Well, you seemed to like the last chapter guys, I hope you like this one. =D
Haruhi had gotten to the end of the corridor before she realised it 'I just invited him back to my room! Well I didn't but it's kind of implied. We only just started dating like... two minutes ago there's no way he would expect anything... but we have kissed, three times and I did see him... NO! Don't even go there.' Haruhi fought the blush that was rising rapidly on her face. 'Please don't let him have seen, please don't let him have seen.' 'Why is she blushing? Could it be she only just realised that we're going to her room? I won't do anything if she doesn't.' He reached down between them and gripped her hand tightly in his, she was so warm. He grinned at the look of surprise on her face as he led her through the twisting corridors of his home. The possibilities were roaming though his mind, she was his girlfriend and she was living with him. He couldn't believe his luck as they wandered past Akito who looked at their joined hands and then back at Kyoya's face with an arched eyebrow. 'That's right, you can't have her. She's mine, you lose. God, what's happening with me, why am I acting like this?'
They walked silently to her door, both of them content to just be with each other. They were so wrapped up in their own little world that they hadn't realised they had not only arrived at her room but had gone in. Haruhi looked around the wonderful room still unable to believe that she was here, for whatever reason, and that she was dating Kyoya... that was still so weird. If she hadn't been so confused and upset she would have been pissed by the way he ordered her about but... she did, really want to be with him and she had for a long time. He was the source of her frustration and her excitement at facing every day at Ouran. How could one boy cause such conflicting emotions in her?
She plopped down on the nearest couch and ran her free hand over her face. Why was it that since she had gone to Ouran her life was so much more complicated? Kyoya released her hand and walked over to the bookshelves. As he browsed the shelves she settled herself more comfortably in the seat as she watched him, he really was handsome. Everything about him screamed privilege, she looked at the clothes that had been left out for her by the ninja maids. Her clothes, faded colours and fraying hems. Things she hadn't even noticed till she had been submersed in the luxurious ways of the host club. She had never cared about that before and didn't really care now but... would she embarrass him. They couldn't go out together because he wouldn't like the places she did and she couldn't afford the places he chose to go. 'Stop picking holes, the relationship is five minutes old and already you've practically ended it... oh my god I have to tell dad, they might not have heard that part and even if they did he will still expect me to tell him. I don't want to tell him, he'll kick up a fuss.'
Kyoya walked back to her with two books clenched firmly in his hands, he passed her one and then before she could even glance at the title he swiped her up into his arm. "Kyoya what are you-oh." He planted himself down on the couch underneath her and laid down. She was partially on his chest and lap, feeling rather awkward. Kyoya didn't even blink as he wrapped one arm around her and the other held at a distance so he could read his book. She decided not to ask about his unusual behavior and settled into a more comfortable position and looking at her book. 'Jane Eyre', she grinned widely, this was one of her all time favourite books. The significance of the story hit her, had Kyoya meant something by this. The poor girl falling for her rich master and he, in turn, falling for her. There was so much more to the story than simply that, Bertha for example, but... no, she was over thinking this, he probably just picked her out what he thought of as girly book for her to read.
Haruhi was wrong to second guess her theory about the hidden meaning of the book choice; Kyoya was the shadow king after all. Usually Kyoya would have preferred a more subtle way of getting through to her and, not for the first time, he thanked some higher being she was so easy to read. He had seen her looking at him and then herself, he had seen the dejected look on her face. Kyoya shut his eyes briefly, hearing the words of one of Haruhi's middle school friends ringing in his ears.
"Well after a while she and Kei started going out, he wore her down you know. She really liked him, I mean really liked him. We all thought that that one would go all the way. We had heard of some of our senpai's who were in relationships in school getting married out of it and it seemed like they were even closer than them. Then one day Haruhi came into class looking really upset, she wouldn't tell anyone what was wrong. Turns out Kei, he'd been cheating on her, with loads of girls. He said it was because Haruhi wouldn't even kiss him. She was gutted, she had a close group of friends that she was always with but before that she would play with other people too but after... she was never without one of the others. I hope she's happier in secondary school, look after her for me, 'kay."
Kyoya felt was sickened at the thought of someone else being with his Haruhi, marrying his Haruhi but at the same time what sickened him most was the way some idiotic boy had hurt his Haruhi. How could anyone cheat on such a perfect girl? It was inconceivable to Kyoya why something as pathetic as not getting kissed would drive someone to ruin the happiness of the petite woman he know held to him. Kyoya felt afraid, afraid of Tamaki's reaction, afraid of losing his best friend but most of all he felt terrified of losing her. He would face a thousand Tamaki's to keep this girl with him so how could someone have wilfully pushed her away?
