(The chorus repeats twice here! So I'm going to include it once… Only one more chapter after this!)

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me. Who made you king of anything? So you dare tell me who to be? Who died and made you king of anything?

"Haruhi!" Hikaru urgently got her attention as class ended. She turned, still in her desk to look back at him. She was in a daze, but she figured that it must just be a side effect from kissing boys.

"Woah, what happened to you? You look really flushed…" Kaoru commented. Her hands flew to her face. Damn it, they know! How could they possibly…

"Haruhi." Hikaru clenched his jaw. He was fighting a losing battle with jealousy. Kaoru leaned his elbow on his brother's shoulder, preparing to calm him down, "What was that about?"

"Um," She could tell them now, but… No, it's better to tell everyone at once. "It was… nothing."

Kaoru shot a skeptical look down at Hikaru, who looked back up at him with a matching expression. After a second they looked back at Haruhi. "We don't believe that." They said in unison.

"I don't care if you believe it." She said plainly, examining the buttons on the cuff of her jacket. I just have to keep it to myself until lunch…Oh, yeah! Lunch! "Hey! It's lunchtime! What are we still doing here? Let's go to the courtyard already!" Haruhi bolted out of her chair and shot towards the door. The twins exchanged another look and got up to follow her.

xXXXx

Tamaki had decorated the courtyard beautifully. Flower wreathes and streamers were hanging from every possible place. The table was set for seven. It was the time for celebrating youth and he eagerly awaited the arrival of his friends.

"Tama-chan~" Honey called from the other side of the courtyard. "I brought cake! And Takashi has the picnic basket!"

"Mhm." Mori raised the large basket above his head to show Tamaki.

"Yay! This is going to be great!" He declared.

"Don't get carried away, you idiot." The Shadow King had arrived. "Its just lunch after all, and we'll all be able to do this as often as we can, any way."

"Tell us, Haruhi!" The twins chanted into her ears incessantly. "Tell us now!"

"SHUT UP!" She shouted. "Ugh!"

"Ah, Haruhi!" Tamaki ran to her and picked her up, twirling her in the air.

"Sempai. Put. Me. Down." She angrily scolded. He grudgingly obliged.

"Haruhi," Kyoya nodded at her.

"Kyoya…" she smiled and then remembered. "…Sempai."

"Everyone! Let's eat!" Tamaki exclaimed. The boys filled their plates and began to eat and laugh. Haruhi sat beside Kyoya. He slipped his hand under the table cloth and pressed it into hers. She laced their fingers.

"Excuse me, every one," Haruhi spoke up. "I have an announcement to make."

They all fell silent, staring at her, but she simply looked at her empty plate.

"Kyoya… and I," She hadn't thought about what to say exactly yet. "We're, well, that is to say that…"

"We're together." Kyoya said definitively. "Honey-sempai, could you please pass the onigri?"

"Together?" Honey blinked a few times. "As in…?"

"As in he's my… boyfriend." She blushed, still refusing to make eye contact with anyone athe the table.

"I…" Tamaki sat in shock. "I…" Regaining composure, he quietly cleared his throat, pushed back his chair and walked back into the school. All eyes followed his disappearing outline and it grew quiet. Under the table, Haruhi gripped Kyoya's strong hand tighter.

"I don't approve." Kaoru said solemnly, looking at Kyoya longingly. "I don't think you two are suited for each other."

"Unfortunately, Kaoru," Kyoya said, looking down at Haruhi. "We aren't looking for your approval."

"You… BASTARD!" Hikaru lunged at Kyoya from across the table. Kyoya, surprised, fell on his back and heard all of his breath knocked out of his lungs. His glasses hit the concrete with a series of clacks. Hikaru rolled on top of him. "YOU. LYING. SON. OF A. BITCH!" He punctuated each word with a punch to Kyoya's shocked face.

"Kyoya!" Haruhi screamed. "Hikaru, stop!" She raced to their side, attempting to peel Hikaru away. "Mori-sempai! Help!"

Mori was there in an instant, lifting the still swinging Hikaru away from the Shadow King. He walked a good 10 feet away before placing him back on his feet. Taking his shoulders, Mori looked into Hikaru's eyes, and simply shook his head.

"I expected more." Mori left Hikaru shaking in anger as he returned to where Haruhi was cupping Kyoya's bloodied face in her hands.

"Kyoya?" She felt tears behind her eyes. "Kyoya, open your eyes!" He groaned and tried to open them both, but the right one was thoroughly swollen shut already and the left was just so heavy that the best he could manage was a peek. Haruhi stroked his cheek with her thumb and mustered a weak smile. "It's going to be okay."

"Yeah, Kyoya," Kaoru said behind hot, salty tears. He kneeled to Kyoya's other side. Honey suddenly became concerned that Kaoru would say too much. "Don't worry."

"Haruhi. I'm fine." Kyoya managed to groggily reply. He tried to sit up but found he just couldn't. Kaoru reached around for his glasses; they were cracked.

"Kyoya? I'm sorry. I do approve after all." Kaoru said quietly, placing a hand on his shoulder. He then got to his feet and walked to a still seething Hikaru. "Come on, let's go home for the day."

"Mitskuni." Mori caught his cousin staring at the couple. "Let's go find Tamaki."

"Um, right…" Honey grabbed Mori's hand, and the two went back into the school.

And then there were two.

"Kyoya?" She pulled his head onto her lap. He rolled towards her. "I'm sorry."

"What did you do? I'm pretty sure that Hikaru was the one that attacked me." He mumbled. That must have hurt a lot for him to be in so much pain… but for some reason his biting bluntness is still fine…

"You warned me. You were right, but I insisted." She tucked his hair behind his ear. "I'm sorry. We shouldn't have told them… Especially not Hikaru. I've been dense, I know that now."

"Yes, you have been." He answered plainly, eyes still shut, but now he was comfortable. Her lap was warm and her thin fingers running through his hair felt heavenly.

"He still loves me, huh? I guess I've been insensitive to his feelings, haven't I? I don't know, I guess I just always thought that if a person was rejected, they gave up, no matter what."

"That's naive."

"To be totally honest, that's part of the reason I didn't reject you. I didn't want you to give up on me. I know that I'm not the best person out there, and I know that your family won't approve of me, but I couldn't bear it if you went away."

"Screw my family." His heavy eyelids stayed shut and he felt himself drifting into sleep. She felt him go limp.

"Kyoya! In times like these, you can't sleep!" She patted his face, and tried to get him to his feet, but he was too heavy for her to lift. "It could be a concussion! You could be seriously hurt! Let's go to the infirmary!"

"I'm too tired, Haruhi."

"Kyoya!" What will wake him up? What can I… I know!

She took a deep breath and mashed her lips against his. His hands flew to the back of her neck, as he kissed her back with fervent passion. Well, as much as he could muster. She tried to stand up and he followed. She ran her hands up to his chest, and broke away.

"Are you awake, now?"

"I don't know… Better try again to make sure…" He weakly smiled. Haruhi's face turned bright red. Grabbing his hand she raced back towards the building, leaving a mess from the Host Club Lunch that hadn't gone any where near as planned.

When they reached the infirmary, Kyoya once again insisted that he was fine.

"No. You're not, mister." She said crossly. "I'll wait out here until you're cleared to go back to class."

A.N.: Wow, I'm on a roll! Okay, so the next chapter is it. The end… All the I's will be dotted, all the T's will be crossed and the grand finale will take center stage …*sniff*… It's almost over! In any case I really want to keep writing more! And so far, I've only been writing KyoyaxHaruhi (They're totally my favorite…) but I'll happily take requests for pairings.
