Chapter 25: Misunderstanding Leads Here

'I said, yes. I. Will. Marry. You, got it?'

She giggled at his reaction. He looked exactly like he a fish hooked right out of the water, gasping for air. Then he blinked furiously & grinned widely as he scooped her up, hugging the air out of her.

'I never been so happy hearing someone said 'yes',' Kyouya whispered.

Haruhi smiled, cupping his face in her little hands, 'why would I say 'no'? I love you & I want you. No one can't change that,' She nuzzled his nose to his.

Kyouya smiled & leaned to close their distance. A sweet, gentle kiss full of love & happiness.

'Will you two ever stop smooching with each other? It's churning up my stomach!'

'Come on guys, you still have a lot of time for your make-out session, I'm starving here!'

The twins popped out in the room, watching them intently with devilish grins on their identical faces.

Haruhi pulled away, her face was red as tomato. Kyouya simply adjusted his glasses & sighed. Luckily for the twins, the shadow king was in a very good mood, they've saved their asses for some serious butt-whacking.

'Erm, we-we should get going. You're hungry, right? Come on!' She snatched Hikaru's hand & pulled Kyouya on the other & dragged them out. Kaoru watched a flustered Haruhi in amusement as he followed them.

Conversation between Kyouya & Haruhi while driving to the fancy restaurant:

H: Aren't we going to tell them?

K: That depends. If you want to, then "you" tell them.

H: Me? Why me? Youproposed to me.

K: Yousaid 'yes'.

H: *groans* you're impossible!

K: *smirks*

H: *sighed* can't we tell them together?

K: No.

H: WHY?!

K: I'm sure they will jump on the wrong floor with the word marriage in the same sentence as Haruhi's & my name.

H: Fine! I'll tell them. *crosses arms & glares out the window*

K: *sighs & mumbles* you're still oblivious to the situation.

H: *snaps at him* did you say something?

K: *shakes head & smirks* this will be interesting. I hope I'll survive with my whole being still intact.

The waitress led the host club in a room away from the other customer where they can talk privately. It has a traditional Japanese design; complete with paper walls & tatami mats. They served a lot of fancy Japanese dishes too.

Tamaki led the nonsense talking while the twins humored him. Mori-senpai & Hunny-senpai listened to them half-heartedly while our favorite couple stared at each other like they were having a telepathic conversation.

Haruhi groaned & her small fist landed on the wooded table with a loud thud!

Everyone stopped talking mid-sentence & looked at her. Even Kyouya was surprised but he gave off a very innocent I-don't-know-anything-about-it face which annoyed her even more.

'H-Haruhi? Is something the matter?' Tamaki asked nervously.

She sighed & glared at Kyouya for the tiniest of a second before blurting out: 'We're getting married.'

Dear mother earth stopped from spinning. A hundred years passed & everyone was still gaping at Haruhi like she just declared that Tamaki is the sanest person in the world.

Then almost simultaneously, Tamaki & the twins snapped their heads at the shadow king who was silently watching their amusing reaction. The three idiots glared at him like they wanted to flay him alive.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room dropped a significant degrees but Haruhi felt the burning anger coming from somewhere. Or rather, someone.

'You,' Tamaki pointed at his best friend rudely. His face was full of desire to kill.

'YOU ONE DIRTY PIECE OF SCUM BAG!' He lunged at Kyouya, curling his fists around his collar.

'H-hey!' Haruhi almost jumped in surprise. 'What the hell's wrong with you, senpai?!' She panicked when Tamaki started shaking Kyouya mercilessly while cursing. She was about to stop the stupid idiot but the twins held her.

'I told you he's taking advantage on you!'

'Don't worry, we'll save you! You are not marrying that monster.'

'We'll take care of you, okay?'

'Don't cry! We're here.'

The twins said it like a tongue twister, not to mention they talked at the same time. Haruhi was so lost in the current situation. What in SpongeBob's pants' going on?!

She watched Tamaki beat the holy crap out of Kyouya. The twins held her assuringly for some reasons unclear to her.

She glanced at the other two in the room; they seemed perfectly normal. Eating their food like no one's murdering someone inside the same room. They didn't exist at moment while Hunny-senpai ate his sweet & Mori-senpai watched him with blank expression.

'STOP!' Haruhi shrieked & whacked the twins' hands off her.

'Ow!' The two waved their hands as if on fire.

Tamaki paused; his fist hung mid-air, half-way from punching Kyouya, who, by the way, was calmly taking in all Tamaki's rage. Which was, of course, so unlike him.

'What in the fucking world do you think you're doing?!' She was pink in anger as she cussed angrily. And before anyone could react, she violently kicked Tamaki off her boyfriend. The king flew off to the other side of the room with a disgusting squeak.

'Are you trying to murder your best friend?!' She huffed.

'B-but! He violated you! He got you pregnant!' Tamaki patted his swelling butt.

'What?!' Haruhi's voice raised two octaves higher.

'You're pregnant, aren't you?' The twins looked worried.

Haruhi wanted to collapse on the spot. She realized how truly, definitely & absolutely stupid her friends were. She buried her face in her palms. She couldn't decide on how she would kill them: Stab them for a hundred times till the last drop of their blood or smash their dumb heads on a solid wall until their brains come off?

As she stood there, deliberating on her choices, Kyouya burst out laughing. He was damn right, of course! When did he ever fail in predicting, especially when it comes to his friends?

'What the-' Tamaki & the twins got goose bumps upon hearing the shadow king laughed.

'Shut up, Kyouya!' Haruhi snapped at him then glared at the stupid trio, 'which part of your dumb heads gets that abominable idea?'

'Huh?'

'I'm not pregnant, for heaven's sake!' She slapped her forehead.

Kyouya continued to laugh his head off; Mori-senpai & Hunny-senpai watched them like they were some funny movie. Tamaki & the twins had their mouths hanging open.

'I can't believe you three are my friends,' Haruhi shook her head as she slumped back on the floor.

'You're really not pregnant?' That earned Tamaki another stinging pain on his head.

'I told you, I am not!'

'Then why are you two getting married?' asked Hikaru.

'Because we hate each other,' Haruhi rolled her eyes; her patience was dipping again.

'But isn't it-'

'Listen up, fools!' The shadow king regained his composure after the merciless assault of their ridiculous reactions.

'We're getting married but no one ever said that I'm marrying her first thing in the morning tomorrow,' he explained.

'Oooohhhh...' they chorused. Finally! Their unicellular brain processed what they wanted to say.

'Okay. So...when is the wedding?' Kaoru scratched his dumb head.

'It's not yet set on the stone. First of all, Haruhi's still in high school & I just graduated. There are so many things we need to prioritize, I just...want to make sure Haruhi's mine, in case of demanding situation.'

Haruhi looked at him confusedly. She raised an eyebrow, 'demanding situation?'

'Sshh,' Kyouya gave her his best I'll-explain-later look.

'I guess that would be all. We just want you to know that we plan to get married someday,' he exhaled.

'Aw, that's so nice of you. Oh! Oh! I'll your best man!' Tamaki draped his arm over his shoulder as if he didn't almost beat the life of his best friend.

Kyouya shrugged him off & smirked, 'actually, about that little punches, I decided to ban you within 50-meter radius from the wedding. And by that, YOU. WILL. NEVER. BE. MY. BEST. MAN.'

Tamaki's ringing wail shook the whole restaurant.

'NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!'
