Day 6
Kyoya wakes up to the shower running in one of the bathrooms and he knows once again that she managed to get up before him. 'How the hell does she do this every morning?' He wonders rolling over to look at the clock, which read 9:17 AM. He can feel himself drifting off to sleep again when he hears the water stop running and few moments later Haruhi comes out wrapped in a towel, with her hair still dripping wet.
"Morning" she smiles when she sees him.
"What time did you get up?" He asks groggily and attempting to sit up in the bed.
"About twenty minutes ago." She replies walking over to the bed and looking through her suitcase. "You can sleep some more if you want."
"No I'm getting up, seeing you in only a towel seems to have woken me up." He smirks.
"Pervert." She laughs throwing a pillow at him.
"Only with you love." He yawns getting out of bed. "So, this is your last day to decide what to do. Going to make us do something commoner-like?" he jokes.
"Sort of, you and I have spent only one day on the beach in total this week." She claims.
"So you want to spend the day on the beach?" He confirms.
"Yep I wanted too yesterday, but we all know how the weather decided to be." She sighs. "It's a beautiful day today too, so I thought we could spend it outside."
"Whatever you want Haruhi, it's your choice." He yawns again, before walking over and kissing her. "I'll meet you downstairs in a little while."
"All right." She smiles kissing him back.
"I suggest you wear that chocker again the mark is still there." He advises.
"I will." She promises, as he disappears into his room.
"Haruhi, you're actually up before ten." The twins greet her, as she walks into the dining room.
"Shut up you two." She growls. "I've just been so tired the past few days."
"We can tell." They grin, as she sits down and they hand her a plate filled with food. There's still some eggs and bacon left over if you want some more afterwards.
"Thanks." She smiles.
"So is Kyoya-sempai awake?" Hikaru asks, as she starts to eat.
"Yeah, he should be down in a few minutes. I wouldn't say too much to him though. I don't think he's too happy with me waking him up this early." She warns them.
"If there's one thing we know it's to not bother the Shadow King in the morning." They tell her.
"Good, so where are the others?" She asks.
"Dunno." They shrug, as Tamaki walks into the room.
"Haruhi, you're up before noon." He exclaims.
"Yes the twins and I have already covered that." She sighs. "What's your point?"
"Nothing I'm just surprised that's all." He tells her.
"What, are you so shocked you can't move? You're in the way Tamaki." A cold voice growls from behind him.
"Ah, good morning Kyoya." He stutters moving out of the way. "Good to see you're awake, but how on earth did Haruhi manage to wake you up this early?" he asks.
"Why don't you ask her?" He growls sitting down and accepting a cup of coffee she hands him. Three pairs of eyes look at Haruhi.
"Hey, you're the one who wanted me to get you up when I woke up this morning." She points out to Kyoya.
"True enough." He sighs, as Hunny and Mori walk in.
"Kyo-chan, Haru-chan good morning." Hunny smiles from Mori's shoulders.
"Good morning you two." Haruhi smiles, as Kyoya only nods in their direction.
"So Haru-chan what do you want to do today?" Hunny asks. "We have all day before we have to get ready for the festival tonight."
"Which is why I want to spend the day on the beach." She tells them.
"Finally, you haven't played with us since our second day here." The twins point out.
"I know, which is why I also want to ask if you two wanted to play volleyball again?" she asks biting into an apple.
"Awesome we're in." They grin and turn to Tamaki. "What about you milord? Haruhi can't play against us alone."
"Of course I'll play with you three." Tamaki states. "Since Haruhi is playing it'll really be a rematch from the other day."
While the three of them were talking Haruhi turns to Kyoya, who had a feeling knew what was coming. "Sempai, can you please be our referee?" she asks him.
"Why don't you get Hunny-sempai, or Mori-sempai to referee for you?" he sighs.
"Mori-sempai is too quiet and Hunny-sempai can't stay focused long enough to judge fairly." She tells him.
"That's a little harsh don't you think?" he asks.
"Not really, she has a good point." Hunny says smiling at him, as Mori only nods.
"Please Sempai?" She asks again.
"…Damn it fine." He gives in. "I'll judge your silly game."
"Thank you Sempai." She smiles. "I'm going to go change and I'll meet you guys outside." She tells the others getting up and wandering out of the room. The other three follow her out.
"You're having a hard time refusing her anything aren't you Kyo-chan?" Hunny asks trying hard not to laugh.
"She doesn't ask for much, so when she does ask something of me I can't help but give it to her." He sighs and gets up.
"She is a stubborn girl." Hunny agrees. "Have you two decided when to tell the others yet? We only have today and tomorrow before we leave."
"Tomorrow." He states.
"Takashi and I will do all we can, but try to remember we don't know everything either. So there really isn't much we will be able to do."
"I know Sempai and thank you." He bows slightly, before walking out of the room.
"Ow, damn it Kaoru." Haruhi laughs, as she gets hit in the head with the ball again and falls to the ground.
'Why do you two devil twins insist on hurting my daughter?" Tamaki shouts, as Kyoya helps a still laughing Haruhi back onto her feet.
"It's not our fault." They insist.
'Sempai it's really not." Haruhi sighs. "We all know I don't play sports very well. I just need to stop trying to go for the ball and getting hit."
"Haruhi-"
"It's fine Sempai really and it's not like falling in sand really hurts." She insists picking the ball up and tossing it over to Kyoya. "Are you ready to start again?"
"Of course" He insists, as Kyoya only nods and tosses the ball.
About 12:30 Hunny and Mori walked out of the house with a sort of picnic prepared for them to eat out on the beach, after the volleyball game ended. "Looks like you two won again." Haruhi was smiling; as they sat down to eat.
"You two didn't make it easy for us this time though. That last game nearly killed us." The twins laugh. "How the hell did you manage to hit the ball that bounced off of Tono's head?"
"You know as well as I do that was luck." Haruhi states, biting into a sandwich.
"It was very humorous Haruhi and ended up as a great picture." Kyoya smirks beside her.
"When did you-? You know what never mind." She sighs; as she watches the twins begin to feed one another and Tamaki talking to Hunny. 'I'm going to miss all of us being able to do this.' She thinks, before taking a sip of her tea.
After lunch Hunny and Haruhi built several sandcastles with the help of everyone, but Kyoya, who amused himself by taking pictures and teasing Tamaki about the way he was building his.
Eventually the others ended up in the water and Kyoya and Haruhi were once again lounging in beach chairs, or rather Kyoya was Haruhi was lying down on a blanket writing in her journal.
"Any clue as to what on earth they're doing now?" Kyoya asks, causing her to look up for a minute and see the rest of them forming some sort of line.
"I don't know, but give it a minute I'm sure we'll see soon enough." She replies, as they watch a wave begin to form and wash over the five of them. Hunny and Mori were the only ones able to stand their ground. Given how small Hunny is Haruhi was surprised. "Well I assume it has something to do with jumping waves."
"I guess so." He sighs, as she returns to writing. "What do you write in that thing anyways?" he asks curiously.
"What is the Shadow King actually curious?" She laughs turning to look up at him.
