Shadows in the night

Kyoya didn't want any help from the other students because he wanted to prove himself worthy of Haruhi, but then he remembered "It cannot be in your handwriting." So he made his sister write it and she did so, but not before reading it. All Kyoya saw was a big smile on his sister's face. She had a pen in her hand corrected some of his grammer so she could re-write it, but Kyoya never saw the end of the cheery smile on her face.

"What's the big deal?"

"You wrote a poem for that Haruhi girl that you have been keeping such close tabs on...why?"

"She needs a valentine and set all of the host club members in a competition for it, and this could be my chance..."

"chance for what..."

"A chance to beat Tamaki and a chance at being with Haruhi if only a day."

"OMG! The famaous shadow king has feelings! OMG!"

"Shut up sis'."

He threw a pillow at her after saying that but she dodged it and giggled, she has always wanted him to find love but didn't expect it would be in the woman's hands not his own. This was amusing. After she had stopped laughing she had decided to read the poem aloud to see how it sounded to Kyoya.

Shadows In the Night

My shadow follows me into the sunlight and moves when i move, it dances when i dance, and it walks where I walk.

In the glorious day I see its never ending faithfulness to me but when sunset comes, the ever faithful friend bids farewell.

My heart aches and is not fond of the sun setting on my glorious day but at least my friend will always hear me talk.

I look up to the stars in the night thinking that they must be happy forever resting next to one another under the night's spell.

The moon however is as sad as i am, with no one to call it's shadow during the night, it is shining above the rest with a pure white glow.

soon the golden light of the lamps are welcoming me once again one by one, and my beautiful shadow comes back, but i am not satisfied.

I look at my shadow and I look at the moon and ask it a question aloud doubting it can hear me when i am here down below.

"Dear pure moon, if i promise to be your shadow forever will you be my forever shadow and valentine.

"Did I really write that?"

"Yeah it's kinda weird that you would write something so beautiful for some girl that you barely know."

"I know her very well thank you very much, i know her birthday, i know her full name, i know her father, i know her father's friends, i know who she used to be friends with and talk to in middle school, i know that she is regrettably flat chested, i know that she is an honor student of the highest standards, i know that she doesn't like being bothered by Tamaki but he does it anyways, i know that the twins are pretty much her best friends, i know that her eyes change from chocolate brown to an almost black color when she is angry, i know that she owes the club 8,000,000,000 yen for breaking a vase, i know that she can be oblivious, i know that she is afraid of thunder storms, i know that she is very intelligent, i know that her mother died while she was at a very young age, i know that she loves 'fancy tuna', i know that she can eat alot, i know that she is a good worker for the club, i know that she wants to become a lawyer, and i know lots of other information about her."

"Kyoya please listen to the last part of your rant..."I know lots of other information about her." Now granted that may be true but what do you know about her."

Kyoya was now furious with his sister for making him feel like a fool for even giving her all of that information he has worked hard to get. He didn't know what to think of the words he just heard come from his sister's mouth and he didn't know what she was aiming for. Was she trying to piss him off? Was she trying to get him to stop this challenge? Was she trying to just pull his leg at something he was apparently Oblivious to? He had to know.

"Dammit what are you getting at, i just told you what i know about her."

"I only really heard 3 things about her. She is scared of thunder storms, she likes 'fancy tuna' and that she aims to be a lawyer."

"Then you weren't listening."

"Oh i listened to you just fine i heard every word in fact. However, i have failed to hear what you know about the girl you are seemingly hoping to get."

"Tell me what you mean."

"What are her likes, Dislikes, Fears, Wants, Needs, Desires, Abilities, Thoughts, and most importantly what is she like as a person, not as merchandise."

This hit him like a stack of bricks falling on his head. He really didn't know Haruhi as a person. He had gained all sorts of information about her but never really got to know her as a person. This thought was just another brick on the pile as he also remembered that Tamaki and the twins would be in this little contest as well and they actually knew her as a person. He swore he would never give up on her...that he would never give up on having a shadow and being a shadow in return forever.
