Day 1
"Okay dad I'm off, Kyoya's limo is outside." Haruhi tells her father tiredly the next morning, grabbing her bag and hugging him good-bye.
"Haruhi I do wish you and Kyoya would wait to do this." Ranka sighs
"What telling the rest of the club everything?" she asks jokingly, picking up her suitcase.
"Don't play dumb Haruhi; you know what I'm talking about." He snaps
"I know dad and I'm sorry, but I truly think we're ready. At least we waited this long and we are already engaged." She points out clutching the necklace around her neck, which had her engagement ring dangling from the end.
"I know that Haruhi it's just…never mind I can't control you anymore. I'm happy you chose to tell me beforehand, just be careful okay?" he asks hugging her tightly.
"I will dad I promise, I'll see you next week," she waves running out the door. Ranka watches her get into the limo and knows that the next time he sees her she wouldn't be a little girl anymore.
"4:00 am is too early to be awake," the twins were whining as the limo drives off.
"You are all the ones who wanted to make it to Okinawa before the sun set, so you are just going to have to deal with it," Kyoya growls.
'Well Kyoya is pissed, but I would bet that, like me, he hasn't slept at all.' Haruhi thinks moving over to sit next to him, to no one's surprise Kyoya was already seemingly in a deep sleep.
"Haruhi, why are you sitting next to mommy?" Tamaki asks
"Sempai I want to sleep, and by the looks of it Kyoya-sempai does too." Haruhi snaps "None of you would dare wake him up at the risk of being thrown out of the limo, so it only makes sense that you will leave me be if I am sleeping next to him."
"But Haruhi," the twins protest
"No, good-night" she yawns, closing her eyes and falling immediately into a deep sleep.
Waking up several hours later she realizes she's lying down in a private plane, her legs were laid out comfortably on the seat next to her and her head was resting on Kyoya's shoulder. Looking around she sees the twins asleep comfortably next to one another, Tamaki was, for whatever reason laying spread out on the floor, and Hunny and Mori were fast asleep across from her. "You awake?" she hears Kyoya ask.
Getting up she sees him sitting up, with his laptop on his lap. "What time is it?" she asks yawing and wondering vaguely what the others would think if they saw how friendly Kyoya was being for waking up to find her asleep on his shoulder for comfort.
"About eleven-thirty," he answers, as she yawns again.
'Two more hours to go, until we at least land. Then it'll be about another three to make it to his private beach house' she thinks "What time did you get up?"
"About a half an hour ago," he replies not looking away from whatever he was working on. "And before you ask Tamaki was the one who carried you onto the plane.
"Were they asleep when you got up?" she asks referring to the others.
"Yes, so I'm not sure when they will get up and be annoying us once again." He sighs, earning a small giggle from her. "So, you want to wager on something, before they wake up?" he asks turning to face her.
"Well since you have never lost a bet in your life normally I wouldn't, but you have me intrigued." She tells him standing up to stretch a bit. "So what's the bet?"
"How long do you think it'll take for the others to figure it out?" he asks her
Interesting, how long do you think?" she asks curiously
"All week," he states
"Do you really think it'll take that long for them to-"she was cut off by Kyoya giving her a 'are you kidding' look. "Point taken it took them forever to realize I was a girl and even then it was only because it was obvious." She sighs "All right I'll give them the rest of the days, are we actually waging on something?"
"If I win…you have to tell them we're engaged and answer any questions relating that." He smirks
"And if I win you have to do it." She counters sitting back down next to him.
"Deal," he says giving her his devils smile, causing her to shiver slightly. "Kiss to seal this agreement?"
"Of course," she laughs wrapping her arms around his neck to have him face her and kisses him gently. They cut it quickly when they hear Mori stir. Quickly letting go of Kyoya she moves a few feet over to her bag to make it look like she was digging through it, as Mori opens his eyes and yawns. "Good morning Mori-sempai," she smiles.
"Haruhi," he replies not fully awake.
Looking over at Kyoya she sees he is already working on his laptop. Laughing to herself she pulls out her journal, which she had decided to start a few months ago and begins to write.
The rest of the plane ride was annoying for Haruhi. Hunny woke up about ten minutes after Mori and was surprisingly quiet, as he ate the sweets he had packed along for the trip. The twins woke up about a half an hour later and by that time Haruhi was already well into a book she had brought when they began to harass her. She finally got fed up and told them to shut up and to entertain themselves by pulling a prank on Tamaki if they were so bored. They then decide to draw on Tamaki with a marker they seem to have pulled out from nowhere. Tamaki finally woke up just after they landed, making her wonder when he actually fell asleep in the first place. The twins manage to hold in their laughter of their masterpiece on his face, until Hunny tells Tamaki that he had a very colorful face and they finally snap and burst out laughing. Haruhi even saw it earned a small smile from Kyoya. The last few hours of the trip consisted of Tamaki arguing with the twins, Kyoya on his laptop, Hunny and Mori eating sweets, and Haruhi finishing her book, while sitting close enough to Kyoya to not raise suspicion. 'At least on the trip back we won't have to hide anything.' She thinks chancing a glace towards Kyoya, who only gave her a small smile.
When they did finally pull into the familiar driveway of Kyoya's beach house, Kyoya closes his laptop and looks up to talk to all of them. "All right, now like the last time we were here there are no servants to aid us at all this week, so we are on our own." He states "All of you have the same room as the last time we were here, except for you Haruhi, when we get inside just follow me and I will show you to your room."
"Yes Sempai," she replies grabbing her things.
"That being said, we are all alone together for a week, so let's make this trip an interesting one." He smirks briefly glancing at Haruhi.
"Uh-oh, Shadow King is plotting something. C'mon Kaoru let's head up to our room. See you all later." Hikaru says, ducking out of the limo.
"Oh Haruhi, we have a new bathing suit for you to wear this week." Kaoru tells her, following his brother out of the limo with Tamaki running out of the limo to chase the two into the house.
"Idiots, it's not like I can go swimming," she sighs clutching her side, where she had been knifed months ago.
"Is Haru-chan still hurt from being knifed?" Hunny asks, concern in his voice.
"She's fine, I just don't think she should be playing in seawater." Kyoya replies
"Is that your opinion Kyo-chan, or doctors'?" Hunny asks curiously
"Both, but Kyoya-sempai suggested it first," Haruhi answers. "And the fact that I'm still not off my medication doesn't help. Please don't worry about me Hunny-sempai, I'll just lay out on the beach and read, or build sand castles."
"Okay, but we will make sure you have lots of fun this week Haru-chan." He promises leaving the limo with Mori.
"I'm sure you all will," she sighs
"You ready to head in?" Kyoya asks grabbing his bags.
"Yep, our week at your beach house starts now." She smiles following him out of the limo and is greeted with the smell of salt water.
"Remind you of something?" he smirks leading her up to the house.
"If you are referring to being thrown off that damn cliff by those punks, I'd really rather not hear it." She snaps playfully, as they walk into the house and head upstairs.
"Not at all," he smiles, but obviously lying.
"I already promised I would never do that again," she sighs "several times actually"
"Yes, but you still managed to find another way to scare me to death. Do I need to remind you that you took a knife for my brother?"
