"I Love You Haruhi" PART 5

That day, Haruhi went home and called Hikaru. "Hikaru, I think that we shouldn't go out for a while. Everyone seems to be really stressed out because of us," Haruhi suggested.

"Yeah, I think you're right," Hikaru agreed.

The next day, everyone was quiet. Even Hunny was quiet; he was scared to say anything.

A few days later, Haruhi was out in the hallway on her way home when she heard a familiar voice; it was Kyoya. "Haruhi?" he said. "I was just wondering what you were doing this Friday night."

"Nothing important. Why?" Haruhi replied.

"I just thought that you might want to go out to dinner with me." Kyoya answered.

"Oh, that sounds good. Will you pick me up?" Haruhi said.

"Yeah, I'll pick you up at seven thirty," Kyoya said, almost sounding nervous.

"Ok, see you Friday at seven thirty then," Haruhi said.

The week went by and everyone was silent. Friday arrived before Haruhi noticed. After classes on Friday, Haruhi went home to get ready. She did the same thing that she had done to get ready for her date with Hikaru. She took a long shower and calmed herself down as the warm water drops trickled down her body. As she climbed out of the shower, she heard her father calling, "Haruhi? What did you say you were doing tonight?"

"I'm going to a friend's house for dinner," Haruhi replied.

"Oh, ok. I just wanted to know," her father said.

Haruhi wrapped a towel around herself and walked into her room. She went to dresser and picked out a pretty outfit. She picked out a simple periwinkle blue dress with a darker blue sash. Haruhi put her make-up on and brushed her hair. Suddenly, Haruhi heard the doorbell. She grabbed her sparkly baby blue purse and rushed to the door. Kyoya was there waiting for her. He offered her his arm and she accepted. Kyoya escorted Haruhi to the town car waiting at the curb. He opened the door for her and she got in. Kyoya shut the door and walked to the other side of the car where he opened the door and got in.

During the drive to Kyoya's house, both of them were quiet. Haruhi was quiet because that's just the way she is. Kyoya was quiet more because he was nervous.

They reached Kyoya's house and walked in the huge doors. Kyoya led Haruhi to a dinning room where a mass of food was laid out on a long table. The chandelier above was dazzling and sparkled with the light from the dancing sun that was taking its last bows on the horizon. Haruhi was amazed at how beautiful everything looked.

"Your seat is right over here Haruhi," Kyoya said. He was beginning to regain his confidence.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Everything just looks so amazing," Haruhi replied.

Haruhi and Kyoya sat down. As they ate, the room was silent except for the clanging on the plates as they cut their food. Kyoya would stare at Haruhi until she would look up and see him, then he would quickly turn back to his food. After they finished their dinner, Kyoya brought Haruhi up to his room.

"Haruhi," Kyoya said. "What do you think of me?"

"What?" Haruhi asked, puzzled. "I think that you're a great person, and that your really smart."

"Oh, ok. I just wanted to know."

After a moment of silence, Kyoya leaned into Haruhi and gentle kissed her. Haruhi was surprised that he had kissed but even more surprised that she liked it. She kissed him back and it was beautiful. It was a passionate kiss that meant a lot. The moonlight was shining through the enormous windows and the room was silent. Kyoya gently maneuvered Haruhi to the bed where he laid her down. Before Haruhi knew it, he was on top of her. "Kyoya wait," Haruhi whispered. "I don't think that I'm ready for something like this."

"I understand," Kyoya said, coming to his senses about what he was going to do. "I'm sorry that I came on to you like that."

"Can you just kiss me again?" Haruhi asked, wanting more.

Kyoya didn't have to say anything, he kissed her again. Haruhi became weak in the knees and Kyoya had to catch her. He laid her on the bed because she was obviously tired. Kyoya walked over to the couch at the other end of the room and sat there watching her sleep. After a while, he started to feel chilly so he quietly climbed into bed with her, keeping his distance so that she wouldn't wake up and think the worst.

The next morning, Haruhi woke up and was startled when she rolled over and found Kyoya there. Haruhi was confused, the night before was a blur except for that wonderful kiss. She couldn't even remember what she had for dinner. What happened last night? What was she going to tell her dad? All of this rushed through her head before she realized that Kyoya had woken up.

"What happened?" she asked him, wanting some answers.

"Nothing, we kissed, that's all," Kyoya said assuring her that they hadn't gone that far.

"Oh, ok. What time is it?" Haruhi asked

"It's about nine o'clock, why?" Kyoya replied.

"It's just that my dad's gonna be worried about me," she answered.

"Oh, don't worry about your dad. He came by last night to pick you up and a maid told him you were going to sleep over," Kyoya said.

"Thanks, I don't know what I would have told him," Haruhi said, feeling relieved. "I should probably get cleaned up and go home."

"I'll drive you back if you want," Kyoya suggested.

"That would be great. Thanks," Haruhi said, thanking him.

After Haruhi got herself washed up, Kyoya guided her to the front door where a town car was waiting for them. Kyoya opened the door for Haruhi and then walked to the other side of the car where he got in. During the long car ride, Kyoya and Haruhi were quiet. As they pulled up to Haruhi's house, her dad was outside waiting for her. The car came to a halt and Haruhi climbed out. She walked to the door and then turned back. Kyoya opened his window and yelled, "See you on Monday Haruhi." She waved back and then stepped into her house. The first thing she heard was her father asking, "So, how was it?"

"It was good. Dinner was great," Haruhi answered, nervous that her father had an idea of what happened.

"That's good," her dad answered, clueless as to what happened.

Haruhi walked to her room and shut the door.
