Chapter 10:

Haruhi:

Christmas time was fast approaching and Haruhi felt swamped. How did Kyoya do it? It also must've been even harder for Kyoya because Tamaki was never much help in planning. At least Haruhi had Mamoru.

At the moment Haruhi was busy interviewing and hiring people. She needed musicians, wait staff, chefs, cleaning crews, decorators, judges and ticket sellers.

Tickets were something new this year. Haruhi had approached Mr. Suoh and gotten him to agree to let the Host Club throw a school wide dance. Tickets were ¥5,000 for all females. Any males that wanted to buy a ticket were welcome to, but they were charged ¥30,000. If a male didn't want to pay this he was welcome to take the dance card option. Each gentleman that took this option would be given a dance card that said 'Honorary Host Club Member' and had six lines on it. The dance card would hang from their wrists. Any lady that wanted to could go up to them and request to be put on their card. Then when the dancing started, after dinner, the gentleman would seek out one of the ladies on his card for each of the first six songs. After this he would be free to dance with whomever he wanted.

When Tamaki had heard about this a few weeks earlier he had freaked out. Haruhi didn't know why, this way it was possible for more ladies to dance, which would make them happy. Haruhi had always found it awkward that there were only seven 'gentlemen' to dance with dozens of ladies. Haruhi hadn't told Kyoya about this change yet, she was going to wait until the actual Christmas Party to tell him, she rarely ever got to surprise him.

At the moment Haruhi was done with the Host Club entertaining time and was running over to a restaurant to taste the food and pick out the menu for the party.

Kyoya:

Kyoya was walking back to his limo after the last class of the day when a thought occurred to him. He hadn't seen Haruhi in two weeks and it would be another two weeks until their date at the Koenig Christmas Party. They had never gone that long without seeing each other. Maybe he could get her to go on a date this Friday night? Yes, Kyoya thought, Friday night would work well. It wouldn't do to go so long without seeing each other.

Kyoya pulled out his cell phone and hit the number one to call Haruhi. It rang and rang, Kyoya was wondering if she would actually answer when he suddenly heard a "Hello?"

"Haruhi, its Kyoya."

"Hi Kyoya. Why did you call?" As Haruhi said this he noticed that she sounded out of breath.

"I was wondering if you were available this Friday night for a date." Kyoya stated, he knew he didn't have to ask, Haruhi always said yes.

"Kyoya, Friday is tomorrow. You do know that right?" Haruhi asked.

"Of course I do Haruhi, but it's only a Friday, if we go too long without going on a date it will seem odd." Kyoya answered.

"Well Kyoya, it will have to seem odd, because I'm not available." Haruhi stated quite calmly, she wasn't out of breath anymore.

"What do you mean you're busy? We have an agreement Haruhi." Kyoya said letting some of the aggravation get into his voice. Not much, but just enough.

Kyoya thought he heard a growl on the other end of the phone, but that couldn't be right… Haruhi never growled and she barely ever lost her temper.

"Kyoya, I am busy, the Christmas Party is next Friday, I have exams to study for, I'm taking my entrance exams in four months, and I still have to do all my regular school work. I am too busy. Now go and play with Tamaki. Goodbye." There was an audible click and Kyoya was no longer on the phone with Haruhi.

Kyoya sat there in his limo feeling shell-shocked. Haruhi was too busy for him? When did this happen? Haruhi also seemed to have developed a temper. When? How?

Kyoya sat for a minute wondering what bothered him most: that she was busy or that she got angry at him. He honestly didn't know.

Kyoya did realize something while sitting in the limo driving home. He did not like Haruhi being busy or angry. Why did it bother him so much?

Haruhi:

Haruhi spent the rest of the day in a bad mood. Not that anyone could tell when talking with her, she hid it well. How dare Kyoya say they have an agreement? Didn't he understand that since the debt was paid there was no agreement? Didn't he realize that she was only dating him because she enjoyed doing so?

Haruhi put her hand over her necklace, the seashell one Kyoya had given her, and closed her eyes as she laid on her futon. Just holding it made her feel calmer. She knew there was more to Kyoya than he showed the world; she just wished he would show it to her, maybe then…..

Kyoya:

Lying in bed that night Kyoya came to a realization. Even though he didn't know his feelings for Haruhi he knew that he had to keep her happy and in his life.
