Turns out I have some sort of gift because I haven't read the manga, sadly, and I put that Mitsuzu has a daughter... x files music blaring loudly to fit my mood.
So yeah, that's quite weird but bound to happen sooner or later that I accidently hit something that is real. I don't know whether or not I'm going to stick to her character like the manga does her but I have defiantly changed some ideas to fit around her...I'm just explaining cause I don't want those of you who are fans of the manga as well reading what I'm going to do with her and... I dunno being put off by it. I'd rather tell you about my psychic ability.
So anyway thank you for those of you who have reviewed and are helping me get to my dream =)
I'm glad you liked that last chapter because I wasn't sure about it but I'm even less sure about this one so please let me know what you think.
Important.
Kaoru speaks in italics "hello"... unless I've missed it. Twins in unison is bold "hello" thoughts and voicemail are in quote marks and italics. 'I'm thinking' 'I'm a voicemail'... so yeah.
Early morning with the host club
"Why haven't they called back? Neither of them, that's weird." Hikaru was sat in Honey's sitting room with the other hosts waiting for the phones to ring. Tamaki picked up his phone and called Kyoya's business phone, if he wouldn't answer his other one he would answer this. 'Hello, this is Kyoya Ootori. I'm very sorry to say that I can't take your call right now but if you leave me your name, details and a message I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.' "Kyoya, call me."
"Hey which number did you call boss?" "Business phone, why?" Kaoru groaned, "That's the one I've been calling." "What? Why?" Kaoru had the good grace to look sheepish before explaining. "Well, a while ago Hikaru and I were annoyed at Kyoya senpai so we... prank called him... constantly, all night. So he blocked our numbers. But he didn't block us on his business phone."
Tamaki looked like he was going to disintegrate into nothingness by the end of Kaoru's mumbled confession. "S-so Mummy hasn't heard about this... because of... YOU!"
"Well if you had rung him yourself boss it might not have been an issue." "I did ring him." "Yeah, on the wrong phone." Hikaru decided to chip in... No matter what the occasion; there really was nothing quite like baiting their 'great' leader.
Tamaki started whimpering and the puppy eyes came out in full force. "Well I didn't know. Why hasn't mummy told me that he doesn't let you shady twins call him anymore." "HEY, who are you calling shady?" and it was with that yell in complete unison that the latest fight began.
"Tama-Chan's cheering up isn't he Takashi?" "Uh" "Maybe I should pay Kyo-Chan a visit, what do you think?" "Yeah."
Honey grinned as he finished his tea; he knew Takashi would look after the others. He was still worried for Haruhi but... somehow he knew that she was ok and that Kyoya probably knew something about her.
He arrived very quickly at the Ootori manor, but delayed his entry. If Kyoya didn't know anything would it really be a good idea to worry him? Honey may seem young at heart but that didn't make him blind or stupid. He could see what the younger boy felt for the girl but he also knew that until a few days ago he had no plans of ever following through with how he felt. Haruhi changed the rules of the game. 'I just want everyone to be happy. Haruhi to be safe and Kyoya needs her so much more than the others do. I really hope she's here, I don't know where else to look.'
The maids let him into the foyer before informing him that the master and his guest hadn't risen yet. "Guest?" One maid with soft, red hair nodded. "Yes sir, a young girl sir. But I'm afraid I'm not sure of her name." Relief coursed through Honey at hearing that. It had to be Haruhi, it just had to be. "Will you please go and tell the girl I'm here. If it's who I think it is she 'll want to see me."
Honey waited patiently for her to come back but after five minutes and no sign of her he took matters into his own hands. He made his way up the stairs towards Kyoya's room when he saw the maid from earlier dashing off from the direction of one of the many guest bedrooms. He ran after her down the corridor quietly calling after her. He caught up with her when she stumbled; he held out his hand to her and asked what was wrong. She looked terrified as she explained she had interrupted the master and his guest in an important discussion. "Were they in that room?" She nodded so he turned and set off in the direction they had just come from.
Back with the other hosts.
