Chapter 13

The next week consisted of Tamaki trying to spy on Haruhi and Nekozawa, and failing miserably. He either lost them (and they weren't even trying to) or he got caught. And after he got caught, Haruhi would glare at him and he would run back to the club room and whine to Kyouya. Frankly, Kyouya was getting sick of it. He just wanted to beat Tamaki until he stopped whining or moving…or both.

Haruhi spent most of her free time with Nekozawa. She would only do the essentials for the Host Club, and even then after she kept catching Tamaki following her and Nekozawa, she stopped going to the club at all. She talked to Kyouya and he approved (much to Tamaki's annoyance).

As for Haruhi, she was helping Nekozawa find a cure for her nightmares. They did find several ways, but it was the possible side effects for those that made them keep looking. Like one side effect would make her not be able to tell dream from reality and would ultimately drive her insane. And it meant literally insane, like "padded room and straight jacket" insane. Some others weren't as bad so they became plan B. Finally after two weeks, they found a very good possibility. They read over it and even used a magnifying glass to make sure there weren't any little prints that would make it not worth it.

"This could really work," Haruhi said tiredly. She hadn't really slept since the nightmares started and she couldn't handle it much longer. It was effecting everything, school included. They needed to do something now before she lost her scholarship.

"Hai, I'll get the ingredients. You should rest now," Umehito Nekozawa said, already gathering the ingredients. Umehito had been very sympathetic about it, but without smothering her. Haruhi had really grown to like Umehito, even calling him by his first name (though most of the time it was just when they were alone). And he did the same for her. (And yes, he knew she was a girl.)

Haruhi nodded and lied down on his couch, watching him rush around the dark room. His wig would catch the light of candles every now and then and make him look…scary but cool. She sometimes thought of him as a vampire- hiding from light, using dark magic, and wearing a cloak. She was so distracted by her own thoughts that she didn't notice Umehito trying to get her attention.

"Gomen, nani?" Haruhi asked.

"There are some things I need that I don't have here," Umehito explained. She just nodded as he explained he would get the ingredients and finish making it tomorrow, and that it needed to sit for several hours anyway.

"Alright then I'm going to head home. Ja ne, Umehito-kun," Haruhi said as she grabbed her bag and walked to the door.

"Ja ne, Haruhi-chan," he said. Haruhi smiled and opened the door. She glanced back at Umehito as she walked out and closed the door behind her. She stood in front of the door for a few moments before turning to walk down the hall, only to be stopped by Tamaki flying at her. She stepped out of the way and he fell on the floor.

"That was so mean!" Tamaki whined.

"So was the sudden glomp attempt," Haruhi said as she rolled her eyes.

"EH?" Tamaki asked in confusion, he couldn't understand how that could be mean.

"What do you want?" Haruhi asked.

"Why are you spending so much time with Nekozawa?" Tamaki blurted.

"I don't need to answer to you," Haruhi said bluntly. She turned and walked down the hall before Tamaki could say another word. Apparently, saying that made him completely freeze. As Haruhi walked down the stairs she heard him sob. She felt bad for a moment, but then she remembered that he had been spying on her. Her anger flared up again and she nearly stormed out of the school and out the gates. She walked as fast as she could back home. She felt ready to explode and she wasn't sure what was going to happen when she did, all she knew was that she didn't want that to happen out in public. Especially if Tamaki had decided to spy on her again.

When she finally got home she locked the door behind her and just collapsed on the floor. She felt tears in her eyes, but she fought to keep them from overflowing. She didn't want to cry anymore. She wanted to be strong and show everyone she would be fine.

But she wasn't strong. She wanted to cry. She wouldn't be fine and she knew it. She had now lost everything. She lost her parents and her first and only love. Her love that was so close to her even when he wasn't there. Her love that could make her feel better by the simplest things. But now she was alone.

She made herself get up. She couldn't just mope around. She had to…she had to do something…ANYTHING…so she turned on some music and turned it up high and then started cleaning the house. It didn't really need it, but that didn't matter. And when she finished that, she did her homework. Unfortunately that didn't take very long. So she just sat there and stared.

"Maybe I should get a hobby or something…" Haruhi mumbled to herself.

"That'd be a good idea," someone said from behind her. Haruhi whirled around quickly and stared at the person with frightened wide eyes for a few moments before realizing who it was.

"D-Daichi?" Haruhi asked in surprise.

"Don't look so surprised. You should've checked your messages," Daichi said as he turned the music off.

"D-demo…h-how did you get in?" Haruhi asked.

"Hiroki sent me a key a while back, just in case," Daichi explained. Haruhi winced at the mention of Hiroki but she tried not show it. Daichi saw it anyway.

"W-well then…I'll admit I haven't checked my messages, so why are you here?" Haruhi asked.

"With both your father and my brother dead, you're alone, correct?" Daichi asked. Haruhi nodded. "You can't live alone, especially after what you've just suffered."

"Why not? My biggest problem is that I've got too much time…" Haruhi said.

"In all that free time, did you remember to eat?" Daichi asked. Haruhi froze. Damn, she knew she was forgetting something, but eating? How could she forget that?

"I…I wasn't hungry…" Haruhi lied.

"You're a terrible liar," Daichi commented.

'Damn!' Haruhi thought. "Well why are you here?" Haruhi asked, trying to change the subject. "You've got your own life, you can't just move here because of me."

"I'm not. You will have to come and live with me."

"What?"

"Either that or you have to find a roommate."

"S-seriously?"

"Yes, but whether they live with you or you live with them is up to you and your roommate."

"Y-you can't be s-serious."

"I'm very serious. That's my condition if you want to stay."

"You can't do that!"

"Actually I can. My parents were your godparents and when they died, my brother and I took on the responsibility. So now, I am your godfather. I'm your legal guardian so I can have you move back with me. But I'm giving you an option to stay, but my condition has to be made."

Haruhi just groaned. She lied her head on the table and thought. Maybe she could get a roommate…it didn't have to be that bad…maybe it could even be a good thing. Now the only question was, who? Who on earth would be her roommate? She had no idea who she could even ask, which brought out another groan. She couldn't ask anyone from school. For one, then they'd all pity her and view her as a homeless, penniless wreck. Not to mention the fact that most of them thought she was a boy…

"Oh I would also prefer that your roommate be a girl, but that is not required," Daichi mentioned.

"Alright, but I'll need at least a few days to find someone who's willing," Haruhi said.

"I know, and I'll be staying the week. But you need to have someone by then or you're coming back with me. You and they don't have to be moved in, but you do need to be getting ready for it," Daichi said.

"Fine," Haruhi agreed with a sigh. 'On with the impossible task,' she thought.
