Not Coming Back...

A/N: Sorry for the long delay. I didn't forget about the story. Just been super busy with new games (I 3 Dissidia and Fallout 3) and school started for my boys. You would think I'd enjoy the peace and quiet of no kids here but I kinda miss my babies. As always, I don't own Ouran High School Host Club. Another A/N: This really has taken me forever to write. I have to add Persona and Game Podunk to my reasons for taking too long to write this. -.- That and I had a little bit of writer's block for this. o.o I just noticed it bunched the words all together. Sorry guys! I'm fixing it now though!!

"Haruhi-chan, do you think Rizu-chan misses us?" Honey asked the brown haired girl the day before Rizu was expected back. Haruhi wasn't surprised by his question as she had been thinking the same thing. It had been almost a week since Rizu's grandmother passed away and she left for the funeral. Sure, she's texted us all twice. But it's always the same. "I'm doing ok. See you soon." Haruhi thought.

"I'm sure she does, Honey-sempai." Haruhi smiled as she poured some tea for the guests at the table. Honey nodded as he grabbed a chocolate chip cookie. Haruhi thought back to three days ago. It was like any other day; the Hosts had been busy with their guests except for Kyoya, who was crunching numbers in his book. Haruhi was finally able to get away from the girls at her table and was glad to be able to duck into the shadows so she could be by herself.

"You'll never get your debt paid off if you keep running off, Haruhi." Kyoya stated as he walked next to her. She silently cursed at him for ruining the peaceful moment she had.

"Senpai..." Haruhi started, not sure if she wanted to fib and say she was just on her way to serve the girls tea or to fess up. She went with the latter one. Kyoya nodded as he then asked her to walk outside with him. Tamaki noticed and started to protest but once Kyoya gave him a cold glare, he went back to showing off his new talent: balancing three tea cups on his head. Once in the hallway, Kyoya took his glasses off and rubbed the bridge of his nose. Haruhi was nervous.

"Haruhi, can I talk to you about a personal matter?" Kyoya asked. He knew that out of the other club members she could be trusted. She nodded quickly. She must think she's in trouble, his mind mused. "Don't worry. I'm not adding anything to your ever increasing debt or am I expecting you to leave the club."

"That's good. I mean... I didn't think you were going to do either." Haruhi replied, a sigh of relief escaping her mouth. "I just never saw you so.."

"So what, Haruhi?" Kyoya chuckled. Haruhi floundered as she couldn't come up with a good answer. "I... have a slight problem with Rizu."

"Problem?" Haruhi asked. What could he have against her? She's never been anything shy of polite to him, she wondered. A frown appeared on her face as she tried thinking of how anyone could have a problem with Rizu. Even Hikaru didn't mind the fact that Kaoru liked her or even kissed her.

"I don't understand the feelings I've had lately." Kyoya told her as he put his glasses back on. "When I saw Kaoru kiss her, I wanted to... to punch him. It took quite a bit of effort to not do so. And when she got the news of her grandmother's death, I wanted nothing more than to comfort her. Of course, I realize that none of those feelings would have any merit in my goals."

"Kyoya-senpai..." Haruhi replied as he paused. "Wow. You don't think that you might like Rizu, do you?"

"Like her? As a friend, yes. There is no question about that." Kyoya stated, a bit annoyed. "I know that these feelings are common among friends. But what about the urge I had to kiss her as I contemplated hitting Kaoru for the same action. Or how she invades my mind whenever I smell cherry blossoms. Which reminds me: Don't let Tamaki hold another cherry blossom festival again."

"Seems to me that you like her as more than a friend, senpai." Haruhi remarked. A pang of jealous ran through her body as she wished Tamaki felt like this towards her. When she thought it over, she wasn't too surprised by Kyoya's words. Kyoya looked at her with a somewhat scowling look.

"It would do no good, Haruhi. She's betrothed to someone and, even though she is Tamaki's cousin, her social rank isn't beneficial for my goals in life." Kyoya replied, silently cursing himself for allowing Haruhi to think he could be in love with Rizu. These feelings will pass in time, his mind tried comforting him. It's one of those crush deals like the girls get for Tamaki or the other Host Club members. Renge was the worst about it... Kyoya shuddered at remembering when Renge first arrived.

"Tamaki told me that your brother is supposed to marry her." Haruhi said, She started to say something else when the door to the music club room flew open. The Host Club members, with Tamaki in front, rushed out.

"Haruhi! Kyoya! Something's wrong!" Tamaki shouted. Hikaru told Tamaki to quiet down as Kaoru shut his cell phone off and look at everyone. Haruhi noticed Mori was trying to comfort Honey and she was afraid to hear what happened. Kyoya's stomach started to twist and turn as his mind raced over what could be going on. His one thought was, Let Rizu be ok...

"Well, they don't know where Rizu went. Her dad found a note this morning on her bed." Kaoru explained. "None of her friends have seen her nor are there any reports of her taking a cab or plane." The gang's mood was souring as they couldn't understand why she left. Kyoya turned around fast and walked off. No one tried stopping him. Out of the blue, Honey bounced off Mori's shoulders and had a smile on his face.

"She's got to be on her way here! Where else would she go?" Honey asked. Mori smiled slightly as this brought everyone's moods up some. Tamaki proclaimed that they would turn the small sideroom into her bedroom and she could stay here. Hikaru and Kaoru offered to explain to the guests why they needed to leave. Haruhi frowned as she knew the chances of Rizu coming back here weren't good. This would be the first place her family would look. Standing in the hallway and pondering where she would go if she was Rizu, she didn't see Kyoya walk back up.

"Las Vegas." He answered her unspoken thought. Haruhi, startled, turned to look at him. He flashed what appeared to be an activity log with Rizu's name. Haruhi smiled.

"This is unhealthy for you, senpai. Tracking her every movement is considered stalking." Haruhi laughed as Kyoya frowned at her remark. Tamaki walked up to them and asked what was funny. Haruhi told him that Kyoya knew where she was and that she thought they should go see her.