"Hey, hey." Tamaki was panting slightly as he looked around the room. "Where's Honey senpai?" The twins ceased in their charge to look around the room but sure enough, their diminutive senpai was nowhere to be seen. "Well he can't have gotten far." Kaoru reasoned "Mori senpai is still here after all." Mori turned to look at the panting boys, should he tell them... they would probably interfere if he did so what should he tell them? "He's gone." Hikaru mock gasped at him "Huh, he speaks, speak again bright angel." "Hikaru, give it up. Where did he go Mori?"
Mori looked at the blonde boy and sighed. He had a feeling, deep in his gut that he shouldn't tell him where Honey had gotten too. He wasn't going to get their hopes up for nothing. Besides, if Haruhi is with Kyoya it would be better if they didn't descend on them like a swarm of locusts. So with that in mind he said the only thing he could say, something fitting and non suspicious, something no-one could argue with...
"Out."
Back with Honey
He peered into the room that the maid had fled from, he wasn't scared just... cautious. Pure terror is not something you forget easily and that is what the maid had been suffering from. What could be on the other side of the door? He gripped Usa- Chan to him... in case he was scared.
He couldn't see anything from his angle but he could hear muffled conversations so he ducked low to the ground and shuffled into the room caterpillar style. Now he could see Kyoya sinking into the couch with a look of despair on his face whilst Haruhi nervously paced with her phone pressed to her face. She brought it down and turned, Honey held his breath as he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket... luckily it stopped as soon as it started and neither of the other occupants seemed to have heard the vibrations. Haruhi slipped the phone into her pocket and looked at the boy on the couch with tender eyes. Honey fought to 'Awwwwwwwww' at her but he did have to roll like a mad man to get out of the way as she walked straight past him, he was sure she had seen him but she walked straight past him to Kyoya.
He really did have to bite on his lip to stop the squealing as she ducked her cute head under Kyoya's arm and laid it delicately on his chest, her arm ran across his chest to meet the other behind his back as she pulled herself closer to him. Kyoya's own arms embraced her tightly as he kissed her head. Honey felt like he should leave, he shouldn't be seeing this... cute as it was, this was an invasion of both their privacy and they both meant too much to him for Honey to feel comfortable doing that to them.
As he did the stealthy caterpillar out the door he found himself being pulled back by their hushed conversation.
"What are we going to do?" Honey fought with himself, he should leave, leave... get out "We will talk to them on Monday." He glanced back and saw that Kyoya's face was still pressed to Haruhi's hair.
Have you ever put mentos in coke and shaken it? The pressure builds and the coke explodes everywhere. Haruhi and Kyoya were acting like the mentos to Honey's coke, he literally couldn't take anymore. Without even thinking about it he shot up and effectively announced his presence to the world. "Awww! that is so cute Kyo-Chan."
"Honey senpai?" The look of shock on both teens' faces as they jumped apart was something that Honey promised himself to remember when he was old. It was brilliant but he really, really couldn't let himself laugh. 'Act as surprised as they are, you saw nothing except that. You can do this.'
"Yep and Usa-Chan." He held up the rabbit as if to prove that Usa was there too "So what will you be telling us, but I think I can guess." He couldn't help the knowing look that slipped with ease onto his childish features. "W-what do you mean senpai." Now he could let out the 'awwwwww' he had been saving up... was it dangerous to your health to hold in an 'awwwww'? He made a mental note to find out. "Awwwwww, you're so cute Haruhi Chan. You and Kyoya are together now aren't you?" Haruhi made a noise not dissimilar to choking whilst Kyoya sat quite silent and still. Honey wondered if it was the silence of agreement... in actual fact Kyoya was going in to shock from having his careful planning thwarted not once but twice in the same day.
"We are not. I mean we ar- um. What are you doing here senpai?" Honey frowned at the garbled answer, was Haruhi ashamed of their love? Poor Kyoya.
'Poor Kyoya' was slapped from his shock by that same answer. Nothing cures shock quite like your girlfriend saying you aren't together to your friend. "Well we went to see you yesterday and we saw your home Haru-Chan. We were really worried; please don't do that to us again ok. We couldn't get in touch with either of you so I came here to see if Kyoya knew where you were... guess he did." Haruhi laughed nervously while Kyoya looked at her from the corner of his eye. He wasn't about to let her get away with that, Honey was as good a place to start as any and, with the smaller host on their side, it might be easier to convince the others that this was a good thing. Kyoya reached across and pulled the startled Haruhi back to her previous position against his chest.
