Chapter 7
Since the host club was closed for a while, the girls began to crowd them as much as possible. In the halls, during classes, even at lunch Haruhi and the others had no chance of getting near each other. The girls would pull them to their tables and Haruhi sure didn't get to eat much. After ten minutes of this system with the girls, Haruhi managed to escape and go eat in her classroom.
Ranka refused her pleas to let her walk to school and ended up being late for work dropping her off. Not only did people stare like mad at the man with makeup and a girls top on, but people started staring at her when she got out of the car. It made her super paranoid, so Haruhi avoided going through the more crowded halls in school. She had a brief moment with Tamaki before he was taken by the girls. He was just as flamboyant as ever with his words. "Haruhi don't worry if people know your father is a cross-dresser! No one will think badly about your father!" This made her feel worse and earned her enough stares to last her a lifetime of embarrassment.
During a class break, she was flanked by girls again. They acted like they were inside the host club, and even though Haruhi didn't even try, the girls started swooning over every little thing Haruhi said. The thought she had almost a million times already crossed her mind. I wonder if they act this way because they pity me, or is it because they are just plain stupid. She felt a headache coming on and invited them to sit with her. They all squealed and pulled chairs around her desk.
"So Haruhi, what's going on? When will the Club open again?"
"Not sure," Haruhi said blandly.
"Haruhi-kun, does this mean that we will no longer get to be with you?"
Haruhi knew what was coming. She was forced to say this line many times, and it always had the same outcome – major headaches. She internally sighed and said with a smile, "Well we are together now… and it doesn't matter if the club opens again I still get to see you every day." Dramatic Pause… then a torrent of screams. Some were tearing up, some were squealing with delight, some had fainted and some were blushing like mad. Haruhi had a migraine. She excused herself to go to the bathroom, but when she stood up, a wave of dizziness hit her. Her vision swam, and she had to grip the desk to stay standing.
"Haruhi-kun, are you alright?" someone asked. Haruhi tried to tell the girls that she was fine, but she lost her balance and fell.
"Where am I?" Haruhi slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a different room. It was a warehouse. The walls were made of metal, and boxes filled the warehouse to the ceiling. There was one wooden door in front of her. She tried to stretch her arms, but found them bound behind her back tightly. She was tied to a chair, and her ankles were bound to the front legs of it. She panicked, struggling to loosen the ropes. The ropes bit into her skin and cut her wrists and ankles.
"Don't bother struggling." Haruhi looked over to where the voice came from and saw the shadowed killer. "I know how to tie knots tightly, so you're not getting off that chair for a while." The man chuckled maniacally when Haruhi gave one last, desperate tug on the bindings. Panting from the effort, she looked to where the man's eyes should be.
"Who are you?" she asked. The man's grin widened evilly and then raised a gun to her. Haruhi's eyes widened as the man pulled the trigger. Pain momentarily shot through her skull, and then the vision went black.
Haruhi shot her eyes open from the dream, sat up and screamed. Hands grabbed her arms and shoulder, and she began to panic. She pulled the hands off her and tried to get out of the bed, but the hands pushed her down.
"Haruhi calm down, it's us," two similar voices yelled.
"Haru-chan it's ok. It was just a nightmare," a familiar child-like voice said.
Haruhi stopped struggling and looked around, seeing herself surrounded by Mori, Hunny, and the twins. She relaxed and sat back on the bed. "Where am I? What happened?"
"You fainted during class break," Kaoru said worriedly. "We took you to the nurse," Hikaru said in the same tone.
"We are the ones that should be asking you what happened." Kyoya and Tamaki came through the others. Tamaki looked flustered and almost ready to faint himself. Kyoya was a mask of non-emotion, though his voice betrayed his attempt of hiding his worry. She looked down and the blankets, tears flooding her eyes. She tried to stop them from coming, but a few went down her cheeks, which she quickly wiped away. "Haruhi, who is it?"
She looked up and saw Kyoya staring at her with knowing eyes. Nothing escapes him huh? Everyone turned and stared at Kyoya in confusion. She struggled to find her voice, and her response came out in a choked whisper. "I-It's me, K-Kyoya-sempi." Kyoya's eyes widened and came closer to me.
"Haruhi, it's time to tell everyone else." She nodded and looked down again. She heard Kyoya sigh. "Haruhi has known about the attacks for a long time now. She's been having dreams about how the targeted person was killed. That's how she has been able to stop the killer from succeeding." She looked up at everyone. Hunny was completely shocked; Hikaru and Kaoru were shaking their heads in disbelief. Mori was emotionless as usual and Tamaki was – shockingly – still trying to piece everything together.
When he finally figured it out, he pummeled her in a tight hug and started ranting nonsense words into her shoulder, so she couldn't understand what he was saying. Kyoya scowled at him and told him to shut up and called him an oaf. This drove Tamaki to his emo corner again. Kyoya pushed his glasses up his nose and took out his "mysterious" black notebook. "Haruhi describe what happened in the dream like that last ones."
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then launched into the dream. Halfway when she started to describe how she was tied to the chair, Kyoya stopped writing and the others eyes were wide with shock and worry. When she finished, Tamaki had fainted, the twins were in shock, and Hunny was crying. Warm tears had been going down her cheeks near the end, but she wiped them away and fought the rest of them back. Kyoya was staring at her, worry etched into his features. He suddenly snapped his notebook shut, causing everyone to jump.
"Well, this is probably the strangest dream yet to me... Haruhi, you can't be alone at all anymore. It's obvious that the killer kidnaps you first and then kills you." Everyone flinched at his last comment. She noticed that he was avoiding eye contact with her. "All of us will take turns during the week to escort you to and from school. Hikaru and Kaoru will walk with you everywhere you go seeing as you're in the same classes. I suggest you don't go to town without your father any time soon, either."
Haruhi scowled. "Now wait just a minute, Kyoya-sempi. Don't I have a say in this? It's my problem, and I don't really want bodyguards…" Kyoya shut her up by giving her a seriously scary look.
"Haruhi, you don't understand the circumstances you are in now. All your past dreams have been real, who is to say it won't happen this time?"
"Yea Haru-chan, if we leave you alone the killer will take you away!" Hunny said in a serious tone.
"We volunteer to take her to school," The twins harmonized.
"And I'll take you home Haruhi," Tamaki said, taking her hand and kneeling, causing Haruhi to sweat-drop.
"As if, you perverted king!" The twins yelled, pulling Haruhi away from Tamaki. Tamaki scowled at them.
"Be serious you two! Haruhi's life is in peril. And I'm not a pervert!" Fire appeared in Tamaki's eyes, and the twins disappeared under Haruhi's bed. Haruhi couldn't help but smile. They really care about me too much. Although they always go overboard, it's nice to know they are ready to help.
"Okay, fine," Haruhi said finally. "But no hovering… I still want to be able to have a life." Everyone smiled at her and nodded. After a short check up from the nurse, Haruhi – followed by the twins – went through the rest of the day without another word. The twins ended up taking her home after school, and her father was there once again to meet her. Kyoya had called her father, and he promptly went on vacation until the problem was over.
