Kaoru took a deep breath as he pulled out a silver box. He glanced over to Hikaru real fast who merely nodded his head.
"Happy Birthday Haruhi," said Kaoru as he opened the box for her. Inside was a full jewelry set. It had a pair of silver earrings with a read diamond in each. There was a bracelet that also had a red diamond in it. And finally a beautiful silver necklace with a matching red diamond as well. .
"Oh wow," said Haruhi.
"Oh my, aren't they lovely!" said Ranka with delight. He took the box from Kaoru to get a better look. "They look so lovely. Almost like royal jewels! They would be so lovely on you Haruhi!"
"I don't know," said Haruhi. "I may be too scared to really put them on. They look so expensive."
"Oh come on Haruhi," said Kaoru. "I had it specially made for you. I made sure they would fit you and everything." He picked up the necklace and held it up to her.
"Will you at least try it on?" he asked.
Haruhi bit her lip. It would be considered rude not to at least try it after all the work Kaoru put into making it.
"All right," said Kaoru. He looped the necklace around her neck and fastened.
As he did he couldn't help but notice just how close he was to Haruhi. No one was really paying attention to him at the moment. So seizing the opportunity, he leaned down and gently kissed the back of her neck.
"Haruhi is the necklace too tight?" asked Ranka, "Your face is all red."
"Uh no I'm fine," said Haruhi as she touched the necklace with her hands. She couldn't believe that Kaoru had just kissed the back of her neck like that.
"That necklace looks so cute on you Haru-Chan!" said Hunny.
"Yes but that outfit looks all wrong," said Ranka.
"What?" asked Haruhi.
"That outfit, it doesn't go with the jewelry at all!" said Ranka.
"Yeah so?" asked Haruhi.
"If you're going to wear such nice things you got to wear the right clothes with it!" said Ranka, "Go change right."
"But Dad," said Haruhi.
"Please Haruhi, Daddy likes seeing you in pretty things!" said Ranka.
"This Daddy too!" said Tamaki.
"Watch it punk!" said Ranka. Then he turned to Kaoru. "You got her the jewelry, why don't you help her find something nicer to wear."
"Um okay," said Kaoru walking down to Haruhi's room.
"Hey, hey, stay out of my room!" said Haruhi running after him.
"Relax Haruhi, I won't go snooping into anything but your closet," said Kaoru opening the closet door.
"That's bad enough!" said Haruhi grabbing his arm.
"Your dad asked me to help you find something new to wear so that's what I'm going to do," said Kaoru pulling his arm free. He looked into the closet at meager dresses she had. "I guess I should have gotten you a dress to go along with the jewels huh? Oh wait I did!" He pulled out a new long silver dress out from the closet.
"What, where did that," said Haruhi, "Hey wait was this all a set by you and my dad?"
Kaoru smirked.
"I needed to get the measurements for the jewels somehow," said Kaoru. "Then when your dad pointed out that you didn't have anything that would go with them, I had the dress made for you."
Haruhi groaned.
"You got to be kidding me!" she said.
"Look, why not just put it on?" asked Kaoru.
"All right I will. But you have to answer me one question," said Haruhi.
"Sure, what?" asked Kaoru.
"Why did you kiss me?" asked Haruhi.
Kaoru bit his lip.
"I uh, I don't really know. It just felt right," he said.
"Are you still having problems with your emotions or something?" asked Haruhi.
"I guess you could call it that," said Kaoru.
"Kaoru, I, I'm sorry you're still having these mixed up emotions. I wish there was something more I could do for you," said Haruhi.
"Well there is one thing," said Kaoru.
"What?" Haruhi barley managed to before Kaoru grabbed her into his arms and kissed her. He kissed so hard and passionately that she didn't even realize it when Kaoru had her pinned up against the wall. She didn't fight back once though. She wasn't sure why. Was is because of shock or was it…,
"Haruhi, is everything all right in there?" Ranka suddenly shouted from the other side of the door.
Kaoru immediately let go of Haruhi and back away.
"Yeah Dad everything's fine," said Haruhi.
"You've been in there an awful long time," said Ranka.
"Yeah, I was just thanking Kaoru for the new dress," said Haruhi.
"Did you see it? Isn't it nice?" said Ranka happily.
"Yeah," said Haruhi.
"Well hurry up and change! I want to see you in it!" said Ranka.
"Yes Dad," said Haruhi.
She turned and looked Kaoru.
"Sorry about that again Haruhi," said Kaoru.
"Kaoru, I think you and I need to do some serious talking. We should try finding at time where we can all meet and talk," said Haruhi.
"Yeah that might be best," said Kaoru.
"Do you want to work something out later at school?" asked Haruhi.
"Yeah sure, we can do that," said Kaoru.
"Thanks," said Haruhi.
"In the mean time, how about we get you into this dress," said Kaoru holding it up.
Haruhi took the dress. Then she looked at Kaoru.
"Out," she said.
"All right," said Kaoru as he walked out of the room and back to the party. He walked over to Hikaru.
"Hey Kaoru, so what did Haruhi think of your other present?" asked Hikaru.
"She liked it. She'll out in it soon," said Kaoru.
"I can't wait to see her in it," said Hikaru. He looked at Kaoru deep into his eyes and took his chin into his hand.
"I think it was a really sweet present Kaoru. You have good taste," he said looking deep into Kaoru's eyes.
"Uh thanks Hikaru," said Kaoru. Both held each other's gaze for a moment, until they heard a door opening.
"Oh here she comes!" said Ranka. All of the other hosts looked eagerly towards the doorway.
Haruhi walked in wearing the silver dress along with her necklace.
"Oh my goodness Haruhi!" said Ranka as tears filled his eyes!
"She looks so beautiful," said Kaoru.
"Yeah," said Hikaru, "Hey uh Kaoru, are you going to be okay going home by yourself after the party?"
"What?" asked Kaoru.
"Can you go home alone after the party?" asked Hikaru.
"Why would I want to…," said Kaoru.
"Kaoru, where's the rest of the jewelry?" asked Ranka.
"Oh it's right here," said Kaoru grabbing the silver box and handing it to him. Ranka immediately helped Haruhi put on the earrings and bracelet.
"Oh you look almost like a goddess Haruhi!" said Ranka.
"Haru-Chan, it's my turn for you to open my present!" said Hunny.
Kaoru looked over at Hikaru as Hunny got his own present ready.
'What did Hikaru mean about me going home alone?' he thought, both scared and suspicious.
