Limitless Love

Chapter Ten: Thundering Limits

Haruhi watched Tamaki from a distance getting ready for her next scene with him, not that there was much she needed to do. The twins took care of that, again, she gazed down at the outfit she was wearing, a pink summer dress. She sighed looking over to where Tamaki sat; right now Tama was doing a solo part. Serious, the expression seemed so often rare for him, but there it was. He appeared be so focus on thinking about his love, Alice's character. This is where the montage of flashbacks would kick in, and she as Misty would come in interrupting him. He would become a little irritated, something she wasn't used to. Though what was odder was his behavior from last night.

Disturbed, that was the kind of feeling that ran through Haruhi when Tamaki was quiet. He held such a strange expression while looking out the window. This was not normal! Why wasn't he talking to her? It didn't make any sense. He looked so…so…emotionless. That couldn't be, he was always overflowing with it. It was scary to see him like this! She couldn't stand it! The former host club member desperately searched the depths of her mind for anything to say.

"So what was your job?" A smile graced his face.

"Oh well why don't you guess?"

"I'm asking you, don't play games just tell me."

"Haruhi how can you be so mean? I think it would be easy to guess, I worked at a coffeehouse, when I came back from France."

"What?"

"It was so much fun!" he clapped his hands together. "Of course that incident that almost damaged my face wasn't so much fun," He added as an afterthought. "But the girls were so lovely and great company. My boss was a very charming woman and told me that she served my mom coffee once."

"Really? Didn't you say something about seeing your mother? I bet that was nice to see her again."

"It was."

"I miss my mother," she whispered softly.

"Haruhi," the gentle tone was so soothing and welcoming. Leaning against his chest, she let him hold her just for a moment. That moment was one Tamaki would not dare ruin. He just smiled. "I am sure she would be proud.

"Haruhi!" the director shouted, "Your scene!"

"Sorry," she shook her head and made her way over.

Misty: ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIC!

Tamaki sharply turned his head. In a snarled tone he answered her.

Eric: What do you want?

It took Haruhi by complete surprise.

Misty: Uh…hmm…well I just missed you

She managed to stutter out.

Eric: Oh, I'm sorry, I just…

Misty: It's okay

"Cut!" Renge yelled into a megaphone before the director could say anything about the mistake. Haruhi was amazed how quickly she went from arguing with Lionel to criticizing her. In the next moment the director snatched the megaphone away from the bossy girl. Then walked over to the former host club girl, "Haruhi" the director said softly. He gently put a hand on her shoulder. "You seem a little off today, is everything alright?"

"Just a little I suppose, but I'll be fine, so what was I supposed to say?"

"You were supposed to burst in tears declaring that you know about Chelsea!" Renge burst in with excitement.

With a deep breath and sigh the brown eyed woman simply replied, "Okay,"

Yoko let herself be dragged by her fiancé, "Where are we going Hikaru?" Her long black haired flowed behind her and she was having trouble keeping up in high heels.

"To see Haruhi," he replied. "Hey Kaoru," he waved towards his brother who stood by the limo.

"Oh, but weren't we just there?" she briefly thought about how he always seemed to go to her.

"Something wrong?" Kaoru asked as she began to climb in. A bright smile was giving to him, but he could tell it was insincere. He was the more sensitive twin.

"No."

"Hey let's hurry!" Hikaru commanded the driver as he slid in next to Yoko and put a hand on her shoulder. "I know but we had to leave quickly to talk statistics. I really didn't get to admire our handiwork, dear."

"Yeah, but will we still be able to go out to dinner tonight?" the Japanese model inquired, slightly bitter.

"Of course," Kaoru began, but was interrupted.

"I don't know I was thinking Haruhi and the rest of the old host club could go to a commoner's hangout place."

"You know we just haven't seen the whole gang for awhile." The kinder twin explained patting her gently on the back.

"Yeah, especially Haruhi, she's so adorable!" Kaoru sighed and resisted the urge to smack his brother, who could be so blind.

"Cake!" Hunny held up a slice for Haruhi. She took it with a smile. Currently break was in place, and Mori and Hunny had come early to watch, keeping her company while she relaxed a bit. Acting really wasn't something she wanted to get too much into.

"Thank you,"

"Is everything alright?" turning to see who it was, the brown eyed girl was surprised to see Alice standing there. Practically glowing in the red strapless gown she was wearing.

Taking another bite of the soft delicious cake, before she replied, "No, I'm fine."

"Alright, well…I'm going to go talk to Tamaki, then," There seemed to be something in the air, but nobody could tell what it was, you could tell something was up in the tone she spoke in.

