6 months later..
(Yukiya POV)
"I can't believe that baboon!" I screamed as I took a seat in front of the petite girl, seated calmly in the coffee shop.
"A sorry would be nice. I've been waiting here for at least half an hour," Haruhi said, putting down her drink on the table.
I ignored her comment and continued my rant. "For heaven's sake, why did he always do the kind of thing that will make me angry?"
"Kyouya-senpai?" she guessed, and when I slowly nodded, she leaned back in her chair and asked, "What did he do this time?"
I sighed heavily. "It's Valentine's Day today."
Haruhi raised her eyebrow. "Yep, and I failed to see how that fact is making you angry."
"My grandmother wanted to have dinner with the whole family, Kyouya and I included," I answered, letting a loud groan at the same time.
"And how is that Kyouya-senpai's fault?"
"He said YES, Haruhi-chan, knowing that today is Valentine's Day! Stupid baboon!"
"Who's the baboon?" another voice interrupted. I looked up to see Kasumi staring at me with great interest. Putting her bag down, she seated herself in the vacant seat right beside Haruhi. "So, what are you guys talking about so animatedly?"
"Arghhh… This is so annoying."
Kasumi directed a confused glance toward Haruhi. "Anybody want to explain what actually happened? I'm lost." Haruhi took the initiative to explain it as tersely as she possibly could. "Valentine's Day. Need to have dinner with her grandmother. Kyouya-senpai said yes."
Kasumi laughed. "Kyouya-san did? That sounds a lot like something he would do. Then, what are you going to do?"
"I'm not going, of course."
"Are you serious? Then, how about Kyouya-san?" Kasumi asked, slightly alarmed with my response.
I huffed. "If he wanted to go see my grandmother so much, then he can go by himself. He's the one who said yes, not me."
"You know, I really feel like stabbing my eyeballs with fork right now," I paused, before I cringed at the thought, "Okay, that's such a depressing thought. Can we talk about something less depressing?"
Kasumi chuckled, knowing how much this matter affect me. "Okay, okay. So, Haruhi-chan, you don't have any plan today?"
"Yeah, since you have no plan today, why don't we just spend the whole day together?" I interjected.
"Why are you asking me? I have plan after this," she responded, seeming uninterested with the entire conversation.
My jaw almost dropped onto the ground, hearing that coming from her. "What? What'd you mean you have plan?"
"Well, it's not exactly a plan. I would rather call it a bother," she said, before continuing, "Well, Tamaki-senpai's dad asked me to accompany Tamaki-senpai to see his grandmother at the Suou Main House tonight. Seeing that I'm under the family scholarship, I figure a no is not exactly in the list of response."
"Oh? For the Suou Family Annual Celebration, is it?" I asked.
Haruhi nodded. "I'm surprised that none of you are going."
I huffed. "Who wanted to go to see that old woman? Honestly, she annoys me. Who give her the right to treat Tamaki-senpai the way she did at our school festival?"
"Whatever it is for, it does sound like a date to me.." Kasumi chirped in with a silly grin on her face.
Haruhi snorted. "Date? Are you kidding me? I don't think he would even consider of bringing me if his father hadn't suggested it to him. After all, he has all the beauties in our school who are more than willing to go with him."
Oh God! Can she be anymore blind? Yeah, of course he has ten girls practically begging for his attention, but what would that matter if the one he truly likes didn't even spare him a glance? I honestly felt sorry for Tamaki-senpai.
"Kasumi, you must have something good planned out with Kaoru, right?"
"Yes, she did," the much anticipated (not!) voice suddenly interrupted. Unwillingly, I turned around to see Kaoru standing right behind me. Kaoru gave me a bright smile, "And if you guys don't mind, I'm going to sweep my girlfriend off her feet.."
That comment alone was enough to make Kasumi blushed like a tomato dipped in tomato sauce. Well, I know that I am not making much of a sense, but just go along with me on this one. As if it was not enough, Kaoru shamelessly dipped his head down and kissed Kasumi on her lips.
Instinctively, I closed my eyes and made a disgusted face. "Please guys, this is a public place. No unnecessary sweeping is allowed!"
"Awww.. Don't be cranky just because you don't get to do this with your beloved Kyouya-senpai," Kaoru teased, licking his lips after the kiss. Kasumi, on the other hand, said nothing but blushed.
"By the way, where's Hikaru?" I asked, quite surprised for the unusual absence of the said man.
