Haruhi's Sister

Chapter 8: Apologies

Kyoya left while I was in the shower and I had the sneaking suspicion that he was annoyed with me. I felt horrible for worrying him and haru and was already beating myself up about it in my head. Once I was done scrubbing myself until it was physically painful to anymore I got out and dried off with a fresh towel. I slipped on my bunny onesie and went to lay down, I didn't know if Haruhi was asleep but I wanted to apologize again.

I quietly said "haru... I really am sorry. I know I worried you, so much so that you called kyoya. I didn't realize the time and I was too focused on dragging dad home. Though that's no excuse, I should have paid more attention or maybe called a taxi and asked the bouncer to help. I-i" a small sigh rang out and haru interrupted me as she said "shin I forgive you, there's no changing what happened now. I'm not angry or upset with you I was just worried. If you want to make it up to me turn up the ringer on your phone and make sure to answer my calls next time. Alright? I promise it's not the end of the world." i relaxed a bit at her reassurance, at least now I knew she didn't hate me.

I waited a bit until I heard haru's soft even breathing before I silently crawled out of bed. the guilt was still eating me alive so I snuck outside. I hesitantly sat on the stairs and called kyoya's number. After two rings it went to voicemail which made my heart squeeze with guilt even more. He was obviously upset with me for worrying haru and wasting his time. I took a deep breath before starting the message as my whiny, worried and guilty voice rang out "listen kyoya, I'm really sorry I wasted your time today and made you and haru worry. I just I didn't think enough tonight, I should have found a better way to get my father home rather then walking and I should have remembered to check the time more often and have my ringer turned up. I made a lot of mistakes tonight and I can't promise I won't make them again but I'll do my best not to. I just, I understand how horrible it is to worry, I worry about haru all the time and I worry about papa just as much. I even started to worry about you and if you're getting enough sleep or if you're too stressed out. I worry about honey and mori and the clients and I just, I understand how horrible it must have been for you and haru. So I'm really sorry I made you worry tonight and I think you ignored my call but I hope you're sleeping because you really need it and if you're not then your hypotension is gonna be even worse in the morning. Goodnight kyoya and I'm really sorry again."

I quickly ended the voice mail before I could continue to ramble on and embarrass myself more then I already had. I sat outside enjoying the cool night air for a minute to try and get the blush that had formed on my face to go away. Just as I was about to go inside my phone dinged signaling I had a text. I opened it only to see it was kyoya and my blush came back full force as I read it "shin i forgive you, you did in fact worry your sister and I but it's nothing as drastic as you seem to think. Take some deep breaths and go to sleep. It's late and you need your rest, I will also take your advice and go to sleep as well. I'm honored you think enough of me to worry about me but I can assure you I am perfectly healthy. Goodnight shin, get some rest." I smiled at the simple text and got up as my mind was momentarily calmed. I went inside and went to sleep quicker then usual feeling happy now that I knew kyoya wasn't upset with me.

The next day after school I went straight to the host club and began cleaning again as fast and efficiently as I could. I felt I needed to make up for inconvenienceing kyoya so much so I wanted to make the room sparkle. Luckily my school got out earlier then their school did so by the time kyoya and tamaki walked in the room looked even cleaner then it had the day before. The windows were so clean you could barely even tell there were windows there, the floors were scrubbed so diligently you could see your reflection in them and the couches and tables looked brand new. My darling fox stuffy, sunny, sat at the table kyoya usually occupied waiting for me to finish.

I was scrubbing the last section of the floor right in front of the entrance to the room on my hands and knees as the two opened the door which seemed to surprise tamaki. The first thing I saw when the doors opened were tamaki's muddy shoes which caused me to glare up at him angrily and say "if you take one step into this room in those muddy shoes I will end your bloodline." he shrunk away and muttered something about seeing a devil. I ignored him and smiled at kyoya saying "I was just finishing cleaning the room Mr, ootori. Don't mind me, all the desserts are prepped to be served and I've already started on a new batch for tomorrow."

he nodded as he stepped into the room, I couldn't help noticing how he just slightly hesitated before stepping threw the threshold. His attention was not on me but instead on the sparkling room as he said "thank you miss fugioka, the club room is even more clean then it was yesterday, I'm sure the guests will be very pleased. though you don't have to prepare anything for tomorrow, we are taking a day off to go to a resort my family owns." a chill ran down my spine at the news... A resort? A sespool of human bacteria? I wouldn't allow it. I couldn't allow it!

I stood up quickly and said "I won't allow it! Resorts are a breeding ground for bacteria! The amount of dead skin and bodily fluids that will be in the water is enough to make me feel sick just thinking about it. Not to mention how many disgusting people have no regard for hygiene and simply pee in the pool instead of getting out and using the restroom like they should! I can't allow any of the club members to go, much less you, Haruhi, mori or honey! It's unthinkable! What happens if you get an infection or catch some kind of disease!? I won't allow it!" I knew I was getting slightly hysterical the more I spoke since my voice went higher with every word I said and tears started to bud in my eyes halfway threw my speech.

My breath began to come out in short pants the more panicked I got at the thought. I couldn't even focus on kyoya as I began to have a panick attack, my legs gave out under me and I fell to the floor, clutching my pounding chest as I tried to get a full breath in but it felt impossible. I vaguely registered the sound of haruhi's voice behind me and then hands on my shoulders, foreign and unfamiliar and all that I could think about was how dirty they were. I shrunk away and grasped my head as the panick took over and I mumbled "don't. touch. me. don't. touch. me. Don't. Touch. Me."

Gasps punctuated my words as I tried to breathe but it felt like I couldn't. I wasn't even sure how I'd managed to speak. All I could think about was the germs I was covered in, the germs everything was covered in. My vision started to go dark and fuzzy around the edges as I couldn't calm down, a moment later and I was out like a light.

(A/N sorry it's been so long guys)
