A/N: I wanted to let everyone know that there is a new poll on my profile page. With Valentine's Day coming up, I decided to write an Ouran VDAY story. I might be writing one for Twilight and Fruits Basket also like I did at Christmas, but that is undecided. As with the last poll, cast your vote on who you want to see Haruhi paired up with. Since I have written several Mori stories and am currently working on another one for him, I am excluding him from the poll. You can vote on any of the other hosts, Chika, or Satoshi. (FYI… I kept Hunny in it because although I am working on a Hunny story, it is the only one I have written for him. I love Mori, but thought someone else should get a chance.) You have until Feb 9, 2pm CST to cast your vote. Plenty of time. If for some reason you really want Mori as part of the poll, PM me and depending on the response, I may add him.

As for this story… Yasu is out and Hunny found a connection between Yasu and Daisuke. We still don't know about the letter, and you will find it out in the next chapter. I love writing long chapters for you, but I felt like the way I set everything up in this chapter, that needed to be on its own. What do you think Hunny and Kyoya will do with this latest development? Enjoy and review if you can.

Chapter 25 – Bring Him In

"Kyoya we have a problem," Hunny exclaimed into his phone as soon as he heard the other line pick up. He didn't wait for pleasantries, he was too focused on getting to Haruhi and making sure she was ok.

"What seems to be the problem Hunny?" Kyoya asked as he reviewed a contract that had been placed on his desk that day.

"One of the guards that is protecting Haruhi's house is related to Yasu," Hunny said in a very serious and very calm voice.

Kyoya wasn't fooled by that voice. He knew that when Hunny sounded like that, he was ready to fight; and once he was ready, he would not lose. The Shadow King was also surprised by the information Hunny just relayed to him. How was this possible? They were meticulous when they allowed people onto the Black Onion Squad. They continued to monitor the officers, although not on as high of a level. How did one person get past the walls? "How is that possible?" Kyoya asked. He hated that something so vital slipped past him.

"Daisuke Sasaki is the first cousin of Yasu Sato. His mother's maiden name is Sato. His file is in the stack that you gave to me to review for advanced training. I saw the maiden name and went from there. They grew up together; and from what I can see, he is a model officer and was in your employ before Haruhi met Yasu. There is something else Kyo-Chan…"

"What?"

"He visited Yasu while he was in prison. The last time was yesterday."

"Where is Haruhi now?" Feeling panicked and that was not typical Kyoya Ootori. He was the Shadow King and could keep his cool in any situation. Things were not supposed to pop up like this without his prior knowledge.

"I am on my way to pick her up. We were supposed to go back to her apartment afterward, but I don't feel comfortable doing that now."

"Don't. I am going to have him brought in immediately. I am also having the apartment swept before Haruhi or Ranka step foot through that door. Since Ranka is not supposed to be home until after midnight, we have time as long as you can keep Haruhi occupied."

"Good. I want you to know that I want to ask Daisuke some questions."

"Hunny, Haruhi doesn't need to be around Yasu or his family," Kyoya said trying to talk some sense into the shorter man.

"I will leave her at my family house with Satoshi and Yasuchika. I will be there when you question him," Hunny stressed.

"Ok, I will expect you soon then," Kyoya sighed. He wanted to be able to get information has calmly as possible, using his own tactics. Hunny, although he sounded calm, could be a loose cannon when it came to Haruhi. He really hoped that Hunny's sense of reason and calm stuck with him throughout the interrogation. He called the officer in charge and gave him the orders to bring Daisuke in and to search the apartment.

Daisuke would be taken to the private police headquarters. Once Hunny arrived at Kyoya's office, they would go there together. Never liking surprises or unpredictable outcomes, he called Mori and informed him about what was going on. He also informed the older man that Hunny insisted on being there for the interrogation. Mori decided it was best if he was also there. Kyoya exhaled, he hoped that having Mori present would help keep Hunny calmer.

