Disclaimer: I do not own Host Club; no matter how I wish it, Tamaki will never be mine. Anyhow don't sue the poor college student.
Chapter 13:
Limitless Love
"I'm here to speak with my fiance," he stated with as little nervousness as possible, gripping his sunglasses.
"I have been informed that you and the mistress are no longer engaged to one another," The bulter replied in a polite, but not caring tone.
"And who told you that?"
"She did sir."
"I see," Hikaru looked shamefully down at the ground. "Well, she did not inform me."
"Well, I'm sorry sir, but…,"
"Jiro, who is keeping you at the door? Mother is about to have a break down up here…,"
"Hikaru," the name softly escaped her lips with much love as any day. The over-sized shirt almost swallowed her whole, the jeans barely clung to her, and she…wasn't trying to be fashionable at all. Saddness had to be consuming her because she only dressed like that when she was depressed. Hikaru knew this better anyone, actually in his opinion anyone who dressed like that had to be depressed.
"Yoko, may I speak with you alone?"
"I…I…guess it is okay." Stepping outside, she waved her bulter off, "Jiro go check on my mother please. I will handle this." The bulter bowed politely, then shut the door. For a moment there was silence and Hikaru forgot how to breathe.
Hunny pulled the cake out of the oven with a bright smile. After cooling the cake it was then put together with plain white icing. Mori made ripples with purple icing on the side of the desert. Then Hunny made little pink and purple roses which he placed on each layer of the cake, putting two purple roses on top. Squeezing some of the pink icing perfectly to form the words: "Congralutions Haruhi and Tamaki, finally together!" Hunny smiled. He looked at the cake in pure awe and Mori simply nodded his approval.
Kyoya was a man with power and who used it quiet often to make people do as he wished. He had called the girl who was originally supposed to play Missy, payed her a lot of money, then got her a great role in another movie. Then he timed things so Tamaki and Haruhi would have the most amount of time they possibly could together. Every awakard situation he was able to fix. Now he had arranged for every road block in Haruhi's path to the former host king to be removed. This is why he couldn't understand when it came to the one thing he seem to want more than anything he had, he wasn't using as much of his power as he could. Why wasn't he forcing Arisa's hand?
He looked over to her green eyes seemed to be looking beyond him. Perhaps, she was thinking of what was going to happen with her friend. She truly was a caring and compassionate woman, as well as beautiful. Everything about her seemed, well not perfect…but perfect for him. The phone rang.
Haruhi pulled into the airport and jumped out of her car. She ran right through security, not registering how empty the place appeared to be. It was most likely cleared to keep Tamaki from being mauled by fans. The real question was: why the hell was someone who was used to having a private helicopator flying commerical? Her heart pounded faster in anticipation; she was so close. She stopped for a moment looking around the empty room. "Where are you, idiot?" She ran to peer over the window. There he was outside getting on the plane. Desperately, she scanned the airport for an exit. There. She noted the gate to flight 17. She hoped she reached him in time.
"The Host Girl has arrived sir." A man whispered into his walkie talk watching her as he came out from his hiding place. "What action do you wish me to proceed with, sir?"
"Just make sure she gets outside without any problems."
"Yes of course sir," the man shut off the walkie talkie than proceed towards outside.
Kyoya looked over to Arisa and Sharon, "Things are going according to plan without any complications," The girls grinned at each other.
"I don't understand. What you are doing here?"
"Why shouldn't I be here, I have the money to go anywhere I want."
"I see…" she look thoughtful for a moment and small smile appeared on her lips, "well there is no doubt that you are not Kaoru pretending to be you."
"No, you are one of the few people other than Haruhi who could tell the differences between us almost immediately."
"Did you come here to talk about Haruhi, because I'm not interested." Crossing her arms and turning around to go back inside she let out an "hmph."
"You really are jealous." He teased from behind a small grin played on his lips.
"I am not, I just don't understand what are you doing here? I freed you from our engagement. You are no longer forced to bond with my family."
"Who said this had anything to do with your family?"
"Isn't everything in the rich world to do with the entire family?" Her voice quivered.
"Not this."
