jychan: Hello everyone! I missed you all! And here goes nothing! I don't own Ouran High School Host Club, but I do own Akiko! The Eleventh Chapter to the Sequel of Cappuccino, Iced Coffee, here goes nothing!


11. The Guilt of Kyouya



"Akiko-sama, we have arrived home already."

I nodded and went down the car when suddenly, I felt that the car had disappeared,

"Eh? Where's the car? What happened?"

I turned around to see that the car has really disappeared,

"Eh? What's happening?"

I turned around to see that the Mansion has disappeared,

"Wait. Where's my house? What's happening?"

I ran forward to where the Mansion was supposed to be. A mirror appeared in front of me and it reflected my reflection with my yellow uniform on. But wait. Why is this already a sailor fuku?

"I have taken away everything that the Namikawa Group owns. All properties and businesses that Namikawa Akira once owned, is now mine."

This person. The one who have taken away everything that I own,

"Yamazaki Akina..."

"Very good, Akiko-chan. It seems you know me already. And I will take away everything that you endearly cherish... Hahahaha..."

"NOOOOOO!!!!!"

I shouted as I panted,

"Akiko-chan?"

I turn to my right and saw Mayu-san,

"Akiko-san, it was just a dream, or rather, a nightmare."

Motoko-san, who was in my left, said as I nodded.

A bit later, Motoko-san and Mayu-san returned to sleep, I suppose I should get to sleep already.

But that nightmare. It seemed so real. It seemed so possible.

I braced myself as my pants ended.

I wish that it was just a nightmare. I wish it was only going to be a nightmare. I wish that it won't happen in real life. I wish that she would not take away everything that I cherish and love. She had taken much away from me, and I do not already know what to do. Especially with Otou-sama gone. How am I suppose to survive now?

Thankfully, though, I have lived, despite not being used to this kind of life. If she takes everything that I cherish, how am I suppose to live further? How can she be so evil? She's so evil that even in my dreams she continue to haunt me. What might have happened to her?

Surely, there must be something that might have happen that made her do something like this towards me and my family. Her former family. But it was her own fault that she had to be banished from the Namikawa Family. Surely, it must have been her fault.

I took my phone and called someone,

"Who are you?"

"Kyouya."

"Akiko. Naze?"

"I'm sorry for calling you at such a time."

"You shouldn't have called if you are sorry for it."

"I know. But then..."

Tears went out of my eyes,

"Why are you crying?"

"Y-You know?"

"Of course. I can hear you over the phone."

"I just had a nightmare."

"A nightmare?"

"Yes. A nightmare."

"You're already awake. So, why not go back to sleep? So I can go to sleep already."

"But then..."

I paused as I wiped my tears,

"...it seemed so real..."

I continued as I braced myself,

"But it's only a dream."

"I know, of course. But what if it happens?"

"There is a 'what if'."

"So? What if it happens? I'm scared, Kyouya. I'm scared."

I said as I continued on crying,

"This is the first time I've heard you being scared and also heard you crying."

"Well, of course it's the first time you've heard me crying, because I've never cried in front of people. Only Okaa-sama was able to see and hear me. Although, I must admit, I was scared when I thought that I can't change your mind."

I confessed as I hung my head,

"Look outside through your window."

"Eh? But why?"

I asked as I raised an eyebrow,

"Just do it."

I sighed as I stood up from my bed and looked at the outside through the window,

"I can see the sky. It's still dark."

"Good. Now you know how early you made me wake up. Now, look down."

I rolled my eyes on his second statement, but nonetheless, followed what he said,

"Eh? Kyouya?"

I recognized the person, standing and looking up towards me,

"Get down here."

I sighed, but followed him while I carefully went out, so that Mayu-san and Motoko-san won't wake up. I rushed down the stairs while I went outside the door.


Normal POV

Akiko went outside but unluckily, tripped because of a rock, luckily, Kyouya was able to catch her before she fell down flat on the surface,

"Akiko... It's OK now. Don't be scared anymore."

He said as he patted Akiko's back as Akiko continued crying,

"Kyouya... I was scared... No, until now. I'm still scared. I don't know what to do anymore. What if it comes true? I don't want that to happen. No. I don't want that to happen! She took away all of my belongings and all of my properties. She can't possibly take all the people that I endearingly hold and cherish. I don't want that to happen..."

