Kyoya was in the midst of solving a calculus problem on the board when a familiar ringtone went off on his phone. 'Akito-niisan, what does he want?' he wonders quickly finishing the problem and turning to his teacher to get permission to leave. "Shiraki-sensei I'm afraid I have an important call I have to take, may I leave for a moment?"
"Of course Ootori-san, but I expect you back in no more than five minutes." She tells him sternly, knowing that he gets some kind of phone call about twice a month from someone during her class.
"Thank you ma'am," he bows before leaving the classroom quickly to answer the call. "This better be important Nii-san, my sensei is getting sick of having me leave the classroom."
"Well since I couldn't get ahold of her father, I figured her current boyfriend would be the next best thing." Akito snaps.
"If you're taking about her being sick, I know that I already sent Tachibana to take her to the hospital." Kyoya sighs, knowing his brother was talking about Haruhi and leaning against the wall across from his classroom.
"Kyoya," Akito mutters trying to stay calm. "…There was an accident at the hospital Haruhi-san is currently in the emergency room."
"What, what the hell happened?" Kyoya asks going very pale and trying to resist the urge to yell at his brother, in case someone was around.
"I'm sorry, but to be honest I'm afraid of what you reaction is going to be and I don't want you causing a scene at school. You're just going to have to come to the hospital right away, I've already called the school and you've been cleared to leave. Tachibana is also waiting for you outside the school. I'll see you in about forty-five minutes Kyoya." Akito finishes hanging up the phone.
"Nii-san, Nii-san…dammit," Kyoya snaps ending the call 'It must be really serious if Nii-san's actually calling me by my name.' he sighs realizing he is sitting on the floor and staring at his phone, his brother's words coming back to mind. "There was an accident at the hospital; Haruhi-san is currently in the emergency room." 'What the hell happened?' he wonders, as the door to his classroom opened up and revealing his teacher looking at him.
"Ootori-san, the office just called and apparently your brother wants you to go to the hospital right away." She tells him.
"Right just let me grab my bag," he says getting up and putting back on his usual cold mask.
"I am curious as to why two members of the Ootori family called our school in order to get you out of class though." She mutters, as he reached where she was standing.
"Two?" he blinks
"Yes, apparently your father called as soon as your brother hung up." She tells him
Curiously Kyoya looked down at his phone to see one missed call from his father. 'He must have called as I was talking with Nii-san.' He thinks before turning to his teacher, "I have to take a very sick family friend to the hospital." He explains to her before going into the classroom.
"Kyoya is everything okay?" Tamaki asks, as Kyoya grabs his things and trying to look calm.
"Everything is fine Tamaki…I'm simply taking Haruhi to my family's hospital." He lies knowing that was believable, after all the entire club knew she was sick.
"Oh well take care of our little girl mother." Tamaki says loud enough for the people beside them to hear him and look at Tamaki as if he was insane, as Kyoya finishes grabbing his things and head to the door.
'Moron,' Kyoya sighs only waving to Tamaki to let him know he heard him not trusting himself to say anything at the moment, still not knowing what the situation was at the hospital.
"I hope your friend will be okay Ootori-san." His teacher tells him before he left the room.
'I do too,' he thinks racing out of the school to see Tachibana waiting for him.
When he arrives at the hospital he sees Akito waiting for him outside in front of the doors. "Akito-niisan, how is she?" he asks running over to him.
"I don't know Nii-san is looking her over as we speak."
'Yuuichi-niisan,' Kyoya thinks going pale again, knowing his brother usually only dealt with serious cases. "What in the hell happened?" he asks angrily not caring about the people watching the pair of them curiously.
"…she was stabbed," he answers simply.
Going even paler Kyoya asks trying to stay calm, "In a hospital? How, what happened?"
"I'm sorry, but I think it would be best if I show you what happened to her." Akito sighs leading him inside.
"Then you got it on video?" Kyoya asks
"Yes, father is getting the disk from the security company now."
"You're not telling me something Nii-san, what is it?" Kyoya asks watching his brother stop to turn around and face him.
