A/N: I am like so Nervous! It is cramming time! (For me… the end of the year of exam is starting…nice idea to give them the end of year exams in the beginning of March…what a great school system we have…)I promised you all I would finish at the end of February latest March 1st. I will fulfill my promise! To do that I am made this super, extraordinary, chapter! I'm excited I got all of the last chapter drama through now I get to the good part.(for me… again…) For all of you out there wondering why they stopped looking for Haruhi in the last chapter it was because, Haruhi was well in the eyes of the other captive Sakuya. She said that the kidnappers took Haruhi away since they had left her in the House of Mirrors. If that were true that means they would have kept looking taking up valuable time so they let it in the hands of Kyouya's private police. (BTW, I never wrote that in the other.) So anyhow….
Let us move on!
..X.x.X.
The Wednesday (two days) before the play…
It has been a long week so far… So many things happened that I could not keep up with right now. First, I am officially now Saku-chan's boyfriend. Its not that she is not pretty it is just that well…I have someone else in mind right now. Haru-chan still found by Kyou-chan's secret police, I am worried and I can see everyone else is too. If we cannot find Haru-chan today, tomorrow, or possibly Friday, we will have to cancel the play. That's something I have been trying to ignore since Monday. Thirdly, I am alone, until Takashi returns from his aunt's wedding. So now, I am sitting here moping eating cake. Because everything just went wrong and now I am alone, (at least I have Usa-chan.) It was already after school and I was still in the Host clubroom. Everyone else was here discussing about something. I could here Tama-chan in the background saying that he will scour the commoner's department store for her (Haruhi). I am just listening as a bystander.
"Honey…?" I looked up to see Saku-chan look at me. I gave her a small smile. She pouted. "What are you doing here, by yourself?" she asked. She shifted herself on to the seat in front of me and started to dig on to some cake. I shrugged casually.
"No peculiar reason…, is there something wrong?" I finished another slice of Napoleon cake.
"No, just going to say that I'll be leaving now, I have some work to do when I get home." she stood from her chair came kissed my forehead and left quietly. I didn't look back as she did. I took another slice cake this time strawberry. This is so depressing, I want the world could be just as sad as me right now.
Omniscient thoughts.
"Have yo seen Honey's behavior lately?" Kaoru worriedly asked, as they were never the less hiding behind the sofa.
"Yeah, it's like he hates the world or something, Sakuya went up to him to tell him that she's leaving and he didn't even look back to see her off." Kaoru implied to his brother's remark.
""We have to take this matter into our hands. But first, we need to know why he's acting like this." Tamaki thought of a plan by now.
"I think I have the cause to all this…" The twins started but Tamaki said something before they could continue.
"So you're saying he's like this because Haruhi is gone?"
"No but, maybe. I was going to say he's like this because he doesn't like Sakuya very well." Kaoru replied.
"I don't really like her." Hikaru watched Honey with sympathy.
"Me either."
"So that means Sakuya is causing problems for Honey. If she's spreading pain to the Host Club members she doesn't belong here." Tamaki whispered heroically. After that, they all planned an idea of how to get rid off the newest rat to present themselves to the Host Club.
..X.x.X..
I was in my limousine, riding home. I didn't feel like staying at school any longer. We were passing by the commoner streets. There was too much traffic downtown. I was staring blankly out the window. We passed by the park near Haruhi's house which made me feel even worse than before. I do not want to think about her anymore it makes me feel uncomfortable. I cannot stop thinking about her! Gosh, I need to sort out my thoughts somehow. I saw the swings in the park and the slide and all the other things that distract younger children.
"Stop!" I shouted to the driver. He halted the limo and looked at me astoundingly at me through one of the mirrors. "I'm going to stay here for a while." I pointed over to the park. He raised an eyebrow.
"What do I tell your parents?" I listened to his low confused voice.
"Tell them I'll call when I want go home." I was already out the limo when I answered him. He was about to ask again when he just nodded and left. There wasn't anyone here whatsoever. I rather liked it better this way. I carried my backpack slung over shoulder. I let go of it and started to ride the swings. I felt content being here alone so that I could think in the swinging motion. I smiled widely at the thought of it.
..X.x.X.
It was now sunset. I had to get home soon. After I had ridden the swings earlier, today I was on them again after I got bored of the monkey bars, slide, tubes, craters, and the sandbox. I was tired and swung very slowly and didn't get very high, until now which I was just being rocked gently. I looked over to the road, I was about to take out my cell phone when my body just froze completely. I dropped Usa-chan.
