"A New Life"

Chapter 12

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night, Kyouya did indeed call Haruhi at nine o'clock even though he felt tired and stressed from the meetings all through out the days. Haruhi would wait for his calls knowing how exhausted he was feeling and she would say things to calm him down and relax. Although she did wish to see him more during those days, she was spending time with everyone else. Tamaki, Mori and Hunny went to the host club to see Hikaru, Kaoru, and her everyday and then go out afterwards. Haruhi made sure she was home before eight thirty at night so she can calmly wait for his calls.

Finally the day of Haruhi's, no Katurya's, ball, Haruhi went to school hearing people discussing that they were attending a ball that night held for an unknown "Miss Kamiizumi." Haruhi left the host club activities early, pretending to feel slightly ill so that she could return home and get prepared. Haruhi didn't care for the ball, she didn't want it but it was her guardian's wishes. Graduation was coming up on Wednesday and she was looking forward to that, but not her ball.

She sighed before opening her bedroom door where she could hear a few people fussing so that can get her ready for the ball. As she heard outside the doors, several maids were getting things ready and hurrying around the room except one person sitting calmly on one of her chairs. He stood up and walked towards her when he saw her enter.

"Haruhi." Kyouya smiled down and kissed her on the cheek.

"Kyouya! I was expecting to see you until tonight." Haruhi smiled warmly and felt like bouncing up and down but held that in.

"I'm sorry Ohtori-sama. But Miss needs to get ready." Tomari said to him in a strict and orderly voice. It made Haruhi chuckle and follow her.

"I'll wait and see you later Haruhi." Kyouya said and walked towards the doors.

Haruhi took a shower and received a facial and her nails all done. She went to her bedroom to find a gown placed on her bed for her to get dressed in. After putting on the dress, she had a wig of her exact hair color placed firmly on her head. Tomari and Yasuna did her makeup nice and light because they knew Haruhi didn't like so much of 'the junk' on her face.

As the maids left to help the last preparations for the ball that would begin in fifteen minutes, Haruhi finally looked into the mirror. Her light blue gown brushed against the floor. The gown wasn't so puffy or too clingy to her body either. The top of the dress was made as a halter which revealed just the top of her chest and its material meshed against each other to create a nice look for her figure. Her wig was in long and very loose curls that reached to the middle of her back. Her shoes were shimmering silver and so was the butterfly hair clip that gave the wig the half up and half down hairstyle.

"You're very stunning tonight Haruhi," Kyouya stood behind her looking into the same mirror, "Very beautiful." Kyouya kissed her hand and looked into her eyes, "Although you're missing something." Out of his pocket he withdrew an engagement ring he bought while she was getting ready for the ball.

"Oh Kyouya! It's so…" Kyouya slipped the ring on her finger.

"Perfect." He finished saying for her. "I will go downstairs and meet with Tamaki. Your entrance will be in forty five minutes so that all your guests will be here. Good luck."

This is it Haruhi! Tonight, the announcement of the engagement with Kyouya will take place. Oh! Please watch over me, father and mother she thought as she sat and waited for the time of her entrance.
