Haruhi: )sigh what a day I had today….but was I doing the right thing?...why am I so selfish- I don't want to hurt the Host Club yet I don't want to leave them…)

opens the door at her house

Haruhi: …..what's this?...DAD?! what are you doing here??...at this hour, shouldn't you be at work??

Haruhi's dad: Haruhi….I quit my job today….. (In a less feminine tone)

Haruhi: whaa?? why?? …what's going on??

Dad: No more makeup like this takes off his wig and rubbing off his face

Haruhi: Dad! …what's wrong with you today?...

Dad: I heard….all about you…and the host club…

Haruhi…..!! Dad…I can explain….

Dad: …I'm not mad at you Haruhi,….and you don't have to hid it any longer…the truth is always the reality we have to face….you really are naïve…. Do you think you can hide working at the Host Club forever? Even if you do, everyone's going to find out sooner or later….and so because of you, I had learned myself a valuable lesson too….I can't cross-dress like this forever…I am a father, and I should become what a father really is, inside and outside….sorry Haruhi, I was being a disgrace to you all this time…..

Haruhi: Dad….

Dad: …as for you Haruhi…you'll have to be an innocent girl from now on. My little girl. Come here to daddy.

Haruhi: … I am. Dad. I won't be lying to anyone anymore. I've already explained to everyone that I won't be working at Host Club….I…

Dad: No…not only that…I want you to move as far away from the Host Club as you can.

Haruhi: …..!! wha?? What do you mean by that? …you can't possibly mean….you can't….why??…but…..

Dad: no 'buts'…let's go….

The Next Day at Ouran High

Note: The Host Club is back to normal now- of course Tamaki had already told to the Host Club about Haruhi's leaving

Tamaki: ….This must be Haruhi's classroom….heart skipped a beat probably seeing Haruhi in the Ouran High Girl's dress.

slides open the door

Twins: oh, what a surprise. It's Milord.

Tamaki: hey, where's Haruhi? Isn't she in your class?

Twins: well yeah…but we didn't see her all day today…

Tamaki: really?...even if she didn't visit the Host Club I thought she will be in class…that's weird….

The Next Day at School

opens the door

Tamaki: Haruhi!!

Twins: ….she's not here.

Tamaki: wha? Again? …do you know where she is-??

Twins: …nope. Come back tomorrow….

The Next Day at School

(Tamaki is about to open the door….but the Twins is a step faster and opens the door instead….)

Twins: Milord, she's not here! ….we gotta go now……laterz.

Tamaki: ….Hold it right there, you two!! Something's smells fishy here-- did you two hid her somewhere to play??...hmm??

Twins: sigh no we didn't…..we seriously don't know why she hasn't come to school these past few days….sorry, but we really need to rush to our next class. See you at the Host Club…

Tamaki: ….Haruhi…..

Tamaki is standing in front of Haruhi's house

Tamaki (talking to himself): ….I wonder why Haruhi's haven't been coming to school lately….could it be that she is actually mad at us for pulling her into this mess in the first place?….maybe it was all my fault for letting her work here….I can't help but to remember how emotionally she was talking to me that day…..we have hurt her so deeply…..I ….really….what should I say to her?...and how….oh…here goes nothing…..rings the doorbell ……

ding dong ….ding dong…….ding dong………

(No reponse)

Tamaki: huh? She's not home? That's weird…..sigh……

Tamaki is out looking spacey at the sea…

Tamaki (thinking to himself): ….Haruhi….where are you?…..I missed you so much…..I wonder what you are doing right now….I really want to see you again….I….blushed

Voice: ….Tamaki??...

Tamaki turns around and look

Tamaki: …….Haruhi?!...

(Haruhi is wearing a fashionable pink dress. )

Tamaki is blushing soooo red. XD

Tamaki:…. Uh…umm…I…you….what……doing….here?

Haruhi: …..oh…you want to ask me why I wasn't at school right?

Tamaki nods. + blush.

Haruhi: well…my dad took a few days off this week and…..

Tamaki: ……still blushing……

Haruhi: …..and…..a tear appeared in her eyes …..he wanted…to help …me look for application to be accepted to a ….a…..new school……

Tamaki: …..!! …………….?? ….but why….all so sudden?? Was it something we…did?...

Haruhi: ….no…it's not you're fault….I've never blamed you guys in the first place anyways.Besides, at first, even you didn't even know I was a girl…it was all my fault for lying…to everyone….and I know I have to suffer the consequences…..