"You're not going to ever let that one go are you?" she asks
"Never," he replies, stopping in front of a door. "This is your room" he says taking out a key and unlocking the door. "I made sure to give you a room with a lock on it."
"So that's your game is it?" she asks laughing and recognizing that his room was right next door. "Having a lock on my door in case I'm not in my bed in the morning and no one is stupid enough to walk into your room and try to wake you up."
"That, and there are reports of scattered thunderstorms this week" he explains as they go in. "I just thought that it would be easier like this if you needed someone at night."
"Thank you Kyoya, truly" she smiles walking around the room and looking out the window to see dark clouds already beginning to form.
'There's a connecting door in the back of the closet" he says still standing in the doorway.
"I'll be sure to unlock it from this side" she promises already walking into the closet and finding the door.
"I'll be back to pick you up for dinner in a bit" he nods, before leaving and going over to his room. When he gets settled in his room and calls Fuyumi to assure her that they made it just fine he goes over to his side of the connecting doors and walks into Haruhi's room.
He finds her sitting on her bed hugging her knees, her suitcase was opened at the edge of her bed and he looked outside to see the clouds had already begun to make lightning. 'How did I not see this from my room?' he wonders moving quickly over to the bed. "Haruhi are you all right?" he asks sitting next to her. He noted that when she clung to his arm she stopped shaking considerably.
"I've been better" she murmurs. "I'm sorry I'm so weak when it comes to storms."
"It's not your fault and we'll break you of this eventually" he sighs "Do you want to head downstairs? I know the others are still better at this than I am."
"Not really I feel perfectly safe with you" she murmurs, as he moves slightly so she was able to sit on his lap and cling to his chest.
"Really, that's a surprise"
"What am I not supposed to feel safe with the Shadow King?" she jokes
"Of course you can Haruhi, but I'm still taking you downstairs to the others" he argues picking her up bridal style and walking out of the room.
"I can walk Kyoya" she argues "Neither of us are ready to admit anything the first day here and you carrying me like this won't help."
"No, I suppose it wouldn't" he sighs setting her down gently. "Just cling to my arm if you're feeling scared."
"Thank you Kyoya" she tells him clutching his arm like a scared child, as they head downstairs. "You know I never cared the last time we were here, but where are the other's rooms?"
"Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai have the two rooms down the hall from us and Tamaki and the twins are on the other side of the house." He replies, as she clings to him tighter when they hear thunder outside and reach the dining room door.
"I love you Kyoya" she murmurs suddenly. "I know bad timing, but I get the feeling I won't be able to say it for the rest of the night."
"You know I like to hear you say that" he smirks kissing the top of her head. "I love you too Haruhi" he replies, before opening the door and leading her inside.
When the two enter they see Tamaki and the twins running around the table with Tamaki yelling something about his 'innocent daughter' probably referring to the last time they were all here and completely oblivious to the storm outside. Hunny and Mori were, Haruhi assumed, in the kitchen preparing dinner.
"No chandeliers this time?" she murmurs looking up to the ceiling.
"I made sure they were all removed, we don't need you risking your life again" he replies, earning a small giggle from her. He smirks and turns his attention to the others. "What the hell are you three arguing about now?"
The three finally stop and turn to see the couple in the doorway. "Kyoya…and Haruhi, what are you two doing so close?" Tamaki asks, as Hunny and Mori enter the room with plates of lobster tails.
"In case you hadn't noticed there is a storm going on outside." Kyoya explains "I found Haruhi sitting at the top of the staircase shivering, and clutching her knees to her chest. Since all of you are better at this then I am I was going to find one of you, but she decided to cling to my arm and we came down here."
"What I didn't know there was a storm outside" Tamaki exclaims going over to one of the closed blinds and opening it up slightly to be sure, just as a flash of lightning struck, causing Haring to cling to Kyoya even more.
"Tono, you're only making it worse" Kaoru sighs closing the blinds back up, as Hikaru walks over to stand in front of Haruhi and Kyoya.
"It'll be okay Haruhi, why don't you come sit between me and Kaoru?" he asks extending his arm out for her to take
"I'm fine right here Hikaru thanks" she murmurs, her voice barely audible.
"Kyoya-sempai?" Hikaru asks
"If I make her comfortable it's alright, just as long as she doesn't try to hug me. Is that acceptable Haruhi?" he asks looking down to her.
"Yes Kyoya-sempai thank you" she mutters.
"Haru-chan always does stick to the person who finds her, as long as Kyo-chan doesn't mind I say we just sit down and eat." Hunny says smiling at them.
"Speaking of were these lobster tails already in the kitchen?" Kaoru asks, as they all do what Hunny suggests and sit down.
"Yeah, there's all sorts of food in the kitchen" he replies already starting on a tail.
"My staff made sure there was plenty of food for us to prepare, but if we do want something else we can always go into town." Kyoya tells them
"We definitely need to go into town at some point this week, since we never got the chance the last time" Tamaki adds
"No kidding" everyone agrees
Dinner was quiet for the most part. Hunny noticed that whenever thunder could be heard outside Haruhi would tense up, but immediately calm down when Kyoya touched her in any way-even a simple gesture of their hands brushing together seemed to calm her down. He knew they were dating secretly, though they wouldn't admit it, but he had to wonder just how close they really were. 'They have to tell us at one point, so we'll keep quiet for now.' He sighs sharing a knowing glance with Takashi.
They were just finishing dessert when the power went out and caused a flash of lightning to light up the room. Haruhi squeaked and clung to Kyoya even tighter. "I'm starting to think that we should have just come here tomorrow." They hear Hikaru sigh
"Well there's not much we can do until the power comes back on, but it's supposed to be clear and sunny tomorrow so why don't we just all head off to bed. Surely we're all still a bit tired." Tamaki suggests
"What about Haruhi? We can't just leave her alone this storm may be here all night." Hikaru points out
"There's enough space in her room to have all of us sleep in there with her, why don't we all just do that?" Kyoya suggests he didn't want to, but he knew if he didn't all of them would come into her room at different times of the night to check on her. He was thankful for the darkness though so he was able to kiss her swiftly on the lips to calm her down.
"It'll be like a sleepover" Hunny says excitedly
"Haruhi is that okay with you?" Tamaki asks. There was no response "Kyoya-?"
"It's fine, she's simply too scared to talk, but she nodded her head." He replies
"Okay, then why don't we all go to our rooms, grab what we need, change, and meet in Haruhi's room in about twenty minutes." Tamaki suggests
"Sounds good" they all agree getting up and attempting to find the door.
"You know you can use your phones for light." Kyoya suggests sighing, as he listens to somebody, he assumes Tamaki, run into a wall.
"Yes of course" Tamaki mutters pulling out his phone and using it to guide him out of the room.
"Idiot" Kyoya murmurs getting up, "Haruhi are you okay?"
"I'm all right" he hears her, "but are you sure you will be?"
"It won't be that bad, like Hunny-sempai said it'll be like a sleepover." He assures her, helping her out of her chair and wandering out of the room.
"If you're sure" she sighs, as they head upstairs and prepare for the night.
