And we're back! I'm working on the next chapter as we speak. You can thank the Professor Layton soundtracks for keeping me motivated.

Again I own nothing except the ideas in these chapters. Credit is given entirely to Bisco Hatori.

Enjoy the chapter!

"Why are you calling right now? You're seriously calling?"

"Yes and…good evening Tamaki."

"Mother how are you? Is Haruhi still there with you?"

"Yes why do you ask?"

"Oh! Let me talk to our daughter!"

Kyouya rolled his eyes and handed Haruhi the phone. It annoyed him that Tamaki still called Haruhi his daughter but it helped him cope with accepting his & Haruhi's relationship.

"Yes Kyouya has er…something to tell you about our trip.

She thrusted the phone back in his hand & attempted to leave the couch. Kyouya caught her wrist because if he had to suffer due to Tamaki's impending fit so did she.

"Tamaki, I'm not going to delay the news-Haruhi & I are not going on the trip."

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!"

"Tamaki I…"

"Let me talk to her."

He handed the phone back to a reluctant Haruhi.

"Tamaki-senpai, please don't panic or call an emergency meeting."

"I'm coming over there! Mommy is being mean and not letting you go on our trip."

"Tamaki-senpai you don't need to come over here!"

"But daughter!"

"Tamaki-senpai, this was all my idea. Kyouya had something planned for us but that all changed when you announced the trip."

"Haruhi, I'd really love for you to go on this trip."

"Tamaki-senpai, I just can't, I'm sorry. We're not hosting and I'd rather spend my break with just Kyouya."

She handed the phone back to Kyouya.

"Kyouya! Please help me convince her to come."

"Tamaki I am with Haruhi on this one. We called to inform you not to seek your permission. As president you will inform the others the reason we will not be joining you. Oh and Tamaki don't even think about canceling the trip and surprising Haruhi and I. Good night and enjoy your trip."

He hung up the phone and realized Haruhi had left the room. With a sigh he stood up to go find her.

Meanwhile...

The sound of his cell phone ringing from the other room caught Mori's attention. He saw it was Tamaki and knew it was probably a panicked Tamaki calling in search of Haruhi.

"Ah."

"Mori-senpai, Haruhi and Kyouya will not be joining us tomorrow."

"Interesting."

"Is Hani-senpai there?"

"No."

"Okay thank you."

"Eh why aren't they coming," asked a curious Hani.

"Haruhi said Kyouya had something planned but our trip had canceled it so she suggested that they both skip the trip."

"Well that was nice of him to plan something for her! Tama-chan are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm just a little tired. Goodbye Hani-senpai. I'll see you in the morning."

"Tono, I'm not sure how you are okay with this," gritted a very irritated Hikaru.

"Hikaru calm down. We're still going on our trip. Just because Kyouya and Haruhi are not going doesn't mean we cancel it."

"Tono forget the trip! We should plan an intervention of sort!"

"Hikaru, Kyouya already warned me not to have us do any planning of any kind.

"Screw that!"

"Hikaru shut up!"

"Kaoru!"

"Stop trying to ruin her happiness & the club! You're still mad because she isn't talking to you but it's your fault! If you would learn to think before you speak you wouldn't be in this predicament. Did the whole Arai thing teach you nothing?"

Hikaru said nothing for several moments before finally saying,

"Tono we will see you in the morning. I think this trip will be good for all of us."

He hung up the phone and Kaoru watched his brother head for their room. Just as he reached the door he stopped and turned to face him.

"Thanks."

And with that he went in and shut the door.

'Oh Hikaru…'thought Kaoru.
