Chapter 4
"Excuse me, but where would we find Suoh Tamaki's hospital room?"
Haruhi fidgeted anxiously, as Hunny clung to her leg with one arm, the other holding a box of strawberry cake. Hikaru and Kaoru wandered the halls, and Kyouya was draped around Mori's shoulders, sound asleep. The secretary glanced up at her then flipped through the checklist.
"Let's see…umm…," she turned the pages rapidly, finally stopping at one and running her finger down the list.
"Suoh…Suoh… ahh, here we go," the secretary pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and read off the paper.
"Suoh Tamaki, room 105, second floor."
Haruhi nodded and thanked her, then turned to leave. But before she and the group walked out of room, she heard the secretary say quietly, "She must be his girlfriend," causing Haruhi's face to flush beet red.
Kaoru popped out of nowhere, and seeing Haruhi's red face, he asked, "Hey, Haruhi, are you okay?"
Hikaru appeared beside him and grinned slyly. "I bet she was embarrassed by what that secretary said!"
Haruhi immediately denied it, glaring at the two troublemakers and walked ahead, leaving the rest of the group behind.
Hunny stared after her worriedly, then turned to look back at everyone else.
"Is Haru-chan okay?" he asked, his hands clutching the box even tighter.
Mori set a hand Hunny's shoulder and nodded, causing Kyouya to stir.
"Minna, hurry up!" Haruhi's voice drifted around the corner and the four boys ran to catch up.
As the group rounded the corner, on the third door to the left, the numbers 105 were delicately carved into the middle. Haruhi took a deep breath and knocked softly, while Mori dumped Kyouya into a nearby chair and the twins pressed their faces against the windows. Hunny had opened the flap of the box and was examining the cake, his eyes round and eager to try it later.
The door creaked open and a nurse with short blond curls stepped out into the hallway and shut the door carefully behind her. Her serious gaze was briefly touched with surprise at finding so many people waiting outside the door.
"What is the meaning of this?" she demanded, glancing from face to face for an explanation.
Haruhi informed her meekly that they were here to see Tamaki, but the nurse only shook her head. The group was surprised, why were they not allowed in?
The nurse cleared her throat and said quietly, "Suoh-san has not been officially declared out of danger yet, I'm not quite sure visitors should be allowed." She paused, then looked out the window.
"But," she said hesitantly, "there has been something he keeps asking for every night. Someone by the name of 'Haruhi'?"
Haruhi felt her whole face turn read and quickly put a hand to her cheeks. The twins pointed imperiously at her, saying in unison, "That's Haruhi," and smirked. Haruhi blushed furiously under the gaze of five pairs of eyes, the nurse beckoned her in, but didn't follow.