"Not as much as you seem to think." He replies
"Liar." She laughs. "So if I went to go ask Tamaki-sempai a question right now and left, you wouldn't skim through this?" she asks starting to get up.
"Of course not." He states.
"Fine I'll be right back." She sighs and walks over to the group in the water.
'Surely she didn't I would actually look, but it may be fun to see what kind of reaction I can get from her.' He thinks watching as Tamaki runs over to her. 'Let's see look through it and get her mad at me and get a sort of reaction, or don't and continue to be bored with this book.' When he thought of it like that the choice was obvious, so he gets up and picks up her journal. He manages to read the first page, which was mostly talking about her trip to New York and him accidently revealing to his family that they are engaged, when he hears her voice which was something between a yell and a laugh.
"Damn it Kyoya I knew I couldn't trust you."
"You were the one who left." He retorts, as she reaches him and he hold her journal well above his head where he knew she couldn't reach.
"You can be such a jerk." She argues, but there was clearly humor in her voice.
"Yet you love me for it." He smirks watching her weak attempts to jump up and reach it.
"Yet I love you for it." She sighs, as he taps her on the top of her head with it and hands her journal back. "You know its times like these that make me wonder why the hell I'm in love with you at all."
He notes she uses 'I'm in love,' so he doesn't worry. "Why do you think you're in love with me?" he asks curiously sitting back down.
"Well you're the cool type in the host club right? Maybe I just fell for that." She teases.
"Like I'm going to believe for a second that that's why you fell for me Haruhi." He states.
"Kyoya I love you because you really are a good guy, who tries to hide it. You're brilliant, kind, have some dark humor-but it's funny, and you know what to say at the right times." She lists. "And I guess it's because you're…you. I don't know how to explain it."
"How about things that you don't like about me?" he asks.
"Are we making a list now?" she laughs, as he just looks at her curiously. "Fine…you're a bit of a sadist, you're far too cunning, the way you can manipulate anyone is a bit scary, and you can be a bit arrogant at times."
"Is that all?" He laughs.
"I can probably think of some more in both categories, but I don't think I really need to. I love you for being youKyoya that's not going to change." She tells him.
"Glad to hear that Haruhi" He states. He was going to comment on her negative list, but he knew all those things about him where true to some extent, so he didn't push it.
"What no comments on what you love and don't like about me?" She asks.
Like you just told me Haruhi I love you for just being you. There's always something about the other person that you don't completely like, but you learn to see past that and move on." He explains.
"…I love you too Kyoya." She yawns.
"Are you still tired?" he asks curiously, as he watches her nod slightly. "You can go to sleep you know." He points out.
"There's no way I'm falling asleep on the blanket and risking getting sunburned." She states.
"You can sleep next to me if you want." He offers.
"And by that you mean on you? Surely there isn't enough room." She asks laughing inwardly at the idea.
"I don't particularly mind Haruhi. I can move over and we can both share the beach chair, or you can be stubborn and lay down in the sun."
"…What about the others?" she asks looking back over to the water where the rest of their group were playing, what she assumed was, the game chicken again.
"We're going to tell them tomorrow anyways." He states. "Do you really care what they think or see today?"
"No, you're right." She sighs and walks over to where he was sitting.
"So you are going to sit next to me?" he confirms.
"Yes, and don't worry I won't try to do anything." She smirks.
"Like I'm afraid of you." He laughs, as she sits down and tries to settle herself down next to him.
"No, but you're afraid for me." She points out settling her head on his chest.
"True, now come on you should be going to sleep." He tells her taking one of her hands in his. "You don't want to be tired for the festival tonight."
"Are you sure this is okay?" she asks.
"Just go to sleep Haruhi." She hears his voice, as she slowly drifts off.
"Haruhi, why are you sleeping with mommy like that?" she hears Tamaki's voice screaming at her.
'The hell-?' Opening her eyes slowly. "Tamaki-sempai, shut up." She growls trying to get a grip on the current situation and realizing the position she and Kyoya were in. Kyoya was asleep with one arm wrapped around her waist and his other was grasped firmly with one of hers. Her head was still on his chest, her free hand was laid across his stomach, and her legs, for reasons unknown, were tangled with his. 'Well this looks…interesting.' She sighs inwardly lifting her head to see five pairs of eyes staring at them.
Ignoring them for a moment she manages to untangle herself from Kyoya's grasp and begins to shake him slightly. "Sempai, Sempai you need to get up." She murmurs. Scared of what Kyoya might do to them if he wakes up the others back away as far as they can, but still within hearing distance.
"Haruhi." Kyoya murmurs opening his eyes slowly.
"I didn't think you would fall asleep too." She smiles down at him.
"Oh shut up." He growls looking around slightly. "What made you get up?"
"Tamaki-sempai was practically screaming in my ear." She sighs, as he smirks.
""Kyoya why were you and Haruhi sleeping like that?" Tamaki asks slowly walking back over to where the two were talking.
"Shut up Tamaki." Kyoya growls and slowly starts to get up, as the others wander back over.
"I wanted to take a nap and didn't want to fall asleep in the sun, so Kyoya-sempai let me sleep next to him." Haruhi explains trying to act like it was really no big deal.
"Why would the Shadow King do that?" Hikaru asks angrily looking over to Kyoya.
"Had I not she would've either fallen asleep in the sun, gotten a sunburn, and I would spend our last few days dealing with all of you worrying about her." Kyoya explains. "And if she hadn't fallen asleep she may have passed out during the festival tonight and would've caused me more problems with you all."
"So there was benefit in it for you." Haruhi laughs. "I knew there had to be another reason of why you were being so kind to me."
"If there's no benefit in doing something, then it's no worth doing Haruhi." Kyoya states.
"Only to you Kyoya-sempai." She smirks
"How is it you two always seem to end up in a strange position when you sleep together?" Hunny asks honestly curious.
"Who knows?" They answer together.
"So it looks like we have a little less than an hour to get ready for the festival." Kyoya points out watching the sun beginning to set. "Let's head inside, get ready, and meet at the car in about a half an hour."
"Yay, do you think they'll be fireworks?" Hunny asks, as they all agree with Kyoya and start packing up their things and walking back up to the house.
"Don't know. I wasn't even aware there was a festival in town this week." Kyoya replies.
"Since when do you not know something Sempai?" Haruhi asks.
"I was a bit busy last week with family matters and didn't have time to look up what kind of events would be going on in town this week." He states.
'Meaning he was with Kichiro most of the week. He really is taking the role of godfather really seriously.' Haruhi smiles inwardly, before they all walked back into the house to get ready.
"Wow Haru-chan, you look great." Hunny tells her, as she steps into the car where the others were waiting for her.
She was wearing a deep red yukata adorned with patterns of various flowers, the sash around her waist was pearl white, and her hair was done up with more flowers and feathers. "Did you two make this yourselves?" she asks the twins, as she sat down between Kyoya and Tamaki.
"Of course" they reply, grinning at her.
"Well it's beautiful. Thank you very much." She smiles back at the two of them.