When Hunny got off of the phone with Kyoya, he immediately called Chika and Satoshi. He needed them to stay with Haruhi until he was done with Daisuke. Neither Chika nor Satoshi questioned him or declined. The only thing they knew was Hunny was asking them to do this and knowing what was going on, they figured it was serious if he was asking them to personally watch his girlfriend. They agreed and would be waiting at the Haninozuka estate for Haruhi to be dropped off.

"Daisuke, come with me. We need to go to headquarters for a meeting," the captain said to the younger officer. He did not know why Daisuke was being called into HQ for questioning, but he was sure Kyoya had his reasons and he was not going to question them. He had instructed two other officers to search the apartment and bring anything suspicious when they were finished.

"Why do we need to go to HQ?" Daisuke said from his position in an alleyway.

"We were called into a meeting. Let's go before we are late," the captain replied trying to get the man to follow him without a struggle or suspecting he was wanted for more.

Daisuke was suspicious, but he did not question it further. He wasn't a ranking officer on the force and although he hoped that one day he would be, he wasn't there yet. Needless to say he wasn't sure why he was selected to return with his captain. He followed his superior into the back of a waiting car and went willingly to the unexpected meeting hoping that it was a good thing and he was being given a commendation or greater responsibility. He believed that he did have something to offer as far as tactical planning went and if this was his opportunity, he would take it.

The two officers searching the apartment found a plane white envelope with only the name Haruhi written on the front of it. It was in a pile on the floor with the mail and did not look like it belonged. They decided to take the whole pile just to be safe. It was always better to take too much rather than not enough. Nothing else seemed amiss, so with their findings, they returned to headquarters to hand over the items to the higher ups. Something was very wrong.

Hunny arrived at the law offices with about fifteen minutes to spare until Haruhi's end time. He decided to wait out the time inside because after the shock he received earlier, he needed to see her and see for himself that she was alright. He needed to know that nothing was wrong and that Yasu had not gained access to her by some means. It was already apparent that he had access to information about her security with his inside man, so it was possible that he somehow got to her.

Walking up to the receptionist desk, Hunny asked her where he could find Haruhi. She asked him what his name and business was with her and before he could respond, one of the partners who recognized his face started to apologize for the lack of knowledge the receptionist had. Holding up his hand to prevent further words from spilling out of the partner's mouth, Hunny said, "I just want to know where Haruhi Fujioka is. Please show me to her desk, and your receptionist did nothing wrong. Not everyone knows who I am by face and I had not given her my name. With the increase in security, I am glad that she took the effort to ask those questions." He would make sure the partner knew that she was in the right with her line of questioning.

"Yes, Haninozuka-sama. Fujioka-san is this way," the partner said with gusto.

Inwardly Hunny was rolling his eyes. If this man really thought kissing up to the heir of the Haninozuka family was going to win him favor, he was sorely mistaken. "Thank you," he smiled politely and followed closely behind the man silently wishing he would go faster. When they arrived at Haruhi's desk, it was empty and Hunny did not see her, "Where is she?"

"I am sure she is just in the file or copy room. I did not realize that Fujioka-san had such connections. First Ootori-sama and now you," the partner was trying to figure out if this intern with a commoner background was common after all.

"Thank you for showing me the way. I am sure that I can find her from here," Hunny said as he started to walk off and stopped quickly turning his head to look at Haruhi's boss once again, "You have no idea who my girlfriend has as possible connections, so take my advice and remember that." Hunny was not in the mind set to be polite or kind, in fact he sounded more like Kyoya, but he was more worried about Haruhi and wondered if this guy would try to take advantage of her, or worse, if Yasu could get to him. It would be good for him to remember that Haruhi was not a mere commoner and that she was very connected to the Haninozuka family.

Hunny started his search for her and within minutes found her in the file room with her bodyguard. She was not watching who was entering the room, but her protector was well aware. When Kenta saw Hunny enter the room, he bowed and stepped to the side so that Hunny could have a clear view of his girlfriend. Hunny breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her putting a file back in place. He felt like he could breathe again and the knots in his stomach, released themselves, "Haru-Chan."

