Sorry for the long wait you guys. Just got back from Cebu. (:

"Welcome home, sweetie." Haruhi's father said in a sweet tone. He smoothly stood up from his black executive chair, carrying an air of authority around him.

Dad, what're you trying to pull? Haruhi opened a conversation with her father.

Haruhi's father smirked. This made him look like a God. Nothing daughter. Just wanna see how your friends react.

Haruhi sent him a death glare. Do not waste my efforts Dad.

The host club watched in amazement as they saw the different emotions playing on their faces.

Haruhi's father laughed. "Okay, okay. You win. This is a first. Please please, don't be so tense. Sit down."

The six men let out a long sigh. They looked at Haruhi and saw her smile. "Go on. Sit. Don't worry." They walked towards the sofas and sat down on the different chairs. Tamaki and Kyouya sat on the comfy couch, the twins took two chairs beside the couch, and Mori sat on a chair while Hunny was on his lap.

"Guys, I'll leave you with Dad, okay? See you later." Haruhi fixed her uniform and hair before she went out.

A rather tense air was surrounding the room. None of the guys made a move; it even seems like none of them are breathing. Haruhi's father broke the tense atmosphere.

"Now now guys, didn't I just tell you not to be too tense? I'm harmless, trust me. Haruhi wouldn't leave you here if she knows I'm very dangerous. Right?"

They all nodded. "Good. Now, let me introduce myself. I'm Fujioka Kyo. I'm a businessman." He smiled. "Why don't you introduce yourselves?"

"Ah! We're sorry that we forgot our manners." Tamaki said in a princely tone. "I am Suoh Tamaki, sir." He stood up from his seat and bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Kyo gave him a nod. Kyouya stood next. "It's an honor to be here Fujioka-san. I am Ootori Kyouya."

The twins stood up next. "We're the Hitachiin twins. We're Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin."

Hunny jumped off from Mori's lap and stood on the bear carpet. "I'm Haninozuka Mitsukuni!" The lean man behind him stood up. "He's Morinozuka Takashi."

Kyo couldn't keep up with his façade anymore. He jumped and squealed from his seat. "My daughter is so lucky to have such handsome friends!"

The host club guys were flabbergasted. They didn't expect for Haruhi's father to be … childish! Then, something clicked in the back of their minds: Tamaki.

Yes, Haruhi's father was like Tamaki. No wonder she could tolerate him easily. They all thought.

For an old man like him, he sure still looks like he's in his teen years. They thought. His face was flawless. He was like Haruhi; a life-sized doll, only a male doll. He has chubby cheeks, almost perfect nose, nature-colored eyes, and a smile that could melt thousands of women.

"So, tell me honestly, what're you all doing here?" Kyo has finally settled down and was now sitting professionally in one of the chairs in the middle of his office.

"I wanted to see Haru-chan while she's in a meeting." Hunny said sheepishly.

"Well, why didn't you say so?" Kyo stood up from his seat and walked towards a bookshelf. "Come here, I'll teach you."

Hunny leaped towards Kyo. "I'll help you up." He reached down to Hunny.

"Can I bring Bun Bun with me??" Hunny asked with very innocent eyes.

"Of course Hunny-kun." Kyo smiled.

Hunny jumped and was caught by Kyo. Kyo hoisted Hunny near the bookshelf. Hunny was now facing five books that were placed closely.

"Do you see that Hunny-kun?" Kyo asked.

"Uhh, the books?" Hunny inquired.

"Yes. Pull it."

Hunny nodded and reached towards the books. When he tried to pull one book, all five books moved together with the one he just pulled. He pulled it more before he heard something click behind. Slowly, the bookshelf moved aside revealing a mirror.

"Fujioka-san," Kyo turned around and saw Kyouya looking at him.

Kyo smiled. "Don't be so formal Kyouya-kun. Just call me Kyo-san."

