So, I have also started this story. As you guys know, I am a fan of KyoHaru fics. So enjoy! Tell me what you think! I hope the characters aren't OOC!

Me: Okay, Honey, you do it!

Honey: B-but I didn't get any cake yet!

Haruhi: I don't think it's fair for Honey-senpai.

Tamaki: I agree with dearest daughter!

Haruhi: You're not my father senpai!

Mori: Uhn

Me: What do you mean it's not fair! You just have to say like, nine words! Come on!

Chapter 1: What To Do

"So, what brings you here mon ami?" a certain blonde king leaned back in his chair and he observed his onyx-eyed best friend.

"What makes you think I came here for a reason? Don't I have the right to visit on my own will at times?" the man pushes his glasses up. They were glinted, so the purple-eyed idiot king couldn't see his expression, much to his frustration.

"You usually never pick up my phone calls and ignore me most of the time, so of course I would suspect something," Tamaki Souh, aged 22, spoke.

"I would like to discuss something with you, regarding the former 'natural rookie'." Kyoya Ootori spoke in a business-like tone.

Tamaki leaned foward. This was serious. Kyoya Ootori, the heartless man/demon lord/shadow king/mother coming here personally…to talk about Haruhi? Something was up. He blinked. Once. Twice. "You mean…Haruhi?"

"Yes, who else could it be?" Kyoya looked at his watch. Tamaki wouldn't be able to keep up with his seriousness act any longer.

3…

2….

1….

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Tamaki shrieked, causing his secretary to wince in fear. The idiot king hadn't changed, not one bit in two and a half years. "WHAT DOES OKAA-SAN WANT WITH MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER? OH, I MUST PROTECT HER INNOCENCE!" He stood up.

"Tamaki," Kyoya started with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "We are no longer in the host club, therefore, there is no reason for you to refer to Haruhi as you daughter."

Tamaki, after a minute of thinking, sat back down. "B-but…"

"Tamaki, we are twenty-two years old." Kyoya tried to stop himself from yelling at Tamaki. "Get rid of this nonsense, and open your eyes for once."

"W-what do you mean?" Tamaki, as usual, could be blind sometimes.

Kyoya took of his glasses and sighed. "Tamaki, what do you feel for Haruhi?"

"Well, I love her and as her father I only want the best for her!" Tamaki drifted of into one of his perverted fantasies.

"She is not your daughter. She never will be. And yet you continue to think that the love you feel for her is fatherly love. For once, could you stop convincing yourself that it is and moving away from the truth?"

Tamaki shut his mouth for a moment, and but spoke. "What else could it be? I care about her, and only want the best for her Kyoya! I'm her father!"

"Exactly my point. You love her, but you refuse to admit that you do, and cover it up ad your crazy and ridiculous father-daughter love."

Before, Tamaki would've gone to his corner of gloom taking Kyoya's explanations as an insult, but now, he was speechless.

"So, now I want to hear from you the truth. Do you love Haruhi?"

"Do you love Haruhi?" these words rang in Tamaki's mind. Do I love her? Do I?

It was true, he had loved Haruhi since a while back. It started when she first dressed up as a girl when her boy uniform had gotten soaked, due to one of the customers. The others had known she was a girl, and Tamaki was the last to find out.

He was amazed that this girl had not swooned and cried KYAAAAAA and melted with there hosting. He was amazed at how she was less concerned about gender and more concerned about he person on the inside.

He loved her. He loved her bluntness, her kindness for everyone, her natural smile, the way she looked up at people with her big brown eyes full of mystery, everything. Of course he loved her.

So he kept it a secret. He didn't know what the others would say if he confessed, and he was afraid that everything he had tries so hard to put together would break apart. For that reason, he loved and cared for Haruhi, covering it up at 'fatherly love'. He kept running from the truth, not wanting to admit to anyone that he loved this commoner. His own made up family would protect him in his own way. Tamaki, the father, Kyoya as the mother, Haruhi as they're beloved daughter, Hiakru and Kaoru as the troublesome twins, and Mori and Honey as the neighbors.

He showed his love in his own way. Like when he found out Haruhi was afraid of thunder, he had promised her that he would always be there.

And when he had jumped off a bridge to save her when that girl Éclair let him go.

His feeling for Haruhi got stronger, but then he noticed that everyone wanted her. She was the base of the host club, bounding them together.