"Naturally, it does." Facing him, she gave him a harsh glare. "We wouldn't be together if it wasn't for our families. This is what they want." She clenched her hands.
"You don't want this?" He frowned slightly, this was not going the way he hoped at all.
"Not like this…," bitting her lip as she whispered it. Tears began to fall, "Never like this." Shaking her head in denial she try to hold back some of the tears, but they just kept falling.
"Then," he approached closer grabbing her hand as he gazed into her beautiful eyes that were now glistening from wetness, "How did you want it?"
Haruhi could fell the energy leaving her as she dashed towards the airplane. Memories of another time came to mind:
flash
"Senpai, let go!" she demanded as he hugged her tightly.
"But you are so cute! I can't help myself!"
"I don't care! Let me go now." She tried breaking free from him. Arms flying everywhere, but he held on tight, like she was his lifeline.
"Tamaki, we need get for the valentine's party tommorrow." Kyoya stated adjusting his glasses looking over the clipboard in his hands.
flash
"Haruhi! You look beautiful." Tamaki held out his hand, "Shall we dance."
"I suppose, you won't leave me alone if we don't."He took her hand, then guided her onto the floor, and she gazed up at him with fondness.
"Why do all the girls fall for you?"
"Why shouldn't they?"
She pointed a finger upward. "Because your obnoxious, clinging, and the most emotional man I have ever met." He turned white and then found himself a corner.
flash
The better question now was why was she falling for him? Why was she running as fast she could, deseperately not wanting to lose any of the future memories her and the host club could make together, but most of all her and Tamaki.
Tamaki was boarding the airplane, saying goodbye. Again. Though more dramatically than before.
"Tamaki!" she yelled. "Don't go!" She reached out a hand as she made her way up to him.
"But I have to," he answered. "I…" He was looking up towards the entry of the plane.
"No you don't, please don't." Tears were now pouring from her eyes, "You just thought you could leave me again. Why do you always assume you know what is best for me, idiot? Don't you have even faith in me taking care of myself?"
"Sorry Haruhi…" Tamaki replied, "but this is something I have to do," he began to head up on the plane, "I'm trying to…"
"Even if I…I told you I loved you?" she questioned. Tamaki froze, his violet eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. Suddenly there was a feeling of joy beyond anything he felt growing inside him, as he swayed with joy, moving closer to her.
"I want it to be because you love me!" Yoko declared.
"Isn't that what it has always been about?"
"No, it hasn't. I don't think it has ever been. I mean…if you loved me than why do you let Haruhi come closer to you."
"I see…don't you know Haruhi is just a friend, a girl I dated a couple times. I won't lie and say she isn't special to me, she was the first person who was just as important to me as my brother. But don't you know…you are the first person who is more important to me than his."
"Nice," She crossed her arms. "Did your brother help you with that speech, because that doesn't sound like the Hikaru I know."
"It is the honest truth! You are so stubborn! If you don't want to belive me that's fine!" He threw down his sunglasses. "Just so you know, I get more joy out of scaring you than anyone, that's how I knew I loved you. That…and I can never stop thinking about you." He added with a slight smile.
I knew it!" Yoko pointed a finger at him. "I knew you got a thrill out of scarring me and I bet it was you last Halloween that pulled that nasty trick on me. You devil!"
"Yeah, that was me, but what does it matter? It is obvious we are over, since you are sure you know what I feel!" He bent down to pick up his sunglasses, and then turned away. Trying to hold back the tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
"Uh…Hikaru," Noting the hesistation in her voice, he stopped. "I don't know what happened to my ring."
"You want a new one?" a small smile graced his lips.
"Yeah I do, but I don't think I want another engagement ring." He frowned a little, "At least not for now..."
"Okay, well we have a show to watch." He grabbed her by the hand and she sincerely smiled at him, but then she removed her hand. Confusion was clearly written on her face as she got a look of dismay.
"But…Hikaru, I'm dressed like a slum!" Pouting her lips as she whined.
He looked at her, once again noting what she was wearing, "I have plenty of dresses for you on the jet."
"Yay!" She jumped onto him, "Oh Hikaru please tell me you have something in silver, you know how good I look in it.
