Thank you JustJolola, tmwillson3, and BayDear for reviewing!

It was 7:45 AM. Aika heard the doorbell ring. Breakfast was done so she turned off the fire on the stove and answered the door. It was Tamaki. He was holding a small round cake with white icing and pink roses of of icing around the circumference of it. In the middle it read 'I'm Sorry' in sky blue lettering. Aika smiled.

"I-Is Hikari there?" Tamaki asked nervously.

Aika nodded. "She's in the kitchen. Please come in." She led him to the kitchen; Hikari was at the table reading manga. "Hikari?" Aika said to get her daughter's attention.

Hikari looked up from her manga, placed a bookmark in it and set it on the table. "T-Tamaki?"

"I'll be in the living room if you need anything," Aika said smiling at Hikari. She left the room.

Hikari stood up and slowly walked toward Tamaki. Tears ran down her face and she hugged him. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't even ask about what happened, I just ran away... I'm such a coward, I don't usually make assumptions like that without proof... M-my jealously got the better of me and... I-I talked to Haruhi last night, she called me..."

Tamaki pulled her closer, but didn't say anything. What was he supposed to do? He felt like a jerk and a liar. Did Haruhi tell Hikari everything? Then he realized Hikari had referred to Haruhi as 'she'...

Hikari thought about her conversation with Haruhi.

"Hello?" Hikari said answering her cell phone. The number was restricted so she didn't know who it was.

"Hikari? It's Haruhi," Haruhi replied. She had called from Tamaki's phone, he dropped it outside the school. She made the call restricted because she thought Hikari might've not answered.

"Oh hi..."

"I have to tell you something. T-Tamaki senpai didn't know that girl... Ayanokoji senpai set you up. She told that girl to kiss Tamaki senpai, and Ayanokoji made sure you were there to see it. I'm telling the complete truth s-so please don't get upset with Tamaki, it wasn't his fault."

Hikari's heart skipped a beat. Was what Haruhi said true? But he stayed home, so how did he know what happened? "How did you know what happened?" she asked confused.

Haruhi forgot that she was there in disguise. She decided she didn't have a choice but to tell Hikari... "...I was there, you just didn't recognize me."

"What do you mean?"

Haruhi sighed. "Well, the truth is when I came to this school I had no intetion of joining the Host Club. I accidently broke their vase that cost eight million yen. They forced me to join the club in order to pay back my debt. And on top of all that... There was a misunderstanding of my gender..."

Hikari didn't say anything. There was a breif silence. Haruhi continued, "Hikari, I am actually a girl... I really hate lying to the whole school, but its the only way I can pay my debt... You won't tell anyone right?"

"... No of course I won't! It's not my business to gossip, I'll keep your secret, I promise!"

Haruhi smiled, "Thanks Hikari-senpai... Senpai, there is another thing-"

"You like him don't you?" Hikari deducted.

There was another moment of silence.

"I-I saw you and Tamaki... A-After you talked about me not recognizing you and talked about your secret, I kind of put two and two together..."

'Oh gosh, I was already ashamed of that and she already knows... Well I can't keep it from her anyway...' Haruhi thought. "Yes, the girl in the caramel brown wig, that was me... I'm sorry. I-I'm so ashamed..."

"Don't be Haruhi... It hurts but... The way he held you, and the way you looked into each other's eyes... I don't know how to describe it, it just seemed so real... You two already have a bond that is stronger than his is with me."

Haruhi didn't know what to say. This girl is like some kind of angel or something. She was being so rational about it, it defied typical human nature.

"Yes, I still have feelings for him, but he clearly belongs with you Haruhi-chan," Hikari added.

Hikari's eyes were still wet. She looked upat Tamaki once again meeting those violet eyes.

"So she told you..." Tamaki began, nervously.

Hikari nodded. "Yes, she told me everything."

Of course Tamaki knew Haruhi wouldn't lie. He wondered how Hikari took it at first. Was she upset with him? It didnt' seem like it, there had to be some kind of anger inside of her. She just chose to not show it. "Y-You really are an amazing girl you know... Are you sure you don't want to vent any anger?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah I'm sure..."

"What I did was wrong, I understand if you don't want to not talk to me ever again. I probably wouldn't."

"You didn't do anything wrong... I am upset, but really getting mad doesn't solve anything."

Their gazes were still locked on each other's. Their lips met again, for the last time.

The weekend was passing by slowly. It was Sunday morning now. After breakfast, Haruhi decided to go out for a walk. It was raining, so she got an umbrella and set off. Not far down the block, she saw Kyoya. 'What is he doing here in this part of town?' she wondered. It was unusal for the host club members or anyone who goes to Ouran academy to being hanging around here.

"Good morning Kyoya senpai," Haruhi said greeting him.

"Good morning Haruhi," Kyoya replied. He did have a good time at the winter formal with Haruhi last night, but he couldnt' help but think of when he saw her with Tamaki. It wasn't a surprise to him, so why should he worry about it? He hadn't heard from Tamaki about how it went yesterday when he visited Hikari to try and make amends with her. 'Were they still together?' he wondered.

The rain continued make a tapping noise on their umbrellas. Kyoya looked down.

"Senpai?"

He brought his head back up. His intense onyx eyes looked at Haruhi. "Haruhi, I know this is a very bad time and I should have been honest about this sooner, and its not really going to matter now, but I really admire you Haruhi. You're different from the majority of the girls at this school..."

Haruhi face turned pink. She didn't know how to respond, and she didn't expect this at all. This made her feel worse about yesterday, she didn't exactly ditch him, but did he see her with Tamaki? Pushing the thought aside she set down her umbrella and wrapped her arms around him, he returned the gesture.

"I'm sorry senpai..." she said. "Thank you for being honest though. To be honest, I admire you too, but as an older brother..."

"I see..." Kyoya replied. Even thought it wasn't the answer he would've like to receive, he smiled. It felt good that he told her straightforwardly instead of continuing to keep his feelings hidden within. He was satisfied.

End of chapter 8! Please reivew! Thanks! ^_^
