Chapter 3

Anguish and Anger

Disclaimer-I own nothing!

Morning came too soon for both men. Maids helped the one get up for fear he would go back to bed and miss another day of school. Tamaki stood in the shower, letting the hot water wake him up. He had a full day today, nothing would be easy. He would just have to trust Kyoya, he trusted him for years, so why would it be different now? In the car he looked at his arm, he was told not to remove the bandages. He wasn't sure why exactly but he did what he was told. No one could see them any way, his uniform shirt covered them all. When the driver opened the door to let him out, he shielded his eyes. The light still bothered him and he still didn't know why.
"Have a good day at school, sir."
"Thank you." He rushed the words as he tried his hardest not to run inside the building.

Kyoya looked up to see Tamaki walk in. He looked so exhausted. As Tamaki got closer to his desk Kyoya started to beat himself up internally for not noticing sooner.
"Morning Kyoya." Tamaki plopped himself into the chair, he only did that if he was upset over something, and that wasn't something that happened a lot.

"How are you feeling?" His words were carefully placed in case anyone over heard then they wouldn't get there true meaning .
"Okay I guess, have you talked to the others yet?"
"No, I have not, you can tell them at lunch hour."
He nodded and turned to the front of the room as homeroom was starting. Kyoya wanted to tell Tamaki about the plan he created last night, but had to wait now until they got a break.

Tamaki's head was pounding by the time he went to lunch. He hadn't paid attention in any of his classes, hopefully nothing was too hard that he wouldn't be able to pick it up later. When he walked into the club room, every one was waiting for him. Kyoya must have talked to them since they never met before school was out.
"Mi'lord your back." Hikaru turned away from the window.

"Senpai, are you still not feeling well, you don't look good." Haruhi stared at his face. He looked away before he blurted out all that was going on. The others didn't have to know, it was bad enough he told Kyoya. Not that he didn't appreciate all he was doing for him but, now he could tell Kyoya was worried and going out of his way to help him.
"Listen everyone, I need to leave early today. I have a meeting I must attend."
Everyone was surprised to hear that. It wasn't like Tamaki to leave early. They were so confused by his recent behavior.
"Senpai, is everything okay? I think I can speak for everyone when I say this isn't like you."

He looked at Haruhi but refusing himself to lock eyes.
"I know, I'm sorry to everyone, but the meeting starts at the time we usually get out so I have to leave early to make it."
"I will be accompanying Tamaki as well, since it's a meeting my father is hosting. So do try not to make a mess of things while we are gone."
No one said anything, nothing made any sense to them. Haruhi understood the business meeting but not the look Tamaki had once Kyoya said he was going as well. Didn't Tamaki already know that, so why did he look confused? Everyone had to leave for class again, everyone was lost in thought as they left. What was it that neither person wanted the others to know?

Tamaki put on a happy face once school got out and the guests started to arrive. Everyone got too wrapped in the task at hand to worry about what happened earlier until Tamaki and Kyoya got up to leave.
"Sorry princesses but I must leave early today."
"Oh no Tamaki, are you okay?"
He laughed at their expressions. "Don't worry everything is fine, but, know that while I should focus on the meeting my mind will go back to thoughts of you."
The girls blushed at his statement as he walked away.
"Ready Tamaki?"
"Yes I am." He waited until they got outside before he asked what was bugging him since lunch, "Why are you coming with me?"
He said nothing but stayed beside him as they walked to the waiting car.

As they pulled up the driveway Tamaki started fixing his shirt and tie. He replaced his school blazer with his formal one.
"What will you do when I'm inside?"
"I'm going to be waiting here for you to get out."
"Wait here? But why, I don't even understand why you came along." He was truly curious, his mind had been wondering that for the entire trip.
"Stop worrying about it and get out of the car. You don't want to be late."
Once Tamaki was inside he told the driver to go, he had something he had to take care of.
"Hello Shima..yes I'll be there shortly...if you could please...yes, thank you." He closed the phone and stared out the window. If everything went as he planned with Tamaki then his plan would be successful.

Tamaki was seated in a chair where he had to wait for his grandmother to call for him. He kept his hands on his lap hoping that they wouldn't be sweaty. His head was pounding and he didn't know why. Was the stress getting to him, or nerves? He had to make sure he left a good impression. Since he already knew his grandmother didn't like him this had to go perfectly so maybe she would change his mind about him. He stood abruptly when someone finally got him.
"This way please, sir."
He walked down a short hallway before entering the room. His heart picked up speed as he saw his grandmother. She was sitting at the far end of a couch. Not looking up from her tea she gestured to let him enter.

"Sit down."
He quickly found a seat at the couch across from her.
"In two weeks you are going to America. There you will meet with the advisers to create a new branch of the school. You will see to the design, after you graduate high school you will instructed on the business management while at a university."
"I'm leaving Ouran?" His head shot up, he fought back tears. Why did he have to leave so soon. He was told that he would be leaving after he graduated.
"Do you have a problem with this? Remember I can send you back to France and you can have nothing."
"No, of course I have no problem with it, I was just making sure I understood correctly."
"Good, then this meeting is over. I'll send you the needed information for your transfer in two weeks."
Tamaki sat there for a moment still in a state of shock. He noticed she wanted him to leave with her glare, he stood up, bowed and left. Before he made it to the front door he ran into the bathroom. He needed to stop the tears before he saw Kyoya. The pain ripped through him, everything he worked so hard to gain was being taken away. Why was he always being punished? Was this happening because he wanted to have and share love?

Kyoya arrived back at the estate a little later then he hoped but, it didn't look like Tamaki was done with the meeting yet. He settled in his seat, who knew how long the meeting could take and he had nothing better to do but get comfortable. Not more then ten minutes had passed when he saw Tamaki come out. He looked different, something happened, his face looked off with it's color. The driver opened the door and he slid in.
"Tamaki, how was the meeting?"

He looked and smiled, trying to be as convincing as he could. "It went very well, I will be in charge of the new branch once I graduate from all my necessary schooling." The car drove off.
"To celebrate then we are going to my house, you will also be staying with me for a while."
"Oh, okay...but why, won't I be in the way?"
"You wanted my help didn't you? In finding out why you couldn't play the piano? Tamaki your such an idiot sometimes."
Tamaki folded his hands on his lap and looked at them. Again he couldn't tell Kyoya the truth. He was doing all of this for him but still he couldn't tell him what was going on.
"Yea, I know I am."
Kyoya stared at him out of the corner of his eyes. He couldn't read what was going through his mind. Soon he would though, he had weeks to watch, and study Tamaki. Then he would learn what was going on.

If I stop here then I'm not cliffhanging. I got this chapter done faster then I thought so who knows maybe I'll update again later in the week? This has nothing to do with this story much but I got to meet Vic Mignogna. He is the sweetest person I've ever met. It was an honor! Okay, with that out of the way hope you enjoyed it, please review, thanks!
