Kyoya went from just gazing out the window without a care in the world to giving a death stare to Hikaru for shoving Haruhi into the car.

"Mon Ami What is wrong?" Tamaki was somewhat concerned more than the others. After knowing Kyoya all this time he has never once seen him so frightened, worried, and angry.

"Tamaki we need to borrow your driver."

"There is no problem but why?"

"Hikaru, he kidnapped Haruhi just now. I just saw it and it seemed like she was going willingly but then Hikaru had pushed her into the car."

"We all kind of figured that Kyoya-Sempai," said Kaoru.

"We did?" said Tamaki.

"Well most of us," said Kaoru.

"Hey Kyoya," Mori spoke up

"What is it Mori-Sempai, we need to go now!"

"Mitskuni and I will go with you."

Relief washing over Kyoya for some reason. He simply nodded, then felt Kaoru tug on his sleeve. "Kyoya let me come with you. I wish to try and talk some sense into Hikaru..."

"Very well we are all going then." Everyone nodded then Tamaki spoke up.

"Well let's go everyone, we have to rescue Kyoya's future bride!"

Kyoya now had a deep shade of red as they all ran downstairs to Tamaki's driver. "Tamaki, why did you say that?"

Tamaki simply smiled and looked at him with deep blue eyes. "Because I know she will be. It may not be tomorrow, next week, next month, or even next year, but someday you will marry her because she is your other half. Mon Ami, you will never find a girl like that in the entire world."

Kyoya noticed the slightly saddened tone in his voice and remembered that Tamaki is letting him have Haruhi. "Tamaki, I promise I will protect her even after graduation."

"Oh, Kyoya...You still don't get it do you?"

"Get what?" They finally got into the car and Tamaki told the driver to go to the Hitachiin mansion.

Tamaki turned towards Kyoya and put his hands on his shoulder making sure that the others couldn't hear them but then again they were to worried about Haruhi to hear anything else but the wind in their face from looking out the window. "Haruhi is special to us all. Nothing will keep us from protecting her. Not distance, not money, not social status, and certainly not graduation."

"I-I understand. May I ask you something?"

"Of course" Tamaki said taking his hands off of Kyoya's shoulders.

"What is the real reason you are letting me have Haruhi?"

"Well...because I notice what she does for you. Tell me Kyoya. Whenever you with her, are you ever concerned about being the third son in your family?"

It then hit him. He was no longer concerned with being the third son, of his father's wrath, or of any consequences that may come with being with her, but he still needed to know one thing. "Tamaki you were the first of us to love her, she made you happy, you worry about her if she even gets the slightest scratch. So why wouldn't you jump at the opportunity at having Haruhi for yourself?"

Tamaki sighed, "That's because..."

"Kyoya, Tamaki we are here." Mori said interrupting Tamaki.

They all jumped out of the car and saw that the car wasn't there. When they got to the door and asked where Hikaru was the maids said that he wasn't there. Then Kaoru's phone rang. He answered it already knowing who it is.

"Hikaru what have you done with Haruhi?!" At that moment he put Hikaru on speaker so everyone could hear.

"She can't hear what I am about to say. Right now I am on the other side of door. I promised her I would tell you where she is thinking that you wouldn't want to come because you are currently angry with me, and..."

"You idiot! This is why mom is in an interrogation! They assumed she would do this, now how is she going to clear her name!? You idiot! Give Haruhi back right now! Where are you!?" Hearing silence and a small quickened breath he thought that maybe Hikaru had come to his senses.

"Well in a way this clears her name because now I am the one who took her and it's not like I'm harming her. I just want to spend time with her. I want to be with her...I-I love her Kaoru."

"No you don't! You only think you love her!" Realizing yelling wasn't helping he calmed his voice. "Hikaru other than telling us apart, keeping us from killing each other, and treating us like individuals what is there that you like about her?"

Ignoring the question, he replied... "Let's play a game Kaoru. The rest of you play along too. I know the Senpais' are there. I will give you a riddle and every 10 minutes I will call back with another riddle. You have 10 minutes for each riddle. If I give you more than three riddles then I will take Haruhi somewhere else and then you are on your own."

"This isn't funny Hikaru we will not play your..."

Kyoya spoke up. "Give us the first riddle I want MY Haruhi back." Unknown to him there was a smirking Tamaki behind him with a very proud look on his face.

"Very well. I am in one of the host's mansions yet I am also not in one of the host's mansions at the same time. There you go that is your riddle bye bye now" Hikaru then hung up and as they all thought about the riddle Tamaki thought of something else. 'Well Mon Ami this is the reason. You need her like you need to breath, like you need food and water. She is your sanity, your every thought. If she were to trip you would catch her, If she were to fall ill you would pull out all the stops to make sure she gets better that day and if she were to be in any danger you would face that danger head on regardless of consequences. You need her more than I do.' Then he finally spoke up to answer the riddle.

