Haruhi woke up the next morning after a restless night's sleep and still regretting what she had said yesterday at dinner. "Haruhi are you okay? You seem a bit upset this morning, did something happen last night during dinner?" Ranka asks his daughter, as she came out of her bedroom in her school uniform.
"I'm fine dad it's just…I said some things last night I shouldn't have, or I should have chosen a better time to say those things." She sighs, sitting down next to him to eat some breakfast.
"C'mon it couldn't have been that bad." Ranka tries to assure his daughter, as he watches her eat.
"I still shouldn't have said what I did though at the time," she mutters
"Okay, what did Kyoya-kun think, or have you talked to him about it yet?" he asks glad she was at least eating something.
"Yes, and he thought what I said was humorous." She sighs
"Well you see you shouldn't worry about it if your boyfriend didn't think anything of it." Ranka says smiling at his daughter, who was still looking really upset. "By the way there's a car outside waiting for you I think, it showed up about ten minutes ago and with how expensive it looks I assume it's one of your friends." He tells her in an attempt to change the subject.
"What?" Haruhi asks going over to the window to see a familiar face leaning against a Rolls-Royce, she recognizes as one of Kyoya's. "Hotta-san, don't worry dad he's one of Kyoya's men."
"I thought he looked familiar." Ranka mutters as Haruhi quickly gathers up her things for school.
"See you later dad," she waves heading out the door.
"Have a good first day Haruhi," he calls to his daughter before the door closes behind her.
"Hotta-san, what are you doing here?" Haruhi asks walking up to the car.
"Master Kyoya asked me to make sure you got to school safety Haruhi-sama," he answers
"Is that so," she mutters trying to decide whether it was a really sweet gesture, or if Kyoya was just being a little overprotective.
"Are you ready to go?" he asks opening her door.
"Oh yes of course, but I thought I told you I didn't need you to open my doors for me." She says with humor in her voice, as she gets into the car.
"My sincerest apologizes Haruhi-sama," he bows before closing her door.
'I may as well give up trying to get him to drop the formalities,' she sighs as he got into the driver's seat and drive off.
When they reach the familiar front gates of Ouran Academy, Haruhi thanks him for the ride and heads up to her new classroom. 'So this is the classroom Kyoya and Tamaki-sempai were in all last year' she thinks walking into 2-A. After taking a quick glance around she sits in a seat by the window, as a sudden realization hit her. 'I'm a second year student now. Just one more year after this and I'll be in the university. I wonder how long Kyoya and I can keep this from everybody, it's almost been a year now, but I'm sure even they'll figure it out eventually. I wonder though, if we'll just end up telling them.' Lost in thought as she looked out the window to the cloudy morning, she didn't notice a pair of red-headed twins coming up beside her.
"What's up Haruhi-" Kaoru's voice breaks her train of thought.
"Yea, for a new second year student-" Hikaru's voice made her turn around to face them
"You seem kinda down," they finish together.
'These two never cease to amaze me with how they are able to do that so well,' she sighs "Hikaru, Kaoru good morning." She smiles up at the two of them.
"So, what's up?" they ask
"I was just lost in my own thoughts I guess, you know it's funny around this time last year you had no clue who I was." She laughs.
"Well it's almost a year later and we are both very happy that you stumbled into our little club." Hikaru says smiling back at her.
"Even if you are only in the club because of a debt," Kaoru laughs
"Just know that we both love you Haruhi," they chorus
"Even if I was keeping a secret from you and the rest of the club?" she mutters under her breath.
"What was that?" they ask
"Nothing important, I love you both too," she saves really glad they didn't hear her last comment.
"You know we haven't seen you since Hunny and Mori sempai's graduation?" Hikaru tells her
"It's not my fault you two have been overseas our entire break." She states pulling out one of her textbooks from her bag and skimming through it.
"Well you seemed to have a fun time at Kyoya-sempai's house with him and Tono last week," they say. Haruhi almost drops the book she was holding.
"How on earth do you two know about that?" she asks curiously looking back up to them.
"We got a very interesting phone call from milord that night asking us something about a truth or dare game involving him, you, and Kyoya-sempai." Kaoru begins to explain.