"We just want you to be happy Haruhi." They murmur. She notices they stare from Tamaki and back over to her a few times before looking out the window. She shares a quick glance with Kyoya and then moves on to talk to Hunny.
"This place looks great." The twins comment, as the group was walking through the completely transformed village. "Completely different from the peaceful village we saw from a few days ago."
"Haruhi, you have to play some games with daddy and let me win you prizes." Tamaki declares placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Sempai I'm really not much into carnival games." She sighs. Tamaki proceeds to move to his emo corner and give her the most pathetic look she's ever seen. "…fine I'll play a few games with you." She gives in, knowing he was going to get what he wanted one way or the other.
"Yay my daughter does love her daddy." Tamaki cries happily, before grabbing Haruhi's arm and leading her away into the crowd.
Kyoya smirks and turns around to see that only he and the twins were left standing around. "Kyoya-sempai, you seem to know everything about everyone." The twins start to ask. "Why do you think to boss and Haruhi are hiding the fact they're dating?"
"If they were really dating do you really think Tamaki would be able to keep it a secret for long?" Kyoya replies honestly.
"…So you don't think they are?" They ask.
"I'm simply saying that Tamaki doesn't have the skills to keep anything a secret from his best friends." He states.
"Then what's with all the-?" The twins are cut off by two female voices calling the twin's names. Kyoya turns around to see two girls dressed in similar yukata's. One was a few inches taller than the other, pale skinned, bright blue eyes, and long black hair down to her waist. The other was almost similar only shorter and with green eyes. "Mitsuki, Maron it's good to see you two again." The twins smile.
"Who's this?" The shorter one asks turning to Kyoya.
"Oh right, Kyoya-sempai this is Mitsuki." Hikaru points to the taller one.
"And this is her younger sister Maron." Kaoru points to the shorter one.
"It's very nice to meet you two lovely princesses." Kyoya nods to the two of them. "I'm Kyoya and I wish to thank you for letting the twins know of this festival this evening."
"Oh it was no trouble at all. It's always nice to see new faces around here." Mitsuki smiles at him. "But do you mind if we borrow the twins from you for a little while?"
"Not at all I should be going to find our idiot king anyways." He sighs.
"Is that the guy who was yelling at the two of you the other day in the park?" Maron asks.
"Yep, he dragged off a friend of ours a while ago and who knows what he making her do now." Hikaru laughs.
"I will see the two of you later then, have fun." Kyoya waves and disappears into the crowd.
"I'm surprised the twins haven't started following us." Tamaki tells Haruhi, after about three hours. They were wandering around some of the little stores and Haruhi was rather enjoying herself, after Tamaki had played every carnival game that was available and was currently carrying a huge stuffed tanuki.
"Why would they be following us?" Haruhi asks, while trying some of the mochi she got from a stand earlier.
"They don't like it when I monopolize your time." He laughs, as she feeds him a piece.
"There's really no reason they should care though we're just friends right?" She asks.
"Of course, but I think they're just a bit jealous. I mean you are dating one of them aren't you?" He asks. She almost drops the plate she's holding.
"What" She manages to get out. 'Then again why am I so surprised Kyoya told me that Tamaki-sempai thinks I'm dating one of them.' She sighs inwardly.
"You don't have to hide it from me Haruhi. I already know it's one of them." He tells her. "But why are you keeping it a secret?"
"That's-"She's cut off by the sound of Kyoya's voice calling the two of them. "Hello Kyoya-sempai, is something wrong?" She asks, as he reaches the two of them.
"Not at all I was merely curious if either of you have seen any of the others. The fireworks are going to start in about a half an hour and we should all head back to the house after that." He explains.
"What time is it anyways?" Haruhi asks him.
"It's almost ten." He replies.
"I'll go find the others just wait here you two." Tamaki tells them.
"Are you sure?" Kyoya asks surprised at his friends' willingness to leave Haruhi with him.
"Yeah don't worry I'll find them and we'll meet you two over here in a little while." He assures them, before disappearing into the crowd.
"What on earth happened between you two?" Kyoya asks her after awhile. "He seemed like he was trying to get away from you."
"I don't know we were talking about the twins and he asked which one of them I'm dating and before I could answer you showed up." She explains.
"He was probably too afraid of what your answer was going to be." Kyoya sighs leading her over to sit on a bench outside of a store.
"Thank god you showed up when you did." She sighs sitting down next to him and placing her head on his shoulder. "I was actually considering telling him straight up that I am not dating one of the twins."
"That still wouldn't have fazed him too much. Even if you did admit that you aren't dating one of the twins his next guess would've been Hunny-sempai, or Mori-sempai." He points out.
"True, you are the last person they would expect me to be dating." She smiles, as he turns his head and leans down to kiss her quickly and they continue to watch other people in the crowd enjoy themselves.
"Well this has been a fun night." Haruhi smiles, as they all walk back into the house at almost midnight.
"I'm exhausted." The twins whine from behind her.
"I think we all are." Tamaki yawns walking in with Kyoya and behind them Mori walked in holding a sleeping Hunny in his arms.
"I think it's best if we all go to bed." Kyoya suggests. "Tamaki what are the plans for tomorrow?"
"Well I don't want to go anywhere, so we can stay in the house or go play on the beach again." He replies. "It really doesn't matter. It's our last day, so let's make it a memorable one."
'It will be for sure.' Both Haruhi and Kyoya think, as they all head upstairs.
Day 7
It was nine in the morning when Tamaki opens his eyes and sits up in bed the memories starting to come back from the night before. 'I don't understand why I found the twins laughing and flirting with those two ladies last night. Haruhi didn't even seem to mind that they hung out with us during the fireworks and even talked and laughed with them.' He sighs and gets out of bed to get ready for the day.
Downstairs he finds Hunny and Mori in the dining room eating, well Hunny was eating a mountain of pancakes and Mori had a cup of coffee in his hand. "Morning Sempais are the others still asleep?" he asks, though already knowing Kyoya would still be.
"Morning Tama-chan" Hunny smiles at him. "Hika-chan and Kao-chan are awake and said something about going onto the beach. I think they wanted to call those two girls they hung out with last night."
"What? That's it I'm sick of their stupid game." Tamaki states angrily.
"What game?" Hunny asks curiously.
"They're trying to get me to guess which one of them is dating Haruhi I know it, but if they are actually resorting to cheating on her then I'm done. I'm just going to go out there and ask them directly which one of them she's dating." He snaps and runs out of the room.
"Uh-oh looks like this is it. It's a lot earlier then I would have thought." Hunny sighs finishing his meal quickly. "Should we go and warn Haru-chan and Kyo-chan?"
"If they're asleep do you really want to be the one who wakes Kyoya up?" Mori asks.
"…No, but-"
"Let's not worry about it quite yet Mitsukuni. We should go back upstairs, that way we can hear the others coming if they plan to get into their rooms." He states.
"All right that's good. C'mon then Takashi." Hunny tells him getting up. 'This is really it…good luck Haru-chan, Kyo-chan.' He thinks, as they run out of the room and head upstairs.
Haruhi wakes up comfortably curled up in Kyoya's chest and turns around slightly to check the time. '9:15, we should get up.' She yawns and tries to struggle out of his grasp. "Kyoya we should really get up. Today's the day after all."