"Like I told you over the phone I'm afraid of what your reaction is going to be once you find out, so I'll just let you see what happened." He mutters
"You telling me that only leads me to believe you had something to do with it." Kyoya snaps
"You haven't told him yet Akito?" a cold voice asks from behind them.
"Welcome back father," Akito bows slightly "No I haven't told him anything yet."
"Except that she was stabbed," Kyoya snaps again
"Calm down Kyoya, I have the video right here." Yoshio tells his son holding up a disk. "Let's go to my office and see what happened to Miss Fujioka." He says leading them into the elevator to head up to his office.
"Father, do you have any idea what happened, or am I the only one being left in the dark." Kyoya asks
"I'm afraid I didn't even know she was stabbed until you muttered it downstairs a few moments ago, so at this point I know as much as you do." Yoshio answers him "But I have to wonder why you are so insistent that we watch what happened Akito, instead of just telling us?"
"I apologize father, but I don't know how to tell you, while it's true I was in the room when it happened I don't know how to explain what Haruhi-san did." Akito sighs "At least not in a way that I can tell the two of you."
'Haruhi-san, since when has Nii-san ever called her that?' Kyoya wonders as the elevator finally stopped on the top floor and Yoshio leads them into his office, only stopping to tell his secretary to hold all of his calls.
"Kyoya, set this in the DVD player would you?" he asks handing him the disk and closing the door behind them.
"Yes father," Kyoya mutters turning on his father's computer and setting everything up, as Akito moves to a corner of the room.
"Out of curiosity father what did the people at the security company say when they gave you the disk?" Akito asks, as the disk began to load.
"Only that the girl in the video is very brave and must really care a lot for the boy she saved and his family." Yoshio mutters moving over to stand behind his chair, as Kyoya nervously pressed play and realized there was no sound on the disk.
The video began with Akito and a man, Kyoya recognizes as the owner of a very successful computer software company whose wife and daughter had died very early that morning, seemingly arguing. Moments pass and Kyoya sees the already open door reveal a confused Haruhi wandering slowly into the room. Akito then, seems to welcome her in and has her sit in a chair next to his desk. The man in the chair then says something; Akito sighs and turns around to grab something off his desk. The man then says something else and reaches into his pocket to pull out something Kyoya can't see. Haruhi seems to say something, then Akito, Haruhi again, and before Kyoya knows it she leaps out of the chair pushing Akito out of the way, as something stabs her in the side. Akito then runs over to her shouting something while pulling out his phone and begins to dial, as the man, looking stunned runs out of the room in a hurry and the screen goes black.
"What the hell," Yoshio snaps turning to Akito
Kyoya simply stares at the screen to shocked to even say anything. 'Damn it Haruhi, how can you do this type of thing again' he wonders.
"I'm sorry father for not telling you, but how does one even begin explaining that he was saved because someone was paying attention and he wasn't." Akito says closing his eyes and ready to be slapped.
"There wasn't anything you could have done I understand that, but why on earth would she risk her well-being to save another?" Yoshio asks still angry.
"That's just the way Haruhi is, this isn't the first time she's done something like this." Kyoya mutters, still not looking away from the black screen.
"Not the first time, what happened before?" Akito asks turning to his brother.
"She-"Kyoya starts, but is cut off when Yuuichi walks into the room.
"I thought I'd find you three in here, sorry if I'm interrupting something father." He bows
"How is she?" all three ask in unison, Kyoya finally getting up from the computer.
"She's stable, but really weak. Amazingly there aren't to many serious injuries, a few broken ribs, but the knife didn't cause any iternal bleeding or even puntured anything really serious. The wound was just very deep and needed a lot of stitches. The cold she had before the stabbing isn't helping her heal as quickly as we want, so we are going to have to keep her here in the hospital for a while. Fujioka-san is extremely lucky the wound wasn't as deep, or as bad as we first thought." He answers then turning to Akito "And I want to know what happened Akito, you call me up to your office in a hurry and I find Fujioka-san bleeding with half a knife in her side, what the hell happened to her?" he asks angrily
"Of course Nii-san, it's all on the disk in the computer." Akito tells him gesturing to his father's desk.
