What's good people!?!? Yeah I know I'm probably going to burn in hell and become satan's butt monkey since this update has taken forever, but at least I've finally got a better computer (Hopefully) since my old one crashed due to all the trojan viruses that basically killed it.

Before Continue on with the story, there are a few things I wanna clear up before we get going. In my vampire world, all vampires who have formed an alliance with each other (like the host club) share a mental link with each other that they can think through, with everyones thoughts being heard like conversation. The mental link that Haruhi and Kyoya share however, cannot be heard by the other members, as theirs was formed by the bonding of souls (since they've been betrothed from birth), so in a way it's kinda like a couples only connection. If the other person feels something strongly enough, they as a couple can 'feel' each others emotions, but in no way can they read each others thoughts (things still have to be spoken, in a sense, even though everything takes place in their minds).

All of the moon dorms (where all of the aristocratic and purebloods are housed) are furnished more like hotel suites (including a small kitchen and living area) than actual dorms, so keep that in mind while reading :)

Yay!! I hit 50 reviews!! Big ups to ALL my reviewers, favoriters, alerters, and readers who have stuck with me through all the shit I've pulled. You guys are awesome, seriously.

OhMyGoshsickels: Interesting....

ms Masen:Trust me that one is a defianant possibility hehehehe

Tawny:I have many many plans for the Haruhi/Renge relationship that I have yet to expand on. There will definitely be trust issues between the two, since no normal person I know would instantly become friends with someone who attacked her, but the poll is more of a way for me to see reader opinion and develop the story around that. Plus it's fun to see what people think will happen.

Annonymous Amethyst: Actually my obsession for VK is waning, due to the recent events in the manga, but since my story isn't a retelling of VK things should progress without incident

Alika Jones: Aww ur makin mii blush *^-^*

Person: Thanks! I really wanted the fight to have some realism to it since it would have been kinda crappy if she just won without really doing anything.

On a side note anonymous pm-er73 asked me a question that even though some may feel it to be obvious, I still felt obliged to answer. Since Haru and the gang are all vampires, they sleep all day and do normal activities that you and I normally like going to school, work, ect at night. Many of them sneak off campus during the day to seek Human familiars (or blood donors, a free meal, whatever you wanna call us humans) since as an immortal being, they technically don't need to sleep at all, even though most do just to kill time. Classes for them start at around 6pm and typically end at 10ish since all their extracurriculars are available in club form, and meals are provided by room service.

"Thinking"

"MInd LINk"

"Talking"

Haruhi sighed inwardly as she continued to listen to the long monologue of one of her regular male customers, the arrogant tone slowly wearing her patience thin. Ever since her classmates found out about the dispute between Renge and herself, everyday had seemed to be a test of her willpower. All the girls from her class had been in the infirmary constantly, attending and caring for her like some living vampiric doll. Only after the Host Club had physically removed some of her more persistent suitors that dared to try and court her while she was bedridden, did she finally get some rest. Things had been tense between Hikaru and herself for awhile after the incident, neither of them so much as glancing at the other during school hours , until finally a distraught Kaoru threatened to kill them both after class if they didn't at least try to act civil with one another.

Needless to say, things had calmed down after Kaoru's outburst.

Though she received few male visitors aside from the Host Club, it was obvious from the many exotic flowers, stuffed animals and balloon sculptures that littered the tables and floors of the Host Club and her own chambers, that the affections of her pursuer's hadn't waned. They were attracted to her like flies to honey, opening doors and pulling out chairs for her like she was royalty (1),even though she knew most of attraction stemmed from fascination. She was different from most of the girls they usually dealt with, hardly indulging in the lavish privileges they all had, instead preferring to tend to her own business, and stay out of the spotlight. In a way, she supposed she should be flattered that they were trying so hard to impress her, but it was slightly disheartening to know that they would pursue her so steadily without even getting to know her.

'But I guess they don't know any better'Haruhi thought as her current customers voice brought her back to reality

".....And even though he bested me in the first round, I knew that in the end the last was mine to take. which I did effortlessly as usual.''

Haruhi strained a smile as she kept her face pleasant and mentally rolled her eyes, causing Kyoya to chuckle through the mental link they shared."That's quite the feat Keigo-san. I never knew that fencing could be so- uh, intense."

"Ah but it is," the copper haired young man said with a simpering smile, umber eyes slanting as they roved over her figure, taking in the days cosplay lasciviously "The fierce intensity of the bout however, cannot compare to the beauty of you in that lovely kimono"

Haruhi squirmed in the elaborate furisode, willing herself not to grimace disgustedly at his lingering glaces while she silently spoke to Kyoya through the link they shared. 'Please tell me it's almost time to close?'

