Your classes are all done & you're currently w/ the Host Club. Kyouya always tries to get the chance to bring you home. There are even times when you sneak out & call him that you're already on your way to your house. Moments ago Haruhi opened the door & suddenly Hunny's little brother started fighting w/ him. Mori told you all that it's just a way of greeting for families that specialize in martial arts. While they were fighting you see Kyouya typing in his laptop again so you go to him.
"Kyouya...computing expenses of the Host club again?"
You see him rubbing his temples & give you a nod. Since you two are together, he lets you see what he does & believe it or not you have seen his 'holy' clipboard! You look at the expenses flashed on the computer.
He says, "The expenses are more than expected so there are no significant increases in profit." You thought, 'He's a really business-minded...' you see that there are increase in profit but you know that Kyouya wants it to double by the end of the month. You pointed things where he can cut off some budget & first one is the dessert.
He rationalized, "Can't do that...Hunny-senpai will go ballistics."
Then you pointed on the designs. "Can't do that either...Tamaki."
So you both talk about money-making things to develop for the club until you heard them announce that Hunny is the winner. The club went in front of the gym & Chika suddenly comes out. He tells you all how he is frightened by his older brother's unexplainable love of cake. They agreed to settle it all w/ a fight. The day ended w/ Hunny winning & you all went home. As usual Kyouya takes you home.
When you reached your house, the door opened the moment you got out of the car & you heard...
"My angel!" You rushed to your father & gave him a hug.
"Daddy..." He noticed Kyouya & gave him a meaningful smile.
~Kyouya's POV~
Shiyomi's father gave you a meaningful smile.
"Kyouya, would you like to go inside for a while?" Shiyomi's father invites you. You look at him & once again you talk the language of men. You know better than to refuse...heck you have no right to refuse! So you say,
"Yes, Hayashi-san" Then you went inside w/ them. You all sat on the living room.
"My angel...I say you change first." Shiyomi look at her Dad then at you. You knew that she's suspicious...but shuns the idea.
"Ok", you hear her say. Once Shiyomi is out of sight & earshot, her father looks at you sternly & say, "I see, the time you are spending w/ my daughter has greatly increased..." You know that this is a very serious matter.
"Yes, sir." He smirks at your remark, "Young man, I'll go straight to the point...answer it truthfully...Are you & Shiyomi in a relationship, other than friends...that is?"
You know that there's no use lying."Yes, sir."
He raises an eyebrow."How long already?"
"Since the fieldtrip, sir."
"I see...just remember what I said the first time we talked & you'll be fine."
Honestly, you're starting to get nervous & you gulped a little. "I understand, sir."
He gives you another meaningful smile; "Very well, I assume that Shiyomi will not know a thing about this talk...right?" Then you both heard Shiyomi.
~Your POV~
You walk to them, "I'm done Daddy." You walk beside your father. You look at Kyouya & you noticed that in spite of his emotionless face, to you he looked like he just came out of an interrogation room. So you asked, "I don't mean to be nosy but...What were you talking about?" You heard your father give a short hearty laugh while Kyouya remains silent.
Then your father said, "About business matters, my angel. Now, Kyouya I think you should be on your way now."
"Yes, sir.", he replied.
Something really tells you that Kyouya is not alright.
Your father interrupts the silence once again, "Well you should see him off my dear; I'll be in the dining room."
You & Kyouya head to the doors while your father head the other way. You knew something was wrong so you asked Kyouya, "What's wrong you look awkward?"
He turns your way & gives you a smile, "Maybe I'm just tired...Well I'll be off now."
"Ok" you say not completely convinced.
"Shiyomi...", he calls to you again.
"Yes"
"...I almost forgot, you have anything to do tomorrow...it's weekend"
Inside your head you look at your mental organizer before saying, "Nothing much...my father will be going at the research facilities tomorrow...so yeah, I'm free."
He gives you a smirk, "Good...I'll call you tomorrow."
"Bye", you say but he doesn't move, you try to figure out what you forgot.
"Oh...Sorry." You gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Bye...your one demanding person."
He just smirks & says, "I know..."
You playfully hit his arm. "Bye" you say for the last time & he waves at you before the car took off.
