"We lost her for good..." Honey whimpered.

The hosts sat in silence. They wondered what would happen.

"I'll go get her." Mori finally said, standing up boldly.

"But Mori, do you know what that Shadow King will do to you?" Hikaru gasped.

"I have to. It's the only way." Mori walked out.

"Wait!" Honey pleaded.

Mori turned back, only to see the host club standing before him.

"Good luck," Tamaki smiled, lending out his hand.

And Mori shook it in agreement.

"Until then." Mori waved, disappearing into the night.

At The Ootori Estate

Ding dong. The doorbell rang.

"Hello?" a voice called from a distance.

He had heard that voice before.

It was the voice of his beloved Haruhi.

Ding dong. Mori pressed it again.

"Coming!" her footsteps echoed in the house.

Haruhi opened the door, only to be surprised by the unusual greeting.

"Mori?" Haruhi asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I-" Mori stopped. "I...I miss you."

He nervously stood there, waiting for a reaction but somehow received a smile from the girl.

"I miss you too, Mori." she quickly hugged him.

"I also...need to talk about something. With you." Mori calmly sighed.

"What is it?" Haruhi mewed.

"Why can't you go back to your apartment?"

Haruhi drooped her head.

"I have to get married to Kyoya."

Just then did Mori's heart stop.

He fell to the ground, astonished by her.

"Mori?!" Haruhi panicked, catching his heavy body. "What's wrong?!"

And everything faded to black for Mori.

"Hey-" Haruhi said. "Are you alright?"

Mori woke up in the hospital, his body laying on a bed.

Next to him was the host club.

Haruhi, the twins, Tamaki, and Honey.

And to his right was Kyoya.

"You...demon-" Mori's strength was suddenly weak.

"Drugs." Kyoya simply replied, a smirk planted across his face.

"That was a long wait," Honey yawned.

"We had a lot of time to kill," the twins looked at Tamaki.

They were all waiting for what he had to say.

"I-" Tamaki sighed. "I was worried, okay?!"

Mori smiled before locking his eyes back to Haruhi.

"Haruhi..." Mori hoarsely croaked.

"Hmm?" Haruhi turned her eyes to his.

"If I can't have you, I might as well spend the time right now." Mori replied.

"What?" Haruhi asked. "What do you mean?"

"He's going to die..." with those 4 words that Honey croaked, Haruhi's eyes went pure blank.

"No..." Haruhi fell to the ground, tears streaming down her emotionless face. "This isn't happening..."

"But before I-" Mori coughed. "Die, I'd like to say something-"

"NO!" Haruhi screamed, her eyes shut tight. "YOU CAN'T DIE ON ME, MORI!"

"No matter what, no matter how-I'll love you as I always did." Mori smiled.

Beeeeeeeep. His heart stopped.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the monitor, and at Haruhi shivering.

"No..." Haruhi stared at Mori's body. "He's..."

"He's gone, I'm-I'm sorry." Honey put his hand on her shoulder.

I'm sorry for this kind of ending to a chapter! Yes, another cliffhanger! (Sorry again) But anyways, yes the story isn't going to end sad, trust me. I really want to tell you what's going to happen, but I can't!

Yet again, thank you all for your incredible amount of patience and whatnot, and I hope you'all share this series with your friends and family and etc!