"Don't want to." He groans, as she manages to at least sit up in the bed.
Sighing she leans down to kiss him, causing his eyes to at least open from surprise. "You awake now?" She asks smirking.
"You play dirty." He comments, as he yawns and manages to sit up next to her.
"This is coming from the guy who tries to take advantage of me just to get some information." She laughs.
"…Point taken." He sighs, as she crawls out of the warm bed.
"Have you seen my shirt?" She asks looking around.
"Why, you look much better like this." He smirks, as he watches her.
"Don't start on that again." She laughs. "Have you seen it or not?"
"Yeah here," he says tossing her a shirt from the floor.
"But this is yours." She comments, as she catches the garment.
"This is coming from the girl who wore men's clothing her entire first year of high school?" He asks trying hard not to laugh, as he watches her face go from confusion to embarrassment.
"Oh…right." She manages to get out, as she throws his shirt on anyways and moves over to open the blinds.
"What's wrong is something going on out there?" Kyoya asks, as she continues to stare out of the window and he moves over to stand behind her.
"I don't know it looks like Tamaki-sempai and the twins are arguing about something down at the beach." She tells him pointing to where she sees the three of them.
"Looks more like their playing another dumb game to me." Kyoya comments, as he watches them.
"You always think whatever the three of them are doing is stupid." She laughs.
"You're going to tell me half the time it isn't?" he asks.
"…No I suppose not."
"C'mon we should change and head downstairs." He says taking her hand in his.
"Whatever happens today Kyoya…I love you." She smiles, before kissing him on the cheek and wandering into her room.
'Love you too Haruhi.' He thinks, before getting ready for the day ahead.
"Great day to hang out on the beach isn't it Kaoru?" Hikaru asks, as the brothers were walking along the beach and enjoying the cool morning breeze.
"It is, but what do you think the boss will have us do today?" he asks.
"As long as we get to play on the beach it really doesn't matter to me." Hikaru answers.
"True" Kaoru notes, as they decide to sit on a stone wall and face the ocean. "So are you going to call Mitsuki today? You and she really seemed to hit it off last night and she could tell when it was me and not you."
"I don't know yet. I mean she seems like a great girl but-"
"You're still trying to get over Haruhi?" Kaoru asks. "I thought you said you were willing to accept that you lost?"
"I am, but not until I know for sure that she is dating him." He replies. "What about you and Maron?"
"She's great, but after talking to her she just likes to fool around. If you and Mitsuki get together we can be good friends, but I doubt anything else is going to happen." Kaoru laughs.
"Really, I didn't realize she was like that?"
"That's because you were too busy talking and flirting with Mitsuki all night. Really Hikaru it's no big deal I'm more worried about you."
"All right I'll call her if it'll get you off my back." Hikaru jokes and pulls out his phone.
"So she's dating you Kaoru?" They hear Tamaki behind them.
"Tono-? When did you get here?" They ask in unison.
"I came to find the two of you because I'm sick of playing this game." He tells them.
"What game?"
"The game of trying to get me to guess which one of you is dating Haruhi. It's Kaoru isn't it, so now we can just move on with our lives and you and Haruhi don't have to hide it anymore." Tamaki tells them.
"Dating one of-what?" The twins ask in surprise. "…Isn't she dating you Tono?"
"No…I thought she was dating one of you." He states. "She turned me down a few months ago because she said she was dating someone else in the club."
"She told me almost the same thing before valentine's day, when she turned me down." Hikaru tells him and they both turn to Kaoru.
"Don't look at me I never asked her. Really Hikaru if I was dating her you would be the first to know." Kaoru points out.
"So if it isn't any of us…you don't think?" Tamaki murmurs.
"Mori-sempai told us it wasn't him or Hunny-sempai so…it can't be." The twins stare at Tamaki their mouths agape.
Without another word the three of them start racing back to the house. "Surely she isn't in love with him right?" Hikaru asks, as they reach the house and start racing upstairs.
"This can go both ways. There's no way he can be in love with her right?" Kaoru asks.
Tamaki was being terrifyingly quiet as they reach the hall where the others slept. "Kyoya, Kyoya open up I need to talk to you." He states knocking on Kyoya's door.
"What are you three doing now?" Hunny asks walking out of his room with Mori.
The three of them immediately corner the two of them. "Please tell us it's one of you?" The twins ask.
"One of us what?" Hunny asks.
"One of you is dating Haruhi right?" Tamaki asks.
"Oh…that." Hunny sighs. "I'm afraid it's neither Takashi nor I."
"How long have the two of you known?" Kaoru asks, as Hikaru and Tamaki slump against the nearest wall.
"A few months." Hunny admits.
"So it's true." Kaoru sighs.
"You sound like you had a vague idea about it." Mori tells him
"I did, but I didn't believe it could ever be true." He tells them, as Tamaki gets up slowly, walks back over to Kyoya's door, and starts to knock again.
"He won't answer Tama-chan." Hunny tells him. "He and Haru-chan went downstairs almost ten minutes ago."
"Together?" Hikaru asks.
Hunny only nods, as they watch Tamaki open Kyoya's door and walks inside. "Tono, what do you expect to find in his room if they're both downstairs already?" Hikaru asks, as the rest of them join him.
"I don't know. Something that proves that this is just a joke or that I'm just dreaming." He answers. "This just can't be true. Is it really possible that she could love him, or for him to love her?"
"Yeah the Shadow King in love with a commoner, there's something none of us would ever think of." Kaoru laughs weakly, as Hikaru starts wandering around.
"Guys I know you're upset, but this is still Kyo-chan's room. Do you really want to be in here when he comes back up?" Hunny asks nervously looking at the door.
"Hey, is this Haruhi's shirt?" Hikaru asks picking up the white blouse Haruhi changed into after the festival.
"What, so Kyoya just let her in last night and didn't let her leave?" Tamaki asks panic in his voice.
"Tono this is a connecting room it wouldn't have been hard for her to leave if she really wanted to, which apparently she didn't." Kaoru points out.
"This is a connecting room?" Hikaru asks.
"Through the closet." Kaoru gestures, as Tamaki goes over to see. He comes back a few seconds later to confirm. "What I want to know is what the hell is really going on."
"Well don't look at us, we only know bits and pieces as well." Hunny tells them, as they turn to face him.
"Well let's go downstairs I want to know as well." Tamaki growls and is the first out of the room. The others follow him out and they all head downstairs.
They were all about to walk into the dining room when Haruhi's laughter stops them and they end up only opening the door slightly to see Haruhi and Kyoya at the table eating.
"Okay Fuyumi I can see doing that, but you? That's completely out of character Kyoya, even for you." Haruhi was laughing.
"I'm not lying Haruhi and I thought I asked you not to laugh?" he points out, but hides a small smile as he drinks his coffee.
"I'm sorry, but how can anybody not laugh at the fact that you-"
"I'd rather it not be repeated Haruhi." He cuts her off.
"Right sorry." She smiles at him.
"So what about you?" he asks.
