As soon as she made it safely to the other room she let the breath she had been holding out. She listened for a moment because she was sure that Kyouya would be following her and wanting a reason behind her actions. When she didn't hear any footsteps she slowly turned around to find no one behind her. She slowly slid into the chair she was standing in front of. 'What was I thinking,' was the only thought that kept running through her head. She glanced outside the window trying to clear her thoughts for a moment. It was then that she noticed that the sun had disappeared some grey clouds. 'It better not be about to storm,' she thought. She got up and began walking back to the other room where she assumed Kyouya still was but stopped herself mid-way. 'First I need to figure out why I just kissed him before I even attempt to have a conversation with him,' she thought. She turned around again to make sure that he hadn't just suddenly appeared. He had a way of doing that so quietly that it kind of freaked her out a little. She thought over her actions again and again and could not come up with a conclusion. 'Of all the people to kiss like that why was it my luck to do that to Kyouya,' she thought. She glanced out the window and noticed that the clouds had moved on the sun was out again. She walked out of the room in search of Kyouya and at first glance she couldn't find him but then she went back to the room she had left previously and found him still sitting on the floor looking stunned. She started to walk into the room but stopped when she heard him softly speaking to himself. She quickly moved back into the hallway hoping that he hadn't seen her in the doorway and strained to hear what he was saying. At first she couldn't make out anything but then his voice became a little louder and it was then that she realized that he still thought he was alone and he too was trying to figure something out.

"What was that about? There couldn't have been any meaning behind that kiss was there," he said. "Haruhi couldn't possibly have a thing for me could she? Why am I so damn confused about everything right now? I need to figure this all out soon, its distracting and becoming annoying. Besides there is no merit behind any of this is there? And what exactly is this odd sensation I keep having when she is around me? Is it possible that this is what love is? Impossible! I couldn't be falling in love with her…or could I? This is a fine mess I've got myself into," he whispered. He shook his head hoping to clear his thoughts. A slight creak from the hallway stopped him from voicing his thoughts aloud. He started to get up but his cell phone going off distracted him.

"Hello?"

"KYOUYA," a very familiar and annoying voice shouted into his ear.

He stopped a sigh of frustration from escaping his lips and calmly replied,

"Yes Tamaki?"

"Is the meeting over now," he asked.

"Why do you ask," he said with a slight hesitation. He had a feeling that Tamaki was planning on coming over.

"Well you told me not to distract you any further until the meeting was over. It's been two hours since my last call and I was sure that the meeting was over so I called first before barging in and getting yelled at by Mother," he said.

Kyouya tried to think fast of a reason to keep Tamaki away a little longer because the last thing he needed was that idiot coming over and making things more complicated.

"Kyouya are you still there," Tamaki asked.

"Ah yes well I just checking the agenda I had set for this meeting and we still have a couple more points to hit," he said quickly.

"I will check in again later then," Tamaki said half disappointed.

"Very well then," Kyouya replied.

"Kyouya before you hang up I just have one more question," Tamaki said quickly hoping that Kyouya hadn't hung up yet.

"Yes," he said.

"What exactly did you mean earlier when you told me to rethink my assumptions? Is there something you are hiding from me," he asked.

For a moment Kyouya could not answer. He only vaguely remembered telling Tamaki that and he knew that was due to that ever increasingly irritating feeling that was making its presence known more and more lately. He thought over his response and then when he did respond he surprised himself with it.

"I meant exactly what I said. Your assumption that I am just Kyouya is not necessarily a wise assumption to make. Did it ever occur to you that I may have an interest in Haruhi and not a financial one either but in another way? Just remember that."

Before Tamaki could say anymore he hung up on him once again. He stared out the window again and thought, 'Just great now I gave him a reason to rush over here.' He stood up and walked over to the door. As he started to walk out the door he ran right into Haruhi. He looked at her for a moment in surprise before he asked,

"Haruhi how long have you been standing here?"

The truth was that she had been standing outside the door during most of his conversation with Tamaki. She had made it halfway down the hall when she heard his cell phone rang. Curiosity got the better of her and she quietly made her way back to the room. At first she couldn't tell who he was talking to but the mentioning of a so-called-agenda told her exactly who it was. She started to leave again when she thought the call was nearing the end, but the mentioning of an assumption piqued her curiosity. The rest of the conversation surprised her and even now she was still surprised. All she could do was stand there and stare at him.

"Haruhi can you please tell me how long," he asked.

She kept standing there with the last two sentences swirling around her mind. As she stared at Kyouya she kept asking herself, 'Did he really mean what he said?' His voice saying her name broke her from her thoughts.

"For awhile Kyouya-senpai," she replied.

He wasn't sure if he should be panicked about that or glad. He stared at her for a moment trying to decide if he really did care about her in more than in just a brotherly-sense. It then occurred to him that he had not cared about her in that way for quite some time and a smile began to appear on his face. Haruhi noticed this and was unsure of what this type of response would lead to. It was not his devious I've-got-something-up-my-sleeve-smile that usually appears this smile was different, but she wasn't sure in what way.

"Kyouya-senpai," she asked.

He looked at her for a moment and before he could stop himself he leaned down and brushed his lips against her cheek barely grazing a corner of her lip at the same time. When he straightened himself back up the look on Haruhi's face was priceless. Haruhi could not think. Her mind was a total blank for she could not believe what had just happened had happened. She looked up at him and detected that flicker in his eyes again. It was then that she realized what the flicker signified. He was honestly attracted to her and she did not know what to think of this. But then one thought that occurred to her was, 'Do I feel the same way?' She thought it over for a moment, glanced up at him and saw that he was waiting for a response of some sort to happen and that his face had slight apprehension to it. She took a step closer to him and started to give him a reply when she thought that a verbal answer would not be the best route to go. Instead she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him in a little more surprising him. Although he was caught off guard by this sudden gesture he was not upset by it either. He in turn wrapped his arms around her and waited for her to make the next move. Before she could make it her cell phone went off.

"Are you going to get that," he whispered afraid that if he spoke too loud all of this would stop.

She shook her head and locked her eyes with his. She started to lean up to give him another kiss on the cheek when her cell phone went off again. She stopped and started to reach for the phone but Kyouya beat her to it and tossed it to the side. She smiled at him and started to laugh. He smiled back at her and pulled her a little closer hoping that this would give her the hint that he was still awaiting her answer. She looked up at him again and started to lean upwards again and a part of Kyouya was caught off guard by what her response was going to be, but at the same time it thrilled it him. As she got closer he started to lean in to close the gap. Her cell phone went off again but neither one of them heard it. As he sealed the distance between them Haruhi was shocked by what she felt. Just as she was beginning to respond to the kiss a voice interrupted the moment.

Thank you to those following this and also to those of you who have reviewed. I'm not sure when the next update will be seeing that I start my summer class tomorrow. After I see the syllabus I'll be able to determine how much free time I will have to work on this. I have a few more ideas so don't worry this is nowhere near complete. =)
