Author's Note: As promised, here is the rest of the ball. Ouran isn't mine but I sure am having fun borrowing it. I hope you are too, please read and review.

Chapter 16:

Haruhi and Kyoya are just stepping off the dance floor a while later when a blur of green with long black hair throws itself at Kyoya. Haruhi jumps out of the way as a tall man with black hair and an easy going grin walks up behind the blur.

"Oneesan...this is not how to act at a ball." Kyoya manages when he gets the breath back she had knocked out of him.

"Oh hush Kyoya. I am your big sister and I haven't seen you in a while."

"You saw me yesterday!"

"But that was hours ago..." She whines and pouts.

"Fine. Fuyumi-neesan, Shido-san this is my date for the evening, Fujioka Haruhi but we are actually calling her Haruka-san tonight. Haruka, this is my older sister Fuyumi-san and her fiancée Shido-san."

"It's nice to meet you both!" Haruhi says with a smile and a bow. Fuyumi throws herself at Haruhi and hugs her as Shido-san holds back a laugh and says,

"Yes, your father explained the circumstances. It is nice to meet you too Haruka-san."

"Oh I am so excited to meet you! Kyoya has told me so much about you!"

"Has he now?" Haruhi says raising an eyebrow and Kyoya blushes slightly.

"I haven't shared all your secrets, not to worry," he says and Haruhi rolls her eyes.

"Otouto, you have not introduced us to your lovely friend." A voice says behind them and is very shortly joined by another.

"Yes, Kyoya, that is very bad manners."

"I apologize Yuuichi-niisan, Akito-niisan. Haruka this is my eldest brother Yuuichi-san and my other, middle, older brother Akito-san." Kyoya says with a bow.

"It is very nice to meet you Yuuichi-san, Akito-san." Haruhi says with a smile and the two men bow back before walking away. Kyoya just shakes his head and Haruhi looks very confused.

"Sorry about them, father probably sent them over to be introduced and after performing the bare minimum they left." Kyoya explains and Haruhi nods.

"Don't worry about them. Now come on, I want to know all about you. I want to know how a girl has managed to not go insane in that host club." Fuyumi says and drags Haruhi away.

"I apologize Ootori-san it appears my fiancée has stolen your date." Shido-san says with a chuckle and Kyoya smiles.

"It's alright, I half expected it to happen when she figured out Haruhi isn't just a random girl father told me to bring."

"Oh?"

"Fuyumi didn't tell you?"

"All she said was that she thinks you like Fujioka-san as more than just a friend."

"Exactly, hence oneesan is probably going to try and get to know Haruhi very well right now."

"Not to mention she will try and find a way to push you two together."

"Possibly." Kyoya says and bows slightly to Shido before walking away.

After a half hour of Fuyumi interrogating and trying to get to know Haruhi, Kyoya finally rescues her saying he is expected to be accompanied by his date. Haruhi looks a little relieved but not too worse for wear.

"So what did you think of Fuyumi-oneesan?"

"She is very easy going and energetic. She is not what I would expect of an Ootori. If I didn't know better, I would say she is related to Tamaki-senpai. Fuyumi-san is really nice though and I like her."

"Good. I can tell she likes you too. She would have brought you back to me if she didn't like you. Oh she may try and push us together, fair warning."

"So that's why she asked me to coffee next week before classes started?"

"Yes. I will have to think about telling her the truth. I hate lying to my sister, she is my favourite and raised me after my mother-but she also cannot keep a secret to save her life."

"We will figure something out" Haruhi says and quickly glances around before kissing his cheek. Kyoya blushes and glances around as well.

"You are lucky no one is looking at us."

"I made-" Haruhi starts but is cut off by Kyoya's father speaking into the microphone on stage.

"I would like to welcome everyone and thank you all for coming. The Ootori family is very happy to ring in the new year with all of you. Please continue to enjoy dancing and the food laid out. I would just like to point out that the count down to midnight will begin in 5 minutes. You are more than welcome to join us on the balcony for fireworks." He says and there is loud applause before most of the people head toward the now open balcony doors.

