Thank you for the reviews

"Haruhi I'll be leaving now with Hikaru, I trust you'll get a ride with Kaoru?"Kyoya stood there in the baby room changing Fumie into a fresh diaper. He'd had a long talk with Hikaru about the Mori's wedding and they had finally come to terms that what Hikaru was planning for the dresses was out of the budget so they'd have to do some extra work over at Mori's in order to find out what exactly he wanted, although Mori really had no opinion when it came to fashion, he did want Yumi to look her best on their wedding day.

Haruhi stood there holding a bottle for Fumie, it seemed Fumie was getting hungry more often now since they'd taken her off the formula and put her on solid food, which was good except she pooped more often now. Not that Haruhi really minded, and it didn't seem like Kyoya did either but diapers where expensive, and Haruhi had been trying to keep Kyoya from paying for anything. Not that she really could, there always did seem to magically be more diapers and baby whips every time he came over.

"Yeah, are you coming back tonight? Or do you need to go to the office?"Haruhi had come to term that Kyoya wasn't doing anything remotely near romantic with anyone at his office so she didn't feel worried if he stayed there. After all if there was one thing she knew, it was that Kyoya loved her and Fumie very much.

"I'll come by at around 11, I suspect dealing with Hikaru won't be as easy as dealing with Koaru, he's still a bit sore and doesn't want to give me a straight answer"Kyoya explained as he lifted Fumie up and placed her down onto the floor where she stood up and walked slowly towards the pile of toys that Hikaru and Kaoru had kept there for her. Although she very rarely came over, they had been insistent on keeping the room there incase Haruhi wanted them to babysit.

"Do you want me to make dinner?"Haruhi bent down and handed the bottle to Fumie, she had gotten good at holding it up herself and no longer needed Haruhi. But that didn't stop Haruhi from sitting there with her, just to make sure she didn't need help. It made her very happy that Fumie was growing up strong, but then again Fumie was also growing up.

"You'll make an excellent wife Haruhi, but no I'll have something brought to me at the office" Although Kyoya did love Haruhis cooking, which he very rarely got to have lately, he didn't like the thought of her staying awake simply to prepare a meal for him. Even if she wasn't working now he wanted her to rest, she'd been working hard since Tamaki left her, and now she needed a break, or at least she deserved one.

"Since we're on the topic…are we…together now?"Haruhi questioned looking up at Kyoya who seemed perplexed by her question.

"Haruhi I thought I made it clear we were engaged now? Though without the ring I suppose it's not a very solid engagement"Kyoya pondered the thought a bit longer, he had just assume Haruhi was on the same page as him with the whole, relationship thing.

"I don't need a ring, I was just curious"Haruhi really wasn't looking to make it any more solid than it already was, he was practically living with her now, she didn't even know if he went home besides to change and collect work. So a ring wasn't really needed, she'd already had a beautiful ring before, so getting another one really didn't matter.

"Nonsense Haruhi, the future Miss Otoori should have a beautiful ring"Kyoya wasn't about to back down on this one, he'd wanted to marry Haurhi for some time now, and that meant being able to propose to her.

"By beautiful you mean unnecessary arrogantly expensive don't you?"Haruhi knew that when it came to Kyoya buying beautiful things, they were also beautifully expensive, she remembered the time he went out and got Fumie a dress for her party, it was beautifully worth more than her television.

"Hey you two love birds done? Mori's waiting"Hikaru stood there at the door, Kyoya was right he was still sore. So needless to say Kyoya didn't have to make it worse.

"I'll see you tonight Haruhi"Kyoya bent down and placed a light kiss on her lips, it's been over a year since he'd actually kissed her so when Haruhi's cheeks turned a light pink he wasn't surprised.

"I'll be home by 12, I don't think he's going to talking to me much now"Kyoya whispered softly to her before leaving, to follow after Hikaru who just seemed sorer now than before.

Haruhi took the bottle from Fumie making sure she didn't drink too much, and placed the bottle on the dresser.

"Hey you ready to get to work?"Kaoru appeared in the door way holding a bag in his hands. It seemed like a normal enough bag, pink with a small golden symbol on the side.

"What exactly did you have in mind?"Haruhi looked over to Fumie and stepped out into the hall way, even if Fumie didn't understand what they had been talking about, she didn't want her to hear whatever possibly gross things Kaoru was going to say

"Look what's in the bag, I think you'll get the idea"Kaoru handed Haruhi the bag with a smirk on his face and waited for her to open it.

"There's no way I'm doing that"Haruhi looked down into the bag and then back up at Kaoru with a horrified look on her face. Never ever in a million years could she see herself doing something like that.

"That's what he likes, if you want to break him then that's your best chance"Kaoru shrugged knowing full well Haruhi was going to be shocked by what had been in the bag. But she stood there holding the bag thinking over her thoughts.

"Fine, explain to me what to do"

-Tamaki at the Souh Mansion—

"I can't do this anymore"Tamaki whispered to himself as she paced the floor of the hall. He'd been there for the past house pacing around unsure of what to do now. His servants were all standing by waiting for orders, when he'd suddenly busted out of his room they didn't know what to think.