"Ah…Yes, Kyo-san. I was just wondering, what do you do with that two-way mirror?"

"Eh?" He set Hunny back down on the floor. Hunny was screaming 'Waaai!' because he discovered something great. "How did you know this was a two-way mirror?"

"Haruhi told us earlier while we were making our way here. Hunny-senpai asked if he could watch Haruhi while in her meeting, so, she told us that he could look through the two-way mirror from your office."

Kyo's eyes narrowed a bit. "I only use this mirror whenever Haruhi takes over my meeting. I just enjoy watching my daughter; she's very professional." Kyo clicked something beside the mirror and instead of his reflection; they saw three people sitting in a leather chair. Kyo signaled them to come closer. "Why don't you all come here so that you can see what's going on inside?"

They all walked away from their seats and stood in front of the two-way mirror. The conference room had white walls. In the center was an oval-shaped table surrounded with black leather chairs. There were only eight people inside the room; one of them is Haruhi, standing up in front of the seven who were sitting down. Her facial expression was different; she had a very serious face. She's walking along the empty spaces on the room. Her movements were like fluid, very flawless.

"Haru-chan looks like a professional, ne, Takashi?" Hunny asked. His eyes were still on the mirror.

"Ahh." Mori replied.

"She's going to be a good businesswoman, but she wishes to become a doctor." Kyo pouted, putting a finger on his.

Tamaki's eyes sparkled again. "Oh that's wonderful!! I am absolutely aware why she wants to become a doctor. It's because of me!! My daughter really loves me!!" Tamaki was on lala-land. Kyo's eyebrow twitched at this; he just left the blonde idiot to dream.

"She is very concerned about her father getting sick! She will always be by my side and watch over me and scold me for doing something and blah blah blah …" Kyo tuned him out. He stood behind Tamaki who was doing some theatrical moves which he found very asinine. Without warning, he took Tamaki's collar, hoisted him up and threw him straight onto the wall.

Tamaki fell like a paper from the wall. The twins laughed hard at this scene.

Kyo smiled dangerously sweet at Tamaki. "Oh my, I didn't notice that there was some disgusting rat in here."

While Tamaki was on the deepest recess of the room and the twins laughing at him, the door to Kyo's office suddenly opened. It revealed Haruhi's mother, Fujioka Kagura.

Kyo suddenly brightened and went to hug his wife. "Ah, my wife, so nice for you to join us here."

Kagura giggled. "Now now dear, we don't want to create a scene here."

"You must be Haruhi's mother, …" Tamaki was now in front of the couple, bowing. "It is a pleasure to meet someone as beautiful as you are, Fujioka-san. I am Suoh Tamaki, one of Haruhi's friends."

"Oh my, a gentle –" Her compliment was cut short by Kyo punching him all-out on his face.

Kyo was now stepping on Tamaki's head. "Honey, I'm very sorry about that. Are you feeling okay? This rat is bringing disease in this room. You better stay away."

Kagura rolled her eyes at her husband. She walked towards the helpless Tamaki. She grabbed Kyo's shirt and literally threw him aside. She helped Tamaki stand up. Tamaki looked at her with puppy eyes and lips quivering. "Thank you so much Kagura-san …"

Kagura smiled. "I'm very sorry about my husband." She leaned closer to whispter to Tamaki's ear. "If ever he does something like that again, shout my name in your mind, I'll be there in an instant, that's a promise." She backed away and smiled again.

"Re-really???" Tamaki asked with hesitation. She nodded. "Really."

Both of them stood up. "Now, continue introducing yourselves. Please forgive my husband, …" She looked at the deepest corner of the room; he was rocking back and forth and drawing circles on the floor. "… for interrupting awhile ago."

They were stunned. What strength.

She looked around and saw a guy with spectacles on his face. "I want that glasses guy to introduce first."

Kyouya stepped forward and bowed. "I am Ootori Kyouya. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Us! Us!" The twins shouted with smiles on their faces.