"Is it bad that I am really sad that I cannot kiss you at midnight?" Haruhi asks from beside Kyoya on the balcony a few minutes later.

"No, I am sad too."

"It's too bad, apparently it is good luck to kiss the person you love at midnight on New Years Eve." Haruhi says with shrug. Kyoya is about to respond when his father and everyone else cuts him off.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1... HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everyone shouts and Kyoya decides to screw it. He turns to Haruhi and kisses her passionately. She is in shock for a minute but kisses him back.

When they pull back, they both look around to make sure that no one saw them. As far as they can tell, everyone else is too busy with the fireworks and other chaos to notice them. The problem is, they did miss seeing two hosts who were not distracted by everything around them and definitely saw that kiss.

The next morning, Haruhi wakes up in a very large, comfy bed. She smiles as she remembers the night before and stretches before getting out of bed. She glances at the clock and then goes to take a shower in the attached bath. Noon, I wonder if Kyoya is awake yet. She thinks as she washes her hair.

After getting dressed, in jeans and a purple sweater, Haruhi heads to Kyoya's room. She knocks on the door and when no one answers checks the handle. It's open so she carefully opens it and looks inside. There is no one in the common area of the room but she can hear slight noises from up the stairs. Quietly, she heads up them and sees Kyoya, fast asleep, sprawled across the king size bed. Holding back a chuckle she goes over to the bed and gently shakes him awake.

"Kyoya...Kyoya...it's 12:30...it's time to get up..." She says as she shakes him but to no avail. She then tries sitting on the edge of the bed and shaking him a little more, saying the same thing.

The next thing she knows however Kyoya is on top of her and has her pinned. There is an aura around him but when he realizes who he has pinned, it recedes.

"Oh Haruhi, it's just you...what time is it?" Kyoya asks rolling beside her.

"12:30Pm. If that is the low pressure demon lord, that is nothing."

"I calmed down because it was you. I am happy to see you." He says rolling over and pulling her into his arms.

"Mmmm. Happy New Year Kyoya." Haruhi says giving him a light kiss before snuggling into his chest.

"Happy New Year Haruhi." Kyoya says with a yawn.

Fuyumi looks at the time and realizes Kyoya isn't up yet. She could send a maid but prefers waking him herself. She is the only one that can get away with doing it unharmed and without causing damage to the house. Fuyumi heads upstairs and barges right into his room.

It is as she reaches the bed that she is shocked. She knew Kyoya brought a date last night but no one had informed her that she was spending the night. When she sees the two of them together, bodies intertwined and Haruhi nuzzled into her chest, Fuyumi lets out a very loud squeal. Both teens are awoken by this but Kyoya is the first to speak.

"Fuyumi! What the hell?!"

"Kyoya, did you know that there is a girl in your bed?"

"Yes, somehow I managed to notice that."

"Does father know?"

"He did know she spent the night, in the guest room across the hall. He didn't know she came here this morning to wake me and we fell asleep. Though from your squealing and yelling, he may now." Kyoya says sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

Haruhi meanwhile looks between the two siblings trying to fight laughter. The situation may look bad but Fuyumi's reaction and Kyoya's reaction to it are much to interesting. As Kyoya puts on his glasses, he sees the look on Haruhi's face.

"Haruhi, what is it?" He asks and this causes Haruhi to lose it and burst into laughter.

"I am ...sorry... It's...just...you two...reactions...funny..." She manages through laughter. The two siblings look at her like she has grown an extra head and this calms her down.

"Sorry it's just the interaction between you two was kind of funny. Sorry for scaring or worrying you Fuyumi. As Kyoya said, I came in to wake him up earlier and then we fell back asleep."

"Alright but you two seem pretty close for just being his date for the evening. What's really going on here?" Fuyumi asks putting her hands on her hips.