Haruhi looked up when she heard the nick name her boyfriend liked to use since the day she met him, and saw Hunny standing about five feet away from her. He looked relieved, like he had been through hell and back again. Warily she asked, "What's wrong Mitsukuni? Are you alright?" By the time she finished her questions, she was right in front of him and looking him over. The way he looked when she had turned around made her worry that Yasu had already tried something.

"I am fine Haru-Chan. I was just worried about you," Hunny said truthfully. He had debated about telling her about Daisuke and decided it was best saved for later after he had more information.

Haruhi felt relieved and gave Hunny a warm smile, "I am alright. My guards stuck beside me all day and didn't let anyone near me."

"Good, that is what they are supposed to do," Hunny said as he rolled his eyes.

Haruhi let out a small chuckle and then glanced at her watch; she still had five minutes before she was supposed to leave, "I still have a few minutes before I am done for the day. Do you want to wait at my desk or stick with me?" She knew what his choice would be before she voiced her question.

"I think I will stay with you," Hunny said smiling as he leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He needed to keep her in sight for now, as assurance that she was truly alright.

"Ok, then come with me," Haruhi said as she exited the file room and walked to the copy room carrying another folder with her.

When she was finally done with her tasks, she was running a few minutes behind. She hurried to her desk and cleared it away, grabbing her things and Hunny's hand, walked out of the office and into the waiting car. She noticed within a couple of minutes that they were not heading towards her apartment, "Mitsukuni, where are we going? This is not the way to my place."

"I have something I need to do, so I am taking you to the Haninozuka estate," Hunny said without giving more of an explanation. He knew Haruhi being who she is, that would not be enough for her and it wasn't.

"Why do I need to go there? I have officers watching the house and a body guard with me?" Haruhi asked bluntly.

"Chika-Chan said he would help you with self-defense tonight. We haven't been doing much training lately. Besides I think Beth-Chan is with Sato-Chan and he is at the estate also," Hunny offered hoping that she would take the morsel he gave her.

"Well Beth and I did say we would get together this week and I do need to work on my self-defense, but not too late. Right?"

"I shouldn't be too late, but if you need to, you can stay there or I will have Chika-Chan escort you home."

"Are you sure your brother wants to do this?"

"I am sure. He just wants to make sure you are safe also. So will you let them watch over you tonight? I just have to take care of some business and I would rather you were with family tonight. I think I am a little on edge with everything going on."

Haruhi could see the stress on his face even though he was trying to hide it. If something as simple as hanging out with his brother and cousin would help him, then she would do it. "Alright Mitsukuni," she said as she leaned in and gave him a hug laying her head on his shoulder.

Soon enough they were pulling up to the estate and Hunny was helping Haruhi out of the car. He walked her into the house where her three hosts for the night were waiting in the living room. After giving her a kiss, he walked out of the house and called Kyoya as soon as he was once again ensconced in the car, "Kyo-Chan, I am on my way."

"I will be waiting for you. Daisuke has already been brought in and I have been informed that a letter was found. No one has opened it yet and they have been instructed to hold everything until we arrive," Kyoya said pushing his glasses up.

"Good. I will inform you when we are about there and you can meet me downstairs," Hunny said. He told himself to remain calm and that maybe Daisuke wasn't on Yasu's side. It didn't help much, but he would get his answers tonight.

"By now she is reading that letter and will know that she cannot get away from me," Yasu said to himself. There was no way he would be caught. Oh he was sure that Haruhi would show her boy toys the letter, but that did not mean anything. If he was questioned, he could easily say that was not the letter he wrote. He would also say that his cousin forged a fake letter to get him in trouble because Daisuke was either coerced into it by one of those damn hosts, or because he has his own vendetta against him due to his loyalty to Ootori. Either way, it will look bad for both Daisuke and Ootori. It was perfect.
