CHAPTER 7

Well, from the way I depict everyone, I guess you can tell who is my favorite in the host club :) Sorry for fans of the others, because I make them all horrible and mean. I love all the hosts, but for story purposes, they're all gonna be dicks.

Sorry for the shorter-than-normal chapter, but it had to be done. The next one will be out as quickly as possible.

"Well, well, well," Tamaki said, his arms crossed. "What do we have here?"

"Ah, Tamaki-senpai, don't be so cliche," Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison.

Tamaki smirked. "Well Kyoya, we knew it all along. We could figure it out, and it's alright. There's just one thing, if you want to stay with her, you'll have to leave the host club."

Stunned silence filled the empty room as everyone tried to process this. Kyoya was just too shocked to say anything.

"Wait, hold on a minute boss," Hikaru started.

Kaoru followed, "Yeah, that's not fair."

"Kyo-chan's leaving?" Honey said, voice quivering.

"That doesn't make sense," the twins said in unison, Mori grunting in agreement.

Tamaki sighed. "I'm sure you all know full well I don't want it to be like this, but we are a host club. A HOST club. Our sole purpose is to entertain beautiful single ladies, and if we are all in relationships, it won't mean anything to our customers. We wouldn't be faithful, and no one would come to visit us anymore. You see where I'm going with this?" Tamaki asked, turning to Kyoya. He was silent.

It was Hikaru who finally spoke up again. "W-what if they could just keep it a secret?"

"Secrets are meant to be told. If it ever got out, we could be ruined," Tamaki said angrily.

Kyoya, Haruhi thought, I wouldn't want you to leave the host club just because of me. They are your friends, you've known them for a long time. That is bond that mustn't break.

Kyoya pondered his decisions. He didn't want to leave Haruhi, but he didn't want to, couldn't leave the host club. Sighing, he said, "Fine, Tamaki." He leaned over and kissed Haruhi on the cheek, but before he left, he whispered something in her ear.

He stood up and walked slowly over to the rest of the host club. Tamaki clapped him on the shoulder and lead them out of the ballroom exclaiming, "We will meet in the club room tonight. Urgent meeting."

Haruhi stood there, shocked, but knowing Kyoya made the right decision. His whispered words still echoed in her head, Keep it a secret.

"So, we all understand what we can't do now? I don't want to see this club break up." Kyoya knew the meaning behind Tamaki's reasoning, which was why he stayed with the club. The blonde had no one else, and his friends were the only ones he could go to. Kyoya couldn't just leave him now, but he hoped Haruhi would understand the meaning behind what he said. No, he can't leave her, and this way, he hoped they could make it work. He sat back in his chair and crossed his arms.

"We understand, boss."

"Yea Tama-chan, but don't think you were a little harsh back there?"

They sat in silence after Honey's comment. "What's done is done," Tamaki said. "Maybe I was, but I did what I had to."

Poor Haru-chan, Honey thought. But he did not speak again.

Kyoya, who had not spoken throughout the meeting, excused himself from the group. When he left, Tamaki looked suspiciously at the door. They had left it open just a crack, and Haruhi was hiding behind it, spying on them. Her heart jumped when Tamaki looked her way, and she knew that he knew she was there. He looked away and whispered something inaudible to Honey and Mori.

"Scare her. Break her ankle if you have to. Let her know we're the wrong people to mess with."

"What? But Tama-chan, I couldn't do that!" Honey exclaimed.

Even Mori looked slightly upset about this order.

"Just do it." Tamaki looked so furious, Honey and Mori jumped up and left.

When Haruhi saw them coming, she started running. Being slow and somewhat unathletic, Mori caught up quickly, and Honey materialized in front of her. She saw Honey had tears in his eyes, and she stopped in front of him. Her eyes grew wide with fear, and she couldn't move. When she tried to dash around the small blonde, but he stopped her. She tripped in her dress, which restricted her running, and she rolled her ankle and tripped. "Sorry Haru-chan." She fell silently, without a cry, and she saw them look back in pity.

Inside, Tamaki asked, "Did you do it?"

Honey nodded remorsefully, and he held in his tears, but once they left, he let them spill out.

Why Tamaki, why would you make me do this? What's gotten into you?

"So, Kyoya," Tamaki teased in homeroom the next morning. "Where's your little girlfriend?"

Kyoya sullenly looked up from his notebook and gruesomely replied, "I found her in the hallway outside the club room. She died last night."

MAJOR CLIFFHANGER! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry please don't kill me!

I was scared to update this chapter because everyone is so nice, and I didn't want you all to be mad. Although I understand, I'll try to get the next chapter out asap.
