Breaking away "I mean that Kaoru." Haruhi smiled.
"Really?" Excitement filling Kaoru's eyes.
"Yes I have nothing to be scared of with you."
Hugging her tenderly "Thank you," Whispered Kaoru.
They danced the night away losing track of time.
"Whoa." said Kaoru looking at his watch. "It's 2 am"
"2AM? Oh crap Dad is going to have a fit." Haruhi started to freak out.
"Calm down." He calmly said taking her hands into his own. "I'll take you home."
"Thank you." Sighed Haruhi.
Calling a driver they were on their way to the Fujioka residence.
"Well I'll see you Monday well I actually guess tomorrow." Stuttered Kaoru.
"See you then," she returned.
Leaning in and gently kissing her goodbye.
"I love you Kaoru."
"I love you too Haruhi."
Heading to the door as they drove out she let out a girly squeal.
Stepping inside her joyous trance was broken by Ranka.
"HAVE YOU SEEN THE TIME? IT'S 2AM!" he screamed.
"H…have you been drinking?" Haruhi said backing away.
"So what you think you can do whatever you want?" he yelled stepping closer.
"No I just forgot."
Just then the unthinkable happened and he slapped her.
"Forgetting isn't allowed," he growled as she tried not to scream in pain.
"Dad you're drunk go to bed." She whimpered putting her hand on her cheek walking to her room closing the door.
"NO YOU GET OUT."
"Wh..at do you mean," Haruhi stammered.
"I mean you are no longer allowed here."
Quickly grabbing her school uniform and cell phone she ran out still in a ball gown.
Running down the road she had no clue where she was going to go or who to run to.
She felt so lost and alone.
Pulling out her phone she texted Kaoru
Haruhi- Hey dad has some people over can I come stay with you?
Kaoru- Of course see you soon?
Haruhi- Thanks see you in 10
Kaoru- See you then
Putting her phone away she relised "he's going to wonder why I have my uniform"
With quick thinking she tore the sleeve "I'll just say I thought maybe his mom could mend it."
Arriving at the Hitachiin estate
Hikaru answered the door.
"What do you want?" he glared.
"I'm here for Kaoru just leave me alone Hikaru." Looking away.
Shoving him out of the way Kaoru hugged Haruhi. "Hikaru leave her alone."
"Whatever," he mumbled storming out of the house.
"Haruhi!" gasped Kaoru. "Your cheek is so red… did someone hit you?"
"Oh ummmm," trying to think. "It'd probably just the lighting.
"Ok" Kaoru remained suspicious but he decided to let it go.
Bringing her inside.
"Why do you have your uniform?"
"OH the sleeve tore I thought maybe your mom could mend it?"
"Of course" he took it and set it on her desk with a note.
"Thank you," Haruhi said through a yawn.
"Tired?"
"Yes"
"Here I'll show you to the guest room." Taking her hand.
"Can I stay with you?"
"Ummm," he got the wrong idea. "Are you sure?"
Instantly knowing what he meant "No I don't mean that."
"What do you mean then?" Kaoru didn't understand.
"I just want to fall asleep in your arms."
"As you wish," he kissed her forehead. "Just let me get you something to sleep in."
Wandering up to his room he entered wearing sweatpants and no shirt holding clothes.
"I got you a pair of my gym shorts and a t-shirt."
"Perfect," she smiled taking them "Thank you" exiting to the bathroom to change.
Reentering changer "Better?" asked Kaoru.
"Much."
Laying down facing him he pulled her into him arms holding her close.
Setting her head on his bare chest.
"I love you Kaoru," she said just before drifting off to sleep.
Kissing her hair "I love you too Haruhi."
He then drifted off to sleep himself.
