Side note: Haruhi is probably age 11 by now.

A day in the hospital

Haruhi was sat down on a seat besides the hospital bed. Her hands were holding her head trying to comprehend what Ichirou told her a couple of weeks ago. She has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks. Youta only woke a few times, mostly he has just been laying there, weak and she could do nothing for him. Hikaru and Kaoru dropped by a few times, but they still went to school so they would not miss anything. Haruhi asked them to take notes for her and they did as she told them. At first, Youta tried to convince her that he would be ok, but she stayed there to comfort him instead. The other's like Tamaki etc also visits, as well as Asami who visits often. Haruhi had to tell her to look after her dog for her because she did not want to forget about her.

Rocking backwards and forwards on her seat she continuously looked towards the bed in which Youta resided in. She felt horrible after what Ichirou told her. How could someone be insanely jealous and then kill their own lover? who they loved dearly. She was so confused by this. Haruhi thought a lover would do anything to protect the one they cared for. But it seems most people would do anything to get revenge. Her heart ached about how sick and twisted the man who killed her mother was. If he was so jealous he did not need to go that far. It was not right to make them suffer just because she fell in love with someone else.

She sighed. "I don't know what to do any more..." she mumbled.

"Haruhi...?" a voice sounded just so she could just hear it. She popped her head up and saw it was Youta. He seemed to look better than before, she was happy about that.

"Are you ok Youta?" she asked with concern in her voice.

He looked and smiled. "I feel much better now."

Haruhi smiled back. "Your voice seems better as well. But please lay down..." He was about to sit up but had a ting of pain on his right side and laid back down.

He sighed. "I'm sorry Haruhi..."

She shook her head. "Don't say sorry! It's that murderer's fault for... you know..." He then nodded his head. It was silent in the room for quite some time. "Uhm Youta..." she broke the silence. He looked up at her, she noticed him looking. "What exactly happened? I mean... how did you...?"

"End up here?" he finished for her, she nodded. "It was when I was arriving home early from work..." He began. "Remember when I told you I would..." she nodded again. "Well... I don't know what happened really... one minute I was getting out of the car and my back was turned the other way. It happened so fast... there was no one else around and then they..." he paused to think about everything that happened. "They hit me really hard on my back, it felt like a stab in the back... and well I collapsed and blacked out. Especially made my head hurt from the impact on the floor..."

Haruhi noticed and wondered how he got that bandage on his head but now she knows. "Oh... I wish you had known what he looked like... then maybe we would have something to look for..." she kept mumbling.

Youta smiled sadly. "I'm sorry. that's all the information I have."

"But..." Haruhi began. "If he is only hurting people around me then... maybe..." her eyes widened at realisation.

Youta caught on. "Don't even think about it Haruhi! It's too dangerous!" he said quite loud, mostly out of protection. It was what a father would be like to her.

"I know but..."

"No buts." Youta said quickly while looking at her as she looked back towards him in the eyes. "What would I tell everyone if something happened to you?"

Haruhi looked down at her hands. "We need to catch him though..." she muttered but he heard. She slightly clenched her small hands into fists, "If something happened to anyone of my friends..." she mumbled. "I..." she could not say anything else. She tried holding back the tears as they over consumed her and fell, drop after drop. She still considered it as her fault since it was everyone close to her who was getting hurt. Next it might be Hikaru and Kaoru who was actually quite good class mates, apart from annoying her. Or even Ichirou who she knew when she was little, or maybe any of her new friends who she knew quite well. Any one of them would hurt her deeply if they themselves got hurt.

Youta reached his hand out to touch Haruhi's, since it was on the bed. Her chair was right near the bed. "Please Haruhi." He started to plead. "I would not be able to live with myself if anything happened to you. Please reconsider."

Haruhi smiled and said nothing else. She so badly wanted to get who ever was harming the people close to her. But she thought it was impossible to do on her own so she needed help. Neither said a word as a nurse suddenly came in. "How is he?" she asked politely as Haruhi looked up.

She smiled, "He is doing better."

The nurse smiled back. "Good." she said quickly and went over to look at the monitor. She then turned back to Haruhi and Youta. "He should be released on Thursday." She paused. "His heart rate is normal and he seems a lot better."

Haruhi smiled and sighed with relief. It was Monday so it would not be long until he is back home. "Good job. I have been so worried." Youta smiled back at the happy girl at the side. She turned to him, "Isn't that great?" she asked with the same smile plastered on her face. He smiled back to her and nodded.

The nurse started to walk out and turned back while at the door. "If any problems occur please notify me." She asked and Haruhi nodded so she walked out the door.

