"I don't want to have to see her cry again." Kyouya thought to himself in the limo as he wondered what his father could want now seeing as he was always a step ahead of Kyouya.

Meanwhile Kiyoshi started sweating with worry thinking over the conversation he had with Yoshiro.

10 minutes ago

"He blatantly disobeyed my orders which were for his own good, and made a fool of me at my own daughter's party. How much has my precious little school girl grown that she can change my son so much?" Yoshiro said over the phone obviously in anger.

"Excuse me Mr. Ootori, but what do you mean by school girl?" Kiyoshi asked in concern for Nika who was all but a daughter to him now.

"Never mind that…escort my son back to the house at once! I don't care if he's in the middle of something it's very urgent." Yoshiro barked.

"But Mr. Ootori Kyouya is very …busy right now." Kiyoshi sweat dropped as he tried not to think of what Kyouya and Nika were doing now that they were reunited.

"Do you like your job? Because if you do, you will do as you're told and not ask questions otherwise I can easily hire a monkey to drive for me." Yoshiro said coldly as he hung up leaving Kiyoshi very scared.

"A monkey huh?" Kiyoshi said before he got out of the limo and headed towards the alley.

Present

Kyouya got out of the limo when they arrived at his home and noticed the look on Kiyoshi's face.

"Are you ok Masa-san?" Kyouya asked.

Kiyoshi was startled since it was the first time Kyouya ever said his name and apologetically nodded yes.

Kyouya gave Kiyoshi a final glance as he entered his home feeling like a condemned prisoner meeting a judge. As Kyouya walked inside and headed towards his fathers office he thought of what he would say as far as Éclair and how he would explain it so that it wouldn't get back to Nika in anyway for her own safety.

"Just take a deep breath. This is your father I'm sure he's a man of reason and will sympathize with his own son." Kyouya thought even though he knew fully well his father never once acted like a real father.

Kyouya opened the large wooden doors and stepped inside the seemingly always shady office of his father.

"You called for me Otousan?" Kyouya asked hesitantly with a bow.

Yoshiro had his back turned to his son trying to weigh his words carefully to leave the biggest impact. Breaking someone was an art form to him which never should be rushed or un-savored.

"Where were you tonight?" Yoshiro asked not hiding his smile as he saw his son's reflection in the large pane of glass at the back of his office.

"I went to Fuyumi's party of course." Kyouya said truthfully.

"And what did you do there?" Yoshiro asked standing up keeping his back still to Kyouya as he reveled in knowing his favorite son was working up an excuse.

"By how urgent Masa-san made it sound, I thought you wanted to see me about something important." Kyouya said worried by the questions his father was asking.

"You call him by his name now?" Yoshiro asked turning around to look at the stranger of a son that stood before him.

"It is only right for me to know the name of someone who has driven me since I was a child, but none the less why did you call me here?" Kyouya stated.

"What would make you think I would not attend my own daughter's party?" Yoshiro asked flatly with a sting to his voice as he mentally sighed from his son not wanting to play his little game for a little while longer.

"He knows!" Kyouya panicked in his head knowing now that his father was testing to see if he would speak the truth of what he did

"I'm sorry for my actions tonight Otousan, but in all due respect it was not fair for you to assign me a fiancé that one of my closest friends broke up with recently." Kyouya tried to explain hoping that his father did not actually see him with Nika but only heard the argument he had with Éclair.

"Well if that was the case you should of told me sooner I would have had you engaged to the Ms.Yichiru. Her family is in charge of medical supplies, they would be a great asset to us." Yoshiro said happily.

"That's not what I meant. It is not fair for me to be engaged to someone without prior notice especially if there is already someone in my life!" Kyouya blurted out cursing himself afterwards.

Yoshiro did all he could to hide his grin as he watched his son fall into his trap.

"So that young girl you tangoed with wasn't just some innocent bystander." Yoshiro said going to the front of his desk for a better view of his son's misery which would be remedied very shortly.

"I know I have shamed our family by not standing up to your wishes, but as you may have heard Éclair and I were not cut out for each other. Our hearts both belonged to someone else so it was indeed not fair to us." Kyouya said humbly.

"If she really was important to you, you wouldn't have willingly let me believe you accepted your engagement to another woman at all, none the less for two days." Yoshiro stated baiting Kyouya further.

"And if I was important to you, you would have sat down and talked with me about the possibility of an arranged marriage instead of simply assigning me one behind my back and reaping the rewards." Kyouya said somewhat coldly before he could stop himself.

Yoshiro was shocked at the fact his son who did everything he said was now standing up for himself. It seemed as if the air stood still as Kyouya's eyes were big in fright as he looked down in embarrassment of his own actions "What was I thinking?" went through his head as he opened his mouth to apologize only to be cut off my his fathers hearty laughter.

"I was hoping if you did fall for a commoner it would be Fujioka-san, but if this girl can make you grow a back bone then I must meet her." Yoshiro said with a large grin.

"Haruhi? I'm afraid Tamaki is courting her..whether she knows it or not, but I was never attracted to her in the first place..." Kyouya said drifting off when the full weight of what his father said took hold.

Yoshiro only raised an eyebrow at his son as he saw a shimmer of joy on his face which was quickly hidden as Kyouya cleared his throat and pushed his glasses up.

"When would you like to meet Nika-Chan?" Kyouya asked with his usual cool tone.

"Why not have her come by this weekend, it's supposed to be nice so she can wear a yukata and I'll get to meet this young lady who has captured my sons attention." Yoshiro said with a smile.

Kyouya nodded yes and bowed before excusing himself completely ignoring the weirdness that his father talked about what he wanted Nika to wear.

As Kyouya closed the door Yoshiro's smile turned into a full grin.

"I wonder if my dear, sweet, beautiful Nika will remember me." Yoshiro thought as got up and pulled the old rag doll he kept in his desk.

"I think its time we finished what we started…don't you?" Yoshiro said as he rubbed his hand on the doll.