"Okay,"

"Did Tamaki seem odd to you?" another voice was heard as Alice turned away.

"Actually, he did Mori." Haruhi replied finishing up the slice she was given, and setting the plate down.

"Seems like before, doesn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

"When I rescued you before with the horses, he acted the same." The former host girl thought about it for a moment. He is right!

"That is strange. I wondered what was wrong with him back then. He pushed us a way for a moment, that doesn't seem to be a thing he does, instead he is the kind of person that brings people together."

"Perhaps, I think it is what was wrong with you, Haruhi." Kyoya came up behind them with Arisa adjusting his glasses. Sharon was with them now as well.

"Huh?" the brown haired girl looked at Mori who just smiled.

"So where is Tamaki?" Arisa questioned. "Is he with Alice?" An odd feeling came over Haruhi at the idea of those two together, alone.

"Nooooo!" A voice cried. It was just fangirl Sharon, "She can't be with him!"

"Oh chill Sharon, I'm sure they are just going over some lines." Arisa just waved off the blonde's dramatic behavior.

"Yes, but which lines! The kiss! I hate it when he kisses her!" Haruhi's eyes widened as she remembered the last time he saw her kiss her. It left a painful feeling in her heart. "I'm going to get him." The blonde fan girl began to take off in a stomping fit.

"Sharon!" The black haired girl yelled and yanked her back. "Would you quit being a drama queen!"

"But…but…hey where is Haruhi?"

"Hey Tamaki," greeted Alice as she came to met him at his trailer.

"Hello, my lovely Alice," he replied turning to see her, even he could tell something was off in the way she smiled. "Is something troubling you?"

"No not at all,"

"Really? It just seems you been more serious lately, and a lot less your fun self." Her hands were behind her back, and she bit her lip, lightly.

Tamaki ran a hand through his blonde locks. "Oh do I? I'm not getting any lines on my face, am I?" he questioned pointing to his face. "Perhaps, I should find a mirror."

"No," Alice grabbed his hand, "You just seem…so…well you seemed zone out and you have an expression these days I'm unfamiliar with."

"An expression?"

"Yeah," she moved closer to him, even closer when she saw Haruhi coming up from behind. "Things seem off." A spark lit in her eyes, her smile seemed a bit devious.

"Off, I'm not off," He backed away, "I'm perfectly on, I'm…" he waved his arms dramatically.

"Intense, very intense, you…need to…loosen up." Lips met his, as her beautiful green eyes looked towards the browned haired woman, challenging her. Violet eyes widened in complete confusion but the moment he regain his senses he pushed her away. Glancing over his shoulder he saw his darling Haruhi running in the distance.

"Haruhi there you are…?" Arisa try to grab her but only caught air. "Haruhi?" She tried to go after her, but found herself pulled back into Kyoya's chest. She met his normally cold and calculated gaze, which seem to have a tint of worry.

"Don't," he directed her attention to Tamaki who was running after her. "I think this is something we can not help with." The usually stubborn woman's green eyes looked at his with desperation. "I know, but this is something they need to deal with," he answered as if reading her mind

"I know," Part of her wanted to tell him to let go of her now, but his arms felt so nice. So she didn't say anything, until she saw Alice.

"Alice?" she glared at her.

"Alice, you did something didn't you!" Sharon screeched waving her arms in distress.

"What I…" She was trying to push her way through all the host club members.

"Alice where is Tamaki?" the director asked.

"He just took off!" Lionel yelled and he began to run in circles trying not to pull out his hair. "What I am going to do?"

"Cake," Hunny suggested holding up a plate.

"I'll have my men go after him, if he isn't back in an hour." Kyoya stated.

"An HOUR!"

"Yes," The shadow king adjusted his glasses. "He needs this time, I believe Tamaki has the time to spare doesn't he?" Lionel sighed, he always left things open for emergencies. "I believe this is one of those occasions that you calculated for. So for now we will just wait, you too Miss Cannon."

"But…I,"

"She should fix this mess!" The angry blonde girl yelled.

"No, I think this is more about Tamaki then Alice. I believe she just sped it up."

"I didn't mean to…I was just trying to make…jealous."

"But your feelings are getting in the way." Arisa pointed out. "Aren't they? You wanted to be his friend, but you can't?"

"I thought I could, but I guess not…" Sharon just glared at her.

Arisa gently touched her shoulder, "I understand." Alice eyes were filled with tears.

"Can you? I doubt it." She left to run the other direction.

Haruhi found herself running, anywhere and nowhere with tears flowing down her cheeks. She managed to keep some of her senses, looking as she crossed streets. Other, than that she did not care where she was going. Anywhere, away from this pain, too bad it was inside her. She just couldn't believe it hurt so much. She felt betrayed, but didn't understand why. She finally found herself in a park, sitting down on the bench. Trying to search for an answer in her very depths, she was unaware what was going on around her.

