Chapter twelve: We're sorry.
Hikaru and Kaoru lead Haruhi slowly away trudging through the snow as it continues to fall around them.
Haruhi worries about where they are going and what will happen next.
Will it turn out like every other time?
Will she, in the end, be on her own again and possibly left to die in this cold?
Or….
Could it actually work this time?
She isn't sure what will happen but she trusts the twins so she continues to follow them feeling like her body can barely move she is so cold.
They take a short cut through an alley way only to pause.
"We have to find them!" Hunny's voice comes from around the corner.
Kaoru turns to Haruhi and nods for her to go.
Haruhi looks worried to them. "B-B-But W-Wh-What A-Abou-About Y-You?" She stutters from the cold.
"W-We-We''l B-B-Be F-Fin-Fine." Hikaru stutters back.
Haruhi reluctantly goes moving forward.
…..
The host club look around themselves then suddenly Haruhi collapses coming into view of the host club.
"HARUHI!"
They rush towards her to check on her.
Kyouya looks down the alley but sees no one else in it so he turns back to Haruhi. "Where's the others?" He asks as Tamaki takes off one of his jackets to wrap it around Haruhi.
"I-I-In H-Homes." Haruhi weakly stutters out.
Tamaki picks her up bridal style. "Don't worry. You'll be with us now. You can stay with us." He turns and takes the lead as they head to get Haruhi to the closest place to warm up and wait for a limo Kyouya is calling now to get them to one of Kyouyas family's the hospitals to help her.
…
Kaoru and Hikaru peer out from behind the trash bin they hid behind in the alley.
'They took her.' Kaoru says silently to Hikaru by looking back to him then they shakily get up feeling like their legs are so numb they can barely even move them.
They begin heading back the way they came only for Kaoru to collapse passing out from the cold as well as from feeling weak.
Hikaru opens his mouth but his vocal cords won't make a sound and soon all he sees is black as he too collapses.
One last thought runs through their minds as they head off into darkness of unconsciousness.
We're sorry.
…
The limo is rushing them to the closest hospital.
Tamaki and Kyouya have taken off their jackets to try to warm up Haruhi while they keep the heat on inside the limo to help her warm up.
Haruhi seems to have passed out at some point so she is laying across Kyouya and Tamaki's laps with her head resting on Tamaki's thigh.
"Please be ok." Tamaki mummers as he looks down at Haruhi in worry.
Hunny is also watching in worry.
They don't want to lose Haruhi.
As if to try to comfort him Kyouya reaches over and links hands with Tamaki.
"We'll be arriving soon." The driver says as the small window between him and the passengers is open.
"Thank you." Kyouya says looking up.
Sure enough they arrive and Kyouya takes Haruhi rushing her in demanding that the nurses and doctors by the entrance way help her.
Soon Haruhi is quickly wheeled away on a hospital bed.
The host club left to wait in the waiting room anxious.
Tamaki paces, Kyouya can't focus on his black book like he hoped he would, Hunny is curled up on Mori's lap clinging to the others jacket and Mori is sitting holding Hunny to try to comfort him.
Time couldn't have passed by any slower before a doctor comes over to them.
Haruhi's P.O.V.
I blink my eyes open a small bit and blink a few times trying to get my vision to no longer be blurred but so far it isn't really working. I try a few more times.
There's some sounds but it sounds blurred like they are underwater or something.
Ugh. I feel so weird.
My body is numb and heavy.
What is going on?
Where am I!?
No one's P.O.V.
Haruhi is starting to awaken and Tamaki leaps to his feet calling her name.
However…
She doesn't seem to really notice.
The heart monitor still beeps as it keeps track of her heartbeat to make sure she stays alive.
There is quite a few IV's connected to her to try to help her and there is a heated blanket at the right temperature to help her safely warm up.
Tamaki stops as he watches her blink quite slowly as if trying to clear blurred vision weakly.
Kyouya gets up, he is the only other one awake as it is getting close to visiting hours being over so it's getting late that means, and goes over. "Let her rest." He says.
Haruhi's eyes flicker to them.
Kyouya turns to her believing she might be able to hear them now. "You are safe." He assures her. "You are in a hospital and you'll be fine. Our daughter." He says to try to assure her.
She blinks once more then closes her eyes again.
Kyouya pulls Tamaki away. "Let's let her sleep." He says.
They wake Hunny and Mori then head out to let Haruhi rest.
Hunny and Mori head home while Kyouya and Tamaki head to Kyouya's place.
Kyouya and Tamaki are in Kyouya's room now as they are sitting on Kyouya's bed.
Tamaki leaning against Kyouya in almost a cuddling style. "Mommy." He sighs in worry and content.
Kyouya strokes his seme's hair. "Yes daddy?"
Tamaki looks up to Kyouya's eyes as Kyouya lets the glare on his glasses disappear. "Do you think she will be home with us soon?"
Kyouya blinks then nods. "Yes. She is strong. I'm sure that it will seem like no time passed and she will be with us."
Tamaki nods softly as he lowers his head closing his eyes inhaling the other's scent. He moans softly. "Oh Kyouya you smell so good."
Kyouya smirks at that. "Is that so?"
…
The owner of a restaurant hums as he heads out back to throw out some trash. He steps outside and throws the trash into the bin only to turn and freeze. "Oh my." He gasps and moves a little further out making sure the door stop is down to keep the door open. He crouches in the snow slightly hovering over what he noticed. He reaches over and brushes some snow off of a pile that reveals what he thought he saw. "TAMMY!"
