Kyoya knocked on the door and was surprised when it swung open with no one behind it.

The apartment was dark, and cold. He stepped inside the apartment and heard a crunch. Kyoya felt around the wall, looking for the blasted light switch. With a simple flick light floored the room.

Glass was slued across the floor, picture frames hung crooked on the wall and there was a very dark stain on the carpet that looked suspiciously like blood. There were dirty dishes on the counter as well as in the sink and on the table, books scattered around the room and the shrine to Haruhi's mother was dark. It looked as if it had been trashed. There was loud snoring coming from the back of the apartment. Kyoya cautiously made his way to the back of the apartment, it sounded as if it was coming from Haruhi's room, which seemed very unlikely seeing as the apartment was in this state of disarray. Kyoya stepped inside her room to find Ranka curled up on her bed, phone on the floor, and a bottle of booze in his hand.

Kyoya stepped past the threshold of the room and grabbed the phone off the floor. He closed it and took in Ranka curled up on Haruhi's small. The proud drag queen had stubble on his chin, dark circles under his eyes, his hair was unkempt and looked oily, and he reeked of booze and was snoring heavily. Kyoya took in the rest of the room; it was much barer then when he was last here. The walls lacked photos, her drawers were pulled open and empty; her desk was bare save a few pencils, one of her closet doors were opened with very few articles of clothing within. There was a crumpled piece of paper on the floor, right next to the small bed.

Kyoya picked up the wrinkled paper and read its contents, his face drained of color and he turned and left taking the sheet of paper with him in his haste. He got into his car and sped away into the night.

I slept like the dead that night, my body hurt and my soul was aching. It has been so long since I have been back inside this house, and for the first time in a long time I feel at home and safe. I cannot remember the last time I have slept this soundly nor can I ever remember being so sure. I know what I must do now, I will not let my father ruin anything more than he has. I will still help him from the shadows, and I will give myself to Ryuu to ensure that he is properly cared for, but I will never go back to him. As for Yasuo, I'm not sure what to do; I still care for him deeply and yet... I cannot get over the fact that he had left me there without a word, he could have died and I never would have known if he still cared.

I groan softly and sit up in bed; the room is bright now, which means I have slept in. It's Monday and I have school but Yuuta wants to take me to the hospital. I get out of the plush bed and remake it. I grab a change of clothes and head towards the bath room that is down the hall. I decided upon a much more feminine outfit then normally. I chose a loose fitting shirt purple shirt and lose dark blue-jeans.

The hall is empty and the house is silent. I open the bathroom door and quickly change into my outfit, I decide against taking a shower for I am not truly sure how bad the damage is to my back nor do I want to injure my hand any more then it is.

I wince as I move about the process but I manage to finish quickly enough. I leave the bathroom after depositing my dirty clothes into the hamper. I make my way down the hall and then the stairs. House is livelier now, there are maids going about on the lower floor quietly doing the chores set for them. A maid looked up from her work and spotted me coming across the open parlor and spoke up.

"The Master and young Masters are waiting for you in the sitting room, Miss."

I nod a thanks toward the women and enter the sitting room. Ryuu and Yasuo were sitting on a large couch while Yuuta was sitting in a large leather chair. I stood there waiting until one of them spoke.

"Good morning, Haruhi, how are you feeling?"

"A bit sore, Sir, but I feel better." It was mostly the truth while I was less tired I still felt like I could sleep for months and well, my pain was slowly increasing the more I moved about. My ribs hurt as well as my stomach, and my hand was starting to throb horribly.

"Well have something to eat, it's almost noon and I need to take you to the hospital soon so we can have you checked out."

I nob and make my way towards the dining room, no sooner then when I sat down did they follow me into the room.

"So, how is school? Are you doing well?"

I nod and rest my hand in my lap while I push the food around on my plate. "I am doing well, Sir, I am at the top of my class."

"That's good, I do have a question though, and do you plan on taking the oath before you finish high school?"

"What?" Yasuo stood up and looked at me, I felt my cheeks heat up and I looked away.

"I'm going to serve the family Yasuo."

"Like hell you are, Haruhi."

I felt my face pull into a frown. "You are not my boss, Yasuo. This is my choice and you cannot stop me."

"I can." Yasuo stood up and glared down at me, I felt my anger began to boil.

"Who do you think you are!?" I stand as well and the sudden movement causes a jolt of pain to shoot across my ribs as well as down my back. I wince and yet I do not back down.

"I will not let you put yourself at risk!"

I slammed my hands down on the table and cried out in pain, damn I forgot my knuckles hurt, I bit my lip and pushed the pain to the back of my mind. "if you did not want to put me at risk then you shouldn't have left me with my father." It was a low move I will admit but he was seriously pissing me off. He had no room to talk.

Hurt flashed across Yasuo's handsome features, but I felt no pity at this moment.

"Enough!" I looked over to see that Yuuta standing, his face was full of concern as he looked at me. "This is not the time for this Yasuo. Haruhi needs to go to the hospital and you aren't helping matters any."

Yasuo stormed out of the room without a glance back while Ryuu stood and walked over to where Yuuta and I were.

"Can I come with you?"

Yuuta looked over at me and I nodded.

"If that's the case Haruhi I'll just have Ryuu take you while I sort out some things with Yasuo."

I let out a sigh and nod, Yuuta then turns and leaves the room.

"Are you ready to go Haruhi?"

I nod and follow him out of the room.

A/N: I know the first person point of view is kind of random but I like first person more than third for this so I may be writing like that for a while. Please review.
