Personal business

-------------

"Haruhi! Why won't you go out with me! I've asked you so many times, tell me WHY" asked an insistent Shin. Haruhi looked down and kept quiet. She was well aware of Shin's affection towards her but chose to ignore it. It wasn't that Shin was a bad person, he was really nice to her and all but . . . the way that he was always near her during class and around her during breaks made him a tinsy bit annoying.

"Look, Shin, I just want to be friends. I don't feel that I'm ready for a relationship." She said slowly. She looked up slowly. Thud! Shin pushed her against the wall.

"What did I do wrong? Huh?" Haruhi winced at the menace in his voice.

"Shin, we're in the middle of a busy corridor in school and people are looking –"

"I DON'T CARE！TELL ME!" She flinched at the strength he was using against her arms.

All of a sudden, Shin's face was hovering over haruhi's face and his body was pressed onto hers.

"Shin, please stop" She whispered, afraid to go any louder. Why does he have to do this? Stop, please. She shut her eyes.

All of a sudden, she couldn't feel his dark shadow looming over her. She blinked and saw Shin's body crumpled on the floor. What happened. Haruhi looked down the corridor and saw Kyoya walking down, several metres away.

"Sorry, you guys were blocking up half the corridor" He waved a hand and called back.

Haruhi quickly got her belongings and ran to keep up with him.

"Thanks Kyoya" She said gratefully.

"What for?" He asked. Haruhi looked up at him in confusion.

"For punching Shin"

"You guys were blocking the corridor. Your personal business had nothing to do with me, next time, take it inside an empty classroom. It's disgusting in public" He said flatly.

Haruhi whipped around in fury. "You think I was doing it out of my own will?"

Kyoya shrugged. "I told you, I don't care about your personal matters but since its personal, keep it private"

Haruhi punched Kyoya hard on the arm before turning into a classroom.

Kyoya continued walking with an amused smile on his face. Haruhi's punch was so weak, Kyoya doubted it could've killed a cockroach. He walked onto the grass area of Tokyo University and inhaled the fresh air outside. He settled himself down under a tree. As he leaned back, he began to think. Why did I punch Shin? He remembered the firey creature within him when he saw Shin leaning on Haruhi. Whatever was between them had nothing to do with me. Whatever it was, he had no right to butt in. He frowned But Haruhi seemed grateful.

The image of the two leaning on the wall popped in his head. Once again, Kyoya could feel the firey creature thrashing about inside of him. Am I . . . jealous?

-------------

Haruhi's eyes were glued to the teacher however, her mind was elsewhere. She felt like strangling Kyoya. Him and his insensitive comments.

"Shin?" The teacher called out. "Is Shin here today? Is he absent?"

Haruhi sank lower in her seat, she could feel everyone's eyes on her. Stop staring please. Seconds ticked past as no one gave the teacher a reply.

Finally someone called out "Shin is in sick bay Miss. He'll probably be absent for the day"

"Okay, we'll begin class then."

-------------

"Haruhi? May I see you for a moment?" Miss Rinko tapped her shoulder.

Class had finished and everyone was filing out the door.

"Oh, sure" Haruhi replied puzzled.

"Is everything alright? You seemed to be spacing out in class today." Miss Rinko asked in concern.

"Oh no, I'm fine. Sorry for spacing out, I'll pay attention next time" Haruhi quickly gathered her things and rushed out the door.

Kyoya was home already. "Good afternoon Haruhi"

She ignored him and went to her room. After a few minutes, she heard a knock on her door. Stupid Kyoya.

"What?" She asked irritably.

"It's me, Koaru"

"Come in."

"Are you alright?" Koaru asked her.

"No"

". . . Ok, I was expecting 'I'm fine' but never mind. What's wrong? Did someone do something to you at school?" Koaru grinned.

"How'd you know?" She looked up.

"Oh, I was walking home and heard some people talking. Getting it on in a corridor during school? Tut Tut Haruhi" Koaru smirked.

"GET OUT!" Haruhi glared at him. "That wasn't true! Get out before I throw my computer at you!"

A/N: Gahhh, I'm sorry for such a late update TT. I have exams these few weeks. ''. Back to the story, there is more drama now in the story with some misconception with Haruhi and Shin. Hopefully everything will be cleared up soon.

Let's all twiddle out thumbs and wait for the next chapter XD.
