Halloween
"Hey Guys, I have had the best idea!" Tamaki said loudly in pride, "This Halloween we are going to dress up as Vampires!"
There were mixed reactions to Tamaki's new proposal, Hunny and Mori both agreed that they could make it work and it would be a great opportunity, Kaoru and Hikaru were talking costumes, Kyoya merely agreed it had a lot of potential and Haruhi groaned.
"If there are no objections." Kyoya spoke, a little reluctantly.
"Nope" Hunny was the first to answer.
"We're cool with it!" The twins exclaimed in unison.
"Oh. C'mon, it's stupid!" Haruhi almost shouted.
"Wha?" Tamaki tried to say.
"Haruhi, what do you have against vampires?" Kaoru asked critically, Hikaru was just behind him, listening and agreeing with his twin, Kyoya simply turned to look more towards Haruhi, Mori didn't show any response, as usual, Hunny and Tamaki both seemed a little hurt they loved the idea.
"You heard me before, it is stupid, and do we really expect girls to keep falling for these stupid coz-plays?" Haruhi answered, still bugged by the idiocy of everyone at Ouran.
The Host Club, Halloween
"Wow, this was a great idea, don't you think, Haruhi?" One of her guests asked innocently.
"To be honest when Tamaki came up with it I thought it was stupid, but I must admit," now looking around the room and the host's costumes "it is pretty amazing."
The room was set up as a graveyard, the backs of chairs were set up as gravestones, and dying roses were everywhere and the curtains had been drawn so it was almost pitch black, the only lights were small candles burning on all the tables.
The hosts were just as spectacular. Each host was wearing black trousers lightly laced at the bottom in each hosts colour, they had dark waist coats in their colours on a black patterning, and their cloaks were all perfect fits with coloured silk linings. They all were devilishly handsome, as her Dad, Ranka, would have said. Oh, of course they all had a set of fangs that were specially designed.
"Yeah, what do you think your mother would say if she could see you now?" Haruhi's second guest asked curiously.
"I am not sure; I never imagined I would ever be in any kind of position like this." Haruhi decided now would be a good time to change the subject "What is your favourite part of Halloween?" She asked turning to her third guest.
At the twin's table.
"These costumes are spectacular, did you two design them?" One of their guests asked, dying to hear them talk more.
"Yeah, we both did the designing together." Kaoru answered,
"We measured everyone so we could make sure they fitted perfectly," Hikaru expanded before turning and holding Kaoru's chin up to his face "I am so glad none of the others were designing, I wouldn't be able to bear it if one of them was going to measure you." He whispered in a sorrowful voice.
"I know, I couldn't have either." Kaoru answered in a relieved tone. Their guests swooned at their brotherly love.
Tamaki's Table
"Oh, Tamaki, bite me so we can spend eternity together." Said one of his more frequent guests.
"Not here my Princess, but when we are alone I shall lift this curse of loneliness thrust upon us both and we shall be together." Tamaki said trying to keep his guests in a dream land so he could talk to Kyoya. "Excuse me ladies, I need to go have some blood." He said taking on a Transylvanian accent for a little joke. While the girls discussed the thought of him drinking their blood he walked to Kyoya's table.
"Well done Tamaki, the girls are especially happy tonight, vampires were a good theme." He said without taking his eyes off his laptop screen.
"Yeah, whatever, why aren't you hosting?" Tamaki asked, a little worried. Kyoya hadn't taken time off hosting for a while; there were no upcoming exams; stock market changes or anything else that would normally keep him from hosting.
"I haven't been keeping up with the host accounts, I thought now would be a good time; just before the weekend." Kyoya answered in a disinterested tone.
"Yeah, but it is a themed night, we generally all do themed days, I know you haven't done them all but we put a lot of effort into today." Tamaki was almost pleading now.
"I am sorry Tamaki but I am busy and I am sure your guests can't wait to have you drink their blood." Kyoya answered, blocking Tamaki as much as possible. Tamaki knowing there was no way he would see through Kyoya this time sighed and was about to head back to his table when a thought came to him.
"Haruhi, come here, I have a favour to ask." He called over to her table. She reluctantly walked to him.