"Master perhaps you should clam down"One of his senior staff suggested as she walked over holding a cup of tea. Tamaki stopped pacing for a moment and looked down at the cup before picking it up. He stared down at his reflections for a moment.

"But what if I don't get to see her again?"Tamaki whispered as he placed the tea back down onto the platter his maid her brought. He'd been mumbling to himself all morning and his staff wasn't sure why, but now they understood.

"Master Souh, you have made your bed, and now you must lie in it. Just like your father made mistakes so have you, and you must find happiness now despite your mistake"She leaned down and placed a small blanket over Tamaki that one of the other maids had given to her. She had taken care of Tamaki for many years, but had retired after he was married, but after hearing about his break down she'd come back, to look after him once again.

"But my father got to at least be friends with my mother again… Haruhi won't even look at me"Tamaki whispered softly as he curled up into a ball on the cold marble floor. His teeth clenched together as he started to sob into the floor. His hand gripped the cold marble trying to grasp for something that wasn't there anymore.

"Excuse me but what should we do?"One of the younger maids came and sat beside them, waiting for an answer from the senior maid who obviously was the one in charge of the younger staff.

"We wait until the Master has finished crying, and then we help him back up"The maid ordered as the staff stood there silently listening to Tamaki sobbing against the tile with the blanket over him, his hair now damp and sticking to the floor.

"Haruhi…Haruhi…"Tamaki whispered into the floor as if he thought that begging to the air would somehow help him

"Um excuse me but…"One of the butlers approached them holding a phone in his hands. He waited for Tamaki to look up at him, even if he was still crying he had the strength to look up

"You have a call sir, from a Master Hikaru"

-The Morinozuka Mansion-

"If you intend to be this childish I'll leave"Kyoya looked over to Hikaru who hadn't said anything to him since they greeted Mori over an hour ago. Mori had gone to get some snacks, or actually to leave the discomfort of the room. Hikaru had been refusing to talk to Kyoya when the questions came up and had been writing messages instead.

"Leave and go home to play with Haruhi? You're such an ass"There it was, Hikaru wasn't letting it ago. He thought that after Tamaki had left Haruhi he'd have a chance, but no Kyoya came in and took her away, leaving him to be just as angry as when Haruhi had picked Tamaki over him.

"And you're being a moron, let's finish this discussion with Mori and you won't need to see me again for a good amount of time"Kyoya wasn't really in the mood for this, he had hoped to finish before I got too late so he'd be able to surprised Haruhi by coming back early, maybe he'd take her to dinner or they'd go to the park with Fumie. But he just wanted to go and see her.

"Cause you'll be spending all your time sleeping with the girl I love"Hikaru wasn't even looking at him, he sat there with his arms crossed glaring at the wall. He really was behaving like a child now, and he was aware of it, but he frankly didn't give a shit.

"And I suppose you think I don't love her? You assume too much without knowing anything Hikaru"Kyoya knew that nothing he said now was going to get through to him, they would be here for hours trying to have a simple conversation that could have been done already if Hikaru had just sucked it up and let it go, but that wasn't in his nature, not when it came to Haruhi. The only person he had ever been okay with losing her too was his brother.

"You don't love her, you just want to use her like you use everyone else, you're no better than Tamaki"Hikaru knew he was pushing it, but he still didn't care.

"Hm.."Mori stood there at the doorway holding the tray of snacks. He had hoped they'd have settled things when he got back, but the tension just seemed worse now.

"Don't compare me to him"Kyoya tried his best to remain clam, they were there to discuss Moris wedding, it was a long awaited event and Mori had finally found happiness outside of caring for Huni. So when Mori sat down Kyoya handed him the current budget.

"This is what it's looking like right now with what the current fashion budget is"Kyoya explained as he held up his own copy and pushed one over to Hikaru

"Screw you Kyoya"Hikaru pushed the paper back not wanting to have anything to do with him right now. He was let himself get so angry he didn't think he'd ever want to see him again.

"Hm…."Mori sat there unsure of what to do, he normally didn't see Hikaru really upset with anyone, let alone did he ever have to deal with it.

"And the same to you Hikaru, now on the back of the page we have the graph of the budget minus the décor, food, and other fees"Kyoya didn't bother giving a real response but continued on trying to explain to Mori who looked distressed now

-Kaoru and Haruhi at the Hiitachi Mansion—

"Perfect, now just all you have to do is say it and you'll be good to go"Kaoru clapped his hands together impressed with his work. Haruhi had been there with him for what seemed like forever now, it's taken her forever to just agree to put on the things in the bag so he could make the proper adjustments for her.

"I won't say it"Haruhi argued as she held the bathroom close around her body. She'd agreed to let Kaoru do the adjustments on the "outfit" he'd given her, but she really didn't like him seeing her in it, so she kept the bathroom on as much as possible.

"Well you don't have to say it for me, I'm not into that kind of thing, as long as you say it for him"Kaoru shrugged, he'd had enough fun with Haruhi for the day. She was so embarrassed to put on the outfit from him, he should she might explode.