Kyoya was snapped out of his depressing thoughts by her small hand. Running itself through his hair, nails scraping softly and wonderfully against his scalp. It made him want to press his head firmer against her hand but he daren't in case she stopped. He contented himself to looking at her subtly from the corner of his eyes as she happily read the story of Jane and Edward Rochester. She was already miles into the book where as he was too distracted to even turn the first page. And all the while her hand kept up its delicious assault of his perfect hair, his eyes slid closed as all the tension he had stored up within himself bled away with every stroke. Every caress pushing him, further and further, into a relaxed and sleepy state.
Haruhi was drawn out of the world of Bronte's creation by the soft thump of a book hitting carpeted floors. She twisted her neck to see Kyoya peacefully sleeping against her, his hand lolling off the side of the couch. Haruhi smiled at the sight, before trying to untangle her hands from his hair. This drew a whimper from the sleeping man so she carefully resumed her ministrations. With her other hand she placed her book over the back of the settee and removed his glasses. She managed to reach over and get them onto the coffee table without waking him. She shifted so she was almost sitting up and he was on top of her to prevent him from rolling off. His warm weight was comforting to her and she didn't even mind that he was using her chest (or lack thereof) as a pillow.
Her thoughts drifted to the host club, she loved those boys so much. With them she had gained more than just friends, she had gained a family. A group of brothers and, as much as it pained her to admit it, a man scarily similar to her father. She had gained Kyoya. A bear wrapped in an enigma tied up in a puzzle. She smiled at the memories of their antics. She hadn't smiled that much since... middle school had been hard, people she thought were her friends abandoned her. If it hadn't been for her girls she would have been alone. She almost crushed Kyoya into her, she didn't want to be alone anymore and she wasn't. She had everyone she needed now, her father, and her friends. It was only when Kyoya started stirring that she loosened her grip. Why was it she always ended up hurting the people she cared about most?
She was dreading Monday, when Monday came she could lose everything that she had gained. It was with that uneasiness in her heart that Haruhi finally succumbed to the sleepiness that had gnawing away at her.
And that is how their eccentric, slightly tipsy, fathers found them. Grasping each other tightly as they lay on the couch, protecting each other from the outside world and the prying hands of a transvestite who didn't appreciate the way his daughter was being used as a pillow or the way Kyoya seemed to snuggle even further against her as Ranka failed to rouse them. Yoshio had torn the foolish man off his son whispering about demons, sobbing maids and low blood pressure. When Ranka sobered up a little later upon hearing about the moods Kyoya woke up in he thanked Yoshio profusely for saving his life whilst making a mental note that though Kyoya was the favourite, Ranka could still dislike him for taking his precious little girl. As an afterthought he prayed for Haruhi's safety upon Kyoya's waking up. If Yoshio's tale were anything to go by she was in for a rough ride...THERE HAD BETTER NOT BE ANY RIDING! Rough or otherwise. For the first time ever Ranka regretted not having a son.
Host club POV Earlier that day
"If Kyo-Chan were here I know exactly what he would say."
"A-a-and what might that be Honey senpai?"
Honey squared his shoulders and pretended to push some glasses up his nose. "This is why I was against a surprise visit." Even though that was one of the cutest things they had ever seen the other hosts could not enjoy it. They were too busy looking at the remains of Haruhi's hove-home.
Tamaki was surprisingly calm. The others thought that he was so far in shock that he had gone beyond regression... he had become... sensible. "Hikaru, try calling her mobile again, Kaoru try calling Kyoya and see if he knows anything about this." "Yes boss." The twins yelled in unison before hurriedly typing on their phones.
Hikaru growled in frustration as he was once again put through to voicemail. "Haruhi, where the hell are you? We're at yourshac- flat and... Are you ok? You had better not be hurt or I'll kill you. I'm going to ring again in a minute so that's all for now."
Again he smashed in the numbers he knew so well and again he was met with "This is Haruhi, I'm not here right now but please leave a message after the tone. Except you Tamaki senpai, stop clogging up my voicemail." BEEEEEEEEP "Damn it Haruhi answer the phone! I swear if you don't answer it I'll... I'll... well I don't know what I'll do but it won't be pleasant. This stopped being funny like straight away so call back. Bye."
Hikaru didn't call back again, not because he didn't want to but because Mori confiscated his phone. Hikaru kicked some of the rubble in frustration whilst Honey watched anxiously.
Honey was worried and upset. If Haruhi was hurt he would kill the person responsible, Haruhi was like his sister. He loved her so much and the thought that something bad had happened to her was painful beyond belief but he had to be strong, for Tama-Chan and the others. Mori put his hand on the smaller boys shoulder, Mori could see very clearly how upset Honey was even if he was trying to hide it. Tamaki stood in what was once Haruhi's doorway, he gazed on at the mess with outwardly calm eyes but inside he was in an absolute frenzy.