"Oh yeah, What about?" she asks getting a very bad feeling.
"Nothing much-"Kaoru
"Except that you-" Hikaru says trying to hide his anger.
"Told him that you had kissed a guy." They finish together
"Oh that-you know he got Kyoya-sempai to confess about kissing someone once as well, so what's the big deal?" she asks
"For all we know Kyoya-sempai could have kissed someone long before we met him-" Kaoru
"But with you, we know who your first kiss was with, so it had to have happened between the Christmas party last year and now-"Hikaru
"So who was it, who kissed you?" they demand staring down at her.
'Damn you Tamaki-sempai, I knew that dumb game was going to come back to haunt me one day.' She thinks before saying "I'm sorry you two, but I think that's my own business."
"Oh come on Haruhi at least let us get revenge on the guy." They ask
"He doesn't need you two trying to 'get revenge' on him." She tries to convince them. 'Kyoya could do a lot worse to the two of you then you could do to him anyways' she thinks
"Then just tell us who it was, and we promise not to do anything." They ask
"I'm sorry, but I refuse. Now if you two could sit down and be quiet everyone's coming in now." She tells them, as they turn to see students wandering into the classroom.
"Don't think this is the end Haruhi." They tell her finally sitting down behind her. "Oh and Tono's invited all of us out to dinner tonight, even Hunny and Mori sempai said they had time to come."
"Then I guess I'm having dinner with you all tonight, it will be nice to sit down and talk with everyone again." She replies not even turning around, as their homeroom teacher walks into class
As the first day of class progressed Hikaru turns to his brother an idea of who would know every detail about Haruhi comes to mind. Kaoru turns to his brother who was probably at this point thinking the same thing. 'I think it best if we talk a bit to our Shadow King later today.' They both think grinning at one another.
Later in the clubroom Kyoya was working on his laptop, trying to figure out how much money the club was losing due to the loss of Hunny and Mori. 'Without Hunny-sempai's constant eating of cake and sweets the budget is just about even. I'll just have to 'borrow' some of the club member's things if we need to.' He thinks looking up to see Haruhi and Tamaki entertaining their guests Haruhi, he noticed was still looking a bit down. 'Is she still worried about what happened last night?' he wonders looking over to the twins table to see it vacant. 'Now where did those two run off to?'
"Hey Kyoya-sempai," he hears the twins behind him.
"What do you two want I'm busy," he growls
"Do you remember last week when you, Haruhi, and the boss played a little game called truth or dare?" they ask.
'Yes, and I am never playing with Tamaki again' he thinks. Not even looking up from his laptop he asks "What about it?"
"We got a call from Tono that night and he asked us a question-" Kaoru
"Which we assumed was asked by you-great question by the way we got a really good laugh out of it, who would have thought the boss didn't know what it meant." Hikaru says laughing, Kyoya smirks at the memory of Tamaki's face when he had asked the idiot.
"But there was something that Haruhi admitted that bothered us-" Kaoru
"We figured you might know-" Hikaru
"Who it was that Haruhi kissed?" they ask together
"Good lord, you two are starting to sound a lot like Tamaki," Kyoya sighs still not looking up from his work, as the customers begin to leave the clubroom for the day.
"Well we figured you might know something-" Hikaru
"You being the Shadow King and all-" Kaoru
"Of course I know who it was, but I see no benefit in telling the two of you." He states finally looking up face the two of them, who he noted actually look surprised. 'What they're surprised I know?" he wonders vaguely.
"Why won't you tell us?" they demand
"It doesn't concern the two of you, so there is no need for you to know." He answers simply.
"Or is it that you really don't know anything and are trying to pretend you do?" they ask
'Why do people always assume that?' he wonders "Do you two really need proof?" he asks. Watching them nod he turns to Haruhi, who at this point is trying to stop Tamaki from trying to 'help' her clean up. "Haruhi," he calls
"Yes Sempai?" she asks, after saying something to Tamaki and causing him to run over to his corner of woe.
