Hey everyone, sadly this is the second to last chapter and this story is coming to an end. This chapter was inspired by 'White wedding' and 'Don't stop believing' so I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 24

The church was in motion as florists bustled about laying and reorganising flowers. Yoshio stood in the middle of it all, smiling proudly as he watched the hustle. His smile slowly faded as he watched Yuki walk towards him. He made no move to walk towards her, instead letting her come to him. Yuki stood beside him and was silent until he spoke

"What can I do for you, Yuki?" She shook her head as she replied

"Absolutely nothing. I just came to see how the preparations were going" Yuki smiled slowly

"As you can see, everything here is going according to plan. As for your granddaughter, will she still be marrying today?" Yuki looked at him sharply before replying

"She is my granddaughter, so at least try to be civil and yes, she is still attending"

Haruhi looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Her hair and make- up had already been done. Her hair had been curled and styled into an intricate bun, with a few wisps trailing down her back. A small tiara, that her grandmother had insisted had to be worn, was displayed on the top of her head, pressed against the bun. Her make-up was subtly done so that she looked natural but still flawless in her appearance. An older maid scurried in, to help her tie the corset's backing together. Haruhi looked down at the maid and saw that she was married.

"How did you feel when you got married" The maid looked at her and smiled broadly before putting down the corset strings and saying proudly

"Miss Haruhi, I felt proud and in a way complete. My husband is my soul mate" The maid went back to tying up the corset. When it was finally done, the maid smiled at her once more before saying

"You will be very happy with him, Miss Haruhi. If he is the one who completes you, you will be happy" The maid left the room and Haruhi was, once more, alone. Sighing she looked around the room before her eyes caught a flash of white paper on the ground. Haruhi made her way over to it and unfolded it. Sighing she realised that it was just a drawing of the dress she had made for the black and white ball. She went to throw it in the bin, but stopped as she saw writing on the other side. She read the first couple of lines before realising that it was about Tamaki's family from when she had the detective research them. As she read some more her eyes widened before she finally said

"No fucking way!"

Tamaki Suoh was getting dressed in the tuxedo that his father had quickly ordered for him. Tamaki smiled at himself in the mirror. He was honoured to be the best man at Kyouya's wedding. Now that he knew Kyouya truly loved Haruhi, Tamaki felt good enough to be able to attend the marriage and fulfil his promise at being best man. His door swung open and a maid appeared with Kyouya standing next to her. Kyouya entered the room and went to stand next to his best friend. Tamaki finally broke the silence after a while

"So today's the big day. Did you tell her?" Kyouya smiled faintly

"Yes, I did" Tamaki stared at him before saying

"And?" Kyouya stared at him for a second

"She said she loved me too, you idiot! Do you really think that we would be getting married if we didn't" Tamaki stared at his friend before laughing. Neither of them noticed the doorbell ring. A maid of Tamaki's opened the door and saw the elderly maid of the Fujioka household standing on the doorstep. The maid held out a letter whilst saying

"Miss Fujioka wants you to deliver this to Tamaki Suoh but only after the wedding" The other maid nodded in agreement and slipped the letter into the front of her apron before closing the door.

All of the host club were present at the church, and were greeting people at the door. Yoshio was watching his son and his friends and was beaming. He turned and went to take his seat at the front of the church. Yuki watched him before taking her own seat next to Ranka. People began to settle into their seats and Tamaki and Kyouya began to take their places at the front of the church.

Whilst this was happening Haruhi was sat in the car outside. She had refused to let her father walk her up the aisle. Haruhi stared at the church not moving. The driver turned round to look at her.

"Miss Haruhi?" She turned to look at him before smiling and replying

"Could you please give this to Kyouya for me?" The driver took the letter that was in her outstretched hand and saying

"But Miss Haruhi, you will be seeing him in a couple of minutes. Why don't you give it to him yourself?" She smiled again to herself before replying

"I have to do this for myself" She opened the car door and got out. Haruhi took one last look at the church before saying

"I'm sorry Kyouya. I can't do this" She turned away and started to run. The driver watched as she ran and smiled softly too.

Kyouya stood waiting at the front of the church when the door opened and Haruhi's driver made his way up the aisle and passed the letter to Kyouya. He unfolded it and read it quickly

Kyouya, I will always love you but I can't go through with this. I need my own space and my own life and getting married won't help me. I don't expect you to wait for me but you will always be in my heart.

Kyouya smiled softly and folded the note before walking down the aisle alone causing mumbles of alarm to go through the church.

Haruhi folded the wedding dress away and picked up the suitcase she had packed. She looked at the desk and picked up the credit card that she had acquired off Brooke, months ago, smiling she slipped it into her pocket and walked out of her room.
