Aya just breaks my heart sometimes. (Actually, I'm the one breaking her?)

Please read, enjoy, and review!

When I'm with You

Chapter 13 – True Sparks

Moving her feet back and forth in the air, Aya laid herself flat on her belly in the bed while she looked down at her cellphone. She was silently hoping that Kyouya would call her to tell her good night or to see how she was. All Aya wanted was to hear his voice again. Aya shook her head as she banged her head on the mattress. What in the world was she thinking?

Aya sighed as she looked down at her bandaged hand. After Kyouya had found her crying at Palm Tree, he called Towa and told her that she was hurt that she couldn't work at the moment. Of course, Towa got extremely worried and allowed her to go home. Aya was kind of glad about that. She didn't have the energy to work after what Rei had said to her. Lately, all her encounters with Rei had been nothing, but tears. It's no surprise, though. That's the way it always was when she was with Rei.

Then, her cellphone started ringing. Aya quickly sat up and grabbed her cellphone. She checked who it was with excitement. To her disappointment, it wasn't Kyouya, but to her relief, it wasn't Rei. Aya smiled a little when she saw her phone blinking, telling her that Ran was calling her. Aya answered the phone and placed it in her ear. "Hello?"

"Ayaaaa!" Ran screamed from the other side of the line. Aya moved her phone away from her ear until Ran was finished screaming. "Towa told us what happened! She told us that you hurt your hand! What happened? Are you okay? Are you in the hospital!"

"No, Ran. Calm down." Aya insisted as she laughed a little. She was glad that she was feeling a lot better and there was no sign of tears in her eyes. Her heart was fluttering with happiness. Could this be because of Kyouya? Aya felt shivers run through her skin. "Don't worry about it, Ran. I'm okay. I cut my hand with a piece of glass. It's nothing serious. Kyouya just over reacted and told me to go home."

"Kyouya! Kyouya! Kyouya!" Ran exclaimed loudly, making Aya jump a little on the bed. She sat with her legs crossed on the bed while an image of Kyouya appeared in her mind. "Why are the always around? Especially him. It seems that you prefer your new friends than your old ones."

Aya laughed after hearing Ran's sarcastic voice. "Oh, Ran. What are you saying? I love you guys more than anything in the world, you all are my best friends. But I also love the Host Club very much. You guys are like a family to me. I wouldn't trade ya'll for anything."

"Well, that's good to hear. If those idiots ever make you cry, then you tell me! I wouldn't mind kicking their asses. They get on my nerves! I know they're your friends, but don't expect me to like them. Rich spoiled guys like them piss me off. They have everything while I have to find some loose change just to buy myself some ramen!"

Aya could hear the sincerity in her voice. Her smile silently dropped while she looked down at her lap. Just because they were rich didn't mean that they had everything. Kyouya for example didn't have the love and support of a united family, something that Ran did have. Aya placed her hand in her heart, feeling it throb inside her sadly. She really felt sorry him and she wished that someday she would be able to help him, just the same way that he always helped her. Aya sighed, putting a small smile on her face after hearing her good friend Ran. She had no idea what there lives were like. "Oh, Ran. I'm so glad you called."

"Of course you're glad!" Ran scream triumphantly in the phone, making Aya once again move her cellphone away from her ear. Then, Ran calmed down and Aya could hear her laughing softly. "So tell me Aya, what happened between you and Rei? We did leave you guys alone after all. So how in the world did you hurt yourself and end up with that rich bastard? Wasn't Rei there when all that happened? Where the hell was that block of ice?"

"Well," Aya began as she dropped her head on the pillow. She grabbed a few blankets that were around and covered herself. She could feel a cold chilliness running through her skin as she thought of Rei and his torn broken face. He'd been acting so strange lately that Aya wasn't sure how to deal with it. "He left just before all that happen. When Kyouya got there, he was already gone. And just to let you know, nothing happened between us."

"Jeez, Aya! When are you going to declare your feelings for him? We've been waiting for that day since forever." Ran told her.