Day 2
Hunny wakes up the next morning on the smaller couch next to the closet, covered in the blankets he had brought from his room last night and groans at the sunlight that was creeping into the room through the crack in the drapes. He gets off the couch to stretch and turns to the longer couch which Mori was sleeping on to see him already awake and dressed. He waves good morning, but Mori is looking towards the bed. Turning to see what had his cousin looking so surprised he looks to the bed and has to blink twice to make sure what he was seeing wasn't an illusion.
Tamaki was curled up on one of the far sides of the bed sleeping peacefully and clutching Kuma-chan, which Haruhi had refused last night. The twins were sleeping next to him huddled together, but that was no real surprise. Haruhi and Kyoya on the other hand was what made him think that it was an illusion. Haruhi had slept between Hikaru and Kyoya the night before, but it was clear who she preferred to protect her. Haruhi's head was curled up in Kyoya's chest and both of her hands were clutching one of Kyoya's close to her chest while his other hand was wrapped protectively around her waist, his head was resting on hers. They both looked like they were sleeping so well it was hard to say anything.
Hunny shares a glance with his cousin, who only shakes his head and shrugs. A few minutes pass and Tamaki was unfortunately the next one to wake up. He stretches, walks into the bathroom, comes back out and finally takes a look at the bed, before he can scream out Mori covers his mouth. "Shh…Tama-chan we don't want to wake the others up" Hunny tells him.
"But why are Haruhi and Kyoya sleeping like that?" he protests more quietly after Mori removed his hand
"Tama-chan, no one knows what they're doing in their sleep. That could have been any of us Haru-chan is sleeping with like." Hunny tells him, though he doubts it.
"I can't allow her to sleep like that with anyone though" Tamaki protests loud enough for the twins to stir.
"Damn it milord why are you always so loud?" Hikaru groans sitting up
"You two, how could you let Haruhi sleep like that with him?" Tamaki asks pointing to where Haruhi and Kyoya were still fast asleep.
"What's the problem now?" Kaoru asks sitting up next to his brother. The twins look to the other side of the bed and let out something between a smirk and a laugh.
"What's so funny?" Hunny ask curiously
"We'll explain outside, I don't want to be the one to wake the Demon Lord." Hikaru tells them getting out of the bed.
"I definitely don't want to be Haruhi right now, wonder how Kyoya-sempai is going to react to waking up like that." Kaoru agrees getting out of the bed with his brother and the others follow them out.
"Why are you two so calm about this?" Tamaki asks them 'I don't understand I'm sure Haruhi is dating one of them, so why aren't they more upset?' he wonders, as they lead them down to their room. Kaoru slips in and comes out with a photo about five minutes later and hands it to Tamaki.
"This is why it's so funny. Haruhi did the same thing on our trip to New York apparently when there is someone else in bed with her she curls up next to them." Hikaru laughs as he watches their reactions.
"Is that Princess Kuragano?" Tamaki asks looking at the picture and realizing it was almost identical to the way Kyoya and Haruhi were sleeping.
"Yep, they shared a bed one night and Renge took this picture of them the next morning" Kaoru confirms. Suddenly they're all laughing.
"Seems Haruhi is a bit more dependent than she thinks" Hikaru laughs "but I do feel kind of bad about leaving her with Kyoya-sempai, once he wakes up it's not going to be fun for her."
"There's no way Kyo-chan will do anything to Haru-chan" Hunny brings up. "He may not like being woken up, but we all know he wouldn't do anything to hurt her."
"Let's hope so, I'd really rather not go back in there and accidently wake him up" Kaoru says the others silently agreeing with him.
"Why don't we all head down to the kitchen and get something to eat while we wait for them to get up?" Tamaki suggests handing the photo back to the twins and they all head downstairs.
'The hell-?' Haruhi wonders hearing a door close "Oh dad must have left for work, but why do I feel an arm around me? Unless Kyoya stayed over again.' She thinks shifting her position a little, as memories from the night before came flooding back and she opens her eyes, to be met with Kyoya's shirt. 'That's right I'm not at home I'm in Okinawa with the host club. There was a storm last night and the others all decided to sleep in my room, so then-crap are they noticing how I'm sleeping.' She wonders quickly sitting up and looking around to an empty room. 'They must have all left.'
"Is something wrong Haruhi?" Kyoya yawns sitting up with her "or did you actually mean to startle me so early in the morning?"
"I'm sorry I woke up and remembered that the others stayed in here too last night and I didn't think our positions were exactly appropriate." She stammers
"Well since they're not here it's safe to assume they saw how we were sleeping. We'll just have to come up with something downstairs." He yawns again lying back down.
"Kyoya what time did you fall asleep last night?" she asks
"About the same time you all did why?" he asks
"Liar, I know when you are staying with me because of a storm you either stay awake until it passes, or if you are sure I'm completely asleep." She tells him
"Honestly you're starting to scare me with how much you know." He sighs. "All right I fell asleep about three thirty this morning."
"Then go back to sleep. I'll go downstairs and get us out of this." She tells him getting out of bed and stretching a little.
"Haruhi you expect me to just-"
"Kyoya trust me it'll be fine. I have the twins to back me up about how I sleep. Something like this happened in New York when I was sharing a bed with Momoka." She explains. "Please just go back to sleep, or you are going to be in a bad mood all day."
"…Fine give me one hour and come and wake me up." He asks.
"Okay." She nods, before leaning down and kissing him once, grabbing another set of clothes and walking into the bathroom to change.
"Whoa Haruhi nice choice of clothing, your dad change your suitcase again?" the twins ask as she walks into the dining hall in a dark blue halter top sundress that stopped a few inches above her knees and white sandals.
"Actually this I chose, but the rest of my suitcase seems to have changed." She sighs sitting down between the twins and taking a roll Kaoru offers her. "By the way sorry about how I sleep, that must've been a bit of a shock to wake up too."
"It's all right we already explained to the others about what happened in New York we get it you like to sleep curled up with somebody." They laugh
"Oh shut up" she growls, but thankful to the twins for remembering.
"Haru-chan, how did you not wake Kyo-chan up?" Hunny asks her curiously.
"Oh he woke up." She sighs. "We argued a bit, I apologized, and he fell back asleep. I doubt he's even going to remember waking up the first time."
"He really didn't do anything to you?" Tamaki asks
"Why would he do that?" she asks, as the others just shrug and go back to eating breakfast. 'Well that was easy to handle' she thinks biting into her roll.
"Kyoya, Kyoya it's been exactly one hour." Haruhi mutters walking into her room and seeing Kyoya still asleep in the middle of the bed. Sighing and knowing her muttering wasn't going to do anything she closes the door, walks over to the bed, and crawls onto it. "Kyoya, Kyoya" she calls shaking him a bit. "Come on Kyoya you said an hour please try to-ack" she cries, as she's thrown on her back with him towering over her.
"Scare you that time?" he asks smirking.
"Damn it were you already awake?" she asks.
"Well I woke up around the time you came into the room, so yes." he replies.
"Whatever, the others are already heading down to the beach for the day. I just came to get my things and to wake you up." She sighs.