"He's in LA, visiting Riku-cchi."
I perked up when I heard that. "Oh, they finally get their act together and actually going out?"
Kaoru shrugged. "I wish, but he told me a while ago that he is kinda interested in one of our mom's model. He sure gave me the shock of my life."
"WHAT?! Are you serious? Since when?"
"Around one month, I guess," Haruhi suddenly answered on Kaoru's behalf. "Tamaki-senpai told me that he bumped into them once at a restaurant."
I gave both Haruhi and Kaoru a dirty look. "How come you guys never mentioned this to me before?"
"I personally don't think that there's a need for it," Haruhi replied. "You have too much problem on your own."
Kaoru laughed as I fumed. "Kasumi, we have to go now. We can't be late for the reservation I made," he said.
Haruhi and I just watched as Kasumi was dragged away by Kaoru out of the coffee shop. "Aah.. They look so happy. I'm so envious of them.." I said, before turning my attention from the couple to Haruhi again. "So, that leave the two of us, I guess."
"Make that the only one. I have to go now. As much as it troubles me, I need to go pick up a dress or something for tonight," Haruhi announced, going through her purse to pay for the drinks.
"You're leaving me alone?"
"Yup," she answered me simply, standing up from her seat.
I pouted. "I lead a very lonesome life.."
She quirked her eyebrows, looking pretty much amused with my reaction. "Here is a suggestion, Yukiya. If you want to see Kyouya-senpai so badly, why don't you just go to the dinner tonight? I'm sure it is not going to be as bad as you make it out to be."
That left me stunned at my seat, but I recovered just as fast. "You know I won't do that, right?"
She flashed me a mischievous smile. "Happy celebrating the Valentine's Day alone then," she said, leaving me to spend my pathetic day alone at the coffee shop.

Mikihara Mansion
8.30 pm
"So, the deal is secured?"
"Yes, Yukiya. No matter how many times you asked me, you will still get the same answer. So, stop calling me! I'm on a date with my fiancée," Hideki yelled from the other side of the line.
"Sheesh, I was just trying to make sure of all the information on the file. Don't be such a spoilsport!"
"Seriously, Yukiya. Even if you're not happy with your own life, try not to involve other people too. I'm going now, and if you call me again for this kind of inane questions, I swear that I'm going to hurt you so bad the next time I see you!" Then, he rudely hung up the phone.
I stared at the phone is disbelief. "Argh.. even Hideki is on a date? This is unbelievable!" Resting my chin on the back of my palm, I stared at the paperwork in front of me. Slowly, my thought drifted to the handsome Shadow King and soon, I felt myself letting out a loud, audible sigh.
I had to admit that going out with Kyouya wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. During the six months we've been so-called officially going out, we never really go out for a decent date, except for the occasionally celebrations and parties, which is mainly reserved for business purposes. That was why until now; I still have my doubt about the true nature of my relationship to Kyouya.
"Mikihara Yukiya.."
A woman voice shook me out of my thought. Almost abruptly, I stood up from my seat in the garden to come face to face with the angry woman in front of me.
"Mom?"
"Yukiya, don't you dare to mom me! Why are you still in your pajama?"
"I'm not going to the dinner." I sat back down on the seat and opened one of the folders on the table, as if to prove my point.
"What'd you mean you're not going?"
"It just meant that I'm going to stay here," I clarified, without even bothering to look up.
"Yukiya, please get dressed. We're leaving in half an hour," my mom said sternly, she looked slightly annoyed with my stubbornness.
"I told you I'm not going. I have too much work to attend to," I answered.
"Yukiya.." I notice that my mother's voice has raised a couple of notch higher, indicating that she was angry with me. "Get dressed!"

Mikihara Main House
9.30 pm
I should've known that there is no way I can win a fight against my mother. She can be the gentlest person in the world, but when she wants to, she can be as scary as my grandmother – or even scarier.
The moment we got to the main house, we were greeted by the maids. And as soon as I stepped into the dining hall, my gaze was met with Kyouya's. Almost immediately, I averted my gaze to my grandmother. I bowed my head slightly as a sign of respect to my grandmother and other relatives present before taking my place beside my mom, directly opposite to Kyouya.
"Why don't you sit beside Kyouya?" my mother asked.
I saw Kyouya almost smirk at the question, which immediately made my blood boil. "I just feel like sitting here. Thanks for the concern, mom," I answered, gritting my teeth in annoyance.