"Just because you told me something embarrassing about your past still doesn't mean I'm saying a thing about mine." She tells him. "Surely my father has told you enough stories to keep me embarrassed for well over a month."
"He has, but I'm sure the stories would be more humorous coming from you." He smirks.
"Sadist" she murmurs getting up and collecting their plates.
He only smirks. "Haruhi you know I have ways to get you to talk."
"What, do you really believe that tactic will work for you anymore?" She actually laughs.
"It always works when I'm dealing with you." He points out.
"Kyoya" She growls, as she walks towards the kitchen and he gets up and starts to follow her
"Haruhi" he says in the same mocking tone.
Sighing she stops and turns around to face him, only to be backed against a wall with his arms on either side of her. "Sometimes I think you just enjoy doing things like this." She smiles up at him.
"I do, but I enjoy doing this more." He states, before leaning in and kissing her.
The next few moments go by in a flash. Hunny and Mori walk in trying to restrain the twins, but they didn't have enough arms to stop Tamaki as well, who was yelling at Kyoya and walking over to where they were standing. There was a loud echoing of a slap around the room, breaking of plates, as they fall to the ground and shatter, and Haruhi falling to the ground.
"Tono" the twins yell in disbelief, as Hunny and Mori let them go from shock of what just happened.
"Haruhi, are you all right?" Kyoya panics getting down and helping her up. The others note the amount of concern in his voice.
"I'm fine Kyoya really." She assures him ignoring the throbbing pain on the left side of her face from where Tamaki had slapped her. "It's my own fault anyways. I'm lucky he turned his fist into a slap last second, or that would have hurt a lot more."
"Haruhi…I…" Tamaki was stuttering.
Haruhi turned to face him to assure him she was fine, but before she had the chance Tamaki had already fainted from looking at the red mark on her face. "Damn it Sempai." She sighs.
"Haruhi, you really shouldn't have jumped in front of me to begin with." Kyoya points out.
"I'm sick of you getting blamed for this though." She protests. "I have just as much to do with us being together as you do Kyoya."
"You're not going to ever stop with that are you?" He sighs.
"Never" she promises, before turning to the others. "I'm really sor…where's Hikaru?" She asks seeing that the older twin was missing.
'He left as soon as Tono fainted." Kaoru tells her.
"Should've seen that coming I suppose." Kyoya sighs.
"I'll go get him to come back." Haruhi
"Haruhi we should be getting some ice on your face." He tells her.
"Really, we should just let him calm down." Kaoru points out.
"I'm still going to go and talk to him." Haruhi decides walking over to the door. "Make sure Tamaki-sempai doesn't try to hurt Kyoya again when he wakes up would you?" She asks Hunny and Mori.
"After what he did to you I doubt he'll be awake before you get back." Hunny laughs.
"But we will do our best." Mori promises.
"Thanks." She smiles at them, before leaving the room.
"You don't seem all too angry Kaoru. Don't tell me you already knew as well?" Kyoya asks curiously.
"Don't misunderstand I'm pissed, but I have better control of my emotions and actions then Hikaru does." Kaoru tells him. "I just lost it for a moment there because seeing you being able kiss her so openly without her pushing you away…pissed me off a bit I guess."
"Understandable." Kyoya agrees looking down at Tamaki, who was still passed out.
"I just have one question before the real interrogation begins." Kaoru tells him sitting down at the table with Hunny and Mori. "Did you know we were on the other side of the door a while ago?"
"No, but we were going to tell the rest of you today that we are going out." Kyoya answers sitting down across from him, but still keeping an eye on Tamaki.
"I figured, but I just wanted to make sure." Kaoru sighs and they all go quiet and wait for Haruhi to get back.
"Hikaru, Hikaru I know you can hear me." Haruhi shouts at him, as she runs along the beach after him. "You can't just run away from this you know." He still doesn't stop walking. "Damn it…Hotta I need your help." She calls out, knowing there was no way she would be able to catch up to him at this pace.
"What the hell?" Hikaru asks, as he is suddenly grabbed and stopped by, who he recognizes as one of Kyoya's bodyguards. "Haruhi, what is this?"
"I'm sorry, but I knew I wouldn't be able to catch you." She sighs, as she reaches the two of them.
"So you control his bodyguards now?" he asks in disbelief, as Hotta lets him go.
"No just him." She replies. "Thank you Hotta."
"It was no trouble Haruhi-sama, good luck." He tells her before disappearing.
"Haruhi, what is going on?" Hikaru asks.
"I thought that was pretty obvious inside." She tells him.
"You know what I mean."
"…Yes I've been dating Kyoya and that's the reason I turned you down." She sighs.
"We thought for sure it was Tono, why didn't you tell us it wasn't?" he asks.
"You never asked if it was Tamaki-sempai." She points out. "It was always 'who are you dating' and I wasn't going to answer that, so I didn't."
"Why is it him?" He asks angrily.
"Is there a reason it shouldn't be him?" She retorts.
"He treats you like a possession and what on earth is he getting out of dating you?" He asks.
"He gets plenty of…different kinds of benefit by going out with me and I am not just a possession to him." She tells him. 'At least not anymore.'
"You really believe he isn't leading you on and planning to end this badly?" He asks.
"Do you really think that badly of him?" She asks angrily. "We've both been putting on an act in front of all of you. You've seen how he's been acting this week you can't stand there and tell me his behavior this week hasn't been a shock to you?"
"He's very good at acting." Hikaru sighs.
"No back home he's acting this whole week he hasn't been." She tells him. "You honestly think he hasn't killed me this week for waking him up early because he doesn't want to hurt me and get in trouble with all of you?"
"So…yesterday when we found you two sleeping in the beach chair?"
"He knew I was tired and offered to let me sleep next to him." She sighs. "Look I want to explain this all to you, but Tamaki-sempai might be awake by now and I don't want him trying to hurt Kyoya again. Please come back to the house with me and we'll answer all of your questions." She asks holding out her hand to him.
He sighs. "All right, can you guarantee I won't like what the two of you will tell us?" He asks taking her hand.
"Yep and I want to apologize to you beforehand." She almost smiles.
"Great can't wait." He groans, as she leads them back to the house.
When they reach the front door they see Kyoya waiting for them. Before either of them could say anything he spoke up. "We've moved into the den. I thought it would be more comfortable than sitting at the dining room table."
"Is Tamaki-sempai…conscious again?" She asks.
"No, but he's been murmuring your name for the past five minutes, so he should be up soon." He answers. "By the way here." He says tossing her a small ice pack. "Since you seem to have left the house in a hurry and forgot to grab one."
"Oh yeah…thank you." She smiles and welcoming the cool touch to her face.
"Of course, everything all right here?" he asks looking from Haruhi to Hikaru.
"For now" Hikaru growls and walks past him into the house.
"What did you tell him?" he asks.
"Next to nothing, but I did get him to come back to the house." She sighs.
"True" he comments. "Are you ready to face them?"
"Nope" She smiles at him. "But it can't be helped. I love you Kyoya."
"Love you too Haruhi." He states, before leaning down, kissing her swiftly, and leading her back into the house.