"You what?" Tamaki stared at her disbelief, and one hand was up by his ear as he hoped that he didn't hear her wrong. This could not be true. Dreaming of it for years and it being nowhere near coming true maybe it so unbelieveable. Now here she was looking so…well…there were no flashing lights, fireworks or music. For some reason that is what made it the most magical moment of all. It must be because he was always overwhelmed with flash that something without it was special.
"I love you." She stood firm looking up at him.
"Really," he grinned. "Really Haruhi?" He went down to where she was, his violet eyes lit up with joy as he looked up at her full of hope.
"Yes," she told him. "Yes, you are the biggest idoit I have ever met. And the most emotional, and you are completeing annoying…" He hugged her, confusing her.
"You are so cute!" Then he frowned as he pulled back, "Why are you saying such mean things in such a perfect moment?"
"What perfect moment? There is nothing perfect about this, I'm in love with an idiot." He turned white. "But I don't mind." Holding back his nerves, he gently grabbed Haruhi by the waist. Gazing deep into her eyes he waited for permission to…
Haruhi hit him on the head before saying, "Kiss me you baka." With those words Tamaki kissed her in a way she never thought he could. It was way better than the first, and beyond amazing. He had been gentle first, but then after being allowed access into her mouth, he tried to show her everything he was feeling at that moment.
He broke the kiss in the most serious sincere voice she ever heard he confessed, "I love you, too."
"Well, wow that was great, I think we should be able to use that," someone said, coming towards the couple. Haruhi looked over to find out where the voice was from. It was the director along with Alice who gave a sad smile. She then noticed the cameras.
"Yes, and a perfect ending has come to the Host Club once again!" Renge yelled through the mega phone, that was quickly snatched up by Sharon.
"That was so cute! Tamaki was so hot!" the blonde fangirl squealed with delight.
"This was just a scene!" Haruhi exclaimed. Her eyebrows twitched. Arisa was applauding, Kyoya had adjusted his glasses, the twins were grinning like devils with Yoko in between, Mori and Hunny had a big cake with them that said: Congratulations Haruhi and Tamaki, Together Finally.
She looked to the Host Club members, "Hikaru and Kaoru!" she shouted, "and Arisa you told me he was leaving!" pointing at her with a glare.
"He was, you were the one had failed to inquire why and what for?" Kyoya pointed out.
"Ah Haruhi," the twins began as she came down to their level, "You were too slow. Besides we were bored." She rolled her eyes.
"Is there anyone who didn't know?"
"I didn't know Haruhi," Tamaki told her. "I didn't know that you thought I was leaving, and do you really love me or did you just say that to get me to stay?" Haruhi's glare disappeared as she saw the broken man before her.
"Idiot, why did you think I asked you to kiss me? For a guy who has all the attention of almost every woman in the world, you sure are insecure."
"So you really love me!" he exclaimed in joy, jumping up to hug her. "Oh Haruhi, you are…I am so glad."
"Yeah, okay…now get off me idiot!" She shoved him aside. Life is going to get very complicated, I'm in love with an idiot.
Author's Note:
This chapter really gave me problems, but it is better than the first one, though I'm still not fully satisfied with it. It will due for now, I'm sure I'll revise it later. I like to thank my editor for the last two chapters, and any errors in this chapter were probably my fault because I revised a couple of things. My editor was a huge help overall! Okay, so that's the end, expect the epilogue, maybe…I'm having problems with it, but I pretty sure I'll post it in a couple weeks, maybe sooner. I'll keep working on it. Originally I was just going to include it with this chapter, but I don't want to make you wait any longer for the last chapter. So one more chapter and it will be officially completed.
Beta and Editor Forum: Anybody needing an editor or anyone wanting to do such a thing, might want to go there, hopefully we get a whole bunch of people together, and it will be easy for an editor be found by newer writers.
The story I will be doing next is: Give them something to talk about, though I'm probably going to change the title. It is the one where Tamaki and Haruhi have been best friends, and things start changing when he gets a girlfriend. Arisa and Sharon will be in it, as far as I know. I need an editor for that story!
Note for curiousity sake, I probably will include original Character profiles in the next chapter.
