Is this a dream? A torturing nightmare? A fantasy? It simply couldn't be reality...

But it was. Kyoya's lips against Yuki's was real. He kissed her with passion, rekindling their love as if Yuki had never left. And Yuki could not help but just melt into this kiss. She returned his kiss. She poured all of her love and emotion that she had been holding back into this very kiss.

It was wrong. He was going to get married. Why would he kiss Yuki if he loves Karen? Kyoya is not the type of man to have affairs, Yuki knew. He would never cheat on Karen. Was this a pity kiss?

Yuki suddenly started crying. She could not hold her tears back. Yuki broke away from him and hung her head as her tears dripped onto Kyoya's shirt.

Kyoya ran his thumb across her cheek, wiping a tear. Yuki couldn't look at him. It was too hard. She pushed herself away.

"Stop it. Just stop." She pleaded. "I've cried too much already." She whispered. "We're over, Kyoya. You're freaking engaged. This is wrong. It is so freaking wrong...and you would never cheat. I know you wouldn't do that. You're too good of guy. But I don't want any pity kisses. I don't want you feeling bad for me, either. I did this to myself. It is all my fault. I hurt myself. Don't blame yourself for my heartache. I left. I didn't try hard enough to fight for our relationship. I gave up. I did it. ***i***It's all my fault.***"

"No, Yuki-"

"Yukiiii! Your hot date's here!" Brandy called. Yuki scowled and wiped her eyes.

"I'm fine. I really am. I'm happy for you. It won't be awkward. It'll be like we never had romantic feelings and just be rivals who drive each other crazy. I don't want our friends to get involved. It won't be awkward. It'll work." Yuki assured, catching a tear with a finger. She grabbed a coat. "Have a good night." Yuki turned on her heel to leave, but Kyoya suddenly grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"Wait, Yuki." He said.

"Hey, Yuki! Sorry I'm late!" Nick greeted as he entered the back room. Nick noticed the situation and narrowed his eyes at Kyoya. Yuki jerked her hand free from Kyoya's grasp.

"Hi, Nick." Yuki greeted, putting her tears and emotions behind a cheerful mask.

"You're Ohtori, right? Karen's fiancé?" Nick asked Kyoya.

"Yes."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Nick." They didn't shake hands. There was so much tension in the air. Nick cleared his throat and turned to Yuki. "Ready to go?"

"Yes. Lets go. See you later, Kyoya."

Dinner could've gone better. They went to a Portillo's. Yuki could not stop thinking about Kyoya. She tried so hard not to. She tried so hard to focus on Nick. But, just like everyday since she first entered Music Room Three, Kyoya was on her mind.

Yuki had trouble carrying on a conversation. She couldn't think straight. Has she said too much? Does he hate her now? Will she ever get over Kyoya? Will she ever see sunshine again?

Yuki agreed to go to the party with Nick. It was a friend of his that lives in one of the houses. Yuki knew that they party could get so out of hand. Drugs. Alcohol. Yuki used to be a regular last year, but she realized that drinking herself blind was not going to ease her heartache and longing for Kyoya. But Yuki was so desperate to forget about him tonight. A drink sounds good. She expected beer. Usually the easiest to get. Yuki wondered how they never got caught yet.

Music was blaring. It was dim. Somebody brought glow sticks and threw them everywhere. It was hot. It was sweaty. It was crowded. Glitter and confetti filled the air.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to go get something to drink." Yuki announced loudly above the noise to Nick. There was a punch table. Yuki poured herself a glass and drank it. It tasted differently, but she knew it was because it had alcohol in it. What kind, she did not know. But it was strong and delicious.

Yuki drank some more. She really shouldn't have. It was already affecting her.

"Hey, Yuki!" Nick joined Yuki's side. "Are you okay? You seem so down."

"I'm fine." Yuki assured. He looked at her with puppy dog eyes. Yuki drank more punch. "It's a long story."

"I'm all ears." Yuki sighed.
"Okay. You met Kyoya earlier his evening. Remember? Karen's damn fiancé?" Yuki asked.

"Did he hurt you?" Nick demanded.

"No. I hurt myself." Yuki said. "Kyoya and I went out years ago. But then we sorta broke up. And then he moved on and got engaged. I moved on too, I think, but its weird...I can't really describe it." Yuki didn't want to rat Kyoya out that he made a move on her. Nick might tell Karen and then their engagement would be over.

