If there were any words to describe Haruhi Fujioka the next morning as she dragged herself into her classroom it would be mentally drained. 'I thought Tamaki-sempai was bad, Fuyumi makes him seem like Mori-sempai' she sighs sitting down at her desk. 'After dinner we must've gone through every damn piece of clothing in her closet and she never stopped asking questions about me.' She watched as the door to the classroom suddenly opened and walked in the pair of twins, who Haruhi really didn't want to have to deal with this morning. 'These two rarely come in early; I wonder what they want this time.'
"Ha-ru-hi," they chorused happily running over to her desk.
"What do you two want?" she asks trying to keep her voice steady.
"We thought you were dead-"Kaoru stated
"You ignored all of our calls-"Hikaru said
"And were worried about you what were you thinking worrying us like that?" They finished.
'Oh yea, I got home late last night and fell asleep almost immediately' she remembered. "I'm sorry guys after dinner last night I just fell asleep." She told them.
"So the Shadow King didn't do anything?" they asked.
She just looked up at them 'do they know?' "What does Kyoya-sempai have to do with me being tired?" she asks cautiously.
"You really don't remember, after school in the clubroom yesterday?" Hikaru asks
"No why? Did something happen?" she asks the only thing still on her mind was dinner the night before with Kyoya's family and the two hours spent with his sister in her old room.
"He brainwashed you." They shouted.
"Oh come on I'm sure even Kyoya-sempai doesn't have the equipment to fully brainwash a person." Haruhi states logically, though not really putting it pass him. "Now if you don't mind would you both shut up, you're giving me a headache." She asks laying her head down on the desk.
"Do you think-?" Hikaru asks his brother.
"He did something to her?" Kaoru says as the two look at their suddenly sleeping toy. "Nah." They concluding sitting down at their desks.
Kyoya walked into his classroom that morning still feeling guilty about not warning Haruhi last night that when his sister wanted to "talk" then it would result in Fuyumi talking for hours, until someone came in to take her home. When a certain blonde staring at him made him lose his train of thought. "What is it Tamaki?" he asks icily sitting down at his desk.
"Kyoya Mon ami, are you still in a bad mood?" the blond asks nervously.
'Bad mood? Oh that's right, I yelled at him yesterday in the clubroom, actually I snapped at everyone.' He sighed "No Tamaki I'm fine, but I will not apologize for my behavior yesterday."
"I didn't expect you too." Tamaki laughed "So, were you at home yesterday? I couldn't get ahold of you at all last night." he asks.
"Tamaki I had a family dinner you know I wouldn't dare miss one of those." Kyoya answers
"Right because of your father, I'm sorry Kyoya." He says
"Never mind that Tamaki what was it you needed to tell me?" he asks.
"Oh, well the twins called me last night and were asking if I knew where Haruhi was, apparently they tried calling her most of the night. Since you were the last person in the club who saw her I thought maybe you knew where she was." He answered
"Dear lord, you three act like you have to protect her 24/7 she's not a child Tamaki, I'm sure she just fell asleep, or was in the middle of studying and ignored her phone." He sighed.
"Oh right, well Hunny and Mori sempai were worried as well." Tamaki mumbled
'Honestly this is the reason we can't figure out how to tell them, they worry far too much' Kyoya thinks pulling out his things for class, though he knew it was pointless, as he was already a month ahead in all his classes. "Tamaki I'm sure she will answer your question later in the club if you are that curious." He tells his friend truly wishing he could tell him and save Haruhi the trouble of figuring out an answer for him later, but it would be too suspicious, so he regrettably stayed quiet.
"You're right Kyoya I'll just ask her later.' Tamaki says cheerfully.
'If she's awake,' Kyoya thinks, as his mind wandered again to dinner the night before with Fuyumi asking Haruhi to go up to her room to talk, leaving him with his brothers who wasted no time asking him the questions you don't ask in front of woman, especially if it was your own. Kyoya knew his sister Fuyumi already loved Haruhi like a little sister she could dress up, that much was obvious, but his two older brothers he knew were putting on an act, only to please their father. He hoped the look he gave Haruhi before he kissed her made her understand not to trust his brothers, at least not yet. As his mind was wandering he didn't notice all of the people coming in and only when their teacher said her "Good-morning" did he even remember he was at school. He recovered quickly, pulling out his notebook and got ready for another day at school.
'Haruhi and the twins are late' Kyoya notes later in the clubroom, looking up from his laptop to see Tamaki pacing around the room worriedly, and Hunny and Mori eating cake at their usual table.
"Where is she, where is my daughter?" Tamaki mutters, still pacing
"Tama-chan, I'm sure she's fine. You know how Haru-chan is she might only be in the library." Hunny tells him, Mori only nodding in agreement, as the doors flew open revealing two red-headed twins.