Haruhi looked at her watch and noticed it was 12:30pm so it would be the schools lunch time by then. But she had to wonder, 'I wonder how Hikaru and Kaoru are doing...' Her thoughts only concerned them and no one else. After all, those two she saw more of then the others.

At school

Two identical twins, Hikaru and Kaoru were in the cafeteria sat on their usual seats. They were eating their meals at the same time. "I wonder how Haruhi is doing..." Hikaru started to say while still eating.

Kaoru smiled while at the side of him. He kept thinking the same. They both were going to the hospital a lot lately, near enough every day. They both were also trying to note things down from the classes so Haruhi would not flunk out in any. Since she does not want to get a bad grade in any class or she would not get a good career when she is older. Also because, Haruhi would not be very happy with both of them if she flunked. "Want to visit her again today?" He wondered as he took another bite out of his food.

Hikaru nodded eagerly. "sure!" He grinned. "I have these notes to give to her as well."

"Another excuse to visit her." Kaoru said with a smirk. They both nodded at each other, after that day was over they will visit her again. "I actually feel sorry for her as well..." He suddenly said as he was faced towards Hikaru. His face had dropped and was not smirking any more.

Hikaru nodded. "I know. I would not know what to do with myself if I lost you..." he sighed.

Kaoru was about to speak back but then a voice suddenly spoke out. "Hey guys." They looked up and noticed it was Ichirou. Hikaru sighed. Even though he told them the story about the past Hikaru was not very comfortable around him, perhaps because he seemed to know about Haruhi more then him. Kaoru never minded him because he never did anything wrong. "Are you planning on visiting Haruhi again today?" he wondered as he took the seat opposite of them.

"What's it to you..." Hikaru suddenly mumbled under his breath.

Kaoru heard him but Ichirou did not. "Excuse me?" he asked politely.

Kaoru shook his head, "Ignore him." he said suddenly. Ichirou turned and faced him. "Yeah we will be after school."

Ichirou grinned. "Cool, can I come? I need to tell her some great news."

Hikaru perked up suddenly then and looked forward at him. Kaoru was looking as well. They both raised an eyebrow. "What kind of news?" they asked in unison.

"It is about the jealous killer." he said suddenly.

Hikaru and Kaoru widened their eyes. "What about him?" they said in perfect unison again.

"I will tell you at the hospital. It is for Haruhi and Youta to hear as well since it concerns them. But right now we should head back. Lessons start soon." He said while standing up.

Hikaru grumbled and stood up with his tray and Kaoru followed.

Once in the classroom they sat down sighing. Ichirou's voice was suddenly heard. "Oh and Kyoya-senpai will be coming as well."

"How do you know him?" Hikaru suddenly asked.

"He was at the hospital remember." Ichirou announced. "I was actually speaking to him after I told Haruhi the story. He was the one who told me this certain news." he said seeming impressed. "He really has database for everything!" Hikaru and Kaoru nodded in understanding and turned their heads when someone announced that sensai was coming.

After school

Hikaru, Kaoru and Ichirou was at the gate of the school waiting for Kyoya to meet them. Hikaru and Kaoru kept thinking the same thing of what the news was about. They had hoped he meant that the killer had been caught. Or maybe better, killed. He would have the taste of his own medicine then. "What did he say he was doing?" Hikaru asked suddenly as he growled out of annoyance. He just wanted to see how Haruhi was doing but he had to wait for Kyoya to come.

"He said he was just going to check up on someone." Ichirou mentioned while still looking at the school entrance. Everyone from the school had long gone and they were the only ones on the school ground.

"Did he say what he was checking up on?" Kaoru said this time.

Ichirou shook his head. Then saw the figure coming out of the school building. "Oh, here he comes." he announced.

Hikaru and Kaoru looked and saw him but saw extra figures with him. They face palmed, "Oh no..."

"Were they the ones who came to the hospital as well?" Ichirou asked. But got no response. He took it as a yes.

It was Kyoya, Tamaki, Mori and Honey. They got up to the trio at the gate. "Sorry about this. They really wanted to see Haruhi as well." Kyoya mentioned while shaking his head and sighing.

"Yeah! I hope Haru-chan is doing ok!" Honey yelled while hugging his rabbit, Usa-chan.

"Don't forget. It was Youta who got hurt." Kyoya then announced. No one was listening so he sighed.

They all just nodded their heads. "I just really hope that my daughter is doing well!" Tamaki suddenly yelled. They were wondering when he was going to yell something crazy.

"I can understand you bringing them two." Hikaru pointed to Mori and Honey. "But why take this idiot?" he asked while pointing towards Tamaki who was in a day dream like always.

Kyoya shrugged. "He kept pestering me. First asked if I had any plans today. I told him about me visiting Haruhi and he kept going on and on. About all the things that she might suffer from so I just said fine about him coming."

