The Missing Piece
Chapter 5

The rest of the week went by far too quickly for Kyoya and Haruhi and when Thursday finally came around Kyoya, Haruhi noticed was behaving even colder than usual. The rest of the host club noticed this as well and avoided their shadow king like the plague. Tamaki however decided to confront his best friend after school in the clubroom, during the club's meeting. "Kyoya my friend what seems to be troubling you? I've never seen you act this way, at least not at school." The rest of the club stopped what they were doing too shocked to believe that anyone would dare ask what was bothering their coldest friend.

"If you noticed I was in a bad mood, why tell me would you dare bring it up to me?" Kyoya answers coldly not even looking up from his laptop, he continued to type vigorously as Tamaki once again sulks over in his corner of woe.

"Kyo-chan it's not good to bottle up your anger like this." Hunny says from the other side of the table, while continuing to eat cake with Mori.

"I'm not bottling anything up Hunny-sempai I'm simply...conflicted with something and I'm not sure what to do about it quite yet." Kyoya admits trying to stay calm and keeping up his "cold" act behind his glasses. 'Though I am running out of time,' He thinks.

"Our shadow king-"Kaoru says grinning

"Is conflicted-"Hikaru continues

"At what to do about something?" they finish together.

"Will the two of you kindly shut up?" He snaps causing the two of them to flinch, as he turns to Haruhi "Oh and I need to speak to you after the club is finished."

"Damn it sempai what did I do now?" she asks faking the anger in her voice.

"Don't question me Haruhi; I simply need to talk to you, nothing more." He growls

She pretends to sigh in frustration as Tamaki crawls back over to the table finally. "Mother you shouldn't scare our daughter like that, I'm sure she didn't mean to do whatever you say she did."

"Tamaki when are you going to stop with this silly mother-daughter, father-daughter crap already? Open your eyes Haruhi is not your daughter, nor is she mine." Kyoya snaps closing his laptop and walking over to the supply room, slamming the door behind him. Leaving five pairs of shocked eyes to wonder what on earth pissed their shadow king off.

Haruhi the only one who knew what was bothering him sighed then turned to the others hoping they wouldn't figure out it had something to do with her, since they both agreed letting their friends know would have to be planned out carefully. "Kyo-chan's scaring me I wonder what's wrong with him." Hunny pouts tears coming to the boy-Lolita's eyes, as Mori gives him more cake.

"Maybe the low-blood-pressure-demon-lord still isn't fully awake yet?" the twins suggest

"No I've seen Kyoya at his worst when he wakes up, this is something else completely." Tamaki says.

"You've only see him at his worst because you're the only one who dares to wake him up early." The twins smirk.

"You know he might just be stressed." Haruhi mumbles under her breath catching Mori's eyes he gives her a small nod, as if agreeing with her. "Look I'll try talking to him he wants to see me anyways, why don't you all go home?" she suggests getting up from her seat.

"Haruhi don't give yourself up as a sacrifice." The twins cry grabbing her arms.

"I'll be fine, Kyoya sempai wouldn't kill me, besides wasn't he the one who told us murders couldn't be covered up?" she says smiling at the two.

"Haruhi are you sure? You know mother just said those awful things to us because she was angry, father knows that so he didn't take it to heart, and neither should you." Tamaki tells her.