When they reach the den the twins were sitting in two of the chairs one each side of Tamaki, who was still unconscious. Hunny and Mori were both sitting on the couch, which left Haruhi and Kyoya to sit on the smaller loveseat in the front of the room. 'Oh that's nice, let the first thing Tamaki-sempai sees when he wakes up is Kyoya and I sitting comfortably together on a small couch.' She sighs inwardly, as they sat down.
"Come on Tono wake up, we all know slapping Haruhi was an accident." The twins try shaking him to no avail.
"Sempai I'm fine really please get up." Haruhi tries.
"Tamaki I'm in love with Haruhi." Kyoya states loud enough for Tamaki to hear him.
"Kyoya are you sure that will-?" Haruhi was cut off by Tamaki finally opening his eyes.
"Kyoya, how can you do this to any of us?" He asks. "What gives you the right to love her?"
"The right? Tamaki I had as much right to go after her, as any of you did. I just got to her first." Kyoya tells him.
"How long?" Kaoru asks calmly.
"We've been dating since the last time we were here." Haruhi puts in.
"So twenty months." Kyoya adds. Their reactions were by far the hardest to watch. Kaoru's eyes grew twice in size and slipped and fell off his chair. Hikaru stared at the two of them in shock, and Tamaki simply looked like a wounded puppy.
"W, when?" Kaoru gets out, seeing as he was the only one able to conjure up an actual word that made sense at the moment.
"I asked Haruhi out when I was helping her remove the blindfold and earplugs, when you had all left my room the last time we were here calling Tamaki an S&M king." Kyoya tell them. "Of course we didn't actually start going out until we got back home."
"How did you manage to go on dates and such?" Hunny asks, as the others were still trying to get over the amount of time they had been together.
"It really wasn't hard. We would go to a diner close to my home, or simply hang out at my place." Haruhi answers.
"I still don't understand how?" Tamaki finally manages to get a sentence out of his mouth.
"Dedication, trust…love. Take your pick Tamaki it was hard for us too." Kyoya sighs.
"How'd it even really start? Did you just ask her out and she accepted?" Hunny asks. "No offense, but you really weren't the dating type back then Haru-chan."
"…It started out as a deal to lower my debt." Haruhi admits. "The longer we stayed together the more my debt was erased."
"What?" The four of them, but Mori jumped up.
"I don't regret saying yes." Haruhi snaps, before they can really say anything. "My debt was paid off by Éclair at the Ouran Fair, so I've been debt free a hell of a lot longer than you think.
"Yet, here you are still with Kyoya." Tamaki sighs.
"I'm sorry to all of you, but I love him and am not going to change my mind on this." She states.
"Twenty months, so both of the times with Lobelia, dealing with Nekozawa-sempai's little sister, that time Hunny-sempai got a cavity, the newspaper club, even my date with Haruhi in Karuizawa…" Hikaru cuts off. "Wow, how am I not dead after that one?" he asks looking to Kyoya.
"You don't want to know." Kyoya tells him coldly. They all then turn to Haruhi.
"No he's right that's something we promised not to bring up again let's move on." Haruhi warns them.
"So the next would be…that time at the mall." Kaoru thinks, as Haruhi starts laughing and Kyoya only sighs.
"Yeah that was a fun one you should've seen-"
"Say anything more about Haruhi and I'll-"
"You'll what Kyoya? You know I'm not afraid of you." She smiles at him. He only smirks and gestures for her to come closer. He whispers something in her ear that the others don't hear; she blushes furiously, and mutters. "You know what never mind."
"…Okay, but I think the next big one was Kasanoda and the Ouran fair." Kaoru points out. "How the hell did you hide your emotions so well after he found out she was a girl Sempai?"
"Because the night after he found out Haruhi and I got into a fight, which resulted in me going over to her house, and it was resolved rather quickly." He answers.
"So when Kasanoda came in the next day we had already talked about it and he was able to…not get pissed I guess." Haruhi shrugs.
"I still don't understand what you get out of this Sempai." Hikaru tells him, not even hiding the anger in his voice.
"Well I love her, my family loves her and…look she's very dear to me and I don't plan on letting her get away." He states.
"Wait, your family loves her? The, we're the proud Ootori family, whose patriarch slaps his son during a public event?" Tamaki asks in disbelief.
"That's the one." Kyoya sighs.
"They're really not as bad as people think." Haruhi murmurs and they all go quiet.
"…When was your first kiss?" Hunny asks, trying to break the silence.
"It was just after the Ouran fair in the clubroom." Kyoya answers.
"It took you nine months to finally kiss her?" Hunny asks surprised.
"That's kind of-"Haruhi starts.
"A complicated matter." Kyoya finishes.
"So your families already knew the whole time?" Hunny asks.
"No, we told both of our families some time after the fair." Haruhi answers. "We told my father first and he accepted it rather quickly."
"My father wasn't too hard to convince either. Apparently he already approved of Haruhi, before we told him." Kyoya tells them.
"Why on earth would your father approve of her? No offense to you Haruhi, but Kyoya-sempai your father isn't exactly…the kind to want a commoner married into the family." Hikaru asks.
"Apparently I remind him of how Kyoya's mother acted when she was younger." Haruhi shrugs.
"That and you're the only girl to stand up to him." Kyoya adds.
"So you literally kept this between the two of you for the first nine months." Hunny confirms.
"Yes" Haruhi admits.
"So every time you asked Haruhi to stay after club hours-?" Tamaki asks.
"Was because I had to talk to her about something, or we were heading over to my house." Kyoya sighs.
"Every time?" Hikaru asks.
"No, or we were heading over to my place to study." She admits. "Regardless of our relationship status he really is a good tutor and study partner. How do you think I learned English so well?"
"Why would you keep it from us for so long though? You even allowed Hikaru and me to confess to her." Tamaki asks.
"Tamaki the first nine months we stayed quiet because we didn't want anything to change in the club. Haruhi and I were in an agreement that if we broke up it wouldn't change anything. After the fair, with you almost leaving and us finally deciding that our relationship wasn't fake anymore…we decided to act selfishly and continued to keep it a secret." Kyoya answered him.
"… Then I guess I'm to blame for this too." Tamaki laughs without humor. "I was the one who convinced you to go after the things you wanted back in middle school and now I'm paying the price for it."
"I am sorry Tamaki." Kyoya admits.
"I think that's the first time you've ever actually apologized to me." Tamaki sighs. "Look I'm still mad that you kept this from us for so long, but…I suppose I can eventually get over it."
"We can too." The twins tells them. "But we're still surprised at how well you've been able to hide all of this."
"We're both lot better liars then you seem to think we are." Haruhi smiles.
"Clearly." They laugh.
"Haruhi." Kyoya says turning to face her.
"What is it Kyoya-?" She asks and sees that he is looking at her neck where she is still wearing the necklace. "Oh…right." She sighs reaching up and unhooking the chain. "There's something else you should all know." She tells them tossing the necklace to the twins. "Kyoya and I are engaged to be married some time after I graduate next year."
