New Music Selection of the Week: Bulletproof Heart by My Chemical Romance

Haruhi P.O.V.:

'Click.' I rolled over in my bed, feeling something warm around me as I did. 'CLICK.' I snuggled in closer to the object and smiled. 'Click.' I sat up, annoyed that whatever was making that noise had woke me up.

Opening my eyes, I saw Kaoru and Tamaki smiling and taking pictures in my direction. "What. Are. You. Doing?" I asked through bared teeth.

Kaoru laughed. "We just thought the two of you looked so adorable together, that we thought we should document the occasion."

I sighed, looking down at Hikaru as I got out of bed. "I thought you guys would have gone home by now. Do you need anything?"

Tamaki nodded. "We would like to talk to you." He sounded serious, which kind of made me nervous. I looked at Kaoru, noticing that he also looked serious.

"Okay. Let's go into the kitchen and I can make everyone something to eat while we talk." I ushered them into the kitchen as I rummaged around, finding some things to make dinner with. I started the burner on the stove as they took their seat at the table. "So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked with my back turned to them.

"We're worried about you… and what's going to happen with you and my brother." Kaoru spoke.

I laughed, thinking they were just being silly. "And what would happen? We're going to stay together, he's already promised me that. Besides, your mother practically treats me like her own." I turned around. "I'm going to be fine, guys. Going to America last year really kind of made me a bit more resilient, even though I already was, to anything that could happen. You don't have anything to worry about, I promise."

Kaoru swallowed. "Actually, our mother and father is kind of what Tamaki and I were worried about."

I felt confused. "Why? I told you, she adores me."

Tamaki sighed, looking depressed, even worse than when he goes in his emo corner. "Haven't you learned anything from the time that you and I spent together?"

I looked at him, even more confused. "…No?"

"Okay… What about my mother and father and the situation that they're in?"

I felt my stomach drop. "Oh…" I looked at Kaoru, laughing nervously. "You don't really think that that's a problem do you?"

Tamaki sighed, "Haruhi, my grandmother hasn't let me see or hear from or about my mother in two years. I think that this is a very definite problem."

Kaoru spoke next. "In families, particularly wealthy ones, any kind of scandal is not permitted from anyone in the family. It's true that my mother loves you, but she also loves her work. If anything happens with Hikaru or I that is in any way scandalous, her sales might plummet, especially seeing as how that her competitors stole her ideas for a new dress last year. If they are willing to do something that low, they're probably willing to rat us out to the press."

I sat down, finally understanding the full severity of the situation. "How did it come to this?"
