The day seemed cold as mist traveled into the creaks of her window. There was no school today, for it was Saturday. Haruhi opened her eyes to see what time it was; 9:00 AM. Haruhi jumped out of bed hitting her face on the end table. "Ouch" Haruhi softly said as she pulled herself back together.
Haruhi quickly put on some comfortable clothes and shoes and brushed her hair slightly. She brushed her teeth and stared at the mirror for a moment. Thoughts in her head swam around. Haruhi finally snapped out of it as she took a breath and smiled.
Haruhi walked out of her bathroom then bedroom leading to the living room. She looked around and walked towards the exit. She had to shop for groceries to make dinner.
Haruhi closed the door behind her as she started walking, though something she stepped on stopped her. She looked down to see an envelope. She picked it up and read "To Haruhi" She opened it up seeing that the card was a pretty fabric, something like satin or velvet. Haruhi opened the card and read it.
Dear Haruhi, I've been wondering for the past weeks. I never had the time to ask you though, until now. I'd like you to go on a date with me. I'll take you to a special place so you won't know until then.
I'll be picking you up at 12 noon sharp! :D
Love Tamaki
As Haruhi finished reading this she smiled and held the card to her heart. She couldn't wait until that time, which was about three hours from now. Haruhi could do a lot of things with that time.
Haruhi took the card and placed the card in her shirt so she wouldn't have to go back inside. It was uncomfortable but she was only going to buy groceries.
Haruhi left to the small shop and bought everything she needed for dinner. It didn't take her that long since she already knew what she was going to cook. It only took her five minutes to shop, and about the same amount to go home.
Haruhi was already at her apartment opening the door softly so she wouldn't wake her dad. Haruhi put the bags of groceries on the table and unloaded.
When Haruhi was finished she stood there, looking around the room. What was she supposed to do in the time she had? What did she usually do? Study and clean was the answer.
Haruhi wanted time to fly by quickly so she did her chores and work slowly, so that it could take longer.
Time flew by like a bird as the clock already read 11:00 AM, just as Haruhi thought. Haruhi stopped working and got ready, took a bath, putting on a cute outfit, fixing her hair, and everything else she needed to do.
When Haruhi was done getting ready, the clock read 11:50 AM. Haruhi usually doesn't take this long, but she wanted to look really nice for Tamaki.
There was ten minutes before Tamaki would be here. Haruhi decided to spend her time studying. This time she studied faster, so she could get things done more.
--------------------------------
As Haruhi studied, a knock on the door stopped her. Haruhi closed her book immediately and opened the door. There, Tamaki stood smiling. Haruhi smiled too as she was about to close the door and walk out but forgot something.
"Hold on Tamaki!" Haruhi said as she ran back inside. She opened the door to see her dad was already dressed. Haruhi was going to ask him if she was able to go to a "friend's house". She knows she's lying, and it pains her but she has no choice. She would one day, tell her dad her true feelings. She hopes he'd understand once she told him.
"Dad, I'm going to a friend's house" Haruhi said as she waited for his answer.
"What friend?" her dad asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ha-Hanako" Haruhi said with a weak smile.
"Okay, Haruhi have fun!" her dad said smiling.
"I will" Haruhi said still, with a small smile on her face.
As Haruhi closed the door she ran to Tamaki quickly grabbing his hand. Tamaki smiled as he intertwined his fingers with hers. Tamaki took her to the car and allowed her to get in first. They sat together, still holding hands and were silent most of the car ride.
When they got there Haruhi was amazed what she had seen. A very fancy restaurant called "Abrianna". The name sounded American. "Ah-Bri-An-Na" Haruhi tried to pronounce the name.
"Come on Haruhi, Let's go" Tamaki said as he took her hand making her get off the seat. Tamaki closed the door behind Haruhi as he walked with her to the restaurant.
"They have American food here, including seafood" he said as he winked at her. Haruhi laughed as her mouth watered. She loves seafood and was craving it.
"Ah, we're here" Tamaki said as he opened the door for Haruhi, allowing her to go in first.
Haruhi stared at the restaurant. The floor and walls looked beautiful, there were paintings of cherry blossoms and other flowers, the table and chairs looked rich too. Haruhi looked around to see what else there was. She noticed a waterfall sounding divine with the classic music playing.
"Haruhi, our table is ready" Tamaki softly said to Haruhi.
"Yes, I'm coming" Haruhi said following him.
There were menus already prepared. Haruhi took the menu and looked through it to find seafood. She found it and looked under the title to see what they had. The word "Lobster" caught her attention. She looked to see what the price was. Haruhi's mouth dropped as she still looked at the price. 6,367 yen? Haruhi didn't think she could afford that.
"Ta-Tamaki?" Haruhi asked still looking at the menu.
"I'm paying for everything" Tamaki said as if he read her mind.
"Thanks, Tamaki" Haruhi said smiling.
"No problem, Haruhi" Tamaki said as he smiled back.
A waitress came with a pad of paper and a pen. She looked American but Haruhi was sure she spoke Japanese.
"May I please take your order?" the waitress asked smiling, with an American accent.
"I'll have your "Medium Well" done steak and a side dish of rice please" Tamaki replied looking at the woman.
"Ah, I'll have your lobster" Haruhi said as she still looked at the menu.
"'Anything to drink?" the waitress asked smiling.
"We'll both have sweetened tea" Tamaki answered as he looked straight in Haruhi's eyes. He could tell what she wanted just by looking at her face.
"Okay, your food will be ready in 20 minutes" the waitress said as she pulled her hair back and smiled. The waitress walked off with her notepad.
"You haven't given daddy a kiss yet, Haruhi!" Tamaki said to her as he laughed at what he just said.
Haruhi laughed too as she grabbed his hand and kissed him from across the table.
They both smiled for a moment, still looking at each other until something hit Haruhi.
A terrible image appeared in her mind. The image seemed bloody and it had her in it. Though it wasn't just her, it was a familiar looking, young man's face.
Haruhi froze as she figured out who the other person was in the image. Then the atmosphere started to feel different. Something burned in Haruhi chest and the room started to spin. Next the room was pitch dark, and Haruhi heard Tamaki's voice.
She fell down to the floor and closed her eyes as her whole body seemed to be in pain. Tamaki immediately grabbed her and held her in his arms.
"Haruhi? Haruhi, what's wrong?" Tamaki asked seriously. Though there was no answer. Tamaki started to feel panicky at this. "Haruhi!?" Tamaki asked.