Once again, Aya's heart dropped down to her stomach. She was about to declare her love for him just before she left Hounan, but he ended up telling her that he like Ran. Since that moment, Aya decided to forget about Rei for good. To never look back at him and to just move forward. That's what she needed to do now. She had to stay by Kyouya and never look back at her past. She had many memories with Rei, but she was creating many beautiful moments Kyouya. Moments that she would always keep close to her heart. Rei never cared about her. He only started taking an interest in her after she entered Ouran. "Ran," Aya said while she sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "I'm not going to tell Rei anything. Not now. Not ever. It's over between us. That chapter of my life is closed."

"What! Are you serious? You don't love Rei anymore? Oh my god!" Ran hollered, making Aya hope that she wasn't in any place public where people could hear her. "Aya, tell me what's going on! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!"

Was it time to tell her that she was going out with Kyouya Ootori? Kyouya had told her to keep it a secret, but he never told her to restrain it from her friends. They had the right to know. If she doesn't tell them soon, then Ran and the others will keep insisting her to go with Rei. "Listen Ran," Aya began quietly and shyly. "I can't tell Rei anything because I'm not sure what I feel for him anymore. I think I'm falling in love with someone else."

For the next seconds, there was nothing but silence. Aya sighed while she covered her face with her bed sheets. She felt so embarrassed for some reason. She could feel her heart pounding loudly inside her. Her face felt hot, but her hands were trembling. She bit her lower lip while she waited for Ran's response.

"Heh? Is he someone from the Host Club?"

"Yes.."

"I see. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." And with that, Ran clicked.

Aya quietly turned off her phone and placed it on her bed. She didn't understand why Ran had reacted that way. She sounded so indifferent like if she didn't even care. What was wrong with her falling in love with another person? It was normal thing if girls didn't stay with their first love. Kyouya made her happy and she enjoyed his company. She wouldn't mind staying with him forever. Aya took off her bed sheets off her face and looked up at the ceiling. She looked around her room, sighing.

She wouldn't even be there if it wasn't thanks to Kyouya. He had bought everything for her because he cared about her. That wasn't the only way he showed her that he cared. Every time she needed him, Kyouya was always there. It was almost as if he knew that she was calling him. A warm smile appeared on her face.

Reaching over to her night table, Aya turned off the lamp and made herself comfortable on the bed. She shifted her head down on the pillow. She was just about to close her eyes when she heard her cellphone vibrating.

Bolting up, Aya began to look for her phone through the bed sheets. Then she spotted something bright blinking. She quickly grabbed it and checked who was calling her. She wasn't used to having so many calls late at night, but when she saw that it was Kyouya, Aya's heart soared up to the sky. She pulled the cellphone to her chest and hugged it tightly. Rei would never call her at night when they were going out. "Hello! Kyouya?"

"I can see that you're still awake. How is your hand feeling?" He asked her with a voice full of concern.

"Oh, my hand is fine. It's really nothing for you to worry about. It's just a small cut and you did a very good job in cleaning it." Aya looked at her hand in the dark. There was a bandage in the smack center of her palm. She wondered what she was thinking when she had slammed her hand on the floor. She sighed as she shook her head to herself. "So, what are you doing? What made you call me so late at night?"

"Well," Kyouya began with unsure tone in his voice. "I'm here in my room noting down the profit the club made today from the sales. If I'm bothering you, just tell me and will more than happy to let you be."

"Oh, no!" Aya exclaimed as she sat up in her bed, shaking her head. "I'm actually quite glad that you called me. It makes me happy to know that you think about me." Aya began to mess with the blanket that laid on top of her lap. "It doesn't matter at what time you call me. I always have trouble sleeping."

"That's going to affect your studies. If you begin to drop your grades, they could take away your scholarship. You did know that, right?"

"Oh, yeah. I knew that." Aya told him, removing some of her hair off her face. "That was the first thing they told me when I stepped foot on Ouran. They even told me who was paying for my studies, but I was so nervous that I forgot. Anyways, I'm used to sleeping late already. When I was in Hounan, I always slept late, studying or doing homework and I always managed to keep my grades up."

