Chapter 15
Kyouya stared at the empty seat across for him for what seemed like hours. He could vaguely feel the pressure of her lips on his cheek as she walked away a grin lining her lovely face. He'd answered, she'd replied and then she'd left. It was as simple as that. That victorious look on her face, those sparkles in her eyes he couldn't get the image out of his mind.
"So tell me Mr. Ootori, do you love that woman?" Amelia had waited patiently for his answer, his answer would determine her next move in life, as well as his. He'd stared hard at her, surprised at first then angry.
"I love Haruhi, I will never love you as I do her." His voice was hard, stern, almost like a threat. With a bell chime laugh she'd thrown her head back and smiled into the dazzling bright lights of the restaurant.
"Ah, finally. I've been waiting for you to say that." She stood with a smile and leaned across the table. Her red lipstick didn't leave a mark as she pressed her lips to his face. "I'm glad to see you really are a man." A man in love, she thought happily.
"Kyouya Ootori, I will never marry a man who would cause such a scandalous affair and ruin my good name." She said very formally but she never lost the smile on her lips. Kyouya was dumbstruck by her behavior.
"Do not worry; I already made it clear I would never agree to this marriage. I knew you were in love, and sadly I was once as stupid as you are right now. I lost my love, but you still have a chance. If you love her and want her, go." Amelia turned with a smile and marched from the restaurant, simply glowing.
Kyouya stood and quickly left the restaurant. Haruhi…Haruhi! His mind screamed again and again as he took off for a dead run down the side walk towards her apartments.
"I love you!" He whispered under his breath as the night flew past him.

Tamaki held Haruhi's hand as if she was a small child. They had sat in the living room for what seemed like a life time, talking, remembering, and making promises.
"You will come to visit wont you?" Tamaki had pouted. Haruhi smiled and nodded.
"Of course Senpai, as long as you come to me as well. You do have the more ready ability to do so." She teased.
"It will be an honor. I'll bring the other members." A sparkle of evil appeared and Haruhi cringed at the idea of surprise visits from the entire club. A pang of regret filled her. She'd miss them all so much.
"Who's that?" Tamaki looked over his shoulder when the door was pounded upon.
"I don't know." Haruhi felt her heart clench. There's no way, She thought absently.
"I'll get it." Tamaki offered sensing her discomfort.
"No, it's my house, I'll get it." Getting from the couch she quickly got to the door. When she opened Tamaki heard her breath takes a sharp intake and her eyes went ten times larger.

Kyouya was nearly out of breath when he finally reached Haruhi's apartment. The entire complex was dark and quiet. The night had quickly enveloped the world, he wondered if she was still up. What was his plan exactly? He'd always had a plan, to make each situation as profitable as possible. But there was only thing he could gain from this.
"To win her back." He answered for himself. Quickly taking the steps up to the apartment Kyouay took a deep breath and pounded on the front door. He waited a few very anxious minutes for the door to open. When it did Kyouya felt his stomach drop.
"What are you doing here?" Haruhi's father's voice asked from the depths of the door way. Kyouya took deep breaths and looked past the man.
"Where is Haruhi?" He asked. Haruhi's father felt the urgency in the boy's voice and gave him a sad smile.
"I'm sorry, you've missed her." Cold fear swept through Kyouya in a heartbeat.
"What do you mean?" He pushed his glasses up his nose and tried to steady his breath as her father explained the situation.
"America?" His voice was barely a whisper. Haruhi's father nodded.
"She saw how exhausted I was so I left her at the airport. She's probably boarding her plane right now."
"Hey where are you going!" Kyouya was now running down the steps his cell phone pressed to his ear as his feet carried him away from the apartment and down the road. The airport his final destination.
