Chapter 16: The Photo Shoot Part 2

It is not the shortest kiss in the world, but it was also not the longest either. Kyoya pulls away from the kiss just a moment after Haruhi leaned into it. She smiles up at him, happy that they have finally came out to the rest of the host club.

Kyoya lifts his gave up from Haruhi, to the club members. Landing his eyes onto Hikaru, smirking at his junior. Kyoya has won. They all know that Haruhi is his now.

"NO! Mother has violated my precious daughter! How could you?" Tamaki runs up to Haruhi. Dropping down onto his knees and holding onto the hem of her skirt, he looks up to his little princess with pleading eyes. "Please Haruhi, dear, my Precious Daughter. Please tell Daddy that it isn't true!" he whines, begging her to tell him that it's a lie.

"Sorry Tamaki, but it is," is Haruhi's answer to the drama queen-like host king.

"NO!" Tamaki crawls to the corner. He rocks back and forth in fetal position, sucking on his thumb with wide eyes. It looks as though he is about to cry, but he doesn't.

Meanwhile, Hikaru has been scowling at Kyoya, clenching and unclenching his fists.

Kaoru tries to calm Hikaru down. "Hika, please calm down. If you explode at them then she might not forgive us," Kaoru whispers into his brother's ear, squeezing his shoulder to try to hold him back.

But anybody who really knows Hikaru Hitachiin, know that his temper can get in the way of his brother's attempt to calm him down. "How can you, Haruhi?" Hikaru shrugs off his brother's hand and storms up to the girl in question. Kaoru sighs in defeat, shaking his head. "How... How can you be with someone like Kyoya? He is The Shadow King. He does not care for anybody but himself!" Hikaru pauses, breathing heavily. In a calm, broken, and hurt voice he cares on to say, "I thought you were better than this." He then turns on his heel and calmly stalks out of the room.

"Hikaru," Haruhi calls out, but the boy does not acknowlege her pleading cry.

Kaoru worriedly looks back and forth from Haruhi to his brother's retreating form, and back to Haruhi. "Our mother is right through that door, she should be ready whenever you are. I'll be right back," he races off to check up and comfort Hikaru.

"I... I don't understand. I didn't know he would get so upset. I didn't mean to hurt him or anything. Maybe I should go talk to him," Haruhi stutters, confused at what had just happened. Wondering why Hikaru had bursted at the seams like that, it makes no sense to her at all. Like, how dense could she be? It is quite obvious that Hikaru has feelings for her, especially with that accident that had happened. But she still hasn't quite caught on to it yet.

Kyoya looks down at his girlfriend. She looks as though she is abought to cry. He pulls her into a warm tight hug. "We should just let him have his space to calm down for now. He's not in his right mind at the moment," Kyoya replies. "It will all be all right. Now, Mrs. Hitachiin is waiting for you."

"Right, I shouldn't keep her waiting," Haruhi gives him a shaky smile, and a quick peck on the cheek.

"Come on Hika, we should go apologize,"Kaoru says gently, patting his brother's back.

Hikaru rolls his face out of his pillow. "But why, why would she choose Him instead of me," he questions, his voice cracking.

"She's been engaged to him since she has been about seven. They built bonds. There is nothing that anyone could have done to change that," Kaoru sadly sighs. He hates seeing his brother this way, it pains him. "Come on, we should try to salvage whatever friendship we can."

"Fine," Hikaru grumbles, rolling out of his bed.

When the twins arrive back to the dressing rooms, they find Haruhi in a lovely shimmering black fitting dress that falls mid thigh. They can't help but gawk at her. Haruhi has a bit more curves than she leads on.

Hikaru looks doen to the ground, but not before taking a mental picture of her. He slowly makes his way up to Haruhi. He drags his eyes to meet hers. Hikaru rubs the back of his neck. "I'm sorry. Iwas out of line," he then drops his eyes back to the ground.

To Hikaru's surprise, haruhi wraps her arms around him to give him a hug. "Thanks," she whispers into his chest, smiling.

"How about Hikaru and I take you out to dinner tomorrow as a thank you, then for ice cream as an apology?" Kaoru adds, his grin a bit too mischievious, but is taken as normalicy.

"That sounds delicious!" Haruhi agrees. "Wait, it just can't be anything too pricy," she adds as an after thought.

Haruhi turns towards the corner, where Tamaki has been sulking all along. "Come on Tamaki, cheer up. I'll make you some commoners' coffee if you'd like," she offers.

Tamaki perks up. He dashes over to Haruhi. "Really? You'll do that for me?" he questionsm hopeful.

"Of course," she replies.

"Yay! My daughter loves her Poppy," Tamaki exclaims.

"It looks like everything will work out, right Takashi," Honey asks his cousin from his perch on his shoulders.

"Yeah," Mori replies.

"Well, now that the photo shoot is finished, I think it's time that I escort Haruhi home," Kyoya says, fixing his glasses, pushing them up higher onto his nose to catch the glare from the light. Something about his aura just screams dark, gloomy, and stormy. But he is hiding it well from the others, mostly because they are so oblivious.

"Right. I'll go get changed, and I'll meet you at the car," Haruhi answers, happy that everything is sorting out to how it should be. She is not expecting the big bang that will boom in her face.

Haruhi bounces down the steps of the Hitachiin manor, and jumps in to the waiting limo. "Alrighty, let's go."

The car ride to Haruhi's apartment it silent. Just as the driver parks, Kyoya breaks the silence. "I don't want you to see the Hitachiin twins anymore."
