Okay, so the hotel has Wifi, so I'm going to do an update while here for all of you.

Got the plot down down DOWN so this is set in bedrock.


When Haruhi's eyes opened again, she heard angry voices outside the room. Taking a quick glance, she noted that only Kyoya was missing, so she assumed it must be him and his dad arguing. A frown crossed her face momentarily, but it didn't stay as the others quickly crowded around the bed.

"Haru-chan!"

"Haruhi!"

"Haru!"

The enthusiastic cries of the boys filled her heart with warmth, though she was especially glad for the short blond and his sweet demeanor. Tamaki and Mori pulled a table over with a big cake on and between the beds. Hikaru was smiling with his brother at his side, laughing. The mood in the room seemed so happy for a change and Haruhi couldn't help but let a wide grin cross her features, brown eyes twinkling with laughter as jokes were shared. She didn't mind that some were inappropriate or at girls, she just enjoyed the time that was filled with happiness. A time that was needed for the being. She was brought out of her smiling state as a frowning Kyoya came into the room. His eyes were grim as he sat in a chair heavily.

"Guys, I'm going to have to leave... My father is shipping me off on account that our little group is being plagued by something and he doesn't want me in it any longer."

Everyone froze, sadness flashing in their faces briefly, but still long enough for Kyoya to see. He bowed his head, not wanting to show his weakness. That he cared about the crazy group and didn't want to leave them.

"I'll try to keep digging for things about the group, but." He took a breath. "I'm sorry guys... I don't think I'll be able to help much until I get back."

A couple of the guys managed a short nod, but Haruhi was the first to speak up.

"Is it only temporary?"

The dark teen let out a sigh and adjusted his glasses. "I have no clue. All I know is I leave in an hour, so I have to go... I'll try to keep in touch." Was all he managed before leaving the room. When he was out of sight and hearing distance, he let his tears fall, cursing himself for nearly losing his cool in front of them.

In the room, the rest looked around quietly, the jovial mood broken so suddenly, and the cake didn't seem quite as appealing anymore. Mori decided it was late enough and that Honey needed a proper rest, so the two of them left. Kaoru put the chairs together with an extra pillow as he was staying with his brother, but Tamaki was the last to leave, pausing by the door.

"If you guys need anything, don't hesitate to call for me. I'm going to go stay at my little house near the beach so I'm closer." They nodded in response and watched him walk out, the last thing they noticed was that his eyes had a hard and steely glint in them with the dying sun, drowning in the ocean in the distance, setting the water itself on fire. It was strange to see the normally happy and flirtatious boy so cool and calm and so suddenly. They decided not to do anything about it yet for the time being.


Tamaki unlocked the door and went inside, throwing his coat on the couch before walking to his room and falling onto his bed. The stress was getting to him and he was exhausted. Long nights of nightmares burned into his memory now. All his friends being taken around him and Honey suffering the most. The lolita boy was crumbling, and now that one of the group was away, it did nothing to ease any of their heavy hearts. Tamaki crawled under the covers, not even bothering to change out of his cloths. Nearly as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was asleep.

Tamaki dreamed the world around him was growing warmer by the second. A bird flew by, but it was on fire, almost like a meteor, or in this case a phoenix. Soon the heat began to bother him, making him tug at his shirt. Soon it became so uncomfortable, he woke.

The scene that he saw was no better. The heat was nearly unbearable and he rolled off his bed and onto the floor in a coughing fit. His lungs ached and he stayed low. His house was on fire. Reaching for the door, he found the heat rolling off of it. It was a matter of time before it too caught and left him to burn. He looked to the window only to remember his family always had it barred against intruders. The only way out was the door and the fire was hottest out there. Grabbing the glass of water he didn't remember getting before bed, he tore a piece off his shirt and drenched himself, tying the torn piece over his mouth and nose to filter the air before he kicked the door down. The flames leaped at him hungrily, but found him too damp to do much. He scrambled down the hall, hurrying, yet trying not to hyperventilate and drag in more air than was available. Nearing the stairs, he was totally dry and feeling the pain as the flames grabbed for him, trying to set him alight to die in the place. He struggled against his mind and pushed on to the first step. He made it half way before a beam crashed down on him, knocking down the rest of the stairs. He slapped at the tail of his shirt that was flaming, though it was forgotten when he tried to stand. His ankle sent waves of nauseating pain through his body, knocking him back to the ground swearing loudly. The fire was worsening and he didn't know what else to do. Deciding quickly, he began dragging himself to the door, reaching for it with desperation in his being. The fresh air assailed him and he hauled himself to his feet, limping quickly away, smudged and burned, but alive. Someone saw him and walked over, pointing at the house, he nodded and fell in a fit of coughing, ripping the make-shift filter from his face.

"That's my house... Can I use your phone?"

The person that looked to be a lady nodded and held it out to him. He dialed the number to Kaoru's cell, getting a groggy answer nearly immediately.

"What'd you need, Tamaki?" He growled quietly through the phone. Tamaki started hacking before he answered.

"House burning. Can I come and stay with you all? I'm sure they have room for one more."

"Tamaki, get here now. Don't even wait, just get here. I'll make sure the doctors know so they can help you."

"Thanks, Kaoru." He wheezed. "You've got no idea how great that actually sounds.

What would Honey do when he hears about the fire?


I hope you guys enjoy! Remember to review! ;)
