I feel like I'm really slow updating recently.. But school has been a pain in my arse so I can't really update that much..
Disclaimer: I do not own this manga, because if I did, I would not be writing this fan fiction, or this disclaimer for that matter.
Chapter 10: 'J' is for Jealousy
There was no luck with asking her parents about her hint. She hadn't been seen at all by her family members, but Kyoya figured that maybe she'd already left France, so he had the investigators search for more solid info. Still no luck.
If only the letters hadn't been hand-delivered. If they were sent through the mail, the search could have been so much easier… by bribing the mailman, but still! But no, Gabriella had to be difficult, and had someone deliver them. Then the maids put them in his room, but none of them knew where the letters came from either.
And then there was this letter, sitting on his desk.
Hello Kyoya. It's been a couple days.
Kyoya scoffed. Try a week and a half!
Okay, it's been a little longer than that. I just wanted to give you some search time. How's the search going for you?
From lack of progress, I'd say it's not going very well. So, here's your letter and your hint.

'J' is for Jealousy.
Jealousy is an emotion you feel when you want to be in someone's place but can't be in their place because you know that it would hurt your pride.
You never get jealous. I mean, you only get jealous went it comes to her, with Hunny sempai interrogating you every single time you blow up I know you were jealous, but you never got jealous when It comes to me. I listen to everyone else say that it was just pure anger towards something or someone, but I didn't believe it like they did.
But someone told me you got jealous over the men flocking over me. You were JEALOUS.
I'm laughing as I write this, on the inside. Because for the past few years I have been wanting to see you get jealous because I was with other men besides you, but I lost all the hope. But hearing you jealous because of my countless dates while being away from you is priceless.
I couldn't believe it, YOU? JEALOUS?!
Remember our conversation where I confronted you about your involvement with her.
What are you doing Kyo? What is your relationship with that girl? Why did you blow up when she and Tamaki kissed?
It's none of your business Gabriella.
None of my business?! IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS?! I'm your fiancé! I should know what's going on with you!
Just leave it alone Gabriella! And remember this, you have no power over me and my personal life. You just have to get over it and forget it even happened.
You went to walk away and I spoke out loud this time. "Maybe I should!" It was the first time I got mad at you. Then you laughed bitterly, called me an idiot, and told me to stop talking.
After that, we grew apart.
I hated it but I felt like it's the best thing for now. Goodbye Kyoya. That was my last words before I never returned.
So here's your hint: I was so jealous that they got to visit there.

Sixteen letters left Kyoya.
-Gabriella
Kyoya glared at the letter, drawing the unnoticed attention of the couple outside his door. They hovered around to watch him, still unnoticed by Kyoya.
Kyoya remember that conversation all too well. It had begun after the club activities and she was helping him clean up. After the fight every time they meet they would be awkwardly speaking with each other.
It was a way to avert the attention of the club members to something else, preferably their customers.
He thought of the hint silently, the place where she wanted to go the most was Spain. It was impossible for her to be in Spain though. Then he remember the restaurant he brought her to for her to forget all about Spain.
The investigators went there last week and told him that all the employees know is that there is always a girl and her ex boyfriend conversing at Kyoya and Gabriella's usual table.
Kyoya hit himself and swore silently. A girl and her ex boyfriend. Swearing out loud, he reached for his phone. He had to call the restaurant now. And he did not believe Gabriella was over him yet.
The couple outside the door walked away slowly to avoid notice. The boy was dressed in the servant's uniform, and had brown hair and laughing green eyes. He wrapped his arm around the girl's waist and walked out of Kyoya's earshot. "Well, I'd say this operation's going well; what do you think?"
The girl turned silently to him, with a smile in her purple eyes. Short blonde hair flowed down to her shoulders, red clips keeping it out of her eyes. " Thanks for the help Ryuta" She said."It's nothing," Ryuta waved off the tanks. "It's fun watching him fumble around after all you've told us about him. Want some cake?"
The girl shook her head and smiled smugly " Nope, thanks for the offer though. I gotta go home"
Ryuta grinned. "Got a date sweetheart?"
The girl grinned as she shook her head said.
"When did I ever go on dates here in Japan? I actually got a letter to write, see you soon."
