A/N: Here's 3. I hope this is good. I am terribly sorry with how late this is but I'm a college student and finals are coming up. I needed a break and so worked on most of this. I'm also sorry how chapter 2 seems. I'm going to see if Nami can fix it up and I'll repost it. *bows* again, I'm so sorry.

Chapter 3: Enter Forgiveness and feelings

I stood outside the doors to the host club. My brain wondering what today was going to be about. "If you're not going to go in then step aside," a voice said from behind me and when I looked up I saw Kyoya.

I tried to tie this person to what Haruhi told me about and just couldn't see him losing his cool like that. "Is something the matter?" Kyoya asked and I shook my head.

"Haruhi told me the truth of what happened. I can't picture you loosing your cool enough to smash in a camera. What was that about anyway? What did you have to gain by allowing Renge to have her way?" I asked and say him flinch.

"I just wanted to see how things would turn out," Kyoya said and I nodded, not believing a word he just spoke.

"Sure, let's go with that," I replied and went inside.

I could feel some sort of emotion emitting from him, I just couldn't put a finger on what it was. I went over to Haruhi and sat next to her. "Haruhi, does something seem off with Kyoya?" I asked, knowing that she would give me an honest opinion though she would be asking why later.

"Ya, why? What's going on?" She asked.

Knew it. "I'm not sure. We talked a bit outside and…well, I asked what he had to gain in allowing the video to be made and he said that he just wanted to see how things would turn out and I said 'sure let's go with that' and came in. I could feel some sort of emotion radiating off of him and well…I can't put a finger on it. It's like I hurt him by saying that," I said and knew that that was what it was.

I had upset Kyoya-senpai.

I don't know how it's possible but I somehow managed to upset Kyoya-senpai. I looked over to where he already had his laptop out and was typing away at it. "Haruhi, do you think that it would be possible for me to apologize to him after Club hours?" I whispered, not wanting anyone to overhear, which in this Club is hard thing to accomplish.

"Neko-chan, what do you have to apologize about?" Hunny asked, carring Usa-chan with him, Mori standing behind him with a plate of cake.

"I think I upset someone and didn't mean to. I feel bad and so I want to apologize as soon as I can without embarrassing the other person," I answered and Hunny nodded.

"That would be nice. Though how did you upset the person?" Hunny asked slightly confused.

It's really hard to think that this person is a college student, I thought with a weak smile.

"I said some mean things without intending to," I answered honestly and Hunny looked sad.

"Did you get in an argument?" Hunny asked sadly.

"Kinda, It wasn't really an argument but a question that I asked that wasn't really considerate of the others feelings," I said, doing my best at trying to keep this person in objective and not give anything away though with how Kyoya was acting, I'm surprised no one has put two and two together.

"Is it Kyoya per chance?" Hikaru asked and I jumped, not expecting him to appear.

What is with this club? Do you need to be a ninja to be a member? I thought, taking a deep breath trying to get my heartbeat back under control. "I'm not telling you guys who it is. It's none of your concern," I stated matter-of-factly.

"Well, Kyoya is acting weird even for him, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell that he is more than likely the one who you hurt his feelings," Kaoru stated and I glared at them.

"Whatever," I muttered, getting the feeling that no matter what they would believe themselves.

"So is it?" They asked and I sighed.

"Wouldn't matter what I would say, you wouldn't believe me would you?" I asked in retaliation and they laughed.

"New kid catches on quick, doesn't he Kaoru?" Hikaru laughed and Kaoru just nodded chuckling.

I sighed yet again and stood. "Customers are coming soon aren't they?" I said and they nodded, letting me sit in the throne.

Kyoya stood to my left, while Tamaki was on my right, the rest where on either side, all leaning on one another or looking cute. I noticed out of the corner of my eye a piece of paper and when I looked directly at it, there was a single word written on it.

Forgiven.

I smiled and blushed a bit, happy that I didn't have to apologize to his face. It would be weird having to do that to the Shadow Kings' face. The girls soon came in as Kyoya stuffed the paper back in his pocket. "Welcome," everyone greeted and we went off into our different directions.

