Kyoya On A Mission

A Ouran High Love Story

Part Ten

Trust

"Get off of my Belle."

The seemed to hang in the air like an icy wind. I didn't want to turn around knowing who was bound to be standing there. But I couldn't stop myself and as I thought there stood Kyoya with cold glaring eyes and a scowl on his face. "Kyoya what are you talking about?" Tamaki said with mild surprise in his voice.

"I meant what I said Tamaki. Get away from her now you idiot! How dare you kiss her when you knew how I felt and what I had to do." he snapped at his friend with a fierceness I had never heard in his voice before. I was both frightened and intrigued by his behavior. I had never seen him like this before.

"Kyoya I think you have things all wrong here. She was just saying goodbye and thanks after comforting her after what you did. Besides you should talk after what you did with Haruhi." Tamaki said calmly though there was a coldness in his voice as he mentioned Haruhi. I looked from Kyoya to Tamaki expecting one of them to freeze from the others glare.

"I have a reason for what I did. What possible reason might you have for kissing her? I never saw you two kiss before saying goodbye before. Unless you have been going behind my back and doing so!" Kyoya said as his hands formed into fist. For a second I was afraid he might punch Tamaki but then something he said caught my attention.

"You have a reason for what you did? What possible reason might there be for you on top of Haruhi on your bed." I said quietly but I knew they could both hear me. Tamaki turned and gave me a sympathetic stare but Kyoya looked at me with the same sad eyes that I had seen in the mirror this morning. The eyes of someone who had been hurt by the person they loved.

"Belle … how could you possibly think that I would do anything with Haruhi? Don't you understand how I feel about you? After all the time we have spent together. I was trying to prove to her that she should be more careful because your sex does matter in some situations. You must know that I would never hurt you in anyway." he said taking a step towards me with an out stretched hand. I backed away from him and shook my head. He was lying. There were better ways to prove that to her then what he did. "Belle please there was no other way." he said gently.

"How can I possibly believe you. The look in your eyes when you stared down at her .. it was so real." I said holding back even more tears as the painful scene unfolded again before my eyes. Haruhi's shocked expression the hunger in Kyoya's eyes how could I possibly trust him after what I saw? "Why should I trust you?" I said even softer then before.

He grabbed my hand softly, I hadn't even noticed he had come to stand by my side. "Because you know me Belle. Think of all the time we have spent together, all the memories we have made. Do you think I would just through that all away? Nobody knows me like you do Belle and when have I ever lied to you?" he said pleadingly.

Those memories came rushing back to me as I felt the warmth of his skin next to mine again. All the classes together, the afternoons spent with the host club, even the long nights of studying at his house. Yet as much as I wanted to trust him I couldn't. As much as I wanted everything to go back to normal I always knew he was hiding something from me. Just by the way his father would look at us both, the way he always tried to impress her when his father was around, it just all didn't add up. I knew he kept a secret and his father was part of it.

I looked into his eyes and for the first time I didn't feel like crying. Instead I matched his steady gaze and said "If you want me to trust you tell me what you have been keeping from me. What did your father tell you to do?" That's when his eyes became foggy with fear and sadness. So I was right after all, he was keeping something from me.

Suddenly he couldn't look me in the eye any more but seeing as he couldn't find away around telling me he pulled on my hand and said with his voice drained of emotion "Come with me." I stared back at Tamaki as I was lead away and he looked at me with wide surprised eyes. Maybe even Kyoya's best friend didn't know.

We sat down in the deserted library and that when he told me everything. About his fathers orders and his research on me. Even about how he had told everyone to stay away from me when I first arrived. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I didn't want to believe it. I looked out the window as gray clouds covered the sun and the first few raindrops started to fall. It seemed as if the sky's themselves were reflecting her mood. "So its all been a lie then? Everything that has ever happened between us? Our very friendship was nothing but an attempt for you to marry me for my fathers company? I always thought you were power hungry Ootari but to fool with my heart. That is a new low." I said trying to hide the new wave of hurt that washed over me. "I guess I have no more reason to stay. Tell your father sorry but you failed your mission." I said coldly getting up, ready to walk away from him forever.

I expected him to protest but he did something I hadn't expected. He kissed me. I had wanted this to happen for the longest time but right now I wanted anything but his kiss. I tried to pull away but I couldn't. His kiss was filled with so much passion and warmth I actually found myself enjoying it. It was if everything he couldn't find the words to say were coming out through this one single kiss.

Kyoya finally pulled away leaving me breathless and my head fuzzy. He held my head in his hands and said quietly "Belle at first I was only doing what I was told but as soon as I met you something changed. You were so unlike anyone I had ever met. So filled with passion and kindness ready to do whatever it took to prove yourself to everyone. Even if my father hadn't told me I had to marry you I would of fell in love with you anyway. You are the only person I would ever want to marry."

I believed him. Against every fiber in me that said I shouldn't I believed him. I wanted nothing more then to throw myself into his arms breathing in his scent and feeling his body pressed up against but I wouldn't. He had hurt me so bad I would not let him win me over so easily again. I pulled away from his ever so gently and said in a whisper "Kyoya you hurt me so bad."

He pulled me in closer and kissed me lightly over and over again saying "I am sorry, so so sorry." I let him enjoying the softness of his lips against mine and the taste of mint on his breath. But I stopped him and he looked down on me with sorrowful eyes.

"I know but Kyoya you broke my trust. You kept something so huge from me for so long. You are going to have to earn it back" I said with a small smile on my lips.

He nodded and said "Anything. Just tell me."

I smiled at him with a wicked gleam in my eye as I said seductively "Kiss me." The corners of his lips twitched as he nodded and wrapped his arms around my waist as he kissed me again with a bit more force. I kissed him back with my fingers entwined in his hair. He may have hurt me once but I had a feeling he would make it up to me now that he was all mine.