"If he's not really into this.. I swear I'm going to beat you up Kaoru"Haruhi looked at the mirror to her side and took deep breath trying to get ready to rehearse what she was supposed to say to Kyoya. It was weird knowing that she was actually planning to have sex with him tonight, she felt like she was trying to trick or steal something form him.

"Trust me he's into it, I remember once Hikaru and I went to his office without calling and he was…. Well um.. nothing really"Kaoru corrected himself remembering that Haruhi probably didn't want to hear about the past women Kyoya had before her. Let alone after what happened with Tamaki, she didn't need to feel self-conscious. So when Haruhi was standing there looking down at her feet Kaoru couldn't help but feel bad.

"Sorry Haruhi I didn't mean to bring anything like that up, if it makes you feel better she wasn't as hot as you are"Kaoru tired his best but knew that Haruhi really didn't care about how "hot" he thought she was. She just cared about Kyoya and worried now that she wasn't going to be enough for him, even if he did love her, it didn't mean that he would think she was the best lover. After all she'd only had been with Tamaki so there was really nothing for her to compare too.

"Just explain to me again why I'm doing this"Haruhis signed, she knew Kaoru was trying to help but really she didn't even know why she wanted to do this so badly.

"Cause you're in love with him?"Kaoru shrugged as he walked over to the mirror and placed his hand on Haruhis back.

"Yeah I'm in love with him"Haruhi blurted out without even thinking about it. But when she did everything seemed to stop. She covered her mouth with her hands and took in a breath.

'I'm..I'm in love with him..I.."Haruhi thought as she closed her eyes, feeling her heart burst open as it she'd been holding in something for years and now it was out.

"Kaoru I… I'm in love with Kyoya!"Haruhi looked at Kaoru who seemed to be confused by her sudden bluntness.

"I know? I didn't think you'd be doing this if you didn't love him"Kaoru answered not really sure of why she was so happy right now.

"I love him… I'm in love with Kyoya"Haruhi held her hands to her chest, feeling like she'd been given a second chance at life. Like she could move on and be happy, and have everything she'd ever dreamed of.

"Good now that you've made that clear, look in the mirror and say what I told you to"

-Kyoya coming back from the Morinozuka Mansion 11:30 pm—

"Could that have been any more frustrating"Kyoya sat there in his limo, his head leaning against the window trying to feel the coolness of the glass. It had been hours of him trying to finish arranging the budget with Hikaru refusing to talk until 10 when Huni finally came over from work and convinced Hikaru to talk, well more like threatened him to talk.

"I could have been done hours ago"Kyoya mumbled to himself as he looked down at his watch. It was getting close to 12 so Haruhi must have already gone to bed, he had admitted he wanted to talk to her. He'd gotten so used to her being there to talk with. It was strange to think he'd be going to bed without so much as hearing her sweet voice.

"Sir we're here"The driver pulled up into Haruhis drive way as Kyoya got out, not bothering to wait for his driver. All he wanted was to go upstairs and hold Haruhi, even if she was already asleep just holding her against him would be enough.

'I need to be quite, waking Fumie would cause a problem'Kyoya thought as he reached into his pocket and withdrew the spare key Haruhi had given him. He turned the key and stepped inside feeling defeated for the day. So when he took his shoes off and noticed the light on in the living room he was surprised.

'Could she still be awake?'Kyoya thought as he walked out into the living room only to see Haruhi standing there, and the sight of her nearly gave him a heart attack

"Welcome Home…Master" There Haruhi stood in the living room, her cheeks flushed red as her short hair rested against her shoulder she looked at Kyoya trying to be as serious looking as possible. She wore a pure black lace bra with a pair of hearts in the center that Kyoya wasn't even sure could be sold in a normal store, along with a matching pair of panties. But the small animal like collar on her neck let him know she'd been talking to some about this.. most likely Kaoru, since he'd never once let on near Haruhi that he enjoyed something like this.

"Well.. do you want to go and play Master?"Haruhi asked trying to hold herself together as she got closer to Kyoya who seemed to be in a state of shock. He had been standing there staring at her, his eyes not leaving her body.

"You can have me any way you want tonight"Being the blunt person Haruhi was you'd think something like that would have been easy enough to say, but Haruhi thought she was going to die right then and there from the embarrassment of literally offering herself to him like she was a play thing.

So when Kyoya reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace she was confused. He rested his head against her shoulder as his grip got tighter.

"You make me feel like some sort of animal"Which was true, Kyoya could stop himself now from picturing the many things he'd like to do to her, and it'd be so easy now. She was so willing, so willing she'd even worn an animal collar and was willing to pretend to be his slave.

"Haruhi why are you doing this to me? I can't not have you if you intend to push me like this"Kyoya whispered softly against her skin. He was so tempted by her now and it didn't help that all he could feel was her bare soft skin against his hands now, and the way she was pressed up against him only made him feel worse.

'She's so..ugh, dammit Haruhi! Dammit'Kyoya thoughts were like murder on his brain as he held her like that, her lack of clothing and her choice in accessories were none the less killing him. He wanted her, he wanted her more than he had that night was laid there naked next to him, and he hadn't believed that was even possible.

"Because Kyoya… I love you"

I think we all know what's going to happen next.