Thankfully their reactions weren't as bad, as when they found out they were dating. They just all stared at the two of them mouths agape, only Hunny and Mori smile at them. Surprisingly Tamaki was the first to recover. "Is it an arranged marriage by your father?"
"No I told you at New Years, as long as I find a girl he approves of he didn't care." Kyoya replies.
"So you actually asked her to marry you yourself?" The twins ask in surprise handing Tamaki the necklace.
"Did you think I was incapable of doing something as simple as asking Haruhi to marry me?" he asks.
"Not at all we just didn't think it fit your character." The twins grin. They want to be mad, but being engaged to be married after sixteen months together wasn't exactly uncommon.
"If you haven't noticed I haven't been in character all week. I'm perfectly capable of acting differently then I normally am." He points out.
"True." They shrug then turning to Haruhi. "So you really were engaged to Kyoya-sempai that Monday after Valentine's day?"
"Yeah, we spent the day together and Kyoya asked me to marry him after lunch in a little café we like to go to." Haruhi tells them.
"It really took you sixteen months Kyo-chan?" Hunny asks.
"Don't start, we kept it secret from everybody for nine months and it did take a few more months to get my whole family's approval." He sighs. "Bottom line is we've been dating twenty months, we're engaged, and we won't be married until next year."
"No the bottom line here is that you two really are together and there's nothing we can do." The twins sigh, as Tamaki tosses the necklace back to Kyoya and he puts it back around Haruhi's neck.
"Well there is that." Kyoya smirks.
"Guys I'm really sorry." Haruhi sighs.
"…It's all right I'm still a bit pissed that you kept it secret for so long, but if you two are happy then that's all that matter and Kyoya, you better take damn good care of her." Tamaki tells them.
"You know you're not the first to tell me that." Kyoya actually laughs.
"We accept this arrangement too, we don't like it, but if you two are really happy then…fine we lose." The twins add.
"Well we accept it completely right Takashi?" Hunny smiles.
"Ah"
"Thanks guys…really." Haruhi smiles at all of them and, mostly out of habit, turns around to kiss Kyoya.
"Actually there's still one small thing I want to know." Hikaru asks, as the couple breaks apart. "Not that it's really any of our business, but what was Haruhi's shirt doing in your room Kyoya-sempai?"
"Yeah did you and Haruhi spend the night together?" Kaoru asks.
"What were you all doing in my room in the first place?" Kyoya asks, as Haruhi blushes furiously and tries to hide in Kyoya's shirt.
"We were looking for you." They state.
"Whether I say yes, or no you two will find some way to twist my words." Kyoya sighs. "So I'll leave it up to you to answer that question on your own."
"So you two did spend the night together?" They try and confirm.
"Believe what you want." Haruhi tells them regaining her composure. "At least we know where my shirt disappeared to. Is it still in Kyoya's room?"
"Yes, we left it on the bed." They answer.
"Thanks"
"Well this has been a…interesting two and a half hours." Tamaki sighs. "Why don't we have some lunch and go have some last day fun on the beach?"
"Sounds like a plan." Everyone agrees getting up and leaving the room.
"Haruhi may I come in?" Kyoya asks knocking on her connecting door a while later.
"Do you really need to ask anymore?" She laughs throwing on a shirt to cover her bathing suit up.
"I suppose not, but it's always polite to ask first." He comments, as he walks into the room. "How are you doing? Your face still hurt?"
"I'm fine Kyoya really; I've been in worse pain than this." She points out.
"Haruhi I-"
"I was referring to being stabbed." She cuts in.
"Of course you were." He smirks, as she unhooks a shirt from a hanger in the closet and throws it into her suitcase. "What are you doing? Packing?"
"Well we are leaving tomorrow I just don't want to leave anything last minute." She tells him, as he comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist.
"…How do you think that went?" She asks.
"Well none of the others have tried to beat me up yet, so I assume we're in the clear." He replies placing his chin on her shoulder.
"Well I certainly didn't plan to get slapped, but I don't think it went to badly either." She smiles, as she throws another shirt into her suitcase and turns around in order to hug him back.
"Yeah about that. Stop trying to defend me in those situations."
"I did promise I would stop didn't I?" She almost laughs.
"Yes you did." He growls.
"Can you believe this is finally over?" She asks changing the subject. "We finally don't have to hide anything in school anymore and your father will announce our engagement on your graduation night."
"Haruhi I didn't expect our relationship to last six months, let alone twenty." He tells her. "But I'm glad it did and that we seem to be completely free."
"I expected you to be tired of me after two." She laughs. "But I'm glad it's lasted this long too. I love you Kyoya." She smiles up at him and wraps her arms around his neck.
"I love you too Haruhi." He smiles leaning down to kiss her softly.
The rest of the day went smoothly, after finishing up her packing Haruhi and Kyoya headed down to the beach where the others were already playing. The twins got Haruhi to play another round of volleyball, in which she and Tamaki finally managed to win. They built multiple sand castles together and while the others were playing in the ocean again Haruhi was sitting on Kyoya's lap in a beach chair with her head against his shoulder the whole time. They decided to have a campfire on the beach and when it got to be too cold they heading inside and finished the final Harry Potter. Haruhi was completely lost and bored, but she was able to curl up next to Kyoya. When the movie had ended it was almost two in the morning and they were planning to head home at around nine. They decided it was definitely time to go to bed.
"Kyoya, may I come in?" He hears Haruhi knocking on the connecting door after everyone had retired for the night.
"I'll rephrase you from earlier. Do you really need to ask anymore?" He tells her, as she wanders into his room and sees him sitting up in his bed.
"Sorry." She smiles at him. "May I sleep in here I don't want to spend our last night separated." She admits.
"Come here then." He smirks lifting the covers, as she wanders over and settles into the bed. "It's probably best that we sleep together anyways. You're going to have one hell of a time waking me up before eight."
"Somehow I'm not really that worried." She laughs curling up next to him, as he lays the blankets back down. "I will get the feared demon lord out of bed in the morning."
"I'll hold you too that." He smirks kissing her and wrapping his arms protectively around her, before falling asleep.
Day 8
At exactly eight in the morning the rest of the host club were hovering over Kyoya's bed unsure of what to do. They looked in Haruhi's room earlier and found that she wasn't in there, so they tried Kyoya's and the two were huddled close and looked like they were in a deep sleep.
"We should get Haruhi up first. She's the only one Kyoya won't kill for getting him up this early." Tamaki was muttering to the others.
"But how do we wake her?" The twins ask. "Kyoya-sempai has her completely trapped."
"I want to know how they always end up sleeping like this." Hunny asks. "It's so cute."
"It's borderline possessive is what it is." The twins sigh looking at the pair again. Haruhi's face was just under Kyoya's neck and was sleeping on one of his arms with both of her hands curled up in small fists just under her chin. Kyoya had one hand wrapped protectively around her waist and the one Haruhi was sleeping on was place protectively on her shoulder.
"I guess this answers our question of have they spent the night together alone." Hikaru laughs without humor.
"Yeah, but it still doesn't prove they've done anything." Kaoru points out.
"The only thing you guys are proving right now is how annoying you can be in the morning." Haruhi growls turning her head slightly to face them.