Kagura nodded. "Okay then."

"We're the Hitachiin twins. We're Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin." They spoke in unison.

The little senior stepped forward and waved his Bun Bun. "I'm Haninozuka Mitsukuni!" A tall lean man was behind the small-statured man; he bowed. "Morinozuka Takashi."

"My my, my daughter has made some wonderful friends." Kagura said. "I'm very happy about this." A gentle smile came onto her face and she looked like she was gonna cry.

Kyo suddenly recovered and sprinted his way towards his beautiful wife. His expression has changed into a worried one and his voice was full of concern. "What's wrong love?" He asked.

I just feel so happy about our daughter. A gentle smile made its way onto Kyo's face.

Me too love.

"Kyo-san, is Kagura-san alright?" Kyouya asked.

They heard the entrance door open again and they saw Haruhi. "What's going on in here?" She looked around and saw her mom with tears in her eyes; her eyes narrowed. She transported herself nearer to her mom. "What's wrong mom??"

Kagura hugged her daughter tightly. "I'm so happy for you sweetie."

Kyo gestured the six young men to sit down with him. They all followed. Tamaki and Kyo were sitting beside each other. Kyouya sat on the arm rest of Hikaru's seat, while the twins took the same spot, and also Mori and Hunny. "I'm very sorry about my wife's sudden outburst. It's just that … you know … she's happy. And me too."

"About what??" The twins asked.

"You six young men are actually her first human friends." Kyo said. "She used to have one but when she found out that she was a vampire; she totally freaked out. There was nothing else that we could do, so we decided to erase her memories. The worst part was that Haruhi's the one who erased her memories, since she's the only one who's capable of doing it." Kyo sighed and continued. "She may act totally indifferent around you but she really cares about you, just like her mother." They all looked at the two ladies standing behind them; they looked like supermodels.

"What happened to Haru-chan???" Hunny asked.

"She cried all night. All she did was study just so that it wouldn't pass her mind."

"Must've been hard for her." Kaoru spoke.

Hikaru looked behind him and saw Haruhi blushing while her mother was grinning evilly. "I wonder what they're talking about …"

They all turned to witness the same scene.

"Fujioka-san," Kyouya called out again.

Kyo turned around to face Kyouya. "Yes, Kyouya-kun?"

"I hope you don't mind me asking but, what do you … people of your kind … eat?" He asked with reluctance. Even though this family may seem harmless, hitting them in a wrong spot could be very deadly.

Kyo smiled. "We only eat if necessary, like, attending parties with some of our business associates. I admit, we prefer blood, …" They stiffened a little when they heard this. "… but since it goes against the rules of our government, …" He was stopped by Hikaru's palm facing him.

"Wait wait wait. Government?" His voice was a little high-pitched.

Kyo nodded. "Just like you guys, you have a government controlling the rules and other things for the better of your country."

"Does your government do that also??" Tamaki asked.

Kyo nodded again. "It's just that we have different rules, and trust me when I say that our government is much scarier than yours."

"They don't serve cake???" Hunny's eyes were wide with innocence in them.

Before Kyo could answer, Haruhi piped in with her mother trailing behind her. "What're you talking about?"

Sparkles suddenly appeared behind Kyo and clasped his hands. "Oh nothing!! Your dear friends were just asking some things about our race."

"Let me guess, …" Kagura spoke. "Eating habits?"

Haruhi chuckled. "Not a surprise. You guys wanna know??"

They all nodded. "A tablet."

They all had confused looks on their faces. Haruhi could guess their questions on their minds. "A substitute for blood." Haruhi walked away and went behind her father's desk. She groped under the table for a moment. When she felt what she was looking for, she pressed her finger against it. One part of the left side of the wall, something opened. It revealed four glasses and one pitcher filled with water. She walked towards it, took one glass and poured water in it. She sat on Kaoru's armrest.