"I know who the boy was that you kissed," he states
"Of course you do Sempai, after all you walked in on us." She replies icily, as he turns back to look at the twin's shocked faces and glad that she remembered their cover story if either of them were ever asked something close to that.
"What mother knew and didn't bother to tell daddy?" Tamaki yells suddenly recovered from Haruhi's earlier remark.
"It wasn't really any of my business either, and as long as he keeps Haruhi's secret from the rest of the school it didn't really matter to me." Kyoya replies "And it was just a type of deal correct Haruhi?"
"Yes Sempai," she replies
"But mother-" Tamaki whines coming over to grab Kyoya's arm
"It's not my place to tell you." He states ignoring his now crying friend.
"We know let's play the 'Which one is Hikaru game' if we win then you tell us everything you know." The twins suggest grinning mischievously.
"And if I win you all drop this subject completely, and never bring it up again." Kyoya counters
"Deal, we'll be right back." They say running into the supply room to get ready.
"Haruhi if they try to trick me let me know, after all it's in your best interest that I win this." Kyoya asks
"Yes, of course Sempai," she replies, as the twins walk back into the room, looking completely the same.
"Okay, so which one of us is Hikaru?" they ask together, both grinning.
"The one on my left is Hikaru," Kyoya says grinning a little. "Don't even try telling me i'm wrong either I know i'm right," shocking everyone but Haruhi, who already knew he could tell them apart.
"H, how long have you been able to tell the two of us apart?" the twins ask
'With a lot of help from Haruhi' he thinks "I've been watching you two in the club for a long time. I just finally figured it out around the same time Haruhi joined us." He lies, earning a small giggle from Haruhi, then turning to Tamaki. "Now that club activities are over for the day Tamaki didn't you say you wanted us all to have dinner together?" he asks his cold Shadow King Demeanor returning.
"Oh yes, right just let me call my limo." Tamaki mutters fumbling with his phone.
"No need mine's already outside, though if you still insist on keeping our location a secret. Might I suggest you go tell my driver our destination before the rest of us go down there." Kyoya tells him and with that Tamaki races out the door with his things. Sighing the rest of the club pack up their things and follow him out.
"Master Kyoya, good evening Sir Master Suoh is already seated inside." Tachibana bows as they all walk out of the school gate towards the limo.
"To where may I ask are we headed, or are you sworn to secrecy?" Kyoya asks already knowing the answer, as the twins get into the limo and Haruhi stands back a ways to listen.
"I am terribly sorry sir, but you know I never share anyone's secret with anyone no matter who they are." Tachibana bows stealing a quick glance with Haruhi, who only blinks. Kyoya understanding the hidden meaning in what he is saying only nods.
"Right let's go, after you Haruhi." He says waiting for her to get into the limo, before getting in himself.
"Right away sir," he says closing their door, getting into the driver's seat of the car, and driving off.
Haruhi found herself sitting next to Kyoya, which both pleased and scared her. So after a while she turns to Tamaki, "Sempai where are we actually going? Surely we can't eat anywhere of your choosing in our school uniforms." She asks 'though knowing him we're all headed to some commoner restaurant.'
"Quite right Haruhi, that's why I asked the devil twins to bring you something to wear." Tamaki tells her, as she watches the twins pull out a simple red evening gown she guessed of their mother's choosing. "When we reach the restaurant we will all head inside, while you stay in here to change."
"In your uniforms?" she asks skeptically
"Oh no my darling daughter we all brought suits with us in order to change in the facilities inside the restaurant." He explains
"Right," she mutters 'damn rich people' she hears Kyoya chuckle quietly beside her, making her wonder once again if he really could read minds.
"C'mon Tono where are we going?" the twins ask about five minutes later, both clearly bored.
"It's a surprise," he replies happily.
"Kyoya-sempai?" they ask turning to their Shadow King
"Unfortunately I don't know either, he made the reservation this morning without me knowing." Kyoya tells them, as Haruhi hears her phone go off, notifying her of a text. "I know this is hardly the time or place, but are you okay? You seem very tense and nervous-Kyoya."
