Bitter 1: Haruhi's Bitter Days
Chapters 17: Brotherly Love

It felt like a weight had been lifted off of Haruhi's shoulders as she made her way through the rest of the school day. She was afraid of losing all of her friends and facing life without their antics isn't something she wanted to look forward to. She had psyched herself up and had been prepared to do just that when her friends in a last moment of, well whatever it was, decided to accept her relationship with Mori. It had never been a question of who she would choose because she knew that in a contest between the hosts and her boyfriend, she would have chosen Mori every time.

Making her way once again to the music room, she was about to open the door when she was intercepted and dragged away from the club room. She tried to scream, but it was no use since a hand was covering her mouth preventing nothing more than muffled sounds to burst forth. Taking a deep breath, she glanced at her captors and glared. Hikaru and Kaoru each had possession of one of her arms and was dragging her to God only knew where. Hikaru was the one covering her mouth and she decided she would try to escape by biting his finger. It didn't work; she couldn't quite get a grasp of anything with her teeth.

"Uh uh uh, Haruhi. No biting," Hikaru chortled looking at her before facing front again.

"Yah, Haruhi, this is for your own good," Kaoru grinned.

The twins were up to something and Haruhi could not fathom what it could be. She only knew that she was in some sort of trouble and when she could, she would make sure the twins felt her wrath. "What is going on here? I thought they supported my decision to be with Takashi. I am going to kill them!" She fumed internally.

"Do you have the blindfold?" Kaoru asked looking at his brother.

"Right here," Hikaru said and soon Haruhi's world was black.

It felt like someone was picking her up and carrying her, but Haruhi could not figure out who it was or where they were going. She felt her captor(s) take some turns, but she didn't know where they were headed since Ouran could be a maze of halls and she was still learning the campus. Deciding to bide her time and then strike, she waited and waited and waited until they finally put her down. When the blindfold was removed, she looked around. They were in the gardens and it looked like a garden party was about to start. Turning around, she faced her kidnappers and found the twins and Tamaki. The third demon was making an appearance. "What the hell is this?" She seethed.

All three yelped and the twins tried to hide behind their "fearless" leader. Tamaki decided that it was his job to explain everything, "Now Haruhi, daddy was just making sure you made it to our host club party without getting lost. I didn't want mommy to be mad at you for being late."

"So you grab me, blindfold me, and drag me against my will in order to make it to the host club on time?" Haruhi raged. She was getting more irritated by the moment. Suddenly she felt a pair of hands land on her shoulders and immediately calmed down. She knew those hands and found herself taking a deep breath before continuing, "Whatever. I don't know why you couldn't just tell me that the host club was not meeting in the music room today and I sure as hell don't know why you had to drag me here the way you did."

The three hosts were amazed at the abrupt change in Haruhi as soon as Mori touched her. The third demon's aura had been encompassing her and they all thought for sure that they were about to take their last breaths. When Mori placed his hands on her shoulders, they could tell she was still mad but the demon aura had receded and they knew they were safe.

Hikaru and Kaoru looked at each other and then back to their friend. If they needed further proof about who she was supposed to be with, they just received it. It seemed that not only could Mori handle Hunny at his worst, he was able to pacify Haruhi with just a touch when she was at her worst. Staring wide eyed at their friend, they both said, "Sorry, but we were told to bring you here and not tell you the location."
