Hehe…I'm glad the last chapter had some good feedback…well…anywayz…I should just hurry this up since I'm on real time pressure…to update that is…so here it is already…

Chapter 19-Triumph Card

"Tadaima" she said as she opened the door…

"Haruhi? Welcome back" she heard Ranka say

"Oto-san, why are you here so early?"

"We didn't have that much costumers…" Ranka said as he continued to browse a channel…

He sighed…there was nothing good…

"Might as well watch the news…"

"Breaking news!"

"The Suoh company owned by Yuzuru Suoh is said to be going bankrupt…it is said that someone is planning to buy out all their stocks...and also to claim Ouran Academy…"

Haruhi's eyes widened…then narrowed…That old hag…

Ranka also looked at the news with interest…

"Suoh? Isn't that the brat's company?"

Suddenly the phone rang…

Haruhi picked it up even without hearing the voice she knew who this caller was…

"Moshi moshi…"

"Haruhi?" it was Kimiko's voice full of triumph…

"I presume you've seen the news…"

"Yeah I saw it"

"I'll repeat my demands, quit the host club, marry Kyouya Ootori and never speak to your lover, Tamaki Suoh again…and I'll drop my claims on their company…" then she hanged up…

"Wai-!" Haruhi tried to say but it was too late…

The words played back in Haruhi's mind…

Quit the host club, marry Kyouya-sempai and never speak to Tamaki…

Those were her grandmother's demands…

For her they were all impossible…how she could abandon the host club…marry someone she didn't love and never speak to Tamaki…

Never speak to your lover…

The way she regarded Tamaki he seemed like someone second to Kyouya…

Ranka turned off the t.v. and approached her daughter…

"Haruhi?"

Haruhi didn't reply…she dialed the phone again…

Ranka was clueless as to what she was trying to do…

"Obaa-sama?"

"I agree to everything you say…so please drop your demands on the Suoh Company…" she said with misery but with determination as well

Suoh mansion…

Tamaki dialed Haruhi's number yet again…it was still busy…Maybe her father's talking to someone…

Someone knocked on the door…

"Come in" Tamaki said nonchalantly he was trying to dial Haruhi's number again…

It was his father…

"Tamaki."

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to call Haruhi but their phone is busy…"

"Have you tried calling her cellphone?"

Tamaki paused he obviously didn't think of that…

"Well…she sometimes turns it off so…" he stopped trying to explain and grabbed his cellphone…

His father sighed…

"Listen to me first…"

Tamaki continued to look for her number…

"Tamaki!" there was anger in his voice already…

Against his will he turned around…

"What?"

"Haruhi-san and Kyouya-kun's engagement party is tomorrow"

Tamaki's eyes widened…Engagement party?

He dropped his head…didn't Haruhi say she wasn't going to marry Kyouya?

"Why?"

"Because…it is my fault" his father said

He looked at his father…

"Your fault?"

"Kimiko-san threatened to steal our company including Ouran…she must have blackmailed Haruhi into this…"

"So that was why…" Everything was finally falling into place…Haruhi's ignorance…Her not showing up to the Host club…

And here I thought she was starting to like Kyouya…

"Haruhi is doing all this for me…"

"Technically it's for me since I own the company" Yuzuru teased

Tamaki made a face…way to ruin the mood…
