Nika thanked Kiyoshi for the ride and walked down the alley with a slight smile on her face as she headed up the stairs only to have a crying Suka flung at her.

"Whoa there! Nice to see you too!" Nika said with a sarcastic grin as she hugged Suka back.

"I was so worried about you! Officer Taka called me after he said you wouldn't answer your phone and I ran over. I thought you went out and did something reckless when I realized you weren't here! Don't scare me like that!" Suka said between sobs as she let go of Nika.

"I'm so sorry Suka I tried to call you but your phone was busy, but don't worry I went to Kyouya's and I feel much better." Nika said with a tinge of sadness knowing she was not nor ever would be fully over her father's death.

Suka smiled and wiped her eyes taking a step back to look at Nika.

"Is that outfit how he made you feel better?" Suka asked with a raised eyebrow and a snicker.

Nika was puzzled for a second then looked down and remembered she was indeed still wearing the maids outfit and slapped her forehead in grief.

"It's a long story, and no, its not one of your kind of stories." Nika clarified as Suka had a smug grin on her face.

"I wasn't going to say anything…except you smell a lot like him." Suka said crossing her arms triumphantly.

Nika blushed furiously and stuttered out: "i-i-I had to take a s-s-hower that's all n-nothing else!"

"You can explain over some tea, but I think a certain Kashi-kun would like to know your ok." Suka said reassuringly as Kashi peeked his head out from behind Suka.

"Where was he when I needed him?" Nika asked as she opened her door.

"Hanging around my house trying to get a hook up." Suka said with a chuckle.

Nika sighed but laughed as she let them in and closed the door.

"I think everything will be ok" Nika thought happily.

Kyouya on the other hand was very worried by the grin on his father's face at the breakfast table.

"You seem to be in a very good mood father." Kyouya remarked as he took a bite of his egg omelet.

"Of course I'm in a good mood! After all it's not everyday my youngest son is engaged to get married." Yoshiro said keeping his grin though his eyes shot poison at Kyouya.

Kyouya had to restrain himself from chocking on his omelets.

"Excuse me, I don't think I heard you correctly. Did you say that I am engaged to be married?" Kyouya asked keeping his voice in check.

"You did indeed hear me correctly." Yoshiro said entwining his fingers together and resting them in front of his face as his glasses glared from the window light.

"May I ask why I'm engaged to be married even before I finish high school? And to whom?" Kyouya asked slowly growing concerned about his present situation.

"It seems after suoh refused to marry éclair her family contacted me offering an extremely large dowry and the combination of both our businesses if I would marry you off to her." Yoshiro said his voice aloof as if he truly didn't care but inside he was laughing in glee.

"I was under the impression our family had more then enough money then to resort to such tactics." Kyouya said pushing his glasses up in agitation.

"We do, but it's not like you're dating anyone right?" Yoshiro baited Kyouya.

"….Hai" Kyouya said flatly feeling his stomach turn a tad.

"Good! I've already asked that ms. éclair come to your host club after school. It would be a good time for you both to get to know each other before a date is set for your wedding." Yoshiro said with an almost cruel smile.

"Understood father. Excuse me but I need to change for school." Kyouya said trying to control his anger as he stood up and headed towards his room.

"That bastard!" Kyouya shouted in his head as he walked up the stairs and all but slammed his door shut.

"Of all the times to spring something up like that." Kyouya said aloud as he sat down on his couch trying to calm down as he glanced at his school clothes and Nika's clothes which were laid out on his bed.

"I'm more afraid of getting hurt, than I am of hurting her" was what Kyouya said to Tamaki after making it official that they were dating.

"It seems that my fears were justified." Kyouya said as he sighed taking in his fate as an Ootori heir.

The image of Nika's crying fast last night played through his mind and he felt a slight pain in his chest at the thought that he would cause something like that to her even though the wound her parents left is still bleeding.

(a/n: poor Nika and poor kyouya! I feel really bad for them right now . I would love to know what you all think is going to happen in the next few chapters so review pls! ) zell-chan
