I never told Haruhi what happened and especially not about why I was called to the chairman's office. I sigh as I walk into the host club.

"Tasi-chan!" Honey jumps into my arms.

I smile lightly at him after I catch him.

"Hi Honey."

"Tasi-chan seems upset... Will you eat some cake with me and Usa-chan?" He does a puppy dog pout to me.

I exhale at him. I can't say no. Maybe eating cake will cheer me up. Luckily, Tamaki said we're closed for today to take a day off. Honey pulls me to a two person table and we sit opposite of each other. He sets Usa-chan on the table next to him then grabs a fork and stuffs his mouth with cake. I giggle then pour myself some tea.

"Hey Tasia. Wanna study with me after school then we can talk if you'd like?" Haruhi walks up to me.

"Of course." I smile, sipping my tea.

We all stop when the doors burst open. I turn to see a guy with brown hair and light brown eyes. He looks in pain and his breathing is heavy. He is wearing ripped clothing and his hair is pointing in every direction. I drop the teacup I am holding, making it break, as I realize who it is. It can't be... It's not possible.

"L-Leonder...?" I almost whisper, my voice cracking.

He looks right at me, his eyes starting to tear up. He runs towards me and I run equally as fast. I rush into his arms, crying hard. We end up crying into each other's shoulders on our knees, hugging each other tightly and not wanting to let go. This is surreal. This is impossible. But... It's real.

Once we're calm, I cup his cheek and stare into his eyes.

"It's really you, Leonder?" I ask.

He nods and chuckles, sniffling.

"Yeah... It really is, Xyla... It really is..."

"I missed you so much, Leo. I was so broken when I thought you were truly gone."

"I know... Mother told me..." He says with a cold tone.

I almost stop breathing. I pull away from him, slowly. I stare into his eyes for a long time, searching for a reasonable explanation.

"She lied to me?"

"Xyla-"

"SHE LIED TO ME ABOUT YOUR DEATH?!" I stand up and almost punch the wall.

"Tasia... Calm down..." Hikaru says, grabbing one of my arms.

"He's alive now. Be grateful." Kaoru adds, spinning my around to face him.

I look at Kaoru with a calmer face.

"Is he really real, Kaoru? Is he?" I mumble.

I watch as Hikaru pokes Leonder's cheek.

"Seems real to me." He smirks.

I look back at Leonder. I finally see his cuts, bruises, and scars clearly. I gasp and cover my mouth, not wanting to cry.

"What happened to you? What did she do to you?!" I whisper, my voice squeaking a bit at first then I almost yell at the last part.

"Let him explain after we get him to the hospital. My family owns some. We should get him in quickly." Kyoya walks up to us.

"Mori-senpai? Can you-" I start to ask, but Mori already picks up Leonder and carries him over his shoulder.

Alright then... We walk out the building and I squeeze Leonder's hand the whole time, smiling at him softly and trying not to cry and telling him he'll be okay. We get into a limo and Kyoya tells the driver where to go. Once we get there, we rush inside and Kyoya explains the situation. The nurses immediately rushes and calls for the doctors. A few doctors come rushing and put him a bed. I try to follow, but someone holds me back. I try to pry them off me to go after him, screaming to let go, but they have a strong grip. I eventually give up and watch until they disappear around the corner. The person who held me back grabs my hand and motions me somewhere. I zone out, so I don't even notice when we get into a waiting room and they let me sit down. I look up to see everyone frowning at me.
