Chapter 29

General POV

Welcome back my darling princess, I'm sure you've been paying attention to the story thus far, however did you know there's now a Facebook page dedicated to their growing romance, calendars, plush teddy bears, and all for a low, low cost.

*Renge bursts in shoving Kyoya to the side, where from a distance we can see the purple radiating from around him.*

NO KYOYA, I trusted you once, once I trusted you. *Renge Sighs* Sorry ladies!

Now, of course Kyoya was correct in assuming you've been patiently watching these two love birds from the side lines, however as our love birds were *cough* showing their love for one another we had a unknown person watching all along, someone who's being vying for our Haruhi Fujioka's attention! Who is it? Who could it possibly be? A blonde man in the Host Club? Could it of been our adorable Honey-senpai? Or was it our lonely prince Tamaki-senpai? Stay tuned to find out my lovelies!

Takashi POV

"How could you Haruhi?" Tamaki yelled from a distance, how did I miss him standing there? Haruhi was flushed bright red whether it was from the previous activities or being potentially caught in those kinds of activities I'll have to enquire about later. More importantly where was Mitskuni? Why didn't he him from getting this close to be able to witness Haru and I, but also interrupt?

"How could I what Tamaki? ALSO don't yell at me Tamaki-senpai! Come talk to me like a proper gentleman!" I looked at Haruhi from the corner of my eye, she was starting to square her shoulders almost mentally and physically preparing for a fight, I could almost sense the beginning of a purple aura starting to emanate around her.

"You... and HIM! You were doing... STUFF!" Tamaki was beginning to go bright red in the face as he was yelling at Haruhi, the way he stuttered brought my eyes onto him instead of Haruhi, surely Suoh isn't that naïve?

"What stuff Tamaki?" I looked at Haruhi in the corner of my eye, she knew exactly what 'stuff' he was referring to, however, the slow probing questions is what I believe will make her a fantastic lawyer in the future.

"You were by his stomach... unless of COURSE you were trying to get a bug or something off his stomach!" Tamaki went from nearly having a panic attack to having love hearts in his eyes and he went into his own subconscious. However, I knew if I had the ability to witness what was going on in his mind I'm sure I wouldn't like it.


Tamaki's inner mind theatre

"Oh no Mori-senpai" Haruhi exclaimed while pushing Mori-senpai away from her. "You have a bug on you! A icky, icky bug! I can't marry you anymore! I want to be with my one true love, Tamaki-senpai! My daddy!" She runs away from Takashi isn't my awaiting arms, where I swing her around and around and around, then taking her hand in mine, we walk together along the beach.

"I wouldn't have you any other way my princess, my one true princess." I run my fingers along her cheek before leaning towards her, sealing our fates.


"Right..." I felt her hand reaching towards me, I linked our fingers together and I shook my head and we started walking together towards the rest of the group. Surely Suoh couldn't be that much of an idiot or that obvious to his own feelings that he realises that he's thinking of fantasies that will never become realities. I looked back over my shoulder for a moment to see Suoh staring in our direction, a look of regret clear as day itself on his face before he masked it quickly.

Suoh ran off towards the screaming girls calling for his attention, and of course we saw the twins running around squirting each other with water guns. Suddenly I sensed Mitskuni's presence coming towards me at full speed, I braced my legs, let go of Haru's hand and waited the impact. "Oh now you can sense other people" Haruhi muttered under her breath. I felt my cheeks slightly redden at the comment.

"TAKAASHIIII!" I felt Mitskuni's body hit my back, his legs went through my arms and suddenly I felt a lot better about the situation at being caught by Suoh. "What happened Takashi?" He softly whispered only so loud that I could hear.

"Mm." I'll tell you later. Years of speaking with grunts, mumbles and sighs has allowed Mitskuni to understand me better than most people. He has learnt to read between the lines when people are talking, just as I have done. Some people believe me to be a silent giant, but Mitskuni hears sentences, paragraphs and stories with just syllables, it may just be reading between the lines and reading each other's body languages, but honestly I think it's made us both better men.

"Oh Haruhi, I was so worried when you disappeared, but when I realised Takashi was gone too I realised you must of been safe because you were with Takashi!" The small blonde behind me starts chattering away, I let him get down off my back as he started to squirm, the girls who were beginning to gather wanted to see what it was like for the two of us to run our drills on the sand. Mitskuni looked up into my eyes with begging teary eyes, I found it difficult to say no.

"Go Taka, I'm going to go for a walk with some girls anyway." She gave me a kiss on the cheek, and a quick squeeze on my arm, which rewarded her with the rare smile only she sees. The girls around us squealed with joy at the sight, I allowed my senses to go inside themselves to focus on her and everything that is her, her energy which always has a calming effect for me to be around, her smell the sweet scent of strawberries. Everything that is Haruhi, my senses honed in on.

