Life was awkward. In the past two days, the whole Host Club had picked up on the senpais' "situation". It had everyone walking on eggshells. Nothing like this had happened between the two before. Kyouya seemed to be the only one unaffected by their distancing. That is, until I caught him frowning over yet another black notebook. "Is something wrong, Kyouya-san?" He glanced up at me, his glasses glinting in the light. "Hunny-senpai's profit rate has gone down in the past three days. If his problem isn't fixed soon, we may have to take matters into our own hands." I watched him quizzically. Did Kyouya-san know what was wrong with Hunny-senpai? He knew everything else....

I stared blankly at Mitsukuni, folding my arms in a fixated lock. Haruhi had been talking to Kyouya for the past five or ten minutes. I noted that even when she looks so male-ish, she is definitely the Host club's Pixie Princess. I closed my eyes in distaste to my new descriptions but the darkness didn't last long before I snapped open my grey orbs back into the club's room. "Mit-su-ku-ni." I mumbled through now dry lips which were made apparent by the chilling coldness of the room. Then darkness... Even I could tell it was a power cut. I slid my hand elegantly through the darkness and placed it on Mitsukuni's small but broad shoulders. Why in the hell did we have to have a pwer cut when it was dark outside?

I couldn't help the small 'eep!' that escaped my lips when we were plunged into darkness. I wasn't really scared of power outages not the dark. It had just come as a surprise. The thunder that rumbled through the room did, however, scare me. I shook all over. "It can't hurt you, it's just noise, It can't hurt you." I began to chant to myself, quietly. I heard Kyouya growl about a back-up generator and tried to focus on anything but the sound of the storm outside. That must be why the lights were out. I gulped again and tried to steady myself just as another loud clap rang through the room.

She was mumbling something by my side or maybe chanting. I couldn't tell. Me, the ever quiet and emotionless giant, wanted nothing more than to protect my cousin....and Haruhi. Mitsukuni was by my side, well, waist and was holding tight to my upper leg. When I felt him with me, I instantly squirmed my hand around to try and find Haruhi and that didn't take long, mainly because she was quivering pretty hard. I knew she was afraid of thunder and lightning. Kyouya had told me previously but no one else knew and I wasn't about to let her phobia come out clean. I pressed my large hands to her cold ears in an attempt to block out the sounds that the storm was causing. Then she looked up at me with dimly shining chocolate orbs.

I felt cold hands cover my small ears and instantly the noise of the storm quietened along with my hammering heart. I peered through the darkness to see my savior. A flash of lightning illuminated the stoic face of Mori-senpai. He was saving me again. But how did he know I was scared of the noise? I gave him a small smile and stepped closer to him. I really wanted to hide myself in his firm chest and pretend nothing was wrong while his strong arms wrapped around me but I knew that would not happen. I appeased myself by placing myself less than a foot from him. I shivered and wrapped my own arms tightly around me.

I could feel her tremble against me. I could also tell she was somewhat distancing herself from my body because whenever we got less than a foot apart, she would softly pull away a tiny bit. Even in the total darkness that held dark secrets, I saw her tears of fear but for some reason... I felt happy. She trusted me more than them. I was grateful. I was truly thankful. I turned her around in time for the lights to flicker once then die down. "Let's go." I whispered softly in her ear before pulling both her and Mitsukuni out into the hall so none of the club could see her beautiful tears.

I let him lead me from the room along with Hunny and tried to stop the tears. Even in total darkness that held dark secrets, I didn't wish for him to see them. I knew he probably already had but I couldn't...coudln't let him see my weakness. Hunny whispered through the black. "Takashi? Where are we going?" I felt the need to reply. "Yes, Takashi, where are we going?" Hunny's shock was apparent by the murmured 'Haru-chan??'
