Chapter Twenty-One.

After a few minutes of just slumped against a wall in the school, Hikaru finally managed to get himself up. He then began to walk to no where in specific. The meeting with the student body was still going on in the auditorium and Hikaru did find it rather odd that none of the faculty ran after him.
He eventually made it to the 3rd Music Room. Without thinking, he walked inside. He glanced around the room and snickered. "This is where Haruhi knocked over that vase... that vase, which permanently changed my life..." He then sat down and let out a large breath, "I don't understand... the club's been disbanded... so why did Tono come back?" He then shook his head, "I better go back to that dumb assembly."
~...~
After Tamaki yelled out, "EVERYONE! Don't listen to that sex-crazed man!", the auditorium got silent. Several girls were fascinated seeing Tamaki back, but were disappointed that he didn't want anyone to listen to Shinichi's words. To the females, Shinichi was an inspiration... mainly because he was about to debut in a huge band.
Kyoya pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and smirked, waiting to hear Tamaki's enlighting words. Mainly, he was hoping that Tamaki wouldn't sound just like his father on this matter.
Tamaki gave the audience a large, beaming smile and continued, "I may not have been here for the actual incident, but I have heard everything! Let's break down everything! During an average school day, something bizarre suddenly appears. A thing we call underwear. In this world, there are many places to have sex. But why? Why would someone destroy the purity of this school?! Why would someone taint the purity of the Host Club?! I, Suou Tamaki can't seem to grasp why anyone would want to go through such an ordeal! Allow me to elaborate! We all are wise, young, wonderful human beings! We all go through several different emotions! I understand the people are curious about sex... I understand what sex is. BUT! What I don't understand is why one would have sex before marriage! Don't you all want to be loved and share your love with only one person? Having sex before your married is-"
At that moment in time, Hikaru, who overheard the part of Tamaki's speech starting at 'underwear', rose his voice, "Shut it, Tono."
Tamaki froze in place and looked for the twin that just said that. Hikaru then walked onto the stage, "Tono... I understand that you're into purity and all that... but come to your senses. What's wrong with sex before marriage? Why are adults so disturbed by it?" Tamaki stared in disbelief, "But... you're... a Host Club member... sex shouldn't ever cross your mind..."
Hikaru frowned, "Tono. I was a host... and even if I was still a host, sex does cross my mind. I'm a teenage guy! If you're not at least interested in sex at this age, then there's something wrong with you." Tamaki didn't know what to say, or how to react to that statement. Hikaru continued, completely forgetting that he was speaking in front of the entire student body, "I've never done it, but I want to! I want to have sex... with that special someone. But, I don't need to wait until marriage. I... I want to have sex when the both of us are ready... me and... that person... Sex is something that is discussed with by both people. That's why... it's called making love."
Principal Suou took the microphone from Tamaki and shook his head, "Tamaki... and uhh..." Hikaru could tell that the Principal didn't know which twin was speaking, "It's Hikaru." "Yes... Hikaru, if you both would please sit back down..." The two made it back to their seats in the auditorium.
The Principal then called over the Vice Principal to give the speech. "At our school, adultery and juvenile sex is prohibited! I repeat! Adultery and juvenile sex is prohibited! Those who break this rule will be severely punished! Remember that!"
The entire student body wasn't thrilled with another speech, so they began to talk among themselves.
"So, in the end... you did it and ran?"
The voices of students talking about sex enveloped in Tamaki's ears. He couldn't believe how sex-crazed Ouran had become. He never knew that the majority of Ouran was going off having sex.
"Your current Principal has never been shamed like this..." The speech continued on and on. It continued until the end of the school day.
Haruhi looked at Hikaru and Kaoru and smiled, "Well, I have to get to the store... I'll see you two tomorrow." She then rushed off.
Kaoru wrapped an arm around Hikaru, "What triggered you to get so emotional earlier?"
Hikaru raised an eyebrow, "Emotional?"
"Yeah... talking about your view on sex... it certainly surprised Tono..."
Hikaru bit the bottom of his lips, "That's why. Because it was Tono, I had to say it."
Kaoru smirked, "I found it admirable... that you were able to say all that infront of the woman that you like."
Hikaru froze still, his eyes wide open. I said all that infront of Haruhi... I said all of that... I hope that she doesn't detest me... What if she's against sex before marriage... if she is... then I'll have no chance getting with her...
Hikaru then let out a laugh, "What are you talking about Kaoru? You say strange things sometimes. Let's head home!"