"Really so we're alone?" he asks smirking.
"And I told you not during the day, now get off me please" she asks. He sighs and rolls onto the other side of her. "You know it wouldn't be safe to do it during the day." She points out turning her head to face him and kisses him.
"I know." He replies kissing her back and rolling out of the bed. "I guess I should go get ready to hang out on the beach all day."
"There's still some food left downstairs for you if you want it." She tells him. "And when you're ready the rest of us will be outside."
"See you outside in a bit then." He replies walking over to her closet and disappearing into his room.
It was nearing noon when Kyoya came walking out of the house in his swim shorts and a loose t-shirt and sees Haruhi, who was now wearing a white bikini and attempting to play volleyball with Tamaki and the twins. Hunny and Mori were having some fun cliff-diving, whether that was to remind Haruhi of what happened the last time they were here he wasn't sure. He wanders over to one of the four beach chairs set up, sits down and pretends to be interested in the group by taking pictures with his phone to post to the club's website, but he keeps one eye on the volleyball game where Haruhi had just gotten hit with the ball.
"Damn it Hikaru I told you to watch it." Haruhi laughs, as she gets up shaking sand off of herself.
"Not my fault you can't seem to keep your eyes on it." He replies jokingly from the other side.
"Putting you two on the same team now seems like a bad idea." Tamaki murmurs taking the ball from Haruhi.
"You only realize this now?" Haruhi laughs looking briefly over to the beach chairs to see Kyoya sitting in one of them and had finally decided to come out, he was now taking pictures. "Looks like Kyoya-sempai is finally awake." She murmurs, as the other three were arguing about scores.
Tamaki stops, after hearing Haruhi's comment and looks over to where his friend was sitting. "Kyoya, why don't you come join us and help referee this game." he calls.
"Why would I want to do that?" he replies.
"To be a part of the game, you don't want to just sit there and watch us all day do you?" Tamaki asks.
"I'm quite comfortable where I am thanks."
"Please Sempai?" Haruhi asks "it would only be for a few games and you get to determine if we're playing fair."
"I know what a referee is Haruhi" he sighs. Looking up he sees Tamaki giving him his usual puppy eyes and Haruhi looking on the verge of pouting. 'Damn it if I can't refuse one of them, how in the hell am I supposed to refuse both.' He groans. Giving in he gets up and wanders over to the net. 'She's going to get it for this later' he promises.
"Looks like Kyo-chan really can't deny Haru-chan anything ne Takashi?" Hunny asks his cousin from the top of the cliff. The pair had just watched the exchange on the beach and was now watching Tamaki toss Kyoya the ball, only to get it thrown back at him and hit the face.
"Seems like it" he replies, as the two sit to watch the game for a while.
"Hikaru and Kaoru beat you 3-2 games Tamaki can't you just let it go?" Kyoya growls, as they were all sitting down for lunch about two more hours later. "The last game was a tie."
"I still want a rematch." Tamaki protests.
"And we will give you one another day; we want to play in the ocean after lunch." The twins tell him.
"Fine we'll play a game in the ocean it will be Haruhi and me against you two again." Tamaki tells them.
Haruhi was about to let him know she couldn't go into the water when Hunny beat her to it. "Haru-chan can't play in the water." He says coming out of the kitchen with plates of food for them. "She's still recovering from her stabbing."
"It's been almost four months though." The twins point out.
"I can go in water just fine, but seawater is out of the question." She tells them. "You guys can still play though, I'm sure Hunny-sempai or Mori-sempai will help you out."
"But we promised to make sure you have fun Haru-chan" Hunny pouts
"Sempai the volleyball game this morning was a lot of fun, but now I'd rather sit on the beach and read or something." She assures him. "I promise I'm having fun."
"Okay we'll play with you three right Takashi?" Hunny asks
"Ah" Mori replies
"Well I am not getting dragged into another game and will sit on a chair and watch you three make fools of yourselves" Kyoya tells them biting into a sandwich.
"You just want more pics for the site" the twins sigh, as they too bite into their sandwiches.
'That or he wants to talk to me about making him join in the game earlier.' Haruhi sighs inwardly.
After agreeing to wait another hour before jumping into the ocean and playing some physical game the others were in the water by almost four that evening leaving Haruhi and Kyoya alone in two of the beach chairs. "What the hell are they even doing?" Haruhi asks pausing from her writing in her journal to look up and see Hunny jump on Mori's shoulders and Hikaru jump on Kaoru's leaving Tamaki as some sort of referee.
Kyoya looks up from his book and watches them for a few moments before taking out his phone again and getting some pictures he finally answers. "I think it's a game called chicken…that or some form of wrestling," as they watch both Hunny and Hikaru fall off and Mori and Kaoru try to pick up Tamaki.
"…or a type of race?" she asks, as Mori lifts Tamaki up and Hunny and Hikaru push Mori over into the water.
"Whatever it is it's stupid" Kyoya sighs taking another picture, as the five in the water switch partners.
"But at least they all seem to be having fun" Haruhi smiles
"I guess" he sighs, turning and snapping a photo of her.
"Kyoya" she protests
"What our guests want pictures of our hostess having fun as well" he smirks
"They do not, just delete that picture please?" she asks
"Can't, as soon as I take a photo it uploads to the clubs site" he tells her
"Kyoya" she protests
"Careful there love, you don't want the others to hear you calling me by my name"
"Cunning bastard" she sighs laying back down.
"I fail to see what you're so embarrassed about, you look beautiful in that suit" he comments returning to reading his book.
"I don't know just the thought of my picture in this, being on a site for people to look feels…odd I guess" she sighs. "After all I am the only girl here on a beach with six of the hottest guys in the school."
"You need to stop worrying about what people are going to think of this" he sighs. "You're having a good time right?"
"Yes"
"Then that's all that matters okay?" he assures her "now I'm going to take a quick nap, wake me when they get tired and want to go inside would you?"
"Sure and Kyoya…thanks" she smiles, before settling down to watch the others.
It was just after seven when it got too dark to stay outside anymore and they all move into the house to get something to eat. "Hunny-sempai are you sure you don't want any help?" Haruhi asks walking into the kitchen, after changing back into her blue sundress.
"No we got it thanks Haru-chan" he smiles
"If you're sure" she murmurs waking back into the dining hall, where the others were playing poker on the table.
"A full house beats a straight Tamaki, I win" Kyoya was telling him, after revealing his hand and sending Tamaki to his corner of woe.
"I thought a flush beats a full house though" Haruhi asks looking at Hikaru's hand.
"No only a straight flush" Kaoru explains
"But a flush does beat a regular straight right?" she asks sitting down
"Yes, do you know how to play poker Haruhi?" Kyoya asks
"A little, my dad taught me the basics" she shrugs.
"You want to play a few games with us?" Hikaru asks shuffling the cards
"…Sure are we betting on something?" she asks
"The person who wins the most hands picks the movie we watch tonight." The twins tell her, as Hikaru starts dealing the cards and Tamaki wanders back over to the table.
"How many rounds have you played?"
