"Haruhi, I'll ask you once more, would you be my girlfriend?" He whispered as we parted, but I truly did not know what to say. I didn't know why I was so confused; shouldn't I say 'No' right away since I'm already Hikaru's Fiancée? Than why, why was I so confused about this, why couldn't I say that simple word 'No'.
"Tamaki… I… I'm sorry, I still don't know." An 'I don't know' was all that I could say at the moment, it was the best answer that I could come up with.
"Its okay Haruhi, I'll wait for you, in the mean time I'll help you decide faster." He held my hand tighter, while making me lean my head on his shoulder. We stayed like that for a while just looking out at the beautiful scenario. He gently caressed my arm; I was so comfortable by his side that soon after I fell asleep. Not knowing what happened after that, just calmly and relaxed dozing off into dreamland.

Chapter 3; Number One Priority
06/24/09 – 08/19/09
-Haruhi's P.O.V-
Waking up I came to notice that I was back in Tamaki's room. Everyone was in their deep-sleep in their futons. I crawled over to where my clothes where at and took my cell phone out. 'Its barely gonna be 8:00 in the morning! Guess Hikaru was right about me waking up early. I wonder how he's doing.'
I walked out the room with my clothes at hand, heading over to the restroom to change. On my way I asked one of the maids if I could get a tooth brush. She walked with me to the restroom, handing me a brand new tooth brush and a comb for my hair, I thanked her and she left. I changed out of Tamaki's clothes and into mine after I had brushed my teeth and washed my face. 'What should I do about Tamaki and Hikaru? They're both really important to me but sincerely I don't know what my feelings are for neither of them.' I walked back to the room, opening the door quietly, everyone was still sleeping. 'Wow, they sure can sleep.'
I went over to Tamaki's desk; on it were his school books. 'Oh what the heck, might as well study a bit.' I thought looking over his books and grabbing the Japanese Lit book, starting from chapter one. As I began to read chapter one I understood some of the lecture but not much. I looked for a dictionary and lucky me I found one on Tamaki's desk. It was Japanese to English dictionary which I used to take some notes, which I wrote down on a notebook that I took from Tamaki. 'I hope he doesn't mind me writing on his notebook.'
I went over the chapter more than a couple of times until I finally understood it all. I did the same with chapters two and three, when I was about to go over chapter four, I felt two-manly hands landing on my shoulders.
"Haruhi, what are you doing?" Tamaki questioned still sounding a bit sleepy.
"Studying" I replied as I continued on to chapter four.
"Aah it's still so early, when did you get up?"
"Around eight o'clock." I looked over at my cell phone; it was nearly 10 in the morning. I turned to see if the rest were still asleep, they weren't. Nunnalie and Kiara had left the room, probably to the restroom while Chun and Takumi were still trying to completely wake up.
"I'll go order the maids to make us breakfast." Tamaki said as he left the room.
I looked over at the guys, putting aside the school books. "Hey guys, help me pick up the futons before Tamaki comes back." I said as I stood up and walked over to them.
"Shouldn't we leave that to the maids?" Chun-Kun questioned as he forcefully got up
"Come on Chun, we can't let the maids do all the work. They need their rest." I said as I started to pick up the futons, folding them on the side, Takumi semi-gladly helping me out.
"Fine…" Chun said as he too started to help, putting the futons away. Nunnalie and Kiara returned, dressed and refreshed. The guys leaving soon after all the futons had been put away.

