Despite their differences, Yasuchika wanted to give Haruhi some credit with Kyoya, and since a sign of the fact that you really enjoyed your visit was usually renting out the room the entire night, he did just that.

Haruhi gave an appreciative smirk as the sandy blonde teen climbed into the king-sized bed with her, "Thanks, Master Haninozuka." He looked at her out of interested cinnamon brown eyes and chuckled, taking his glasses off and setting them on the night stand, "Call me Yasuchika."

Haruhi smirked more at that, "Yasuchika." He clicked his tongue before rolling over on his side, "Good night, Haruhi." She laid flat on her back to avoid too much pain from the night before, and murmured, "Good night," before falling into -for once in 6 months- a restful sleep.

Tamaki had planned ahead, and so the room he shared with Kaoru was already rented out for the night; sending good signals to Kyoya.

Kaoru had never felt so safe and comfortable; not even before he was thrown in this hellhole.

The strawberry blonde awoke in the middle of the night, and glanced at the alarm clock: 2:10 a.m.

He turned his head and a slow smile took over his face as he glanced at the beautiful face of Tamaki: his pale, soft plush lips parted slightly; his dark eyelashes caressing his cheeks as he breathed slowly. Kaoru didn't think he'd ever see anything or anyone as beautiful again in his life.

He slowly slipped out of the blonde lord's grip, and quietly walked to the bathroom; albeit slowly.

After relieving himself, he glanced at the platnium tub longingly; he figured that it would help his lower body feel better if he were to soak in there for a while. So he filled the tub with warm water and turned on the jets; smiling as he added a bubble-bath called Enchanted Forest before slowly slipping in.

"Oh fuck," he murmured softly, enjoying the warm water and jets, "It's so nice… so nice…" he closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side; letting it rest on his shoulders as he thought about what Tamaki had said. He wasn't sure if there was a way to convince Kyoya to sell him and Haruhi to Tamaki…

He tensed as he thought about Haruhi; he had heard that Yasuchika was cold and rough as well… despite being a little kid. He opened his eyes thinking about it, "Haruhi… I hope you're alright…" it was at that moment that he heard a knock on the room's door.

Kaoru sighed in annoyance before carefully climbing out of the tub and grabbing a bath towel before walking into the room and answering the door.

His golden eyes blinked in surprise at the visitor before him. "Uh… Umehito? What are you doing here?"

Umehito gave a rarely seen excited grin, "It's Haruhi-chan. Master Yasuchika requested to keep her over night! That means she made a good impression. Kyoya is beyond happy with the results. Yours too, of course, Kaoru-chan."

Kaoru smiled, his eyes shining, "That's great news! Is… is she okay?" Umehito tilted his head and nodded; a troubled look on his face, "Yes… when I was called to their room, she looked and sounded perfectly fine to me. I'm not even sure they did anything… it's hard to believe though; knowing Master Yasuchika."

Kaoru glanced over his shoulder at the still sleeping Tamaki, "Yeah. But it's good." He turned his attention back to the cloaked man before him, "I'll tell you what; Master Tamaki was excellent." He licked his lips for emphasis.

Umehito gave a dark, excited laugh, "Oh, I've heard stories, Kaoru-chan. He's somewhat of a celebrity in the Sex Slave Trade. All slaves want him as a master because he's so kind and caring; although it makes you wonder why he has them in the first place."

Kaoru had to agree with that, but hey; there had to be some nice masters…

"Well, I just wanted to let you know about Haruhi-chan. I'll uh… let you get back to your late night bath." He chuckled as he turned on his heel walking the opposite direction, "Good night." Kaoru couldn't help but roll his eyes with a small grin on his face, "Good night, Umehito." He then shut the door heading back to the bathroom, "Things are looking up…"

Kaoru awoke later that morning to find the warmth of Tamaki missing from his body. He frowned before opening his eyes; just to see the blonde angel in boxers and an opened button-down shirt pouring two cups of coffee.

The strawberry blonde stretched carefully and smiled tiredly, "Morning, Master Tamaki." Tamaki turned to him, surprised he was awake, "Oh, good morning Kaoru." His face then adorned the smile Kaoru loved so much, "I didn't expect you to be awake yet."

Kaoru sat up slowly as Tamaki brought him a cup of coffee, "Eh. It's only like…" he glanced at the clock, "9:20."

Tamaki chuckled, amused, and sat down on the bed beside Kaoru with his own cup of coffee, "So, how are you feeling this morning, Kaoru? You're not in too much pain, are you?" The look of concern on Tamaki's face melted him.

"Um, no, I'm okay. I mean, I took a bath late after you feel asleep to help the slight pain I was in, but it's not bad." Kaoru smiled, "Thank you for asking, Master Tamaki."

Tamaki chuckled, "Hm; I hope you know that you can drop the 'Master' now." Kaoru blushed lightly, "I- thank you, Mas- I mean… T-Tamaki." He murmured softly. Just saying the man's name without the honorific made him feel so much emotion.

Something struck Kaoru, and he looked up at the blonde lord, "By the way, Tamaki; how do you plan on getting Haruhi and I away from Kyoya?" Tamaki said, "Hm…" and looked thoughtful as he tapped his coffee mug with a finger, "I'm not sure yet exactly. Like I mentioned, I plan on using just money, but I have friends in high places that could help me if need be. The point being, it shouldn't be too hard, Kaoru. I will have you."

Kaoru blushed again; he felt like a silly school girl with a crush. "Oh, I see. Well, when you do manage to get Haruhi and I from Kyoya, do you want us to refer to you as 'Master' again?"

Tamaki blinked in slight confusion, but then it cleared up as it hit him, "Oh…" He looked down, then walked over to the coffee table to put his cup of coffee down before coming back to the bed, "Kaoru…" he whispered, sitting right in front of the blushing boy, "I don't want you as my slave. Nor Haruhi."

Kaoru blinked, utterly confused, "But I… but then… huh?" Tamaki gave a chuckle at Kaoru's adorable flustered look, "I want to free you and her so that you…" he said, tilting Kaoru's chin with his right hand so his amber eyes met Tamaki's violet, "Can be with me. As my lover." Kaoru's eyes widened before Tamaki pulled him into a passionate kiss.