"Yuuichi-niisan, is it okay if I go see her?" Kyoya asks letting him sit down.
"I don't see why not, she's been muttering 'Kyoya, I'm sorry' for the past hour. I assume you're the one she wants to see… or not, just don't yell at her Kyoya she's still really weak." He sighs wondering vaguely if it was such a good idea to let her see Kyoya, as he finds the video.
"What does she have to apologize for?" Yoshio asks looking to Kyoya.
"How would I know?" he asks annoyed
"Actually Haruhi-san was muttering something before she passed out." Akito says
"Which was what?" the other three ask Yuuichi even looking up from the screen. Kyoya making a mental note to just stay quiet in order to never talk in unison with his family ever again.
"Kyoya I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to you." He repeated her words.
Suddenly it hit Kyoya what she was sorry for, and was angry with himself for not even remembering the promise she had made to him. "Damn it Haruhi, don't make me remember that agreement now of all times." He mutters under his breath. "Yuuichi-niisan what room is she in?"
"If she's out of the emergency room. She should be in room 1137." He answers starting the video.
"Thank you," he bows leaving the room quickly and catching the elevator to go down only a few floors.
"Wonder what the hell that girl's so sorry about," Yuuichi mutters starting the video again.
"Most likely a promise she made to him after they began going out." Akito mutters as he watches his older brother's face as he sees the video.
"What the hell Akito," Yuuichi snaps, as the video finishes "I hope you at least caught Mr. Takaya after he fled."
"He is currently in custody," Yoshio confirms
"You are extremely lucky Fujioka-san was in that room the knife only cracked a few of her ribs. If you had been stabbed you would have been paralyzed or dead." Yuuichi snaps
"Is that how close it was?" Yoshio asks
"Yes, but playing this again I think the knife would've went deeper in Fujioka-san if Mr. Takaya hadn't realized he got the wrong person." He explains "As soon as he stabbed Fujioka-san he let go of the knife."
"You caught all that with one view?" Akito asks realizing just how much he owed Haruhi
"No, it looks to me like Kyoya is the one who figured it out first. " Yuuichi smirks "This part of the tape was already slowed. All I had to do was watch the knife."
"That girl is becoming more and more desirable," Akito laughs "For all I know she knew he meant to kill me, so that's why she intervened."
"So she risked her well-being for another," Yuuichi mutters "You know you can never have her Akito. She may have saved your life, but it's Kyoya she loves."
"I know that, but to think if she wasn't in our lives right now I could have been dead an hour ago and not even here."
"Instead your little brother's girlfriend risked her life to save yours…Kind of strange isn't it?" Yuuichi sighs getting up "Well I should go check on her and make sure Kyoya isn't causing her any stress."
"Hold on a moment Yuuich," Yoshio says before he reaches the door.
"What is it father?"
"I asked both of you a few months ago what you thought of the object I was thinking about giving to Kyoya?" he asks watching as they nod their heads. "Back then you weren't sure, but after these recent events her performance at the ball with Miss Yakunga and her bravery today I want to ask you both your opinions now."
"No one deserves it more than Kyoya and Fujioka-san father," Yuuichi states
"I agree she reminds me so much of mother honest, blunt, and yet really kind-hearted. I have no objections of you giving it to the pair of them." Akito tells him
"And this is your final decision?" Yoshio asks
"Yes father," they chorused
"Very well, then I will give it to Kyoya later today. Now both of you should go and check on Miss Fujioka and Akito I expect you to take damn good care of her." He tells them
"Of course father you don't have to tell me that," Akito bows following his brother out of the office.
Kyoya stood in front of a door labeled 1137 and found himself not able to go in. He knew she was okay, but when his brother told him she was stable what did that mean? He was afraid to see her lying in a bed and looking so helpless, but he wanted to see her. He wanted to see for himself that she was still alive and all right, so as he was about to knock the door opened to reveal a nurse coming out of the room.
