CHAPTER 3: The Two Collide
"Let go of her," Hikaru said through clenched teeth. Gaito seemed amused by this statement. Though he seemed amused about a lot of things. The others were almost there now. "What are you going to do if I don't let go of her?" Gaito asked, his voice layered with malice. Hikaru began to charge forward. Haruhi screamed. Hikaru was lying on the ground blood gushing through his nose. Gaito was standing over him. "Seems like you can't do much, can you?" Gaito said with a chuckle. "HIKARU!" Kaoru yelled, running over to his brother. The usually cute Honey wasn't cute anymore. "What the hell do you want with Haruhi?" Honey said, not hiding the malice in his voice. This didn't seem to surprise Gaito though. "That's not really any of your business sempai," he said in a calm business like tone. This earned him a frustrated look from Honey. Haruhi was on the ground behind Gaito. She was going to say something but, fate was having too much fun with her today.
BOOM
Lighting tore through the sky silencing the group. Haruhi shrieked in fear. This just wasn't her day. Gaito turned around and was going to embrace her, which would make Haruhi even more scared, when. "I said don't touch her." Hikaru faintly yelled. The blood had stopped gushing from his nose but he still felt the pain. "You're on the ground covered in blood and you're telling me what to do?" Gaito said, he was getting pissed off. Tamaki walked forward silencing Hikaru. "You can tell you're tormenting Haruhi, so why are you doing this to her?" Tamaki asked with a lot authority in his voice. Haruhi was surprised; she had never seen Tamaki like this before. Gaito looked at Tamaki then back at Haruhi. Then he bent down so only Haruhi could hear him. Hikaru tried to stop him but was to weak to fully get up.
"See you tomorrow, Sweet Pea" and with that he vanished into thin air. The lighting also left with him. Haruhi was surprised; she couldn't believe that a person could just vanish like that. She looked over at Hikaru, who was just as shocked as she was. She looked at all the blood that had stained his clothes. Hikaru, even though you knew you were gonna get hurt you still… Haruhi sadly thought. She got up and ran to Hikaru, crying. She put her arms around him and began to cry uncontrollably. "Ha-Haruhi?" Hikaru stammered out, she could hear the embarrassment in his voice but she didn't care. Having her body pressed against his made her feel better. "Hi-Hikaru I'm so so-sorry, you got hurt because of m-me," Haruhi sobbed. The six boys were stunned, they had never seen her like this before, she never lost control like this before. Hikaru embraced her and stroked her hair. "It's okay Haruhi, I'm just glad you're safe." Haruhi felt better to hear those words. Why does Hikaru make me feel this way? Haruhi thought. A light rain began to fall gently on them. "We should take Haruhi home." Kyoya suggested. They all agreed but Hikaru didn't want to let go of Haruhi, fearing she would have another break down so he carried her into the limo and she sat on his lap all the way to her house.
Bastard Gaito thought to himself as he watched Hikaru carry Haruhi to the limo and then watched the limo drive away. He slammed his fist into the tree he was standing near.That bastard is dead meat.
