Title: Disappointments

Warning: Its not beta-ed. OOCnes.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran.

A/N: So here is how the story should continue. I am sorry for the confusion that I've caused in Chapter 7! Gomen!

Chapter 8: Broken hearts

"Ootori Kyouya speaking,"

"It's me…"

"Ah, Haruhi. How may I help you?"

"We need to talk. Are you free this Sunday?"

--Silence--

"Yes I am,"

"Good, then we'll meet up at the usual fast food restaurant at 1pm, okay?"

"Alright, I'll see you then…"

Saturday…

Fujioka Haruhi! Stop being nervous! It's just Kyouya. He will not eat you for lunch. Hold yourself together! I can do this! I know I can!

Haruhi was pacing around her room, trying to calm herself down.

"Haruhi, calm down. It's Kyouya that you are going to meet. Not the devil," Kaoru placed his hands on Haruhi's shoulder.

Haruhi let out a little laugh, "I'd rather meet the devil,"

Kaoru pinched Haruhi's nose playfully, "Don't say that. Let me come with you, please…"

Should she allow Kaoru to come along? Haruhi wouldn't dare imagine how Kyouya would react when he sees them walking towards him, hand in hand. Perhaps he would stay calm and shoot them an icy glare. Or perhaps he would throw his anger at them.

What is the worst that could happen?

"Alright… You can come,"

He beamed with delight, "Really?!"

"Yes, but please behave Kaoru,"

"Hai, Lady Haruhi!" Kaoru mockingly saluted her.

--------------------

Kyouya is tapping his fingers nervously on the table. This is not the usual him. The usual Kyouya would be sitting calmly on his chair with his legs elegantly crossed. The usual Kyouya would spend his time planning on how to manipulate Haruhi.

But today is different. His intuition tells him that today's the day that Haruhi would tell him her answer. For a second, Kyouya thought that he was going to die when he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head.

Kyouya lips curled into a grin when he saw Haruhi emerging from the crowd. She looks happy. Her skin radiated more than ever and she was wearing a beautiful smile on her face. Her brown hair bounced lightly as she walked. Kyouya waved at her and she waved back.

That grin of Kyouya's face was short lived when he saw a slight hint of red hair. He swear that he had stopped breathing for a few seconds the moment he saw Kaoru emerged, holding Haruhi's hand. This can't be true. Kaoru and Haruhi together?

"Kyouya…" Kyouya looked up at Haruhi.

His eyes were filled with tears. Haruhi's heart ached to see him like this.

"Please, have a seat," he managed to choke out.

I have lost… The great Ootori Kyouya has everything in the world but love, Haruhi's love.

Haruhi started talking first, "Kaoru and I are…"

She couldn't continue her sentence. It was hard to break the news to the former Shadow King.

Kyouya's voice was distressed, "Haruhi, I know I have lost. Good luck to you and Kaoru,"

He dropped his head after finishing his sentence.

Kaoru looked worried. He didn't mean to hurt Kyouya like this.

"Kyouya, we're sorry," Kaoru said.

Kyouya's anger was starting to boil. He hated that Hitachiin twin. He wanted the both of them to disappear from his sight that instant. Kyouya couldn't stand the sight of Haruhi in someone else's arms.

He smacked his fist down on to the table.

"That's enough Hitachiin! I don't need your pity. Now leave! The both of you!"

They left without saying another word. Kaoru and Haruhi didn't want to make Kyouya angrier than he already is.

--------------------

Beep… Beep…

Haruhi's cell phone rang. It was already one in the morning. Haruhi blindly searched for her handphone.

She lazily greeted the caller, "Hello…."

Someone is chuckling at the other end of the line. Haruhi recognised that voice in an instant.

"Kyouya! What's wrong?"

"Oh my dear Haruhi, I think I'm drunk… Hahahaha" his speech was slurred.

"Hahaha…. It's so funny that I've lost to a Hitachiin!"

Haruhi's eyes shot open that instant. She sat up on her bed.

"Where are you now? Are you alright?"

"I…I… I'm at home…"

Haruhi heard glass smashing and the line went dead.

Oh my goodness! Kyouya! Why are you tormenting yourself Kyouya? Alcohol will not make you forget things. Why? Why are you doing this?

Bang… Bang…

"Kyouya! Open the door!"

Kyouya is already asleep on his working desk, with an empty wine bottle in his hand. His head feels like it's being pierced by a hundred daggers. He tried taking another sip of wine, not knowing that his bottle is already empty.

The vicious knocks from downstairs is making is head hurt even more. The owner of the voice sounds familiar. Haruhi.

"Arggh… Who's that?" Kyouya groaned.

He ran clumsily down the stairs to let Haruhi in.

"Haruhi, why…why are you here?" he squinted hard to get a better vision of Haruhi.

The petite woman in front of him had tears in her eyes. Haruhi's heart ached to see him in this condition. Nobody should suffer because of her.

Kyouya reached out to wipe the tears off her face.

"Please… stop crying. I don't want to see you cry," Kyouya enveloped Haruhi in his arms.

"I don't want to see you like this either! Why are you hurting yourself?" Haruhi punched his chest with all her might.

"Why? Kyouya? Why?"

"I… Because I love you too much. I can't bear seeing you with Kaoru."

"You needn't drown your sorrows by drinking!"

Drops of water landed on Haruhi's face. She blinked her eyes. It wasn't hers. It was Kyouya's. Haruhi looked up to meet his dark eyes.

Haruhi could finally see through his emotionless eyes. Those dark eyes that hid all his feelings were now open to Haruhi.

"It pains my heart Haruhi… It hurts so much…" Kyouya rest his chin on Haruhi's head.

"I know it does. You've hurt me so badly when you left,"

"I—I'm sor…" Kyouya started vomiting.

Haruhi panicked, "Kyouya!"

To be continued…

A/N: I am so sorry my dear readers! My surprise backfired! Chapter 7 totally not part of the plotline. Oh dear, how do I explain myself? Ignore Chapter 7 if you're not a Kyouya fan. Sigh…

I will be ending Disppointments soon. Maybe another 1 or 2 more chapters and I'm done! Yay!

And last but not least, thank you so much for reading and your reviews! Yes, it does inspire me to write. So keep them coming it!
