Previous Chapter:
After a brief and cleverly thought out speech given by Kyouya, the customers left the third music room for he stated that host club activities were canceled for the day. They asked Haruhi if she was well enough to participate in the Spring Ball that was only three days away. She assured everyone that she would be able to but was hoping to show up dressed like a girl. After hearing this, Tamaki threw a fit and ordered her to go home. After she left with tears in her eyes, the Hosts questioned his behavior in which he responded that he wanted the old Haruhi back.

Who thought it Possible?

"Milord, what are you saying?" Hikaru asked intently.

"How much clearer do I have to make this for you? I want Haruhi back the way she was!!! I despise her the way she is now!" Tamaki's personality had completely changed. He would never say that about Haruhi. He cared for too much.

"Tama-chan, don't say that…" Hunny responded sadly. "Despise is a strong word. You don't think of Haru-chan like that."

Tamaki dropped his head in guilt. How could those words ever leave his mouth? Is this how he truly felt about Haruhi? No! He hated himself for saying that! He never picked up his head. Tamaki made his way for the door and left quietly.

"MILORD!!!" The twins shouted after him but Tamaki had already closed the door behind him.

No one went after him. Kyouya had already left his post and stood amongst the others. Silently, they acknowledged each other when finally someone said something.

"Why would Tamaki say something like that about Haruhi? He is so fond of her!!!" Kaoru spoke out of all of them.

"He is reacting strongly to the situation. This requires further observation." Kyouya said while grabbing his laptop. "Take care."

"Where are you going?" Hikaru asked looking down.

"Home. I have things that need to be done."

One by one, they scrambled.

The next day…

All the Hosts showed up. All were there but Tamaki. Everyone was still quite affected by Tamaki's outburst the day before and were awaiting his arrival. Suddenly, the doors opened with a serious boy standing behind in their shadow. He greeted them.

"Good morning…" Tamaki's first words were cold.

The members nodded in response. As he went to put his things down, Tamaki glanced at Haruhi and her pained expression. Oh how he wanted to go up to her and apologize until he couldn't breathe anymore but he was too ashamed.
The customers entered and were greeted formally by the Hosts. They were also glad to see Haruhi feeling better and back in school. Haruhi responded to them as if nothing had happened to her and that confirmation eased the members. Everyone was doing their job properly but someone was not himself. Tamaki barely spoke amongst his customers. He spent that time staring at Haruhi. He sat in a single chair, not a couch like he usually did. His arms were crossed as were his legs and his eyes were fixed on Haruhi. Though he was looking at her because he was worried, his eyes seemed cold and emotionless. His customers found his position quite intense. They weren't disappointed whatsoever with his circumvented self.
Once the members finished and properly escorted the ladies out, they returned to the situation at hand. Kyouya was the first to approach the problem.

"Tamaki, I understand that something is bothering you but a problem that doesn't concern the rest of us shouldn't be in the room when we are serving the customers. Even though your customers were satisfied with your service today, your manner was completely reprehensible. Keep your personal problems to yourself!"

Haruhi felt she was responsible for what was occurring. She spoke out hastily.

"Please Senpai, don't be so strict with him. Obviously, I did something wrong and I feel accountable for everything. You must not blame him!"

"Haruhi." Kyouya used the same tone with her as he did with Tamaki. "The Host Club is a place where we men serve women. If one is displeased with our service, we suffer for it. I expected you to know that already. Whether his manner today was caused by you or not is none of my concern. We all have the same duty and when one of us has made a blemish, I expect it to be pointed out and criticized. We must work efficiently." Kyouya directed his attention to Tamaki. "Sort things out today! Your current manner is not accepted here."

And with that, Kyouya made his way out. The other members realized that they needed to leave the two alone so they left as well. Haruhi and Tamaki were at opposite ends of the room and didn't look at each other. Haruhi looked at him and smiled.

"You know Senpai, we don't usually have moments like these. I say we make the most of it. Let's…"

"No." Tamaki interrupted her. She stood shocked.