"Do you miss going to Hounan?"

Aya sighed while she thought of her two best friends, Ran and Miyu. "At first, I did miss going to Hounan. I couldn't find my way around Ouran, but then I met you and the other Host Club members. Aw, I'm so glad I met you all. It's one of the greatest things that's ever happened to me."

"I'm glad to hear that." Kyouya stated as he huffed a small laugh. "I'm also glad I met you."

Aya blushed at Kyouya's words. The smile on her face would never fade away as long as she heard his voice. As long as he was there, everything would be fine. "Oh, Kyouya. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve you. I carry so many problems that not only weigh me down, but they're bringing you down as well. Ever since I met you, I've been nothing but trouble for you."

"Aya, you don't trouble me at all, so erase that silly thought from your mind. I'm with you because I want to. Don't ever say that you don't deserve me because you never know, I may end up believing it. Is that what you want?"

"No! Of course not." Aya said a little bit to loud. She hoped she didn't wake up her mother since she tended to go to sleep early. "I won't say that ever again I promise. I'll show to you that I do deserve you. You won't regret choosing me. After all, I cannot turn my back on you for a second, because then before I know it, you're surrounded by girls."

"Oh?" Aya pouted, crossing her hands after hearing Kyouya chuckle. "Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?"

Rolling her eyes, Aya gritted her teeth. "I'm not jealous. It's just a bit frustrating to see all these girls, trying to make a move on you. Like today in the Host Club. I know I have to get used to it. You are a Host after all."

"Yes. Vice-president of the Host Club as well. I have a lot to deal with." Kyouya admitted truthfully. "But, I'll always have time for you."

Aya blushed different shades of red as she covered her mouth with the bed sheet. She wondered if he was always that sweet before he met her. It made her kind of sad to think that someone else used to have Kyouya sweetness. Now, that she thought about it, Aya wondered if Kyouya had had other girlfriends before her. So far she had had three boyfriends: Rei Otohata, Kazuki Katase, and Kyouya Ootori. "Oh, Kyouya. You say the sweetest things sometimes."

"Trust me. I wasn't like that before. I'm not like this around others. You're the only one that's seen this side of me." Kyouya let out a sigh which was followed by Aya's long sigh. "It's not something I'm proud of, but I think I could compare myself to Rei Otohata."

"Rei? Why do you compare yourself to him? You guys are totally different." Aya told him to her surprise in a rather calm voice.

"By everything you have told me thus far, I find him rather similar to myself. I used to be just like him. Of course, he's also changed because of your influence." Kyouya probably sensed her uneasiness and changed the topic. "Anyways, I think I'll let you go now. I don't want you want to go to school sleepy and tired because of me."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Aya said as she yawned. "You better go to sleep too. I would hate to figure out that you over here sending me to sleep while you're still up. Don't over work okay, Kyouya?"

"Don't worry. I'm going to go to sleep as well." Kyouya sighed while he gave out a small laugh. "I'll see you tomorrow, Aya."

"Yeah, okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Aya told him with a smile on her face. If it wasn't so dark, she would probably see her face blushing. "Good night, Kyouya. I love you." And with that she clicked.

Aya snuggled back in her blankets feeling something warm develop in her chest. She turn her phone off and placed it on her table. She shifted herself on the bed and slowly began to close her eyes. Before she knew it, she fell asleep. Her heart and mind thinking about one person; Kyouya Ootori.

…

Snapping his phone shut, Kyouya sat in silent in front of his small table in his big gigantic room. He had his laptop opened and a journal in front of him. He stayed motionless as he tried to recover from Aya's words. She had just told him that she loved him. Did she notice that? She had clearly told him that she loved him. Could that be true? Kyouya pushed his glasses back while he began to type in his laptop again.

He didn't know if her words were true or not, but he felt happy that she had actually told him that. It made him comfortable and at ease to know that Rei was slowly getting out of her heart. If she still loved Rei, then she wouldn't have said that she loved him. Kyouya sighed as he stopped typing and began to stare of to space.