Tamaki: ………

Haruhi: ……remember I told you about that I want to be a lawyer in the future? Well, I realize I will never become a good lawyer if the lawyer herself is also the liar… I can never forgive myself for the people I have hurt at Ouran…so maybe it's for the best if I move out to somewhere a bit….you know just to calm down things a bit more….and besides, the new school I apply to-- they have a really awesome lawyer entry program…..and with Ouran's requirement, I couldn't possibly move up to their program (or get that scholarship) even after I quit the Host Club and study as much as I can Ouran's kind of strict about this program anyways ……………

Tamaki: ………

opens his mouth but couldn't even say a word ...

Haruhi: …. Well….even though we may not see each other often like we used to….I'll never forget you guys….and especially you, Tamaki…..From the first day meeting you, I had learned many things for myself and I'm truly happy that I had met you here at Ouran….smiles

Tamaki: …..Ha--

still can't say a word

Voice: …Haruhi??...where are you?? It's time we go back—

Haruhi: oh, that's my dad. " well, I gotta go now or else I'll be in big trouble if my dad finds us here….goodbye head lowered…a tear dropped from her face ….. Running away from the direction of Tamaki…

There is quite a distance between Haruhi and Tamaki now

Tamaki is just staring into space……and suddenly he closes his eyes, a tear dropped down from his face, and the words came bursting very clear from his mouth:

Tamaki: ….NOO HARUHI!! PLEASE DON'T GO!! …………………

Suddenly, Everything's gone black and Tamaki founds himself lying on his bed…..

Tamaki: …wha—what was that….it was all a dream, right? But it all seems so real….her voice, her tears…..I….Haruhi…..how come I couldn't speak to you back then….there's something deep inside my heart that I haven't told you yet…..and at that moment….when you turned your back towards me…my heart suddenly ached …and my faces feels so hot….and……I….

Tamaki's house

Maid #1: oh…I wonder if Master Tamaki would be alright….

Maid #2: hmm…from my experiences, I think he is Lovesick!

Maid #3: Eeeehh?! Is it true? You mean he finally has met the Princess of his dream but doesn't realize his true feelings for her?? How sweet!! Eeee!! 33

Maid #4: hear this you guys, when he was sleeping, he kept mumbling 'Haruhi…don't go….don't leave me….I…"

Maid #5: Poor Master Tamaki….do you think we should help him out….??

Voice: ….Help him on what?

Maids: EEeeee!! Don't scare us like that!! (What are you guys doing here? how did you guys sneak in anyways?)

Twins: oh. We're sorry if you think we are eavesdropping…

Maid #1: well…you didn't really hear the whole thing right?

Twins: of course not, we just came.

Kyoya: I heard that Tamaki fell unconscious during broad daylight (it was reported from my men to be like this; one of them saw the whole thing ….)

Hunny: I'm sooo worry about Tama-chan He doesn't seem to be his normal self lately….I wondered why…..

Mori: …..Haruhi.

Hunny: …eh? Takashi did you just say 'Haruhi'? …..oh…what you meant is….

(Hunny finally reads his mind correct this time )

Twins, Hunny (w/ Mori + Kyoya in the background): Milord is LOVESICK!!

(Over Haruhi!!)

Kaoru: …hey Hikaru…you okay?

Hikaru: …. Wha?...yeah…I'm fine…

Kaoru: ………

Maid: oh you guys going already??

Twins: yeah….besides, there's no point in staying here anyways…we can't do much help for Tamaki this time….

Hunny: that's right, he has to come to his senses and realize his true feelings himself…right Takashi?

Mori: ……

Kyoya: …yes…that's right…

Hikaru: hey Kyoya, what are you doing over there talking on the phone for?...

Kyoya: …oh it's nothing. Let's go.

Kyoya thinking to himself: Tamaki, this is all I can do to help you now….but you got to make a note to yourself later that you better repay me double- no triple- back, you hear that?!

(wow…what a devil's plan. XD )

since this matter rides on your love life, to my calculations, it is approximately about 70 of your lifetime. So…hehe

20 minutes later after the group left

huff huff

Voice: ….I got to hurry…..what if he found out I sneaked out from the bedroom?!...

Maid #4: Oh! Who are you?

Voice: …umm…is this Tamaki Suoh's mansion?

Maid #4: well, yes, that's right….and who might you be?

Voice: oh sorry about being so rude. I'm Haruhi Fujioka and I'm a friend of Tamaki's…I heard about he fell unconscious today…I was worried and want to visit him…is this not a good time to…??

Maid #4: so you're THE Haruhi Master Tamaki was mumbling about in his dreams?!…. Hehe. It's my pleasure to meet our future princess like this!! shake hands

Haruhi: ….uh…huh?.

Maid #4: well, don't just stand there…come in, please do come in…I'm sure Master Tamaki would LOVE to see you here.

Tamaki's Room

Haruhi: ….Tamaki?

Tamaki: ….oh….whose there?...I….wha?! ……….blushed…..Haruhi?!...