"Oh Ootori-sama my apologies," she stammers moving out of the way to allow him to see into the private room usually only used by very important patients, but this being Haruhi she was being given very special treatment. He wanders into the room without a word, and the nurse quietly leaves shutting the door behind her.
He was used to seeing people in hospital beds, but as his eyes wander over to the small figure in the bed with, thankfully only a single tube connected to her left arm he still found it really hard to find his voice. "Haruhi," he murmurs moving closer over to the bed.
"Kyoya-"he hears her mutter, as he watches her open her eyes lazily.
"Good lord, I told you not to worry me like that." He says taking her outstretched hand in his.
"I broke my promise to you," she sighs sitting up slightly allowing him to see how heavily bandaged the left side of her body was. "I'm truly sorry,"
"First the cliff, then the chandelier, now you take a knife for my brother what am I supposed to keep doing with you Haruhi." He sighs
"You realize both of those things happened well over a year ago." She laughs weakly
"Yeah and even though it's been over a year you somehow remember a promise you made to me the first day we began going out." He points out.
"That's true…"
"Honestly I expected you to break your promise to me a lot sooner than this," he admits "But I never expected you to end up in the hospital."
"You had that little faith in me?" she asks, humor in her voice.
"Only at first, but after today…I truly have to thank you. I'm sure the rest of my family realizes this by now, but had you not done what you did Akito-niisan would be paralyzed or dead." He tells her before continuing, "and though I will never admit it in front of him I am very happy that you saved him."
"I know," she smiles "Remember you hide your face behind a mask, but I know what's behind it. I knew you would be upset if anything happened to any of your family. You care for them and it's one of the reasons I love you."
"Simply because I care for my family?" he laughs
"Hey, after my mother died I only had my father and I always wished I had siblings."
"Actually speaking of families, your father is off on a business trip correct?" he asks
"Like you don't already know that." She laughs "He comes home tomorrow night if you want to let him know where I am. Your brother tells me I won't be able to leave the hospital for about a week and a half, or longer I wasn't really paying attention."
"Then I'll let Ranka know what happened tomorrow…now what am I going to do about the host club?" he mutters half to himself
"Are you sure we can keep our relationship a secret anymore after this?" she asks "After all, i'm not supposed to know Akito-san."
"If we plan this out carefully yes, but I need you to go along with me." He tells her seriously
"I always do," she smiles
"Okay well the rest of the club has no idea you know my brother at all, so I'll just change the story a bit and tell them it was me you saved." He starts to explain, before she can protest he continues. "They already know I'm 'escorting' you to one of my family's hospitals because of your cold, so really it won't be hard to convince them of that."
"So in other words you are going to let the rest of the club think that you are just being protective of me because I saved your life. And in reality you are going to be acting like you do with me every day?" she asks
"You're beginning to catch on far too quickly on these plans," he smirks kissing the top of her head.
"I've learned from the best," she smiles as a shot of pain courses through her body, only causing her to grimace slightly and clutch her injured side.
"Are you okay?" he asks concern in his voice
"I'm fine, don't worry." She assures him as the pain subsides slightly, "You should go call Tamaki-sempai, before we have three concerned hosts trying to find out which of your hospitals I'm in."
"Five," he corrected remembering Hunny and Mori-sempai were visiting today. "You're right though I'll be back as soon as I talk to them." He assures her standing up and walking over to the door.
"It's not like I'll be going anywhere," she laughs weakly, as he closes the door behind him.
"Kyoya, how is she feeling?" Yuuichi asks, as he enters the hallway.
"Well she's awake, but before she asked me to go do call someone for her she was groaning and clutching her side like she was in pain." Kyoya tells him, seeing Akito, also coming around the corner
"Yes, well it is time for her to take her pain medications so if you'll excuse me." Yuuichi nods to him before stepping into her room.
"I saw the video Kyoya and I…want to thank you." Akito sighs bowing slightly
"What are you thanking me for? Haruhi is the one who saved your life." He points out
"And I will thank her in a moment, but who was the one who asked her out and introduced her to the family? He smirks "I also want to apologize to you for making Haruhi-san protect me in the first place."