'The hell-I didn't even see him pull his phone out.' She wonders immediately deleting the text in case one of the twins stole her phone from boredom and sent him a new one. "I'm fine I'm just a bit annoyed at not knowing where we're going and I guess I'm just tense because I feel like I keep moving closer to you without meaning to sorry-Haruhi. Deleting that message too she looks up to see the twins harassing Tamaki. Laughing to herself she hears her phone go off again.
"Not that I really mind, but I see your problem. Don't worry I'm sure we'll be there soon, besides no matter what happens tonight's dinner should go much better than last nights don't you think?-Kyoya"
"Bastard, I still feel horrible for yelling in front of your family, but I refuse to apologize for what I said-Haruhi"
"Ha like I expected you too, again my brothers deserved everything you told them last night. I actually feel like I need to thank you for saying what you did in a way you were standing up for me-Kyoya"
"And I would do it again if I had too, look Kyoya I'm not afraid of your family. I'm sorry, but none of them intimidate me you used too until we started dating, but not so much anymore-Haruhi"
"You realize how many people wish they could stand up to my family like you can-you really are a rare gem Haruhi and I love you for that-Kyoya"
"I love you too Kyoya and-oh god um Kyoya you may want to look up from your laptop and see where we are eating this evening-Haruhi" She sent deleting all of her messages as she sees the car turn down the street and head to the familiar building of Kyoya's restaurant. She watches Kyoya look confused for only a moment, as his face turned to realization.
"That damn idiot-Kyoya" she reads another text.
"Wasn't it announced last week to the staff who the owner is of the restaurant?-Haruhi"
"Yea, I'm going to have to talk to the staff before they say anything-Kyoya"
"So I'm guessing the public still doesn't know you're the owner?-Haruhi"
"That and most of the staff have seen both you and I dining here together often-Kyoya"
"Oh crap-Haruhi"
"Don't worry just stay out here and change. I'll find some way to talk to the staff without the others notice-Kyoya"
"Okay you know I trust you, good luck-Haruhi" She sends him a last text, as they turn into the restaurant's parking lot.
"Oh wow milord nice choice. We haven't been here since before it was bought out." The twins say looking at the building.
"Yes, though the current owner is unknown this place is one of the best places currently in the city to eat, so I figured only the best for a host club reunion with our dear Sempai's." Tamaki was saying
"Okay well Haruhi we'll get out of your way, come on inside when you are done changing." Kyoya tells her
"Yes of course, come on now you devil twins let's leave your sister so she can change." Tamaki says pushing the twins out of the limo and up to the front door.
Haruhi throws Kyoya a 'good luck' glance before he too, left the limo leaving her with only Tachibana, who had the privacy window up in order to let her change. "Tachibana-san you could have at least given Kyoya a little hint, as to where we were going." Haruhi growls beginning to undress.
"I wanted to Haruhi-sama, but I am sworn to secrecy." He replies "I just hope that Master Kyoya is able to handle the problem inside, but you and I both know he is capable of anything, am I right ma'am?"
"Yes, I suppose something like this is second nature to him." She sighs slipping into the dress, only to realize to her annoyance that she couldn't reach the zipper in the back. "Damn it, Tachibana-san could I ask you to zip me up I can't reach and I'm decent you can look." She asks 'those damn twins probably had this planned.'
"Of course ma'am," he replies opening the back window in order to help her.
"Thank you, I bet those twins planned that," she sighs pulling out a wig from the bag.
"Yes, those two can be quite…an interesting pair." He agrees as she begins to put on the matching flats and gloves.
'And a handbag, what am I some rich heiress?' she wonders realizing that's exactly what she looked like. Sighing she turns to Tachibana smiling, "Well wish us luck."
"Actually ma'am if I may be so frank. I'm really happy Master Kyoya has found someone and I'm happy it's you. I didn't realize it at first, but since the Ouran fair he has been a lot happier and I truly am happy for the two of you." He confesses
"Now you sound like Hotta-san," she laughs "But thank you and I'm happy Kyoya's bodyguards have accepted me so easily, though I can't believe you two didn't realize we were dating sooner."
"Neither can we," he mutters "Anyways good luck tonight."