'Where is she? I hope she is ok. If she was ok wouldn't she have called us back by now? Why would she have? She didn't know you were going to drop by for some father-daughter-host club time. She isn't obligated to tell us everything. Yes but this seems like a big thing not to tell us, surely a phone call wouldn't have been uncalled for. What happens if they're trying to find somewhere else to live, they aren't going to have a phone yet. One of them could be in the hospital or anything. She has a mobile phone now, the twins gave her it. So maybe it ran out of charge or she turned it off, her house has just been destroyed charging her phone probably isn't one of her top priorities. If she has found somewhere new to live she may have put the phone in a box and not unpacked that box yet. I'm worried for my daughter. So am I.
"All right then men. New game, first to find Haruhi wins." "Tama-Chan areyo-"Mori placed the other hand on honey's shoulder, spinning him around to face him he shook his head at the boy and said...
"Bad idea."

Please review and let me know what you think, like it, hate it, love it. Let me know so I can make a story that you guys want.
Wp2 xx
(OH and while I remember thanks for the cyber food... it kept me going )
Kay then... I'm just gonna respond whether or not u asked me to if I can think of anything to say... if I don't then don't be offended 'cause... well just don't. I like chatting with people... I'm hooked to reviews, especially reviews I can talk with you guys with... I feel like I'm close with you... nah not really I just like hearing what you guys think =)
XHikaruXKaoruLoverX- ... my spell check hates your name, just thought I'd tell you =). I'm glad you didn't think the dad talk wasn't too cheesy because that was one worry for me. I just wanted to add some sort of back story and... I dunno start building bridges I guess. I'm getting to the stage now with this story where I have loads of ideas and I'm not sure what to do with them. What will fit and what won't and so I was worried after I'd written it that maybe that was one of the ones that wouldn't. I really hope you like this chapter and the chapters to come =DI am so glad I have made a Kyoya/Haruhi fan of you. Well done for being review 99 and 100 =) love you for it haha Thank you so much for your reviews and thank you for the party ;)
Shit Happens- 333- to tell the truth I can't wait for what happens when the other hosts find out either... I'll be honest the way I write is I start writing and whatever comes out... comes out. I hope you like whatever I end up doing =) thank you for taking the time and reviewing for me =)
simpleplan9913- I am so glad you like the story =) I can never believe it when people tell me they like my work 'cause I read it and find all the faults. I can promise you some lemony goodness in the future but I don't know when... I don't want them to seem to ooc if you get me. I can just see me turning Haruhi into a slut and not realising it haha... oooh now I'm worried. I don't think you're bossy or bratty! That is exactly the kind of thing I need, it lets me know the kind of things you wouldn't mind seeing in a story =D I hope you like this chapter and I hope you review again.
Kouga's older woman- ... no pressure there then haha =) I was so worried putting this chapter out in case you didn't like it. I really hope you did. Thank you so much for your review. =D
Lolcari- Could you imagine if I did kill the host club off... I wouldn't survive the night. =) I'm glad you like it, I hope you review again =) oh and by the way. Thank you for the messages, you're such a sweetie. Like I said I'm so glad you liked it and I can't wait to see what you make of this chapter even if you don't like it as much... that makes little to no sense but I know what I mean haha =)
Aurora-16- There was no rambling =) I like reading what you had to say, I agree that Haruhi could fit with anyone but like I think I said before my personal fave is Kyoya. I like the way their intelligence and personalities clash but combine if that makes any sense at all. I don't believe Kyoya is a robotic character but she humanises him in a way. I've never really thought about their mums before till I started writing about Kotoko and then that got me thinking about Kyoya's mum. Who knows maybe I'll write a fic in the future and not kill her off... maybe? Thank you for my cyber breakfast in bed =) thank you for the review and the really interesting opinion. I really hope you liked this chapter and I hope you review again, I know I sound weird and clingy but I like hearing what people have to say, it lets me know I'm on the right track.
XxSoliexHiddenxX- I'm really glad you liked it, I hope you like this one =D please let me know what you think =)
KellyMeow- I'm sorry you're not well sweetie. I'm glad you liked the chapter and I hope you like this one. There will be a lemon just not yet =P please let me know what you think. Get well soon... well as soon as you can anyway. =)
Ikuto 18- I'm glad you liked the chapter hun, thank you for the cake... I shall have to use it as a plot devise ...hmmmmmmm. I was worried about how I wrote Kyoya because he was the one character I really, really did not want to get wrong. Haruhi isn't a simple character but she is a lot easier than him. So hearing that someone likes it is a definite YAY moment for me =) he does need love and hopefully Haruhi will be the one to give him it... why am I saying hopefully she is, she is the one to give it. =D sooo I really hope you review again and let me know what you think of this chapter.
Feli-san- Last but not least. I'm so glad you like it =D it's like I've said to the others, it's great knowing people are enjoying what I'm writing. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think =)
So there you go, please review. I don't care if you don't have positive things to say, I can take creative criticism... well that's not true I will care but more in a 'oh no they don't like it; I must try and sort something out if I can.' Than a 'Nooooo they don't like it, I'll never update again.' If that makes sense. So anyway please review and I'll try and get it updated as soon as. =)