"Yes, Sempi?" She asked, almost glaring at him.
"Kyoya is not taking part in hosting again, he is blocking me out, can you talk to him?" Tamaki had noticed Haruhi could often see through all the hosts.
"Uh, I guess so." Haruhi had been taken off guard by this request but she didn't argue and went to sit opposite Kyoya. She looked at him and didn't know why but said "What the heck is wrong, Sempi?" She even sounded angry.
Kyoya froze for a couple of seconds, staring at Haruhi, mouth open, revealing his fangs; for a second Haruhi looked and noted how well the fangs fitted Kyoya, probably from the twins stupid shadow king thing. She thought, before blinking a couple of times and saying
"I would expect you to be more polite, it is unusual for someone to address me in such a way."
Haruhi was just a little more angered by his response "That wasn't an answer."
"Fine, wrong with what?" Kyoya said, never losing his cool.
"Kyoya, you're still trying to dodge the question, what is wrong with you?" Her voice softened just a little at the end.
"Nothing is wrong with me, now if you don't mind I have some wo" He said trying to turn back to his computer but Haruhi's voice stopped him from finishing
"Cut the crap, Sempi, what is it that is bothering you? That is stopping you hosting, that isn't the accounts? What is it making you try and build up your ice walls?" Haruhi was louder again and was staring intently at Kyoya, ignoring some of the guests, including her own, that were now watching.
"Haruhi, you are causing a scene over nothing, your guests are waiting, now is not the time." Kyoya said coolly.
"So there is something!" Haruhi said almost triumphantly.
"When did I say there was something?" Kyoya never lost his cool on the outside but on the inside he was cursing.
"You said "now is not the time" so there is something." Haruhi explained her voice only marginally quieter; this was really going to cause Kyoya some problems if she didn't lower her voice sometime soon.
"Even if there was a problem, which there is not, you still have guests waiting." Kyoya said slowly and clearly, repeating himself from earlier.
"Fine." Haruhi gave in defiantly, she wasn't giving up but he was right that she had guests waiting so she got up and went to talk with them.
Just after the Club
Everyone got back into their uniforms after the girls had left; no one spoke much. Haruhi took some extra time packing her bag, waiting until Kyoya was sat down, back at his computer. She was about to try talking to him again but decided against it because of the other hosts.
It didn't take them long to leave none of them liked the silence but didn't want to be the ones to break it. Soon enough just Tamaki, Kyoya and Haruhi remained. Haruhi was startled by the change of sound coming from where Kyoya was sat; she looked up and saw him packing away.
"You should not be leaving Sempi, if the accounts needed doing that bad you would still need to be working based on the time it normally takes you to do them, or are you trying to avoid talking to either me or Tamaki-Sempi, we are the only ones who have ever seen through your ice wall so you are bringing this on yourself even more." Haruhi had the fire inside her again. She stood up and faced him, ignoring the glare he was giving her. "What in hell has got you acting this way?"
Tamaki was frozen; Haruhi looked scarier than she had ever looked before. Kyoya didn't move but in a smooth voice quietly spoke. "Tamaki, I request that you leave me to talk to Haruhi alone, I am sure you are needed at home so there is no reason for you to still be here." Kyoya now turned so Tamaki could see his face; he wasn't going to argue at Kyoya when he was like this. A few seconds later Tamaki was gone.
Kyoya looked back round the room, Haruhi had cleared away all the decorations, he looked out the window and cursed under his breath. Haruhi didn't miss his actions because she hadn't taken her eyes off him. Suddenly confused she followed his eye line. Outside there were the gardens of Ouran and in the sky she could see the stars beginning to come out, the moon was full. Now even more confused she looked back at Kyoya, she was about to ask him what was wrong again but when she saw him her words caught in her throat.
Kyoya's eyes were full of sorrow and pity. "I am so sorry, Haruhi, this shouldn't happen, I tried so hard!" Kyoya started to sound angry at the end, not at Haruhi, but himself.
Haruhi found her voice again but it was shaky "Kyoya-Sempi, what is it?"
Sorry probably really badly written, I was thinking of doing another chapter, I don't know where to go with it! If you have any ideas please put it in the review and I will do my best!
