Ichigo: Hello everyone! I've finally updated. Sorry for the wait. Things got a little crazy here at home. Ehe! But, anyways, here we go!


Haruhi slid on the gray bathrobe Kyouya allowed her to borrow. It's silky hem brushed the tops of her knees as she walked across the hallway. She stopped when she was met Kyouya, who had just climbed to the top of the steps. He curtly eyed her, it was hard to know what he was thinking as he did so.

"Ah, Kyouya-Senpai, where did you put my bags?" Haruhi asked him without a single thought. He simply started walking down the hall. Haruhi took this as a sign to follow him. Soon enough the two stopped in front of a cherry-wood door.

"Here." He said while opening the door for her. "This is where Fuyumi-neesan used to stay. It will be your room now."

"Thanks." Haruhi cocked her head to the side. "You have a sister, Kyouya-senpai?"

Kyouya froze, a slight irate look on his face. "Ah. I haven't mentioned her to you?" He asked, lowering his head. "Well, yes. I had a sister." Kyouya said while turning to leave.

"Had?" Haruhi questioned, curiosity getting the best of him.

Kyouya spoke in a hash whisper through his teeth. "Yes. Had." And with that he closed himself into a room two doors down.

Haruhi stood and blinked twice before closing and locking her door behind her. An hour or two later, a soft knock came to Haruhi's bedroom door. "Mistress Fujoika, dinner is ready." A shy timid voice came from the other side of he door.

"Probably a maid." Haruhi thought. Upon exiting the room she found a beautiful girl, who couldn't be more than twenty, she was wearing a maids outfit, and had her silky brown hair tied back in a bun.

"Thank you." Haruhi said softly to her, afraid that if she spoke to loud the delicate girl might break in two. She bowed and walked off to complete more chores. Haruhi made her way down the steps and to the enormous dining room. Already seated at the table where Kyouya and Akito sat together.

"Thank you for dinner." Haruhi said while seating herself across from Kyouya. Kyouya simply nodded.

"Haruhi, this is my older brother, Akito."

Akito looked at her as if critiquing an art project. "Hello Fujioka-san."

"Hello." She bowed lightly in her seat, as the chef brought out trays of food. "Where is the rest of your family?"

"Father and is out with my other brother." Kyouya answered simply.

"And your, sister and mother?"

They both gave her sharp looks. Akito was first to speak. " Fuyumi-neesan is dead, and mother has been gone for almost two years."


Ichigo: please R&R… I would like at least five reviews before I get the next chapter up.
