I was in my bed in the fetal position, holding a pillow to my chest. Ever since Haruhi broke up with me I've felt empty, like I couldn't feel anymore. I've cried so much that I feel like I don't have any tears left in my body.

There was a small knock on the door and Kaoru walked into the room. He looked at me sadly.

"Hey Hikaru, it's been four days, do you think you're up to go to school?" I didn't reply to him and just held my pillow tighter. Kaoru sighed and walked over to my bed and sat down, putting his hand on my knee.

He looked down at me with sad eyes. "I know I said this a thousand times already, but I'm so sorry about what she did to you. Nobody deserves what happened to you. But you have to go back to school sooner or later or your grades will suffer." I remained silent as he continued. "I can request that we move far away from her, and if that doesn't work we can switch schools. I've already talked to mom about it and she's considering it."

I just hummed a reply and Kaoru sighed, patting my knee.

"Alright, I guess another day won't hurt." He got up and walked over to the door and stopped at it. He looked back at me. "I'll see you after school."

He then left without waiting for a reply, knowing I wouldn't have given him one.


Kaoru walked into the classroom and sat down at his desk in the back, trying his best to ignore Haruhi. Haruhi looked over at him as he was taking out his school supplies.

"Hey Kaoru..?" Kaoru didn't look over at her and she glared. "Kaoru?" He continued to ignore her and her voice got sterner. "Kaoru!"

Kaoru's eyebrow twitched and he looked over at her.

"What?!" He hissed.

Haruhi was surprised at his expression and tone, she gulped. "Um...ho-how's Hikaru?"

"Like you would care." He said, looking back towards the board.

"I do, he hasn't been to school in a couple days. I'm worried about him."

"How about you worry about your new boyfriend. It seems like you care about him way more."

Haruhi glared at him again. "Kaoru is this what this is about? I told you that I was sorry multiple times. I don't know what else to do."

Kaoru looked back at her with a dark glare. "No matter how many times you apologize it will never make up for what you did to him. He was so severely hurt from what you did to him that he's too depressed to even get out of bed! I'm so worried about him that I check on him every fifteen minutes because I'm afraid that he's going to do something to himself! My parents even requested the maids to look over him while I'm gone!"

Haruhi looked at him sadly. "Kaoru, I'm sorry I…"

"No, no you're not!" He hissed. "If you truly did care about him you wouldn't have used him like that! But you just had to because you're a fucking sadist!" He then stood up and grabbed his bag and supplies. "I can't do anymore."

"Kaoru wait…"

He glared harder at her. "Oh, and tell your "boyfriend" that we're no longer going to be in the Host Club and tell him also to never fucking talk to us again."

He then walked away, leaving a shell shocked Haruhi as he talked to the teacher and then sat down in an open seat in the front of the classroom.


Haruhi walked sullenly to the Host Club. She still was upset over what Kaoru had said to her. She sighed glumly and opened the door and entered the club room.

"Haruhi!"

She looked up as Tamaki run up to her and hugged her. He looked down at her lovingly.

"I know that I've said this multiple times for the past few days, but I'm so glad we can now publicly be a couple." His smile fell when he saw her expression. "Hey what's wrong?"

She sighed and looked down. "Kaoru finally talked to me after four days...it didn't go so well…"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Kaoru is angry that I used Hikaru for us to be together."

He smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't worry, they'll get over it in a couple days."

She looked up at him. "I don't think they will Tamaki. Kaoru told me how badly Hikaru is affected by all this. Then he said they quit the club."

"What?!" Tamaki screamed. "They quit the club?!"

Haruhi nodded sadly and Kyouya walked up to them.

"I had a feeling this was going to happen." Kyouya said as he pushed up his glasses. "I knew Hikaru would be depressed, but I didn't know he'd be affected this badly."

"He can't be that bad that they had to quit."

Kyouya glared at him. "He is so depressed that Kaoru is worried that he's going to hurt himself, or even worse kill himself. I've gotten so worried that I text Kaoru twice a day to see how he is."

