Kira's POV
I groaned as I soaked deeper into my tub of bubbles. "Why is this happening to me?" I grumbled to the many bubbles surrounding me. I picked up a handful of the white substance and blew it halfway across the tub. I giggled at my own antics but stopped when Kyouya's faced flashed into my mind. He would be so much fun when no one's around, but would return to his cold emotionless self when everyone came around to visit. He and Kaoru are complete opposites.
"I need to figure out what to do." I told myself before hearing a slight tap at the bathroom door. "Kira, are you decent?" I heard Kyouya's voice call from behind the door. "Not in the slightest." I called out to him. "Well, everyone will be over in about ten minutes." he said before I could hear him walking away. I sighed and stood from my bubbly heaven and wrapped a towl around me. I hurried and put on underwear and some beige khakis with a dark blue tank and walked out into my bedroom to see Kyouya sitting on my bed.
"Yes?" I said raising an eyebrow at him being there. He gave me one of his rare true smiles and stood to walk up to me. He didn't say a word as he wrapped his arms around me pulling me into his chest. I have to admit, I love it when he does these kinds of things. We would just stand there with me clinging at his shirt and him resting his head ontop of mine. He always smells of peppermints and newly bought newspapers. I buried my face into his chest before looking up at him and pouting.
Before I had a chance to tell him anything, someone knocked at my door. "Kira-san? Everyone's here." a maid called through the door. Kyouya took a step away from me as I called out a 'thank you'. I watched him walk to the door, once again putting up a cold hard wall between us. I just sighed and followed him toward the front door.
"Kira-chan!" Honey yelled out before jumping me causing us to fall to the floor. I laughed a bit before he climbed off of me. "Hey, Honey-sempai." I smiled at him as a shadow fell over me. I looked up at the smiling face of my favorite twin standing next to his brother. They pulled me to my feet and hugged me from both sides. "Kira-chan! We missed you!" they said while I struggled against their bear hug. I eventually gave up and looked toward Haruhi and Tamaki. "So what brings you guys over?" I asked them finally being released from the hug.
"We're going over Haru-chan's house!" Honey exclaimed after he climbed his way back up onto Mori's shoulder. I grinned at the said information and glomped Haruhi causing her to sweatdrop. "Will you cook for us??" I asked her giving my best puppy dog pout. She sighed as everyone waited for her answer. "I'll have to go to the grocery store." she said soon followed by everyone cheering...well, except Kyouya.
"Then what are we waiting for?" I yelled out grabbing Kaoru's hand and pulling him out the front door followed by everyone else. We all piled into the limo that would be taking us to the grocery store. "Kira-chan? When will you be going home?" Haruhi asked me as we made our way to her side of town. "Actually, tomorrow will be my last day staying with Kyouya-sempai." I told her giving a soft smile. I failed to realize that it was, indeed, just one more day with Kyouya before I would be going back to my own home.
I glanced at Kyouya to find him writing something down in that damned notebook of his. He didn't even show any signs of hearing the conversation, but I knew better. Kyouya doesn't miss a conversation...I just wondered if he even care that there's only one more day with me. "We should all go to the beach for sring break!" Honey yelled out changing the subject. And the twins didn't hesitate in agreeing.
Before we knew it, we were stepping into the front doors of the grocery store. Honey pulled Mori-sempai over to the candy aisle while the twins 'oohed' and 'awed' at the frozen foods section. I fell into step with Kyouya right behind Haruhi and Tamaki. We could hear Tamaki asking Haruhi a variety of questions about how the food gets wrapped and the such. I sighed at his stupid questions and looked up at Kyouya.
"You're not amazed?" I asked his with a sarcastic tone to my voice. He just smirked and continued to walk...until an over-excited Tamaki jumped in front of him and gave a pathetic pout. "Come with me Kaa-san!" he whined out and pointed over to the mechanical rides at the back of the store. Kyouya glared but ended up being pulled over there anyway. I caught up with Haruhi and helped carry a couple of boxes. I glanced back at the annoyed Kyouya before glancing over at an over-excited Kaoru and sighed once again.
"So who will you choose?" Haruhi suddenly asked me shocking me out of my depressive thinking. "H-How?" I stuttered out. How could she possibly know what was going on? She smiled at me and handed me a bag of carrots. "It's pretty obvious." she said simply. I stared at her in disbelief. But I guess that's why Tamaki and Hikaru was so in love with her...she never misses a beat.
"I don't know." I groaned out so that only she could hear me. She gave me a sympathetic look and continued to shop. We stopped in front of the meats while Haruhi decided which kinds to buy. I gasped when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around my waist. I looked over my shoulder to see a grinning Koaru and let out a sigh of relief. "Don't do that." I playfully growled at him before looking at the variety of meats.
"Gomen." he giggled out placing his chin on my shoulder blade. "Which ones are we getting Haruhi?" he asked still staring at the selection. "Aw, they are so cute together." I heard an old lady say from beside me. I turned a pretty shade of pink when she gave me a small wink.
