Chapter 12

Kyouya was doing his homework when his cell phone ringer went off. He checked the caller ID and groaned. Tamaki. Kyouya reluctantly answered only to yank the phone away from his ear because Tamaki was yelling something about the TV.

"Slow down," Kyouya said with the phone still away from his ear.

"Turn on the news!" Tamaki yelled.

Kyouya sighed and picked up the remote. He turned the TV on and changed to the news channel. The news reporter was reporting on a car accident that happened yesterday. The news reporter said something about not being able to release it sooner for legal reasons, but they were now allowed to broadcast the story. She listed off the facts: where, when, and the cars involved.

"There were two survivors, one fatality," she said. The pictures of the three people involved came up. One of them, Kyouya didn't recognize. The other two were Hiroki and Haruhi.

Kyouya dropped his cell phone. It took him several minutes to be able to even move. Tamaki was yelling on the phone, calling Kyouya. He could hear it, but he couldn't move.

"KYOUYA! SNAP OUT OF IT! HARUHI NEEDS US!" Tamaki yelled.

Kyouya shook his head and picked up the phone. "Call the others and tell them to meet at the hospital," he said. He hung up before he heard Tamaki's reply, but he already knew Tamaki would do it. Kyouya wasted no time getting ready. Within minutes, he was getting in the limo. Unfortunately, the hospital was about ten minutes away depending on how bad the traffic was.

When Kyouya got there, Takashi and Honey were already there and talking to the nurse. Kyouya walked over to them and listened. Apparently they couldn't see her since they weren't family.

"Can you ask Haruhi if she knows us, and let us in if she does?" Kyouya asked.

"I…I will," the nurse Chiyo said. She quietly walked into Haruhi's room. She silently made her way over to Haruhi's bed. "Miss Fujioka," she said quietly. Haruhi looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "You have guests. Do you know a Takashi, Honey, and Kyouya?" she asked. Haruhi nodded slowly. "Would you like to see them?" she asked. Haruhi stared at her.

Should she let them in? She didn't really want to see anyone…but she didn't really want to be alone either…She didn't want them to see her like this. She didn't want them to worry, but they probably already were. Actually, they'd probably just worry more if she didn't let them in. What should she do?

"Miss? Should I let them in?" Chiyo asked again. Haruhi wiped her eyes and nodded. Chiyo quickly and quietly walked back over to the door and let the boys in.

The boys walked over to Haruhi. She sat up and tried to smile for them. She really did try, but she couldn't hide her pain this time. Honey hugged her, Takashi lightly put his hand on her head, and Kyouya sat in the chair beside Haruhi's bed. The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, came in moments later and they carefully hugged Haruhi. The more they tried to comfort her, the harder it was for her to stay calm. She was on the verge of tears when Tamaki came rushing in, ranting about his hurt daughter, and glomped Haruhi. And since she was still sore, she yelped and the tears finally escaped and ran down her bruised cheeks. Tamaki's eyes widened in sudden realization.

"GET OFF OF HER!" the twins yelled as they pulled him away. The hospital security dragged Tamaki out and the Hosts could hear him screaming from down the hall. There was one word going through all of the boys' heads. "Baka."

The boys stayed until visiting hours were over. And then they came back the next day. The twins and Honey couldn't stay long, but they were determined to see Haruhi. So after they left, Haruhi was left with just Kyouya and Takashi. Since there were less people, she wasn't as stressed and she opened up to them. She told them what had happened before the crash. They tried to comfort her, and they did help a little, but she still cried. They just held her and let her cry.

When she finally calmed down, they tried to change the subject. They talked to her about anything they could. Haruhi has never heard Takashi talk so much. She was happy that they were both trying so hard to make her feel better. For the first time since the accident, Haruhi smiled for real.

Several days later, Haruhi was released from the hospital. No matter what, Takashi and Kyouya would be there every day. The other Hosts came as much and for as long as they could. Haruhi was glad they were there for her. She tried to focus on that so she wouldn't become depressed this time. It was hard, especially when she went home to an empty house, but she was coping.

She wanted to thank the Host Club for being there for her. She decided on making a cake. "Honey-senpai will love it, and the others will like it too. I may not be a great cook, but I can at least make an instant cake and ice it," Haruhi said to herself. The cake did turn out very well and she packed it to take it the next day. Later that night she tried to sleep, but she had nightmares. She couldn't understand why they were starting now. "Maybe because reality is starting to hit me. He really is dead…and I'm alone again…" Haruhi thought.

Haruhi's nightmares started getting worse. Images of Hiroki's bloody face, bright lights, demons trying to drag Hiroki away from her. She saw Hiroki's pained face every time she closed her eyes. She couldn't sleep and it started affecting her school work and her club duties. The girls who sat with her tried to comfort her, to help her, but it wasn't working. The Hosts tried to help, but nothing would stop the nightmares. She knew she had to fix it before she lost her scholarship, but she didn't know how to do it. Then she realized there was one person who could help her. Umehito Nekozawa.

After class ended, she told the twins she would be a little late. Then she forced herself not to run to his "club" room. She knocked on his door and a few moments later he opened it slowly.

"Yes?" He asked quietly.

"I need your help," Haruhi said.

"Come in," he said as he opened the door further and moved aside to let her in. He closed the door behind her. The twins looked at each other before running back to the Host Club room.

"Good thing we followed her," Hikaru said.

"Too bad we couldn't hear her," Kaoru said.

They told Tamaki what they saw and Tamaki declared war on Nekozawa, only to be hit on the head by Kyouya. Tamaki whined and whimpered and cried waterfall tears.

"You shouldn't jump to conclusions," Kyouya scolded.

"But-"

"But nothing! She probably is hoping Nekozawa can stop her nightmares," Kyouya said.

"But what if she's not? What if he's hypnotized her?" Tamaki asked.

Kyouya sighed and came up with the best answer he could think of. "Then you can call some SWAT team to save her IF you can prove that's what happening," he said.

Tamaki grinned and got a gleam in his eye. Now he had a mission, save Haruhi from Nekozawa. Kyouya couldn't help but think it wasn't such a good idea to humor Tamaki at all, but it was too late now.