"It was her choice and since both of you appear to be fine let's just move from there." Kyoya sighs pulling out his phone "Besides in the end Haruhi made the decision to help you, so whatever I have to say to you is meaningless."
"So I guess I should in and see her then."
"Yes, you should."
"Kyoya"
What is it Nii-san?"
"I'm going to start being very protective of her, but I realize she loves you so I give up, she's all yours."
"She's always been mine," Kyoya states before Akito finally walks into her room closing the door behind him. Sighing he opens his phone up and dials Tamaki's number.
"Hello?" he hears Tamaki's voice
"Moron it's me, do you ever check your caller id?" he asks before leaning up against the wall still facing Haruhi's room.
"Kyoya good to hear from you. We were all getting worried and were just about to head out to the hospital."
"Tamaki, is everyone there?"
"Yeah, we're all here in the clubroom why?"
"Put your phone on speaker I really don't want to have to repeat what I'm about to say to everyone."
"….Okay you're on speaker Kyoya everyone can hear you now."
"What's up Kyoya-sempai?" He recognizes the twin's voices
"Kyo-chan why aren't you back yet?" He hears the unmistakable voice of Hunny and only the usual grunt from Mori.
"Look…Haruhi is going to be staying here for a while, so don't come over here until I give you clearance all right?" He tells them, for once the words not coming out the way he wants them to.
"What why can't I see my precious daughter Kyoya?" Tamaki of course asks
"Oh I see Kyoya-sempai-"Kaoru
"Wants to spend some time with Haruhi alone," Hikaru finishes. Kyoya knew that was only to make Tamaki mad, but at the same time he couldn't help but think that the twins were right, in their own way, after all he was the one who sent Haruhi to the hospital in the first place.
"But if he wanted to do that, then why didn't he just take her to his house to take care of her. I mean she was sick right?" Hunny asks in his usual innocent voice.
"I wish I'd never brought her here in the first place." Kyoya snaps, again realizing how much of the truth that really was. As much as he cared for his brother he wished it weren't Haruhi who had to save him. He wished it weren't her sitting in a hospital bed trying to act strong, by pretending she wasn't feeling any pain at all.
It was silent for a few moments, as the others wondered what made their Shadow King so upset. Tamaki, to no one's real surprise, spoke up first, "Kyoya…did something happen what's wrong?"
"She just saved my life," he lies simply, while trying to bury the feelings he never meant to put in the last thing he had told them. In truth he never meant to yell at them, he was just frustrated and at the same time was feeling guilty for sending her here.
Another few moments of silence greeted him before all hell broke loose, "What do you mean she saved your life?" The twins ask.
"Is Haru-chan all right?" Hunny asks concern in his voice.
"Mother, what happened to our little Haruhi?" Tamaki asks trying to keep his composure.
"Kyoya…what happened?" Mori's voice calm, but with a hint of panic in his voice
"…She was with me at the hospital, when a man walked out of my brother's office. He was obviously delusional and mad, when my brother stepped out of his office and greeted myself and Haruhi. The man Mr. Takaya recognized me as being one of the owners of the hospital and pulled out a knife I didn't see until Haruhi pushed me out of the way and took the blow herself." He explained as calmly as he could. "She is currently stable, but I don't want any of you coming by until she can see other people. I'm sorry, but she is really weak right now and can hardly stand up."
"Kyoya that's-"
"I don't want to hear how it's too hard to believe Tamaki; you know she would have done the same thing for any of us." He snaps, wondering why, once again he was yelling at them.
"It's true Haru-chan would do the same for any of us, but right now she did it for you Kyo-chan because she felt she needed to." Hunny was saying.
Too scared to say anything else that may reveal anything Kyoya tells them, "Look sorry, but my brother is calling me I'll talk to you all tomorrow. Since I assume both Hunny and Mori-sempai will visit again?"
"Of course Kyo-chan, take care of Haru-chan." Hunny says, before Kyoya hung up.
