Chapter 9: The Letter

Kyouya collapsed into Haruhi's arms. His face was as pale as a ghost, arms hanging limp by his sides. He was muttering something about pills. White foam started to pool on his lips.

Pills? Alcohol? He must have taken sleeping pills with alcohol. Taking that was like getting a one way ticket to hell.

"Kyouya! Don't leave me now!" Haruhi shook him violently.

The only thing Haruhi managed to do was to call the ambulance. She was too shocked to do anything else. She hugged Kyouya's cold figure closer to her.

"Cold… I feel so co…ld…" Kyouya managed to say through his chattering teeth.

Haruhi cradled him in her arms, "Hush now, you'll be okay,"

Kyouya smiled weakly, "I wonder how it is like to die in the arms of someone you love…"

And with that, Kyouya fainted.

"Kyouya! Stay strong for me please… Where's the damn ambulance?!" Haruhi yelled like a madman.

Nobody was there to help her. Nobody was there to share her pain and frustration. Nobody was there to comfort her.

Who would? Everybody would be glad to see the fall of the most fearful and powerful man in Japan. Ootori Kyouya was never a crowd favourite. His death will bring peace to everyone. Or will it not?

The smell of a hospital's sterile environment filled Kyouya's nostrils. Sun rays were piercing his eyes as he slowly opens them. There were six figures standing around his bed.

------------------------------------------------------

"He's awake!"

He couldn't clearly see who it was as he is not wearing his glasses. The constant ringing in his ears was bothering him.

"Wh… where am I?"

"Kyou-chan! You're in the hospital! Look, I brought you cake!" the short senior said excitedly.

Kyouya smiled at the back of his head, "That is very kind of you Hunny-senpai,"

"You've got us worried sick about you," a familiar voice said from beside him.

"Haruhi?"

Smack…

A slap went across Kyouya's face. He looked at Haruhi with disbelieve. Everyone there was shocked by Haruhi's actions as well.

"I hope that wakes you up senpai,"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think you can gain by taking your own life, huh?" Haruhi asked angrily.

Kyouya dropped his head. Tears were starting to form in Kyouya's eyes. You are wrong Haruhi. I did gain a lot from that. I had you worrying, didn't I?

Kyouya slowly lift his gaze to Haruhi, "I… I couldn't stand loosing you Haruhi… Are you satisfied now?"

"Sen…"

Haruhi saw the tears. She wanted so badly to kiss it away and tell him that everything would be alright. That one day, he would find someone better than her. But…

"Now, please leave. Everyone of you…"

"Very well Kyouya. Come, let's let Kyouya have his rest," Tamaki said while pushing everyone out.

Haruhi gave Kyouya one last look before leaving the room. Their hearts pained to see each other like that, but what can they do? What can they do when the both of them are so stubborn to reconcile?

----------------------------------------------------

"You know what, Haruhi? You should stay by Kyouya-senpai's side for a couple of days," Kaoru said on their way out of the hospital.

"What?" Haruhi looked at Kaoru curiously.

"He needs you now more than I do, silly," Ruffling Haruhi's hair affectionately.

"Alright… just this once…"

The next morning, Haruhi found a letter addressed to her at her doorstep. It has the letter, K on it…

------------------------------------------------------

A/N: It might be from Kyouya and it might also be from Kaoru. Haha… No matter who the letter is from, I will try my best to satisfy both Kyouya and Kaoru fans, meaning, I will write up another alternate Chapter again.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!