Kyoya decided he would host but he decided to host alongside me and I just went with it. I started to pastel the pictures but I didn't like how they were turning out so I erased them and started to color them with colored pencils. It was looking really nice and girls started to ask me questions, I turned around to face them with a smile. "So Neko-chan, how are you liking school? Is there anyone you like yet?" one of the girls asked with a blush and I just chuckled.

"I haven't gotten to know people that well to decide whether I like someone or not. But I have many friends here that I'm grateful for," I said and the girls blushed when I gave them a smile.

I turned back to my art and people just started to watch me as I started with the flowers. I was enjoying myself but I did ask the girls for some help with the colors of flowers. They were so happy that I was allowing them to help and from the teeny smile that I saw on Kyoya's face he was too. With their help, I was able to finish the flowers quickly. I stepped aside and the girls started squealing. "Oh my gosh Neko-chan, the flowers are so beautiful!" the girls gushed and I blushed.

I went and stood by Kyoya. "Those are nice," Kyoya stated lounging back against the chair.

A faint blush dusted my cheeks and I looked away. "Thanks," I muttered and I heard a chuckle come from here.

"You really a really good artist," Kyoya told me yet again and I felt my blush deepen.

I don't know why but when I receive compliments from Kyoya, my heart leaps from joy. "Markus, when you meet your fated one, you will know. No one will claim your heart but your fated one. You will want to be with them all the time, your heart will soar when they are near. You may not know who it is mentally but your heart will. Follow your heart and you can never go wrong," Marcella's words rang in my head and I realized that the reason I was reacting this way was because Kyoya was my fated one.

Kyoya was my soul mate.

"Markus-kun, is everything alright?" Kyoya asked, giving me a quizzical glance.

"Ya, I'm fine, just remembering something," I muttered and Kyoya didn't push it.

"Neko-chan, would you mind selling me this when you're done? I love flowers and how you draw these flowers is wonderful," one of the girls said and I smiled.

"I could draw you a picture of just flowers if you want. I'm going to add a castle to this picture," I told her and she squeed with joy.

I pulled out a Hello Kitty notebook that I had found and wrote down that I needed draw a picture of flowers. "Neko-chan, that notebook is adorable!" another girl said and walked over, "oooo it's sparkly!"

I laughed and made it shimmer in the light. She started giggling and I smiled. Kyoya just watched us with a smirk. It was time for the girls to leave and we all said good bye to them. Haruhi started cleaning and I curled up on the couch across from Kyoya. "Your drawing is coming along nicely, Maku-chan," Kaoru said sitting down near my head since I was in the middle of the couch.

"Neko-chan is really good at drawing!" Hunny said around a large bite of cake and Mori nodded in agreement.

I yawned and curled tighter around myself. I had let my ears and tail out and my tail was twitching over my thigh as my ears took in everything around me. "Thank you," I muttered.

"Marku-kun, you can head home, I can walk back by myself," Haruhi called over her shoulder and I looked up.

"Don't wanna," I said and curled back into a ball.

Kyoya looked up from his computer and chuckled, "I thought you were more mature than that, Markus-kun," he stated and I stuck my tongue out at him.

Everyone around me burst into laughter, the twins doubling over with tears rolling down their faces. Kyoya just frowned and went back to his laptop. "Well, we are going to be heading home," the twins said after awhile and I just lazily waved bye as the others shouted out bye from their random positions around the room. Hunny and Mori soon after and since I was getting bored I went and laid down on the couch that Kyoya was sitting at, looking at his computer to see what he was doing.

"Markus-san, what are you doing?" Kyoya asked as I rested my head on his upper arm to get a good view of his laptop.

"Watching you 'cause I'm bored," I simply stated as I was able to smell Kyoya's natural scent which had an underlying flower aroma to it. He smells really good, I thought but wouldn't dare say out loud.

Kyoya didn't say anything but I could tell that he wasn't all that comfortable with me leaning against him, so I slowly moved down and rested my head by his lap, allowing his laptops heat to warm my ears up a little bit.

