Alright, so here's Chapter Four! Remember, I don't own any of the Cannons. I just own Kennedy and her family. You'll also be getting a little bit of Tamaki's few and the bold side of Kennedy in this Chapter. She confronts Kyouya about their deal... -dun dun dun- Has anyone ever broken off a financial promise with Kyouya before?

Kyouya: Not anyone that's still alive.

Me: -gulp- Alrighty then... On with the story!

Thanks to all that have subscribed and favorited. I will try not to let you down!

Accidents Happen

Later that day I was sitting in the guest room in the home of my host family, laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. I held the prayer beads in my right hand, the one that wasn't fractured. I clasped onto the deep purple beads and held my first to my heart and closed my eyes. I'd never been religious, but I felt like I needed to pray.

"Dear Lord… I know I haven't talked to you or anything since I was little, but… Could you give me some guidance? Please?"

I opened my eyes and sighed. My attempt as praying was pitiful, but it was the best I had at the moment.

I heard a knock at the door and I rolled over on my side. "Come in."

Ms. Rikou, the lady of the house, popped her head in. "Dinner is in fifteen minutes." She looked at me for a moment and spoke again. "Are you alright?"

I nodded and gave her a soft smile. "Thank you, Ms. Rikou."

She returned my smile and shut the door, leaving me to myself. I slipped the beads back onto my wrist and dug around in my bag, looking for my cell phone. I pulled it out and slid it open, flipping to Kyouya's number. I sent him a quick text message: How many customers have I had so far?

He sent a quick reply: About forty.

I grumbled and threw my phone back in my bag, watching it bounce off a book and land by the closet. "I'm never going to get out of here…"

'Do you even want to?'

The thought popped into my head and I looked down at my feet as soon it wormed its way into my thoughts. Did I want to leave? I had made friends, sure, but were any them close to me I couldn't leave them behind?

I looked up as my phone let out a soft 'doo doo da doo doo.' I knelt down and picked it up off the floor; it was Tamaki. I hit the end call button and turned my phone off, slipping it in my pocket. I had no desire to talk to him.

'But he didn't know…'

I cursed lightly under my breath; the voice inside my head always had to be reasonable.

'You didn't tell him, so how could he know he hurt you?'

"Shut up."

'You know I'm right.'

I sighed and opened the door of my room. "I know…"

"Kennedy, dinner!"

"Come, Ms. Rikou!"

I jogged down the stairs, headed into the dining room. 'What am I going to do?'

-x-x-x-

The next day I found myself sitting in the Club room, sitting across from Haruhi. I had the prayer beads on my wrist and my cast was filled with doodles and get wells. She stared at me and moved her Knight to E6. I took it with my pawn and she smiled at me.

"You're a fine chess player."

"I play a lot in my free time."

She moved another one of her pieces and I blocked it with one of mine; I wasn't really paying attention to the game anymore. I was thinking about what the voice inside my head had said yesterday. 'He didn't know…'

I tried to shake the thought from my mind, but it stayed firmly planted.

"Kennedy, is something wrong?"

I looked up at her. "Nosey, are we?"

She smirked and placed her Bishop in front of my King. "Checkmate."

As we rearranged the chess pieces, she returned to her old question. "Is something wrong?"

"I don't know… Maybe."

"Care to elaborate on that maybe?"

"What I said to Tamaki yesterday… About him wanting to put 'Daddy's Little Girl…' I just feel bad about snapping at him."

"Did you try to apologize?"

"No… I turned off my phone when he called."

Haruhi chuckled softly. "He's use to it. I do that all the time when he calls me."

"But this time it's different…"

"Maybe you should answer next time."

"I wouldn't know what to say."

"Start with I'm sorry."

I sighed and turned around when the door opened. The others walked in, Tamaki badgering Kyouya.

"But she just hung up on me!"

"Maybe she didn't want to talk to you."

I flinched when Kyouya said that; hearing it from someone else finally brought my problem to light.

"But why wouldn't our daughter want to talk to me?"

The duo walked right passed us without evening noticing us.

"Ask her."

"I don't know where she is!"

"She's sitting on the couch, you dolt."

Tamaki turned to stare at me and his eyes started to water. "Do you hate me?"

"No…"

"Then why wouldn't you talk to me?"

"It's complicated, alright?"

"Just tell me!"

I stood up and glared at him. "I'm not your little girl, okay? I'm not anyone's little girl…"

I looked down at my feet; I couldn't look at him after what I said.

"Kennedy…" Kaoru took a step towards me, but I backed away.

"Just forget it, alright? I don't want to talk about it..."

I turned and ran out of the room, leaving my bag behind. I needed to get out of there. As I was running, my phone clattered out of my back pocket, landing on the floor.

Tamaki's Point of View

I picked up the blue slide phone and watched as Kennedy ran out of the room.

"What just happened?" Hikaru's voice pulled me out my thoughts as I watched the door close.

"I don't know…" I went to put the phone in Kennedy's bag when I saw a small bundle of about 50 or so letters. "What's this?"

I pulled them out of the bag; all of them were addressed to her. One was dated the day before she got to the school. I pulled it out of the bundle and pulled it out; it had already been opened.

"Dear Kennedy," As I read, I sat down in one of the chairs.

"I understand you not writing back, but that doesn't mean I'll stop. I know I hurt you and your mother, and you have no idea how sorry I am. Walking out on you guys is the stupidest thing I've ever done, but I don't regret anything before that. Marrying her and having a beautiful baby girl is the highlight of my life and I wouldn't change a thing.

I've been making a bit more money at work, so if you like, I could come and visit. I got promoted to Editor of the newspaper… I could buy you and your mother plane tickets if you would like to come down and see Virginia. Maryland isn't so far away…

Even if you don't write back, I'll still send another letter. Everyday I look in my mailbox to see if you sent one and I won't lose hope.

Love,

Dad."

I closed the letter and put it back in the envelope, slipping it back into the bundle. "Why didn't she tell us?"

Kaoru looked down at Tamaki. "She told me and Haruhi. She didn't tell you because of how you act. 'My daughter' and 'Daddy's little girl' doesn't help at all."

I looked down at my lap and scolded myself. "I didn't know…"

"She knows." Haruhi placed a hand on my shoulder. "She didn't know what to do about it, though… She knows you treat everyone like family, but it's different for her."

I sighed and picked up her bag, putting the bundle back in. "I'm going to go find her."

End of Tamaki's Point of View

I was sitting on a bench in the gardens, my knees pulled up against my chest. I jumped when I heard a thunk! and looked over to see my bag next to me.

"Who-"

"You could have told me, you know… I would have understood…"

Tamaki sat next to me and I let my legs down, feeling my feet press against the grass. "It's hard for me."

"I know."

"How do you know?"

"I read a letter that was in your bag…"

"You went through my things?"

"I'm sorry, Kennedy. About everything..."

"That still doesn't excuse you from what you did!"

I stood up and grabbed my bag, slinging it over my chest. "Haruhi told me not to judge you, but I think my judgments were right. You're a narcissistic jerk! Everything has to be about you!"

He stood and reached for me, but I backed up. "Don't touch me!"

"Kennedy…"

"Don't Kennedy me! You think you can just go through my things and not expect me to be mad?" I turned and walked away. "Leave me alone."

I went back to the Club room, and stood in front of Kyouya. He pushed his glasses up and raised an eyebrow.

"What did Tamaki do now?"

"He didn't do anything that you're not away of…"

"Then what do you want?"

"I'm breaking off our deal."