"Good Morning Haru-Chan." Nunna-Chan said sitting on the floor in front of the Kotatsu.
"Good Morning Nunna-Chan, Kiara-Chan." I replied doing the same.
"Nh… Good Morning Haru-Chan." Kiara-Chan said as she stretched herself sitting next to Nunnalie. "You woke up early, uh?" She questioned me as soon as she had taken her seat.
"Yeah, just a bit."
"Where'd Tamaki go?" Nunna-Chan questioned soon after.
"To get breakfast ready for us, I wonder what it's gonna be this time, last night's dinner was 110% Delicious." I cheerfully said, and as if on cue, Tamaki walked into the room already out of his sleeping wear.
"Hey good morning, I heard you girls talking about me, what have you decided on leaving Chun and being mine, Kiara-Chan?" Tamaki asked playfully
"Nope, not even."
"Tch, strike one." Tamaki acted as if something sharp had gone through his heart then continued onto Nunna-Chan "What about you, Nunnalie, have you finally realized your true feelings for me?"
"Sorry, I have already fallen for some one older." She turned to look at me, smiling and blushing a bit. Of course she had meant Kaoru.
"Aaah, strike two, well they do say that the third is the charm. So Haruhi, how about you, have you fallen desperately in love with me?" I could tell by the tone of his voice that he was just half- joking about it.
"Sorry Tama-Kun, but that whole 'The Third is The Charm' thing, did not work so well here. Besides, we were actually talking about breakfast, not so much about you." He faked falling to the floor, devastated by all three of our answers.
"I was rejected by three different girls in a row, how could that be possible?" We all began to laugh, loudly and uncontrollably. We kept on laughing but I could feel Tamaki's glare, his eyes were met with mine and even though our laughter did not stop, we seemed to have had a serious moment.
'He meant what he asked, uh? He really wants to know my answer, doesn't he?' I turned, breaking the contact between our eyes. I looked over at Tamaki's desk, at the books. 'I can't be thinking about having a relationship with anyone right now, I need to concentrate on achieving my goal and becoming one of the Top Students that is my Number One priority at the moment.' I turned back to look at Tamaki, who now seemed confused and gave him an, I'm sorry smile. 'Once I get back home, I'll have to end things with Hikaru… I cannot be flustered by anything through out this month.' Tamaki seemed somewhat disappointed as if he had read my mind or something, but ended up shaking it off and just giving me an 'It's OK' smile.
Chun and Takumi returned, followed by the maids with trays of food. We all sat around the Kotatsu, the same we had been the day before, Tamaki besides me and Takumi perpendicular to me, Kiara in front of me and Chun in front of Tamaki while Nunnalie was perpendicular to Chun. We ate our breakfast, it was delicious as I had expected; Pancakes with fried bacon on the side, three different types of syrup, normal, blueberry and raspberry, served with both milk and orange juice.
We talked, we laughed and we joked around, all while still eating breakfast.

"Hey guys, well I had fun, but I outta be heading back home." I said as soon as we had all finished. I really needed to set things clear with Hikaru.
"Aaw, you sure you have to leave already, can't you stay a little longer?" Nunna-Chan semi-whined
"Sorry, I really have to settle things back at home, it's kinda bothering me not knowing what happened after I left." I wasn't lying; I did want to know why Hikaru had called me all paranoid he seemed fine when I left.
"Okay, I understand." She gave up right away.
'Guess she thinks it has something to do with Kaoru.' I thought as I grabbed my cell phone, dialing Aisawa's number. "I'll ask Aisawa to come and pick me up, excuse me for a second." I said as I left the room, I also wanted to ask him about Hikaru, and I couldn't in front of everyone.
"Hello?"
"Aisawa, can you come and pick me up?" I asked with a sweet and innocent tone of voice, hoping he wouldn't be mad at me because of yesterday.
"After what you did to me yesterday you expect me to just go pick you up, without even an apology?" I could tell right away that he was just messing with me, but I followed his little act.
"Come on Aisawa; don't be like that, I'm sorry."
"Fine, just because you asked nicely."
"You're the best." I laughed a bit, and then turned serious. "By the way, have you seen Hikaru? He didn't look so well when I left." Of course I lied.
"No, I haven't seen him at all. I went to the main house after dropping you off but he wasn't home, supposedly he had gone for a walk. You're dad was there as well, waiting on him, but he didn't come back at all. I may not know where he spent the night but it wasn't at home." That did NOT make me feel better; in fact it made me wonder if he was at another girl's house.
"Oh, ok… uhm, come pick me up please." I hanged up before he could say anything else. 'Should I call him? But what if he answers and ends up being with another girl? Argh, Hikaru! I'm not gonna call him, I already decided on ending things with him, so why even bother.' I walked back into the room, clenching my phone.
"So, is someone picking you up?" Kiara-Chan asked, she was in Chun-Kun's arms, they looked so cute together.
"Yeah, Aisawa-Kun is on his way. Tamaki, earlier today I wrote on one of your notebooks, taking notes over the chapters, was that ok?" I said, pointing over at his desk.
"So that's what you were doing so early." He walked over to his desk, grabbing the notebook I had written on, flipping a couple of pages. "If you want you can take it, it has notes from earlier chapters, so they might help you out." He handed me the notebook with a smile on his face.
"Are you sure it's ok?" I asked just to make sure.
"Yeah, don't worry about it, take it." I did as told, and took it from him.
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it." Everything around us seemed to have disappeared, the only living things seemed to have been Tamaki and me, that was until Chun and Kiara coughed a couple of times.
"And so, once again they disappear into their own little world." Takumi calmly and expressionless stated.
"Shut up!" I said as I walked over to everyone, gently pinching Takumi's cheeks. We all laughed again, every time we were all together, that was the only thing that we could do, just laugh while having fun with each other.
Tamaki joined a couple of minutes after, placing his arms around Kiara-Chan's and Chun-Kun's shoulders'. "Uhm, you wanna know what I think guys. I bet that the actual couple is the one sitting in front of us. Just look at them, they seem to be way too friendly with each other, am I right, or am I right?"
"Takumi we've been discovered… as you can see him and I are all Lovey-Dovey, right Taku-Kun?" We all turned to look at Takumi who was madly blushing.
"Wow, are you guys seeing this, Takumi is actually blushing!" Chun-Kun as always just teased Takumi, but come on, he couldn't help it, even I had to agree that Takumi blushing was a shocker.
We continued to joke around with one another, making fun of each other and just having a blast. A maid walked into the room, but not before knocking and receiving an okay.
"Ms. Haruhi, your ride has arrived." She sweetly said.
"Well it seems that I gotta go now, I'll talk to you guys later or see you on Monday at school."
"Ok, take-care Haru-Chan." Everyone stood to give me a hug good-bye; I followed the maid to the front gates soon after that.
"Thank you." I said as she walked me to the car as well. She vowed and went back inside.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" Aisawa questioned right after I had gotten in the car.
"I did and I got to know everyone much better." I leaned my head on the window and closed my eyes; weirdly I had actually gotten tired. 'The only thing now is that I feel guilty, they still know nothing about me and it's not as if I can easily tell them.'
"Did you get enough sleep?" He questioned with concern in his voice.
"Yes, I actually did…" I yawned "I don't know why I feel tired."
"You probably exhausted yourself with all the fun you were having. Lean the seat back so you can at least take a short nap." He patted my head as I did as told.
I turned to my side, facing Aisawa. "Aisawa, you've always been so nice and gentle with me..." I yawned once more, this time Aisawa caressed my forehead down to my cheek and back.
"You've always been my precious little girl, how could I not treat you with gentleness? You've always been family to me."
"Thank you…" I yawned before continuing. "Why couldn't it have been you the one I'd be engaged to?" I couldn't hold it any longer and ended up falling asleep.