"Why are you being so difficult?" Tamaki looked up at her. "What have I done wrong? Tell me!"

"To put it simply," Tamaki said seriously, "I don't like your personality. I wish for you to return back to your old self."

Haruhi ran up to and slapped him leaving him shocked. He turned and looked into her big tearing eyes.

"You think I did this purposely? You IDIOT!!! Of all people, I thought you would be attentive. I thought you would tend to my situation earnestly like you always take care of me… like I'm your daughter!!! Instead, you abandon me. You ignore me. Is this how you act when things go wrong? You avoid them and don't show feeling? As I remember well, you've helped everyone who has come to you with a problem like Nekozawa or Shiro!!! WHY AM I ANY DIFFERENT?!?!? Why when I need you the most do you leave me to face my burden alone?"

Tamaki now felt even worse than before. He started to tremble and grinding his teeth. He made a fist and hit a near by table which made Haruhi step back. He looked at her and her expression wasn't of yearning, but of fear. His features softened as he walked up to her. She continued to take steps backwards but they were small compared to his. She started to cry once she felt that a wall was preventing her from getting away from him. Tamaki took her by the shoulders and began to pull her closer to him. Slowly, she was taken closer and closer. Haruhi started to panic as she looked at his face. Tamaki's blue eyes were grand with sadness and he was blushing. This was it! Haruhi had no doubt he was going to kiss her. A part of her wanted to run but the other wanted to receive his kiss. Her head started to pound as if she was hit with glass again. Just as their lips were about to meet, Tamaki fell to his knees and let go of Haruhi. His hair hid his eyes and he didn't look up. Haruhi was taken aback by his reaction, and with a pounding head, grabbed her things and ran to out the room. Tamaki got up and felt the wall in which Haruhi's body was pressed against. He made a fist and started to punch it. As he was doing such, tears started to fall from his eyes.

"Why? Why? Why did I act so idiotically? She needs me! SHE NEEDS ME!!! I'm such a fool!!! I did abandon her. I left her because I liked her old self more. I didn't even try to help her become herself again." Tamaki stopped hitting the wall. "I abandoned her… I abandoned her… I abandoned her…" Every time Tamaki said those three words, he smashed his head against the wall.

Haruhi made her way outside and took refuge behind a tree. As she pressed up against it, she slid down and curled up. She buried her face into her knees and thought, "That was intense. He was about… about to kiss… me. I feel as though I have been waiting for that moment yet I don't know why. I don't believe I have feelings for him other than friendship. I wonder if my old personality did. Could this be subconscious? Ugh…my head!!!" Haruhi's headache didn't stop. Her head was pounding harder then before. She picked up her head up and found her vision to be a bit blurry. She stood up with her eyes half open. She turned her head and noticed two students walking by. With one hand on her head she ran unstably toward them. They looked at her and ran to her. They got to her in time for she passed out once they were close enough.

"HARUHI!!! HARUHI!!! WAKE UP!!!" Hikaru yelled as loud as he could.

"Oh no. Hikaru… look at your sleeves!!!"

As Haruhi lay in his arms, a blood spot was growing by the second.

"OH CRAP!!!! KAORU GET SOMEONE!!!!!"

Kaoru ran back into the school yelling for help on top of his lungs. This caught Kyouya's attention who was luckily close by. Kaoru explained the situation quickly. Kyouya took out his cell phone immediately and called for an ambulance as he was running after Kaoru who was leading the way. They got to Hikaru who was still holding Haruhi in his arms. Kyouya took off his uniform jacket and put it around Haruhi's head.

"They're coming!!! Don't worry!"

Suddenly and ambulance came and the medics rushed out. They took Haruhi a hurriedly made their way to the hospital. Kyouya, Hikaru and Kaoru rode in the ambulance. She was taken to the emergency room. Kyouya entered with the doctors while he told the two boys to wait. After an hour, Kyouya reemerged. The twins jumped out of their seats.

"She's going to be alright. As I thought, it seems the bleeding was caused by stress. She already had a wound from when she was hit with the glass and the stress reopened it."