"Thanks and don't forget I'm sworn to secrecy to, I can't thank you enough for actually letting me go into the house when Kyoya went to talk to his father." She winks, before leaving the limo and heading into the restaurant.
'An interesting girl that one' he thinks watching her disappear into the restaurant. 'Like I would have left you in the car that day, but I suppose I have you to thank for not getting me in trouble.'
As Haruhi enters the restaurant she immediately sees Kyoya talking to who she recognized as one of the managers alone already changed into his suit. 'I wonder where the others are' she wonders vaguely knowing Kyoya could have them trapped in the kitchens for all she knew.
"Haruhi-san it's good to see you again. Haven't seen you and Ootori-sama here in over a month." She hears a familiar voice coming up to stand beside her.
"Oh Yuki-san, yes it's good to see you too, but I'm afraid tonight we're here with friends and they don't know anything about Kyoya owning this restaurant, or about him and I seeing each other." She sighs
"Oh dear, then I'll make sure I'm your waiter tonight. I'm afraid everyone on staff here tonight knows you two are…together." He mutters.
"I was hoping you would offer to serve us tonight Yuki-san," Kyoya's cold voice came up behind the two of them, causing the two of them to jump up in alarm.
"Ootori-sama, I'm sorry I didn't hear you come over." Yuki apologizes trying to recover from his near heart attack.
"Jeez Kyoya, usually the temperature drops dramatically as a warning before you sneak up behind someone don't scare us like that." Haruhi says turning around to face him.
"Oh really Haruhi if you're that warm I could ask them to turn on the air." Kyoya retorts back smirking a bit at her.
"No need," she growls as he turns back to talk to Yuki.
"I have talked to your manager and he has agreed that you will be our best choice for a waiter this evening and I expect you to call me sir and the act like you don't know me or Haruhi understand?" he asks
"Yes of course sir, are you and your party ready to be seated?" he asks now acting professional.
"I'm afraid we are still waiting on two people and the other three members of our party are still changing," Kyoya replies
"When you are ready just let me know sir and I will have you seated immediately." Yuki bows walking away.
"When you say changing you mean they are locked up don't you?" Haruhi asks trying to hold in a laugh.
"Of course," he answers simply, as Haruhi lets out a small giggle.
"You never cease to amaze me, Hunny and Mori-sempai should be here any minute you know. Be nice and let the others out please?" she asks standing up on her toes to kiss him on the cheek.
"…fine I suppose they've been tortured enough." He sighs walking towards the changing rooms.
'Tortured, I wonder if he did something else to them' she wonders, as she watches him disappear around a corner.
Meanwhile outside two new college students had just watched the little exchange between their old club members. "Did you see that Takashi? Haru-chan kissed Kyo-chan." Hunny said excitedly from the top of Mori's shoulders.
"Mitsukuni it was only a peck on the cheek, for all we know it could have been completely innocent." Mori tries telling his cousin.
"But Kyo-chan didn't seem to mind. Did you see him just look at her and walk away?" Hunny asks
"Again it could have been completely innocent." Mori says sternly trying not to get his cousin's hopes up.
"But no one is around-"
"The staff is," Mori points out.
"Oh that's true, Kyo-chan wouldn't risk anything, but I'm still going to keep an eye on those two." Hunny argues as they walk into the building.
"Do what you want Mitsukuni," Mori sighs as they walk over to Haruhi, who hadn't noticed them yet.
"Haru-chan," Hunny cried happily, as she turns around recognizing Hunny's voice.
"Hunny-sempai, Mori-sempai it's good to see you both." She smiles as Hunny gets down from Mori's shoulders in order to give her a hug.
"Haru-chan you look so cute, if we didn't see you dress up all the time we wouldn't have recognized you." Hunny tells her letting her go.
"Well I'm used to it by now," she mutters under her breath.
"Where are the others Haruhi?" Mori asks knowing they all came together.
"Well Kyoya-sempai was just here, but the others…annoyed him let's say and he kind of locked them up in the changing rooms. I'm hoping he went to go let them out." Haruhi explains, as sure enough Kyoya walks back into the room with the others right behind him.
