Chapter 3: Somethings wrong

Haruhi screamed with the lightening and dropped back to her knees. She was barely aware of the quick tap of Kyouya crossing the room to her. She tried to stop herself from shaking but it only seemed to get worse the closer Kyouya got and the louder the thunder got.

"Haruhi why are you here?" Kyouya's voice was light and soft as he kneeled down besides her. She looked up with tears in her eyes, but found no voice to answer him. The thunder had seemed to subside for a moment Haruhi foolishly hoped it was over. She climbed up to her feet, the sound of rain practically matching the pace of her heart.

"I-I'm fine Senpai I just need to g-get HOME!" The last word came out in an outcry of fear as lightening cracked in the windows and the thunder boomed out exactly at the same time shaking the entire band room. Without knowing how it happened, or who moved to who Haruhi found herself surrounded by long, thin arms. She didn't think about whom he was, she just clung to his warmth letting his arms, surprisingly strong, sweep under her legs and pick her up.

"Senpai!" Haruhi stammered but he carried her effortlessly into the back room where she wouldn't be able to see the lightening and there would be better protection against the noises.

"Be quiet Haruhi just close your eyes, you'll be ok." Haruhi looked up at the older teen seeing something she'd never seen in his eyes before. Concern, compassion. She obeyed him and shrunk closer to him as another clap of thunder shook the room.

"Why is she not answer her home phone!" Tamaki demanded of his wall throwing down his cell again. He walked to the window of his bedroom and stared out with sad worried eyes. The storm was picking up now and the lightening was blinding to anyone who could see it. The day had turned to night and the world shook with the sound.

Tamaki quickly went back to the bed and dialed Haruhi's number once more, and once again he received the message machine. He could practically see Haruhi huddling under a table or in her closet terrified and alone.

"I have to go to her, she needs me." Tamaki hurried out of his room and quickly was out in the rain heading to Haruhi's in his limo sitting on the edge of his seat wishing he could go faster.

Haruhi sat on the floor in the back room huddled against Kyouya's chest trying to block out the sound of thunder just outside the walls. The storm was by far one of the worst she'd ever been in. The sound literally shook her entire body ever time. It was like a fog horn going off right in her ear. Kyouya was trying his best to sooth her, and that alone surprised her greatly. He'd brought her into the back room and they'd settled on the floor in the very far corner. At first he'd sat by her side one arm around her shoulders awkwardly but somehow or another they'd maneuvered to him sitting with his feet flat, knees up and Haruhi sitting between his legs her side pressed his chest hands clutching at his arms wrapped tightly around her small, shaking body.

"Haruhi, are you alright?" Kyouya knew it was a bad question but the silence and small sounds of her whimpers was enough to drive any man insane.

"Y-Yes, S-Senpai, t-thank you." Her teeth were chattering and Kyouya tightened his arms instinctively to take what he thought was chill from her. He glanced down at her but her eyes were welded shut her teeth digging into her lower lip.

"Haruhi its going to be alright, the storm will pass and you will be able to walk out of here safely." Haruhi tried to shut out the storm and focus on Kyouya's calm, patient voice. He spoke lightly and gently directly at her. And slowly after a time she opened her eyes and looked up into his. Staring into his dark, dark eyes as he spoke seemed to calm her more with each second.

Before too long Kyouya's voice was all she heard, and the gentleness, the tender way the words rolled off his lips made her completely relaxed and she almost forgot about the storm. Kyouya had closed his eyes now and spoke with his head bowed down almost touching Haruhi's forehead. It wasn't long till she followed his example and let his voice lull her into sleep. Her last conscious thought, Kyouya-Senpai is so different then I thought.

Tamaki arrived at Haruhi's apartment to find the lights off, door locked and the air thick with rain. He was standing there getting soaked as he pounded on the door shouting over the thunder for Haruhi. When she did not answer right away he assumed she was already hiding somewhere in her house hiding from the storm. So he have the door handle a jiggle and blinked surprised when the knob came off in his hand. His first thought was panic, but then he saw the easiest way to get into the house. He pushed open the door and hurried into the dark apartment.

"Haruhi! Haruhi where are you!" Tamaki called stopping in the living room. He checked under the tables and ran through the entire apartment searching for the small girl, but she was not there. He stood in the doorway looking out into the storm. Haruhi was out there somewhere, alone and afraid. He felt his chest tighten with worry for the young girl.

"Haruhi, where are you?"

::

Kyouya opened his eyes and looked at Haruhi curled against him. Her eyes were closed and he could tell by her steady breathing that she'd fallen asleep as he spoke. He gave a small grin, that had been a trick his sister had done with him when he'd been frightened as a child. She would gather him close, whisper quietly and he would fall asleep soon and forget his fears.

Looking at his watch he let out a low curse that stirred Haruhi. She blinked and looked around groggily. Her eyes lifted up and widened to find him looking down at her.

"I-I'm so-sorry Senpai!" She stuttered pushing out of his arms immediately. Kyouya merely grinned and pushed his glasses up.

"It is alright Haruhi. I think the storm is over." His hand tucked into his pockets and Haruhi went quiet listening for the storm, but heard nothing.

"Oh, I guess it is." Haruhi blinked and followed Kyouya out of the back room.

The sky was gray but Haruhi could see the bright blue and inviting fluffy white clouds already off in the distance. She let out a sigh that brought Kyouya's eyes down to her. She looked up but his expression was hidden by the reflection of his glasses.

"Would you like a ride home, it's still fairly wet outside." Kyouya offered quietly motioning at the swampy ground outside. Haruhi took one look and quickly agreed. It wasn't until she had climbed into the back and he was sliding in beside her she realized he might add this to her debt.

"Are you going to add this ride to my debt, Senpai?" Haruhi asked looking at him with eyes that showed anger at the idea. Kyouya just shook his head without even looking at her.

"No."Was all he replied. Haruhi titled her head surprised by the answer, and lack of follow up from him. It seemed she was seeing yet another side of him. His usual self had been withdrawn enough, but this side was worrying her. She waited a few mintues seeing if he would come out of it on his own but he only remained silent and staring out the window.

"Senpai is something bothering you?" Haruhi asked softly making the tall teen jump. He glanced her way his face blank.

"No." She frowned at him and her brows drew down together.

"Yes there is. You're acting strange." She persisted. He didn't looker only repeated his word. "No." Haruhi sat forward looking across the seat to his face. He wore a blank expressions dark eyes staring at the world without a thought.

"Kyouya-Senpai, please tell me what's wrong. You're worrying me." Still he did not say anything. A thought hit Haruhi hard, harder then she would have thought. She felt her face color. "Was it because of the storm? Are you angry you stayed?" Kyouya's head turned at that and she saw the slight surprise there before it was gone.

"Haruhi no-" But as he spoke that the limo door popped open nearly toppling Haruhi out of the seat. She felt Kyouya's hand grasp her wrist and pull her back into the limo. They both looked out and saw Tamaki standing there drenched and in a panic.

"Kyouya Haruhi's missing she wasn't-…." He leaned down into the limo and saw Haruhi sitting there looking stunned.

"Haruhi!" Haruhi hadn't even noticed they'd stopped, and we're now at her house. She looked over her shoulder at Kyouya. His expression worried her.
"Senpai wait!" But it was too late Haruhi was yanked out of the limo and embraced by Tamaki.

"Ew your soaked!" Haruhi protested pushing away from the teen. He looked down at himself turning pink and brushed back soaked blond locks from his face.

"Will you wait a minute I have to tal-" But as she looked back the limo had disappeared. Looking down the street she saw it driving away.

"Kyouya- Senpai…."
