder. "Hang in there dear, things will work out for you in the end," she said and smiled politely.

Haruhi nodded and managed a half-smile. "Thank you, I hope so," she said softly. The nurse waved and stepped back into the elevator. When the doors had closed, Haruhi turned and followed Akito down to the last room on the right. Akito stopped outside of the room, one hand hovering over the handle. "I'm going to let him know you're here and send his other visitors out. Excuse me a moment," he said softly and slipped inside the room.

The silence was almost too overwhelming for Haruhi at that moment. Everything was too quiet, and she clenched her eyes shut to stop the flow of tears that threatened to escape. She clenched the soft fabric of her pajama shorts so hard that her knuckles turned white.

Her head snapped up when she heard the door open softly. She was greeted by the somber expressions of Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey. Honey looked at her and smiled halfheartedly. The saddened expression on all of their faces was almost enough to break her heart. Haruhi shot back an equally saddened smile as she took a deep breath and tried to compose herself as best as she could.

Haruhi slipped inside the room and shut the door behind her. Akito turned around from Kyouya's bedside and looked at Haruhi before retreating to a chair in the far corner of the room. Haruhi stifled a gasp as she took in Kyouya's exhausted appearance.

His body was covered in a blanket that reached his chest, but she could see the bulky outline of a cast on his right leg. He had many large cuts and scrapes on both of his arms, many of which were covered in bandages. He had numerous IVs sticking out of his arms, which were all hooked up to equally intimidating machines. His face was bruised and he had a nasty gash on his forehead among other small scrapes. His glasses were nowhere to be found, as expected, which left him squinting at Haruhi, who stood paralyzed in the doorway.

Despite his current condition, he couldn't help but smile as his fiancée walked into the room. "Hello Haruhi," he said. His voice was hoarse and cracked numerous times, but that didn't hide the happiness.

At the sound of his voice, Haruhi stumbled forward towards his bed. She sat down on the edge of his bed and slipped her hand into his. She bit back tears as she smiled down at him. "Hi Kyouya."

Behind her, she could hear the door open slowly. She turned her head to see Tamaki and Mori slip inside and sneak over to sit by Akito. Haruhi turned her attention back to Kyouya, who reached up with his free hand to lightly brush the bangs away from her eyes. She couldn't bear to talk about his condition at the moment, as she surely wouldn't be able to maintain her composure. She quickly racked her mind for a different topic. "Hey Kyouya, do you know what would be lovely?" She said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes dear?" Kyouya asked, the loving smile still present on his handsome features. The smile on his face soon disappeared, however, as he winced in pain. Akito dropped his files and made his way over to the other side of Kyouya's bed as one of the machines began beeping rapidly. Haruhi began to panic, but she continued on.

"When you get out of here and we can go back home, maybe we could start thinking of starting our own family...we are going to get married soon, so I think it should be about time to think about those sorts of things, r-right? A-and we can move out of that apartment, and maybe go l-live in that cabin, you k-know, the one you p-proposed in." Although Haruhi did her best to stay positive for Kyouya's sake, her voice still trembled and shook in fear.

Even through the wave of pain that passed over Kyouya's face, he still managed to smile weakly up at her. "Of course, I would love that. Like I promised, we would grow old together in the house, no matter what life brought upon us. I'd still love you, forever and always."

From the other side of the bed, Akito, who had been silent the entire time, let a small, choked sound escape from his body. When he turned to look at Haruhi, she knew things weren't going well. Akito walked back to the corner where Mori and Tamaki sat, awaiting news. Although his voice was almost too quiet, Haruhi could make out a few select words; 'internal bleeding' and 'kidney failure'.

At this point, Haruhi couldn't stop the tears that fell from her face. She buried her face in Kyouya's chest as the sobs shook her entire body. Kyouya, who had not heard his brother, ran his fingers through Haruhi's hair soothingly as she cried. She squeezed his hand to the point where it hurt, but pain was nothing new to him at this point, so he made no move to stop her. He glanced up at Tamaki and Mori, who looked equally distraught. Seeing Mori showing so much emotion truly shocked him. Before he could open her mouth, Haruhi's head shot up. She smiled briefly at Kyouya before making her way over to Tamaki, Mori, and Akito, leaving him even more confused than he already was.

Haruhi wiped her face on her sleeve and took a few deep breaths before looking at Akito. "Akito, I have a favor to ask of you."

Akito set his papers down and turned to face Haruhi. "I'm listening."

"I k-know things aren't looking good for K-Kyouya right now, I h-heard you t-talking about it," Haruhi had to stop for a moment to try and stop the tears that had begun to flow again. Mori stood up and rubbed her back reassuringly as they patiently waited for her to continue quietly.

"I'm s-sorry. As I was s-saying...I want to marry Kyouya, before..." Haruhi trailed off, but Akito needed no further explanation. He nodded solemnly and picked up the phone behind him. He began speaking hurriedly to whoever was on the other line, and Haruhi turned towards Tamaki and Mori. "Thank you guys for picking me up and bringing me here. If it weren't for you two...I w-wouldn't have known," she whispered and hugged both of them tightly.