"What are you going to do with that Haru-chan?" Hunny asked, staring into the glass of water.

"Just watch Hunny-senpai." She put her hands into her uniform pocket and brought out something square-shaped. She opened it and it revealed white tablets. She took one out, closed the small box and placed it back in her pocket. "Watch what happens okay?" She threw the tablet inside the glass. The water suddenly became red and the tablet was now gone.

"Wow… Magic…" The twins said.

"What is that Haruhi???" Tamaki asked with curiosity.

That was … strange. Kyouya thought.

"Is that sweet Haru-chan?"

Mori just stayed silent while watching the whole scene.

"Like I said; a substitute for blood. Not as tasty as the real one but we can live with this." Haruhi said while slowly drinking the now red water.

"Who made that?" Kyouya asked.

Haruhi looked at him with a bored expression. "Doctors, of course." She replied with a tone that seemed like the answer was so obvious.

"Your doctors?"

"Uh-huh. Our doctors."

Kyouya was about to ask Haruhi about the name of tablet when his cellular phone rang. He sighed in disappointment. He stood up and bowed at the group in front of him. "Please excuse me."

They all watch Kyouya walk away. "I can sense dark clouds looming over his heart."

They all turned again to look at Kagura who eyes were closed.

"Why do you say so Kagura-san??" Tamaki asked.

"I can … sense it."

"Ah. Vampire powers." The twins said.

Kagura's eyes opened up and smiled at the twins. "You can call it like that."

Kyouya went back to the group. "I'm sorry but I have to leave. Father needs me."

All of them stood up and started to tell the family that they also need to leave since it's getting late.

"Mother, go back to your room and relax. I'll do this." Haruhi said while placing a hand on her mother's shoulder.

Kagura shook her head. "Daughter, you know that doing that illusion twice in a day isn't going to do you good. It's rather critical in your condition."

Haruhi sighed. "Don't even start Mom. Listen to me and go back to your room."

"Honey, just listen to Haruhi. I'll stay with her; I promise." He placed a reassuring hand on Kagura's back. Kagura finally gave in and nodded.

"Will Haru-chan be okay??" His lips were trembling slightly and his eyes were sparkling, indicating that he will cry if he receives bad news.

Haruhi turned around and smiled at Hunny. "I'll be fine Hunny-senpai, trust me on this." She patted his head.

The twins hugged Haruhi. "Be okay Haruhi." Kaoru spoke from her left. She smiled. "I will." They hugged her a little bit tighter this time. "KAWAII HARUHIII!!"

Tamaki sprinted towards the trio and punched the twins with his fists. "Do not pester my daughter you dirty twins!!" He took Haruhi into one of his infamous hugs. "Only father is allowed!!" He was immediately met with a heavy punch that landed directly on his nose.

"Don't you dare claim Haruhi as your daughter!" Kyo shouted.

Kagura-san!! Tamaki shouted in his thoughts. And in an instant, Kyo was nowhere in sight. When they were searching for him, they saw a broken window. Question answered.

Haruhi sighed and felt a hand on her head. She knew who this was; it was Mori. "Be safe." He said in his deep voice. Haruhi tilted her head back and smiled. "You too, Senpai." Mori smiled and retreated his hand back to his side.

"We'll be seeing you in good health tomorrow Haruhi." Kyouya said in his cool tone. I'll let the Gods take care of you this time. When time allows, I'll be the one to take care of you.

Unknown to Kyouya, Kagura was reading his thoughts. She smirked. A little while ago, while this group of handsome young men was walking towards her husband's office, she was reading each of their thoughts. She knew that this was very inappropriate but she has to so that she could spare her little daughter's feelings.

While they were all walking towards the door, something startled Kyouya, making him stop in his tracks.

You have my blessing Kyouya-san.

He recognized that voice and turned around to see Kagura smiling at him. "What was …?" He stopped, unable to form words with what he just experienced.

