Chapter 21: Chaos
As Haruhi and Yasuchika pulled away from each other, silence surrounded everything as they turned and saw Tamaki standing at the bottom of the stairs, seemingly frozen in place. Hikaru looked like he was ready to kill someone and Kaoru looked sad but not murderous. Behind them, Kyoya stood with his glasses pushed up to the top of his nose.
"Oh no." Haruhi said. As if moving out of the desire to survive, Haruhi quickly opened her apartment door and pulled Yasuchika into the apartment with her then shut and locked the door.
"Okay I have a plan." Haruhi said. Yasuchika looked at her strangely.
"I know that you have to deal with three idiots, but don't you think that you could be over reacting a little bit." He said in his normal detached voice. Haruhi just looked at him.
"I know you don't know me that well, so just trust me on this. I will get my dad and we can invite them in. I just have to put anything breakable away and then we need to keep Tamaki away from the closet." Haruhi said and left Yasuchika in the kitchen and she went and got her dad. They hid everything breakable. Yasuchika was surprised that Ranka did not need any coaxing at all. That made him wonder and he helped them finish putting everything away. As if on cue, there was loud pounding at the door.
"Haruhi! Let your daddy in! I'll protect you from Yasuchika!" Tamaki yelled. Haruhi looked to her dad and he went and opened the door. In a flash, Tamaki went around Ranka and straight to Haruhi. Yasuchika was quick enough to trip him before he got to Haruhi. He went and stood next to Haruhi and Ranka did as well, forming a shelter for Haruhi.
"Haruhi, how can you let him do that to daddy? I just want to protect you from him." Tamaki said as he sat up.
"Suoh you are not her father! Are you trying to say that I am not a good enough father for her?" Ranka shouted and squashed his face into the floor for a few moments. After he thought that Tamaki had had enough, he removed his foot from Tamaki's head and stood next to Haruhi. By that time, the other three hosts had entered the small apartment.
"I apologize for disturbing your evening Ranka." Kyoya said.
"It is okay Kyoya. It is not your fault that you have an incompetent club president." Ranka said. Hikaru and Kaoru would have normally taken that opportunity to tease Tamaki, but instead they just stood there quietly and looked from Haruhi to Yasuchika. Kaoru then spoke up.
"Haruhi, are you and Yasuchika... are you dating?" Kaoru asked in a quiet voice. Haruhi looked to Yasuchika who nodded slightly.
"Yes Kaoru, we have been dating for about a week." Haruhi said. Kaoru looked hurt. Hikaru still looked angry.
"You can't date him Haruhi, he's mean and rough. He'll take advantage of you." Tamaki said.
"Tamaki do not speak about him like that and he will not take advantage of me! Also, you can't tell me what to do or who I can date!" Haruhi said angrily. Tamaki made a beeline for the closet, but Yasuchika remembered what Haruhi had said and he stepped in front of the closet door. Tamaki was instantly intimidated and he froze.
"Maybe the king is right for once Haruhi! Yasuchika isn't good enough for you! You shouldn't need a boyfriend, you have us!" Hikaru yelled. Haruhi looked shocked, even though she had been expecting some sort of outburst. She tried to keep a straight face.
"I really like Yasuchika and you cannot decide who is good enough for me! I thought you were all my friends, but now you are trying to separate me from someone who makes me happy! I thought that maybe you could understand, or be happy for me!" Haruhi raged. Tears threatened to leave her eyes, but she held them back and tried to stay strong. She looked at Tamaki.
"Tamaki you should know that I would never be with someone who would take advantage of me or treat me badly!" she shouted then turned to Hikaru. "And you Hikaru, you should respect me as a friend and understand that I can have other people in my life besides the host club!" Haruhi was very upset.
"Now, I have some homework to do, so please leave." Haruhi said then walked away and into her room. Tamaki got up ready to follow her, but Yasuchika and Ranka guarded the small hallway.
"But I just want to apologize." Tamaki said.
"You can apologize to her tomorrow." Yasuchika said simply, but he glared at Tamaki.
"Tamaki we have disturbed their evening, we should go." Kyoya said and dragged Tamaki out the door and down to the limo. The twins looked at Yasuchika and Ranka then left. The sound of the limo leaving could be heard and Ranka and Yasuchika relaxed.
"Can I go check on her Ranka-san?" Yasuchika asked.
"Of course. I'll be eating in here if you need anything." Ranka said. Yasuchika went down the short hallway and opened Haruhi's door to see Haruhi sitting on her bed crying quietly, making it a point to not let out loud sobs. Yasuchika stepped into the room, not quite sure of how to comfort her. She heard his footsteps and quickly wiped her eyes. Yasuchika sat next to her on her bed. He knew that she needed to talk, and he was ready to listen.