There she stood beautiful, long hair, and bright beautiful eyes, Eclaire was exactly what a rich society wanted in a woman. She was perfect for Tamaki. Yet there was a strong dislike towards her that Haruhi couldn't began to comprehend. The elegant young lady made her way past her.

"I know how you feel about him," She pulled down the opera glasses, she seemed to wear everywhere she went.

"You don't know me how could you know my feelings," Haruhi retorted. "You claim I'm jealous, but how can you know when you never seen me jealous."

"I can see it," she brought her opera glasses back up to her cover her blue eyes, "but I think you don't, do you?"

"What do you mean?" This lady was strange to her. She wasn't right for senpai she could tell. How could he think of disbanding the host club for her? When he had his friends, when he had the host girl?

"You don't understand your own feelings; you never been jealous have you? It is obvious that you having no understanding of your gender, but I thought you could at least understand attraction and see that you have feelings for him."

"I know I have feelings, he is hard to believe sometimes but he is…my friend."

"So you are blind, I'm grateful, I just wish he wasn't so hopeful, but then I again I wouldn't have fallen for him either I suppose." Éclaire walked away, leaving Haruhi with her thoughts.

Staring at the ground Haruhi wondered: Was I that blind? Did I have feelings back then? I like him now…I know I am important to him, just like the other host club members, but do have a different place in his heart, a special place. I don't understand it…I just…Thunder cracked through her thoughts, "Ah," she squealed. She ducked under the bench covering her ears, that's when she felt the drops of rain on her back. It was so cold causing her to shiver a bit.

Searching frantically for her, Tamaki searched everywhere. Why did I Alice kiss me? I thought she was my friend. Why did Haruhi run? Perhaps the display was just disgusting for her. He put the back of his hand against his forehead and sighed. He just didn't understand what upset Haruhi so much. Unless…NO…she couldn't, well she did almost kiss me again…but she took off. "Haruhi is the most confusing woman I ever met!" he announced loudly. "I suppose that is why I care for her so much. She has always been different than anyone I ever known. The only girl who could really have my heart…the only girl who…huh," Tamaki looked up to see lightning and then he heard it, "fears thunder." His violet eyes widened. He began to run as fast as his body would allow him. He was in a complete state of panic as he searched for her, "Haruhi!"

She heard him, it had to be him. He always seemed to find her when the weather was bad, coming to rescue so many times before. "Tamaki," Thunder roared and she covered her ears again.

He saw her hiding. If she weren't so frightened, she would be so cute. He gazed down at where she was, and then got down under with her. Tears were falling down her eyes. He wrapped an arm around here. "I'm here my darling Haruhi, you can depend on me for now, no need to be independent for a little bit," He whispered gently. She felt so comfortable just like she did so many times before.

The ballroom had been brightly lit up, glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and the staircase was covered in white carpet with silver trimming. Haruhi noted all the couples were dancing, swirling around in perfect sway with the music. She was just standing talking with Aiko, helping Tamaki play matchmaker again. The guy liked a girl a named Sakura and it was believed she liked him back, but both were pretty shy, so Tamaki devised a plan.

Tamaki had seen her in the distance. She had looked lovely that night, wearing a pink dress that contrasted against her pale skin. Also on top her head was a curly brown wig. She was dressed up because Tamaki needed her help getting Sakura to confess her feelings for a guy. Haruhi was going to just spur a little jealous while Tamaki did the same for Aiko. It was going to work perfectly, but then a loud crack was heard, and the lights went out. All he could think about was were was his darling 'daughter.' Desperately searching the darkness, he couldn't find her anywhere. "Oh No Haruhi!" he searched frantically bumping into several people.

He tripped over a body landing backwards. "Haruhi!" he called.

"Senpai" the voice squeaked.

"Oh my darling daughter is that you?"

"Ye—s!" she screeched as another loud sound was heard.

"Well, I'm here," He touched her back, lightly and she felt a little more at ease.

"I can feel you senpai," she whispered back. In the next moment the lights went on, Haruhi still heard the loud noise, but looking up she saw two people sharing a kiss. It was Sakura and Aiko. Tamaki smiled down at her. She knew that he always be the one to protect her from the storms.

Just as the memory faded so did the storm. A realization hit Haruhi. Since Hikaru and several other host club members had comforted her, it would seem she felt the same level of security around them. However she didn't, she didn't feel the same around the others. It suddenly hit her, this feeling, all this confusion it all added to one thing: She was in love!