After the assembly, Kyoya waited outside for Tamaki to appear. Instead of just Tamaki appearing, he was greeted with both Tamaki and Eclaire. Kyoya frowned for a split second, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Eclaire." Eclaire smiled, "The pleasure is all mine." Kyoya gave Tamaki a look of 'why the hell did you bring her here'. Tamaki smiled towards Kyoya, "Kyoya! Wonderful news! The two of us are now studying at Ouran! So there's no need for you to be lonely without me anymore!" Kyoya smiled, "Of course... well, I hate to keep this conversation short, but it seems that I'm busy tonight. I'll talk to you some other time." With that said, he left.
Tamaki watched as his best friend walked away. He knew that Kyoya lied directly to his face about being busy. He had no clue why though. So, he turned towards Eclaire, "I'll see you at dinner." And ran to catch up with Kyoya, "Kyoya!"
Once he caught up, he looked at Kyoya, "What's going on? I thought that you wanted to talk to me." Kyoya nodded, "I did. I wanted to talk to you. Not your little fiance. What is she doing here anyways?" Tamaki smiled, "She wanted to stay by my side... since we're engaged and all... isn't that cute?" Kyoya stopped dead in his tracks, "Are you serious about the engagement?" Tamaki nodded, "Mother is very pleased with our engagement... and... Eclaire really isn't a bad person. She's different from most women, but she's not that bad." Kyoya shrugged, "If that's the case... then you're perfectly fine with Haruhi dating someone." Tamaki's eyes widened, "Haruhi?" Kyoya nodded, "It seems that she recently went on a date with Kaoru. Of course, her dating shouldn't bother you, considering that you're happily engaged."
Tamaki thought for a moment, "She actually went on a date with one of the devils?" Kyoya nodded, "She did; however, that won't be happening again." Tamaki let out a sigh of relief, "Oh good... Daddy wouldn't be happy if she got involved with one of them." Kyoya smirked, "Instead, the plan is for Haruhi to be with me." Tamaki took a step back with surprise, "Kyoya... since when did you-" Before Tamaki could ask the full question, Kyoya spoke, "I've always had an interest in Haruhi; however, I was waiting to see if someone was ok with it before I made a true move." Tamaki blinked a few times, completely confused, "Someone? Who?" Kyoya smirked, "Naturally I need the father's approval before making a move." Tamaki thought for a few moments. He hadn't seen Haruhi in so long and he never once forgot about her. Yet, he always thought of her as a daughter. Every ounce of love for her is as a father... or so that's what he thinks.
The thought of Haruhi dating Kyoya bothered him. My best friend and my daughter... why does this bother me so much? I... I should say yes... I need to say yes. I MUST SAY YES. THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS YES.
"No."
Kyoya raised an eyebrow, "Why can't I date her?"
Tamaki wanted a good reason, yet he had nothing, "Uhh... err... well..."
Kyoya then gave a dark look towards his friend, "Then you leave me no choice..." A dark smirk appeared on his face, "I'll win Haruhi over without your approval then."
Tamaki was frozen by the cold glare he received from Kyoya. He shivered.
Kyoya then smiled towards Tamaki, "How about you come over to my house for a bit to get caught up." Tamaki nodded and followed Kyoya.

After grabbing some groceries, Haruhi laid on her bed and stared up at the ceiling, "Tamaki-sempai really came back... he's back...Why am I having conflicted feelings about him right now?"
