Chapter 7:
Picking Haruhi up in order to spend the day with her was easy, getting her out of the car, was more difficult. Upon seeing Kyoya's house, she went into shock. She kept mumbling a mixture of things varying from "damn rich bastards" to "oh my god, it is bigger than my apartment building." Eventually, Kyoya calmed her down and got her inside but some maids were required to make some chamomile tea.
Sitting in the library, Haruhi is now more than a little embarrassed for her initial reaction to Kyoya's house. She knew his family was filthy rich, she just didn't realize it meant this large of a house or that in addition to this gigantic library Kyoya has his own study with even more books. She doesn't even want to know how big his bedroom is.
"Alright. So do you understand how these types of questions work now?" Kyoya asks bringing her back to studying. Although her coming over was mostly so they could spend time together, Haruhi figured she might as well take advantage of having a boyfriend who enjoy physics and get some help in the trickier questions.
"Yes, sorry. Thank you again Kyoya."
"No problem. Like I said the other day, Physics is one of my favourite subjects. Are there any other questions or can I show you the garden now?"
"Sure lets-" Haruhi starts but is cut off by a knock at the door.
"Enter!" Kyoya calls and a middle aged woman enters.
"Sorry to disturb Ootori-san but you have a phone call from Suou-san and he is quite insistent that he must talk to you. He seems very upset and worried." The woman says holding out a cordless phone to Kyoya. Haruhi shoots Kyoya a look and both of them begin to regret turning off their cell phones once Haruhi came over.
"Thank you Azumi. I will return the phone to the kitchen when I am done."
"Yes sir." The housekeeper replies and leaves the room with a bow.
"What do you want Tamaki?" Kyoya asks holding the phone to ear.
"HARUHI, MY DAUGHTER, MY SWEET, INNOCENT, DAUGHTER! SHE IS MISSING!" Tamaki shouts and Kyoya holds the phone a foot away from his ear. He looks to Haruhi, who is sitting on the couch beside him, and they both roll their eyes.
"First stop yelling Tamaki. I have perfect hearing. Second-"
"Sorry, I am just so worried."
"Second, I am certain Haruhi is not missing Tamaki."
"But she is not at home and I have been near her house long enough to be sure she didn't just go to the store! We have to go looking for her and make sure she is okay!"
"Well have you asked her father where she is?"
"I tried, he just stomped on my face."
"Well was he worried about her?"
"No but-"
"Tamaki, I am sure she is just fine. She is not a child."
"Why aren't you worried about this!? OUR DAUGHTER IS GONE!"
"Haruhi is not our daughter and she is not gone."
"Ugh! I am going to go call the twins. They will care, they will help me, even if they are evil doppelgängers. I am disappointed in you Kyoya."
"You really don't need to do that. As I have said-"
"Also, turn your phone back on. Even if you aren't worried, for some reason, I am going to keep you updated until she is found." Tamaki says and hangs up, leaving Kyoya staring at the phone. At this point, Haruhi cannot keep it in any longer and bursts out laughing.
"Well that was interesting." Kyoya says hanging up on his end.
"I don't know whether to be pissed or amused by that. Is it always like that?"
"Yes and I would say both. Tamaki's insanity can be amusing but also very annoying."
"He doesn't listen either and he is so bloody protective I am surprised paper companies aren't sued whenever I get a paper cut." Haruhi says with a chuckle.
"Please don't give him ideas..."
"He wouldn't..."
"I dunno, Tamaki can be an idiot..."
"Yes and now he has recruited two more to apparently find me."
"Oh yes, what should we do about that? Tell them you are safe here, studying, or just see how far they get?"
"Could they track me down to here?"
"Unlikely. However if they do, or if we tell them, we can deny them entrance to the estate."
"Because that would go over well...ugh...why can't I have one nice date with my boyfriend without those idiots interfering!?" Haruhi asks and, as if on cue, the phone rings again.
"Ootori Residence."
"Kyoya! I have a conference call now. Hikaru and Kaoru are talking on here too now."
"Hello!" The twins chorus and Haruhi rolls her eyes.
"Tamaki, I told you she is fine, you really-"
"But where would she go? She obviously isn't running errands..."
"Maybe she is out with a friend." Kaoru, the sometimes voice of reason, suggests.
"Well then why wouldn't her father tell me where she is?"
"Ranka hates you with a passion, he would never, willingly, tell you anything Tamaki." Kyoya voices pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration.
"Yeah, if Ranka knew it would drive you crazy, he would purposefully not tell you things." Hikaru adds and an argument starts about whether Ranka is that mean. After several minutes of this, Haruhi tugs on Kyoya's arm and mouths to just tell them. Kyoya raises an eyebrow and she just nods. With sigh he speaks the words he really does not want to.
"Everyone, I hate to break up this amusing argument but you are off topic."
"Yes. We need to find Haruhi and make sure she is okay." Tamaki says.
"Like I have been saying all along Tamaki, she is fine."
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE? She could be injured some-"
"Tamaki, I am looking right at her."
"Oh." Tamaki says and the twins laughter can be heard on the line.
"Yes. We are trying to study. I am helping her with her physics homework. Now can we get back to that please?"
"Alright, sorry for bothering you. Wait! Kyoya! Do you think you can not tell her about this? Please? I am begging you."
"She has been sitting beside me the entire time. She has heard everything."
"Oh." Tamaki says again and the twins howl with laughter even louder.
"Goodbye Takaki." Kyoya says and hangs up.