Tamaki smiled at her and nodded. "Of course, anything for such a close friend of ours, Haruhi. Excuse me, I'm going to call the others in as well," he said and quickly walked out of the room. When he entered again, he was followed by a handful of nurses and a priest. Akito turned to Haruhi and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "There is a couple in the room next to us, and I'll ask them to supply rings for the ceremony. Excuse me." He turned and left quickly.

Tamaki, the twins, and Honey made their way over to Haruhi and Mori. Before Haruhi could explain, Hikaru held a hand up, silencing Haruhi. "Tono already explained everything to us, it's okay," he said.

From across the room, Kyouya struggled to sit up slightly. Haruhi rushed over and sat on his bedside once more. "Kyouya, please don't push yourself, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Too late for that Haruhi," he said with a light chuckle, which only earned a frown from Haruhi. Kyouya sighed before continuing. "Haruhi, what is going on? Why are there so many people in here?"

"Kyouya, you and I both know that things aren't looking up right now, and I hate to admit that. So, j-just in case, I asked your b-brother if it was o-okay to get married, right n-now," Haruhi said and slipped her hand into his again. He gave it a reassuring squeeze as he smiled up at her.

"Of course, Haruhi," Kyouya said softly. The couple looked up as Akito stepped into the room, followed by Kyouya's father himself. He looked at Haruhi questioningly, and she nodded. The priest, who had been waiting patiently, made his way over to the bed and waited until the room fell silent. When the only sound in the room was the steady beep of the EKG, the priest spoke.

The pastor's speech went by in a blur, as Haruhi was really only focused on Kyouya's face. When it came time for the vows, she paused and took a deep breath.

"I, Haruhi Fujioka, take you, Kyouya Ootori, to be my lawfully wedded husband. Even if this was not the wedding we had thought of when you first proposed to me, know that I want you forever, forever and always. Through the good and the bad and the ugly, we'll grow old together. And always remember, whether happy or sad or whatever, we'll still love each other, forever and always."

Kyouya couldn't contain the smile on his face as he looked up at the beautiful brunette staring down at him. Haruhi smiled through the tears, but made no move to wipe them from her face. Everyone in the room couldn't help but cry at the moment, which made Haruhi giggle lightly. Soon, the whole room was filled with joyous laughter. For a moment, they all seemed to forget the whole reason they were going through with the spontaneous wedding.

Haruhi's heart almost stopped as she watched Kyouya's eyes flicker shut.

"Kyouya? Kyouya, no! Please...please don't go...not right now..." The room fell silent with the exception of Haruhi's desperate pleas. Tamaki covered his mouth with his hand as he began to cry silently. The twins could only stare on helplessly, and Honey turned and buried his face in Mori's broad chest.

Much to Haruhi's relief, Kyouya's eyes opened slowly. He reached up and gingerly brushed the tears away from her face. He pulled her face down to place a long kiss on her forehead. When he pulled away, the beeps on the EKG were slowing down rapidly. He slipped both of his hands in Haruhi's and opened his mouth to speak. When he said her name the first time, it was too quiet for anyone but himself to hear.

"Haruhi...I love you so much. I have loved you since the first day I met you, and I will continue to love you. Please just remember, even if I'm not there, I'll always love you, forever and always..."

As he uttered the last words, he squeezed Haruhi's hands one last time before closing his eyes. Beside them, the EKG flat-lined. The noise alone was almost deafening as Haruhi simply stared at Kyouya helplessly. She froze, still clutching his hands tightly, as if squeezing them hard enough would manage to bring him back. "No...no Kyouya...this can't be happening.." Haruhi threw her arms around Kyouya's lifeless body and hugged him tightly as she sobbed for what seemed like hours. Kyouya's father stepped around the side of the bed and pulled the plug from the EKG, and the long beep faded out.

One by one, the former hosts and nurses filed out of the room, all sobbing and wiping at the tears that wouldn't stop. Akito slipped the rings in his jacket pocket, deciding that he would return them later. He placed a hand on Haruhi's back and rubbed it soothingly, much like Mori had done earlier. She looked up, her eyes red and swollen from crying so hard. "Haruhi, I know this is tough for you right now, but it's time to go," Akito said quietly and wiped at the tears that fell from his own eyes.

Haruhi let out one final sob before standing up and looking at he peaceful expression on Kyouya's face. Smiling sadly, she leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. She placed her forehead against Kyouya's and closed her eyes.

"Goodbye Kyouya, I love you."

AN: I apologize if any of these characters are ridiculously OOC, but given the circumstances and the amount of time since the series ended, I think it is forgivable.

So, that's it! I hope you liked it. It was kind of tough to write in spots. I wanted this to be emotional, and I really hope that I was able to portray that.
D': I am not going to lie, I cried writing this. I didn't want Kyouya to die at all, it was such a bummer killing off my favorite character… It needed to be done though, in order to stay right with the song. The song is just so romantic and sad, it really pulls at my heartstrings every time.

Speaking of the song, I'm still waiting for someone to guess the name of the song that inspired this fanfiction. So if you know, let me know in a review!

Thank you so much for reading! I really appreciate it! Until next time :)
