Chapter 14

Amelia scrutinized Kyouya from across the fancy table of an even fancier restaurant. She'd been watching his every action since she'd picked him up from the school. Every twitch, every drop of sweat. That hollow look in his eyes, she'd seen it before, but now it looked so much deeper. Was it all because of that small girl he'd been with before? She'd been wearing a boy's uniform but Amelia knew, knew it had been….Haruhi? Was that the name? She believed so.

He hadn't spoken a single word to her in the past hour, he'd gotten into the limo, changed at home and then they'd come to this restaurant. Dead silence the whole way. He had a million things on his mind and they had nothing to do with Amelia.

"Kyouya, Darling you haven't touched your food." Amelia gently laid her hand across the Kyouya's but he coolly slipped it away and placed both hands in his lap.

"My appetitive has failed me today." He looked away out into the darkening day. She wanted the hollowness of his eyes and closed her eyes for a second remembering a girl long ago who'd been in the same seat as him.

"Is it because of her?" Amelia opened her emerald eyes and burned them into Kyouya's face. His face turned to hers passively but she caught the twitch of anger in his jaw.

"I can tell you have deep feelings for the girl, darling." She picked up her fork and jabbed viscously at her salad. A wicked smile turned her into the devil as she slowly ate her food.

"You know nothing of me, Amelia." Ah, she thought, his voice. It's come alive!

"That certainly isn't my fault; I never knew the Ootori men would be so cold." She pouted letting her eyes calculate his next sentence.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have allied yourself with them." Kyouya snapped harshly. He bit down on his tongue and tried to regain his composure. This woman was beautiful, she was tolerable, she just wasn't Haruhi and it was beginning to drive Kyouya insane. Was he really willing to let Haruhi go and this woman take her place? Could his heart take that?

"What you clearly don't understand, sweet heart is that I alone am in control of who I will and will not marry. If I find you an unfit husband the deal will be canceled and I will move on from your life." She watched his surprise with a smirk.

"I wonder is it how I am to have more freedom then you in such a situation. Aren't you a man?" She slid her leg half way up his leg before he kicked it away roughly. She laughed loudly and settled her arms across the table an evil glimmer in her eyes.

"So tell me Mr. Ootori, do you love that woman?"

Tamaki stood mournfully in the door way as Haruhi continued to pack up her belongings.

"When are you leaving?" He whispered, but it seemed an accusing shout.

"My father will be back tonight with the ticket and then he'll drive me to the airport." She turned to look at the teen and wondered absently what would have become of herself and Tamaki if Kyouya hadn't been there first. She was very fond of Tamaki, he was like her best friend and she was heartbroken to see that look in his eyes. But her heart was tainted by Kyouya and she had to get away before it was even more broken by his actions.

"Can I stay with you until then? I'd like to see you off." Tamaki walked closer to her and helped her close the small suitcase. He seemed to rest all his weight on the top like a burden was weighing him down.

"I'd like that very much Senpai." Haruhi whispered knowing the immense pain she was causing.

"Does anyone else know you are leaving?" Tamaki asked knowingly. Haruhi looked into his sapphire eyes, watched them sparkle and sighed. Her thoughts crossed over Kyouya's face and she felt a stab.

"I haven't told anyone. It would be easier to slip away into the night without a trace wouldn't it?" Tamaki put his hand on top of her head and let his fingers slip through the silkiness of it all.

"He won't take it well, no matter what is going in his life. I know Kyouya," He felt her flinch, "if you are the one he wants, he will have you." Haruhi looked up tears now visible in her eyes.

"Then the bastard will have to chase me." The chocolate irises were melting but so stern. Tamaki smiled slightly. Perhaps there was hope after all.
