Chapter 4: 'D' is for Dancing
Kyoya was in a foul mood. It had almost been two weeks since Gabriella's last letter, and he was lashing out at everyone. He'd nearly killed Tamaki when the idiot visited a few days ago.
He didn't even know why not getting a letter made him so angry. He just… well, he didn't know what he was anymore. But whatever he was feeling, having to wait for Gabriella's letters didn't make him very cheery.
Kyoya almost didn't notice the letter waiting for him on the desk, he was so angry. Then, after a moment of just staring at it, he tore it open in a hurry.
Kyoya, you really need to calm down. Getting mad won't help. And nearly killing Tamki will only bring you to jail. Kyoya glared at the paper and looked around. Sometimes it seemed like she knew about everything he said or did.
I heard you nearly ripped Hikaru's head off the other day. If you're only going to lash out on people don't meet your friends. You know that the twins are quite annoying. Kyoya scowled. She was messing with him. If she has someone watching over him…..
I spoke with Kaoru on the phone yesterday, but didn't actually see him. He was wondering why you were so angry. Don't worry, I didn't tell him. Well, are you ready for the next letter?
Kyoya sat down with the letter and scowled, why would Gabriella call Kaoru and not him. So far, she haven't called him, she only wrote to him. Kyoya wasn't in control, and he couldn't react the way he wanted. The only way to win control was to tear the letters and stop reading.
Yet, somehow, he just couldn't stop reading.

'D' stands for dancing. I'm pretty sure you expected that Kyoya. Or not.
I didn't know how to dance. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't included in my training. But you taught me how to dance. Even if I kept on stepping on your toes or tripping over my own feet you never gave up.
I had fun every time we dance. I didn't expect to. You were just supposed to be this despicable person that I had to convince to teach me dancing. Also, I had no clue or whatsoever about dancing. You were my first dance ever, and it was forced on both sides, so how could it possibly be fun? Also, all you did was tease me and criticize every move I did. But still, you stayed and you never quitted.
Then, I found out you weren't quite so despicable. You helped me to dance better for the ball. You seemed to be genuinely concerned about my health when I tripped and scraped both of my knees. By the end of the week I was a dancing gracefully, I thought that you had fun teaching me.
You told me you didn't. By then though, I was determined to win and make you admit that you had fun with me.
The one thing I remember best though, is that you tried to protect me. You told all of the heiress in Ouran that I might not be able to dance but I learned and now I was excellent. I remember the time you came to protect me, without anyone telling you to.
Until now for me you were the only one I wanted to dance with, but due to my work I had to dance with several men. I miss the time when you held me perfectly in your arms.

Twenty-two letters left Kyoya. I hope you don't lose your temper this time.
-Gabriella
Kyoya nearly punched the wall. When she said that she had danced with other man, he'd felt… something. Not anger exactly, but something he couldn't describe.
Not jealousy. There was no way he was jealous over the idiot girl dancing with some man. No way whatsoever. Whatever he was feeling, this drive to hunt down the boys and make sure they never got near Gabriella again, it wasn't jealousy.
