Chapter two is upon you now. Just a fair warning, this is probably ending in chapter three. Thanks for reading, later.
Chapter 2
"Haruhi." Mori's deep voice cut through Haruhi's rapid thinking.
"Yeah Mori-sempai?"
Mori stopped walking for a second, laying a hand on Haruhi's shoulder, "I'm not going to let him hurt you."
Haruhi's cheeks turned a deep shade of scarlet, and she smiled sheepishly at him.
By then the twins and Hunny had stopped walking as well.
"We won't either Haruhi." Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison.
Hunny nodded and smiled cheekily, "Okay, Haru-chan?"
She looked at her feet, "You guys really shouldn't be involved."
"Of course we should be, this guy's wacko, and we don't want our friend hurt." Hikaru and Kaoru said.
Haruhi didn't respond as she dropped her shoulders and looked out one of the tall windows.
"Now, let's go get Kyoya!" Hunny cheered as he began walking again.
Haruhi followed, watching the way he bounced, he was so cheery in such a terrifying situation. Well, I guess he had nothing to really be afraid of; after all, he could probably kick that man's ass before he got to him. And Haruhi had to admit, she felt a lot safer when she was walking between Mori and Hunny.
As they climbed the stairs to the second year classes, Haruhi feared that they might run into him again.
Suddenly there was a loud bang. Haruhi felt herself being lifted off the ground, and then dropped on the hard tile. She winced, slowly opening her eyes. She peeked up to see Mori and Hunny directly in front of her and Hikaru and Kaoru on either side, and she was leaning again the wall of the stairwell.
Her breathing was heavy as she looked around.
"It came from up there." Mori said, pointing to the second year classes.
"Hika-chan, Kao-chan, you two stay here with Haruhi, Takashi and I are gonna check it out." Hunny whispered.
"No, Hunny-sempai- Mori-sempai, don't!" Haruhi replied, trying to stand, but she felt two strong hands pull her down.
"Haruhi, they know what they're doing, trust them." Hikaru whispered in her ear.
"It'll be okay." Kaoru continued.
Haruhi watched as her two friends walked away, her eyes desperate, "No, they can't-"
Hikaru placed a hand over her mouth, "I could silence you with my mouth if you'd like."
Haruhi barely even noticed his flirtatious comment as she watched Hunny and Mori disappear.
Kaoru wrapped his arms around her and pulled her towards him, resting her head on his shoulder. "It'll be okay." He repeated.
Haruhi closed her eyes and waited for their return.
As she sat in complete silence she waited for a sound, anything. But nothing came.
Not until she heard multiple feet walking down the steps towards them.
Haruhi bolted up, whipping her head up to see Mori, Hunny, and Tamaki.
"T-Tamaki-sempai!?" Haruhi exclaimed.
The twins bolted up, grabbing her mouth and dragging her down again. "Shhhhhh!"
Haruhi nodded and they let go of her.
"Haruhi! Are you okay?" Tamaki shouted, throwing himself on her.
"Shut up boss!" The twins hissed.
Haruhi returned the hug, "Yeah, I'm okay." When Tamaki let go Haruhi glanced up at Hunny and Mori, "What is he doing here?"
"Well…" Hunny mumbled looking at his feet. "He reeaally wanted to come."
"Now the whole host club's going to be involved." Haruhi groaned.
"Haruhi." Tamaki said, getting her attention.
Haruhi looked back to him.
"I'm getting you out of here." His voice sounded solemn as he spoke.
Haruhi nodded, "I know," She said sending him a small smile.
Tamaki smiled back at her and stood. "Well then, let's go get Kyoya." He said holding out a hand to help her up.
"Was he not-" Haruhi began, but was stopped when the twins grabbed Tamaki's hand and stood, lifting her up with them. "I could've gotten up myself." Haruhi grumbled, straightening her coat.
"Let's go Haru-chan!" Hunny cheered.
"Was Kyoya-sempai not in the classroom?" Haruhi asked.
Tamaki looked down gravely. "Um, he was… but..."
Haruhi looked at Hunny and Mori for some kind of help, "Do you remember that loud bang Haru-chan?" Hunny asked.
Haruhi nodded, still not understanding.
"Well… Kyoya…" Hunny couldn't finish.
The twins next to her tensed, "Is he dead?!"
Hunny shook his head slightly, "No, the bad guy took him."
"Then what was the bang?" Haruhi asked.
"The teacher being shot." Mori answered.
Haruhi's breath was taken away, that guy killed somebody. Just to try to get to her.
"He wasn't kidding when he said he'd shoot anybody." Tamaki said quietly.
"Tamaki, I'm so sorry." If he'd killed a random teacher just to get to Kyoya, who'd he kill to get to her?
Tamaki shook his head, "No, it's not your fault. Kyoya will be okay, but we need him, so let's go get him."
"You guys really shouldn't-"
"Stop telling us to stop helping you." Hikaru said.
"We're helping you, and you can't change that, so why don't you just go with it." Hunny suggested.
"You need to rely on others a little more," Kaoru wrapped his arm over her shoulder, "you know, lean on us a little."
Haruhi nodded, looking down.
"Let's go get back Mommy!" Tamaki exclaimed, pointing a finger.
"Quiet boss! You're going to get us killed!" The twins hissed.
Tamaki winced, "Sorry…"
It was strange how lightly they reacted to the fact that Kyoya was stuck with a murderer that was coming for Haruhi, and they were at risk.
Rich kids are weird.
Idk why I'm not doing chapters at the top...
