Ah yes, very hot and very fast. Welcome, former readers and new comers! Come one come all and read the fast paced story I have cooked up for you! But its not really fast paced, huh? There is so much that I still need to write, little tid bits of things that still need to be expressed. Sigh. Wish me luck people who are reading this! And as for my screen name change... my original choice for a new name was taken, so Lovely Ritsuka was what I ended up with. But I am now obsessed with Ritsuka from Loveless. Indubitably obsessed. He's the cutest. Winks.

OoO

Haruka, innocent face in place, waltzed back to the hallway in which she had left Kyoya, Mori, Hunny, Kaoru and Hikaru. Her walk had more of a joyous 'skip' to it than someone who was innocent would have had. This instantly put the awaiting people in suspicion. If her glee wasn't obvious moments before, it was now.

Practically dancing, she chortled, grinning wildly, "Oh, I'm having so much fun! So much fun! So so so so so much fun!" her chortle was definitely on the evil side. She danced in circles, saying, "Oh oh oh oh!! So so so! Amused! Ah, I need a break..." she paused in her dancing to catch her breath back.

Kyoya, the oh so calm and cool Shadow King, asked her, "I assume you did something devious to Tamaki and Haruhi."

Her insane laughter began again. "Yes! Yes I did! Yes! I did I did! Oh, I did!" And you have yet to know the extent of what she did.

Indeed, the fun hadn't ended with a simple hit over the head. And indeed things were heating up dramatically and intensely. And it had all started with a small hit over the head. In fact, the fun had just begun. Upon hitting Tamaki over the head as hard as she could, Haruka made him dizzy and disoriented, causing him to stumble about like an idiot.

And upon the stumbling about he hit the wall.

And upon hitting the wall he hit one of her 'secret buttons'.

And upon hitting the button two trap doors opened.

And upon the trap doors opening two unsuspecting people fell into her menacing trap.

Ah, the irony. Her trap sucked people in and also dropped them through trap doors.

Oh the absolute glee things such as trap doors, false bottoms, secret passageways, hidden stairways and booby traps gave Haruka. She loved to use them for her match making gigs, but she also liked to use them for just flat out pranks. Maybe one of these days she would drop Kyoya down one... but that was not the issue at the moment.

But it seemed that her joy in the matter was adding to the suspicion of certain people; primarily those who were left out of the 'game' loop. Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. Oh yes, left out they were. Kyoya, Hunny and Mori all knew full and well of her hire on as match maker. The twins were players of the game, and would not be fully informed until a later date.

They were eying her at the moment making her feel.. almost guilty. "What?" she demanded, hands on her hips.

"What did you do to..."

"Milord and Haruhi?"

Haruka hated when they did that. Especially because she didn't know who was who. It drove her bonkers. "Why do you wanna know?" she retorted back.

"We're worried about Haruhi and Milord!" they said simultaneously.

She was going to murder them and not regret it. "You don't need to worry about Milord and Haruhi!" she taunted back. "They're fine."

"For some reason I doubt that..." Kyoya muttered.

Haruka's temper flared, but she hid it with a sweet (a too sweet) smile. "Why would you say that, Kyoya?"

He returned her smile, but it wasn't a very nice one. More of a 'I know I hired you, but I didn't want you to kill/harm them in any way' sort of smile. "It seems that you have dropped them into the basement somehow. In a very small, confined space."

Haruka made a 'harrumph' noise and said, "You only know that because..." she stopped, thinking better of the reply, and rephrased. "I mean, they aren't hurt! They're just..." she could not resist a wolfish grin here, "... in an, you might say, uncomfortable position."

OoO

Indeed, without comfort was what Tamaki and Haruhi were experiencing at that exact moment. And Haruhi wasn't quite sure how they had gotten into the position exactly. And the space they found themselves in was very, very small. If it was any smaller... well, it couldn't get much smaller.

It was also very dark. But Haruhi could tell vaguely her position. She was sitting on top of someone (Tamaki, she assumed), straddling the person's hips. Her hands were pressed against a wall in front of her, on either side of Tamaki's (she assumed) head. Her back was a mere few inches from the ceiling and her front was a few mere inches from Tamaki's chest. It was a complete invasion of space.

Tamaki's position was not making it any better. His legs were were bunched up against her rear end and his arms were squeezed in between her body and his body. His face was so close she could feel his breath.

She didn't dare move for fear of putting them in an even more difficult position. How had they ended up like this? All she remembered was falling down a hole in the floor. Haruka's doing, no doubt.

"Mmrmph..." the strange noise came out of Tamaki's mouth and she felt his muscles tense.

"Ack! Don't move!" she whispered. Even whispering sounded loud in this confined space.

"W-Where are we??" he demanded, a little (a lot) louder than a whisper.

Haruhi winced. "Don't talk so loud." she replied. "I'm not sure where we are. And I'm not sure how we got here. But don't move, and don't talk loudly... it hurts my ears!"

She felt him nod slightly.

For some reason she was having flash backs of the horror fest, when she and Hikaru had gotten caught in a net. Now that was a compromising position. But this was no net and there would be no easy way out. Either they would wait for someone to discover them or she would have to find some way out.

She decided on the latter. It was hot in this box that they were in and she wanted out. "Don't move, Tamaki." she told him. "I'm going to try and find a latch or something..." they had gotten in, so there must be a way out...

OoO

"I am not telling you where I put them!" Haruka yelled.

"I demand that you do!"

"And I refuse your demand!"

Haruka was in a heated argument with one of the twins; which one, she didn't know. She didn't care. She was the match maker here, not this idiotic oaf! He needed to back off!

"Where are they??" he snapped.

"None of your business, jerk!" she would have flipped him off if her employer were not in the room (hallway).

"It is so my business!"

"What makes it your business?!?"

"They're my friends!"

"So friggin what?"

No reply.

Ha! She had him. There was no reply coming from his mouth. She did a happy dance in her head. But then remembered. Oh yeah. The box she had put them in only had a very limited amount of air and you could only open the door from the outside... That would pose a problem. She sighed, defeated. "Fine. I shall take you to them." she glared at the twin. "But not cus I want to!!"

OoO

There was no latch. There was no secret button. There was no way out! She was stuck in a tiny box with Tamaki with no hope of escape. It was getting a little hard to breath and was getting harder to keep Tamaki still. He said that his legs were cramping up. She could understand this; her neck was cramping up as well.

There was no room to stretch so they had to just endure the pain.

There was no room for escape...

OoO

Tamaki was not uncomfortable. He often hugged people very close and tight and this seemed like not difference to him. Even though he was pained slightly... his legs were badly cramping and there was no room for him to stretch.

In fact, he really liked being this close to Haruhi. His dear daughter hardly ever allowed him to hug her for very long. He liked the way she smelled when he hugged her and every breath he took in that moment was taken through his nose.

Yummy!

He also felt a pain in his lower vicinity... hmm. Now what could that be about...?
