The Missing Piece
Chapter 10

'Damn, why the hell did I just walk out it's not like I don't know that she likes to think about her answer before opening her mouth.' Kyoya wonders angrily wandering out to the courtyard while waiting for his car. 'I know her better than that by now; she was trying to think of a good answer that would allow me to trust her completely.' Looking up at the sky he sees dark clouds beginning to form in the distance. 'I hope those go away, Haruhi doesn't need to deal with a storm tonight,' he sighs as a different car pulls up to the school. '...that's Hunny-sempai's car... shit, how did I not notice he was still in the clubroom? Well if he did hear anything Haruhi will come up with something, she's becoming as good as I am when it comes to telling a fake story.' His car then chooses that moment to show up, 'I'm sorry Haruhi, but it would only make things worse if I went back up there. I'll call you later, I promise.' He makes a mental note, before getting into his car and heading home.

'Damn it,' Haruhi thinks staring at Hunny, who had just walked out of the supply room. "Hunny-sempai how, how much did you just hear?" she asks nervously.

"Fine do what you want Haruhi, a door slam, and you muttering something about loving Kyo-chan." He answers walking up to her.

'Thank god that was all,' she thinks, knowing how much easier it would be to come up with something if that was all he heard out of the conversation.

"Is it true Haru-chan, do you love Kyo-chan?" he asks.

"Y, yes Sempai," she sighs knowing there was no point in lying about that if he already heard her admit it. "But he doesn't know, and I don't plan on telling him anytime soon."

"What, but why?"

"Hunny-sempai, the fact I'm in love with the Shadow King of the host club, the coldest one of all of you is just...odd and too unreal isn't it?" she asks.

"Not really, Kyo-chan may be cold and calculating, but even I've come to realize he's the most sane and the voice of reason in our club. If you are in love with him Haru-chan then I support you." He tells her hugging her tightly.

"Thank you Sempai, truly." She smiles hugging the small boy back, wondering if he realizes how much he just said.

"So, how long have you actually been in love with him?" he asks curiously pulling back and staring at her.

"...since we all went to his beach house in Okinawa." She admits looking away and feeling a small blush creeping onto her face, as she remembers the bedroom incident and watching his eyes grow as big as saucers.

"Wow, you've kept it hidden for a really long time, so what were you two fighting about earlier that finally made you admit it?" he asks.

"Please don't tell the others Sempai, but apparently my debt has been paid off." She admits now trying to think of a good reason about why Kyoya said what he did and walked out.

"Haru-chan that's great, but why is Kyo-chan so angry about that?" he asks, as she gets an idea.

"When I told him I still wanted to stay in the host club he asked me why and being the impatient man he is I must have taken too long to answer him. He then told me to do what I wanted and walked out of the room." She lies shocked again about how good she's gotten at lying to people.

"You want to stay in the club to stay close to him." Hunny realizes.

"Yes, I just hope he won't be mad at me when I come back in here tomorrow."

"I'm sure he won't be Haru-chan, after all you staying in the club means more money for the club right?" he laughs "I promise I won't tell anyone anything you told me, but I may accidently let it slip to Takashi."
