The Missing Piece
Chapter 7

Summer break had come and gone, and before Haruhi knew it there was only a week left before the new semester was to start up again. So she had to wonder why instead of being at home on this cloudy Tuesday she was sitting in a café with Fuyumi having lunch. "Fuyumi, it's not that I don't like hanging out with you, but why today, and so suddenly?" she asks, thinking back to this morning when she got the woman's phone call.

Flashback

It was 8:00 in the morning when Haruhi suddenly heard her phone go off on the desk. 'Whoever is calling is lucky I'm such an early riser' she thinks knowing the caller wouldn't be Kyoya. 'I swear if it's Tamaki-sempai, or the twins I'm hanging up.' Picking up her phone she sees it's from an unknown number. "Hello?" she asks curiously.

"Haruhi, I know it's sudden, but do you mind if we go out to lunch today?" she hears Fuyumi on the other line. "It can be anywhere you want, my treat of course. Please I really need to talk to someone today."

"Of course I'll go to lunch with you today Fuyumi, but how did you get my number?" she asks startled, and knowing better than to refuse an Ootori, even if Fuyumi was married out of the family.

"Yay, I'll pick you up at 12:00 then. Oh and I got your number from Kyoya, don't ask how, but Kyoya can never refuse me anything when I ask." She tells her.

'I bet not' Haruhi laughs inwardly "Okay I will see you at 12:00 then Fuyumi-bye"

"Bye" she hears before the phone went dead.

'I wonder if something's wrong, she seemed a bit too desperate' Haruhi thinks, and then began trying to find something to wear for her lunch with Kyoya's sister.

"I'm sorry about this Haruhi, it's just my husband's leaving on a six month business trip later tonight, and I guess I just needed to get away." She sighed staring down at her tea cup.

"Needed to get away? Wouldn't you rather want to spend today with him before he leaves?" Haruhi asks confused.

"This is a lovely little café Haruhi, what made you pick this place?" Fuyumi asks changing the subject.

'She isn't going to get out of answering me forever' Haruhi thinks "Kyoya took me here for our first date. It's rather comfortable don't you think?" she asks looking around memories of her first date coming back.

"Really, so you two actually risked going out on dates and such?" she asked

"Well it's not like anyone would expect Kyoya to be in a place like this, it really wasn't too hard. Besides most of our dates consist of us walking around together in the local parks around my place." She laughs

"You truly love my brother don't you?" Fuyumi says more as a statement then a question.

"Yes, Fuyumi I do. I don't plan on leaving him anytime soon; honestly I don't think I could live without him for long." Haruhi admits drinking her tea.

Fuyumi could do nothing but stare at the young woman in front of her, who admitted to loving her little brother with no hesitation. "So humor me Haruhi." She smiles mischievously reminding Haruhi to much of Kyoya's smile of the devil. "How far have you two actually gone? Have you slept with him yet?"

"We haven't had sex, but we've slept together multiple times." She answers bluntly. Fuyumi again amazed at the no hesitation in her voice as she answered.

"That's really hard to believe considering how...possessive Kyoya can be when he thinks something is his." She laughs

"Well believe it or not it's true, and for the record he doesn't have to think that. I already am his, just not in that way." Haruhi answers, "Now what brought that question on Fuyumi?"
