Haruhi was working quietly with Yumiko sitting nearby when her phone went off. Looking at it she threw the phone against the wall. "What is it Haruhi?" "My grandfather. I'm still upset at him and refuse to talk to him," she said. Yumiko got up and sat down next to her. "You know maybe you should try and talk to him he could have changed." Shaking her head, she got up. "You don't understand Yumiko. He will do things to make me listen." Yumiko started to laugh earning a glare from Haruhi. "Listen I'll be back later so try and stay calm until then. Haruhi gave her a questioning look, but nodded and returned to her homework.
A few hours later Yumiko returned with Tomoe looking very disgruntled. "Why is he here?" "Miss Young made a valid point that by forcing you to change schools I may be doing things the same way I did thirty years ago that forced Kotomo to run away from home. I'm sorry Haruhi can you forgive me?" She looked at him and smiled. Walking up she gave him a hug. "Of course, we are family after all, but you really need to learn to compromise. I'll make you a deal I will finish up the school year at Ouran and continue to work through the summer to graduate and attend Lobelia for the etiquette classes in the fall. Does that sound fair?" He nodded and she walked down the hall to Kyoyas office. He was writing at his desk when she knocked. "Come in…" She stepped in to see him writing in his workbook for school. "What can I do for you Haruhi?" "Would you mind if I joined you in your class sessions?"
"Haruhi why would you need to join me in my class sessions?" he asked. "Because I made a promise to my grandpa and I need to graduate Ouran by the end of the summer." He nodded and told her to take a seat. "Here take this. These are from my classes at the beginning of the year. If you have any questions I can answer them for you." She smiled as she started to work on her next classes. By the time three rolled around they had fallen asleep. It wasn't until Tamaki ran in the room and started shouting that the two woke up. Growling Kyoya threw a book at him. "Tamaki how many times have I told you not to disturb me when I'm sleeping." "But Mommy how can I not when you and I darling daughter are to be married in such a short amount of time. There is so much to do! Come we must go chose a venue," he said excitedly.
Shaking her head Haruhi got up and pulled Tamaki out before Kyoya decided to throw anything else. "Tamaki-Sempai can I ask you something." He got all serious as she walked out to the terrace. "What is Haruhi?" "Do you think I'll make Kyoya happy? I mean we were forced into this in the beginning, but now I worry I won't be able to be the person he wants me to be." Tamaki placed his arm around her. "Haruhi Haruhi Haruhi. Are you so concerned you can't see the man behind the host?" She looked at him as his brilliant Purple eyes smiled back at her. "He has been in love with you for so long and he would probably kill me if I told you this, but he used to talk about you all the time. He would constantly stare at you when you first arrived at Ouran before any of us…" Suddenly Tamaki was on the ground and Kyoya was standing on him. "Idiot, I told you before not to talk about that." Kyoya was red and grabbed Haruhis' arm. Pulling her into the garden he brought her over to the roses. "Kyoya why were you so embarrassed about that?" "Haruhi do you remember when you first set foot in Ouran you were still in middle school. I had been the first one to see you and I knew that you were that girl all those years ago." "Why didn't you come talk to me?" "I was afraid you would recognize me," he said.
Haruhi started to laugh. "Kyoya I had only seen you that day for a moment and I barely remember that day as it. I can't believe the shadow king is afraid of a woman." "That woman happens to be my future wife." She smiled and touched his face, "Kyoya I think I get what my dad meant now. We should stop being independent and lean on each other. We may want to be our own person, but we need to remember that we are each going to be there for each other from now on." He smiled and they heard the twins torturing Tamaki. "We should probably go help him," said Haruhi. "We could or we could go join them." Kyoya ran ahead of her and started helping the twins as she went to help Tamaki. Eventually it turned into a water fight as the twins had found the garden hoses. Tamaki and Haruhi were soaked by the time everyone was ready to go home. After drying off everyone said their good-byes and Tamaki gave Haruhi a ride home.
"Haruhi…" "Yes?" "Can you help me surprise Kyoya? We all want to throw him a Bachelor party." She grinned and shook her head. "You realize he will probably kill you right?" she asked. Tamaki gave his award-winning grin and she laughed before agreeing to help. When they arrived at the Katayama residence she invited him in, but Tamaki declined saying he didn't want to risk Ranka seeing him. Laughing she bid him goodnight and walked into the house.