He never realized how much he had grown to care for her. In a way, Kyouya didn't like feeling so strongly for someone. It was the first time in his life that he met someone that was worth giving up his entire life style. He didn't want to see her cry so that's why he was nice to her when they were alone. He was his true self around her and around Tamaki. If Aya had met him a few years before Tamaki, then he probably would have ended up scaring her. Tamaki had soften him a bit while Aya changed him completely.

"Oh, Kyouya! This is absolutely impossible! You need to get bigger drawers." His sister, Fuyumi, called down from his dresser. She was trying to stuff Kyouya's shirts in his drawers, but apparently, it wasn't working. "Ugh! Is this never going to fit in here? This is very frustrating."

Kyouya sighed with annoyance as he turned to look at her. He saved his work on his laptop and then turned it off. He couldn't concentrate on his work anyways. His mind kept thinking about Aya. He checked the time on his watch. Aya was probably in her room, trying to go to sleep. After turning off his computer, Kyouya turned to look back at his sister. "What are you doing here?"

"Is that any way to greet your sister?" Fuyumi cried out, lifting Kyouya's shirt in the air. She slammed in against the drawer and pushed it in as hard as she could. "Well, you see my husband is out on an urgent business trip. There was no time for me to pack so I had to stay here in Japan. Since I didn't want to be alone in the house, I decided to pay you guys a little visit. I'll be leaving after he comes back."

"That's not what I meant." Kyouya stated while he rolled his eyes. After his sister had married into the Shido family, she hardly visited. She dedicate her full time to her new family and husband. What pissed Kyouya off the most was the fact that she didn't care about anything. She was so childish considering her age. "What are you doing here in my room? Let the maids fix my clothes. It's their job after all and they do get paid for doing. And they do a much better job than you."

"Jeez, Kyouya!" Fuyumi hollered while she continued to press down harder and harder on Kyouya's clothes. Kyouya tried his best to calm his nerves. "This is just impossible. I don't know how they do it."

"Can you just please leave my clothes alone and get out of my room." Kyouya snapped at her, but of course, his words didn't affect her in the slightest. "If you didn't notice it's late and I'm going to go to sleep."

"Oh, please." His sister began with sarcasm dripping from her mouth. Kyouya gritted his teeth while he snapped his laptop shut. He pushed his glasses back while he gripped tightly on his cellphone before placing it on the table. It was great to see his sister again, but he really found it unnecessary for her to be in his room. He wasn't the same middle school boy that she once knew. "Sleep is probably the last thing in your mind" She continued. "Especially after that conversation you had on the phone."

Kyouya flinched as he tried to hide his embarrassment. He couldn't believe that his sister had been eavesdropping. "That's none of your business, so stay out of it." Kyouya barked at her, surprising her a bit. After looking at his face, Fuyumi started laughing hard as she clutched tightly to one of Kyouya's shirt, wrinkling it to Kyouya's annoyance.

She gave him a sly look with a mischievous smirk. Fuyumi began to laugh again as she stood up and walked over to Kyouya. She sat down on her knees in front of Kyouya at his table. Kyouya ignored her and pretended to be writing down something on his new black journal. "Tell me, Kyouya." She began jokingly. "Who were you talking to? Was it a girl?"

Gritting his teeth, Kyouya pushed his glasses back. "I told you that it's none of your business so just stay out of it."

"Oh, c'mon, Kyouya!" She pleaded placing her hands in front of her chest, making a puppy face. Kyouya shook his head and continued to ignore her. There was no way he was going to her about Aya. If her told her that he had a girlfriend, then she would never stop making fun of him. She was the only person that knew that he had never had a girlfriend before. Then, she'll start to ask him what Aya was like or when she could meet her. "Please, Kyouya. Tell me!"

He could tell her a million times no and she still wouldn't understand. She could be so stubborn just like with his clothes. Instead of answering her, Kyouya simply just shook his head again. He wasn't in the mood to argue with her. He kept writing on the his new black journal since he had accidentally lost the last one.