"Kyoya what are you-" he cut her off with an effective glare before turning to Honey. "You're right senpai, Haruhi and I talked and we decided that we wanted to be together. It feels right, you know." Honey nodded in agreement whilst Haruhi's jaw hit the floor. 'There was no talking, you told me I had to go out with you... and since when do you ever use phrases like 'it feels right'... damn, sneaky, manipulative, rich bastards.' Kyoya wasn't finished there though. "We would like it if you didn't tell anyone else. We are going to talk to the others on Monday so if you could keep quiet about it till then please." "Of course! I'll go now. I'm glad you're safe Haru Chan. Congratulations you two."
Honey couldn't keep the grin off his face from the adorable couple. They looked like they'd been together for years not days. He just hoped the others would see the happiness in Haruhi's eyes and be happy for them.
Back with Kyoya and Haruhi
"Kyoya what were you thinking telling him like that." Kyoya rounded on her sharply with a cold glare. "What was I thinking? What were you thinking? How could you tell him that we weren't together, did yesterday mean nothing to you?" Haruhi was stumped, did that really bother him so much? "I just didn't think it was appropriate to tell him about us like that." "Really?" Kyoya stood up and walked to the door. "You don't want people to know about us fine, maybe there won't be an 'us' to tell people about." "Oh my God Kyoya quit overreacting! I panicked, he asked a difficult question and I didn't see you telling him we were together either. He knows now anyway so what exactly is the problem?" He turned to face her slowly, light glinting off his glasses in an almost supernatural way.
"The problem, Haruhi, is that I never... you are... your mine, I am not going to hide that from anyone. You don't understand, I can't-"He broke off and looked at her imploringly. Begging her with his eyes to understand what he couldn't say. He never got what he wanted; he had to fight for everything. He had long since resigned himself to the eventuality that she would go with Tamaki. He had decided to be no more to her than the book keeper, the puppet master, behind the scenes. Then she had given him new hope, she kissed him, she held him. He had been so happy before... not happy, content. Now he couldn't stand the thought of their friends going near her unless they knew that she was his. He couldn't stand her not being as happy as he was about it, he was willing to risk his friendships and his reputation for her and she didn't seem willing to do that for him. Maybe he was over thinking it but he couldn't help it, he was a product of his breeding.
Just as Haruhi was a product of hers. "I'm yours? I am not a possession Kyoya, not a thing to be had. And if that is how you see me maybe your right, maybe there isn't an 'us' to talk about. Jesus, we have been together a day and look at us! I do not need this today of all days Kyoya, I don't want to split up over something as stupid as this but I will not be made miserable because of you. You're my friend; I don't want to lose that."
Kyoya looked guilty and confused but more than anything there was a deep rooted sense of panic. Was she going to break up with him? What did she mean today of all days? He fought to calm himself down so he could calm her down. This was not how he wanted things to be, not how he planned. But where this girl was concerned things never seemed to go as planned. "Haruhi, I'm sorry." She looked at him; there was nothing behind her gaze, no hidden agenda just... looking. "Thank you Kyoya. I'm sorry too; I'm not trying to hide it I promise." He nodded, before she continued. "I'm going to go see my dad; do you know where his room is?"
Kyoya glanced at his watch "Haruhi its past ten, don't you think your dad may be up." She looked at him sadly for a moment before the look disappeared from her face. She didn't say another word; she just shook her head and walked out past him, heading in the direction of the circular room. Kyoya followed closely behind her, he couldn't understand her sudden mood swing. She knocked on his brother's door and waited patiently. "Why have you come here Haruhi? What's wrong?"
He was met with silence and it frightened him. Had she decided that she didn't forgive him? What was going on? His mind flickered with information he had gathered on her over the months, trying to find anything that could explain this behaviour. He could only come up with one thing, her mother. The anniversary of her death was coming up, Tuesday if he wasn't mistaken, so why was she so low today. His files indicated that on the anniversary she took a day off school but there was no mention of strange behaviour before hand, then again this was the weekend, the school wouldn't have records of odd behaviour if the date always landed in the beginning of the week.
