Chapter 10 – Almost To Late

Rated – T

Narrators P.O.V

Tears streamed down Haruhi's face. Out of the fear that was building inside her all she could do was hope for Kyoya to make it and cry, Angelica had a horrible darkness coming off of her. I wicked grin played on her face, just waiting to reveal its self fully when something truly wicked would happen. Angelica had something planed to keep Kyoya from coming but what was it.

Kyoya on the other hand was racing through the streets as fast as he could trying his hardest to make it. He only had fifteen minutes left at this rate he would. But then that would be no fun.

There it was, the grin Haruhi never wanted to see.

Angelica raised her hand and drug her nails quickly across the crystal ball. Suddenly the ground on the street rumbled and cracked. The street lamp fell shattering glass that went everywhere, and Haruhi watched in horror when Kyoya's car hit it dead on. The car flipped over the pole and was now lying upside down. The windows were smashed, and the roof caved in just a bit.

Haruhi looking at the horrible seen, then was suddenly grabbed forcefully by the hair and thrown in front of the crystal ball.

"Now Watch!" Angelica yelled. "Watch your man die!" An evil laugh ran through the air.

Kyoya's P.O.V

My eyes threaten to close. Pain was rushing to my head. I could feel a warm liquid running down my face. I reached for my seat belt that was keeping me held upside down. Unhooking it my body (specially my face,) smashed into the roof of the car. Using my arms I dragged my self out the widow. I was cut up from the glass, head and ears were ringing. Now that the noise started to die down, I looked at my watch

"Nine minutes left," I said to myself.

Nothing was broken that I could feel, so I rose to my feet and started walking. I got my surroundings quickly I was a block from the hospital. At first my movement were sliding and hobbles, then as I started to ignore the pain it turned into a limping speed walk but I had to stop. I wiped the blood that ran from my forehead off. My body hurt so much. Then pictures flashed across my eyes. I closed them to see it more clearly. It was Haruhi. Her smiling face, those sweet innocent eye. Then the kiss we shared, how it felt. I remembered it all.

With those thoughts the pain disappeared and I stared running.

Haruhi's P.O.V

Angelica was fuming, she thought for sure he was going to die. All I could think of was a thank you that he wasn't. I watched him run through the streets. He was bloody and hurt but he kept running.

"Does Kyoya really like me. That much to ignore all his pain." I said mentally.

Then I herd that cackle again. It was Angelica.

"Well, well, well, it looks like that little cutey of your is stronger than I thought. Even if he makes it now. Time is not on his side."

I couldn't tell if she was talking to me or herself, but the darkness she had earlier was coming back this time stronger.

Narrator's P.O.V

Kyoya reached the hospital, and ran through the doors. He had to stop to gasp for air, but not for long. He started a jog/run pushing his way through the crowd. Doctor's and nurses would pull on him, get in his way, and yell his name, anything to get him to stop. But there was no way he was listening.

Hit cuts were bleeding a little stronger and his head pounding harder, but he kept moving. Just trying to get to Haruhi. He reached her door, ran inside and locked it behind him. Kyoya then shut the curtains so no one could see in. He wasn't sure exactly what was going to happen but he wasn't taking any chances.

Kyoya's P.O.V

I reached her bed and only had three minutes left. I took one look at the sleeping girls face and tears started to threaten to fall, but I wouldn't let them.

"Haruhi please wake up." I said then I leaned down and kissed her on the lips, a soft and gentle kiss.

I pulled away to look at her but nothing had happen. She still lied there sound asleep.

The tears really stared to fall. I couldn't take it, I finally broke down. I was surly out of time and there was nothing I could do. I couldn't even tell the girl I cared for for so long now how sorry I was and how I felt. The salty tears that ran down my face, stung at my cuts and landed on the blanket bellow. As much as I doubted she could I knew I had to tell her.

"Haruhi if your still there and if you can here me I... I..." I leaned in till I was just about to kiss her again.

"I Love You."

Haruhi's P.O.V

Tears ran down my cheeks, as Angelica laugh for she thought she had one. I looked towards the crystal ball the image froze right as he kissed me the last time. I heard the words. I never thought I would but he really does love me. And now I can never return them.

I took another long look at the crystal ball, and what I saw made me start to laugh.

"What the hell you laughing at!" Angelica yelled. She grabbed a hand full of my hair and yanked my face to meet her's. "Your all mine Haruhi. You lost..." Angelica through my head back to the ground.