And that's a bad thing because...? Devil Yuki asked. Yuki wanted for Kyoya not to marry Karen. Actually, Yuki secretly wanted Kyoya to marry her. But Yuki knew how smart Kyoya was. Karen was brutally honest, Yuki picked up. Nick was an honest guy too. So if Yuki were to rat Kyoya out, he would find out and hate her for ruining his engagement.

"What do you mean, 'sorta?'" Nick asked.

"Well, um, we got in a fight. And I did something extremely stupid... I left Japan with my dad and siblings, and moved here." Yuki replied.

"And?"

"And that's it. End of story."

"I see your problem." Nick announced. "You need closure."

"Closure?"

"Yup. Closure. It wasn't a real breakup. You need closure from both Kyoya and yourself. Once you accept that its over, then you can move on." Nick explained.

"Huh. That makes sense. I'll confront him tomorrow and get my closure before dance." Yuki spoke.

"Hey, Nick!" Nick went off to join some friends. Laughing. Chatting. Drinking. But Nick wasn't drinking much. Yuki, on the other hand, was.

"Alright! A party!" Two familiar voices called in unison. All of the members of the former host club entered.

"I really didn't expect Yuki to be here..." Haruhi remarked.

"My, aren't you all look so beautiful with such a radiant glow!" Tamaki exclaimed as girls fawned over the attractive men while Haruhi glared.

"Heyyyyy, guyyyyyysss!" A familiar British accent greeted cheerfully, not angrily. Yuki stumbled up to the host club and giggled. "What are ya doin here? Ah, who cares!? We're gonna have so much fu-uuunnnn."

"Yuki, are you okay? You're acting weird." Haruhi said.

"You're acting weird!" Yuki then burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles.

"What's wrong with Yuki-chan, Takashi?"

"I think she's drunk." Hikaru suggested as he and Kaoru poked Yuki. This prompted Yuki to laugh some more.

"Let me smell your breath." Kaoru commanded.

"Take off your pants!" Yuki shot back, giggling. And then she kissed Kaoru. His eyes widened and he even blushed. Yuki broke off in uncontrollable laughter. Hikaru took the drink from Yuki's hand and sniffed it. Kaoru was momentarily stunned by her kiss.

"She's so drunk." Hikaru announced.

"Noooooo, I'm noooootttt!" Yuki protested, slurring in her British accent. They all gave her a look. "Okay, maybe I am a liiiiiiiitttlleeee teeeeennnyyy tiiiiiinyyyy drunk."

"Mommy! Your daughter is out of control!" Tamaki whined.

"When did she become just my daughter?" Kyoya asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Probably when she got drunk." Haruhi muttered.

"Ground her, mommy! She did a very bad thing! We must ground your daughter!" Tamaki declared. Kyoya just rolled his eyes.

"Tamakiiiiii~!" His new fan club called.

"Coming my princesses!" Tamaki happily skipped over to the girls. Haruhi sent him a death glare, almost as deadly as Kyoya's.

"Dude, this is so freaking hilarious." Kaoru remarked.

"I like drunk Yuki much better!" Hikaru added.

"She talks in her British accent and everything!" Hunny chimed in.

"Watch this!" Hikaru and Kaoru poked Yuki. She went down in a fit of giggles. Haruhi helped her back to her unstable feet. Haruhi made the mistake of letting her go, and Yuki stumbled forward right into Kyoya. She fell back again.

"Who's the bloody git that put a bloody brick wall in the middle of this damn room?" Yuki grumbled. The twins laughed at her. Kyoya helped Yuki to her feet again, and this time held her steady. Yuki pushed (or at least attempted to) herself away. "Stoooooooooppppppp. I gotta...I gotta go talk to Kyoooooyaaaaaaa."

"I am Kyoya." Kyoya stated.

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

"No you're not."

"Yes I am."

Yuki giggled and whispered, "I know. But don't tell Kyoya!" Yuki giggled again. Kyoya sighed.

"Lets talk outside." He took her hand and pulled her out to the hallway, shutting the door behind him. Yuki tripped, but he caught her and pulled her to her feet.

"Kyoyaaaa." Yuki slurred. "I just want to say, I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you and Karen and your little kittttyyy caaaat. But I'm happy that you found Karen and you're gonna marry her. You deserve the besssst. Heehee. I sound like a ssssnake! But anyway, was I heartbroken? Of course! Like you wouldn't believeeee. But don't worry about me. I don't want your bloody pity kisses or anything like that. Of course, it was niceeee. But it's wrong! I'm fine! I'm over you. I. Am. Over. You. And that is closure!"

Yuki blacked out.