Do you want me to vocalize the words just so you could understand Kyouya-san?

He looked again at Kagura and he saw her giggling. Just move along Kyouya-san. Make sure Haruhi notices nothing. Let's talk through telepathy. He looked at Haruhi who was sitting on the couch with her father. She waved goodbye. "All of you take care." She said in a gentle voice.

They all left the room silently.

"Will Haru-chan be okay??" His hands were shaking.

"She will be. She's strong." Mori replied.

The group stayed silent because they were nervous about what Haruhi is going to do. They saw the effect of it on her a couple of minutes ago. But Kyouya's thoughts were nothing near this reason.

I'm very sorry about this Kyouya-san. Kagura thought. She was now sitting across Haruhi and Kyo. Haruhi was trying to regain some of her strength back by breathing slowly.

Is this for real Kagura-san? Kyouya spoke in his thoughts.

All that we do defy the theories that you guys learned in science, don't we? Kagura giggled in her thoughts.

This is very surprising … and beneficial. But, why are you apologizing to me Kagura-san?

I've been walking in your minds ever since your foot stepped on our lands. This made Kyouya's eyes widen a bit. They were now on their way towards the entrance of the house.

Why?

To keep Haruhi from feeling hurt again. I assume my husband told you the story earlier?

Yes. Kyo-san did. I understand Kagura-san.

I assure you Kyouya-san, this will never happen again. We can control everything that we do.

I … hope so Kagura-san. It's very…unnerving.

I know. It's okay to say anything Kyouya-san; you don't have to be worried.

Kyouya finally noticed that they were outside when he felt a slight breeze brush through him. A limo waited for them. The chauffeur was taking them to their personal homes. Kagura-san, what did you mean by you have your blessing?

And about your question? Yes. Humans and vampires are allowed to marry, Son. I can sense the limo is nearing the wall honey. I'm sorry but we have to cut our conversation. I hope to see you soon Kyouya.

"Look look, the wall is starting to vanish slowly." Hunny was the first one who broke his thoughts. He looked in front and could see the fogs appearing again. Please, watch her Kagura-san.

They finally passed the wall and turned their heads to look back. They could see the wall starting to reappear again but the fog was still around it. Slowly, they couldn't see the wall anymore because of the fog surrounding it.

Kaoru raked his hair with his hand. "I hope she's okay in there."

Hikaru fidgeted with his thumbs. "She said that she will be, didn't she?? And her father's there."

Tamaki laughed nervously. "My daughter will definitely be fine." He said while waving a hand. He, too, was feeling scared.

"She has to …" Kyouya mumbled softly but this was never missed. His right hand was in a fist inside his pocket.

Some of them wanted to ask what that meant but nervousness took over them easily. They wanted to know how Haruhi was doing right now. Their thinking was stopped when they heard the chauffeur ask for their addresses so that they could drive them home. Then one by one, they were dropped off, making Kyouya the last passenger before the chauffeur heads back to the mansion.

When he reached his mansion, he turned his attention to the chauffeur and spoke out his thanks. He walked inside his mansion and was greeted with the maids who passed by him. He only nodded in response. He slowly paced in the direction of his room. When he got in, he immediately plopped down onto his bed without even bothering to take off his school clothes. He was just waiting for his father to call him.

Kyouya thought about his 'telepathy' conversation with Haruhi's mother. She immediately approved of him without even knowing him much yet. This surprised him. Were they able to identify their personalities just by looking at them? It seemed quite impossible to him at first but when his eyes were opened that reading minds were absolutely possible, this made him think twice. Kyouya closed his eyes and immersed himself into deep thoughts. When he opened his eyes, he was smirking. Kyouya's resolve was set.

I find this chapter quite … boring AND hard. Haha! I don't know about the latter. Pssh. Anyhoo, I'll try my best to improve the next chapter! (: I hope you still enjoyed this one though. :D