Akiko said as she cried on Kyouya's chest,

"That won't happen. I assure you. That would never happen."

Kyouya said as Akiko stopped crying.

"Even if she takes away everyone, I'm still here."

Akiko looked up and snickered, which made the bespectacled lad raise an eyebrow,

"I never knew that you knew such cheesy lines, Kyouya. Tamaki might have brushed up on you."

"Ha. Very funny, Akiko."

Kyouya said as he narrowed his eyes on the girl,

"But still, thank you, Kyouya. Who knows what have might happen if I just cried and cried upstairs. Mayu-san and Motoko-san might have woken up or I might not be able to sleep as I think of what may happen."

Akiko said as she continued to clung on the Shadow King's chest,

"Matakun... And you still had to call me up. And here she says that she hates me..."

Kyouya muttered as Akiko pouted,

"Che. At least, you saw me cry. For the record, I only cried in front of Okaa-sama and her grave. You're the first person, aside from Okaa-sama, who has seen me cry. At least, you were able to see me cry."

"Too bad. I don't like it. I don't want to see you cry."

Kyouya whispered as he carried Akiko,

"Kyouya! Wait! Don't carry me!"

Akiko said as she was kicking her legs on the air,

"Geesh. I want to go back to sleep. So, I'll carry you back to the Private Resort, if it's the last thing I'll do to go back to sleep."

"I'm fine already. I'm fine. OK? I can go back now."

"Matakun... Don't lie already, Akiko. I know much about you. So, don't lie anymore. You're making me feel guilty."

"Guilty?"

"Yes. Guilty."

"Guilty for what?"

Kyouya shrugged at Akiko's question, when Akiko pushed the topic,

"Why are you going to be guilty? Answer me, Kyouya."

Akiko said as Kyouya never replied until he placed her down,

"You can go back now. It seems you're fine already. Being able to argue with me much. I'll go to sleep now. Ja, Akiko"

He said as he turned around,

"Chotto matte! Kyouya! Answer me! What's making you feel guilty?"

Akiko continued on shouting as Kyouya didn't bother to look back,

'I feel guilty for not telling you earlier that the Yamazaki Group was already planning to take over the Namikawa Group.'

Kyouya thought as he entered the Private Resort,

"I wonder what's bothering Kyouya... He seems to be occupied by something..."

Akiko mused as she went inside the Inn, where they were staying in.


jychan: And that was it! I updated very soon as possible. And this was the 'soonest' I can update. Oh my gosh. A revelation brought by Kyouya... Oh my gosh... What's going to happen now? Oh well... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for the reviews from: Katherine-The-Crowned, Serrina, SilentWitch, lovetoanime, bookfreak13 and freyasakura!

lovetoanime: Aki-san is not her father. Aki-san's just some person... More like an extra... Or who knows... But i'm telling you, Aki-san is not Akiko's father.

freyasakura: YOSHI! That's a big chocolate... With almonds, hazelnuts and etc... LOL... LellouchXCC? Hmmm.. My friends are the one who are addicted to this pairing... Hehehe... Cute? Really? Me too... I kinda wonder what Akiko-chan's ambition... I have no idea or whatsoever... No. Aki-san is not her father. RoyxRiza is kinda cool... And yes, I love EdXWinry... They're meant for each other... ^_^

Serrina: Yes. I must admit. Kyouya in this story never wanted to let go of Akiko... wow... And yes, Akiko has a hard time of admitting that she still likes him because of her PRIDE.... LOL... They broke up because, -refer to chapter 3- And yes, I wonder when they're going to be back... But then, they seem to be on a relationship, but there's no relationship anymore... You get it? LOL... Aki-san's just some person... And he's not Akiko's father. Ja neh, Serrina-chan!

bookfreak13: Arigato gozaimasu! Hehehe.... I was worried that some people might say they were too yucky or boring or whatsoever.. but i'm glad you found it cute..

SilentWitch: I can't. I can't. I can't. Aki-san's too old for Akiko... Aki-san might be around 40's or something... Yes. It seems Hikaru would fall in love with someone older than him... But I don't know... I can make a lot of twists... ^_^ I've updated already... So, here it is... Twists are kinda good, because it doesn't make the story boring or predictable... Hopefully, I can update the same as usual as when classes start...

Katherine-The-Crowned: AH yes. It really made her think and decide of what should she be in the future... But I might add some twist to the story... Who knows... ^_^