"Kyoya-sempai what did you do to Haruhi?" the ask
"Don't tell me you two are still going on about that." Haruhi groaned behind them.
"Haruhi, oh my precious daughter where have you been, Daddy has been so worried about you." Tamaki cries going on with his usual antics of picking her up and swinging her around like a doll.
"Damn it Sempai, put me down, I was just in the library." She tells him, as he slowly puts her back down.
"Yea, we found her asleep in one of the armchairs. It took us forever to get her up." The twins say looking over at Kyoya, who had looked over at Haruhi for a moment. 'Did last night really tire her out that much' he wondered before focusing on the twins.
"What makes you think I have anything to do with Haruhi falling asleep in the library?" he asks
"You were the last person she talked to yesterday." Hikaru accused.
'Was I,' Kyoya though looking back to the day before.
"Oh, you guys are talking about after the club when I told you all to go home, so I could talk to Kyoya-sempai." Haruhi realizes.
"So, the girl finally remembers." Kaoru sighs
"So Kyoya-sempai what exactly happened yesterday? Haruhi wouldn't tell us this morning." The twins ask
"I never said I wouldn't tell you, I just now remembered what you two were even talking about." Haruhi protests
"So then why didn't you pick up your phone last night?" they ask
"I fell asleep studying for the history test we had this morning." She answered simply, Kyoya silently applauding her quick thinking.
"So then what happened yesterday with you and Kyoya-sempai?" they ask again
"Nothing much, Haruhi and I talked for a few minutes, she got mad and yelled at me, I yelled at her and she walked out of the room." Kyoya answered tired of the twins pestering her and giving her a break from trying to think of yet another cover story. "That sound about right Haruhi?"
"Yes, and I want to apologize for what I said yesterday. It was out of line Sempai and I'm sorry." She smiled sending him a grateful glance.
"No need," Kyoya said "But I realized after you stormed out that I never got to talk with you about what I wanted to discuss with you yesterday, so if you would kindly stay afterwards-"
"No way Kyoya-sempai, we're not leaving you alone with her again," The twins say protectively standing in front of her.
"I would think that it's Haruhi's choice, wouldn't you agree?" he asks smirking "Haruhi if not after the club, then I could spare a few minutes now to talk to you in the supply room."
"Of course Kyoya-sempai, I'll be right there." She answers watching him nod once, pick up his notebook and walk into the other room.
"Haruhi, why does mother always get to monopolize your time?" Tamaki asks
"It's not monopolizing Sempai; Kyoya-sempai just wants to talk to me about my debt." She sighs trying to free herself from the twins. "Look it'll be fine it's not like he's going to kill me."
"But Haruhi-"
"I'll see you all in a bit, I promise." She assures them walking into the other room closing and locking the door behind her, so the others wouldn't try to peep, though she knew they would try to listen.
"Haruhi over here," she hears Kyoya's voice calling her.
Turning around she sees him in a corner of the room by one of the windows he was at the day before. Moving quickly over to him, she grabs his tie and pulls him down level with her and kisses him full on the lips. "This is very risky of you Kyoya." She whispers releasing his tie to let him go. "You know the others are right at the door, and to ask me to see you in the middle of club?"
"Those three idiots will only think I'm punishing you for something and are adding something on your non-existent debt. Hunny and Mori-sempai, however I suppose I'm a bit worried, but not enough to care." He whispers pinning her against the wall successfully trapping her.
"You know this isn't what I had in mind when you said you wanted to talk." She laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her. "And I know you wouldn't do this." She manages to get out as he deepens the kiss, earning a small moan from her.
"This time however, I get merit from going after you. What makes you think I won't continue?" he asks.
"Because you are a gentleman and if I asked you to stop you would." She replies simply placing her hands on his chest.
"Are you asking me to stop then?" he asks slowly pulling back, already knowing her answer.
"Yes," she said weakly pushing him back.
"You're lucky you know me so well then." He smirks freeing her.
"I'm not lucky, it's just that I trust you." She states, "Now what is it you wanted to ask me?"
"First, I wanted to apologize for not warning you about my sister Fuyumi." He stated "Second, I wanted to know if you understood the look I gave you before I kissed you last night, and third I'm curious at why you seem so tired today, surely last night wasn't THAT draining?"
"Is that all?" she asks giggling, knowing Kyoya was the type of person to get right to the point when asking questions. She moved over to sit on one of the tables even farther in the back of the room.
"Yes, that's all" he stated moving over to sit next to her.