"Six, so far Kyoya-sempai's winning with three. Hikaru has two and I have one." Kaoru tells her
"Anything wild?" she asks looking at her hand
"Three's are wild" Hikaru answers, as the game began
"Three jacks" Tamaki reveals
"Full house, nine high" Kyoya smirks
"Again-?" the twins sigh. "we fold."
"Full house, Queen high" Haruhi mutters laying her cards down. The twins are the first to start laughing and Haruhi looks over to Kyoya, who only shakes his head.
Three more rounds go by and Tamaki finally wins one. Haruhi wins the last two leaving her and Kyoya tied with three each. "Who knew innocent little Haruhi knew how to play poker so well." Kyoya smirks
"Poker is just about luck and I just seem to have a bit of it tonight" she replies.
"Okay, the last round will just be between Haruhi and Kyoya-sempai for the win." Hikaru announces dealing out the cards to the two of them.
"Two." Haruhi asks setting two cards aside.
"I'll hold." Kyoya tells him.
'Crap.' she thinks. "Ready to show?"
"Four tens." he lays out.
"How the hell do you keep getting cards like that-?" the twins ask amazed and making a mental note to never actual play real poker with him.
"How did you shuffle these Hikaru?" Haruhi asks laying her hand down to reveal a straight flush, much to the shock to the others.
"Nice hand Haru-chan." Hunny laughs. "Does this mean she wins?"
"I guess it does." Kyoya smirks.
"Remind us to never play real poker with either one of you." the twins laugh.
"Oh come on it was just luck." Haruhi laughs.
"Well Haruhi looks like you get to pick the movie tonight." Tamaki tells her, as they sit down for dinner.
"Great" she murmurs starting on a piece of meat and knowing that she was going to end up picking a movie everyone wanted to see anyways.
After dinner they all ended up in the huge theatre like room in the house watching the first Harry Potter. Haruhi was laughing at how unrealistic it was. Kyoya was bored, but found he liked the potions teacher's way of teaching students. Tamaki was moved by Harry's story and somehow related himself to him. The twins loved how mischievous the Weasly twins were and wanted to somehow re-create the game Quiddich. Hunny was fascinated by the endless amounts of sweets during dinner and Mori seemed to be enjoying it.
Hunny fell asleep shortly after the movie ended and Mori said good-night to the rest of them, picked Hunny up and headed off to bed.
"We should all head up to bed" Tamaki yawns. "Good-night all of you" he waves, also heading out of the room.
"Night Haruhi" the twins wave, before following Tamaki out of the room and leaving Kyoya and Haruhi alone.
"You know Tamaki- sempai is probably going to make us watch the second one tomorrow night." Haruhi laughs "actually he'll probably make us watch all eight of them before we leave at the end of the week."
"I'm not sure that will be completely a bad thing" Kyoya murmurs.
"You actually enjoyed it?" she asks in disbelief
"Not entirely, but it was entertaining"
"I guess"
"You ready to head up to bed?" he asks
"…Yes" she smiles taking his hand.
"We don't have to do this if you don't want to" he says, kissing her temple
"It's not that I don't want to I'm just nervous" she smiles pulling him down to kiss him on the lips. "I know I'm safe with you though."
"I love you Haruhi" he murmurs kissing her again.
"I love you too Kyoya" she smiles, as they walk out of the room and head upstairs.
Day 3
"Are you all right Haruhi, you look different this morning?" Hikaru asks, as she walks into the dining room the next morning.
"I just walked in, how on earth you can tell if I look different this morning?" she laughs
"I don't know, you just…walked in differently I guess" he shrugs.
"I'm fine really, where's everyone else still asleep?" she asks
"No one is willing to wake Kyoya-sempai up. Tono is outside talking to our driver about going somewhere today and Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai said something about going for a jog." Kaoru tells her
"Any idea to what Tamaki-sempai's plans for us are today?" she asks pouring herself a glass of milk and sitting down next to them.
"Not a clue" they chorus, as Tamaki runs into the room.
"Oh, good morning Haruhi" he smiles walking over to them. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, very well thank you" she smiles, as Hunny and Mori wander in.
"Wow Haru-chan you seem to be in a good mood this morning" Hunny comments.
'So I wasn't imagining it' Hikaru thinks still watching Haruhi. "So Tono what are we doing today?" he asks
"When Kyoya gets up I'll let you all know" he tells them
"That could be hours though and wouldn't he already know?" the twins ask
"Nope it's a surprise and I want all of us to participate" he tells them.
"I'll go and wake him up" Haruhi suggests getting up
"NO" all of them but Hunny and Mori practically scream.
"Gah-what?" she asks "I woke him up yesterday and he wasn't that bad."
"That's only because he fell asleep with you" Tamaki tells her. "If you try and wake him up today he may throw something at you, or worse."
"Tama-chan that's only you and the twins" Hunny points out. "I'm sure Haru-chan will be just fine, besides you want to start on whatever we're doing today right? If she's willing to try and wake him I say let her" he says, knowing that there was no way Kyoya would hurt her.
"Haruhi, are you sure?" Tamaki asks
"Trust me I've woken him up a few times and he really is no worse than my father" she laughs. "Hikaru, Kaoru surely you remember that morning you came over before the trip and I had to warn you."
"Oh yeah, you said your father was worse than the Demon Lord in the morning" Hikaru remembers.
"What why were you two in Haruhi's home in the morning?" Tamaki asks them, giving Haruhi the chance to slip away quietly.
Since his room was locked Haruhi goes through the connecting doors and sees Kyoya still asleep on his bed. "Kyoya, Kyoya you need to get up." She calls quietly moving closer over to the bed. 'Funny I was with him all night, yet I'm nervous about approaching him.' She sighs, opening the drapes to let the sun in and seeing that it had no effect on him at all. "Kyoya" scowling she finally moves to the edge of the bed and crawls on. 'I swear if he's only pretending to be asleep again I'm going to be pissed' shaking him slightly she sees his eyes open slowly.
"Haruhi-"he groans
'Well at least I know this time he was actually still asleep' she thinks. "Kyoya you need to get up the others are already awake and are downstairs waiting for you."
"Don't really care" he mutters in a way that caused her to laugh.
"The will you get up for me, please?" she asks kissing him on the cheek. Not to her surprise she was suddenly thrown on her back with him over her. Haruhi sucked in her breath at the feeling of his icy cold fingers going under her shirt. "Kyoya!" she exclaims sharply, removing his hands. "What are you—?" But he interrupts her with a kiss. The familiar sensation of his lips on hers leaves her dazed for a moment. "You realize you're only covered up by the blankets right?" she asks laughing and trying to hide the blush she knew was creeping onto her face.
"Well I must say you look a lot better without clothes on" he smirks.
"Kyoya" she cries
"I'm just teasing you Haruhi, you just look so cute flustered" he laughs and finally rolls off of her.
"Jerk" she mutters
"Are you feeling all right?" he asks getting out of bed and walking over to dig through his suitcase.
"I'm fine Kyoya really, don't worry" she tells him getting off the bed. "I still love you and will be downstairs with the others, when you're ready."
"Still love you too Haruhi" he smirks, as she walks out of his room and he walks into the bathroom to get ready for another day.