Hikaru growled. "Fine... lets just go and hear this 'news' you had for us," he mentioned. They all had to tell the chauffeur to go without them and then they took Kyoya's limo instead.

Hospital

The 7 boys got into the hospital and were now walking towards the room of Youta. Before they managed to walk into the room, a nurse stopped them. "Excuse me. You all can not go in there at once." They turned and faced her, about to say something but stopped. "He is currently sleeping. The young lady who was in there has just gone out the room. She said she will be back shortly." The nurse then hurried past them.

"Suppose we should wait over here then." Kyoya said aloud as they all sat down on some seats outside the room.

No one spoke at first. It was too quiet as they waited. "What was that news you told us about?" Kaoru suddenly asked when he was turned facing Kyoya.

He sighed, "As I said. I will tell you when Haruhi is present as well." He nodded and looked back at his hands.

A few minutes later, "Uh, Guys?" a voice said above them, making them all perk up and look. "What are you doing here again?"

"Haruhi!" Tamaki suddenly yelled and jumped to his feet. "It is only natural that I should be here and see to how you are feeling!"

Haruhi groaned. "Don't forget... It was Youta who was hurt. Not me." She pointed out.

Kyoya sighed and held his head, "I tried to tell them..." he mumbled.

"How is he Haru-chan?" Honey suddenly said while still holding his Usa-chan.

She smiled. "He is doing very better now. The nurse said he should be out by Thursday."

All the boys sighed with relief. "That's good news," the twins said in unison.

"Sorry for barging in out of no where Haruhi," Kyoya then decided to mention. "It was going to be just me, Ichirou and the twins but suddenly these three joined as well."

Haruhi shook her head. "It's all right. But..." she then paused, "Why were you coming in the first place? When it's you it usually means you have important news."

Kyoya had a small smile plastered on his face. "That is true. You know me too well." he then began speaking again, "It concerns the person who killed your mother and injured your friend."

Haruhi gasped. "Really?" He nodded. "What do you know about him?" she asked really fast.

"Calm down. Maybe it would be best if we told Youta at the same time?" He asked.

"Well... he is kind of sleeping at the moment. But I can check to see if he is up yet..." Haruhi mentioned. They nodded in agreement as she went back into the room to see, but then poked her head back out. "Oh and not all of you can come in. So decide with each other who will be coming in." She then went back in the room to Youta.

Few minutes later, Youta was awake when Haruhi was in the room, she smiled. "Sorry about this but we will have some visitors."

He yawned and smiled back, "Ok, it's fine. I have been asleep long enough."

Once Haruhi turned back around, she came to two faces. It was Kyoya and Ichirou. Haruhi looked around them, "It's just us two Haruhi," Kyoya mentioned.

Ichirou nodded, "We thought it was best. Hikaru and Kaoru volunteered but... well..."

"It's really got nothing to do with them," Kyoya finished. Haruhi just nodded in understanding. "Have you told him why were here yet?"

She shook her head, "Not yet. He has only just woke up. I only told him we had visitors."

"Ok, lets get to it," Kyoya said as he went by Haruhi and sat on a chair besides the bed. Ichirou was opposite and Haruhi was next to him on a chair.

Youta looked confused and looked towards Kyoya, "What is this about?" he wondered.

"It involves the killer," once he said this, Youta's eyes widened.

"Go on," he urged him.

"Some of my..." he paused, "people... told me there have been someone hanging around the bushes just outside your home. Well, two to be exact."

"So, there are people working with him now?" Youta interrupted.

"It seems that way," Youta's face fell. "However..." he faced Kyoya again, "When they left the bushes, we tailed them to an abandoned home."

"Why not go in after them if was just 2?" Youta asked with raised eyebrow.

Kyoya sighed, "We can't chase in after them. What if it is a trap? What we really need now is a spy to sneak in without being noticed and to scout the place out." Youta just nodded, "You understand now?" he nodded again. "Good. That's really all we found out about him." Ichirou and Haruhi were quiet during it all. Kyoya then stood up, "When are you due to release?"

"Thursday," Haruhi interrupted Youta who was about to speak again.

Kyoya nodded, "I recommend that the twins should walk Haruhi to and from school. After all, they are in her class. But other then that, you must not go out at night, understand?" Haruhi nodded, "Good. Lets go Ichirou."

"Erm, can I stay here for a bit? My mum said she will be coming over for a visit and she can take me..." Ichirou mentioned still sat next to Haruhi.

"I understand. I will see you tomorrow." he then walked out. Just as he walked out everyone suddenly ran up to him for him to tell them what had happened. He just motioned with his hand for them to follow and explained on the way.
