Unrequited Love

Chapter 9: Cinderella

"Oh wow!" Naru exclaimed her eyes dancing with excitement. The party held in a ballroom with about 50-70 guests.

"A house like this has a ballroom?" Haruhi replied as the twins released their grip on her.

"Why not? This is the Suou estate number 5" Kaoru replied.

"Number 5?" Haruhi asked not looking shock.

"Yes" Hikaru answered and looked at the opposite corner. "There's Mori Senpai and Huni Senpai.."he pointed near the refreshments.

Haruhi hurriedly looked and a smile spread in her face.

"Senpai!" she called walking towards them. Naru followed closed behind. It seemed that Haruhi knew a lot about the host club.

Huni looked the same, cute and cuddly. But he grew almost nearing Haruhi's height.

Mori still had that cool persona but his eyes were warm.

"Haru-chan!" Huni called in his sweet voice. He was as usual eating cake.

"How are you?" she asked smiling.

"We are fine!"Huni replied looking shortly at Mori who just said, "ah.."

"By the way, this is my friend Naru" she introduced.

Naru smiled at them. "Hi! Nice to meet you all" she replied her eyes gleaming.

Suddenly Kyouya appeared out of nowhere and looked at Haruhi. "Lovely dress" he replied.

"Senpai" she replied and smiled. Naru looked at all the boys surrounding them.

She didn't know that Haruhi was THAT popular with the host club. Was she a regular client of the host club? But looking at the way she would talk and laugh with the other members..it looked rather different. Not like a client but as a close friend of the boys.

Naru smiled silently, there was more to Haruhi Fujioka that she ought to know. Aside from being such a nice girl she had this inner glow that one would appreciate.

Yet there was one person missing.

Tamaki Suou.

Naru looked around the ballroom, seraching for him.

"Are you looking for someone my lady?" a soft voice whispered in her ear. She jumped in surprise.

It was one of the twins.

"Uh.."she grumbled nervously as he smiled and took her hand. "Let's dance shall we?"

Her face turned bright pink, but she nodded nonetheless.

Haruhi waved and watched Naru danced around the ballroom dance floor with Kaoru.

They looked fine together.

Then suddenly someone took her hand and then a hand went to her small waist and flung her body to the dance floor.

Haruhi looked up. "Kyouya Senpai?" she asked. He gave her one of those thin looking smiles and he pushed his frames into his noise.

"They aren't the only ones who can dance" he said as he began to move to the rhythm of soft music. Four couples soon followed. Haruhi tried her best to go with him. Her left hand was in his shoulder and the other was in his other hand. He was a good dancer. Probably done it for years.

Kyouya began to moved towards the side.

Haruhi looked up and noticed it was Tamaki and that girl.

Tamki's eyes widened with surprise as he watched Haruhi, his beloved Haruhi dance with Kyouya. And she looked so damn cute.

"Ah, Kyouya" Yuki replied as they danced near them, her eyes flew towards Haruhi, "who is she?"

Kyouya smiled coldly, "what a rude thing to say"

Yuki blinked back and moved her body near Tamaki who was staring at Haruhi.

"I'm Ootori Kyouya, I just don't dance with anyone" he replied casually. Haruhi glanced at the older boy.

'your still as smooth as ice..' she thought slightly amused.

"Oh..I see" Yuki replied and returned her gaze to Haruhi.

"This is Fujioka Haruhi" he introduced. "She is a close friend of the Ouran Host Club"

"Oh" Yuki's face fell into a surprise. "So you know her Tamaki darling?" she said and turned to Tamaki whose cheeks became pink.

"Y-yes"

"Your a client of the Host Club I presumed?" Yuki asked Haruhi.

She was about to open her mouth when Tamaki spoke out of the blue. "Haruhi is not just our client before, she is more than that" he said softly.

Kyouya glanced at Tamaki.

Yuki seemed lost for words. Haruhi sighed. There was this weird tension going around them.

Naru was having a blast dancing when she spotted Haruhi dancing with Kyouya.

"They looked so nice" she replied. Kaoru nodded, "ah..yes but I think somebody will be envious"

"Eh? Who?" she asked him. He winked at her.

"Just watch" he said.

Naru returned her gaze and spotted another couple.

"It's Tamaki" she replied, "he looks so handsome.."

"My lord loves to dress up.." he said.

Tamaki was wearing an expensive white suit and a black tie. He practically glowed in it.

"that's his up coming bride, isn't it?" she asked.

"Yes.."he replied. Then Kaoru stopped and brought Naru to the side. "There's going to be a scene.."

"Huh?"

"Just watch" he winked again.

----------------------------------0o0

"Can we exchange partners, Tamaki? " Kyouya asked out of the blue.

"What?" Yuki replied in a surprised tone.

Tamaki blushed again.

Before anyone could answer, Kyouya released Haruhi and grabbed Yuki's hand.

"Shall we, Narizawa Yuki" he said sweetly and took her away before she could protest any further.

Haruhi sighed again and looked at Tamaki. "Nee, senpai what shall we do?"

Tamaki looked at her shyly. "Do you want to dance with me?"

"Sure" she said.

Tamaki smiled and extended his hand.

They began to dance slowly. Haruhi glanced up to his face.

"Senpai, is anything wrong? You look rather sad" she said.

"Me? I'm just tired" he said. "But..now.."

"Now?" Haruhi asked curiously.

"Now Cinderella has arrived, I am happy.." he said smiling.

-------------------------------0o0

Naru watched form afar as Haruhi and Tamaki danced in the dance floor. The lights turned dim and a spot light shone across the room at the two dancing figures.

"So beautiful.."she whispered.

"Yes..Cinderella and the Prince.." Huni replied still eating his cake.

"Cinderella and her Prince"