Haruhi: umm…yea….sorry to visit you at a time like this…but I heard you fell unconscious right after I left…I got so worried when I picked up a phone call from Kyoya's men…. "

Tamaki: …..blushed…umm….

Haruhi: ….If it was my fault that had made you like this-- I'm truly sorry….I know I shouldn't have said those things back then--it must have hurt you a lot….but don't worry, you guys could always come see me at my new school or maybe I can come visit you guys at the Host Club once in a while too….so don't be sad, okay?? /

Tamaki: …..Haruhi…it's not that…I …want….say ….

Haruhi: ….??

Tamaki:…..there's something….I want to….tell you….but I don't…don't know….how to explain it…..I….cough

Haruhi: ….whoa you gotta take it easy…. grabs him and smiles sweetly.

Tamaki: his face turns completely bright red XD

AHhhh!! NO!! Haa--harru--hi—Don--Don't come any—closer!!….I --I ……..can hear his own heart beat thumping…./

Haruhi: uh…okay….but, Tamaki, do you think I should call the maids?? (shouldn't there be at least one maid in your room, like doing services? How I come I can't even see one here? Strange….)

(Reason the maids are all standing outside of Tamaki's room peering inside and seeing the whole scene. Hehehehe…./ )

Tamaki: ….Haruhi….it's okay…..umm….don't….go…. blushed

Haruhi: huh?...sure. but I can only stay a bit longer, but not too long cuz my dad will find out I sneaked out to see you. Haha. ….

Tamaki: ……smiles blushing…..

-- 5 minutes of Silence--

(Haruhi looks around Tamaki's room: hmm…is it just me or did his room got a bit different than the last time we visited him? (vol. 9 ) I guess rich people like to renovate their mansions once in a while….)

(Anyways, Tamaki is like really staring at Haruhi now….. )

Haruhi (noticed Tamaki staring at her ): …….?? Uhh…Is there something on my face??...

Tamaki: …..blush….umm….no….I just want to…..you….do you really think I……

Haruhi: ……?? Something you want to ask me?? …..

Tamaki: …. Haruhi…..am I….like your father? ……blush……….

Haruhi: …..wha??--hahaha…chuckles…..are you still reffering us, the host club members, those family names again? Haha…well I mean at first, I found it funny to hear but then I got used it since we are "like" a family- we've been through so many things together—however, to find that you are still referring yourself as my father now….well….I don't really think so because you see, I already have a father. /

Tamaki: …..!! ….then….what am I….to you?...blush /

Haruhi: Tamaki, you are a great friend to me. smiles

Tamaki: …a great friend….I see….but….then why….my heart….still…..ache….

Haruhi (looks at the time): oh no!! …sorry Tamaki, I gotta go now or else my dad will…!!.

Tamaki suddenly grabs her hand….

Haruhi: ….huh??...

Tamaki: …..Haruhi…can you ….stay with me …a bit …longer??... (blushes)

Haruhi: ….umm….I'd like to but if I don't leave now…I'll….

Haruhi accidentally trips off from her shoes cuz Tamaki was still grabbing her when she wanted to move her legs…

And she fell…….to…

Haruhi: oww oww……I'm so sorry, Tamaki. Are you okay?...

Tamaki: …..blushed ….yea…I'm fine….haha……but you were quite…heavy on me though…..

Haruhi: ….hey!…it was an accident and……?? Wha--??…..umm…Tamaki??...what are you doing?...

Tamaki puts his hand on her shoulders

(Tamaki looked right into Haruhi's eyes. Their faces are now like 5 cm away. /)

Haruhi (thinking to herself): (……slightly blushed ……whaa?? What just happened? …..umm….why is he starring me like this for?...and what's with those eyes of his….they're like…..so different from before…)

Tamaki: …….blushed ……Haruhi….can….you…….come…..a bit……closer?...I want to tell….you…..I……

Haruhi: …..aaaahhhhhhh!! Tamaki--wha --whaaaa areee….you doing?? blush

Tamaki: …..uh….I'm sorry…Haruhi….I…..blushed

Haruhi: ……I—I--rea- really …..gottt--gotta--uh…--go now!!...see ya!! rushes out the door like an airplane……………

Haruhi (thinking): …Hey, what was that all about?! …..Tamaki…he was…..didn't my heart skipped a bit back then...and why was I blushing so hard for??...oh!! I shouldn't be thinking about this right now…I gotta hurried back home!! …./

Tamaki (at his bed): ….Haruhi…..now I truly understand….all I really wanted to say to you was….."I liked you a lot". (Not as a 'father'! ) blushed ……….

Now that Tamaki has finally realized his true feelings for Haruhi…Can he really confess his love to her??...And how does Haruhi feels about Tamaki now?

Stay tuned for the next final chapter-- "Sakura Kiss"!!