~In the dining room...Father's POV~
You just talked to Kyouya, which you have confirmed your daughter's boyfriend. You thought, 'Good choice.' Then your daughter arrived at the dining room & you both sat down. She asks about your trip & you tell it w/ your jolly self. You finished dinner & you ask her about school & she tells you what happened until...
"Daddy?"
"Yes, my angel?"
She gets uneasy, "I kind of have something to tell you."
You just smiled at her while you thought,'...A really good kid, you are Shiyomi...' You're a feeling a little flattered because you knew what she is going to tell you & you're glad that she's doing so.
"Daddy...You know...I..."
"My angel, just tell me ok...no need to be nervous."
She looks at you then finally let it out, "Kyouya is...somehow...my boyfriend now..."
You see that she's holding her breath so you let out a short laugh, "I always thought that would happen...eventually."
~Your POV~
You are so nervous & you know that you have to tell your father. You thought, 'It's not worth lying about it...' So you let it out, not knowing how your father is going to take it. Surprisingly, he said that he was expecting it. You stood up & went to your father, he is still sitting. You gave him a hug, your face rested on his shoulders. You say, "Thanks dad."
He holds your arm & says, "I just can't believe that you've grown that much."
You went to your room & got your phone. You haven't called Yukari for a while so you guess that it's about time. You tried to contact her but something is interrupting in the line. So you decided to stop for a while & the moment you stopped, your phone rang & you see You & Yukari's picture.
Yukari: SHIYOMI! IT'S SO HARD TO CONTACT YOU!
You: Yukari...I have been trying to contact you...just this while ago.
Yukari: Oh, we must've been interrupting each other. Anyway, I haven't heard from you in ages. Well what's new?
You: Nothing...I just told my father about Kyouya...
Yukari: ...OH MY! How did uncle take it?
You: Surprisingly, he even said he was expecting it...
Then you continued to talk. You told her that the Ouran Festival is about to come & that the art club wants to 'highlight' your works. She just answered
Yukari: Of course they would want to 'highlight' your works, they are a sensation in the world!
So you talk some more until you both got tired & said your goodbyes. Soon you fell asleep.
~Kyouya's POV~
You finally reached your house & you know that your father just came back from a business trip. You ate dinner alone & head towards your room. You bathe & you just finished dressing when you heard a knock on your door.
"Kyouya?...This is onee-chan!" You heard your sister from the other side. You opened the door & your sister sees you, a towel still over your head.
"What is it Fuyumi-nee-chan?" You both sit on your couch.
She says in a cheery tone, "Nothing I just thought I'd visit my baby brother! So how is school?"
"Nothing much...",you reply but right now you're thinking about Shiyomi & the confrontation from her father.
"By the way, father wants to talk to you...in his office." You suddenly shifted your eyes while you thought, 'Is she joking? Why would father talk to me?' But your sister's face was serious.
"Kyouya...I'll be off now. Father is waiting..." Then she left. You took off the towel off your head & head to the office. While walking you thought, 'I bet this is only another task...*sighs*'
Soon you're in front of the office & you hesitate for a while but knocks anyway.
"Kyouya?...Come in." you opened the door & found your father sitting & his desk in front of him as usual.
"You called for me, father." He motions for you to sit on the chair in front & you do as he tells you. "Kyouya...All efforts will have its result."
You look at your father a little confused but you guess that he's just going to give you another lecture. He continues, "You must be tired, go to bed & rest yourself..." You are definitely confused right now. You thought, 'Is my father drunk or possessed?...I don't smell alcohol so...yeah he's possessed..O.o' You stand up, still calm & say, "I'll be off now, father." Then you gave him a bow. You walk towards the door & when you are about to turn the knob, you heard your father again, "Kyouya...one more thing..." You turned to face your father. "...just keep on doing what you're doing...off you go now." You gave him a nod, went out & closed the door behind you. Inside your head you're bumping your head in a wall while you thought,'...That is definitely not father...I need to call the private police!...He just miraculously complimented me?!...' You entered your room & went to bed but you grab your laptop on the way. You turned it on & went to Tanaka Kawano's files again. You thought, 'Time to get my father's actions out of my head...maybe he's just tired...I'll have to find that Kawano's background.' You won't let something suspicious like that pass, especially if it concerns Shiyomi.
