"A New Life"
Chapter 9
"Haruhi-chan! Haruhi-chan!" Hunny-senpai ran to hug her first at the airport and then the other members of the original host club. Following him as always was Mori-senpai with the usual greeting, "Ah."
They still were the same devoted cousins and nothing about them changed a bit. They all went to enjoy each other's company at a nice restaurant. Afterwards, Mori and Hunny would have to greet their families from being away in college. Tamaki had to attend to his father's business meeting so he could not stay long either and the twins were begging Haruhi to join them at their mother's fashion show they were attending later, which Haruhi rejected. The only one who seems to remain to keep Haruhi company was Kyouya. She became aware of this and began to become very nervous about being left alone with him although Kyouya, himself was becoming very grateful for finally he can be alone with her.
After everyone went their own ways, only Kyouya and Haruhi remained at the restaurant. "So what would you like to do today, Haruhi?" Kyouya asked her politely as they left the restaurant to his limo.
"I don't know Kyouya-sen…"
"Just call me Kyouya." He smiled slightly at her. She blushed and he realized this. Hmm perhaps I can make our relationship actually succeed today he thought and began planning the day with her in his mind.
"Kyouya," she liked how his name sounded without the senpai "I think we can spend a few hours in the library. I haven't been through the entire library in my new home yet so I would like to have time to read. Plus I have my Physics final exam tomorrow," She said thoughtfully.
"That sounds like a good idea to spend valuable time on." Kyouya agreed. He knew she loves to read so perhaps letting her unwind herself through studying would be the best strategy to ask her out in the most easiest way possible while polite and quiet conversation in the library, he did study physics himself and would be able to help her.
As they reached her place though, Kyouya did a double take on a car standing in front of the mansion doors that he recognized to belong to the Ohtori family. This is unexpected. My sister wouldn't barge herself here…no. My brothers are too busy today as they explained when they were talking to our father today at breakfast…….my father, NO! What could he be doing here he thought quickly and narrowed his eyes at the door as they made their way up the stone steps.
They made their way to the nearest sitting room to find Kyouya's father and Haruhi's guardian laughing together. Kyouya looked at Haruhi and then narrowed his eyes on the scene of the two middle-aged businessmen. Hazumi noticed his adoptive daughter standing at the doorway with none other than Kyouya whom the men were talking about as a couple previously.
"Ah, Katurya and Kyouya-kun, how are you guys today?" He spoke happily.
"I am very well today." "Good." Kyouya and Haruhi answered at the same time and watched the men smile at them.
"Kyouya," his father began, "I'm happy to see your bonding with your new fiancée."
"What?!" they both exclaimed. Both their minds running on the bliss that perhaps the other will agree with the future wedding and also that if the other might hate the idea all together.
"So what do you say Kyouya? You agree to this?"
Kyouya looked at his father and said with an expressionless face "Yes, I agree, father."
"Katurya?" her father addressed her. Her mind ran, he said yes. He said YES! Perhaps he thinks it's a good thing too. Say yes already Haruhi!
"Uh...yes." she blurted out quickly and then blushed deeply. Kyouya looked at her stunned. They had agreed to become engaged to one another. What will Tamaki say? Or the twins, especially Hikaru? Haruhi began thinking the same thoughts throughout the whole time they spent in the library about an hour later.
"Haruhi?" Kyouya couldn't help not knowing anymore. He needed to talk with her, now or never.
"Yes, Kyouya-sen… I mean Kyouya?"
"Are you sure you're okay with this engagement?"
"Are you?" she couldn't help but nervously shift in her seat and pretend to flip another page of the physics textbook.
"Well…." It was now or never he kept repeating to himself "Yes because Haruhi….I been realizing a few things and that I can have possible feelings for you and that well… I love you." He looked at her, "I've been trying to ask you out for a while now but I haven't succeeded and, well, so…" For the first time he felt lost with words. He wanted her to say something, anything! She stared at him. She had been having the same feelings for him when he himself had for her.
"Kyouya?" He jumped slightly that she had finally said something. She continued, "I have been feeling the same for you for a while now too. But I was beginning to think you weren't interested in me, at all."
"Well," Kyouya said, "We're engaged now and we also got a real problem."
Haruhi knew exactly what he was referring to. Tamaki and the twins, especially Hikaru, would not like that they would be engaged to each other. "Yes, the other host club members will know."
"And sooner then we hoped for," Kyouya explained, "Our fathers will be announcing our engagement during your welcoming ball Friday night. The engagement between Ohtori Kyouya and Kamiizumi Katurya will be known to everyone. Fortunately, no one besides the original host club members know that Katurya is no other than Fujioka Haruhi, so you can still pass off as a male until graduation, but Tamaki and the others will know. They will be very upset about this arrangement."
"We can explain our feeling for each other and that our parents arranged this engagement themselves so that we can openly show our feelings. This is the truth." Haruhi said in a hopeful tone but she knew that she was kidding herself.
"The truth can hurt." Kyouya said ending the conversation. They both realized that it will be difficult but they would have to explain it all eventually. They both returned to their reading and studying while both noticing the cold dead feeling of an atmosphere that hung around them.
