*Author's note*
It's almost over…sigh…sorry for the long delay our sem-break started today and it's only less than a week waah…so sad well…after this chapter I guess I'll put a sort of epilogue which will really conclude everything this chapter will be much more happy and hopefully long…and maybe (if I write it good enough) a comedy filled one. I guess that's all…here it is…
Chapter 25-Before Anything Else
Haruhi and Kyouya were on their seat…Haruhi felt insecure with Tamaki's plan but all she could do was (even though it was hard, literally) to have faith in him.
Kyouya remained quiet. But glanced at Haruhi then said looking elsewhere
"So, how do you plan to ruin everything?" he said casually.
Haruhi felt uneasy with his statements. Although from the start Kyouya always said things that could make anyone feel uncomfortable. It was his nature, sometimes he seemed to do it unconsciously. And sometimes even Haruhi, felt that somewhat inferior presence
Haruhi didn't reply kept everything normal even her voice.
"I don't know what you mean"
Kyouya's eyes shifted to her for a second but then he closed them for awhile but opened them again. And smirked, pushing his glasses to the bridge of his nose, returning to his usual habits.
Yuuki was sitting behind them, suddenly her head bobbed up.
"Haru!!!"
Haruhi turned around and sighed. It was a good thing this was a private plane. But she couldn't help but remember Honey when Yuuki did that. Naturally energetic but threatening when offended or angry.
"What now?"
"When we get there…I'll give you and four-eyes a tour around New York!"
"I don't really…want to" she tried to say in the nicest but also bluntness way possible.
"Not interested" Kyouya stated as he was reading a newly-picked up book.
"I hope you are all enjoying the trip" a voice said. Jin slowly went to them his face with a small smile.
"Hai, it is very relaxing" Kyouya said looking up from his book and flashing his usual merit-full smile.
"It's okay" Haruhi said trying to keep Jin away as far as possible. It wasn't really because she disliked him. But when he fixed his eyes on you it seemed like Kimiko Aoigiri herself was watching you. Otherwise though, Jin was actually very welcoming
"Before we get to our destination, would it be okay to everyone to have a stop over in China?"
"Yeah, I'll buy some souvenirs, that way I'll have Japanese and Chinese to bring to Kaname!" Yuuki said excitedly.
"I don't mind" Haruhi whispered.
"I'm looking forward to it" Kyouya replied.
After a few hours…
"Haruhi-sama and company please go ahead and explore for awhile…"
"Haruhi-sama and company, I'm not just a baggage here!" Yuuki complained
"You are overreacting" Kyouya said his book still in hand but not reading it. He pushed his glasses again nonchalantly.
"Shut up four eyes" Yuuki said in a dead voice
Haruhi just sighed at their attitudes. Suddenly someone grabbed her hand.
"Yuuki?"
"Haru, enjoy yourself even for just awhile" she grinned. Haruhi nodded.
They spent about 2 hours looking around for souvenirs and other stuff in the end everyone managed to buy something except for Haruhi.
Then they had lunch…
While they ate, Yuuki kept talking to entertain.
"And China was the place of settlement!"
"Don't you think we study that in school?" Kyouya said.
A vein popped on Yuuki's face. "FYI, I wasn't entertaining you, I was entertaining Haruhi!"
"I didn't know any of that." Haruhi said to lighten everything up.
After lunch…
"Ne Haru, won't you buy anything?" Yuuki asked carrying another plastic of souvenirs.
Haruhi shook her head in disapproval. Seeing Kyouya… also carrying a few items.
Damn you rich bastards…
She thought. It was unbelievable that rich people could spend that much even more hard to believe that she could spend that much as well.
Then as they walked something caught her attention…
On a table…it was full of flowers…specifically cherry-blossom flowers…
She raised her head and looked at the vendor.
"Um, why are you selling cherry blossoms?" wondering that they were in china now and cherry blossoms really weren't that popular as much as in Japan.
"I went to Japan once, young lady and these caught my attention" The vendor said in almost an incoercible but a bit understandable Japanese.
What caught her attention was a pair of two cherry blossoms each on a different thin string.
She touched them curious…and realized they were maintained that way...Recent memories and a certain someone flooded back to her as she caressed them.
"Would you like to buy it?" the vendor said.
"If you buy both I'll give it at half price"
Haruhi almost wanted to buy them. But she decided not to, what was the point anyway…
"No, thank you"
When they went someplace to sit, Jin approached them his face grave.
"It's very urgent Kimiko-sama has given me news that as soon as we get there, the wedding will commence immediately."
"I thought the wedding would wait for a bit more?" Kyouya wondered.
"Kimiko-sama didn't give me a lot of details"
On the plane…
"Haru, why didn't you buy the sakura necklaces?"
"No reason, just didn't feel like it" she said but her thoughts were elsewhere right now, and the growing uneasiness was returning.
The next day…
"Haruhi-sama, Kyouya-sama and Yuuki-sama we have landed, we expect to fly with all of you again, perhaps on your honeymoon" the pilot joked over the speaker.
Haruhi stuck her tongue out in disgust.
After that a limo came and picked them up...
"Kimiko-sama is on a plane right now, she will be joining us soon, not later than tomorrow" Jin said as he got of the phone.
Main house…
As they evacuated the limousine, a crowd of people were outside the vast mansion some were on the garden having tea. Some stood up and moved toward them.
There was a woman with brown hair and gold eyes.
"Haruhi-chan, I presume it's so nice to finally meet you"
Other people with a lot of different but others identical approached them.
With welcomes, hellos, etc.
Then a man with scorching red eyes and blond hair and a woman with the same scorching but light red eyes and with dark brown hair identical to Yuuki's came towards them. Haruhi recognized them instantly as Yuuki hugged them.
It was Kaien Kurosaka and Juuri Kurosaka, in short Yuuki's parents.
They greeted Haruhi and Kyouya pleasantly.
For the whole afternoon that they were there, all of them welcomed arriving guest and entertained the arriving, departing visitors.
Haruhi was forced to wear a formal dress, it was white with a gold sash on it and with silver flower earrings and her hair was partly curled.
Yuuki wore a very light pink dress her hair in a bun. Wearing sandals with long straps.
Kyouya wore a white tuxedo.
All of them tried to grin and bear everyone. Despite the things some of them say which were not always likable.
After the party each of them were given rooms.
As Jin was giving Haruhi around her 'suite' Haruhi picked up her cellphone and charged it, her father would be calling soon.
Her uneasiness was at another level tonight. So after a quick shower not paying attention to the luxurious bathtub. She went straight to bed.
Momentarily closing her eyes, her cell rang,
"Hello?"
"Haruhi" a voice said.

*Author's note*
Sorry if I suddenly ended it…Somehow it became a bit dragging and once again a mistake on my calculations there'll be about 2 more chapters left. Since I just can't fit it all in one chapter…Sorry if it's a bit of a cliffhanger. I bet some people are wondering where the hell Tamaki is? Don't worry he'll be the main character in the next chapter.