"What the hell-?" she asks walking back into the dining room to see them all standing around Tamaki, who seems to have fainted. "What happened in here?"
"Oh, Tono didn't like our explanation of what we were doing at your house so early in the morning." The twins grin
"What did you say?" she asks bewildered
"Nothing, so how'd it go with Kyoya-sempai?" they ask
"Well he's up, but he wasn't too happy about it" she sighs, before sitting back down between the twins.
"He didn't do anything?" they ask
"Nope, the only thing he really did was growl about not caring what Tamaki-sempai wants to do today and rolled back over." She laughs "eventually I got him to wake up though and he'll be down in a bit."
"Maybe we should have you wake him up from now on, since you seem to be the only one who doesn't get hurt." The twins tell her.
"Doesn't matter to me" she yawns taking a bite of an apple. "If I hadn't seen Kyoya-sempai throw that vase at Tamaki-sempai's head the last time he tried to wake him up. I would think you guys were overreacting."
"But we're not"
"I know that" she sighs, as Tamaki starts to get up.
""Twins…doing perverted things to daughter…early in the morning" he murmurs slowly getting off the ground.
"Sempai whatever they told you I assure you nothing happened" Haruhi tries to tell him.
"Oh my darling daughter I knew you would never let those devil twins touch you." He recovers immediately and tackles her for a hug.
She flinches drastically at the touch and wriggles free from his grasp. "Haruhi are you okay?" Hikaru asks putting a hand on her shoulder, causing her to jump away quickly. "You're really…jumpy this morning."
"I'm fine sorry." She tries to tell them 'damn it Kyoya your little stunt this morning has made me not trust people touching me' she growls inwardly.
"My darling daughter is sick, we should get her to a hospital right away" Tamaki cries
"What the hell are you screaming about at ten thirty in the morning?" Kyoya asks walking into the room.
"Mother, something is wrong with our daughter" Tamaki tells him running over to grab his arm and drag him to stand in front of Haruhi. "She keeps flinching whenever one of us touches her."
"Really" Kyoya asks looking down at her, only to see a light blush appear on her face. "Haruhi are you feeling all right?"
"I'm fine Sempai thanks" she states.
"If she says she's fine Tamaki there's really nothing we can do" he tells his friend turning back around to face him. "Now isn't there some reason you had Haruhi wake me up?"
"Oh yes" he exclaims "we're going on a short trip today."
"Great" Kyoya murmurs sitting down and accepting the cup of coffee Haruhi hands him. "And where are we going exactly?"
"That's a surprise, so everybody finish eating up and we'll go." He tells them happily
'This is going to be another one of his crazy ideas' both Kyoya and Haruhi sigh inwardly, before eating something.
About a half an hour passes and they we all heading outside to get into the limo that was waiting for them when Kyoya stops Haruhi at the door for only a moment. "So if you flinch when the others touch you, what about me?" he smirks playing with a lock of her hair.
"You already know the answer to that" she laughs leaning up to kiss him swiftly, before dropping her voice. "By the way, you look a lot better without clothes on too." She claims, before following the others out the door.
'You never cease to amaze me Haruhi' he laughs following her out.
They drive on the main roads for over an hour, until they finally turn onto a dirt road and stop. Tamaki led them out of the car and they walked another fifteen minutes uphill to a small round clearing. There were several bushes blooming with flowers and a bit of the ocean was just visible through a few of the trees on the far side of the clearing making Haruhi wonder how high up they were.
"Tono what are we doing so high up and why did you bring us all the way up here?" the twins ask annoyed.
"Tamaki what kind of game can we play here that we couldn't back at the house?" Kyoya asks
"We are going to hike back to the house" he announces
"From here? Tono that's almost a three hour walk back." The twins complain
"Oh come on it's going to be a race. We are all going to separate and the first one back to the house gets to decide what we do for the next three days." He tells them
"So the person who wins gets to decide what we do, basically the rest of the trip?" Kyoya confirms
"Yes"
"…sweet we're in" the twins grin.
"We are too right Takashi?" Hunny says
"Ah"
"I'm in too" Haruhi sighs. 'Not that I have much of a choice.'
"What are the rules?" Kyoya asks.
"No finding your way onto the main road and paying, or asking someone to drive you back you can walk along the main road, but nothing else. If you get hurt, you can of course call for help. It's all right to team up, since I know the twins will stay together and Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai will stick together. And finally there is a deadline if the sun starts to set and you are still out here somewhere, you can call to get picked up and taken back. Don't want any of us around here after dark." Tamaki explains
"Wow boss, you actually put some thought into this" the twins comment.
'I wanted this to be fun" Tamaki tells them.
"All right is that it?" Kyoya asks
"Yes, are we all ready to start then?" Tamaki asks
"Yep"
"3…2…1…GO" Tamaki cries and all six of them disappear into the trees, leaving Haruhi to stare off after them.
'I'll never understand this group' she sighs looking around. 'I guess I could go find the main road, but that would leave me with the challenge of trying to find the right roads. If I try to find my way down this cliff and onto the beach I would just need to walk south and find that cave that leads onto Kyoya's beach.' She thinks deciding to try the latter she finds a small path and follows it.
Two hours pass and she knows she's lost, after following three paths that almost lead her off a cliff she ends up at a fork in the road. One seems to lead farther up a cliff and one looked like it leads down to the beach. She takes the one leading down and about ten minutes pass and she barely has time to let out a scream before she feels the sensation of falling one minute and the feeling of being lifted up the next. "Haruhi-sama, are you okay?" A panicked, yet familiar voice asks, as she is placed safely back on the soft ground.
"Hotta, thank god" she exclaims hugging him tightly "Thank you so much."
"It's my job to protect you Haruhi-sama" he states returning to his calm demeanor.
"Your job or not, thank you" she sighs deeply, trying to get her heart rate to go back to normal. Daringly she turns around to see where she had fallen. It wasn't a particularly large cliff, but fall from it and you would face some serious damages.
"Haruhi-sama, would you like me to accompany you back to the house?" he asks
"No thank you I'd rather not-"
"Haruhi" Kyoya's voice came from the trees behind Hotta.
"Kyoya" she cries happily, as he appears beside Hotta. She runs over to him and he embraces her tightly.
"I heard you scream and I panicked" he explains.
"I'm fine Hotta caught me before I managed to fall off the cliff over there" she tells him still shaking.
"Thank you very much Hotta" Kyoya says turning to her bodyguard. "I know protecting her is just your job, but truly…thank you."
"Protecting Haruhi-sama is more than just a job to me master Kyoya" Hotta states, before disappearing back into the trees.
"Seems you made a good choice in your guard" Kyoya smirks, finally letting her go.
"I trust Hotta completely. I'm sorry I worried you" she mutters.
"As long as you are all right it's fine."
"Do you think the others heard me scream?"
"I doubt it. I wasn't very far from here and I haven't seen any of the others since we started."
"You want to team up?"
"I'm not leaving you alone again" he states taking her hand in his.
"I figured that…thank you" she mutters clinging to his arm.
"So where have you tried to get out of this forest?"
