Hey! I'm DONE! 1,750 words in a day. Hope it doesn't suck.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ouran. If I did do you really think I would be writing fanfiction about it? I would be too busy making a second season of the show.

My alarm went off at 7:30. When I woke up my throat hurt a bit but I felt much better than yesterday. I looked around. Hikaru was nowhere to be found.

'He probably left early so he could hang out with Haruhi before school.'

I took two of the pills that lay on the dresser then went to the bathroom.

I turned on the shower, striped of my clothes and stepped in. I massaged the sweet smelling shampoo into my hair. I couldn't help but think about what I was going to do at school.

'I can avoid him for short amounts of time during to school day but at the host club that will be impossible. What am I going to do? I don't think I can do the brotherly love act without crying today. I'll try not to think about it while I'm doing it. I hope I can get through it.' I thought.

'I almost forgot, Kyoya's supposed to tutor me after school today. That's good. I don't want to come back here after school today. Hikaru will be here and I don't want to face him just yet.'

I shut the water off and stepped out of the shower. I dried off and went to the bedroom. I dressed in the Ouran academy uniform and walked downstairs.

"Hello Master Kaoru. What would you like to have for breakfast?" A maid asked me.

"Just tea, please." I replied then went to go sit at the table.

'I'll just eat lunch later.' I thought.

The tea came out a minute later. I sipped at it, trying to calm my nerves about hosting with Hikaru later. Once I finished I called a limo.

"Take me to school, please." I told the chauffeur.

"Right away, sir." He said.

I dozed off.

I woke to the voice of the driver.

"Master Kaoru, we have arrived."

"Thank you." I said.

I opened the door and got out before he had to chance to do it for me. I walked towards my first class.

I sat in my usual seat next to where Hikaru sat and put my head down.

"Hey Kaoru." I heard.

I looked up. Hikaru was standing in front of my desk.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, thank you." I smiled.

"Ok. I'm going to Haruhi's house after school again. Is that alright?"

My heart broke a little and I tried not to show it.

"That's fine. I'm going to Kyoya's house so he can tutor me anyway."

"Kyoya's? Are you-?"

"Everyone, please sit down so class can begin." The teacher said.

The day went by.

I didn't really pay attention in any of my classes, I was lost in thought.

I avoided talking to Hikaru.

It wasn't that hard. Haruhi was in our classes so he didn't pay much attention to me.

The final bell rang, signaling classes were over. It was time to go to the host club.

"Kaoru, let's go." Hikaru said.

I stood up and we walked to the club.

We sat down on the couch we usually hosted on.

Soon enough fan girls began streaming in. Our customers swarmed around me.

"Kaoru! Are you feeling better?"

"Are you still sick?"

"Oh I was so worried!"

"Are you, ok?"

"Hikaru must have been so scared!" They all said at the same time.

I had such a headache.

"I'm fine. Hikaru took care of me." I lied.

They soon stopped pestering me about how I was.

I tried to act like everything was normal but with every touch from Hikaru I felt like I was going to cry.

The fans didn't notice and if Hikaru did, he never said anything.

About an hour into our hosting, Hikaru got up to go ask Haruhi about something.

'He wouldn't really leave me now, would he?'

He did. I was left with the otakus. The immediately began talking to me.

They're sentences blended together and I never really knew what they were saying. They waited expectantly for answers I couldn't give them.

"Kaoru, could you come here for a second."

'Kyoya.'

"I'm sorry ladies, I'll be right back."

I stood and left them.

"Thank you." I said once I reached him.

"It's no problem," Kyoya said. "You seemed like you needed to get away from them." He continued.

"How are you feeling? Do you still feel sick?" he asked me.

"I'll be fine. I'm just tired." I replied.

"Alright. Do you still want me to tutor you after school?"

"Yes, if it's not too much trouble."

"It's fine. You should go back to your guests, they're still waiting. Hikaru is there to handle all of their questions now." He said.

"Ok, thank you." I walked back to the guests.

Hikaru was telling some story about us.

"I told you not to tell that story, Hikaru! Why did you tell them?" I whined.

I really didn't know what he was talking about. He held me in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Kaoru but you were just so cute. Do you think you could ever forgive me?"

I nodded.

'This means nothing to him.' I thought.

The girls screamed. Some of them passed out with nosebleeds. I tried to hold back my urge to roll my eyes.

