So, I must break a promise...well not really a promise but you know. What I mean to say is, I told the reviewers that once I posted chapter 2, the updates would be regular...uh yeah, not going to happen. This chapter 2 is a THANK YOU gift because I had NINE reviews! NINE! That made me very, very, very happy.

So here you go, my readers. Again, the updates will not be regular. I'm still working on writing all the chapters...I'm on six right now.

If you're still reading this long A/N, this chapter is dedicated to JCB13. Thank you for the support! And again, thanks to uyay for help editing!

Mori woke up to muffled sounds and sounds of struggle. He opened his eyes to see in the dim light a large, shadowy figure slowly heading to the door.

Mori looked down beside and only saw Honey sleeping on the couch. Haruhi! Mori thought. He leapt to his feet just as the two figures left the room. "Mitsukuni!" he shouted hoping to wake his cousin up.

Honey, hearing the urgent tone in his cousin's voice, opened his eyes. He knew that when Mori was worried, worried enough to shout at Honey, that it was serious and he had to wake up right away. "Taka, Takashi?" he asked cutely.

"It's Haruhi!" Mori shouted before leaving the room and running down the dimly light hallway after them. With long strides, Mori reached them quickly and discerned which one was Haruhi. The other one was too tall to be Haruhi. He put his hand around the one he thought was Haruhi and sent a light kick flying at the other.

The hand around Haruhi's mouth fell away and Haruhi said, "Mori-senpai!"

Mori nodded and pulled Haruhi out of the man's grip. She landed on the ground while Mori remained standing, low in his fighting position. Once she was free, the man took off down the hallway towards the stairs. Mori thought about following him but thought he shouldn't leave Haruhi behind.

He knelt down beside her and asked, "Are you alright? Did he hurt you?"

"No," Haruhi said shaking her head. She was breathing heavy, Mori noticed. Well of course, he told himself, she just had a life or death situation.

"He's gone now," Mori said holding out a hand to Haruhi.

Haruhi took it and stood. "I know."

Just at that moment, Honey raced down the hall. "What happened?" he asked with no trace of childishness in his voice.

When Haruhi didn't answer, Mori replied, "Someone snuck in and tried to kidnap Haruhi."

"Is it her stalker?" Honey asked grimly.

"There's a good chance."

Haruhi sighed and ran a hand through her messy hair. "I didn't know his threat was serious," she said softly.

Mori patted her shoulder. "You couldn't have but now, you need 24/ 7 protection."

Honey nodded. "I'm going to set off the alarm. My parents and brother are out of town for the weekend so it's just the servants here. We can review the security cameras." He turned to Haruhi. "Did you get a look at his face?"

Haruhi shook her head. "It was too dark. He was big though. Like as big as Mori big."

Mori nodded, confirming her story. Honey bit his lip thinking. "Takashi, you take her to the kitchen and get her some calming tea. I'll call the police and look over the security cameras."

"How do we know he actually left?" Haruhi asked quietly.

"If he's actually smart, he'd get out of here before the police get here and try to get at you later," Honey answered. At Haruhi's distressed look, he assured her, "We won't let him though."

"No, we won't," Mori agreed.

Haruhi nodded but didn't say anything.

Mori put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Come on, we should head to the kitchen."

He started to lead her away when Honey said in his normal voice, "And get out a piece of cake for me!"

…~…..

"Miss, is there anyone you want us to call for you?" the detective asked as he finished his interview with Haruhi.

Haruhi shook her head. "No thanks."

The man nodded before handing her a card. "If you ever need anything, here's my card."

"Thank you."

Honey took his place in front of her. "Are you okay, Haru-chan?"

"I'm fine!" Haruhi laughed nervously.

"We know you better than that," Honey said seriously.

Haruhi sighed defeatedly. "You didn't get anything off of the tapes?" she asked hopefully.

Honey shook his head. "He hacked in through the security system and knew how to avoid the cameras."

Haruhi's face fell. "Oh."

Mori raised an eyebrow and said wordlessly, That takes skill doesn't it?

Honey nodded. "He's smart, I'll give him that."

"So, what now?" Haruhi asked.

"Now," Honey replied. "Takashi and I don't leave your side."

Haruhi rolled her eyes. "I love you guys and all, but don't you think that's a little overkill?"

Mori shook his head. "You need protection."

Honey nodded vigorously. "We don't want anything to happen to you, Haru-chan! So, Takashi and I have promised to protect you from your stalker."

"Thanks, I guess," Haruhi said looking out the window into the dark yard.

Honey held out a piece of cake on a plate. "You want cake?"

Haruhi shook her head. She didn't feel very hungry. "No thanks, Honey-senpai."

Honey looked at the floor downtrodden. "Oh."

Haruhi looked at the disappointed boy and her heart melted. "Well, one piece never hurt anybody," Haruhi compromised.

Honey brightened and held the piece to Haruhi. "Right, Haru-chan!"

Haruhi took the piece and set down at the table. "You do realize you don't have to protect me right?"

Honey cut himself a piece and sat beside Haruhi. "My parents are out of town for a month. You're welcome to stay in a guest room until they get back!"

Haruhi shook her head. "I don't want to impose."

Honey smiled cutely. "You wouldn't be, you'd just be joining our sleepover party. He was staying over to keep me company anyway! Right Takashi?"

Mori nodded praying that his embarrassment was written all over his face.

"Still-"

"Haru-chan," Honey said with his voice not cutesy at all. "You can either agree and come here of your own will, or I will have Takashi drag you here every night."

Haruhi glared at Honey. "You wouldn't dare."

Honey grinned, "Try me, or rather, Takashi."

Haruhi looked up at Mori with wide eyes and frowned. "Fine, but eventually, I will be going home."

Honey finished off the last of his cake. "Deal."

Haruhi pushed her plate with half of the cake uneaten towards Honey. "Here you eat it."

Honey grinned and said, "Thanks, Haru-chan!"

"No problem," she muttered.

"Come on," Mori said quietly to her. "I'll show you your new room."

Haruhi glared up at him before her expression softened and she stood up. "Okay."

…..~…

"Here you are," Mori said as he let Haruhi into her room.

Haruhi looked at the room and gasped. It was a larger than anything she was used to. There was a king sized four poster bed along the far wall. Two large dressers sat along the wall to its left. The whole room was wonderfully accommodated. "Wow," Haruhi breathed.

"The bathroom's through that door," Mori said pointing to the door in the far corner.

"This," Haruhi stuttered. "This is amazing."

"Rich people have it good, I suppose," Mori replied nonchalantly. "I'll be staying in the room across the hall and Mitsukuni's room is right next to mine."

Haruhi nodded still examining her new room. "What about my clothes?"

"Mitsukuni sent a driver to pick them up." At Haruhi's alarmed expression, Mori continued, "A trusted female driver."

Haruhi nodded and turned back to examined the flat screen TV. "Tell him that I said thank you."

Mori nodded and started to back out of the room.

Before he shut the door, Haruhi called, "And thank you Mori-senpai. For, for saving me."

Mori bowed his head in acknowledgement and shut the door. "Try to get some sleep."
