Chapter Twenty-Eight "A Night to Celebrate"

Author: Woot, finally I can get back to the romance and boy do I have plans. As I stated, I'm ending this fanfic soon and possibly starting a sequel. However, make sequel will be different and good. Hehe, but first the romance. Please enjoy my friends. ^^

POV: Haruhi

It was like a crazy train hitting me. A dream that I thought was over, but clearly wasn't. I remember being in this world, so different and strange and then waking up back to reality. That's what this whole thing felt like. It felt like a dream to me and I just woke up. I remember my name being called over and over and I remember waking up to every one around me. This dream was the reality I was still dealing with.

"Haruhi, are you alright?" A familiar voice asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just had a terrible head ach and…hey, Hikaru. Why are you taller than me?" I asked him.

"It's because Nekozawa put you and Tamaki under another curse, not realizing who you actually were. So for now you're your self again. You should be happy,"

I looked down at my body. He was right. Femalish in every way. I had my curves and my small chest again. I guess you can say I was happy. Being Tamaki all the time puts pressure on you, but at least I get a break. Looks like I'm myself for a while. I turned my body and head over to see and a happy Tamaki hugging himself. Geeze, he must love himself…too much. Still, I'm happy he is himself as well. Hopefully he didn't do anything to my body while I was away from it.

"So Haruhi, are you happy to be yourself again?" Kyouya asked, helping me up.

"Yeah I'm glad. I can actually walk around as me and not have to worry about fangirls chasing me all day. Well, I still do as me, but not as bad. You'd be surprise how many fangirls like me for me,"

"I know Haruhi. I keep a record of it,"

"You keep a reward of all the fangirls I have?"

"No, I keep a percentage,"

"Oh,"

"HARUHI!!!!!!" Tamaki said running at me.

"Uhh…hi senpai,"

"Oh Haruhi I get to hug you again!!!!"

"You hugged me when you were me senpai. How does that make a difference?"

"Well, it does when you're not yourself. I missed seeing my little daughter's face. It was bad seeing my charming face all day. I felt like crying and weeping, but now we're back!!!"

I started walking off and he followed me. God, he is annoying when he wants be. No, strike that. He's annoying all the time.

"You know Haruhi; I bet your body probably smells bad by now. You should take a shower while the offering is good," Kyouya said, once again trying to be smart and cause problems.

"Well…I…fine! I mean, I haven't bathed in over…let's see. Hmm, probably six months a little bit more maybe. It's been a while, so a bath would be great by now. Does this school have public showers?"

Every one laughed at me. Of course, this school is too rich. Why would they have public baths. God damn these rich kids.

"Haruhi, Haruhi, Haruhi. We don't like sharing showers," Hikaru said as he placed his arm on my shoulder.

"Instead we have our own showers with the exact settings that we like to bathe at. the only thing this school shares,"

"Is a public bath house,"

"Since when does our school have a bath house?" I asked curiously.

"Since last year," Kyouya said.

"Why didn't any one tell me?"

"Because during that time you were sick and wouldn't listen to any one,"

"I-never mind. I'm taking my shower now,"

I left the room and headed down stairs into the P.E. area and found the showers. There was a private one labeled with my name on it and I went in. I took off everything, but then I looked down at my hand. I forgot I had on the ring. I didn't know what would happen if I took it off or had it on in the shower. I didn't want to take any chances. I left it on and headed into the shower.

The water felt nice against my skin. I hadn't showered in so long; I almost forgot what it felt like to have warm water against my body. I could see the dirt come right off my skin and the nice water felt good, removing the dirt. I did look at my skin and there weren't bruises or anything. Seems like Tamaki has been taking care of me as he promised.

Maybe I should give senpai one more chance. He wants us back to normal and as Kyouya stated the only way to get back is to love each other. I had forgotten that for a while now and if I want to be me, then I need to accept this. Still, something seems to pull me back. My heart says I like him, but not in the same way he wants. How can I accept this? How can I share the same feelings with him? He is just stupid and dumb, but handsome and sweet. He is my opposite and I am his opposite. I just don't know how we manage to get along. We shouldn't be even this close.

Suddenly the bath water was too hot for me and I quickly jumped out. I was so lost in thought I wasn't paying attention. I grabbed a towel and went to change. I was done here. Instead of me changing into the school uniform, I thought I'd surprise senpai. This time, something told me I should give him another chance. I was lucky, my father always packed a spare outfit and this time, it was a dress. It was that same dress I wore at the beach. The one senpai likes. I also fixed my hair and put in a few clips. Like the ones I wore during my summer break, but a lighter pink. I put some light make up on and went back to the Third Music Room. I opened the door and every one looked at me in shock.

"Haruhi…" Hunny said, titling his head off to the side.

"I know you guys. I'm in a dress," I replied.

"You look…" Kaoru started to say.

"Hey guys I'm-" Tamaki walked in and paused.

His eyes were glued on me, looking up and down and blushing. He put his towel down and fell onto the floor. His mouth was wide open and he turned as red as a tomato.

"It's alright senpai. I know what your thinking, so don't go there. I did this for you senpai. Before we end back up as each other, I thought we'd go…out some where,"

"Like a date!!!???" He said with puppy dog eyes.

"Not exactly like a-"

"Oh Haruhi!!!!" He ran toward me and hugged me to death. Once again, I couldn't breathe.

"Senpai, get off!!!"

"No!" He kept hugging me and I sighed.

"Looks like you two will have fun tonight," Hikaru said smiling.

"Yeah well I'm doing this for personal reasons. Not like I wanted to," I lied through my teeth, but I had to. If they knew the real reason, thing they might use that against me.

I dragged Tamaki out of the room and waved good bye. Me and lover boy would get back on good terms and just have fun tonight with nothing ruining our plans. Just a nice simple night. Tamaki this time was acting more like a gentle man than his usual self. This was something I liked about him, when he actually acted like a normal person.

"So Haruhi," Tamaki said turning to me.

"Hmm, yes senpai?"

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see," I winked at him and he blushed. I then laughed and smiled and pulled him forward. I can't believe I even did that. I'm I…flirting? Naha! Haruhi Fujioka would NEVER do such a thing.

I took him to the beach where I guess we had our first love experience. The sun was just setting now and everything was perfect for this moment. This was time Haruhi would express her love. My love for Tamaki. Only I would do this. Yet, I felt scared. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer towards the water.

"Haruhi, don't be afraid. You don't have worry about me," He said charming me.

"It's not that senpai. I'm not worried,"

"Then what is it?"

"I…I just wanted to make you have the best day of your life," I smiled at him, but I knew I was lying.

"The truth is senpai; I just want to tell you…I love you,"

I started to cry a little and Tamaki turned towards me and whipped my tear.

"You ok Haruhi?" He asked.

"I'm fine senpai…" more tears started to pour down my face and I tried to smile, but I couldn't. Something was telling me to run, but how could I? I didn't want him to worry, but I was. This feeling…it's hard to control now.

"Haruhi, why don't we head home. I'll make us dinner. I've been learning lately,"

I half smiled at him and he picked me up and carried me to his place. I snuggled into his chest and he seemed to smile, even through I didn't see it.

"Haruhi…"

I looked up at Tamaki for a minute, only to hear these words that would last a life time.

"Thank you for everything. You really mean the world to me,"

I cried some more and went back into snuggling.

"You're welcome…Tamaki,"