"Oh Mon Ami?" He said in a sing-song voice.

"What Tamaki?" Replied an irritated Kyoya.

"Isn't it obvious where they are? He said "I am in one of the host's mansions yet I am also not in one of the host's mansions at the same time". Well we all have a mansion but Haruhi doesn't. Our first impression of her house was a mansion but then we were corrected by Kyoya. Also in a way it is Haruhi's mansion."

Kyoya was stunned and looked Tamaki in the eyes. "How...How did you figure that out?"

"Look just because I am the prince of the host club and a fool doesn't mean that am completely useless."

Kyoya smiled "You're right. Let's go get her."

They all smiled and left in the car.


"Hikaru, why did you want to come to my house?" Haruhi asked from the other side of her bedroom door.

"Well...I like it here." 'That and probably only Kyoya will figure that riddle out. We aren't in a mansion at all. I better think of the next riddle.'

"Hikaru," said Haruhi cautiously, "Do you want some tea to help you calm down?"

"Huh?" said Hikaru. He turned and saw her coming out in some regular clothes. As usual she looked really cute.

"I was just thinking you might still be upset over whatever happened to your mom is all," said Haruhi, "So if you want I can make you some tea to help you feel better."

"Oh sure," said Hikaru.

"So did you get a hold of Kaoru?" asked Haruhi.

"Oh yeah he said he may come by here," said Hikaru.

"So when will the full details about your mother's situation?" asked Haruhi.

"Oh I don't know," said Hikaru.

"Should you try calling your father? Is there anything he can do?" asked Haruhi.

"Uh that's a good idea," said Hikaru reaching for his phone.

"Okay," said Haruhi as she opened the fridge, "Oh dear it looks like we're out of milk."

"You are?" asked Hikaru.

"Yeah did you want some with your tea?" asked Haruhi.

"Well I do like milk with my tea," said Hikaru.

"Oh well luckily I haven't started the tea yet so if you want I can run down to the store and get some," said Haruhi.

"Hang on I'll go with you," said Hikaru, "I could use a good walk and a commoner's market place to distract me from my problems."

"Sure," said Haruhi grabbing her small purse.

The two walked out together and headed to the store. At first they two walked on in silence but Hikaru was trying desperately to figure out something to say to break the silence and try to get her to like him the way he was convinced he liked her.

"So," he started to say, only to be interrupted by his phone going off.

"Is that something about your mom?" asked Haruhi.

"Uh yeah," said Hikaru looking down at the caller ID that clearly read Kaoru, "I got to take this. Please feel free to go on without me."

"Uh sure," said Haruhi as she kept going.


At Haruhi's apartment Tamaki ran up and stated pounding at the door.

"Hikaru, Hikaru open up and let us in!" he shouted.

"Tamaki, if I may," said Kyoya a he unlocked the door.

"You got your own key to this place?" asked Hunny.

"Actually that's not too hard to believe," said Tamaki as they walked in. "Hikaru, where are you?!" He started shouting.

"He's not here," said Kaoru, "Neither is Haruhi. Oh god did we listen to the boss! This was all so stupid!"

"Calm down Kaoru, I think they were here," said Kyoya opening up the laundry hamper and showing Haruhi's uniform, "They must have left."

"Damn it Hikaru no!" moaned Kaoru as he pulled out his phone and called his brother again.

"Hello Kaoru," said Hikaru.

"Hikaru where are you?" Kaoru immediately asked.

"Where are you?" Hikaru replied.

"I'm at Haruhi's apartment with the others," said Kaoru putting his phone on speaker again.

"Oh you figured out the first riddle huh?" said Hikaru.

"Yes Hikaru, now where did you take Haruhi this time?" asked Kyoya. Hikaru could feel his skin getting hot with anger.

"You're ready for your next riddle?" he asked, "Alright I'll tell you. Haruhi and I in a place where food is available in an abundance but at a price."

"Oh, what price?" asked Kyoya.

"That's part of the riddle," said Hikaru before he hung up again.

"Food available but in abundance," said Kaoru, "what does that mean?"

"It doesn't make much sense," said Hunny.

"They're at the grocery store," said Tamaki.

"How did you figure that out Tama-Chan?" asked Hunny.

"Well there's a lot of food there but you have to pay for it before you can take it of course," said Tamaki.

"So let' head to the grocery store than," said Kyoya, "Hopefully we won't have to worry about some sort of scene and actually get Haruhi back without having to deal with the third riddle."