She caught his brief glance as he quickly looked over at her, giving a charming smile to one of his clients, before he glared slightly at the back of the leering boys head 'Unfortunately no; it seems you'll have to deal with this ignorant fool for a little while longer'

'Damn' Haruhi thought with a frown'Maybe you could- no, no that be more trouble than its worth'

Kyoya continued to type away on his laptop, the deep drawl of his voice echoing in her mind 'Does the lady require assistance?'

Her lips curled into a devious smile as she poured a cup of tea for for one of her customers. 'I'd be ever so grateful for the distraction...'

Haruhi breathed an invisible sigh of relief as Kyoya calmly sauntered over to the corner tabled that she hosted from, using his powers to subtly influence the other suitors to make room for him at the table without question. She smiled as he took a seat in the high backed Victorian chair next to her, his posture the picture of composed confidence as he turned to the man in front of her.

"Long time no see Otanashi-san. I presume you must be enjoying your time with our female host?" He said pleasantly , smirking to himself as he watched the other vampire tense visibly

"Yes,...the time spent with Haruhi-hime has been most enjoyable.." The man in question replied carefully, not sure of the exact reason one of the most powerful purebloods in the school thought it necessary to join his session with Haruhi. 'Though if I may ask without overstepping my bounds why you choose to join Haruhi's session in particular?"

Kyoya smirked as he sensed the other club members turn their way , knowing there curiosity was piqued "Ah, forgive me Otanashi-san, but as vice president I'm required to evaluate at least 2 members of the club at least once a month for reference purposes. Seeing as how Haruhi has yet to be observed this month, I see no reason why not now. Just pretend I'm not even here and carry on as usual."

The only son and heir of the Otanashi clan nodded silently, slightly unsettled by the massive amount of power that the male pureblood radiated at rest. 'Easy for you to say' the aristocrat thought bitterly. Nevertheless, he turned his attention back to Haruhi, barely attempting to mask his presumptuos advances at the female host."So Haruhi-chan, what did you think of the gorgeous get well bouquet I sent you? Surely it was better than anything those other vagrants brought you?"

"Yes.." she replied slowly, quickly recalling the putrid brown and gold flowers that seemed to overpower everything with their musky scent "They were very....different."

He smiled impishly, taking her repulsion as appreciation "Of course I wouldn't consider a lady of your standing to have as ample a knowledge about extravagant things as I do, but perhaps we can rectify this situation over dinner at one of the finer restaurants in town?"

Haruhi forced her voice to stay apologetic, pushing back the annoyance she felt at his underestimation of her knowledge "I'm terribly sorry Keigo-san, but I have exams coming up this month and I'll be busy studying most of the time. Perhaps another time?"

"Nonsense dear Haruhi, why should you waste your time studying when you could be spending time with me? How about you meet me at the Troiani and I'll tell you all about my latest expedition to the arctic?"

"No. Thank you." Haruhi stood abruptly, unable to completely keep the irritation She felt out of her voice as she gathered the days tea set and headed for the storing cupboard "I thank you for your offer, but I must decline, as my grades are more important to me than a pointless date."

Kyoya turned to address the stunned aristocrat, unable to keep his smirk from growing wider as the twins laughed raucously from across the room, reveling in the haughty lord's rejection"To be a member of any group organization at Cross Academy, a students grades must remain in at least the 90th percentile, so it is important for miss fujioka to stay on top of her studies. Mayhaps you could try a different attempt at winning Miss Fujiokas hand after exams are over?"

"Don't worry," he replied tersely, walking stiffly towards as he glared accusingly at the other host members, as if they had something to do with his rejection. "I will be back, and Fujioka will be mine" he shuffled out the door with the other customers fuming silently as the host Club closed for the day.

Haruhi returned from the cupboard warily checking to see if her unwanted customer had vacated the area, before she was violently swooped off the ground in a bone crushing hug, courtesy of Tamaki

"Oh fair princess!I Woe that you had to endure the insufferable advances of that lecherous mongrel Keigo! Come, have dinner with me in the cafeteria and you can tell Daddy all about it."

"But aren't you doing the exact same thing you just accused Keigo-san of?" Haruhi pointed out bluntly, face loosing all expression as Tamaki paled.

"Yeah Tono!" Hikaru exclaimed devilishly, appearing next to Hauhi's side along with his twin. "Faking interest in a lady's feeling just to get with her isn't a very admirable quality..."

"How can you call yourself her father?" Kaoru questioned accusingly, wrapping an arm around her shoulder as his brother mirrored his actions."No self respecting parent would ever try to force themselves on their child.." Hikaru steered her toward the exit as Kaoru opened the door.

"C'mon Haruhi, we'll make sure you get to your room safel-""

"Release her you vile devils!" Tamaki yelled dramatically, grabbing the twins by their collars as they began to bicker aimlessly

'So, you still coming over to help me with this history test?' Haruhi thought wordlessly as she drifted back over to where Kyoya was sitting, gathering her things as she prepared leave for her quarters.

