The car stopped in front of the apartment building, and its lines of matching doors. I ruffled my hand through my hair looking at it in the rear view mirror, there was no way of helping it my hair cutting skills left much to be desired and that showed in my sad attempt.

"I like it." Ranka offered. "Very edgy."

"If by that you mean that it looks like I cut it with a hack saw." I retorted.

"Oh only a little." He laughed. I smiled knowing that he was trying to make me feel better, something that I was, though I'm not one to admit it most of the time, was in need of. I climbed out of the car looking around, I honestly had know sense of what time it was, I had lost track earlier and like everything else to day I had been able to pull back together. I followed Ranka up the stair to the second floor where they lived. The door was already unlocked so as we went in.

"What is he doing here?" Haruhi asked from the place where she was sitting on the floor studying.

"He needed a place to stay." Her father explained.

"And he choose here. That seems like an odd thing for him to do. Don't you have other rich friends to spend your time with." Kind as always.

I sat staring across the table at my friend.

"Why are you wearing that?" She asked. "It doesn't look like what you normally wear."

"I know." I said running my hand down my pants to take any wrinkles, not that it was worth it, nothing could make me look natural wearing this attire.

"What happened to your hair?"

"I cut it." I said flatly. What is this an interrogation I thought.

"You cut it?" She put a strange emphasis on the word you.

"Yes is there something wrong with that. Really Haruhi as a commoner that type of thing should seem normal to you, as it is customary to your type."

"Well..." She stopped to think a moment. "Its not like that. I think that its strange that you would cut your own hair, sure other people do it all the time, but you seem to... I don't know refined for that type of thing." I smiled she was absolutely right. Normally I would never do something like that.

"Alright." Ranka said setting a tray of tea and sandwiches between the two of us. "Sorry to interrupt the inquisition, but I thought you might be in need of some lunch." He smiled warmly at us.

"Thank you." I said. "I swear I'll pay you back?" He raised an eye brow.

"Pay me back?"

"Yes for any food or anything. I know that you might need it."

"Its alright." He said.

"But..."

"We aren't destitute its really alright." I nodded. BRING BRING, I turned to look at the phone. "I guess I'll go get that." He grabbed the phone. "Fujioka residence." I was un able to make out what the caller was saying, just a person franticly yelling. He moved away from his ear. "Haruhi I think its for you."

"Who is it?" She asked looking at the phone disgustedly.

"One of your little friends."

"I'm not taking it." She said.

"You have to, apparently its very desperate. I think he said that someone died."

"Fine." She took it with a huff. "What do you want?" Yelling. "He is not dead." more yelling. "Yes hes hear." Yelling. "Yes really." ... "Yeah I'll put you on." She held the phone to me. "Its for you. Apparently your dead." Of course I am. I took it.

"Hello?" I said.

"Kyoya!" Tamaki yelled. "I've been so worried."

"Tamaki I told you that I was going to be busy this weekend." I said trying to calm him down.

"But then I heard that you had gone missing." He was still sounding worried.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Fuyumi called me asking if you were with me." Obviously I guess my family must be looking fro me. "And since you weren't I put together a search team."

"What?"

"A search team." He repeated. "Hikarua and Kouru are on there way back from Kyoto and Mori and Honey are on a plan even as we speak."

"Well you can tell them all that I'm fine and that they should all go back and enjoy there weekend."

"Of course not, we will all be there as soon as we can."

"Tamaki don't, tell them to go back." I said making my voice stern.

"I'm getting in the car and will be beside you in no time to make sure that you are alright." He said in the sing song ton that he switched to when he stopped listening.

"Tamaki I would really prefer if you didn't do that."

"No fear I would not leave my friend stranded and lost."

"I'm not lost."

"And all alone. You must be so sad."

"I'm with Haruhi." I said not that it was use by this point.

"I'll be there soon." The phone went dead.

"Dame it." I said hitting my head on the table.

"I know the feeling." Haruhi said taking the phone back to put it on the receiver. "So everyone is coming over?" I had to laugh even though I was annoyed.

"Yeah they are."
