Things are beginning to heat up and I am taking advantage of the side effects of my meds and a full pack of cigarettes (can't have alcohol atm, so sadly no wine to make me feel like a real writer) to get a third chapter out in one night. I hope this makes up for nearly a six month hiatus. If you guys still love me say so in a review.

It was a Sunday and Kyouya was hard at work. It was true what they said about there being no rest for the wicked; what should have been a day off never was for the youngest Ootori. He was in the middle of a break even analysis when he was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.

It was not his father. The man would never stoop so low as to visit the office of an underling so it could be only one other person. "What?" he called out in an irritated voice. A little bit of his annoyance was at the interruption, but most of it was because she should not have been able to get past either security or his secretary. He would need to find the weak spot and patch it up later.

The door opened slowly and herself entered. Kamiko was putting up a remarkable show of self-control but Kyouya knew her too well not to spot the whiteness of her knuckles as she gripped the door handle.

Kamiko had spent a week planning how she was going to bring this up, but she had seen almost nothing of her fiancée in that time and she was beginning to lose her control as she felt herself losing him. She was under no allusions of love but the thought of giving up such an advantageous match to a filthy commoner was beginning to affect her beauty sleep. This needed to be finally put to an end.

She lost her calm while fighting with that stupid PA and so she had none left to lead up to her question. She shut the door, reached into her bag and pulled out the photograph in its silver frame. The image was the one that had given her the first idea of infidelity.

"Kyouya. Are you sleeping with her?" She brandished the picture of him a Haruhi right in his face.

Kyouya almost laughed. "Her name is Haruhi, and we have never had sex." It was an intentional half answer. Kamiko knew it.

"But you are seeing her behind my back, admit it." Her voice was rising into hysteria. Kyouya expected that this was what happened whenever a spoiled brat felt she wasn't getting her way.

"She has far too much honour for that."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean you bastard?"

His voice was still completely calm. "It means that she turned me down." His slight sad smile was missed by his fiancé.

"The great Kyouya Ooroti turned down by a cheap whore who knows her place!" She mocked him. Kamiko did not seem to realise that her stock was dropping lower and lower with every word she spoke. Nor that his hand was reaching towards the little button wired under his desk. It was all he could do not to hit her to shut her up. He would never hit another person. He was not his father.

"Leave now. Before you embarrass yourself further."

"Oh yes? And what is the great Kyouya Ootori going to do to make me?"

"You haven't the first idea of what I can do." His voice was dead with menace, a strong contrast to her own.

"Well, you wouldn't dare. I'll tell your father everything. Ruin your chances of inheriting." Kyouya had never before realised just how ugly her face could become when it was all twisted with vindictive rage like it was now.

"I think I can afford to take that chance." He said just as the door opened again and two heavily muscled security guards entered one after the other. These were two of the same men that Huni and Mori had once helped him defeat.

Kamiko refused to leave quietly but soon found that she was no match for the two men who were little more than thugs with a uniform. She was dragged physically from the room. Screaming the whole way and dropping the photo frame. The plush carpet was the only thing that kept it from breaking.

Kyouya picked it up and studied it for a second. Then he placed it back on his desk in the place of pride it used to occupy. He picked up the phone and pressed #9, "Tachibana? I need you to organise something for me.

I am going to keep writing, but this is all you are getting for tonight. I hope three chapters makes my absence up to you guys.