The door opened to reveal a shirtless Akito, dripping wet with only a small towel covering his... modesty. He looked at Kyoya's dark expression and then to the small girl who was biting her lip nervously. "Have you seen my dad?"... Sarcasm, real answer, sarcasm, real answer...
"Yes, he's just in there actually. Is this important? Mr. Fujioka's waiting for me to scrub his back... I have a loofa." Clearly he had chosen well, she went from biting her lip rather viciously to laughing her head off in seconds. Kyoya looked startled by her outburst but took it in his stride placing a reassuring, possessive, hand on her shoulder. As she straightened up she knocked his hand off only to grip it firmly in her own. Akito had to bite back the laughter that wanted to come at the look on his little brother's face, a wonderful mix of shock and pride. "S-so you haven't seen him then?" "Not recently, is he in his room?" "Where is that?" Akito shot Kyoya a look, why hadn't he told her where her dad was? "Down the hall, three doors on your left leads to a corridor and it's the third door from the bottom on the right."
"Thank you." She set off walking but Kyoya stayed back. If she needed to see her dad this badly it probably want something he should intrude on. "So little brother, why didn't you tell her where Mr. Fujioka was?" "I didn't not tell her, she didn't give me chance." Akito held the door wider for him and gestured that he wanted Kyoya to come in. Kyoya took a seat on the closest couch whilst Akito went and got changed.
"Trouble in paradise already?" Kyoya's head snapped round to look at his brother who was buttoning up his shirt, looking at Kyoya over the lenses of his glasses. "I don't know what you mean." Akito didn't hold back his laughter this time, it was far too easy to fluster the younger boy nowadays and it was so much fun. "Really? Because the whole west wing heard the shouting a moment or two ago." Kyoya bristled under his brother's gaze, what did Akito want him to say? "And I thought you would have been extra nice to her today, all things considered." Kyoya looked at Akito sharply; did he know something that Kyoya didn't? Well he must, but what? "All of what considered."
Akito ran his steely eyes up and down his younger brother, as if looking for a sign that he knew more than he was letting on. 'Perhaps the girl hasn't told him yet, interesting.'
"Well if you don't know I'm not sure I want to tell you. Kyoya, you clearly like this girl, a lot. In fact I would go as far as to say you love her and you always have and do you want to know how I know?" "Enlighten me." "I know because I loved a girl like that once too. Yes you may well look surprised but contrary to your belief I am not all work. I fell in love with a common girl and I would have done anything for her but when it came to it I didn't. I didn't stand up for myself and for her, for what we had when father held the companies over my head. That is why I didn't want you to compete against our brother for the title of heir, not because I didn't think you were competent or that the natural order shouldn't be challenged but because I lost everything when I did the exact same thing."
Kyoya stared at his brother in shock, never before had he been so candid about his feelings about... anything. Kyoya's brain was whirring under the sudden strain that the onslaught of information created in him. He had always known Akito hadn't wanted him to fight for the highest rank but he had always assumed, as his brother had said, that he didn't want the natural order challenging. If Kyoya got top slot their elder brother would get second and Akito would be shoved to the bottom of the pile. But now, Kyoya's entire belief system based around his brother was being shattered and once again the upheaval was thanks to Haruhi Fujioka.
"Father has changed so much since then, he is a lot more... open minded... but only about some things, he has only just started to accept commoners please do not try and push him with... sexuality for example because I think the shock would kill him." Akito laughed lightly before pushing his own glasses up his face. "Kyoya, you have always and will always be a closed off person, it is part of being an Ootori, it's who you are, it is in your blood. These intense feelings won't go away because you will them to. That little explosion back there proves it. You have always been very... just very. Whatever you do you have been very. You are never a little happy or sad, you either ecstatic or suicidal... well not quite that far but you understand my point. Haruhi is one of the most intelligent, passionate girls I have ever met. From only knowing her one day I can tell you are a perfect match, oil and water, fire and ice. These may not sound like good combinations but imagine the bland relationship water has with water... I have extended that metaphor far too long, back to the original point, you play off each other, or rather you should. But that means you need to understand when something is upsetting her, causing her distress to the point she blathers out some crap about you being not together but you are to your friends. Youneed to put your jealousy aside and understand that maybe she doesn't have feelings for the other person: but rather she is upset because today is her mother's birthday."
