Yay! Finally updating! This chapter was oddly difficult to write and I feel like this is going to end up being a longer story than I originally thought :P Lol I dedicate this chapter to Vatala Darkmist who yelled at me to "update update update!" the first day I posted. Sorry for the wait, hope the chapter doesn't suck as bad as I think it does.

I don't own Ouran or any of its characters :( If I did it would still be ongoing and Haruhi would be with Kyouya… just saying.

"Kyouya I…" I'm cut off by the door slamming open.

"WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO SEE MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER!" Tamaki shouts, all of earliers weirdness gone. "MORI HAS BEEN KEEPING US ALL (meaning him and the twins) FROM COMING UP! WHY IS MOMMY MENOPOLIZING DAUGHTERS TIME!" He yells in a Tamaki like fashion then notices my leg being propped up. He stops and his eye twitches.

"Mother… hurt Haruhi?" His lip trembles and I can't help but sigh. Kyouya mutters a soft 'idiot' before standing.

"I'll leave you to explain." Kyouya walks out all emotion drained from his face. My chest hurts a little when I see his mask has returned and I can't decide what that means. Doing my best not to show my pain I look at the frantic blonde haired idiot who is ranting on about something.

"…. If he did anything to hurt you…"

"TAMAKI!" I say loudly cutting him off.

"Kyouya-senpai would never intentionally hurt me. I tripped when I got out of the car and twisted my ankle, he was simply helping me take care of it." I do my best not to let my irritation show through my voice. He was standing right there, shouldn't he know what's going on?

"Oh Haruhi, Daddy is here for you if you need anything!" He hugs me tight cutting off my air supply.

"Can't… breathe…" I manage to choke out and he lets go, his face tinted with a slight blush. A voice being cleared in the doorway pulls my eyes from a blushing Tamaki-senpai.

"Tamaki, I think it would be best if you allowed Haruhi to rest." Kyouya says simply.

"Don't you dare hurt our Daughter while I am away. I expect you to treat her like a princess." I hold back a grimace but laugh a little when Kyouya smirks, obviously amused by Tamaki's words. After a lot of reassurance the idiot king is finally appeased and leaves. Kyouya turns to me.

"Would you like me to stay with you? Or would you prefer to be alone?"

"You can stay if it isn't a bother." I say, watching in delight as his usual mask morphs into one of surprise. It is only for a second but that one fleeting moment of true emotion makes him staying worth it. The room stays silent as he walks over and takes a seat.

"Haruhi, what were you going to say before Tamaki interrupted?"

"O-oh nothing important, it wouldn't have any m-merit to you a-any ways." I silently curse my new found speech impediment. Why had I started to say that in the first place? I watch as Kyouya takes of his glasses and pinches the bridge of his nose. Without looking up Kyouya starts to speak.

"Haruhi, I want you to know you can talk to me and that not everything has to have merit." My eyebrow immediately raises at his comment.

"If you won't tell me what you were going to say then I am just going to have to say something for you…." He stops and looks at me expectantly. When I don't respond he sighs.

"Fine… Haruhi, anything you say has merit, especially when it is for my ears only. Simply being here with you has some merit to it. You see… after all of the hosts have spent so much time with you all of us have developed some form of feelings for you. Just by simply spending time with you now I am one step closure to you than the rest." He stops and lets it sink in. Does he really think they all have a crush on me? I mean seriously? Tamaki definitely but not Kaoru or Hikaru, to them I am just a toy. Honey still acts like a child and Mori would never take his attention away from Honey long enough to grow feelings for someone else. And then there was the shadow king… to him I am simply a number. If only he could be the same to me.

Instead my heart beats faster around him, and my head grows cloudy. He poisons my thoughts, and seeps into almost every dream. Stupid shadow king…

"All of the hosts Haruhi." He says as if reading my thoughts.

"You couldn't mean?"

"Yes. Even I have grown some form of feelings for you… much to my chagrin." He states, his charcoal eyes seemingly baring deep into my soul. My pulse races and my mouth goes dry. This can't be real, this can't be happening, it is a dream. Like all of the others. Except this time when I pinch myself in the arm I don't wake up and the devilishly handsome shadow king is still staring intently at me.

"I… I… uhm…." He smirks at my lack of words and stands up.

"Get some rest. Your foot should be safe to walk on by morning." He says over his shoulder leaving me to my thoughts. Eventually I fall asleep only to be awoken in the middle of the night by sharp hunger pains. I hadn't eaten all day. I slowly work my way out of bed and hobble to my door. I make it half way down the hall when a loud clap of thunder stops me cold in my tracks.

How didn't I notice it was storming? As another loud bang sounds I let out squeak and slump against the wall, falling to the floor and crying into my knees. Suddenly the wall behind me disappears and I fall back in two beams. What the hell?