"Honey-senpai?" Came the ever so alluring voice, I knew. Haru-chan's. My head slowly whipped itself to the direction I was sitting. There in front of me was Haru-chan. Everything seemed to stop for me. These last few seconds turned to long hours. I rubbed eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Even then, when I looked forward Haru-chan was there. She looked at me with worried eyes. My vision started to water. That's when I felt the urge to do something. I leaped off the swings and pulled Haru-chan into a tight hug. My force caused her to fall, but it did not seem like she cared, she returned my hug.
"Haru-chan… where have you been?" I asked after I let go to look at her.
"St. Lobelia…"she trailed off muttering about something.
"St. Lobelia…?" was my response to this. Haru-chan has been at St. Lobelia all this time. She moved around to sit in a more comfortable position.
"On Saturday, It was that group of girls, the Zuka Club I think the one led by Benibara." I nodded knowing whom she was talking about. "The ones who kidnapped me."
"Why?" I asked clearly not understanding.
"Well…I've been staying and going to school at St. Lobelia for the last few days. Benibara forced me to stay there. So today I was finally able to leave today and stay at my house. I finished doing some groceries." she simply said looking at something other than me, clutching the bags of food. It felt uncomfortable, me not being able to see her face. I gave a yawn aloud. Haruhi looked in my direction.
"Sleepy? If you want you can stay over at my house for a while if you want." she took sympathy.
"Don't worry about that, Haru-chan. I'm going to call home so they can pick me up."
"Would you at least call for it at my house?"
"Sure!" I gave a small smile. Her face brightened. We stood up and started to walk over to Haru-chan's house. I held on to Haru-chan's left hand, her grip tightened on mine.
..X.x.X..
We decided to chat for a while, currently I'm wearing a large T-shirt and shorts because Haru-chan disapproved of me wearing the school uniform. I was sitting in front of Haru-chan as she talked about what it was like to go to school at St. Lobelia. I was listening carefully at first but now… I can't concentrate. The sleep is getting to me. I sighed and gave aloud another sleepy yawn. Haru-chan stopped.
"Honey-senpai are you tired?" I rubbed my eyes. That signaled that I was sleepy.
"I guess I'll call now to leave." I was about to start dialing when she stopped me. I looked surprised.
"You can stay here, my dad wouldn't mind it." she paused acting frantically. She had a light red blush. "That is if you want…y-you don't have to I-I mean you can stay…you know what forget what I said earlier." she stopped and looked at the ceiling instead.
"I guess that would be alright." I smiled secretly blushing. It does sound weird to offer a guy to stay at your house for the night. Especially if you're a girl. She nodded and stood that indicated that I was to follow her. I did so. We reached her room. Haru-chan moved some things around and made a large amount of space. She left the room for a minute or so and returned with two large things that looked like mats, but were obviously a type of easy storage bed sort-of-thing. She placed some covers and they were fit. She looked at my expression. I gave a tired smile. She thought for a moment and smiled once more.
Haru-chan was asleep already. I stared at her trying not let the sleep get to me. I was surely tired and couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. I wish every night could be like this. I could see Haru-chan's kawaii face as she drifts to sleep. Too bad, I know my wish won't come true.

Someone else's thoughts
Everything is going wrong! Benibara said it would've been impossible for 'her' to escape form St. Lobelia without the Zuka Club knowing. Argghh! Not even my boyfriend can come in my need of comfort in distress! This is so uncool! He won't pick up his phone at all. I think it's that girl's fault. She twisted his mind and now all he thinks about is 'her'. Now I'm just going to need to get the Host Club tomorrow into letting me perform Psyche's part, before that show-off loser Haruhi comes back to Ouran. My phone started to ring.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Erm…Sakuya I don't it's a good time to tell you but, that boyfriend of yours hasn't reported or even is at his house right now."
"What in the world, do you mean Benibara?!" I spat. Gah! I can't believe I'm cousins with that…Uggh!
"He's not there!" After she said those words I had a weird feeling of whose to fault in this. I sighed. I still can't believe she's this persistent.
"Don't worry about me Benibara. I think I know where he is."
"You do? Where?"
"At the Fujioka's." I could practically hear her smirk form across the telephone.
"What can I do?"
"Nothing, just make sure you keep an eye on Haruhi." with that I hung up. This little game is getting interesting. I was sat the very edge of the climax point, overseeing my doubts conquering them.