'Fantastic, now they think I've snapped.' He sighs walking back over to Haruhi's room. "But for all know I have." Opening the door he sees Haruhi laughing with Akito, who was sitting next to her. Yuuichi was on the other side looking at a file and biting his lip like he does when he's thinking seriously. To his surprise his father was also in the room standing over by the window. 'Wow, I don't think all of us have ever been in the same room together and looking almost normal.' He thinks moving over to the bed. "Feeling all right Haruhi?"
"A bit, whatever is in that pain medication is really starting to work." She smiles
"It's a shame your fever won't go down at all though," Yuuichi sighs closing the file and setting it back on the small desk in the corner.
"Is that because of her cold?" Kyoya asks
"Yes and the only thing I can think of to help with that is sleep. There's no point in giving her a flu shot since she already has the disease." Yuuichi sighs
"Chicken soup usually helps get rid of a cold too." Haruhi speaks up, only to be met with three pairs of eyes staring at her blankly. "What? Oh come on none of you have had chicken soup to get rid of a cold? What do you usually do?"
"We don't get sick Haruhi and if one of us does we come to the hospital." Kyoya answers simply
"Damn rich people," she mutters, earning chuckles around the room.
"Chicken soup…it sounds disgusting." Akito comments
"It's really not as bad as you think. All it has in it is chicken pieces, noodles, some vegetables, and the broth." She tells them
"Will it help bring down a fever?" Yuuichi asks
"Yes, that and sleep can usually help a lot for a cold." She says
"Right I'll be back," Yuuichi says leaving the room
"What did I say?" she asks
"Relax he probably went to order you some soup from the kitchen." Akito tells her
What? I didn't mean I wanted any." She says
"We know it's just we need your fever to start coming down." Kyoya says "And I've never seen you decline food before."
"Oh shut up," she sighs, as Kyoya only smirks.
"Kyoya I'd like to talk to you for a moment." Yoshio tells him moving over to the door.
"Of course father," he replies almost forgetting his father was even in the room. Turning to leave he looks over to Akito, who is still sitting next to the bed.
"I'll make sure nothing happens to her Kyoya, I promise." Akito mutters
Trusting his brother to keep his word he follows his father out the door and into another private room down the hall. "Is something the matter father?" he asks closing the door behind them.
"I won't keep you long Kyoya I know how much of a shock this has been for you." Yoshio tells him
"I'm used to her doing things like this, but I never thought it would end with her in a hospital like this." He admits "As long as I know she will be okay I'll be fine."
Yoshio has to resist the urge to ask what Haruhi had done in the past, so he only asks "I wanted to ask you what you want me to do about the media. A stabbing at a hospital isn't common, but it has happened in the past."
"You're still willing to help us keep it a secret?" he asks
"She just saved my son's life, there isn't much I wouldn't do for you and your girlfriend right now." He says catching Kyoya off guard. He had never heard his father sound so…grateful to anyone before.
"Can you just make it so the media thinks it was me Haruhi saved?" He asks
"Is that your cover story for your friends in that club of yours?"
"Yes, they think Haruhi saved my life."
"Because she isn't supposed to know Akito? Let alone have any reason to save him?"
"Yes," Kyoya confirms surprised his father caught on so quickly, but at the same time this was the man who taught him how to manipulate people so well.
"Easily done, is there anything else?" he asks
"Can you make it so only her family can see her for about a week? I don't want the rest of the club coming in and bothering her when she needs to focus on healing." He asks
"By family, you mean her father and us?
"Yes"
"Very well, anything else?"
"…no, that's it." Kyoya tells him thinking it over "thank you"
"It's no problem, but there was another reason I wanted to talk to you."
"What is it?"
"Here," Yoshio says throwing a small velvet box to him. "Both of your brothers and I agree you and Haruhi deserve it." He says, as Kyoya opens the small box to reveal a very old 18k white gold engagement ring princess cut. A small sapphire was placed in the center surrounded by small diamonds.
