A:N: Thank you everyone for your wonderful reviews! I'm glad that I still have as many readers dedicated to this story as I did when I started it several months ago. Still, you're not reading this to hear me chat...it's to find out whom will end up with Yuki! Now, remember to post your votes for either Hikaru or Kyouya after your finished reading this chapter! Also, I don't own Ouran Highschool Host club.


The shadow king wiped his glasses and gently placed them back over his eyes. "Shall we eat?" He asked his charge as his glasses shined out

his inner thoughts; the kind he wouldn't tell anyone out loud. "Hai, let's eat!" Yuki said both happily and absent-mindedly. Before Kyouya could

even pull out a chair for the overly hyper girl, she was sitting in it and eating rice balls like it was a race. "Slow down Yuki-san! Shouldn't you

save room for dessert?" He tried to bribe. "I thought the rice balls were dessert." Yuki admitted innocently. Kyouya inwardly agreed with

Hikaru; she was cute when she blushed. "Alright then," Kyouya smiled and sighed in defeat. "Just remember that the waiter has prepared you

a chocolate comet when you're done."Kyouya said to attempt a conversation. "What's a chocolate comet?" She asked curiously. "Erm, you

know, I've never had one either." Admitted Kyouya. "You see, it's not exactly healthy and I'm not a sweets eating kind of person." He

explained. "Then Kyouya-kun should order him one!" Yuki said matter of factly. "Very well then," he said strategeticly; he had planned for her to

respond this way.

At the wave of his hand, a nearby cook quickly walked towards the two and deeply bowed to the Ootori. "Please tell the chef to make an extra

chocolate comet. I'd like to try it for the first time as well." He ordered the cook. "Hai," the cook said before exiting the room. "You know, I like

that robe on you." He complimented Yuki; he was still trying to hide his blush from being called Kyouya-kun. Indeed, Yuki was wearing a fluffy

black monogram with Kyouya's initials embroidered near the chest area. This was another thing Kyoua had a hard time avoiding his gaze from.

"At any rate, is something troubling you?" He asked now that they were alone. "Like what?" Yuki said after finishing off her last rice ball.

Without a word, Kyouya stood from his seat and leaned his hands onto the table. "Tell me whats wrong!" He commanded. In that moment,

Yuki's face became defiant. "What are you talking about? I'm fine!" She angrily tried to assure him. "Bull, there's something wrong and you're

going to tell me!" He commanded yet again. "I got a call from your father before we got on the boat. He's threatened to make my family go

bankrupt." Admitted Yuki. "Unless you say yes." Sighed Kyouya. "I might be slow at a few things but I'm not dumb or scared enough to say yes

to a question no one has even asked yet." Yuki admitted angrily. "What merit could your father possibly get from me saying yes to any question

his son had to ask? Not only that, but a few minutes later, Hikaru's mother also called me. She had no threats but wanted to know if I had said

yes to Hikaru yet. Tell me, what question could possibly cause this much of a problem?" Yuki zealously asked/admitted to Kyouya; though she

had her suspicions.

Kyouya quickly said the first thing that came to his mind. "We wanted you to move to Japan. Things with your family have already been

discussed. If you wish to stay, you will be enrolled into Ouran High School Host club this monday!" Kyouya said in a very uncharacteristic, only

lie he could think of, tone. "No," answered Yuki. "W-why?" Kyouya asked. He was obviously hurt by her sudden answer. "I won't agree to live

with anyone whom threatens my family." She said defiantly. "You don't have a choice! My father has already sent them enough money to move

to poland and start a resturaunt like they wanted! You'll just return to an empty house!" Yelled Kyouya. "My-my...family....left...without

me?"Yuki asked herself; it was her turn to feel hurt.

Just then, Hikaru walked in from checking out the captain's deck/ease-dropping and explained the boat had been readied for them to exit.

Before he could even shut the door, Yuki was in his arms crying. "I want to go home!" She weeped into his chest. "Kyouya, you jerk!" Hikaru

shouted at Kyouya. "It was my family's idea, not mine." He muttered under his breath before darkly staring at the duo. "We're going home," he

said; gently placing his hand on Yuki's shoulder. "What home is there to go to?!" She said before letting go of Hikaru and running out of the

room. "Yuki, wait!" Hikaru called to his friend. "Let her go Hikaru. She's got to come to terms with this on her own." He whispered to his friend.

Hikaru turned to face Kyouya and pierced Kyouya's gaze with one of his very own. "If we don't go after her now then we'll never get her back.

Screw her hand, I'm happy she was ever even my friend! What's wrong with you Kyouya? Can't you see she isn't for sale? I'm going to find her

and no matter what threats your family make...I won't give her up to you if she doesn't want to go!" Hikaru shouted to his friend. "You love

her," Kyouya laughed honestly and happily. "I do to," he admitted in a more sad manner than his laugh. "What my family did is something I'm

not affiliated with and am willing to go against as well." He explained. "Let's just get Yuki back," Hikaru sighed after he calmed down. "Right,"

the shadow king agreed; glasses pushed up and all.


Eeep! The plot has finally started to unfold! What will Yuki do now that Japan is her new home? Will she fall for the ever understanding Hikaru or will she look past Kyouya's family and go for the raven-haired shadow king? Only your votes supply the answer! Thus far, Hikaru and Kyouya are in an epic closer with Kyouya ahead by one! Hurry and get your votes in for the last tali and the final chapter of Progamer 12!