~The next day~
You had your breakfast & Kyouya called you. Your father already went to the research facilities. Kyouya tells you that he'll pick you up & that you'll go to some place. Your phone is ringing & you see that Kyouya & your picture appears so you answer it
You: Hello
Kyouya: Hello...Ohayo, Shiyomi"
You: Ohayo...So what now?
Kyouya: You had your breakfast already?
You: Yes...you
Kyouya: Not yet...Well I'll pick you up in 30 minutes, Ok?
You: No...In an hour...take your breakfast first or I won't go w/ you at all [...I knew it, he didn't eat breakfast yet!]
You figured out a way to contradict Kyouya's insisting nature...by giving him consequences. It's a mind game you both played.
Kyouya: [This girl can drive me crazy!]...Ok, in an hour...
You: That's more like it...bye
Kyouya: Bye...
You: Matte (wait). Kyouya…
Kyouya: hn?
You: I love you
Then she suddenly hung up. Kyouya became red all over his face & tried so hard not to burst w/ all the emotions. So you're now riding in the Limousine. You're wearing jeans & nice gray long sleeves. Kyouya holds your hand & you just look outside the window when both your phones ringed. Once you both picked up you hear, "GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" It was Tamaki & you both figured out that he's using the 'Host Club & Shiyomi line' & he's talking to all of you all at once. You press the hang up button of your phone because you'll hear Tamaki through Kyouya's...
Tamaki:...Oh wait...Shiyomi got disconnected...
You:*speaking through Kyouya's phone*...Tamaki, I didn't get disconnected, I hung up...
Tamaki:...OH MY GOD THERE'S A GHOST IN THE PHONE LINE! AND SHE'S IMITATING SHIYOMI!
Kyouya:*holding the phone w/ an outstretched arm*...Tamaki, she's w/ me...
Tamaki: Oh she's w/ you...wait SHE'S W/ YOU! IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING PLUS IT'S WEEKEND!... Kyouya I'll get you...you perve-
He was cut off by Kyouya talking as calmly as possible...One could not tolerate Tamaki's noise in the morning this much...It's one of Kyouya's talent!
Kyouya: Tamaki...what are you saying? You're the one who has a corrupted mind, thinking about these kind of things...
You: Calm down now...it's not what you think you know, we're just hanging out...
You & Kyouya gave each other a look both saying, 'That's Tamaki', you often gave this look when Tamaki goes all out weird.
You: Tamaki...you calm now?
Hikaru: Our lord is...
Kaoru:...Losing his mind!
Hunny: Ohayo! Tamaki...what is it?
Mori: Hmn
Kyouya: Tamaki?
Tamaki: AS I WAS SAYING! I'D LIKE ALL OF US TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER!
Hikaru & Kaoru: We're fine w/ it!
Hunny: I'll bring cake to Haru-chan!
Mori: Hmn
Kyouya: Tamaki...Shiyomi & I can't-
You:*cutting off Kyouya*...We're in, Tamaki
Tamaki: GOOD I'LL SEE YOU THERE!
Then you hung up. Kyouya looks at you & say, "What was that about?" You smile at him.
"Nothing...I don't want you getting caught in between your friend & me...& I want to see Haru-chan as well."
~Kyouya's POV~
She just told you that she doesn't want you getting caught in between her & Tamaki. You thought, 'She knows me more than I know myself...she perceives things beforehand...' So you say, "It's ok. If you don't want to go..."
"No I want to..." Then you realize the words that Fuyumi told you, she always reduce the pressure you feel.
You say to her, "You always look out for me..."
She smiles & says, "And you just do the same..."
~Your POV~
The rest of the travel was quiet. You finally arrived at Haruhi's house & the Host Club knocks...You see Haruhi's father & he didn't have the right consciousness at first for he didn't mocked Tamaki right away but when he gained it, all you can say in your head was,'...tsk, tsk, tsk...poor Tamaki...' So you found out that Haruhi was kidnapped by the Zuka Club of Lobelia Academy. You went to Lobelia & the others disguised themselves as 'Benibara fans.' You got inside the academy & when Kyouya pulled you away from them & walked away.
You said, "Kyouya, wouldn't it be rude to leave them just like that?"