"Kyoya, you didn't have to lock us in our stalls with the lights off." Tamaki was complaining with the twins agreeing.
"If you three had simply shut up and behaved I wouldn't of had to, you're just lucky Haruhi convinced me there was benefit in letting the three of you out." Kyoya growls
"Aww, my daughter does love her daddy," Tamaki runs over to grab Haruhi into one of his bear hugs, earning stares from a lot of people in the room.
"Idiot," Kyoya snaps hitting Tamaki in the back of the head, as Mori helps her out of his arms.
"Haruhi, mommy hit me." Tamaki cries
"Sempai, just shut up please you're being annoying." Haruhi sighs watching as Tamaki runs off to a corner of woe. 'What he has one everywhere?' she thinks as Kyoya turns to Hunny and Mori.
"It's great to see the two of you again, though it's been less than a month since your graduation." He smiles at the two of them "So shall we sit down?" he asks calling Yuki over.
"Is your party ready sir?" he asks bowing.
"Yes I think so, come on Tamaki it's not like Haruhi's bluntness is anything new, get over it." Kyoya sighs
"He's right milord, c'mon we're starving." The twins say grabbing both of Tamaki's arms and dragging him with them.
"Right this way sir," Yuki bows again leading them to the private rooms in the back and thinking, 'Wow Ootori-sama and Haruhi-san are really good at keeping their act together around these guys.'
'Just how big is this place?' Haruhi wonders as they enter, yet another room full of people dining. 'Hopefully we'll be in a private room. It seems no matter where we go when we are all together we end up creating a scene.' Kyoya, she notes seems to be thinking the same thing as they enter a private room with a table big enough for ten and sit down.
Overall dinner wasn't bad Haruhi notes, besides a few annoying outbursts from Tamaki and the twins trying to feed her their dinners. It was nice to catch up with Hunny and Mori, who said the classes they were taking at university weren't really any different than high school except that after class they didn't get a chance to hang out with the host club.
"I don't know about Takashi, but I will come to visit on Wednesday it's a short day." Hunny tells them downing his fourth piece of cake.
"Great I will let our customers know and be sure to have plenty of sweets stocked for you." Kyoya tells him sending yet another text to Haruhi. "I'm getting a feeling that Hunny-sempai sat us across from one another for a reason, he keeps looking from me to you-Kyoya"
She reads the text and looks up to see that, sure enough Hunny was looking at her and quickly turns away. "He couldn't possibly know anything could he?-Haruhi" she sent back immediately deleting the text, as the twins grab her phone.
"Hey Haruhi," they ask flipping it open. "You've been on your phone like this whole time are you talking to someone?" they ask looking through her messages.
"No," she lies really glad Kyoya talked her into deleting a text as soon as she sent or received one.
"Are you lying to us?" they ask
"No, just give it back you two." She growls
"Then what have you been doing?" they ask
"It doesn't concern the two of you, now give it back." She argues
"You are so boring today Haruhi, you won't tell us anything we're friends right?" they ask, Kaoru finally giving in and handing her phone back.
"Yes, look you are two of my best friends, but I'm sorry there are some things that I really don't think you two should concern yourselves over." She tells them looking at her phone to see three new texts all from Kyoya. 'How did those two not notice these?' she wonders not daring to open them up quite yet. "Besides I'm sure there are still things all of you are keeping from me, so it shouldn't matter right?" she asks earning five stares-except for of course Kyoya, who she expected already knew every about her.
"Oh Haruhi i'm so sorry, here let me tell you everything about daddy starting from when I lived in France with my mother." Tamaki says finally.
"Tono I don't think that's what she meant and sorry Haruhi you're right. We have secrets so why shouldn't you." Kaoru says seriously.
"Yea, sorry," Hikaru mutters agreeing with his brother.
"Guys it's okay I didn't expect an apology, or any of this for that matter I just don't think I need to tell you everything." She tries to tell them, as they all start apologizing.
"Okay, Haru-chan do you want some of this cake?" Hunny asks smiling over to her in an attempt to change the subject.
"No thank you Sempai I'm full," she tells him looking down at her phone to see yet another text in addition to the other three. Sighing she opens them all up.
