Guess what! My mother's laptop broke, so very sorry for the now infrequent updates. School will be out soon, though so I'm happy.

Also, this is getting into the final stretch. You guys must hate me. :3


Tamaki nearly bust down the door to the room, a grin on his face.

"Haruhi! Daddy's here!" The blond twirled about, roses floating away from him. Honey grabbed Tamaki and shoved a hand over his mouth.

"Hush! Haruhi and Mori are still sleeping. You have to be quite, Tama-chan." The little blond slowly let go after the taller of the two nodded vigorously, understanding in his violet puppy eyes.

"Okay. I'll be quiet." He whispered as a vocal response, turning and peeking out the door, shushing anyone else. The twins shoved past him almost like wind would blow a tumbleweed along. Hikaru took a seat between the two beds while his brother leaned against a wall. Tamaki's eyes glanced around, scanning everything the twins did. Kyoya drifted in and closed the door behind him, as to keep the sound from escaping as best he could.

"So." Hikaru sat, looking around. "We're here. What's going down?" Tamaki shrugged.

"I don't even know. It was Honey who called me and asked for a meeting." Everyone looked to the loli boy. His childish eyes looked serious and very grown up.

"I'm going to go after him soon. He's been after all of you because of me, so I'm going to finish it." Kaoru looked at him slightly puzzled.

"Without us? You know, that's hardly fair."

"Kaoru, just leave him be. This is his fight, why get in the way?"

"You two, please don't start fighting again." The violet-eyed prince pleaded. "It wouldn't be good, especially for the ones sleeping yet."

"Tamaki, shut up, would you? I haven't even started to fight yet." Hikaru let out a small, near snarl. Tamaki frowned.

"There you go now. What do you think you're trying to pull with starting a fight every five seconds."

"Every five seconds? If we were ever together much longer, I'd probably be having troubles from strangling you! You're insufferable and such a do-gooder. I can't stand that!" Hikaru's voice rose slowly, escalating to a shout. The tension in the room had gone from none, to explosive in a matter of seconds. Tamaki moved closer to the angered twin, getting up in his face.

"You need to quiet down before you wake them." His voice was stern and calmed, smoothed over with a practiced touch. Suddenly Hikaru's fist smashed into the side of his face, snapping his head to the side.

"Don't tell me what to do." He growled. His brother shot to his side, trying to pull him back.

"No, stop, Hikaru!" Kaoru pleaded. "Don't start that here of all places." Tamaki stood, rubbing his swiftly swelling face.

"I have a right if it ensures peace in this room." His violet eyes were cool and stern, unyielding. Hikaru slammed him in the chin with another punch, throwing him off balance and causing him to land on the floor. The commotion was getting to the group. Kyoya had tugged Kaoru back while Honey stayed between the brawlers and the injured as best he could, pain and hurt of the emotional variety wavering in his young face.

"What are you guys doing?" A small voice spoke up, freezing them all in their places. Their eyes turned to Haruhi where she sat up slowly, eyes watering. "I asked what you are doing." She repeated after there was no answer. Hikaru turned his head down, hair shading his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Haruhi. I lost my temper." Hikaru mumbled. She turned, legs hanging of the edge of the bed. Slowly, she got down, holding on to it to keep herself from falling.

"Hikaru... You know you don't have to hurt your friends to let them know how you feel..." She said tentatively. Honey tried to gently turn her back to the bed.

"Haru-chan, please. You need to rest longer yet." The short blond pleaded, tears in his own eyes. She looked at him and nodded.

"Yeah... Just please don't fight anymore, guys." Haruhi spoke softly as she sat and then lay back down on her bed, wincing a little.

"I won't..." Hikaru promised quietly and Tamaki nodded.

"I'll be back. Going to run to the store quick." The rest nodded.

The tensions had been released explosively, and the group realized now, how stressful it was. They couldn't keep waiting.

The next day, Honey didn't visit the hospital with everyone else, and the sat silently, waiting for him to return to them.


What do you guys think? Worth a few more reviews? ;)