A small smile appeared on his face as he stared down at the paper. He lost the journal on the day that he kissed Aya. On that day, she became his girlfriend. Kyouya still didn't know what had possessed him to kiss her that day. Maybe it was anger, jealously or love. It didn't matter because the point was that he kissed her, changing their lives.

"Kyouya!" His sister hollered, snapping him from his thoughts. He looked up at her to find her steaming with frustration. "Are you going to tell me who you were talking to or not? Is she a girl? Does she go to your school? Do you like her? How did you meet?"

"You ask to many questions." Kyouya told her, rolling his eyes. "Why don't you just get out of my room and leave me alone? There's nothing for me to tell you."

"Fine if that's the way you wanna be." Fuyumi closed her eyes and crossed her hands with an angry look on her face. Kyouya knew that she wasn't serious, but then he saw something spark in her eyes when she looked at him. "If you don't want to tell me," She began and without a second warning, she grabbed Kyouya's phone. She waved the phone back and forth in her hand while she gave him a victorious smile. "I'll figure it out myself!"

Kyouya fumed with anger, standing up and charging toward her. He was about to grab her, but she quickly stood up and ran to the far side of his room. Kyouya silently growled to himself, his hands turning to fists. There was no point in chasing her. He would only look like a fool running after his sister in his room that was probably three times bigger than Aya's apartment. Fuyumi stuck out her tongue out him and opened it. Her eyes started to shine like jewels after she saw something. Kyouya figure that she had looked at the list of his recent calls.

She started laughing as she walked toward him. Giving him his phone, Fuyumi placed her hands on her hips and leaned close to his face. Kyouya felt like pushing her away since she had just looked through his stuff. "So tell me Kyouya," She said with a sly smile. "Who's Aya Hoshino?"

"That's none of your business." Kyouya snapped at her annoyingly. He placed his phone in his pocket while he started to walk away. "Can you please get out of my room!"

"If you don't tell me who Aya Hoshino is," Fuyumi pulled out her cellphone from a small pocket in her dress. She showed it to Kyouya before she popped it opened. "I'll ask her myself."

"Heh. It's not like you have her number." Kyouya crossed his hands, waiting for her to respond. Then he watched as his sister shake her finger from side to side. "Tsk, Tsk, little brother," Fuyumi clicked on a few numbers on her phone. "You forget that I have an amazing memory and plus, that girl's number is simple. I have it memorized in my head. If you don't believe me then, I'll call her to prove it to you."

"Don't call her!" Kyouya exclaimed pulling his hands out his pockets furiously. "She's probably asleep by now. If you call her, then you'll only make her worry."

"Oh. You seem to care about this girl." She squealed with happiness, making Kyouya groan with annoyance. "Who is she, Kyouya? By the way you speak of her, she sounds like she's very important to you. Let me see." She placed her finger on her chin, pretending to be thinking about something. "When was the last time you took interest in a girl?" She suddenly opened her eyes and pointed her index finger at Kyouya. "Never! This is the first time you willingly have a girl on your contacts! Could it be? That you like her? Maybe. One-sided love!"

"Stop saying stupid stuff." Kyouya said under his breath. She didn't notice the small blush of embarrassment that was forming on his face. "It's not one-sided for your information."

She gasped as she placed her hands over her mouth. "Could it be? That this girl likes you too, then! Oh my! Isn't this exciting! Have you confessed your feelings? Is she your girlfriend? Have you kissed her? Sex?"

"Your mouth just can't get any bigger, can't it?" Kyouya sat back down in front of the table on the floor. His sister sat down across from him, her eyes still glowing with excitement. "Can you please get out of my room now? Do you have any idea what time it is? It's time to go to sleep. We'll talk about this in the morning. It's nothing that concerns you anyways."

"Oh, but your wrong, little brother." She placed her hands on the table as she leaned closer to him. "If you don't tell me who she is, then I will never leave your room. I'll haunt you till the end of time!" She sat back down on the floor with a sweet smile on her face. "Tell me. Is she your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, she is. And I love her."