"I don't think Hunny-sempai knows anything, but I'll keep my eye on him just in case-Kyoya."
"Don't worry I set up your phone to only allow you to read texts from me-Kyoya."
"Nice save, but I didn't expect their reactions to be quite like that-Kyoya."
"You know I'm surprised we've been having these serious conversations using our phones and our best friends are right next to us unaware of what we are actually doing right now and right under their noses-Kyoya."
Laughing to herself she sends him another text, "Nice, that saves me the trouble of having to delete all of them and I didn't expect their reactions either my bad I suppose. And you're right this is kind of funny when you think about it, but it's the same as us keeping this whole thing a secret for almost a year now-Haruhi."
"Here you are sirs it's been a pleasure serving you and I can take this whenever you are ready." Yuki says placing the check on the table.
"Oh you don't have to leave here," Tamaki tells him handing him his card.
"Thank you sir I'll be right back," he bows as Haruhi hears her phone go off again.
"Looks like it's about time to leave are you done?-Kyoya"
"Yes of course, whenever the rest of you are-Haruhi" she sent as Yuki returned with Tamaki's card.
"It's been a pleasure serving you all, and I hope to see you all again soon." Yuki bows catching Haruhi's eye, as he walks away.
"That place was great." the twins say as they all head outside.
"Yes truly a great restaurant, whoever now owns this place is doing a great job at running it." Tamaki says, causing Haruhi to burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about all of the fun times I've had since joining this club." She lies looking at Kyoya, who she figures already knows what she was really laughing about.
"None of us would be here tonight if you hadn't been forced to join us Haruhi, so I suppose we have you to thank for keeping us all together." Kyoya says shocking everyone.
"We're all about to die aren't we?" Kaoru asks
"Since when does our Shadow King have something nice to say to anyone?" Hikaru continues
"Oh come on you two Kyo-chan's right if it wasn't for Haru-chan who knows where the club would be today." Hunny tells them wondering if there was a hidden message in what Kyoya had just told them.
"Ah," Mori agrees
"So Haruhi really does enjoy spending her time in the host club," Tamaki mutters half to himself.
"Sempai I already told you once that I love being in the host club, how many times do I really need to say it?" she asks
"So let's suppose that your debt was paid off, would you stay?" Kyoya asks moving to stand in front of her.
"Yes Sempai I would," she answers smiling up to him. "That is if you would still want me to stay."
"Of course," everyone but Kyoya says almost immediatly
She almost expected him to tell her that her debt was paid, but he only grins and walks away. "Oh our ride's here; I guess I'll see you all at the end of the week at some time." Hunny says smiling.
"It seems our ride's here too," Kyoya mutters waving good-bye to Hunny and Mori, as they get into their car and drive off.
After dropping off the twins at their place, Tamaki begins to complain about not being allowed to take his 'daughter' home with 'mother.' "Tamaki your place is closer to the twin's then Haruhi's it makes a lot more sense to drop you off then take Haruhi home." Kyoya argues, as Suoh Mansion 2 came into view.
"Just promise that you will get our daughter home safely," Tamaki asks slowly getting out of the car.
"Of course Tamaki, you have my word." Kyoya sighs as his door closes, leaving the two of them alone.
"Finally," Haruhi sighs, as the car drives off again
"What are you happy to be alone with me?" he asks smirking.
"I'm always happy to be alone with you." She states "it's not that I don't love everyone else, but you can only take them all for a certain amount of time, before you realize just how annoying they all are together.
"So I'm an exception?" Kyoya asks curiously taking off his glasses
"Of course I'm always happy to be left alone with you, though I say that, and I realize how many people in my position would wonder if I was sane." She laughs, as he moves over to sit next to her.
"I can be terrifying if you want me to be," he mutters grabbing her wrists and once again throwing her underneath him.
"Again-, you know this time I have no information for you and I still refuse to tell you what happened between me and Fuyumi." She laughs.
"You are becoming increasingly difficult to scare." He smirks "And besides you do have a little bit of information I want."
"Oh yeah, what's that?" she asks
"The twins were bothering me earlier and it got me to thinking." He smiles a devil grin "So, remind me again who was it that you kissed?"