Kyoya felt as if someone had shoved an ice pick into his skull. His brother was hitting nerves left, right and centre but the one that stung the most was the last. Her mother's birthday, why hadn't she told him? Why hadn't he known? "Don't blame yourself, she was going to tell you yesterday but she got too caught up in talking with me. That's why she reacted so badly to having her house destroyed... although I think she probably still wouldn't have liked it that much anyway. Her father always takes it badly on the actual day which is why she needed to find him, to make sure he was ok. Then they both take the day off on the actual anniversary to clean up her grave and reminisce, her dad thinks it's important so her memories don't disappear."
Kyoya felt terrible, Haruhi was suffering and he'd let her down. He should have known. He should have researched her better; he should have- "Oh and before you mentally beat yourself to a pulp, you couldn't have known because she didn't tell you, and while I remember Kyoya it is creepy having a file on your girlfriend. It isn't cute, it's creepy. So, what are you waiting for? Go see her for god's sake man."
Kyoya shakily stood up and moved to the door, he was on auto pilot. His brain was buzzing, Akito held the door open for him as he stumbled through. Akito grinned, his job had been done, he had helped Kyoya out. Not that he would listen to him, Akito was well aware of his brother's temperament, he would get jealous and she would snap back. The door shut with a click, Haruhi was so much like her and Kyoya reminded Akito of himself. Maybe he should look for her... no, he blew his chance when he told her that he didn't want her anymore, the biggest lie he had ever told in his life. There wasn't a day that went by that he didn't think about her, yearn for her. But there was no way he could go to her, not after what she said and what he said to her.
"This isn't about you wanting to be with me, this is about your father. Why do you let him bully you Akito? You are worth so much more than this so why don't you fight back?"
"You're wrong, I don't want you, and I don't think I ever did. Leave my father out of it, you're a commoner what would you know?"
She looked like he slapped her; her eyes welled up as she looked at him. "I know the difference between right and wrong! I may be common but I'm not stupid, you asked me to marry you and now you decide you don't even want me. I know you Akito; I know you don't do anything without thinking it through. Look at me, I am fighting for us but I'm fighting you, that's not right! I love you."
He looked away; he didn't want to hear that, he wanted her to hate him. "You are nothing to me but fun. That is it, no more or less. It was never meant to last forever just until I got bored. My father takes my future far more seriously than I have and he has pointed out to me how foolishly I have behaved. He thinks I am a serious contender for his companies and he doesn't want his name besmirched by this thing between us."
"This thing is love! I should have known that you would drop me for the companies but I had hoped... Don't give this up Akito, please. You could so easily set up your own company. You are brilliant, I love you, please don't do this." He tilted his head so she couldn't see his eyes, couldn't see the tears. No-one had ever said that to him before. No-one cared enough but he had to do this, maybe after he was made heir he could get back in touch.
"Tell me you don't love me Akito, tell me and I'll go." He looked at her, his beautiful girl. She walked up to him and kissed him with everything she had and God help him he kissed back. He wrapped his arms round her waist and pulled her as close as he could and it still wasn't close enough. She pulled away and rested her forehead against his. "I don't love you. Please remove yourself from my person." "No." "Yes, leave. I don't love you, I never did." "Do you want me to hate you, is that what you want." No that isn't what he wants, he wants her, but what use is he if he can't support her financially. "I don't care how you feel about me, leave my property now."
She tensed up and stepped away, she grabbed her bag from the floor and stared at him. "Fine, I'll go. But know this, I will never forget you and I will never forgive you. I gave up so much to be with you, my home,lied to my family and you have given me nothing but pain. If you want me to hate you then congratulations. You have your wish." No. "I never want to see you again Akito." No please, please understand. "I hate you." No.
Akito could feel his heart breaking as he looked at her steely countenance. He wanted to grab her and hold her and tell her he was sorry but he couldn't. "I hate what you've done to me and I hate you Akito."
