Kaoru's face was as red as a beet when Tamaki slowly pulled away. "I… I…" Kaoru stuttered; not completely believing the words he just heard.

Tamaki chuckled good-naturedly, and sat back; ruffling his blonde hair sheepishly, "Too fast?" Kaoru bit his bottom lip hard, "N-no, Tamaki. Not at all… I'm just… surprised at this."

Tamaki blinked, then tilted his head in a way Kaoru could only describe as adorable, "What do you mean? I was sure I made my intentions clear from the beginning," the blonde lord stated.

Kaoru scratched the back of his neck, "Well, I assumed you wanted to help Haruhi & I find my brother out of the kindness of your heart, but if being your lover is what you want out of me, then I'm happy to oblige… Tamaki."

Tamaki chuckled, "Even kind people have ulterior motives sometimes."

Kaoru blinked, then gave a soft smile, "Well, I do suppose that's true." The younger twin looked around the room, "How long did you rent this room out? No offense, Tamaki, but… I would like to get back to my cell soon; to check on Haruhi."

Tamaki nodded understandingly as Kaoru took his first sip of the coffee, "Why, of course; I only rented it out until ten. Then," the blonde lord paused as he made his way over to the coffee table to finish his cup, "I will leave for the airport. I have to go back to France."

Kaoru blinked, crossing his legs, "Go back?" Tamaki nodded in confirmation, "Yes; I told you I have businesses there that need my attention; but do not worry, my sweet Kaoru. I will return to you."

The said boy blushed and looked down at his half-empty cup of coffee, "Okay… Tamaki."

Tamaki then started to button his shirt and search for his dress pants, "Time is about up, Kaoru…"


Haruhi woke up the next morning well-rested next to a still sleeping Yasuchika.

She gave a rare smile as she sat up to glance at the alarm clock: 9:45 a.m.

The brown-eyed girl stretched, and slowly slipped out to go to the bathroom to freshen up.

She filled the platinum tub with warm water, neglecting the jets, and walked over to the mirror; only to see smeared eye make-up that she had forgotten Umehito had applied before she met Yasuchika.

She frowned, grabbing a clean washcloth and running it under the sink, "Gross. Jeez, I hate make-up," she muttered as she wiped her face clean before walking over and turning the tub off.

A light smile graced her face as she slipped into the welcoming water after stripping off her borrowed baby blue bejeweled dress.

"Hm… feels so good…" she murmured to herself, tilting her head back against the side of the tub.

She then heard an amused chuckle, "It also leaves little to the imagination, Haruhi," Yasuchika said.

Haruhi's eyes snapped open and she quickly turned and crouched on her knees so he couldn't see the most intimate parts of her, and glared, "What the fuck are you doing? I'm taking a fucking bath!"

Yasuchika laughed, looking oddly attractive in his cinnamon brown silk pajamas, and said, "Yeah, well, you should have used bubble bath; you can see everything in clear water, Haruhi; and I have to say I like," he said, flashing her a dirty smirk.

An angry blush covered her face as she bit her lower lip, "Get out, Yasuchika." He adjusted his glasses, "You know, I could actually join you."

Haruhi frowned, "I'd sooner die." Yasuchika rolled his eyes and started unbuttoning his sleeping shirt, "What the fuck ever, girl."

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT CALLING ME THAT?"


After a kiss good-bye, Umehito escorted Kaoru out of the Business Wing of the mansion, and back towards the slave cells.

"So how was the visit with Master Tamaki?" The blonde hooded man asked. Kaoru chose his words carefully, "Well, I've already told you that he's wonderful…" Kaoru wasn't entirely sure if he should tell Umehito about Tamaki's plan… knowing how loyal the man was to Master Kyoya, it propbably wasn't the best idea.

"Well, he said he would pay me a visit soon," Kaoru decided on saying, "He has to return to France."

Umehito nodded as they arrived at the heavy metal door that lead to the cells, and unlocked it.

Kaoru frowned as the arrived at his cell, "Where's Haruhi?" Umehito unlocked Kaoru's cell before answering, "She's still with Master Yasuchika."

Kaoru blinked as he walked past the older man into his cell, "Still?" He sat down on his cot, that was on a ledge jutting out from the wall, "Why the fuck is she still with him?"

Umehito leaned against the open cell door, and shrugged, "I don't know, darling. Master Kyoya said he rented the room until noon."

Kaoru blinked, "Fuck, for real?" Umehito nodded, "Yes, but this is good! It makes Master Kyoya very happy; he even stopped counting money long enough to visit his father."

The strawberry blonde boy nodded in surprise, "Huh; well, I guess that's good for us." Umehito nodded in agreement, "Quite."


"Seriously; get the fuck out of the bathtub, Yasuchika," Haruhi snapped as he started to slip into the other side of the tub; naked.

Haruhi was blushing fiercely; who would have known the only time during the Master's stay that they would see each other naked was bathing?

Yasuchika just wore his ever present smirk, "No; I think I'll stay."

Haruhi rolled her eyes in clear annoyance; sure, she wanted to get out; but then, the younger boy would see her clearly… and she didn't want that…

"Fine! Fucking stay, you little pervert." She mumbled as she grabbed the bubble soap to try and create a barrier between her and the young master.

Yasuchika grinned and leaned over, snatching the bottle from her, "I'll take that!"

Haruhi yelped as the sudden movement caused her to slip completely under the water.

Yasuchika laughed as he threw the bottle far away from the tub as she resurfaced; shaking her short brown hair and rubbing her eyes.

"You bastard!" She ground out; finally not caring about whether or not he saw her body; just wanting to get back at him.

Said master's sandy brown eyes widened as the older girl launched herself at him.

"Oh fuck…" He muttered as the collided and sunk under the surface.
