Ok…I know school is really a bad excuse as to why I'm not updating…and really that doesn't cover it all maybe I just can't write since this story…is (how can I say it…) coming to an end! Yes, Haruhi and Tamaki's story is ending…but somehow it may be a big deal for me and for some well you may not care but really if you liked this imperfect story I'll finish it to the end and I'll try not to disappoint you with the ending…so enough speeches here's chapter 20

Chapter 20-Motives

Tamaki looked at the vast Aoigiri Mansion…the mansion that stole his everything…

Yes, his everything…

Haruhi…

Memories flooded back to him…

That time when they were about to fall from the bridge, their first tight hug, their first kiss, him eating pancakes at Haruhi's house, Times at the Sakura tree and the first times at the Host club…the party where they played a duet…their dance…they were such good memories

And now…

SMACK!

"Ow!!" Tamaki screamed…

Someone hit him on the head…and honestly it hurt…

"What are you doing standing around here like the idiot you are!!" Someone said in a rushed but clear voice…

Tamaki slowly turned around still rubbing his head…

"Yuuki?"

Yuuki was also dressed for the party…

Tamaki's face became emotional….then…

"What do you mean the IDIOT YOU ARE!" he put extra emphasis on 'idiot you are'

Yuuki's irritated face became furious and…

SLAP!

Tamaki didn't get it first a smack on the head now a slap on the cheek…

"Now, what was that for!?" he wanted an explanation…

"The smack was for standing around, the slap was for what are you still doing here?!"

"Huh?"

Yuuki sighed her temper seemed to subside…

"Haruhi"

That name was enough to make him flinch and forget everything…

"What about her?"

Yuuki shook her head in disappointment…

"If you think she's marrying Kyouya because she wants to…then you should ponder everything…"

"Eh?"

Then she entered the double doors showing her invitation…

Tamaki didn't move…he just stood there staring at her retreating figure…

You should ponder on everything…

Then he ran…in what direction inside outside or somewhere else who knows?

At the party…

"Yuu-chan!" Honey called out to her…then hugged her and sobbed…

Yuuki wrapped her arms around Honey in a way a little sister would…

"Honey"

"I don't understand….Haru-chan loves Tama-chan!"

Mori put his hand on Honey's head for extra comfort…

"Mitsukini…"

"Why is she marrying Kyou-chan! And the host club hasn't been open at all!" Honey complained…

"Cross!"

Two voices in perfect synchronization called…

"Kaouru, Hikaru"

"What the hell is happening?!" Hikaru exclaimed

"Haruhi and Kyouya-sempai" Kaoru said more calmly than Hikaru…

Yuuki lowered her head…In defeat…

A feedback in the microphone interrupted their thoughts…

The woman who had caused so many conflicts, difficulties, problems…stood on the grand stage with her usual hidden smirk…

"Good Evening everyone, today you are here to witness my granddaughter's engagement to Kyouya Ootori, the youngest son of Yoshio Ootori…"

The spotlight appeared on the stairs…

Haruhi and Kyouya were walking down the stairs…

Kyouya had her arm on Kyouya's…

Kyouya was smirking as usual…as if this was just another normal event…

While Haruhi's head was bowed low…her face unreadable…

Everyone clapped except one party…

They felt as if Haruhi and Kyouya were not the ones they knew…

Yuuki kept sending glances at Haruhi but she didn't seem to notice…

Kyouya was busy talking to different businessmen his hand still on Haruhi's

When people would congratulate them he would smile and say…

"Arigatou gozaimasu"

And Haruhi would just nod…

After dinner it seemed Haruhi finally noticed them…

After looking at everyone briefly the longest one was to her best friend…she knew there was something no specifically 'someone' missing…after that she turned her head away…

Then Haruhi and Kyouya went to the stage…

When they were center stage the spotlight returned…

Kyouya went and took the mike…

He kneeled, took Haruhi's hand and kissed it…he took out a ring from a box…

And put it on Haruhi's ring finger…he kissed the ring then pressed his lips on each of her gloved fingers…

Haruhi didn't react her thoughts seemed to be elsewhere as everybody clapped…

So he didn't notice when Kyouya's face drew closer to hers as he lightly gave her a kiss on the cheek…and rested his head as if he was tired on Haruhi's shoulder facing her neck…

The crowd gaped…

Haruhi was shocked by the action…

Then a blond stood outside…a tear falling from his cheek…
