Chapter Seven: A best friend and a huge surprise
Recap: Haruhi came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder, when she turned around she squealed and hugged Haruhi tightly. Haruhi laughed and hugged her back just as tight and said, "Well hello to you to Sarah."
Sarah jumped up and down, with Haruhi still in her arms, in excitement. She couldn't believe her best friend was here after so long of being apart. When she stopped jumping she pulled back, but still kept her arms around Haruhi, and looked her up and down and said in her deep southern accent, "Darlin' you changed a lot since the last time I saw you. You cut your hair, standing more like a dude, then a girl. Darlin', this is going to be a be-a-utiful friendship from now on if you stay like this." She laughed and Haruhi smiled at her and asked, "Oh, it's wasn't be-a-utiful friendship before?" Sarah punched her in the shoulder playfully and put her hands on her hips and said with a smirk, "Oh, it was but also a little boring when you wore dresses instead of ripped jeans and looses T-shirts, but hey we all ain't perfect why should you be?" Haruhi shrugged and the said, "Now let me look at you twirl slowly for me would ya'." Sarah did as she was asked and Haruhi took look in. Her really really long brown hair with the purple and red highlights, her 'white as a ghost' type skin and when Haruhi told her to stop in front of her she took in her warm hazel eyes. "You haven't changed a bit except for the highlights." Haruhi told her and Sarah laughed while saying, "Yeah, I wanted a little change to express myself and highlights come out of your hair where as tattoo's don't come off your skim without surgery." Haruhi chuckled and then looked at her watch and sighed. "I wish I had more time to spend with you, but I got to go and meet the people I came here with back at my truck. If I don't show up in 10 minutes they're going to freak out." Sarah looked disappointed that her friend had to go so soon, but then got a smidge happier as she said, "Ok no problem, let me walk with you back to your truck and I'll give you my number and we can meet up on the days your free. How about that, sound good?" Haruhi beamed and nodded then they both walked back to the truck. All the way there talked and catched up on stuff they missed in each others lives in over 2 years. Right when Haruhi got to the part about the host club they had reached the truck and saw the other members standing around talking about what they saw in the market area. Sarah looked at them and stopped walking and breathing all together when she saw Kyoya. He looked up at her and did the same as her and they both stared in shock at one another. Haruhi asked Sarah what the problem was just as Tamaki was doing the same for Kyoya. When Sarah came out of her shock her eyes welled up in tears and she smiled a shaking smile at Kyoya, who was also coming out of his shock and smiled a small smile at her. Sarah started to walk to him only to burst into a full on run and jump into his arms hugging him so tight that she feared if she let him go he would disappear. Kyoya held her tightly to him and whispered her name in her ear over and over, while the host club and Haruhi were looking at the couple in confusion. Then Haruhi broke the silence by asking, "Sarah, how do you know Kyoya-sempai?" Sarah pulled back and Haruhi saw tear tracks and a smile on her face, and as Sarah went to answer Kyoya stepped in and explained, "My family has a hospital here and when my father came up here for business one time a couple years ago I came along with him to see the USA and through out my time here I met Sarah and we became friends, then a couple and then lovers." Sarah looked up at him and smiled and then buried her head into his chest just as he kissed the top of her head. The host club and Haruhi were in shock to see him show affection for her in public. Haruhi then asked, "Sarah why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?"