"This is-" Kyoya mutters
"Yes, it's your mother's engagement ring. It's been in the family for ages. Ordinarily it should go Yuuichi, but he said it should go to you. Akito said the same thing and I agree with both of them." Yoshio tells him, as Kyoya closes it and pockets it.
"Thank you father, really." He says holding out his hand.
"Of course," he says taking his son's outstretched hand and shaking it. "I'm not going to tell you when you have to ask her, but I do want that girl in the family at some point."
"Father, I've wanted to ask her since the day you approved of our relationship, but I'm willing to be patient. She isn't ready yet and I'm not going to push it." He admits
"I wouldn't expect you too, besides some woman are hard to convince to settle down at all." Yoshio laughs
"Mother being one of them?" he asks
"Your mother probably being the main one." He sighs looking at his watch "Well I have to go, I'll be sure to talk to the media before the story airs." He promises walking over to the door.
"Thank you again father," Kyoya bows
"It's no problem, give Haruhi-san my best." He says before closing the door behind him, leaving Kyoya alone in the room one hand still around the small box in his pocket.
'Well that was unexpected,' he thinks, before heading back to Haruhi's room. When he opened the door he sees Haruhi asleep in the bed, a half finished bowl of soup on the stand next to her. Yuuichi was nowhere to be found and Akito had taken his father's place by the window. "Did she just get tired?" he asks him.
"We had to put her to sleep, when she started eating the pain began coming back worse than before." He explains "Nii-san went to go get another prescription for her to take, before you ask we know it wasn't the soup. I just don't think she can keep any kind of food down right now."
"Did she throw up?" Kyoya asks moving to sit next to her.
"No, but she wanted to." He sighed "We put her to sleep shortly after that." When Kyoya turned to look at him questionably he explained "Before you arrived here it was a lot worse. I was in the emergency room with Nii-san, before I couldn't take it anymore. She woke up several times during the operation and was throwing up. We couldn't risk her doing that again when the pain medication is trying to get in her system and without any food in her stomach it's hard."
"Which is why I'm going to try giving her these," Yuuichi's voice said from the doorway. Kyoya turns to face him and sees his brother holding a small bottle. "They're food tablets," he explains going over to the bed.
"They won't be enough," Kyoya comments
"No, but they will be enough for the pain medication to take more effect." Yuuichi tells him "Our main priority right now is getting some food in her, if this is what it takes then we just have to take it."
"She shouldn't wake up again for about an hour though," Akito says "You can't just force a pill down someone's throat."
"Relax, these aren't like pills Akito. She can take these whenever she needs to." He tells him
"So in other words give her a few of these to take when she wakes up, then let her take her pain medication and hopefully she can keep it down?" Kyoya asks
"Exactly," Yuuichi says
"Think it'll work?" Akito asks
"I really hope so, I'm running out of ideas." Yuuichi sighs handing the small bottle to Kyoya. "That being said, Akito and I have a meeting to get to with father across town in twenty minutes. Kyoya can I ask you to have Miss Fujioka take her medicine when she wakes up?"
"I'll make sure she takes it." He assures them
"Oh Kyoya, one more thing," Yuuichi notes turning around, as Akito goes out the door.
"What is it Nii-san?" he asks not looking away from Haruhi's sleeping form.
"She's going to make one hell of an addition to this family." He says before following his brother out the door, closing it behind him, and leaving Kyoya and Haruhi finally alone in the room, about ten minutes pass and she somehow manages to wake up.
"Kyoya-" she manages to say weakly.
"Glad to have you awake Haruhi." He smiles, before kissing her gently on the lips not caring that she was sick and just happy that she was still able to wake up.
Well that turned out longer then I first thought it was going to be. Thank you all for the comments on the last chapter they were very fun to read and trust me I don't plan on stopping this story until it is done I promise you that. On the first draft of this chapter I had actually planned to have the rest of the club find out, but then I thought, the point of this story is the two of them keeping their relationship a secret, so the club still won't find out for a while, but I do have that certain chapter all planned out and written on my desk already *wink*. Thank you all again for reading this and I hope you are all enjoying it so far. I know i'm having fun writing it. xD