"Koaru, could you take these for me? My arms are getting tired." I said to the twin before feeling his arms leave my waist. "Sure." he said bending down to take the things out of my arms. "Thanks." I said giving him a small kiss on the cheek before turning a deeper shade of pink when another old lady giggled and 'awed' at us.
3rd POV
Kira and everyone else sat down at the table inside of Haruhi's apartment an hour later talking of nothing. The pot of vegetables and meat...Haruhi decided to get beef...was cooking on the stove. They were in the middle of discussing spring break's trip when a soft ringing sound caght everyone's ear. Everyone at the table, except Haruhi, could be seen going through their pockets for their cells causing Haruhi to sweatdrop.
"Where's my cell?!" Kira exclaimed while everyone else pulled out their own. She continued to search frantically while everyone realized that it was Kyouya's cell the rung. "Hello?" he said into his phone ignoring a frantic Kira. "Himota-san, good evening." Kyouya said into his cell causing Kira to freeze. "Otou-san?" she sqeaked out before crawling her way to Kyouya waiting to be given the phone. She caught a small glipse of Koaru frowning but quickly shook it off.
"Hai." Kyouya said once again before handing Kira his cell. "Otou-san?" Kira whispered into the phone. "Hai, I must have left my phone in the car downstairs. I'll go and get it. Call my cell in like ten minutes ok?" she said before closing the cell and handing it back to the owner. "I'll be right back." she yelled out to the room full of friends before dashing out the front door.
She ran down the stairs and to the black limo parked right outside the apartment gates. The driver opened the door for her before she reached the limo. She pratically jumped into the backseat and began going through little side pockets and things on the floor. "Where is it??" she mumbled to herself before hearing it give out a muffled ring. She slowly followed the ringing and found it stuffed into a side pocket on the door.
"Otou-san?" she called into her phone making sure that it was indeed her father. She smiled and sunk into the seat when she heard her father's voice on the other end. "Hai, tomorrow?...I'll probably be there first...ok, see you then." she said into the phone before closing it and climbing out of the limo. Kira made her way back into the apartment to see the familiar sight of Tamaki and Hikaru arguing. She sat down beside Koaru and looked to him for an explanation, but he just shrugged.
"Everything alright with your father?" Kaoru asked Kira putting his hand on the small of her back and smiling down at her. "Yeah, he'll be back in town tomorrow around three in the afternoon." Kira responded grinning up at the twin.
2 HOURS LATER
Everyone climbed into the limo after waving goodbye to Haruhi. "Bye Bye! Haru-chan!" Honey called out before climbing into the limo followed by his protector. "Ah. That was so good!" Kira said receiving 'yeah' from everyone else in the limo. Kira sighed and stared out the window when the limo stopped to drop off Tamaki.
She smiled at the reflection of Koaru who was sitting right next to her and of Kyouya who was once again typing something on his laptop. He might as well marry the thing she thought to herself not noticing that Koaru was now looking at her. "Kira-chan?" he whispered her name, waking her from her daze. "Hm?" she squeaked out turning to face him. She looked him in his cat-like eyes and smiled.
"What do you think of me?" he asked causing Kira to stare in shock at his bold words. "I...well, ano.." she stuttered out turning a darker shade of pink. She felt the limo stop once again and glanced at Mori grabbing a reluntant Honey out of the car. "But I want to see it!" she could hear Honey whine out as the car began to move again. She swallowed a large lump in her throat as she continued to stare at Koaru, her mouth slighted gaped.
"Well, I think that you should be my girlfriend." he said softly smiling when she turned a bit redder. Kira's eyes widened in shock when Koaru leaned forward and put both his hands on each side of Kira's head, trapping her against the window. He leaned down farther and pushed his lips against her own.
Kira was in a haze...a heavenly haze. She didn't see Kyouya frowning at the scene of affection. Neither did she hear Hikaru lean against the seat and grunt out "About time." She was stuck in the haze that was Koaru's kiss...until the car came to a stop. "Think about it." he whispered against Kira's lips when he finally pulled away. He followed his twin out of the limo leaving a very shocked...and amazed Kira.
When the car began to move again she came to her senses and sat up straight and folded her hands in her lap. "I guess you have an important decision to make." she heard Kyouya's choice in the mist of her daze. She looked up at Kyouya as he suddenly closed his laptop. He knitted his eyebrows together and pushed his glasses farther onto his nose before turning to look at her for the first that day.
Kyouya sat his laptop down in his seat and made his way over to Kira. She gasped when he gently grabbed her chin and lifted her head forcing her to stare deeper in his eyes hidden behind the glasses. He stared down at her and smirked..."It's him or me."
( Nice place to end it, huh? -snicker- The last chapter will be updated as soon as I write it! It really shouldn't be too long. Stay tuned to figure out who Kira will choose! BYE!) ducki-chan