"Right well first, its okay your sister is a bit…over-the-top, but she and I are becoming really good friends Kyoya, second you meant the look in your eyes about not to trust your brothers right? I already assumed that when they were being friendly to me. Fuyumi's kindness I knew was genuine, but it was the way you acted around your brothers that led me to believe they had other motives." She sighed "Third well yes and no, I slept like a log last night. It was the night before that I didn't get any sleep at all I was too worried about hearing your father reaction when you told him. I don't think I was tired yesterday because of adrenaline or something, I'm not really sure." She confessed
"So you already knew my brothers were faking kindness for father?" he asks impressed
"Yes, and I'm pretty sure your father was well aware they were just putting on an act for him." She yawned leaning her head on his shoulder. "I'm just going to have to work harder to get them to accept me."
"You don't really have too, I hope you realize?" he says kissing the top of her head, "Just my sister and father accepting you should be more than enough."
"I know I don't have too, but I want to." She answered now determined.
"Then I will help you in any way I can and best of luck to you Haruhi." He smiles holding her closer.
They stayed like that for a few more minutes, before the sound of shuffling outside the door broke the calming silence. "We better get out of here before they break down the door." Haruhi sighed.
"If they value their current lives they wouldn't dare," Kyoya growled helping Haruhi off the desk and kissing her again on the lips.
"Always the Shadow King eh?" she smiles moving over to open the door, only to watch and laugh as three bodies fell over in front of her.
The next week flew by quickly and when Graduation day finally came around it seemed to Haruhi that every graduating third-year girl were in tears as they received their diplomas. 'Honestly it's only high school, when they enter the university division they'll see a lot of these same people, what's the big deal?' she thought from her seat between the two twins as they watched the graduation ceremony. She clapped and cheered with the others when Hunny and Mori received their diplomas and was half-asleep on Hikaru's shoulder during the boring speeches given by the faculty members, but she felt overall it was a great day. After the ceremony the host club met by the fountain, where Haruhi had remembered searching for her wallet with Tamaki almost a year ago.
Hunny and Mori announced as soon as everyone met that they weren't planning on leaving the host club shocking everyone, but to no one's surprise Kyoya, who Haruhi had a feeling already knew ahead of time. "We are a family and all of us promised Haru-chan right after the Ouran fair that we would all never break up again. So Takashi and I will be dropping by every once and awhile." Hunny smiled down at them from his spot on Mori's shoulders. "So we will see you all again in music room 3 when school starts up again."
"Of course Hunny-sempai, Mori-sempai you two are always welcome." Tamaki said grinning happily.
"Thank you both for all of your hard work in these past years, and we will see you both again soon." Kyoya manages a small smile to the two of them.
"See you both soon." The twins' chorus.
"This family will never break up." Haruhi smiles wondering vaguely if that was true.
"Mitsukuni we have to go, see you all again soon." Mori said smiling down at Haruhi and waving good-bye to the others.
"Right good-bye everyone." Hunny waves as the two now graduated seniors head over to their waiting car.
"Hey Takashi?" Hunny asks when they were far enough away from the others.
"What is it Mitsukuni?" Mori asks getting the feeling he knew what his cousin wanted to talk about.
"You know when I wondered if something big was going to happen before we graduated, almost losing Tama-chan wasn't exactly what I had in mind. That whole incident really scared me." Hunny confessed looking back to his group of friends, Kyoya he noted was already gone.
"Yea, it scared me too," Mori replied
"But it all worked out in the end, and yet nothing seems to have changed at all between Haru-chan and everybody else." Hunny sighed, and then laughed as he watched the twins and Tamaki argue over taking Haruhi home. Only to lose to Kasanoda wandering over to the group and asking Haruhi himself.
"You never know that Mitsukuni, Haruhi may not be that oblivious anymore to her feeling for one of the members. The last few weeks have proven that." Mori says
"I know that, I was talking about the others." Hunny sighed 'she's not good at hiding her feelings,' knowing his cousin was referring to the way Haruhi would blush, get nervous, or just be spacing out in the middle of club. "When I go to visit them again, if something hasn't happened yet then I am just going to make my move to make them all realize their feelings for her."
"Just be careful Mitsukuni," Mori warned as they got into their car.
"I will Takashi, I promise." Hunny smiles looking out the window, as their car drove away taking them home where both their families were waiting for them.
Yay I got another posted and I hope you guys like it. I'm really sorry about this, but I won't be able to update for about two weeks i'm leaving to visit my grandparents tomorrow and they have no internet-gah it sucks for me too, but I promise to write and update as soon as I get back i'm sorry again for this. In other topics however, I hope you like this chapter I wanted to do one with all the hosts for once because lately it's been all about Haruhi and Kyoya-not that it's a bad thing, but I feel bad about leaving the hosts out of chapters so even though this one has a I think sweet Haruhi and Kyoya moment I wanted to write about the host club too. Thank you all for reading it this far and sorry again about no update for awhile, but I will update as soon as I get back so I guess see you in a few weeks. xD
