Me: See I told you I was working on it!

Watchful Kind

They day was over, hosting was done and Haruhi couldn't have been more relieved. It's not that she didn't like hosting. She had grown to love it. It was just she was having a sick feeling. She's had it since lunch, but she just shook it off. She decided it wasn't anything to worry over. Hunny and Mori had already left, Tamaki had to go work on a failed test, Kyoya was no where in sight, and the twins were bugging her about riding with them.

"No guys. I'm sorry but I'm not taking you to the store to cause trouble. I don't feel like babysitting today." She said. She grabbed her bag and started towards the door.

"But Haruhi." Hikaru whined.

"We want to go." Kaoru joined.

"To bad." Haruhi answered and that was it. After she walked off campus, she started to rummage through her bag for her wallet. She wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone. She looked up at the person to apologize, but stopped as she saw the man's lustful smirk. He was missing one of his front teeth. His brown hair was matted and tangled and his matching eyes started to undress her.

"My you're to pretty to be a boy." He said. His breath made her nose want to turn inside out. Haruhi started to run the opposite direction. He was fast, though, and caught her arm. Haruhi struggled to set herself free. The man planted a forceful kiss on her cheek and then on her mouth. Haruhi tried to scream, but it was in vain. the man suddenly stopped and looked behind him. He had felt a hand on his shoulder. He had only caught glimpse of the gleam on the person's glasses before he was knocked out. Haruhi looked up and saw Kyoya, who stared down at the fallen man. He looked over to Haruhi and grabbed her hand and started to walk her away.

"Kyoya-senpai."

"Hush. I'm taking you home." He said. He had led her to his limo and opened the door. She crawled inside. Once they both got in, Kyoya gave the driver the directions.

"But I need to go to the store." Haruhi said. Kyoya gave her a sideways glance and shook his head.

"No. I'm taking you home." He said. Haruhi glared at him.

"Look I appreciate you saving me back there, but I need to get groceries." She said her voice louder than it was before. Kyoya ignored her. "Senpai!" She yelled.

"You know what you need?" He questioned her. "You need more common sense! What if I wasn't driving around? Huh? Answer that please. What would have happened if I didn't drive by when I did? Would you still be wanting to go shopping or would you have wished to have had help?" He asked. His eyes were slicing through her soul as he spoke. Haruhi became silent. Her mind was racing.

"What were you doing anyways? Isn't your home in the opposite direction?" She asked.

"I always come this way." He answered.

"Why?" She asked. She tilted her head to the side.

"I watch you walk home." He said, now turning away. "To make sure you're safe. I wouldn't want to loose profit in he Host club because you were careless." He said. Haruhi rolled her eyes, but she had a small smile on her face. Her smile disappeared, however, when she notice the dark marking on his cheek.

"Senpai! Your cheek! What happened?" Haruhi exclaimed forgetting the conversation they were having. She was about to touch it to see if it was just dirt, but Kyoya stopped her.

"I was in a rather heated conversation. That's all." He tried to convince her.

"Your dad has no right hitting you." She said.

"I never said it was my father." Kyoya said.

"You're not objecting either." She shot back.

"It none of your concern anyway, so let's drop it." He said.

"Senpai?" Haruhi spoke after a moment of silence. Kyoya looked at her in question.

"Thank you for caring and being there." She said.

"Master Kyoya, We're here." The driver announced. Haruhi opened the door and let herself out. She walked upstairs to her apartment and waved good-bye when she got her door open. Kyoya watched as she closed the door behind her.

"Toshibara?' Kyoya called his driver. He held a little sheet in his hand that was entitled Grocery List.

"Sir?"

"Make sure you take a maid to the store and receive these items." He said as they drove off.

Me: Again short, but next chapter will be up soon and I'll make sure it's longer. Mori's next btw.