He pushes his glasses up, "Actually, I am looking after them...& you're definitely going w/ me..." So you just followed Kyouya & he went to the technical room while the others, as they consider it, 'spied' on them. On the tech booth you're both being entertained. Kyouya devised a plan so he called someone to send him a copy of a specific picture from the Host club dance. While waiting, you & Kyouya talk.
You: What are you planning this time?
Kyouya: Something...*pushes up glasses*...interesting. Sometimes you just have to make use of what is available...like connections.
You: Oh really...
Kyouya: Wait, as I remember...Why didn't you join us back then?
You: In the dance?...Well as you know Mr. Ootori, I am not a fan of the Host club...
Kyouya: I thought Yukari could've pulled you somehow.
You: *evil smirk*...It's easy I simply said I was sick...sick of hearing girls squealing...
You talk some more & then that part came...Kyouya pushed the button &..."Well, you missed that..."
You look at the screen & see Haruhi kissing a girl...You were a little shock for you know that Haruhi is a girl. You look at Kyouya & he understood that you wanted an explanation.
"Tamaki" was all he said & you got it in an instant. Then all of them headed home but you & Kyouya remained in front of the gate . Kyouya didn't call the Limousine.
"Kyouya, aren't we going home?" He just takes your hand & kisses your forehead.
"Not quite, let's go somewhere else...Are you ok w/ it?" Since your original plan was to hang out w/ Kyouya & you only got diverted when Tamaki called you agreed to go w/ him. He started walking still holding your hand. You arrived at the amusement park & he sees you smile.
"Shiyomi, like what you see?" You look at him & you are reminded when he took you out when Yukari just left the country.
"Come, I'll get you ice cream." He pulled you to the ice cream store. He knew that you love strawberry so he ordered for you & he got himself Chocó mint chip.
~Kyouya's POV~
You took Shiyomi in an amusement park. You got her ice cream then you bought a 'ride all you can' tickets. You started w/ the roller coaster & instead of screaming you see Shiyomi, laughing. You thought,'...weird as always...' You just continue to go on rides & when you both got tired you sat on a bench. She's holding yet another stuffed toy, a big one, in her right hand & eating ice cream, again, w/ her left hand. You just look at her, happy that you saw her laughing & smiling all day. When she finished her ice cream she smiles at you & say, "Thank you...Kyouya" You just gave her a smirk. It was almost a great day if only...
~Your POV~
You were talking to Kyouya when you heard, "Shiyomi-san..." You turn your head & see Tanaka. He sits beside you & say, "Shiyomi-san I didn't expect you to be here!" You gave him a slight nod before saying,"...me too."
You hear Kyouya clear his throat a little & you knew that he's being uneasy again. "I see, your w/ Kyouya-san, nice seeing you as well Kyouya-san!" Kyouya replies while giving a 'fake smile', "Nice seeing you too, Tanaka-san. What brings you here?"
"Nothing important, just taking walks on a weekend." Tanaka replied w/ an equally hypocrite tone. Tanaka diverted his gaze to you once more, "Uh, Shiyomi-san...I was wondering if you could get me in the art club?"
Kyouya holds your hand. "Tanaka-san...you should talk to Umi-san, the president."
"Oh I see, could you help me then?" Kyouya gets his phone & tells them to send a car at the amusement park.
"I'll try...*diverts to Kyouya*...Can we go home now?"
He smiles at you, "Yes, a car is on its way."
You then heard Tanaka, "I shall be on my way too, Sayonara...Shiyomi-san, Kyouya-san" You wave at him but you see Kyouya give him an empty stare. Once he turned his back, a trace of smirk is plastered on his face. There was only silence & then the car arrived moments later. Once inside the car you said to Kyouya, "Kyouya...You're jealousy is quite evident." He looks at you like he doesn't know what you're talking about.
"Huh?"
You just smile at his remark, "Then I guess...*smirk*...I should hang out w/ Tanaka some time, right?"
He raises an eyebrow to your words & he suddenly becomes stern."Shiyomi, if he ever bothers you..."
You giggle, "Yeah... , I don't want private police" But his face still don't change.
"Shiyomi, he's background is suspicious..."
You just joke w/ him, "Yes, Mr. Ootori" Then you give him a peck on the lips. His face softened & the whole ride was quiet.
