"Kyoya - Senpai what are you doing here?" Haruhi was very confused and couldn't help but look back at the arrow and back at Kyoya.
"Like I said Haruhi, I have an Idea who sent that arrow." Kyoya looked at Nekozawa for a short moment. "Nekozawa - Senpai, do you happen to know of a family called the Mamo family?"
"Yes I do. My mother and father had dealings with them a while back and they tried to get me to marry their daughter and I refused. They then tried to convince my mother and father that it would be in their best interests if we became one family but they told them that it was my choice and that if I said no, then that was the answer they would give him. Kyoya, do you believe they are trying to attack Haruhi and I?" Nekozawa looked at Haruhi with hurtful face.
"Yes I do think they are trying to get in between you two. do I think it will work? Hell no. do you want to know why?"
"Sure."
"Because, they could've hurt you or Haruhi with that arrow. If you file assault or harassment charges maybe..."
"NO!"
"What!?"
"I said no Kyoya. This is my business and mine alone. I will protect Haruhi and I am certain that to some degree, she can protect herself." Kyoya smiled at Haruhi when he heard this.
"Can you Haruhi? Can you protect yourself?"
Haruhi thought about it for a moment and she decided that she was able to. "Yes I can, and now that we know who is trying to hurt us we can do something about it. Kyoya - Sempai may I ask you something?"
"Of course Haruhi. What is it?"
"Could you use your computer skills and intelligence to look up the main places where they hang out? Oh also could you look up where they currently live or if they have other homes they might be staying at?"
Kyoya couldn't help the big grin that appeared on his face at the mention of his computer skills and intelligence. "Oh course Haruhi but may I ask why?"
"Sure..."
Kyoya laughed a little, realizing that she was waiting for him to actually ask. "Okay...Why?"
"Because if they try to attack me again out in the open I will attack them out in the open. If they try to attack me at my home or anywhere I might be staying, I will attack them at their home or anywhere they might be staying. I will not let my life be threatened, and I will not be scared so easily."
Kyoya smiled and couldn't help but think of how much she has grown. She has gone from an oblivious girl to a badass woman. Something in him tugged at his heart and he realized immediately what it was. He had to calm down because she was not his to have. "Haruhi, are you sure about this?"
"Yes." She looked at Nekozawa who looked at her and he blushed at seeing her smile so wide.
"Alright then. Shall I tell the other club members?"
"Sure if you want but under no circumstances are Tamaki or the twins allowed to interfere. I think they would only cause me more trouble...especially Tamaki."
"What about Honey - Senpai and Mori - Senpai?"
"They are allowed to do what they want. They can protect themselves and they know how to not make a big scene."
"Very well. I will be off then. Have fun with the rest of your day." He chuckled knowing that they were about to close the park.
Another Sunday rolled around and Haruhi found herself with nothing to do. Her father had the day off and he was already cooking lunch. She was trying to watch some TV when suddenly the power went off. "Oh my, Haruhi can you please go talk to the landlord about why the power is out?" Her dad finished lunch and it looked to be a big meal.
"Do I have to?"
"You just want to eat all the rise balls, the tuna, the meat, and the soup I made don't you?"
"Yeah kinda..." She smiled at her father who then returned the smile.
"Fine go get some candles and set them on the table. Looks like I'm going to have a candle lit dinner with my beautiful daughter!" He jumped here and there and set the rest of the food on the table and then quickly made some jasmine tea that Kyoya had given him.
when everything was finally set at the table and the tea was done. They both sat down, then Haruhi noticed as she was about to bite into her tuna that her dad had a worried and somewhat apologetic look on his face. "Dad what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing Haruhi! You know how daddy gets! It is almost like we never get to have dinner together anymore! Yeah that's it..."
"Dad?"
"Yes dear?"
"You're a terrible liar." She put her chop sticks down and looked at him with her arms crossed.
"I know I am sweetie. Do you really want to know?"
"Duh! I wouldn't have asked otherwise." She smirked a little.
"Alright...have you ever wondered why you have the same amulet as Neko - Chan?"
"Yeah..."
"Well it's because your mother gave it to him a long time ago."
"WHAT!? WHY!?"
"Calm down Haruhi...I'm about to tell you a huge secret about your mother that you've probably forgotten about since you were a child."
"What are you talking about?"
"First...have you ever wondered how Neko - Chan knew all the magic he knew? Or how he can clean up messes by playing a certain tune on the piano?"
"Dad you're scaring me..."
"Your mother taught him magic. Magic that is activated by the amulet. In her side of the family they have only ever given birth to one girl for almost a hundred years. No one knows why, it was just how it was. Your mother could also see the future. What she saw was that you would eventually...um...marry...Neko - Chan...Even without the amulet. She had to follow certain rules though. If she saw who her daughter would marry she had to find the boy when he was born and give him an amulet that would match her daughter's. She planned on teaching you so much but she also saw that she wouldn't be able to...she saw her death." Haruhi was shocked.
"If she saw her death couldn't she have stopped it?" was all she could get out from all the information he had just received.
"No. Because she didn't know when it would happen. All she knew is that she would die before she could teach you so she decided to live as a normal parent. Even though that didn't last long. She loved to play the piano for you...especially after play time when you made such huge messes. She would play the piano and your mess was gone. You loved watching your toys float back to the toy box we had for you."
"...didn't you think...didn't you think it was weird that she could do that?"
"Oh, it scared the hell out of me sweetheart, but I loved her just the same. In fact her magic is how we met...anyways...she wanted to teach you but you were too young...however, there is another person who can teach you and you would be able to help people if you wish to do so, you would be able to clean up after yourself when you cook..." Her dad giggled a little. "...You would be able to protect the people you care about...if you let this person teach you."
"What do you mean?"
"Your mom left someone in charge of teaching you magic, but he doesn't know."
"HE!?"
"Neko - Chan...He can teach you magic, especially because you two have matching amulets."
"WHAT!?"
At that moment Nekozawa burst through the door soaked form the rain that was outside. "Haruhi! There is a huge storm coming! I came to check on you! Wait...why is it dark in here?"
"The power went off Neko - Chan. I told Haruhi everything so could you please fix the lights?"
"YOU TOLD HER EVERYTHING!?"
"Yes that is what I just said...now will you please?"
"Uh...sure..." Nekozawa waved his hands at the lights and they turned on and even the TV turned back on.
"Wait...Nekozawa - Senpai...you knew!?"
"Yeah...I've actually known for a while. Since I was about...four years old I think. My amulet started glowing and I saw you playing and your mother sat at the piano. She started to play and your toys floated in the air. I couldn't hear the music but I tried it myself and some of my toys floated...as soon as I stopped so did the toys. One night, I couldn't sleep and I began to hear voices coming from my amulet. It was your mom. She told me that someday I will meet a girl named Haruhi and that I should protect her. I never guessed that I would actually..." Nekozawa stopped midsentence realizing what he was about to say.
"That you would actually what?" Haruhi got up form her chair and walked towards him.
The closer she got the less control he had. He wanted to just grab her and kiss her but he couldn't. So he settled for the next best thing. "That I would actually fall in love with you."
Ranka smiled and set a third plate down at the table and made a third cup of tea. "Neko - Chan...it looks like it is going to be an interesting night." He looked at Nekozawa and he replied with nod and walked over to the third plate. 'An interesting night indeed. Darling are you watching this? Haruhi just got her first love confession and I was hear to witness it. I wish you were too.'