-Aisawa's P.O.V-
"Why would you say that? Hikaru is really lucky to have you by his side, I don't know if I'm someone to be compared to him. Haruhi, you…" I looked over at Haruhi, but she had already fallen asleep. 'Eeeh, she looks so adorable, sleeping like a kitten!' I had to squealed in my head, ever since she was a little kid, I always adored the way she slept, curling up in a ball, looking just exactly like a kitten. "I'm really happy to have you and Kaoru by my side again, both of you are a huge part of my life. Kaoru being my cousin, I love him as one, but you… Haruhi you're different, you're like the adorable, cute, and sweet little sister I always begged my parents to have." (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: LOl, what you guys thought I was gonna make him another one of Haruhi's suitors? Well no, she already has too many, and her head is already out of control, I don't wanna cause her any more trouble... At least not yet)
We finally arrived back home, I intended on letting Haruhi rest at my house as I carried her out the car, but someone was already waiting for our arrival. "Yo' Hikaru, where have you been?" I whispered as I handed Haruhi over to him.
"Aah, I just went over to 'the secret place' to cool off a bit." I said nothing more as he walked away towards the main house, still with Haruhi in his arms.
I looked down at my arms then up at the couple walking away. 'Aaw, he took away My Princess.' I quietly weep while walking inside my house.

-Normal P.O.V-
Hikaru gently placed her on his bed, covering her up with his bed-sheet. He placed the notebook she was carrying on his night table, not paying much attention to its interior.
He lay on his side, gazing at her sleeping expression, caressing her cheek. 'She looks the same as when she was a little girl.' He thought with a smile on his face.
"Hikaru… am I… important…?" Haruhi's sleep talking caught him extremely by surprise.
'Why would she ask something like that?' He thought, sitting up on the bed. 'Haruhi…' He reached his hand to caress her cheek, but as soon as he was about to touch her fragile skin, she turned, giving him her back.
He got up the bed and walked out the room. 'I'll show you how important you are.' He called over as much maids as possible giving each one of them two-three orders. He ordered for Flowers and Chocolates, a Dinner to Remember, Music for The Souls, a Beautiful Night Scenario at the Garden and much, much more. He was gonna give her a night to remember, the date of her dreams. (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Keeping it PG: 13, of course.)