"Why was she so stressed?" Kaoru asked.

"Can you think of no reason?" Kyouya asked right back.

"Tamaki…" The twins said in unison.

"He must have done or said something that induced a stressful reaction."

Hikaru looked at his blood-dried arms. He had never been so scared in his life.

"We must not tell Tamaki. She needs to rest. In her current condition, I won't allow her to attend the Spring Ball. We'll have to cancel!" And with that, Kyouya and the twins left the hospital.

--

Tamaki had left school already and had arrived at his house shortly after. He was greeted by his maids like he always was. He didn't acknowledge them this time. They were puzzled.

"Perhaps something has happened?" One maid asked.

"I'm sure everything will be fine." Another one answered.

Tamaki had entered his room and he lay on his bed. Shima (The head housekeeper of Mansion #2 where Tamaki lives) was organizing his closet when she noticed him.

"Welcome home, young master. I see you aren't well today as well?"

"Please Shima, just leave. I need to be alone."

"You were all alone yesterday. I gave you your privacy then but now I want to know what's wrong so you better start talking!" Shima was one person who Tamaki couldn't argue with.

He explained the situation but refrained from telling her what happened after Haruhi yelled at him. That was something personal and a bit embarrassing for him.

"Ah, Miss Fujioka? You seem to think about her a lot!"

"That's not the problem here."

"Well, then I will say that you were wrong in your actions. Miss Fujioka does need you right now. I've known you, young master, for a little while and your heart is in the right place. I suggest you apologize to her and do whatever you can to get her back to her old self again. It's the least you can do." Shima was making her way to the door.

Tamaki smiled and said, "Thank you for clearing things out, Shima!"

"Of course I had to! Your heart may be in the right place but your brain is useless to figure out something that is so trivial."

"SHIMA!!!" Tamaki yelled in his whiny self.

As Shima left the room she quickly said, "That was the first time I saw you smile in this past two days."

Tamaki's mouth was open but he closed it and smiled. Shima, even though rough with him, cared for Tamaki as if he were her own son. Tamaki was now determined to make things right. He called his driver and stepped into the car to go see Haruhi.
Tamaki arrived at her house a little while later. As he went up the stairs, Ranka was leaving the house in a hurry but then stopped in front of Tamaki.

"O-oh! Father, hello! Is everything alright?"

"I have to be going! If you've come to see Haruhi, she isn't here!"

"Where might I find her?"

"She's in the hospital!!! Kyouya-kun called me up. Her head wound had opened up again. I'm going to her now!!!"

"Ho-hos-hospital? PLEASE, FATHER, LET ME TAKE YOU THERE!!!"

"I would appreciate that!"

Tamaki and Ranka made their way to the hospital. Tamaki was now worried and furious. How could Kyouya not inform him of Haruhi's condition? They ran into the hospital and found Kyouya's guards standing in front of Haruhi's room. Kyouya had told them to stay there for a reason. They allowed Ranka in but Tamaki was a different story.

"I'm sorry, Master Tamaki," Tachibana said emotionlessly, "but Master Kyouya has ordered me keep you from entering this room!"

"WHAT?!?! I MUST SEE HER!" Tamaki demanded.

"I'm sorry, Master Tamaki, but you're not allowed in here." Tachibana would not move.

Tamaki went straight to his car and ordered that he'd be taken to Kyouya. At Kyouya's house, Tamaki knocked vigorously on the front door and demanded to see Kyouya. A maid led him to Kyouya who was reading in his room.

"What is it, Tamaki?"

"YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHY I'M HERE!!!"

Kyouya looked at him viciously. "I'd appreciate it if you would lower your voice as well as change its tone."

Tamaki ran up to him and picked him up by the collar of his shirt. Kyouya had no emotional response and just waited for Tamaki to talk. He already knew that what was going on was because of Haruhi being hospitalized but he wished to see where this was going.

"I'm waiting, Tamaki!" Kyouya said in an irritated fashion.

Tamaki just stood there breathing heavily.