…

Kyouya pushed his glassed back while he forced a sweet smile at the girls that were in front of him. He had quite a lot of requests that day and of course, he didn't mind. The more girls requested, the more profit they would make. He looked around the room, trying to look for Aya. Sure enough, she making Tamaki some commoners' coffee. He wished he could be with her.

"Kyouya Senpai," A girl with a long black hair called out to him. He unwillingly turned to look at the girl, taking his eyes away from Aya. "When are the new album pictures coming out? I can't wait to see the photographs of the Host Club members again!"

He opened his journal and looked up the information that the girl had just asked him. "It should be coming out in a couple of days. I'll advise you when it's on sale. I hope you enjoy it." Kyouya smiled at her, making all the girl's heart melt.

Squealing with delight, a girl with short brown hair and bright blue eyes walked toward him. She looked down at the floor with a small blush on her face. "Don't worry, Kyouya Senpai. I'll be the first one to buy the edition." She looked around the room and then slowly looked at Kyouya in the eyes. "By the way, where is Miss Renge? I haven't seen her in awhile. Is she not the manager anymore?"

Sighing, Kyouya gripped tightly on his journal while giving Aya a quick glance. She was talking to Haruhi and her group of girls. "Miss Renge," Kyouya began, pushing his glasses back and looking at the girl with blue eyes. "Is in France at the moment. She is due to come in a week or so."

"Oh, I see." The girl with blue eyes, who Kyouya suddenly remembered her name was Himiko Izumi, looked up at him with a relieved look. "Well, that's good to hear. We thought you might have replaced Miss Range with that new commoner girl." She glanced at Aya, who was apparently being made fun of by the twins much to Kyouya's annoyance. "I don't know why Tamaki Senpai has such interest in commoners."

"Yeah, I don't find her very pretty. She's too original. There's no way a guy could actually fall for her." Another girl who was hiding in the background said. Apparently, they were all now talking about Aya, criticizing her and feeling sorry for her. Of course, Kyouya was trying to prevent himself from slapping them. Aya was his girlfriend and if they said one more thing against her, then he would really snap.

Suddenly, the girl, Himiko walked over to the table were she was last sitting at drinking tea. She grabbed a magazine and walked back toward them. Kyouya sighed while he shook his head. It seemed like all the girls that had requested him today liked to gossip. He had no choice but, to play along there silly stupid games. Kyouya was usually not the type to judge a guest, but as annoying as they were, he couldn't help it. He didn't mind talking to them, but the part were they started to insult Aya, really pissed him off.

"Look at this, Kyouya Senpai." Himiko pulled the magazine out of her embrace and showed the title to Kyouya. On the cover it read, Shibuya Gals! in big bold girl began to flip through the pages, but then stopped when she found the page that she was looking for. "I'm usually not the type a girl that would buy such a cheap and worthless magazine, but something in here caught my interest."

She pulled it out in front of her to show Kyouya and the other girls a picture of what seemed to be a boy and girl kissing. Himiko pointed at the girl. "See. This Aya Hoshino and she's kissing with the cutest guy of Shibuya, Rei Otohata."

Kyouya snatched the magazine from her hand and looked at carefully. There was no doubt. The girl in the picture was Aya and the guy holding her around the waist was Rei Otohata. Kyouya gripped on it tightly as he fumed with anger. He couldn't stand seeing them like that. Kyouya glanced over at Aya who was now happily talking with Hunny.

"Oh, don't worry, Kyouya Senpai." Himiko told him with a small blush on her face. She probably suspected that Kyouya had gotten mad because she had called Rei cute. If only she knew that his anger was for a totally different reason. "Rei can't possibly compare to you. You're way beyond his standards."

Kyouya couldn't believe what he was seeing. With knowing, he crumpled the magazine in his hand, scarring the girls off a bit. This was the first time in their lives they had seen Kyouya truly angry.

TBC...