"Look at the picture." I mumbled

"What?..." she snapped

"Look at the picture!" I yelled. Anger, frustration, happiness, mostly anger building up.

She said no words so I decided to point her in the right direction.

"Top of the crystal ball to the left. There hangs a clock on the wall. Tell me Angelica, what time does it say?"

I raised my head to look at her, and she was pissed. The gazebo started to crack again, the ground was shaking. Yeah she was pissed.

"Well Angelica what time does it say."

"11:59" she said it in a very quiet mumble

"Excuse me I don't think I herd you."

"11:59." This time I defiantly herd her.

I stood on my feet and glared at Angelica ready to do what ever.

"Then let me go. I won this game fare and square. I earned my life back!" I yelled at her. Sure I might have been really pushing my luck with Angelica. If anyone else was here with me I knew they be calling be stupid. But I was so done with this game.

"Tsk." She gritted her teeth. Now the entire gazebo was shaking and pieces were falling off. Then she answering. "Fine Haruhi... Freedom..." Angelica raised her hand. "Is yours.." the shackles disappeared, along with the ears and tail. Then a bright light began to shine and my eyes went dark. The last thing I saw was Angelica's face grow dark and the gazebo collapsed in around her. And she mumbled something that I didn't quite catch it all but I caught bits of it.

"Remember..." "Accidents..." "Happen." and "Not over..."

Narrator's P.O.V

A light glow came from Haruhi and her eyes flutter open. Shock ran across Kyoya's face, and they both looked at each other with eyes locked. Before either of them knew it Kyoya was up in the hospital bed clutching Haruhi to his chest. Tears started to run down both of their faces out of joy.

Haruhi said something into Kyoya's ear but he didn't quite catch it. He pulled away to look at her for a moment.

"I'm sorry what did you say, I think my ears still might be ringing."

"I herd you Kyoya I herd everything. It's along story that I will explain to you but I know all that happen. And I said I love you too."

Kyoya grabbed Haruhi and pulled her into a deep kiss. She then wrapped her arms around him deepening the kiss. They stayed like that till loud pounding came from the door.

Reluctantly Kyoya left Haruhi's side while he let the doctors in now that Haruhi was awake. Kyoya was then rushed out of the room to get medical treatment of his own.

Time Jump 2:00 am

Later that night Haruhi left her room to go down the hall to where Kyoya was kept. She slightly knocked before opening the door. Kyoya was still awake in the hospital bed. Both of his forearms were wrapped in bandages and his head had a band-aid on it from his cut.

Haruhi went over and sat at the end of his bed. Kyoya looked at her with a smirk.

"Are you okay. You look like your sore."Haruhi said

"It's okay I'm fine. My car just flipped, your the one who got hit."

"You know whats funny I really don't remember it. Its just kind of black, the getting hit part I mean. But you know what I regret?"

Kyoya cocked an eye brow waiting for her to finish.

"Running out of that room. I shouldn't of."

Kyoya grabbed Haruhi and pulled her into his arms with a soft kiss. When they parted for air Kyoya looked her in the eyes with a soft true smile.

"Haruhi you had every right to be shocked. To run. I caught you off guard and I shouldn't of done that out of the blue."

Haruhi smiled back at Kyoya, then she crawled up closer to him. She kissed him on his forehead then down his wrapped arms. It was a saying like "I'm sorry." but no words were said. Haruhi then whispered in his ear "I love you." and laid her head down on his chest. Kyoya then ran his fingers through her hair as she snuggled closer.

"Haruhi you do promise to tell me everything that went on right. There is still some things that I don't really understand."

"Yes I promise, but first I just want to sleep."

They laid there for only a moment later till Haruhi got up and walked back to her own room. A couple days later both of them got there final check ups and were released from the hospital. They didn't tell The rest of the host club, only because they were both still a little sore. And Tamaki has a reputation of jumping on people. They spent the whole day at Haruhi's just watching movies... being happy... and being together.

Well everyone that is the end. I really hope you liked this story and have enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. There might be a little one chapter sequel after it. I do have a little surprise that may happen. But it wont come unless there are enough people who want it. I hope you will review, comment, and vote if you want that sequel. Also sense I did tell you guys that I would put the chapter up Monday and didn't. Then you could fill in the blank... Well that still holds so... yeah. ("Please be nice it was the holiday." says from her emo corner.)
