Haruhi hurried down the street at a fast pace. She could hear footsteps close behind her.

Why is this person following me? And is it just me or is he getting closer? She quickened her pace. Almost home, then she could call the police. As she crossed the street, she stole a glance at the sidewalk to try and catch a glimpse of the person following her. It was the fourth time this week. The only person she could see was a man wearing a black jacket and sunglasses leaning against a fence.

"I guess they decided to stop, or I'm just being paranoid," Haruhi said to herself as she continued to make her way home.

Just as suddenly as the footsteps had stopped they began once more. This time, for some reason, they seemed alot closer. Again she quickened her pace and kept telling herself that she was probably just paranoid. So then, why was she in such a hurry now? The footsteps behind her also seemed to begin to quicken their pace. That's when she decided it would be better to run and lock herself in her apartment where she could safely call the police. But the person behind also started to run. Her apartment came into view. Almost home.

But just as she made it into the parking lot, she slipped in a puddle of water left from last night's rain. Her knee began to hurt as she quickly got back up and began making it up the stairs. As Haruhi searched her bookbag for her keys, she felt a hand on her shoulder and immediatly turned ready to punch her stalker in the face. To her surprise, her large brown eyes met with to smiling lavender eyes.

"Tamaki-senpai? Were you the one following me?" Haruhi asked.

"I couldn't let my precious walk home all by herself. Who knows what could have happened?" He responded.

She smacked him on the back of the head. "And chasing me down the street was suppose to help?!"

Tamaki rubbed his head, "Well I normally just hide some where nearby but you dropped your notebook and I wanted to return it."

Haruhi grabbed the notebook he held out and hit him on the head with it. "Baka! You should have just said so instead of scaring the hell out of me."

She went into the apartment and slammed the door shut muttering under her breathe.

"Haruhi?"
