Hey everyone. First thank you for all the brilliant reviews that I got given for the last chapter! I love it and it totally makes my day to read them all when I get home. So this is chapter ten. There isn't a specific song that inspired this but the Step up 3 soundtrack, so this is Chapter Ten: Step Up

Chapter ten

The days commencing the ball went by quickly. The host club and Haruhi managed to work together, though it was in silence unless they desperately needed to speak to her. Hunny and Mori often visited and help to make plans for the ball as they had a break from college and from the dojo. Haruhi became extremely busy with the social events of every major business in the Japanese area. With her new social standing and with being heir to her grandmother business, her grandmother stressed the importance of attendance to each of these events.

As she was going over colour samples for her own family's social event, her grandmother entered her room holding a cup of hot chocolate. Smiling, her grandmother placed the cup down on the desk next to Haruhi and went to her closet and started to rummage through the dresses. Her grandmother pulled out a pale pink dress that, when Haruhi wore it, pooled around her feet and shimmered when she walked. Her grandmother held it out to her.

"You should wear this one for tomorrow event" Haruhi looked up from the colour swatches and asked

"What event?" Her grandmother laughed.

"It's for a family that are very major in the medical world right now. You might know their son after all he attends Ouran with you. I think they are called the Ohtori family" Her grandmother said before leaving the room and leaving Haruhi shocked. Haruhi looked at the dress and shock her head.

"If I must but that dress certainly won't cut it" Haruhi placed the dress back into her closet before pulling out a deep red one and smiling.

The next day Haruhi was in music room 3. She hadn't been here for a while but she had a free period and knew that the host club would not be using it until later that day. She pulled out her netbook and logged onto to IM. She scrolled through her contacts list to see if anyone was currently online just as she was doing so the door opened and Kyouya walked through. He stopped when he saw Haruhi sat down at a table. He strode over to the table and placed his own laptop down onto the same table opposite her. They worked in silence for a while until Haruhi spoke up

"So party at yours tonight then?" Kyouya looked up from his laptop to see her staring at him.

"You invited my grandmother. So that's how I know." Kyouya smiled. Pushing his glasses up, he replied

"Of course we invited her. She is quite a wealthy woman and would be a perfect backer for my father's company. And of course the host club's families are invited, what with Tamaki's father and mine working so closely" Haruhi smiled and Kyouya wondered what she had to be so happy about. Haruhi turned her attention back to her netbook.

That evening Haruhi zipped up the dress that she had chosen and looked at herself in the mirror. Her grandmother entered the room and took in Haruhi's appearance. She frowned slightly at the dress Haruhi wore. It was slightly short coming just to her mid-thigh and Haruhi had coupled this with patterned tights and Jimmy choo shoes. Yuki hesitantly asked

"Is that really appropriate for this event?" Haruhi placed her curlers down on her desk and pushed a couple of strands over her shoulders. She looked at her grandmother in the mirror and replied

"I think that it is more than appropriate. Besides it is my decision. What I wear should have no impact on business" Haruhi grabbed a silver clutch bag and walked out of the room with her grandmother.

Kyouya stood with his father and his two brothers greeting the guests that were attending the party. The host club were all here and Tamaki and the others were nearby waiting for Kyouya to stop being formal and for him to mingle with the rest of them. Kyouya started to look around at the current guest and to plot who he should speak to and who he should ignore completely as they will not give him the benefits that he desired. He came to when he heard his father call

"Yuki Fujioka, it has been too long." Kyouya stared at the woman before him and noticed how alike Haruhi's grandmother was to Haruhi, not noticing the figure that was just behind her. His father hugged Yuki. She replied

"Much too long. These must be your sons" Kyouya's father nodded and replied

"Yes and may I ask who you have brought with you?" Yuki moved to one side and said

"May I present my Granddaughter Haruhi" Kyouya stared at Haruhi for a second and watched as his father took her hand and studied her.

"She is as beautiful as you, my dear Yuki" He replied. He looked over at Kyouya and said

"Kyouya escort this young lady please" Kyouya nodded and replied

"As you wish father" Before holding his arm out for Haruhi to hold. She took it hesitantly and Kyouya escorted her into the room.

The rest of the host club were sat around a table. Tamaki was first to spot Kyouya enter the room and nearly shouted to get his attention until he saw who Kyouya was with.

"No way" The rest of the host club heard this and looked towards what Tamaki was staring at. It was Hunny who spoke first

"Aw. Look how pretty Haru-chan looks. Doesn't she look pretty Takashi" Mori replied in his usual manner

"Yeah" The twins stared at Haruhi before asking

"Why is Kyouya with her?"

Haruhi let go of Kyouya's arm as soon as she was out of sight from her grandmother. She turned to Kyouya and said

"You have done what you were asked to do. Now you can leave" Haruhi started to stride off but Kyouya grabbed her arm and held her back. She stared at him.

"Not so fast. My father asked me to escort you and I will do as he says. So just smile and act like you are at least enjoying my company"

Haruhi took Kyouya's arm again. He smirked at her and she shook her head in reply.

"Don't be so up yourself. At least this way I am able to introduce myself to some major companies" Kyouya though about this for a short while before replying

"Agreed. I will introduce you to some company leaders and in return I am able to please my father" Haruhi smiled at this before replying

"It does benefits both of us and of course I know how much you love benefits" Kyouya smirked and lead Haruhi to a couple who were close by.

Yuki and Yoshio stood together watching Haruhi and Kyouya who were speaking to numerous amounts of guests. Yoshio broke the silence first.

"I must say your granddaughter is stunning. She takes after you" Yuki shook her head

"More like her mother. She was stunning too. But I have to say my granddaughter and your son together look perfect" Yoshio nodded in agreement.

"It is someone like your granddaughter that I would like my Kyouya to be with. They would make a fine couple" Yuki looked other at Yoshio.

"It would also benefit both of our companies if they were together" Yoshio and Yuki looked over at them again, both with the same idea forming in their minds.

So that was chapter ten. Much longer than I expected it to be but I just felt like I couldn't stop the chapter halfway through. So for everyone who wanted a longer chapter I hope you feel happy lol. So as ever please review if you enjoyed this chapter and I will try to update again soon