She left then, he faded away, doing nothing but his work. No more, no less. Three weeks later his father had told him he would never be the heir. Three weeks later his heart broke all over again when he realised that it had all been for nothing. His father had told him to get rid of her and he did and now it was all for nothing. He had been to her flat but it had been sold, her number had changed. He was all alone and he loved her so much.
Akito snapped out of the painful memories and turned his laptop on. His heart still clenched at the thought of her, still he loved her more than anything. He powered through the pain to finish the spreadsheet that the office needed for the next day.
Back with Kyoya
He walked along the winding corridors to find her; he needed to get to her. Just when he thought she would stop surprising him she hit him from a completely different side. He kept his head down as he walked, he didn't need to see to know where to go. However because of that he didn't see the brunette walking the other way in a similar head down manner until they collided.
He gripped her so she wouldn't hurt herself on the floor. The impact sent his glasses flying across the hall as the breath left their collective bodies. Pain, white hot, unadulterated pain. "Ooooooow!" "W-what are you owing at? I'm the one who got landed on." "Sorry Kyoya." He held her to him when she tried to stand. "Haruhi, it's ok. I know." Her brown eyes found his dove grey ones, they communicated silently as the seconds flew by in silence. Soon enough her eyes filled up and a whimper tore its way from her throat. She buried her head in his neck as the sobs racked through her body. "It's ok, it all right Haruhi. I'm here for you." She clenched his shirt between her shaking fists.
Eventually when she calmed down he walked her back to her room and they sat together. This time hebrushed her hair out and muttered reassuring words. It was all he could do and it was all she needed.
Ranka was talking with Yoshio when Haruhi had gotten there; he hadn't needed her like he usually did and whilst she was glad that her dad hadn't locked himself away that had meant she couldn't distract herself like she usually did. She hadn't realised how hard it would hit her if she didn't have her dad to look after. Kyoya helped though, having him there, having him close was better for her than pretending today wasn't what was.
Back with the hosts
"This is terrible, first Haruhi and Kyoya go missing now Honey's gone too!" Tamiki had resorted to wailing. Mori sat looking at the other boys who were now tearing around the room in search of Honey instead of trying to kill each other... the most ridiculous thing he had seen yet was Tamaki looking under a settee pillow and then Hikaru re-checking to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Sure, honey was small but still, there is a limit to feasible hiding places once you look under things.
Maybe it would have been better to just have told them... no because then they would have gone after him and it would have been more hassle than it was worth. Honey hadn't called and his Honey senses weren't tingling so he must be fine.
Speak of the devil and he will come, skipping and eating cake. "Hi guys, this cake is great. We should get some for club." "Honey senpai! Where were you? We were so worried." Tamaki and the twins dashed over to him. "Oh, I was just out guys. Sorry I worried you, to make up for it I'll tell you a secret."
All the boys leaned in with baited breath, waiting for the secret. Honey's face became intense as he too leaned forward, his little mouth pouting under the strain of keeping them in suspense.
"Well what is it?" Kaoru whispered, Hikaru nodded in agreement and Tamaki let out the most bizarre little squeaking noise anyone had ever heard. It was so bizarre in fact that everyone stopped their anticipating and looked at him... just looked at him. His blonde head hung in shame as the others fought not to laugh. Feeling the mood had been ruined and there was no point in trying to recreate it Honey just blurted it out.
"I have seen Haruhi, she's fine. She's with Kyo-Chan." The heads slowly rotated from the now, gaping, Tamaki to the ever grinning Honey.
"H-H-Haruhi is with Kyooooooya?" Tamaki's jaw was trembling and his eyes were watering. "Why wouldn't Mummy tell Daddy where our little girl was?" Honey patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "Because they have been busy. They didn't know we were going to visit Tama-Chan. We should leave them be." Hikaru spoke out next looking furious. "Why should we? Why would Haruhi lie to me? She said she was with a friend!" at the confused looks he explained that he had received her voicemail. This sent Tamaki into further hysterics, "Why didn't she call me?" "Have you checked your phone?" "No." "Well how do you know she hasn't?"