I wasn't all that sure when I feel asleep but I was shaken awake. I opened my eyes to see that the club room was dark and there was a pair of grey eyes looking at me intensely. "Kyoya?" I muttered.

"About time, you are a deep sleeper aren't you?" He muttered and stood up straight so I could do so.

"What time is it?" I asked rubbing sleep from my eyes.

"Late," was all I got and I glared at him.

"You could be a bit nicer you know," I stated and he looked at me, sadness seeping into his gaze. I sighed and looked at him, "Kyoya, I don't mean to hurt you but you should think that I'm not like everyone. I've been hurt all my life so I tend to lash back quickly. I do like it here and there is something important to me here that I just found out about. So don't worry, but please, just try and be nicer to me," I said and realized too late that I let out too much.

"Something important?" Kyoya asked and I blushed and turned away.

"Not yet. I can't tell you yet," I answered and I think he nodded.

"Haruhi already went home, I'll drive you home, I know where she lives from when we visited last year," Kyoya answered, holding his hand out to me.

I took it and stood up and stretched. "You know, I think that was the best sleep that I ever had, thanks for letting me sleep," I said smiling at him and he just nodded.

I curled my tail around my waist and hid my ears as I picked my bag up. Kyoya was standing by the doors and I hurried over to him. We left the building without saying much but Kyoya kept looking over at me for some reason. "Kyoya-senpai, if you want to say something, then just say it," I told him and he looked straight ahead.

"It's nothing," he said and I didn't push him since he didn't push me on what I meant about something important being in the club.

Though I could have lied and said that Haruhi was my important something since she was about to become my sister but that didn't seem right since he was my soul mate though I would never make him fall for me if he did end up falling for someone else. I learned from watching people that year that I was free before coming here, that I want to make my partner happy more than myself.

We went outside and a limo was sitting there. I was slightly afraid to enter it but for some reason, knowing that Kyoya was going to be with me, I wasn't as terrified as I thought I would be. We got in and Kyoya told the driver where to take us. I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my forehead on them. I never really liked riding in vehicles, I wasn't sure why but I just didn't. "You ok Markus-san?" Kyoya asked leaning over to touch my back.

"I don't like cars," I muttered and I wasn't sure if he understood me or not.

"Do you want to walk?" Kyoya asked and I shook my head no.

"I need to get use to it eventually," I stated and he started to rub my back.

I leaned over and put my head in Kyoyas' lap and he started to rub behind my ears. These soft motions were lulling me back into sleep. "Markus-san, if you don't like vehicles then you should have told me, I would have walked you home," Kyoya said and I shrugged my right shoulder since the left one was pinned under me.

"I'll live," I muttered through a haze.

"You don't need to push yourself. With us, you can get pampered," Kyoya muttered and I chuckled.

"I'll keep that in mind," I said and fell into a light sleep to Kyoya rubbing my ears.

Kyoya shook me awake again though I think he was tempted to push me off the seat if I didn't wake up. I stretched and grabbed my bag. "Thanks Kyoya," I said and Kyoya nodded with a light blush.

I leaned over and gave him a hug. I got out of the car and walked up the stairs to my apartment. I opened the door and went inside. "Haruhi, I'm home," I called and took off my shoes and placing my bag on the floor.

When I turned around I was glomped and fell to the floor. "My son is home! I was so worried about you when you didn't come home with Haruhi," Ranka said and I pushed him off me gently.

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep and wasn't woken up until just a little bit ago," I said and he nodded.

"Well, let's eat and then I have something for you to sign," Ranka said and I nodded and went to the family room.

There was rice and dumplings waiting for me to eat and I did. The food was delicious! I quickly ate most of it and then looked at Ranka. "What is it that you want me to sign?" I asked and he placed a document in front of me.

"Your approval for me to adopt you," was all he said before I started crying.

I finally had a family that truly loved me and knew what I was.

I finally had friends who would do anything for me to be happy.

I only wish that this bliss would last.

A/N: DONE! Omg I'm so sorry that this took so long but with college exams and writers block and work, I have little time to write! I'm going to start working on chapter 4 after my ancient Greece finals is over I swear! Also on Friday can I work on it.