"It would be easier to tell you where I haven't tried" she sighs. "What about you surely you know this area well?"
"I only know my beach's general area, which is probably why Tamaki chose to bring us out this far" he growls. "Well is there any area that you know you haven't checked out yet?"
"Actually there was a fork in the road back the way I came, since this is a dead end do you want to try the other way?" she asks "It's only about a ten minute walk."
"Let's try it, but no more falling off cliffs" he asks kissing the top of her head.
"Please I have both you and Hotta watching me now" she laughs, as she leads him back the way she came.
"Haruhi, this doesn't look like it's going to lead us anywhere but higher up the cliff. Kyoya comments, as they reach the fork in the path.
"That's what I thought too, but what if there's a path that leads down to the beach farther up?" she points out
"…All right we'll try it" he sighs, giving in and letting her lead him up the path.
After about twenty minutes of climbing they find stone like steps leading down onto the sandy beach. The steps were rather steep and it took almost another ten minutes to carefully get down, but they finally felt the familiar feel of sand under their feet. "Yay, we're finally out of the forest." Haruhi cries happily looking up to where they just were and realizing just how high up they really were.
"Now if we just head south we should end up at the mouth of the cave that opens up to my family's beach on the other side." Kyoya notes looking around.
"South should be that way right?" Haruhi asks pointing to her left, while taking her shoes off to feel the sand.
"Yes, but it also means a few more hours of walking." He points out "are you sure you will be all right Haruhi?" he asks
"I'll be fine thanks, are you ready to head back?" she asks holding out her hand.
"Yeah, let's head back." He smiles taking her hand and leaning down to kiss her swiftly, before the two of them began walking along the beach.
"Uh-oh looks like Haru-chan and Kyo-chan found their way out of here first." Hunny laughs from up in a tree, as Mori climbs up beside him and looks down to the beach where the couple were walking.
"I'm glad she's okay" Mori tells him. The two had heard Haruhi scream earlier, but by the time they had gotten to the spot there was no sign of anybody around.
"Me too that really scared me, but it seems Kyo-chan found her first." He smiles looking down again to see Kyoya seemingly chasing her. "You know anyone who sees them can see that they're together. I wonder how they've kept it up."
"If we get to the house before the others I'm sure you can just ask them Mitsukuni." Mori tells him
"You're right we should start heading back anyways" he says starting to get down. "Do you want to climb down the cliff, or head over to the main road and get back from there?"
"Cliff, I'd rather walk along the beach then the road" Mori replies.
"Good point" he laughs. "All right let's find a safe place to climb down and head back." He tells him getting back on the ground and heading back into the forest.
It was just after five in the afternoon when Kyoya and Haruhi dragged themselves through the back doors of the beach house and collapse on the couch in one of the sitting rooms. "You know we should probably see if anyone made it back before us" Haruhi sighs.
"Is anyone else home?" Kyoya shouts out.
"Not what I meant, but I suppose it gets the point across" she laughs.
A few minutes pass and no one walks in, or even shouts back. "There's no way we're the first back, where is everyone?" Haruhi asks curiously sitting up.
"Haruhi-sama. Master Kyoya welcome back." Tachibana tells them coming into the room and bowing.
'Where is everybody?" Haruhi asks
"You two are the first ones back" he answers
"…you're serious?" she asks surprised "I expected Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai to be back hours ago."
"Well since you were the one who suggested going up on the path and found the stairs you win Haruhi" Kyoya states. "Congratulations, you get to choose what we do for the rest of the week."
"Funny I wasn't even trying to win." She laughs "I just wanted to get back to the house safely."
"You almost didn't even do that" he jokes.
"Oh shut up, you know that actually was an accident" she pouts.
"I know" he sighs getting up and kissing her gently. "I'm just glad you're safe."
"Thanks" she murmurs kissing him back.
"I'm going to go do some work and take a nap before the others get back." He tells her breaking away. "If I'm asleep come and wake me up in about an hour would you?"
"Sure, I'm going to go take a shower and start on dinner." She replies
"Come upstairs with me?" he asks holding out his hand.
"Of course" she smiles taking it, as the two walk out of the room.
"Kyoya I can't get anything done with you looming behind me." Haruhi growls, while trying to cut the vegetables over an hour later.
"I'm only standing here by the counter Haruhi I'm not trying to be distracting." He smirks.
"Over there you're fine. I meant how you keep coming up behind me and kissing my neck, or worse." She argues
"I don't hear you complaining."
"Kyoya"
'All right, all right I'll stop" he laughs and not being able to help it he walks over to stand behind her.
"Kyoya" she warns
"What I'm not doing anything except watching you cook" he smirks.
"I should have just let you sleep longer" she sighs "You are becoming as bad as the twins."
"Yet you still love me" he points out wrapping his arm around her waist from behind and using his other hand to turn her face towards his.
"Yet I still love you" she repeats giving in, as he kisses her for probably the hundredth time since they got back to the house. "What's with you this afternoon? Since you found me in the forest you've barely kept your hands to yourself."
"Haruhi I almost lost you again this afternoon" he points out. "Can you blame me for being a little attached to you tonight?"
"…I guess not" she sighs turning back around to finish her prepping. "Actually you've been like this since we became engaged" she laughs.
"I think it's safe to say that we are a bit more than just that Haruhi" he laughs finally letting go of her waist, but still standing behind her.
"What do you want me to call us then Kyoya…lovers who happen to be engaged?" she smirks turning around to face him and sees Hunny and Mori in the doorway looking like they were about to knock both of them were staring at her in shock. She drops the knife she was holding and it hits the ground barely missing both their feet.
"Haruhi is something wrong?" Kyoya asks confused by the sudden change in her attitude.
"Hunny-sempai…Mori-sempai" she murmurs.
Kyoya turns around to see his two seniors standing in the doorway. "Should we even ask how long you've been standing there?" he asks his voice neutral.
"…Since you walked up behind her and turned her head for a kiss." Mori answers since Hunny was still just staring at Haruhi, who at this point is more interested at looking down at her feet.
"Well this was a mistake" Kyoya sighs
"What you coming in here and…distracting her?" Mori asks
"No, you two finding out like this," He sighs "We came on this trip to tell you all, but not to find out like this, damn it I'm sorry sempai."
"I'm so sorry Hunny-sempai" Haruhi murmurs to Hunny, who still hasn't taken his eyes off of her.
"We knew you two were dating, but it's really more than that?" he asks clearly upset, but his comment took the couple aback.
"Wait…you two knew we were dating?" Kyoya asks
"Since the ball where Haruhi was revealed to be a girl" Mori confirms "How long have you two been engaged?"
"Valentine's Day" Haruhi sighs
"What? What did you do Kyo-chan ask her out once, then ask her to marry you?" Hunny asks
"Sempai, we've been dating since the last time we were all here in Okinawa." Haruhi cries "Kyoya waited sixteen months to ask me to marry him…and I accepted."
"Your family?" Mori asks Kyoya.
"Are all in love with her" he sighs "Trust me my family's been the least of our problems for months."
"…twenty months, you've been together for twenty months now and have been engaged for almost four?" Hunny asks
"Yes" both Kyoya and Haruhi answer.
