Darthvader17: Tamaki shocked us all by telling Haruhi to just go on with her life like nothing happened and sort of totally forget Tamaki. True that Tamaki left her into smithereens and it was so evil of him to do such thing.

Summary: Haruhi was having a hard time with the entire get-over-me thing with Tamaki. How could she when she's in love with him? To help herself, she's going to do a lot of things to make her forget him. As what Tamaki told her.

chapter 14 - detachments

"Nice haircut!"

Haruhi arrived in school and her friends greeted her with that big smile on their faces. They never knew what happened the other day and they thought that Haruhi was successful with her mission.

"So, how did it go?" Ino asked her as they all went inside the classroom. They were the first people to arrive.

Haruhi fell to her chair while thinking of what she was going to tell them.

"Well, I asked him if we did have a problem. Then he told me there wasn't"

Hinata nodded. Ino's curiosity got the better of her.

"Then what happened?"

Eventhough she was forbidden to think about Tamaki from that day on, she was still problematic of what Tamaki told her.

Just forget all the things between us. I hope you understand. Just pretend I'm not there. Just forget about me. Go on with your life like nothing happened. So that we won't end up suffering.

Besides the very obvious fact that Tamaki told her, she just can't decipher clearly what his intentions were.

He was just so cold. I just can't believe that he was able to say such thing to me. Like I have committed a crime. Like it was a sin that I knew him.

'maybe he's just doing it for your own good'

Haruhi remembered Ino telling that to her.

Could it be? That he was just doing it for my own good? Haruhi thought.

So that we won't end up suffering.

"Are you listening Haruhi?"

Haruhi might have the weirdest idea but she she hopes that there is still a hope to it.

Haruhi nodded. "I know I am going to be. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"

To be able to forget about him, as what Tamaki told her, Haruhi did all the things that she knew that would help her forget about him. Her friends noticed her going home so early to study and do her homeworks and projects, like she was detaching herself of all those memories that she had with Tamaki. Detaching seems to be on Haruhi's mind right now.

"Haruhi! I think you should know this."

Haruhi was on her way home when Ino called up to her.

Haruhi waited for her friend.

"It better be not a waste Ino. I still have to do that project on Chemistry."

Ino stopped in front of her, trying to catch her breath. "I swear. This is real, not a waste of time, and very important to you."

Ino breathed hard then started talking. "Well, you remember Tamaki and Éclair talking the other day, right?"

Haruhi breathed in slow then nodded. There was still that weird feeling everytime she hears that name. she then nodded.

"You are not going to believe this. We saw them talking, totally alone, right? Apparently, Tamaki was asking for an advice from Éclair."

Haruhi stopped at what she just heard. She looked at Ino like she was just talking in French.

Ino waited for Haruhi to react. It seemed like minutes so Ino moved on. "I know it sounds uncanny but it's true. I heard Éclair herself."

Haruhi was even stunned at the thought. "You asked her? Did you mention me?"

"No! No! No!" Ino defended. "I heard her and Renge talking about a while ago. I wanted a confirmation so I asked her. That's why I tried to catch up to you. Just so you know."

Haruhi was still dead in her tracks.

Advice? Why would he do that? Advice for what? Maybe……

"There's nothing wrong with you guys!" Ino finished Haruhi's sentence.

Could it be?

"Anyway, I gotta go now. Bye!"

Ino left Haruhi who was still digesting the news she just heard.

So, he was just asking for advice huh?

Haruhi walked on while talking to herself.

But, that doesn't do anything to what he told me. That's not going to change the fact that I'm on the path of forgetting him, as what he asked me to. It's already too late to change my mind if after all, there's nothing wrong between us.

The words came out from his mouth.

My decision's final and if I have to forget him to make this easier for me, then I'll do it.