Hikaru sighed, the distraction more commonly known as Tamaki had managed to lead everyone away from his question but he was determined to get an answer. "Why would she say she was with a friend?" "Because she is silly. Haruhi and Kyoya like each other very much."
Upon hearing this two hosts felt their stomachs clench in fear. One paternally, he didn't want his little girl being led astray by anyone, even his best friend... The other felt the white hot poker of jealousy moving around his body. Haruhi shouldn't like Kyoya, she shouldn't need anyone else. Could they trust Kyoya not to take advantage of her? Would he do any different if he was in Kyoya's shoes.
Hikaru pulled away from the group who were still clamouring for answers Honey probably didn't have. He valued Haruhi's friendship and Kyoya wasn't as bad as he made him out to be but that didn't mean Hikaru trusted him with Haruhi. Haruhi was special, she wasn't like any other girl that Hikaru had met, she could tell them apart, with ease. If she went off with another man it would hurt but if she went with another host... He couldn't imagine seeing her every day knowing how inaccessible she was. If Kyoya went after her he wouldn't ever let her go. Hikaru wouldn't if it was him. His thoughts turned to his brother, Kaoru. Kaoru liked Haruhi, Hikaru knew his brother well enough to know that, would it be fair to him if Hikaru went after her? They couldn't share Haruhi like they shared their food and their bed. She wasn't an object to be had; she was a girl to be treasured.
If he was going to find it hard giving her up to another host he couldn't imagine having to give her up to his brother. Maybe it would be better if Kyoya did just take her; you can't miss what you never had...
Then again he might be getting ahead of himself. Honey didn't say they were in love with each other. All he said was that they like each other very much, meaning until further notice she was still fair game. He grinned at Kaoru, who had turned to look at him when he moved away, they hadn't lost her yet and even if they had they still had gained a wonderful new friend. Their world was getting bigger every day.
It was with that happier thought that he bounced back over to his brother and his friends.
"All I'm saying is that Daddies need to know these things. My daughter can't be with just anyone you know she has to be with..." "You?" Hikaru raised his eyebrow. "Well, maybe, it does make sense." "How does it make sense boss? You're her father aren't you?" Kaoru leant against Hikaru looking at Tamaki with suspicious eyes. "Yeah boss, aren't you meant to be her daddy... that's incest." Tamaki spluttered at that, he had never thought of that. Daddies couldn't marry their daughters could they...? "Hang on look who's talking!" "Uh, have we ever said we go through with anything?" "Yeah, what we do is only implied." "Yeah, heavily, but it's still only implied." And now the finishing blow, in complete unison, "You're a pervert!"

There you go... epically sized chapter... 11 pages on word! Haha becomes nothing on fanfic though. Every time I put on like four, five etc pages it becomes pathetic...
Thank you so much for all your reviews and adding me to lists. Please keep the reviews coming, I love hearing from you =D
I'm hoping to get started on chapter 12 as soon as.
Typos magically appear after I check it, my beta reader checks it and I check it again... I don't know how they get in but they do!
Love you guys =D
So yeah, please keep the reviews coming and I'll try and keep the chapters coming =) and the usual applies if you want me to reply to your review or ask a question feel free to review it or message me... even if you just want a chat.
I'm up for chats any time, I love talking to people who like this pairing as much as I do or have just found this pairing or general opinions... or random crap like how your life is going... I'm not even kidding you, any of my friends would tell you, I don't mind being an agony aunt to you guys.
So anyway, I don't mind if you have questions etc, I know I sometimes read fics and think 'I don't get this bit at all.' But don't want to ask... don't feel like that with me. I say if you're asking me questions you like my fic enough to care and I need to start writing more clearly. =)
So onto the chatting =)
Eophan- Thank you so much for your help sweetie =) and your fic is brilliant by the way (I completely recommend it to anyone... shameless plug for someone else's fic =P) I had just gotten off from updating mine when I saw yours and was bouncing off the walls =) I am so glad you thought they were in character last chapter because I was majorly worried... but when am I not majorly worried. I always worry when I'm writing Tamaki that I'm coming across as a basher and I'm completely not. I love Tamaki I just like writing how much the others like winding him up, if you get me. I am now thoroughly convinced I have a supernatural gift with the daughter thing but there you go. I really hope this chapter doesn't disappoint you. Let me know what you think hunni, I'll be glad to hear from you.