"I thought that subject was dropped completely?" she asks laughing
"Only to the rest of the club, now remind me who it was you kissed?" he asks
"What do you not trust me; you know the only man I've ever kissed is currently hovering over me." She giggles
"Yes and shall I remind you how our first kiss went?" he asks
"As I recall our first kiss was in the clubroom and not in the back of your limo." She smirks, "I'm beginning to think that you just enjoy having me underneath you."
"You are correct on both of those statements Haruhi, though that isn't really the issue right now." He smirks "Are you going to allow me to kiss you, or are we just going to sit like this until we reach your apartment?"
"I suppose we've both waited long enough today," she smiles as he releases her wrists, so she could wrap them around his neck. "Is that better Kyoya?" she asks bringing his head closer to her own.
"Much," he says leaning down to kiss her, extremely happy that he was the only boy to ever get this kind of reaction from her. The kiss wasn't at all what he had been expecting instead of Haruhi's usually sweet tasting lips he could only taste the want for more passion; the kiss quickly became more fierce when he decided to give her what she wanted. With her lips parted slightly he bit down softly on her bottom lip giving him access to move his tongue into her mouth and begin to explore earning a small moan from her, all while she slipped her tongue into his, also causing him to moan with pleasure. When the need for air became too great he pulls back and quickly got off of her in order to let her breath.
"Well that was-"she begins getting up to sit beside him and trying to calm her heart rate
"Amazing," he finishes, as he watches her nod in agreement.
"It was certainly…different than what we normally do, but not at all uninvited." She laughs leaning up beside him, as they felt the car begin to slow down. "Seems like you timed that perfectly." Amazed once again at his ability to predict things.
"So it would seem." He smirks, as the car came to a complete stop in front of her apartment.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." She smiles kissing him again on the lips.
"Not the same?" he asks laughing inwardly, as she pulled away with a small frown on her face.
"No, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to get it right again." She smiles leaving the limo. "I'll see you tomorrow Kyoya." She waves, before heading up to her apartment.
'Yes, I plan to do that again and get it perfect next time.' He thinks making sure she got into her apartment, before telling Tachibana to drive home.
When Kyoya walked into his house he sees Akito coming down the stairs. "Kyoya you're home late, long night with your girlfriend?" he asks reaching the bottom.
"No I was having dinner with the club and she has a name you know." Kyoya tells him handing a maid his coat. "Besides don't you have a night shift Akito-niisan?"
"I'm on my way to the hospital now, wouldn't want little brother to have his information wrong." He sneers
"My information is always correct." Kyoya states "I just didn't want you to keep all of the young nurses and doctors at the hospital waiting." Knowing his older brother was a bit of a womanizer, though never in the presence of their father.
"No I'm quite over them, besides there is a much more interesting and feisty young woman who's already practically family." He mutters to Kyoya, before grabbing his coat and walking out the door.
Kyoya just stands at the foot of the stairs too shocked to even move at what his brother had just implied. 'He can't be serious, but then again Akito-niisan isn't too old for Haruhi.' He thinks wandering up the stairs and into his room. 'Great first almost the whole host club, then Kasanoda-kun, now my own brother. The hell-when did Akito-niisan even start taking an interest in her? Damn it what is it with this family and being taken with someone as soon as they are yelled at?" he wonders wishing what his brother had told him was just an act, but after knowing how he played knew he was dead serious.
Finding his room he walks in to find it just as he left it this morning before he left. "Haruhi stop making people fall for you without even knowing it.' He sighs throwing his bag on the couch and sitting down on it, before taking his laptop out and placing it on the table. Taking out his phone he looks through all the messages from Haruhi he received that night. "She's chosen me over the others more than once, so why is it I'm still worried?' he wonders deleting all the messages, though knowing no one would have enough guts to ever take his phone from him. Sending Haruhi a quick text he turns on his computer.
His phone goes off before he can even log on. "I love you too Kyoya, good-night-Haruhi." Smiling to himself he logs on to his laptop and begins working on his school assignments for the next month in order to distract him.