'But of course dear Haru, a true gentlemen never goes back on his word After my meeting with the Headmaster I should be over about midnight, if that's alright with you?

'It's fine, since it'll give me enough time to study for my other classes'

'That's good, since I have a surprise for you later anyway.'

'Well! I suppose it's a good thing that I turned down Tamaki and Keigo isn't it?' she thought teasingly 'Because it seems to me that this is sounding an awful lot like a date'

'It could possibly, or it might not be anything at all.' He cocked an eyebrow at her at her joking tone, but grinning inwardly to himself nonetheless 'The question is; when the time comes, will you accept?'

'Oh don't worry' she thought assuredly as a happy smile rose unbidden to her lips 'I'll be there'

X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X

Hunny and Mori watched Tamaki and the Twins argue distractedly, none of the bickering party noticing the many looks that kept passing between the Shadow King and the Host Club princess.

"Takashi?" Hunny paused from eating his strawberry upside down cake, bright round eyes studying his fork carefully "Somethings going on between Kyo and Haru-chan, ne?"

"Mm hm" Mori agreed quietly dark eyes tracing the interactions between the two hosts

Hunny gazed at the couple with a careful eye, noting the raised eyebrows and shared smiles that adorned the faces of the secretive pair " What do you think we should do?"

"Give them time" Mori answered calmly, coal eyes straying to the yelling trio in the middle of the room, making sure that their conversation went unheard " When the time comes, they'll tell the rest when they're ready. Until then we keep the others from finding out and help them as much as we can."

"Oh. Sounds like a good plan to me!......ne, Takashi what do you think will happen when Tama, Hika and Kao-chan realize what's happening?"

"They'll probably do something drastic."

"Oh." Hunny sombered slightly, face falling before he began grinning again "But that's why we have to help them, right?"

"Exactly."

X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X

Haruhi padded soundlessly across the tile floor of her bathroom, quickly drying her hair and searching for her clothes while Kyoya waited at the end of the hall for her to get ready. He had appeared on her doorstep around 12 as promised, and by 12:45, he had helped her finish all of her assignments for the next two weeks without so much as hinting about what he had planned. She had tried many times during their studying to somehow make him reveal anything for what he had planned, but as the night wore on, she realized nothing would make him give, and she finally relented to get ready while he himself left to change out of his own uniform.

Pulling on a pair of snug, comfortable jeans, she slipped into a stretchy long sleeve off the shoulder shirt , the bold blue and black stripes complementing the studded leather belt slung loosely around her slender hips. Sliding her feet into the worn black converses that she had the school recover from her old home at the orphanage, she grabbed the small green phone that the twins had forced on her, and left her room pausing only to lock her door, before leaving to meet Kyoya.

Kyoya checked the silver watch that was strapped to his wrist and smiled slightly as he watched Haruhi approach.

'Right on time' he thought idly as she walked down the hall toward him.

"You look nice." She said with approval at his choice of clothing, slightly baggy black jeans complementing the black button down shirt and white vest he wore." Geez I hope I don't look weird. This is all I had to work with after the twins decided to raid my closet."

"Don't worry you look lovely." He assured her, taking in her lithe figure with appreciation "So, I trust you've taken care of everything?"

"Yep. I already made sure that Tamaki and the twins won't be able to harass me or destroy my room while I'm gone. So we should have no problem out of those three tonight.'' She said as they began to walk down the hall, willing her presence to become near invisible as she followed Kyoya through the breezeway, passing undetected through the school's gates and stopping at the forests edge.

"Where exactly did you say we were going?" she inquired curiously, peering into the forest as Kyoya moved behind her, wondering what could possibly be in waiting inside.

"I didn't." He said calmly as he wrapped an arm around her shouders and tucked the other under the bend of her legs, grinning at the yelp and pretty blush that spread across her face. "Besides it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I had, now would it?"

Heart beating wildly as he raced effortlessly through the foliage, her eyes widened as he suddenly stopped and set her on her feet, looking at the scene before her in awe

"Kyoya....it's beautiful.."

I know........ I'm a horribly evil person for stopping there but, if I kept going to where I had originally planned, I don't think the chapter would have flowed right. Lots of things happened in this chapter, including beginning of a bonafide date between our dear couple and the introduction of my mary sue-er Billy sue (since Keigo is a dude).

Poll results so far:

1) Have renge and Haruhi become friends=2

2) Have her join an evil alliance to destroy the host club=1

3)Have her plot to kill Haruhi (possibly by creating her own evil organization)......again.....still not sure how that's gonna work out.=1

Remember people if you want something to happen, speak up and vote. Hey who knows, I might even add an option if someone feels strongly enough :)

(1) Actually when I think about it, she really is.

Coming soon:"......And with the exchange of these vows, we will forever be bound together as one"
