Hiya everyone!

Not in a good mood cos I am ILL! :(

I had to come home early from school because I was feeling sick, and my head was spinning. :(

However, I got to sleep for 2 hours... nothing like an afternoon nap.

But now I have five bite marks on my back, which I shouldn't have... we have no pets, and it's not that close to summer to get nasty bity buggys, so I'm miffed. they're on my back too...

And thanks for the Eclair doll :)

Unfortunately, it was fire proof, so I had to stick pins in it, then I slowly disected it and stuck the various parts of it around my room, under each the caption;

'beware all bitches who enter'.

Thet'll keep them away :)

For now, enjoy and read and only 4 to go!


The doors opened.

"Tama-Chan~" cried out Honey looking happy to see him.

And surprisingly, I was happy too, until I saw the Tonnerre bitch next to him.

"Everyone, I have an important announcement." said the tall blond, his voice sounding strangely deadpanned.

We all made a simultaneous 'hm?' sound, and Tamaki continued.

"As of today, lady Éclair Tonnerre and I are officially engaged." I saw that witches eyes narrow almost maliciously, and a triumphant smirk crossed her lips. "Furthermore, the host club will be permanently dissolved, after the Ouran fair. That is all."

He then turned and walked away, leaving us all slack jawed, and Haruhi close to tears. Lisa had stood off to the side, but even she displayed a look of mild shock.

"He... he can't do that." choked Haruhi, eyes brimming.

"He can. He is the king. The president. What he says... goes."

I looked to Kyouya, then back to Haruhi, who was biting down hard on her trembling lip, and was trying desperately to hold back the tears, but they were now flowing down her cheeks.

"You know what. Fine." I snapped, standing rigid and glaring at the empty doorway.

"What?" asked the twins, looking at me like I've gone insane.

"Screw him. If he wants to go off, fine. So much for having us."

I actually felt hurt, like I'd just been cast aside.

I never actually realized how much I actually liked Tamaki.

"Lisa, Haruhi, come on, let's go get changed, my granddad is coming soon."

It was an outright lie, and everyone knew it, but I didn't care, I just had to get Haruhi out of this room.

I took her by the elbow and steered her down the corridors to music room three. I got her inside, along with Lisa who was following right on my heels, and she shut the door behind us.

I pulled the sniffling brunette into the changing room, and sat her on a large chair, and left Lisa with her for a minute, then went to get a glass of water for Haruhi to drink.

Upon entering the main club room, I saw Tamaki picking up his jacket, and when he heard my footsteps, he turned to look at me. Éclair was nowhere in sight.

"Saori? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"I'm just getting my jacket... is everything alright?"

I scoffed, threw my head back and gave a short, sarcastic laugh before snapping my head forwards again to glare at him.

"Is everything alright? What do you think? We've just been cast aside like last years toys, and you think everything is going to be peachy keen? Screw what Kyouya said... you are an idiot."

"W-what did Kyouya say?"

"He said that you had us, despite your past being shit. You would always have us... but you don't need us anymore 'cos you have that insane crazy bitch."

He furrowed his brow and looked miffed. But not totally as if he disagreed.

"I'd appreciate it if you did not call my fiancé a crazy bitch."

"I'd appreciate it if you got out. The host club is over. You are no longer part of it. Well done."

And with that, I shoved past him, got the water and went back to Haruhi, who for the next twenty minutes sobbed into my shoulder.

I stomped in, kicked my shoes off, and stormed upstairs, not even bothering if Lisa was behind me... but she was probably still downstairs avoiding my wrath.

I was so unbelievably pissed off. How could Tamaki do this?

That Tonnerre women had something over him, that was the only way he'd stop the host club, the only way he'd hurt us.

The only reason he'd hurt Haruhi.

I shook my head, stripped off and walked into my bathroom in my boxers and bra, then started the shower up. Once I'd gotten completely naked, I stepped in and let the steaming water wash over me, relaxing my joints.

I didn't waste time though, so I grabbed the washcloth, grabbed the bottle of strawberry body wash, and set about scrubbing myself until I was red raw.

Then I let myself rinse off as I went abut finding my shampoo and conditioner. I could only find the raspberry one though, so I shrugged and went about it.

Soon I was completely squeaky clean, albeit a little sore from where I'd scrubbed so hard... So I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around me, and stepped out.

I'd just finished brushing my teeth when Comatose started up on my phone. It was everyones ringtone except Lisa and Takashi.

I was still dripping wet, but I ran into my bedroom, located the noise as quickly as I could, then picked it up.

I never looked at the caller ID...

"Hello? Saori?"

"Yes... who is this?"

"Don't you ever look at the caller ID?"

"No."

"It's Hikaru... is Haruhi okay?"

"How should I know? She doesn't live here."

"No... but you took her home, and now she won't answer her cell."

"Well, go round there."

"I can't! I would but my mother said I had to stay in because we have guests. The others don't live near her like you do, so please could you go and check?"

"I just got out the shower..."

"Well... get dressed and go round."

"I hate you."

"Is that a yes? Will you?"

"Yeah. But I hate you."

"Love you too."

"Seeya."

"Bye."

I snapped my phone shut after that extremely short conversation, quickly towel dried myself, dragged some clothes on and went downstairs without even combing my hair.

"Lisa, I'm going out for a bit. You stay here."

"Um, okay?"

With that, I went out to go to Haruhi's.

"Haruhi, open up!" I shouted, pounding on the door to her and her dads apartment.

"Just go away!" she shouted back.

"For Gods sake! Stop feeling sorry for yourself! You're worrying people, Hikaru called me and asked me to come here, and would you believe that on the way, even Kyouya called and said I had to check up on you."

"I don't care!" she said, but her voice cracked.

"Well, if you don't open up, I'll get Takashi round here to bust the God damn door open, unless I do it first."

"You wouldn't." she snapped, as if challenging me.

"Watch me." I snapped back, leaning back on the rail, bringing both my feet up and using my arms and all my weight behind my legs to crash against the door, making even the window rattle. I looked and saw the slight indentation where my foot went, and smirked as I heard the chain on the other side of the door be brought back.

"Saori, you're paying for any damages."

"Fine." I said, walking past her into the small flat.

"Why do you guys care?"

"Because you're a friend, and you like him, and this is hurting you more than it's hurting us."

"But..."

"But nothing." I snapped, whirling around to look at her, my wet hair slapping my face and sticking there. "Haruhi, we all care about you, you're our friend. You're like a sister to me... Do you expect me to leave you to mope?"

"It'd be easier."

"Shut up and come here." I said, holding my arms out, and I didn't have to wait before she was hugging me, sniffling into my shoulder.

I stroked her hair, and let her cry into my shoulder for a good half hour, then listened to her hiccup out all her anger as she shouted and said that Tamaki is a jerk for doing this to us all, how could he be so stupid?

"Does he not know that I like him?" she whispered, her big brown eyes screwed up, almost as if she were in pain.

"Haruhi... it's not him, it's Éclair and his grandmother."

"I know... but... I thought he liked me back."

"He probably does hun, but would you stand up to a woman like his grandma?"

"I'd try..."

"Even though she would have total control over the financial help your family would get? At the possible cost of your parents life?"

"... No. I'd do as I was told... I'd be scared not to." She sighed, after a moment to think.

"There you go then."

For a while, we talked, and eventually she smiled and said she was fine, and I could go home.

Which I did. And I collapsed on my bed and fell asleep.

All this stress lately, and I haven't eaten properly in two days.
