Haruhi shook her head as Tamaki asked if she wanted to go for a walk.
"I'm fine." She muttered. Instantly, Kyouya swooped down upon Tamaki.
"Leave my daughter alone my lord." He said. The twins then snuck up behind the girl.
"Hey, Haruhi, we found a really awesome cave, want to come explore it with us?"
"No thanks." Haruhi said.
"Aw, come on! It will be fu-ah!" The twins never finished as Kaoru was grabbed by Tamaki and Hikaru was grabbed by Kyouya and dragged away. Haruhi sighed, annoyed. She could hear the four boys arguing in the background; so much for peaceful.
As the sun began to set, Tamaki proposed the idea of having a campfire. Mori volunteered to find firewood, and Haruhi decided to go with him just too at last have some time to herself. Following him into the woods, she grinned. Because Mori was so quiet, no unnatural sound pierced the air.
"Haruhi…" Mori grunted. Turning, Haruhi turned her grin into a smile.
"Yes Mori-senpai?" She asked.
"You carry the first load." Haruhi nodded and allowed firewood to be piled into her arms. Walking back to camp, she dropped the wood into a pile and wandered back to find Mori. Seeing him, she nodded.
"What should I be looking for?" She asked as he passed with an armful of wood.
"Dead trees," Mori said simply. Shrugging, Haruhi began breaking limbs off of the trees Mori had pointed to. She came to a good, but tough limb. Struggling, she tried to detach it, but it stayed put. Grunting, she tried again. Suddenly, a strong hand curved over hers as Mori stepped up behind her. With out a word, he pushed down and the branch cracked off. Haruhi blushed.
"Thanks Mori-senpai…" she muttered. Mori looked at her, studying her it seemed.
"Welcome." Turning, Mori lifted the pile of branches and walked away. "We're finished Haruhi." He said. Haruhi sighed and followed.
"Grrr! Did you see that mom?! He touched her! He did! He made physical contact with our daughter!"
"He helped her get firewood by placing his hand on hers. That's hardly a cause for alarm."
"You stopped me from hugging my daughter, yet you allow him to do something so wrong?!" Kyouya sighed. They were sitting in a tree, Tamaki having dragged him along to spy on 'their' daughter.
"Look, you wanted to come, it's your own fault you saw it!" He snapped angrily. Tamaki looked momentarily hurt, but he waved it off, leaping to the ground.
"I just want what's best for my daughter, Kyouya…chan." He grinned evilly and ran off, giggling as Kyouya chased him with a tree branch.