Kouga's older woman- Glad you liked it, hope you like this one too, let me know =)
Lolcari- I know right, poor maid. I'm almost considering making her as much of a running thing as the bear but I don't know how much more her poor nerves can take, once might have been enough. I hope this update doesn't disappoint you. Let me know what you think.
Obsessed dreamer- busted indeed. I can't wait to write the host clubs reactions... if only time would move quicker... oh wait I'm the writer I can just make time quicker mwahahaha feel the power... okay mental break over, I hope you liked this chapter sweetie =) let me know.
Aurora-16- Thank you for my cyber cheesecake, it got me through this mammoth of a chapter =) I will eventually get time to message you because I really want to... not sure if you got my ramble up there but I love chatting so I don't feel pressured it's just stupid real life getting in the way haha =) I have to admit I liked writing Haruhi taking a bit of control instead of just taking the back seat so there may be more of that in the future, let me know what you think =)
Fugu-Chan- a few chapters behind but better late than never ;) yeah I think he just doesn't know how to handle this side of himself so he does come across as a bit of a nutter... I really hope that hasn't put you off haha =) I was laughing writing it because I could just imagine the moment where Haruhi did it and then the moment where she realised what she had just done and who she had done it too... that moment of oh shit. =) so yeah, really hope you're still with us. Let me know what you think... unless you've gone in which case you don't have to at all haha =)
Shit Happens-333- I'm glad 10 was worth the wait I just hope 11 is too. I'm going to try and update again as soon as with 12 but I'll be honest I can feel the beginnings of writers block when I think of it... my mind goes fuzzy and the plot goes down the drain. So anyway let me know what you think =)
Sherlin- glad you like the story hun. In case you skipped it I didn't mean to write in the manga characters so I hope that doesn't put you off, I read about Mei and I might use her name but I kind of have my own plans for the character, we'll see, plans change and all that. Anyway let me know what you think about this chapter =)
Tahelovi- thank you for helping me with my dream, please continue to help =P haha I'm glad you're liking it and I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint.
o0Alyssa0o- I'm so glad you like it =) I hope I get the reviews too haha thank you. I hope you like this chapter, let me know =D
XHikaruXKaoruXLoverX- I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm glad you didn't think things were too far because I was worried about under or over playing it. What would an Ouran fic be without Usa Chan?;) I really hope you like this one, thank you for all your reviews. =) please let me know what you think of this one.
Simpleplan9913- I'm glad you liked it. I may use the not telling thing cause Honey hasn't told the others that they're together he's just said that they like each other... I dunno, we'll see how it comes, great idea though =) I don't know about a Haruhi/Hikaru fic because I'm not the biggest fan of the pairing, I don't hate it but if I had to pick a favourite kind of thing, I just don't want to do it injustice but, if I get time in the future, I will try to do at least a one shot for you. =) I really hope you like this chapter; let me know what you think. =)
Rue the Bluetard- Blarg to you too =P thanks for helping me with the dream =) hope you like the chapter
Kichou- I can see Honey being big brother-ish if he needs to be so I may use that =) hope you like this chapter, let me know =)
XxSoliexHiddenxX- I'm glad you thought it was cute, I was worried about going too cutesy or not enough if you get me. I really hope you like this chapter, I'm worried about it but I worry about every chapter... bit of a pattern there haha. Anyway please review and let me know what you think =)
Onehellofabutler 14- thank you so much =) I'm glad you like Kyoya because he is such a complex character and I don't want to mess him up... because he'll send someone after me... I'm glad you liked the dad's, I'm thinking about doing Dad time more often, not every chapter but repeatedly if you get me... I dunno anyway, review and let me know what you think xx
Ikuto 18- I'm so glad you like it. I'm glad you like the shout outs and stuff because I like doing them =) I hope you like this chapter and that it was worth the wait, you'll have to let me know. I hope I get my dream too =) let me know what you think
Right then, thats me done. Hope you liked it, please let me know in a review, I know I say it every chapter but your reviews are important to me. =) cya later guys