"Why did you hide it for so long though?" Hunny asks on the verge of tears
"We were scared to let everyone know Sempai. It's a stupid reason I know and I should have told you several times, but I didn't and I don't know why." Haruhi leans back against the counter on the verge of tears herself. She really wanted them to find out, but not in the way they had.
"We weren't just scared. It was more of an 'I don't want anybody else hurt' kind of deal. I asked Haruhi out on a whim and never expected it to last as long as it has. If we had broken up I didn't want all of you to start picking sides and the club to split up. We were both in agreement that if we did break up that we wouldn't let it affect how we treated or acted around one another." Kyoya explains "After the Ouran Fair last year with everything that had happened…we should have told you then, but we didn't and I am truly sorry." He bows. "But I don't regret asking her."
"I just don't understand how, how on earth have you two been able to keep it up this long?" Hunny asks starting to calm down a bit.
"Commitment, trust, dedication…love. Take your pick Sempai, we don't even know." Kyoya sighs
"You've always acted so cold to Haru-chan though, how could you expect any of us to think that you two were together." Hunny points out "and Haru-chan's always been so oblivious I didn't even know she was in love with you until that day after club when you two were arguing."
"Oh yeah, that was a lie as well Sempai" Haruhi sighs
"What happened there?" he asks in disbelief.
"We were arguing about his brother Akito-san, who apparently had a small...attraction for me."
"Yes, thank god that little infatuation of his turned into brotherly affection soon after you saved his life." Kyoya sighs.
"His life-?"
"I saved Akito-san's life not Kyoya's." Haruhi explains. "Yoshio-san changed the media for the story because-"
"At the time you weren't supposed to know who Ootori-san was?" Hunny finishes in the form of a question.
"Yes" she sighs in defeat.
"…As much as I don't like that you've kept all this from us I kind of understand why you did it." Hunny says finally. "Right Takashi?"
"Ah"
"And you two are very much in love and are happy together right?"
"Yes"
"All right…congratulations to you both" Hunny smiles.
"Surely you have more questions than that?" Haruhi asks.
"We do, but they are the same questions that the others are going to want to know as well." Hunny sighs. "As much as we want to know I won't make you repeat them."
"You are going to have a lot more trouble with the others." Mori states. "we'll try to help you out, but there's only so much we can do."
"We know and thank you both very much." Haruhi smiles going over to hug Hunny tightly. "I am deeply sorry though." she mutters to him.
"I know" was his only reply, as he pulls away. "You need to let the others know soon."
"We know they will know by the end of the week." Kyoya states, as Haruhi gives Mori a hug and walks back over to Kyoya.
"Speaking of the others…the deadline is up." Haruhi notes looking out the window and seeing that the sun was beginning to set. "We should probably call them to make sure they're all right."
"We'll do it, you two can finish dinner." Hunny tells them. "And Kyo-chan no more distracting the cook ne?" he asks leaving the room with Takashi.
"You heard him Kyoya, why don't you go and figure out where the others are as well?" Haruhi tells him picking up the knife she had dropped.
"If I promise to stay at the counter will you let me stay?" he sighs moving away.
"…Fine, but stay over there." she laughs. "How do you think that went?" she asks after a while.
"Considering both of us flat out lied to one of them at one point during the last year I have to say I am thoroughly surprised at how well they took it." He states.
"It's not over though they have only accepted it for now, as soon as the others figure it out the real questioning will begin." She sighs.
"Are you worried?"
"Mori-sempai's right, the others reactions are going to be a lot worse, so yes I'm a bit worried."
"We will be able to handle it you know."
"…I know, look it sounds as though the others are back, why don't you go see them before they ask what you're doing in here with me." She sighs, as they can both hear Tamaki's voice at the other end of the house.
"Fine" he growls walking over to her and kissing her swiftly, before disappearing out of the door. Leaving her alone to finally finish dinner.
During dinner the twins and Tamaki pestered Haruhi about what she wanted to do for the rest of the week. They were amazed that she managed to get back first, they had all decided to take the main road and ended up getting lost. She finally decides that she wants to go into town the next day and then they all move into the theatre room and watch the second Harry Potter. Haruhi grew bored. Kyoya had his smile of the devil throughout half of the movie, scaring most of them. Tamaki ended up crying at the end. The twins laughed and Hunny and Mori seemed to be enjoying it.
"Good-night all." Tamaki yawns after the movie had ended and leaves the room.
"Night Haruhi." The twins call following him out.
Hunny makes sure that the others have left and walks over to where Haruhi was sitting. "Is something wrong Sempai?" she asks, as he hugs her tightly.
"Good-night Haru-chan" he smiles, letting her go and turning to face Kyoya. "Take good care of her Kyo-chan" he murmurs, before he and Mori leave the room.
"Like I have to be told to take care of you" he smirks getting up and taking her hand.
"They're just worried." She laughs leaning up to kiss him, before they both head off to bed.
"Kyoya" Haruhi groans with pleasure, as he rolls over to lay beside her and she curls up closer to him at almost five in the morning.
"What did you not like that?" He asks teasingly, before kissing her softly.
"Bastard" she murmurs curling up close to him. They lay like this for a few moments, until Haruhi remembers something. "Oh crap."
"What is it Haruhi?" Kyoya asks.
"…The twins have the key to my door and I'm not in my room." she states.
"Your point?" he asks kissing her again.
"Neither one of us is going to be getting up before noon. If the twins come into my room to wake me up. They won't find me in my own bed, so I have to get up." She sighs, trying to get free from his grasp.
"Why do the twins have your key in the first place?" he asks still not letting her go and kissing her softly again.
"I forgot I gave it to them earlier when I asked if they could get my book from my nightstand." She sighs, as he finally lets her free.
"Oh yes, the one you were reading during the movie?"
"That's the one." She smiles leaning over to kiss him, before regretfully crawling out of the warm bed. "We both know it's best that I go back to my room anyways." She adds.
"Yeah I know. Are you going to be all right getting to your room?" he asks sitting up slowly. "I mean we've been up all night."
"I'm fine, my room is just through the closet." she laughs. "I'm just going to go take a shower and go to bed." She yawns wrapping herself up in a robe she finds in one of the bathroom. "I suggest you do the same."
"I'm going to." He yawns getting out of the bed.
"Sleep well." She calls over her shoulders, as she walks over to the closet.
"You too." He calls, before she disappears into her room.
...I am so glad I split these chapters up 13,204 words for just the first three days is ridiculous, but I like everything in this chapter and am glad I was able to write all I wanted to. Hope you all liked the first three days at the beach. The next chapter will hopefully be up soon, at least I hope so. As usual thank you all for the reviews and for reading The Missing Piece. xD
-I'm sorry, but after looking through my notes again and figuring out all I want to do for the beach. The week at the beach is going to be split into three parts. Again sorry, but otherwise it'll just get to long and I don't plan on skipping any of the days.
-I decided to keep it in the T rating, but I know I am probably pushing or will be pushing the border on M. I don't really know the limits on ratings, but if it was M something on the site would warn me right? Sorry i'm just kind of paranoid about things like this.