"So, Yukiya, Kyouya.." my grandmother broke the silence, "I hope both of you are doing fine."
Focusing my gaze on the tableware in front of me, I answered silently, "Yes, grandma."
"Thank you for the concern, Mrs. Mikihara," I heard the source of my anger answered.
"Our ties with Ootori Family has been somewhat severed.."
I was taken aback that my grandmother suddenly brought up the subject. After the dramatic event that occurred six months ago – the annulment of my engagement with Akito – I knew that this crisis was pretty much inevitable. It just surprised me that my grandmother decided to bring up the subject tonight.
My grandmother directed her glance to Kyouya. "I believe you also know about this, seeing that you're partially responsible for this to happen."
"Grandma!" I stood up from my seat, as a sign of protest. My mom, on the other hand, just placed her hands around my wrist to pull me down. "But mom.." She shook her head, as if silently asked me to sit back down onto my seat.
"Yes," he answered simply.
"It's not his fault, grandma. Stop blaming other people," I added.
"Silent, Yukiya!" my grandmother answered. "I wish to settle this with Kyouya!"
I felt the anger brewed in my system, but I knew better than to defy my grandmother. Therefore, I just stayed silent in my seat as the interrogation went on.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, Kyouya, but you've gotten into a fight with your father."
He had gotten a fight with his father? Why didn't I know that?
Kyouya nodded. "Yes, I believe I did, but I don't see t-"
"And you have been staying with Suou since then, right?" my grandmother intervened, her sharp gaze drifted to Kyouya.
I gasped. "What? I never heard of this!"
I braved a glance at the black-haired man. He seemed calm despite knowing the nature of the question. Chuckling quietly, he answered, "News sure travel fast."
My grandmother snorted at his calm attitude. "Then, you're expecting me to just give my granddaughter to you despite your current condition?"
I stood up abruptly from my seat. "That's enough!" I said, suddenly feeling sick from the pit of my stomach. Without further due, I left the dining hall – headed toward the balcony all by myself.
"Yukiya.." came a soft voice from behind my back – one that never ceased to make the butterflies in my stomach to double their activities.
Without bothering to turn around, I answered, "Yes?"
I bit my lips as I felt he was closing the distance between us. Trying the ignore the warm presence beside me, I focused my gaze onto the lake behind the mansion.
He laughed after five minutes being the receiving end of my silent treatment. "You're not going to make it easy for me, aren't you?"
I scowled. "What do you think?"
"I rather not make any assumption."
My frown deepened. "You're not taking me very seriously," I paused, before continuing, "Oh, wait a minute. On a second though, you never take me seriously! You never trust me with anything!"
He raised his eyebrows at my sudden seriousness. All of a sudden, he pulled me toward him, bent down and brushed his lips lightly across mine. Okay it wasn't really a kiss, but oh God…it made my heart beat increase dramatically.
"Do you really think that?" he said, smirking at me.
Usually, my mind would've turned into a mush once he kissed me, but I refused to let him do that to me this time. I pushed him away and answered him sternly, "Yes, I do think that."
I was almost taken aback when he let out a sigh. Kyouya never sigh, I thought silently to myself.
"Yukiya, just come here…" he said, almost pleadingly.
"Why should I?"
Rubbing his temple slightly, he took a step to reach the spot where I was fixated at. He then took my hands into his, squeezing it softly. "It's a main principle of business – never let others know of your weakness."
"So, to you, I'm just the others who do not deserve to know at least that much about you? For heaven's sake, you got into a fight with your father and moving into Tamaki-senpai's house! Who are you to deprive me of that information?"
"You're misinterpreting everything.." he muttered.
"Then, tell me so I won't misinterpret!"
Without warning, he pulled me into a hug. Naturally, I blushed red at the sudden interaction, at the same trying to get myself out of his embrace.
Nestling his head in the crook of my neck, he mumbled, "I don't you to get worried." I tried to extricate myself out of his embrace, and yet again failed as his arms tightened around me. "Just let me worried about my own matter."
I buried my face into his chest. "But I want to help. I want to be there for you."
He laughed again. "Then, let's just stay here like this for a while."
"It's getting cold.. and you're acting strange," I commented.
He smirked. "Only for you, Yukiya."
I punched his arms jokingly. "Oh, just shut up, romeo. You're ruining the moment."