"Haruhi, we didn't mean to wake you." Tamaki says almost too quickly.
"Liars" she smiles. "You went into my room to get me up in order to wake Kyoya right?"
"Um…"
"It's all right leave and give me five minutes." She yawns. "We don't want to wake him up and you five in the room. He might throw something."
"All right see you in a few minutes Haru-chan." Hunny smiles at her, before he and Mori led the others out of the room.
'Wow he must really be out of it if the noise they were making didn't wake him.' She sighs inwardly sitting up slightly. "Kyoya, Kyoya it's just after eight you have to get up." She shakes him to no avail. 'Well here goes nothing.' "Kyoya please wake up." She asks managing to snake her arms around his neck and kisses him in the most seductive way she knows how. His eyes blink open, more from surprise then anything and she pulls away. "Told you I could get you up." She smirks.
"You continue to be one hell of a temptress." He groans.
"Yet you still love me." She laughs and sits up in the bed.
"Yet I still love you." He repeats their usual phrase and gets out of the bed.
"The others are right outside and should be back in any minute." She warns.
"Of course they are." He sighs, as sure enough the door opened up again and the other five members walk into the room still completely shocked at seeing Kyoya awake and out of bed.
"I know you're his fiancée and everything Haruhi, but how in the world do you manage to wake him up within five minutes?" Tamaki asks completely surprised, as Kyoya throws a pillow at him.
"I really don't think you want to know." Haruhi laughs getting out of the bed. "I'm going to go change and I'll meet you guys downstairs."
"See you downstairs then Haruhi." Kyoya nods to her, as she disappears into her room.
"What you two wake up together, she wakes you up, and then that's it?" Hikaru asks surprised that Haruhi simply got up and left the room.
"Yeah and she acted like she was used to it, or like you two have done this before-"Kaoru cuts off, as he looks at Kyoya, who had his eyebrows raised. "Oh" he realizes.
"So what did the five of you actually want?" Kyoya asks changing the subject.
"Just that since we go right through town on our way home, we were going to ask you how you felt about stopping for breakfast in town before we actually head out." Tamaki tells him.
"I don't particularly mind, but you know Haruhi is going to want to stay here and finish the food we have in the kitchen." He points out.
"Which is why we wanted to ask you to let her know." He asks.
"Yeah can't you bribe her or something?" The twins add.
"Do you really think that's what it takes to get her to do what I want?" Kyoya asks in disbelief, as they all stare at him. "…Fine hang on." He sighs and walks over to his closet. "Haruhi" he calls.
"Yes?" They hear her voice on the other side.
"We're all going to go get something to eat in town, before we head home." He tells her.
"That's after we're all packed up and in the car right?" She asks.
"Yes, it'll be after we head out from here. We go through town anyways to go to the airport, so the others thought we could stop and eat something."
"…Okay" she tells him.
"There, was that really so hard to do?" He asks them.
"Well she listens to you." The twins argue.
"Whatever you say just let me change and I'll meet you five downstairs." He says grabbing his suitcase.
"All right meet you down there then." Hunny smiles at him and they all head out of his room.
"Kind of feels like the first time we left doesn't it?" Tamaki asks, as they were all loading their suitcases into the back of the car a while later.
"Not really this time we actually know the secret that was apparently kept from us for twenty months." The twins point out.
"Just out of general curiosity Kyoya, were you trying to ask her out when I walked in and found you two in your room alone the last time?" Tamaki asks.
"Sort of, but the circumstances weren't…ideal, before you walked in." Kyoya sighs.
Haruhi, who remembers what happened the last time held in a laugh. 'Of course the timing wasn't ideal then.' She thought, as she tosses her bag into the car.
"Well this has been an, unforgettable week let's say we head back home." Kyoya tells them getting into the car.
"Hai" They all agree following him into the car. Haruhi takes one last look at the beach house, before following them all in and the car started driving off.
The car and plane ride back were about as boring as the ride to the beach house, but Haruhi was glad she was able to Sit and talk with Kyoya like they would normally do. When the plane landed they all said their goodbyes, as the others had cars sent for them. Haruhi went with Kyoya and promised to see the rest of them the next day for the first day of the Ouran fair, before getting back into Kyoya's car and headed back home.
It was almost eleven that night when the car pulled up to Haruhi's apartment complex. "So what are you going to do about your dad?" he asks.
What do you mean?"
"Well you have a few minor injuries that you didn't leave the house with." He points out.
"Oh don't worry your lovely little mark on my neck won't bother him, after all he already knows." She shrugs. "I plan to tell him I got hit in the face with a volleyball though. It really wasn't Tamaki-sempai's fault that he hit me after all."
"All right well…good luck and I'll see you tomorrow." He tells her.
"..This is finally it isn't it?" she asks and hesitant to open her door.
"What do you mean?"
"We don't have to hide anything anymore do we? You graduate in two weeks, your father is going to announce our engagement and then you're going to leave for a year…we're finally free to do what we want." She almost laughs.
"You're only figuring this out now?" He asks.
"I guess after I hear you say 'I'll see you tomorrow' it reminded me that we're back in reality." She admits. "But it also reminded me that we don't have to worry about anything trying to come between us anymore, besides maybe the media and I know you don't ever care what they have to say."
"You're right I don't." He smiles. "And if I can help it I'm not going to let you leave my sight much tomorrow."
"I suppose that would get the news across wouldn't it?" She laughs. "All right well…this has been one hell of an unforgettable week and I'll see you tomorrow." She smiles at him, before kissing him and leaving the car.
'Love you too Haruhi.' He thinks making sure she had everything and got up to her apartment before driving off.
When he reaches his house he meets his father, who he assumes is heading to the hospital for something. "Good evening father." He bows slightly.
"Fuyumi told me about your plans. Is the task down?" He asks stopping for a moment beside his son.
"Yes sir. The whole club now knows."
"Good, so no ties are broken?"
"No sir. They didn't take the news well, but have all accepted it."
"Good. I will be announcing your engagement during your graduation party."
"Yes father. Haruhi and I will be expecting it."
"Good and Kyoya."
"Yes father?"
"Suoh invited me to the fair again, so you can expect me to be there tomorrow or Friday."
"Yes sir."
"And…well done." He finishes, before Kyoya even turns around his father's car is already leaving the driveway.
'Well that was rare.' Kyoya almost laughs. "Though I wonder what would make him want to come to the fair, unless it's to point out to the chairman that he's won their bet.' He walks into the house. 'You're right Haruhi come morning dawn and it's back to reality for us.' He sighs inwardly wondering vaguely what tomorrow would be like, before walking up to his room.
Holy crap I am so sorry I promise this wasn't on purpose. You know when you have the chapter completed in your head, but when you go on a Word document to write and it just doesn't come out the way you pictured it? Happened several times on this chapter, but I do love the way it finally turned out. I decided to do eight days instead of a standard seven, why because I wanted to. I hope you all liked it and I really hope to have the next one up by Sunday, but no promises, mostly because of how long it took me to finish this one. As always thank you for the reviews on the last chapter and for reading The Missing Piece. xD
