Chapter 11:

Before the Christmas Party:

The schools ballroom sparkled and glittered like a winter wonderland. There was a huge decorated Christmas tree in one corner of the room. There were stacks and stacks of presents under it, one for each of the ladies present. The gifts had been picked out by Mamoru and Zackarie, using the files Kyoya had passed down to Haruhi on each lady that frequented the Host Club. To this collection Haruhi had added files on all of the new girls.

The guests weren't here yet, but all of the present and past members of the Host Club were there already. At the moment Tamaki was running around the ballroom ooooing and ahhing over every little detail. From the fake icicles glittering from the ceiling to the garlands and wreathes hanging on the walls and columns. Hunny was over at the dessert table admiring the multitude of Christmas sweets there. Mori was stopping him from trying any until the guests arrived. Chika and Satoshi were talking with the musicians and making sure everything to do with the dancing and music was set up properly. Mamoru and Zackarie were in the kitchens making sure the cooks were on schedule with the dinner that was occurring before the dancing.

Haruhi was off by herself though. She was standing at the top of the staircase and checking off a list of things to do on her clipboard. Kyoya decided to approach her and ask about why there were more seats at tables then there were girls in the school.

Kyoya walked up the stairs and stood about a foot away from Haruhi. "Haruhi, why are there so many seats for the party? I know there aren't this many girls in the school."

"Because there are…" Haruhi was suddenly cut off by the Hitachiin twins.

"MISTLETOE! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" They were shouting together as they jumped up and down on the landing above Kyoya and Haruhi. They had just walked back inside after making sure the walkway to the ballroom from the front door was decorated correctly.

Tamaki heard this as he was examining the paper decorations on the Christmas tree. He started running over towards Kyoya and Haruhi. "NOOOO! No kissing when daddy's present! He won't let mommy kiss his little girl!"

Tamaki's words annoyed Kyoya greatly for some reason. Maybe it was because he wasn't 'mommy' anymore? He looked down at Haruhi standing there, she was looking up at him and her eyes were very wide. So Kyoya did it, he leaned in, cupped Haruhi's face gently, and kissed her.

Tamaki had just reached the steps when Kyoya kissed Haruhi. Tamaki yelled out "NOOOOO!" as he stumbled and fell on the stairs looking up at Kyoya and Haruhi kissing on the center landing. Everyone else in the room looked up at Kyoya and Haruhi. Both of whom seemed to have forgotten that anyone else was in the ballroom with them.

Hunny was sitting on Mori's shoulders as he whispered to himself "It's about time isn't it Mori?" Mori just grunted in agreement.

Satoshi said quietly, but excitedly, to Chika "They are so cute!" Chika just nodded and grinned in agreement.

Zackarie asked Mamoru "This is their first kiss isn't it?" Mamoru smiled and nodded.

Kyoya felt himself falling into the kiss when Haruhi started kissing him back. He had meant to just give her a quick peck, then she had kissed him back and now he was lost. How could he be kissing Haruhi? There was nothing to be gained from it. Kyoya then started to pull back and tried to catch his breath.

Haruhi had been shocked when Kyoya had given in to the twin's teasing. For a second she had stood unmoving under his kiss, but then she did what she wanted, what she had wanted to do ever since the Graduation Party last year. She kissed him back; she tried to put all of her feelings and confusion into the kiss. But before she could do it all Kyoya pulled back. There was a stunned look on his face, like someone had just taken him by surprise, punched him, and taken his breath away.

Haruhi hurriedly stepped back while blushing, she glanced around the room. Everyone was staring at them with silly looks on their faces, except for Tamaki and the twins. Tamaki was still lying on the bottom of the stairs and he had tears running down his face. The Hitachiin twins were holding hands and dancing in a circle.

Haruhi took a deep breath and said "No more horsing around, the guests will be here any minute. Everyone in position now or heads will roll."

Everyone jumped and ran to finish their last minute chores. Except for Kyoya, he just stood there in shock. How could she be so calm and collected after a kiss like that? Was she really that oblivious?

After the Christmas Party:

Kyoya was giving Haruhi a ride home and he was annoyed to say the least, though he kept his face blank. A block away from Haruhi's apartment he finally lost his cool and said "How could you invite boys to a Host Club party? That will ruin the Host Club for sure. The girls come there to be entertained by the Host Club, not by other boys. We should never have made you President. Hikaru would've been better than you are." As Kyoya said this the limo was rolling to a stop.

Haruhi was shocked. Kyoya should've liked the idea! She had made more money for the club in one night then Kyoya had made during all of the previous Christmas Parties combined! Haruhi's breathing got faster; she was just getting control of her temper when Kyoya made one last remark.

"Haruhi, you and your stupid ideas are going to kill the Host Club, I can't believe you were too busy planning this fiasco to go on a date with me last Friday." Kyoya said quite coolly as the limo rolled to a stop.

Haruhi lost it. All of the hard work she had gone through to make this night wonderful and he had made it seem worthless! "Kyoya! How dare you! I worked hard on that event and everyone had a good time! Did someone take your glasses from you during the party? Or are you just that blind even with them on?" Haruhi opened the door before the driver could get to it. She then stood outside holding the door with one hand and resting the other on the car as she leaned in. "I thought you were different Kyoya! But apparently you are nothing but a tin man. You obviously have no heart and I could never love you." Haruhi slammed the car door and walked up to her apartment.

By the time Haruhi reached the door to her apartment she could barely see through the tears pouring down her face. She fell onto her futon as soon as she got the door shut and locked, luckily her dad was at work. Haruhi lay there and cried, she pulled the necklace out, but even holding it she wasn't comforted. How could he say such things to her after such a kiss? She had made the changes to the Host Club to show Kyoya she cared about it, just like he did, and that he didn't have to be around for it to succeed. Why couldn't he understand that? "Mother in heaven, I know this relationship is a charade, but I don't want it to be anymore… Please help me mother." Haruhi then proceeded to cry herself to sleep.

At the Ohtori Estate:

Kyoya was in his room, he was banging his head against the wall, as hard as he could. Why did he blow up at her? He had been surprised by boys being invited but not really angry, he had actually been proud of how she had made the club an even bigger success. He was angry about how she seemed to ignore the kiss. But he couldn't tell her that, she would definitely leave him if he did that, there were supposed to be no feelings involved in their relationship. So he had come up with an excuse to explain why he was angry. There had been some connection during the kiss, but then she had gone on as if there was nothing. Was he really a horrible person that she could never love? Could anyone love him? Is that why the kiss hadn't affected her like it had him? She said he that had no heart. Was that true? Kyoya didn't know anymore.

Could it be that he was really unlovable? His parents had never shown him any emotion as he grew up. Did that cause his heart to shrivel up? No, that wasn't scientifically possible.

Kyoya stopped banging his head and fell on to his bed. He curled into a fetal position. He had to make this up to Haruhi somehow. He had to make her forgive him. But how?

Author's Note: So there is their first kiss and first fight. Silly Kyoya keeps forgetting that Haruhi almost never shows emotion, just like him. And the reason for Haruhi being so distracted is given, which no one guessed exactly right on that one. Can anyone guess how Kyoya is going to make this up to Haruhi? It won't be until chapter 13, so keep making guesses until then! :-) Another chapter up soon! Please leave feedback! I love reading everyone's comments! It's part of what keeps me driven.