Club activities went by in a blur. Soon enough, everyone had left except for Haruhi, Hikaru and I.

"Kaoru, I'm taking Haruhi to her house in the limo. OK?" Hikaru said.

"Yeah that's fine. I'll call another one." I said.

"Make sure to lock up before you go." He shut the door.

I walked to one of the couches and curled up on it. I closed my eyes. My head hurt. I would call a cab to take me to Kyoya's house in a few minutes.

"Kaoru? Are you feeling alright?"

I opened one eye. Kyoya was standing in front of me with a worried look on his face.

"Yeah, 'm fine." I said, sitting up.

"Are you sure you want me to tutor you today?" He asked me.

"Mmhmm."

"Come on, we can go in my limo."

"Ok." I said.

I stood and followed him out of Music Room Three.

We must have stayed at the club pretty late. It was dark out.

A limo was waiting outside of the school. I slid in next to Kyoya.

I must have looked tired because he said, "You can sleep if you want too. My mansion is not as close to here as yours is."

"Thank you." I murmured.

I leaned back into the seat and fell asleep almost immediately. I didn't dream.

"Kaoru? Kaoru, wake up." Kyoya was calling me.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" I said without opening my eyes. "We're here." I opened my eyes.

I was confused at first. Everything was dark and... sideways? My head was on Kyoya's shoulder.

Everything came flooding back to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry I slept on you."

"It's ok."

The chauffeur opened the door for us.

"Come on." Kyoya said while helping me out of the car.

I looked up at his house. It was huge and it took a lot for me to say that someone's house was big. We walked up to the front door. Kyoya took out a set of keys and opened it. The inside was as nice as the outside.

"Come on, let's go to my room." He smiled at me.

I followed him up the stairs and to a door. Inside was Kyoya's room (or wing).

He sat on his bed and I sat at the couch near his bed.

"Where is Hikaru anyway? I didn't see him before we left." he asked me.

"He took Haruhi home in the limo. I think he told me he was staying there until later."

I replied digging in my bag for something.

"Kaoru?"

I looked up.

"Does he always do that? Leave you alone and go with Haruhi?"

I looked back down.

"Not all the time." I lied.

"Please don't lie."

"Yes. He's been doing that for a while now." I said quietly.

He sighed.

"Wait here, I have to get something."

"Ok." I said, barely over a whisper.

'How long has Hikaru been doing this anyway? He started about a month before they started dating. Has it really been three months already? I wish I never pushed him to go out with her. He doesn't stand a chance against Tamaki. This is all my fault. Once Tamaki finally stops being an idiot and realizes he likes Haruhi, Hikaru is going to be hurt when she breaks up with him and it's going to be all my fault. I shouldn't have ever said anything. I'm so stupid.'

I was shaking and tears were streaming down my face.

'It's my fault. It's all my fault.'

Kyoya walked back in with his laptop in his hands.

"Kaoru? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

He placed his laptop on the table and sat next to me on the couch.

I stood, still shaking and crying.

"I-I'm sorry, K-Kyoya. I n-need to go."

I began to walk away. Kyoya pulled me back. I tripped and landed on his lap.

He held me close to him.

"Kaoru, please tell me. It won't do any good to keep it all inside."

I sobbed into his chest while he rubbed circles into my back.

I cried for at least an hour. Eventually my breathing evened out.

"Are you feeling better?" Kyoya asked.

I nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry for ruining your shirt." I sniffed.

"That hardly matters. Why were you crying like that?" He asked me.

"Everything is my fault. I was the one who pushed Hikaru into chasing Haruhi. He won't stand a chance when Tamaki realizes he likes her too. When he does, Hikaru is going to get hurt and it will be my fault. Everything is my fault. I deserve to feel this way." I said.

"Kaoru, look at me." Kyoya said.

I looked up at him through tired, red eyes.

"None of this was ever your fault. I don't want you to ever blame yourself for this again. Am I clear?"

"But-"

"No buts Kaoru, it's not your fault." I nodded.

"'Kay."

I was much too tired to argue.

I felt a cool hand press against my forehead.

"I don't think you completely got over your flu." He said.

"Mmhmm."

"You just need rest now. Do you want to stay here or go home?"

"Mmm, here. Now shhh." I mumbled.

The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was his laugh.

Oh gods, I need a beta… Hope you liked it. REVIEW!