We broke apart from one another as soon as we heard a person cleared his/her throat.
"Are you guys done with the romantic moment?" I found my mom standing at the doorway to the balcony. "Your grandmother still hasn't finished."
I sighed. This will be a long, long night.

A month later..
"Hideki, I've got go back earlier today. Can I leave the rest of the report to you?" I directed my glance to the brown-haired guy who was sitting comfortably in the seat right in front of me.
He shrugged. "Yeah, sure. You have another meeting scheduled today, is it?"
I shook my head. "Nah, I just gonna pay Tamaki-senpai a visit."
He gave me a rather suggestive glance. "Oh, in other word, you have a date with your boyfriend, right?"
I blushed red at his comment. "Just shut up!"
"But then again, are you sure you want to leave me here with all those important documents?" he said, pointing to the folders on my table. "I might try to steal it and take the over the company, you know."
I laughed. "Aww.. Are you sure you want to do that? You fiancée might get angry. After all, she likes me a lot, you know."
He gave me a dirty look. "Haha.. Very funny, Yukiya."
I chuckled. "I still can't believe that you fall for her for real! I thought you said that she's just a toy to you.."
"Shut up! If you say one more thing, I swear that I'm not going to help anymore."
"Okay, fine. I'm going. Just-"
"-finish up before tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm not stupid."
I smiled. Gathering all my stuff into my bag, I left the office.
: o : o : o : o : o :
Suou Mansion
"Hey, Yukiya.." Tamaki-senpai greeted me as soon as I arrived at the mansion. "Kyouya is in his room."
"Oh, thanks!" I said as I quickly made my way up the stairs into the Shadow King's room. Without even bothering to knock on the door, I went into his room to find him reading a book on the couch.
Upon seeing me, he dropped the book onto the coffee table beside him, and got onto his feet to greet me. Placing a chaste kiss onto my cheek, he said, "Hey.."
I would've paid more attention to him if it wasn't for the dozens of boxes lying around on the floor of his room. I swore that I have help him unpacked everything three weeks ago.
"What's with all the boxes?" I asked, giving him a confused look.
A small grin played on his face. "I'm moving."
I gasped. "What? And just when are you planning to tell me about this?"
"You'll know sooner or later," he answered.
"What?!" I asked, still deeply puzzled.
"I'm moving into your house, Yukiya," he said, smirking and gauging my reaction. "After all, we don't need two separate houses."
My eyes widened at his suggestion. "What?!"
"I know that you've heard me the first time."
"But.. But.. grandma woul-"
"She doesn't mind. And your mother gives me a green light – at least that's what she said to me. After all, you're leaving there alone by yourself; I don't see any problem with this."
Oh my God, is this for real? He's moving into my house?
"That's the whole problem," I paused, "So, it's just going to be us!"
"So?"
I blushed. "So.. So.."
"You've just thought of something perverted in your mind, aren't you?" he said, his voice suddenly became seductive. He sat back onto the couch, and pulled me down with him so that I sat on his lap. Pulling me closer to him, he brushed his lips against mine and…
"Ah, I knew it! Dono, they're up for something dirty!" Hikaru and Kaoru yelled from the doorway. Almost automatically, I broke away from Kyouya and blushed profusely, while the Shadow King smirked.
"Kaoru, Hikaru, don't bother them!" Tamaki-senpai replied calmly.
Kyouya stood up from his seat and went toward the twins. He pushed the twins outside the room and swiftly locked the door to his room. He then walked toward me and pulled me toward him. "So, shall we continue?" he asked as he bent down and took my lips with his.
I swore that his kiss tasted like heaven.
FIN –
Authoress' note : Okay, that's it! Sorry again for the long wait. It has been almost 4 months right? Anyhow, I finally completed the first torturous semester here in University of Michigan. I have only one week break before the new Spring semester started, so before I enjoy the rest of my holiday, I figure that I need to get this story out of my system. So, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.
The sequel won't be out anytime soon. But seeing the result of the poll (almost all of you voted to see KyouyaxYukiya again), the main characters of the sequel will probably be KyouyaxYukiya (again!) and HikaruxRiku. I dropped a hint in this epilogue about Hikaru (interested with a model), so surely there'll be a crisis between him and Riku. Surely, there'll be more KaoruxKasumi as well as TamakixHaruhi (I just can't wait to write about them!)..
So, I guess that's it..
I'm signing out
Your lovely authoress,
