The Missing Piece Chapter 15
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

When Kyoya wakes up the next morning he finds himself staring at a wall in a hospital room and his hand was clasped in another's. It only takes a second for him to remember what had happened the day before when he gets up and sees Haruhi's sleeping form in the usual white hospital bed. Getting up to stretch, he takes a look at the clock hanging from the wall at the other end of the room. '8:00, so I still have about a half an hour to get ready for school.' He yawns, 'today is going to be hell I know it.' He thinks knowing that as soon as he gets to school that he was going to be bombarded with questions from not only the host club, but some of the other students as well. 'I suppose I could have told them more than I did, but I didn't want them all trying to rush over here and bothering her.' Taking out his cell phone he calls Tachibana to come and pick him up.

"Kyoya-?" he hears Haruhi call out weakly.

"Haruhi I'm right here, but you need your rest." He says going back over to the bed and glad to see that a lot of color was returning to her face.

"I just wanted to wish you luck in school today. I'm sorry I can't be more help to you." She tells him

"As if I want you to be of any more help." He sighs "Haruhi you've already saved my brother's life. The least I can do is cover that up for you."

"You only have to cover it up because I'm not supposed to know your brother." She smiles "By the way how did you and your father change the story so quickly for the news last night?"

"Haruhi, as I have told you in the past. When you are rich you can pretty much do whatever you want." He smirks remembering the news story last night about the stabbing.

Flashback

Kyoya had finally gotten Haruhi to take all of her pills and even managed to get a small amount of soup in her system when Akito walked in wearing his normal clothing and muttering about stupid businessmen and their stupid ideas.

"How's it going Haruhi-san?" he asks moving over to the other side of the bed.

"Not bad, Kyoya's been trying to force food down my throat, but overall not too bad of an afternoon." She smiles "I'm only kidding." She laughs, as she catches the demon face on Kyoya.

"Oh yeah, the story should be on the news any minute Kyoya it's almost ten. Father called and told me he had it changed when he was interviewed earlier." Akito tells him

"Good that should make things a lot easier." Kyoya nods

"I still don't think lying is the way to go about this." Haruhi argues

"We're simply changing the story a bit." Kyoya assures her "Bottom line is you still got stabbed, the man who did it is in custody, and you saved one of us."

"And what if that man tells everybody it was Akito-san he was after?"

"The Ootori family police have him, he'll be lucky if he's able to talk to anyone in the next twelve years." Akito laughs

"...All right Kyoya will you turn on the TV? We may as well see what our 'fake' story is." She sighs, as he finds the remote and turns on the television in the room.

"Panic today at the Ootori medical hospital in Tokyo, when a young man was stabbed by a deranged man, whose wife and daughter died early this morning." The announcer started with a clip of the hospital. "The young man has been identified as Haruhi Fujioka, who was stabbed protecting the youngest son of the hospital's owner Yoshio Ootori. His son Kyoya Ootori is just fine, but young Mr. Fujioka is faced with serious damage on the left side of his body. We are assured that Fujioka is currently stable and is not in any immediate danger. Our sources tell us that the young Mr. Fujioka and Mr. Ootori were heading down to his Brother Akito Ootori's office for some medication for Mr. Fujioka, who was sick even before being stabbed, when Mr. Takaya the deranged man ran out of Akito Ootori's office and was angry at being told there was nothing that could have been done for his wife and daughter. Mr. Takaya, realizing that young Kyoya Ootori was related to Akito Ootori pulled out a knife no one, but Mr. Fujioka saw until the last minute. Pushing Mr. Ootori out of the way Mr. Fujioka was in the direct path of the knife and was stabbed." The reporter continues, "Yoshio Ootori had this to say to one of our reporters earlier this afternoon, after being caught leaving the hospital for a business meeting, 'I am very grateful to Mr. Fujioka for saving my son and will do all I can to make sure that he leaves the hospital safely.' His two older sons Yuuichi Ootori and Akito Ootori were also caught leaving the hospital to follow their father, but refused to say anything. Akito Ootori however, has been seen entering the hospital again not twenty minutes ago. Kyoya Ootori is thought of to still be in the hospital and most likely will not leave all night."