Haruhi POV

The idea of getting caught by Tamaki-senpai just as Taka and I were finishing is still playing around in my head over and over again. Sure it's no fault of Takashi's that we got caught, but it's still embarrassing none the less. As we walked hand in hand towards the group of people at the beach I couldn't help but want to hide away, although I knew I couldn't.

As we the group of ladies that twins were entertaining became bigger I couldn't help but look around for the small loli-shota host that has become such a big part of my life. Although once I heard Takashi's name being called out I knew it was only a matter of time before I saw him.

As Mitskuni climbed on Takashi's back it didn't take long for the girls who normally follow him around to arrive as well. I was still standing next to Takashi but it didn't take long for them to wedge themselves between Takashi and I, all screaming about how they would love to watch them do their drills on the beach, naturally Mitskuni couldn't help but preform for the crowd.

"Haruhi! Come for a walk with me!" Kaori a girl who normally tries to vie for Kyoya's affections called out to me.

"Oh hi Kaori! I'm thinking of going for a walk up towards the rocks, I'm sure there's a lovely sunset coming." I smiled warmly at the young girl, and she returned the smile happily.

"Oh Haruhi, that sounds amazing! Let's go!"

"Of course Kaori, just let me tell Takashi were I'm going."

We walked side by side together and eventually we made it to the top. The sun was just beginning to set, there was a slight breeze however it wasn't cold enough that I needed a heavier robe. Kaori was in her bikini top and shorts and wasn't complaining. "Wow, it looks... It looks spectacular." We heard some stumbling behind us, I heard a glass bottle dropping as well, I placed a hand over Kaori and pushed her behind me. Even though we're the same size it was almost by instinct that I hid her.

"Oh hey look boys! There's some cuties up head!" One man was slurring to his buddies. They all started laughing and egging each other on, I narrowed my eyes as I looked upon them. They shouldn't be here, this is a private beach...

"You shouldn't be here. This is a private beach." I stated coldly.

"Oh come on babe, you should come party with us instead of those lame kids down there!" another guy starting coming towards us.

"They said private beach... Does that mean we're alone?" They started sharing grins between one another.

"I repeat. You should not be here. You need to leave now." I braced my feet like I had seen the Morinozuka's do so many times before in those movies. The guy closest to me, moved towards me quickly his arm shot out to grab my own. I wasn't expecting him to grab me so suddenly, I yelled and instinctively my other arm shot out to try and pry his arm off me.

"Stop putting up such a fight baby, we'll show you what a real good time is like!" Kaori started to squeal at this point, I was trying to pull myself free of his grasp. Due to what I can only assume was his drunkenness his grip faltered for a moment, the moment I yanked back as hard as I could. I shot backwards losing my grips on the rocks edge and felt myself falling through the air...

Could this really be it for me? What would Takashi, my darling Takashi say at my failing?

Takashi POV

As I was running through the drills with the girls on the beach I started to feel a tingle along my back, a familiar tingle. I stopped what I was doing mid stretch, Mitskuni stopped as well and stared straight at me. "Takashi?" I watched his eyes close as he started to focus on his inner self, he too went still. "Takashi, we need to find Haruhi." I nodded and we both went off together in the direction off the rock cliff. Follow your inner spirit.

We both heard a squeal and my heart dropped, I knew my eyes were wide, I forgot about instinct and started running towards the cliff, I heard the men before I saw them, they were making leers at something, a woman would be my best guess, then I heard what made my stomach drop. Haruhi was defending herself. I was clambering up the trail towards her, I knew if I could be just a little quicker I would see her sooner.

I heard the squeal and I saw that girl who follows Kyoya around the club room, I saw the men surrounding the girls around the edge, I looked for Haruhi but couldn't see her. I looked at Kaori's face and realised she was looking down into the water... No... No, she did not fall... I ran past the men barely registering them falling over as I pushed past, I looked over the cliff edge and saw her falling into the water, I heard the splash.

Jump, jump Takashi. Jump and save your beloved, save her before it's too late.

I dived into the water, I felt the water rush over my head my arms went around her body and I swam to the surface, I pulled her towards the beach. When I could stand I carried her in a princess hold, we were alone on the beach which barely registered in my mind. I laid her down on the sand, totally unsure of how to proceed. "Haru, Haru... Wake up... Please wake up."

I closed my eyes and placed my head over her chest. I could hear her breathing was normal and her heart beating loudly. I sat up and waited for a few moments until I heard her coughing, my eyes flew open and I looked into her honey brown eyes, mine filled with worry. "Taka... Oh Taka!" She sat up and wrapped her arms around my neck, mine instinctively went around her waist pulling her in closer.

"Oh Haru. You're safe." She's safe... She's here, she's home.