"Haruhi?" A gravelly voice sounds behind me and I look up into the eyes of a glairing Kyouya. Before I can respond the hall lights up and another boom is heard causing me to bury my face into Kyouya's legs. Kyouya sighs and reaches down to pick me up. I cling to him as the storm continues hardly noticing as he sits down on his bed and holds me in his lap. He makes shushing noises and strokes my hair awkwardly as I continue to clutch his shirt.

"Haruhi, it is alright. It's just a storm, it isn't going to hurt you." He says softly as I bury my face in his chest. Eventually I fall asleep, strangely comfortable in his arms. The next morning I wake up from the sunlight streaming in from the window. Why am I staring into a shirt, and why is there and arm around me? I look up to see Kyouya's head tucked down towards mine, his one hand laying under my cheek, his other wrapped firmly around my waist.

I completely forgot there was a storm last night. I can't help but smile softly at how peaceful… no, not peaceful… more like how calm he looked. Not wishing to awake him and face the wrath of the low blood pressure demon lord I allow myself to fall back asleep, not aware that not even an hour later a certain French idiot would be barging in, questioning about his daughters whereabouts.

Mid-chapter AN: Sorry for OOC-ness :L O_o I totally apologize but I am currently distracted by an update of Maid Sama on Manga Reader… tear… there was so not enough of an update to appease my need :( Back to the story :P

"KYOUYA! I CAN'T FIND HARUHI ANY WHERE AND…" Tamaki cuts off when he sees not one but two someone's in Kyouya's bed.

"Erhm…" I mumble unintelligibly, not wanting to be woken up from such a comfortable position. I hear the door close and I bolt upright. Did someone see us? Suddenly strong arms pull me back down and I hear Kyouya mumble something. Carefully I manage to get his hand off from around me and slowly get out of bed and hobble to my room without waking up Kyouya.

The sky is visibly brighter and I am glad for this, I personally hope there are no more storms for the rest of the stay here. Knowing I will have to face whoever saw us eventually I get ready and head downstairs where most of the host club (save for Honey and Kyouya) are already noisily eating and fighting. I stop in the door way amused by the conversation.

"And I say we look for her down at the beach!" Tamaki says loudly to Hikaru.

"And I say she is most definitely in the house!" Hikaru shouts standing up. I decide now would be the best time to speak up. I clear my throat audibly and watch in amusement as their heads whip over, except for Mori's who noticed me the second I walked in.

"Your alright!" The twins run over and snuggle their cheeks against mine.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Tamaki-senpai said you weren't in your room so we all searched for you." Kaoru starts.

"Eventually we decided it would be better to stop, eat breakfast, and then resume searching." Hikaru finishes.

"Well if you must know I was under the bed. There was a storm last night and that is where I woke up." The lie comes out easy. I watch as Tamaki raises an eyebrow. Shit. So it was him, why isn't he freaking out? And why didn't he tell the twins?

"Oh Haruhi! Why didn't you go find one of us?" Tamaki jumps in. I stare at him and point to my foot.

"You forget for the time being she is crippled." A cool voice speaks up from the door way. His hair is disheveled and his cloths wrinkled. He must have just woken up. His face still has the signature smirk plastered on except for the moment his glasses are nowhere to be seen. I notice he is holding on the railing with a firm grip and is squinting slightly at us.

"Now, has anyone seen my glasses?" The group gasps in shock. The orderly shadow king doesn't know where his glasses are? Eventually I speak up.

"Did you fall asleep with them on? Because if you did they might be on your bed somewhere or on the floor."

"Thank you Haruhi for that bit of useful information but I cannot see well enough to find them." Kyouya's voice is laced with stinging sarcasm and everyone in the room but me slinks away attempting to get away from his dark aura. I sigh, guess that means I will be the one going up.

"I'll come help you senpai." I start up the steps behind him pausing to look back to see the host club spontaneously all dressed in black, the twins crying into white handkerchiefs.

"Such a brave soul!" Kaoru wails. You think I would be used to their antics by now. When I step into the room I see Kyouya sitting on his bed, his glasses on his face.

"Senpai…"

"You can call me by my name Haruhi."

"K-Kyouya? You didn't actually lose your glasses did you?" I says staring down at my hands.

"No Haruhi. I din't lose my glasses." He grabs my chin and pulls it up till I am looking into his eyes. His hand drops and he takes a deep breath.

"Haruhi, we need to talk."

Whew! Finally finished that chapter, don't know if I like it but I kept hitting this major road block called lack of inspiration or Writers Block, whichever you prefer. I feel a little weird making Kyouya the first one to sort of admit his feelings. Then I got to the end of this chapter and went CRAP! I forgot to switch to his perspective. Therefore next chapter I will try and make it mainly Kyouya considering Haruhi got a whole chapter to herself. REVIEW! Reviews make me want to update, and intimidate me…. Which isn't a bad thing :P Tell me if this chapter was a disappointment… because I feel like as far as writing goes this wasn't the best… Any who, see ya next chapter :)