"But it shouldn't affect him that badly, it was obvious that she was only using him to get to me."

Kyouya's glare hardened. "I can't believe I helped you guys get together. If I would've known this was going to get this bad I would've told Kaoru in the first place because he's the only one Hikaru listens to."

Kyouya grabbed his bag and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

He stopped and looked back over at him. "I'm going home and not coming back until you're no longer this insensitive asshole."

"You can't leave. What about the funding at the club? That's what we need you for."

"I'm sorry but the wellbeing of my friends are more important than funding this stupid club." He grabbed the handle of the door. "Also Honey and Mori senpai are not coming either, so I suggest you two leave."

He then left the club room, leaving Haruhi and Tamaki in the club room. Tamaki huffed and looked back over at Haruhi.

He smiled at her. "Well we're alone, so we can have some fun."

Haruhi glared at him and pushed him away. "I'm going home, I have some errands to run."

"Would you like me to come with you?"

She grabbed her bag and made her way to the door. "No, I'll be fine. I just want to be alone."

She then left the club room, leaving Tamaki alone.


Kaoru knocked on our bedroom door and walked inside.

He smiled sadly. "Hey, how are you feeling?" I just hummed a reply and Kaoru walked over to my bed. "Well you gave somewhat of a reply, so that's good." He sat down and looked at me sadly. "So I talked to Haruhi and told her to tell Tamaki we're no longer in the club."

By hearing Haruhi's name I perked up and sat up, looking at Kaoru.

"Haruhi? How is she? Did she ask about me?"

Kaoru's expression grew even sadder. "Hikaru, I know that you still love her, but you have to remember what she did to you. She used you because she knew that you had strong feelings for her to get to Tamaki."

My expression matched his and I flopped back down on the bed. I sighed. "I know, it's just...no matter how hard I try to hate her for what she's done...I just can't because for some reason...I still love her."

Kaoru sighed and laid down on his back next to me. I began to feel tears in my eyes and stuffed my face into my pillow.

"I really want to get over her so badly, but I just can't." Kaoru looked back over at me as I began sobbing. "Why would she use me like that? She was our best friend...I actually thought she loved me...I knew it was too good to be true, I should've believe Kyouya when he told me that night at the fair."

Kaoru began running his hand through my hair, trying to sooth me. "I know, I don't understand either."

After a couple minutes of him running his hand through my hair, my sobs stopped and I began dozing off. There was a knock on the door and Kaoru looked over at the door as it opened.

"Mom?" Kaoru said shocked. "You're back."

Mom nodded. "Yes, we got on the earliest flight we could get after we heard what happened." She looked over at me sadly. "How is he?"

Kaoru looked back at me. "Not too good, he hasn't left our room in the past four days."

Mom walked over to my bed and sat at the foot of it. She put a hand on my leg. "My poor baby."

"I know this sounds a bit extreme, but can we sue Haruhi for what she did?"

Mom chuckled. "I'm afraid we can't do that sweetie. It's a real shame that Haruhi turned out to be someone of that nature."

"You mean a whore?" Kaoru seethed.

"Yes, I guess you can say that." Mom said before continuing. "But I really thought she was a keeper when I first saw her. I really hoped that she would choose one of you two and I was so excited when Hikaru called me up when we were in New York saying that Haruhi accepted his confession...He sounded so happy that it breaks my heart knowing now that she didn't love him at all and was just using him. I guess I was wrong about her."

"We all were." Kaoru sighed sadly.

"Well, I'm going to fill in your dad about Hikaru. He should be done putting away our suitcases." She said as she stood up. "I'll check on you two soon."

Kaoru nodded and mom left our room, closing the door on the way out. He looked back at me, then noticed the tanuki plush I made for Haruhi on my desk. He glared at it.

"I really hope you're proud of yourself Haruhi, because you ruined my brother's life just to get to another guy."
