In no WAY SHAPE OR FORM am i complaining, but reviews make me happy and all i ask is that you leave one. They dont have to be super long or eloquent or any thing(God knows im not half the time), but when i see how many hits ive gotten compared to the number of reviews, it kinda puts me down a little. Even a 'that was cool" or 'that was weird" will make me happy, just review!XD.

By the way i have officially decided that will be kyoharu, so sorry if you dont like.(Honest)

Soundtrack for this chapter: Ikimino Gakari- blue bird & UVERworld- Colors of the heart

On with tha sto-ray!

" Kyoya! I cant find haruhi anywhere!" Tamaki yelled as he sped into the room, frantically looking at the rest of the host club members as he raced around in confusion "I stopped by her class to pick her up on my way here but even though i searched and searched and waited and waited, SHE WASNT THERE!"

"Tamaki calm down. As you can see everybody else is dressed and ready for tonight's party, and it would appear that you are the only one not ready," Kyoya said sighing as he walked past tamaki, dressed impeccably in a black James-bond-esque tuxedo, his usual glasses gone due to an unfortunate incident between tamaki, himself and a vacuum cleaner(1) earlier that day.

"Yeah Tono, hurry up." Kaoru said impatiently as he walked by with a rack of rejected dresses, he and his brother both wearing identical tuxedos, the red shirts underneath only serving adding to their devilish look.

"We dont want everyone barging in here with you looking like that." Hikaru said with distaste as he straightened his tie, tamaki's disheveled appearance obviously concerning him.

"It would be wise to get dressed." Mori said calmly as hunny nodded, both wearing suits similar to the twins, with the exception of their green and yellow shirts.

"Besides, Haruhi's already ready" Hikaru said smirking

"THEN WHERE IS SHE!!?!?" tamaki yelled as he grabbed hikaru by the lapel of his coat, hands immediately releasing him as hikaru scowled at the close proximity of their faces.

"Shortly after she changed, Haruhi left for her room to retrieve a necklace that she thought would go well with her dress, though she should be back vefore the party begins. Now would you pleaseget dressed?" Kyoya said impatiently as he glared at Tamaki.

Tamaki nodded and gulped.

Haruhi cursed as she pushed away one of the long tendrils of hair that framed her face, ornate twin buns heavy on her head as she rummaged through her dresser, her hands rapidly searching for something. Smiling as she found what she was looking for, she lifted the heavy the top of the heavy antique trunk that the headmaster told her contained all of the heirlooms she was entrusted to at birth, and what remained of her mothers through the mass of documents, books, and rings, she tied the small silk choker around her neck, the blue sapphire lotus complementing the bluish tint of her black dress. Shoving the trunk back inside her closet carefully, she took one last look at the picture of her mother and father, that sat on her dresser before shutting the door.

"Father.....Mother....give me strength"

By the time she returned to the host club, the party was in full swing, and haruhi mentally cursed as she slipped in through the back door, hoping that none of the host club members had noticed her absence. Feeling eyes on her as she moved through the throngs of conversing purebloods and aristocrats, politely declining offers to join multiple alliances(Even though she had been somehow convinced/blackmailed/ forced to join the host club hours before), she moved to stand next to a solitary kyoya grateful for a familiar face

"So' she said calmly as he handed her a flute of champagne(2) what have i missed?"

"Not much" he replied as his eyes scanned the room disinterestedly, hand automatically reaching inside his coat for a blood tablet, only to be met with air.''just the usual fawning over Tamaki and the twins by our regular customers, and a few pointless conversations."

"Well thats good" she said as she handed him a blood tablet, still surprised that she had actually acquired a taste for blood at all, much less the constant thirst for it. "So i can assume nothing too important happened while i was away?" she asked as she sipped the drink, golden champagne taking on a pinkish hue.

"Nothing. Unless you count Tamaki frantically looking for you as something valid" he drawled languidly, sarcasm laden in his voice.

Half- succeeding at masking a giggle(She briefly wondered what the hell had come over her) she turned to look at kyoya, his usually calculating eyes unfocused and faraway.

"Whatcha thinking about?" she bluntly, her curiosity overriding her better judgement.

"Excuse me?" kyoya said slightly surprised at how easily she as the question

"I said, What are you thinking about" she articulated slowly as if talking to a child.

"well" he paused. Though he had no problem talking with her, it was rare that anybody dared to ask him how he felt. Usually, most aristocrats and purebloods were wary about being in the presence of such a influential vampire such as himself(even if he was the third son, he was still a member of one of the most powerful pureblood families that vampire kind had ever produced), and even amongst his own family did they ever take the time to ask each other such things "I could tell you, but i dont think you would find it of any interest.''

"try me.''

Hm. he raised an eyebrow. for someone so naive about the host club king's obvious attraction to her (cliched and love-at-first-sight-ish ad it was) she sure was persistent about getting to know them all as people/friends"I'm speculating possible ways to raise club profit without further depleting our budget"

"Oh." she fell silent as she took in what he said. Scanning the crowd to make sure she hadnt been spotted by one of her multiple admirers, she turned back to kyoya, the devastatingly cunning mind she called her own in full operation as she surveyed him with a critical eye. "You know....you tell me that, but somehow i dont think thats the whole truth"

"Why fair lady whatever do you mean?" Kyoya asked with a slight untraceable grin tips of his fangs barley showing in the pale light, sarcasm seeping back into his voice.

Mouth positioned for a quick reply , Haruhi suddenly paled as she gazed beyond kyoya, her face one of panic as a pair of mischievous twins and a swooning tamaki headed there way. Brain working quickly, haruhi glanced between the twins tamaki and kyoya, and decided that she would much rather spend the rest of her evening without unnecessary drama. Eyes flying to Kyoya, she looked at him with a sort of desperate determination, and quickly pushed him onto the dancefloor, relief flooding through her as she barely escaped chaos.

Eyes widening impercptibly, Kyoya briefly wondered what just happened until he spotted the mad blond and his cronies(3) heading toward them. Easily pulling her into the ongoing waltz, he chuckled slightly to himself as they glided across the floor.

"Haruhi my dear, i never knew you were so impulsive and daring," he said grinning as she blushed at the realization of what she had just done "I must say, it's quite nice seeing this side of you.'

"Oh shut up" she uttered quickly as her cheeks flushed again"this is strictly for show.''

"Well then" he said, faking taken abackess, ''If this is strictly for show, why dont we get to business? You were saying?"

"it doesnt matter now" she said attempting to ignore the glares coming from several other females, making sure tamaki was nowhere in sight, "Just keep dancing."

Voice dropping an octave as he leaned over to whisper in her ear, Kyoya made no attempt to hide his self satisfied smirk as she blushed

"As, you wish"

Eyes narrowing as she observed a certain pair from the shadows, the girls felt her fist clench as the man of her dreams chased after the only other female pureblood in the school as she brushed him off and fled the dancefloor with kyoya.

'That's it," the girl thought angrily as the girl continued to shamelessly flirt with the other pureblood, blushing as he whispered something in her ear "Pureblood or not, It's time she knew her place"

(1. I'll let you use your imagination for that...(LOL)

(2. Alcoholic beverages have no effect on the vamps in this story.....although a drunk Host club would be great.

(3. Couldnt resist using the term xD

Hehehheh...look at my man kyoya puttin tha moves on my girl Haruhi! But who is that mysterious girl in the shadows? And why is she out to get Haruhi? nobody knoooowwws!!!