Mori saw her as a little sister, and she was the only other person (other than Honey) that he vowed to protect. Honey saw her as a big sister he could rely on. She was the first person to break into Hikaru and Kaoru's world and tell them apart. She was the one to understand that Kyoya was not a cruel heartless demon who only cared for money, but someone with emotions just like any other human beings. She intrigued them all. Everyone cared for her, whether they showed it or not. But the care and friendship became something more.

Tamaki wanted to confess, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Everyone needed her, and he was going to just go and claim her for himself? No, Tamaki Souh does not do that.

Why?

Because it would hurt Hikaru and Kaoru.

It would hurt Kyoya.

It would hurt Honey and Mori.

And most of all, it would hurt himself. It would make him guilty that he broke apart their family, and it would hurt for the rest of his life.

Tamaki didn't want to. He treasured his faux family so much since his own family wasn't complete. Without them, he would break.

He, as king, felt a need to protect everyone.

Answering this question Kyoya asked would determine everything. He couldn't bring himself to do it.

So he sacrificed the one thing that mattered to him the most.

"No."

"No! I'm not your toy to be dragged around everywhere!" Haruhi Fujioka, age 21, third year in law school said.

"Haruhi~~!" two voices said in unison. "Please come with us! You have to!" Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, identical twins, had crashed at Haruhi's apartment, and they were apparently begging her to come with them to the commoner's amusement park.

"No way in hell!"

"Please?" they begged again.

Haruhi was ready to slam the door shut in their faces when her Senpai looked at her was pleading eyes.

"Please Haru-chan?" Mitsukuni Haninozuka "Honey" asked with the same surgery voice he had years ago. He was now taller than Haruhi, having hit puberty, and didn't carry his bunny Usa-chan around anymore but he still had the same cute face and the impossible love for cake.

"Please." Takashi Morinozuka, cousin of Honey, was still the tallest out of all of them. His face still stood expressionless.

Haruhi could do anything but say 'no' to Honey so she sighed. "Alright, Honey-senpai. Just let me get changed! No way am I going there in these clothes!" she looked at herself. She was still wearing her pajamas.

She motioned the four to come inside. Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey stepped in, with Mori in tow.

After refusing help from the twins to get changed, Haruhi went into her bedroom.

Even after high school, the host club refused to disband so Haruhi ended up going to Ouran University, despite her begs and pleads. She didn't think that this would happen, but her 'friends' ended p paying for her tuition throughout college and such. Ranka was delighted that his only daughter was going to get a good education, but for Haruhi, she ended up in something equivalent to hell. But at least she started going to school as a girl and didn't have to pamper girls anymore.

So she saw the host club every day just like high school, and they always showed up on her doorstep at odd moments. Nothing had changed much since high school…or so she thought.

Their actions didn't change, but their feelings did. Haruhi was intelligent, but was oblivious to love and feelings.

She didn't have a clue that she had so much more of an impact on each club member than she thought.

Brushing her thoughts away, she quickly changed in a purple t-shirt and denim jeans. Her tom-boyish clothing choices had slowly gone away, but she still refused most girly clothes. Her hair had grown a bit longer, until her shoulder, which was due to Ranka's constant begging.

Talking about Ranka, he at the moment was at his boyfriend's house so that left Haruhi alone for the day. She had planned to do studying, but of course, the host club interrupted. Not exactly the host club though, Kyoya and Tamaki (unusually) didn't come, much to Haruhi's surprise. But she was glad they weren't there. Kyoya would just be in a bad mood, since he never woke up before 10, and Tamaki was plain annoying.

RING RING

Tamaki's phone rang as flipped a page in his book. "Who could be calling me at this time?" he said, glancing at the digital clock on his desk. 9:00 am it read. He guessed it was probably the twins, since only they were dumb enough to call someone at 9 am on a Sunday.

With a flick of his finger, he flipped open his cell phone. "What do you need, you devil some twins?"

"Hehehe" two evil voices flowed over to the other end. "Just to let you know, we're at Haruhi's house right now…"

Tamaki jumped up. "WHAT? What are you two planning to do with my daughter…are you trying to ruin her innocence?"

"Actually, we can't really do anything since Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai are here"

A flood of relief washed over Tamaki. "But…why are you there?"

"We're going to a commoner's amusement park! And your not coming!"

"NO! Daddy's coming!"

"Fine, but if you do, you're the one who has to bring the demon lord….no way are we going to get him…."

"Kyoya?" Tamaki remembered the events that happened previous day. "Alright…I will…" he said solemnly, leaving the twins to wonder what in the world happened to his usual rants.

"Okay, let's go." Haruhi stepped out of her bedroom just as the twins hung up on Tamaki.

"HAI!" They all bounced up (except for Mori of course) and hugged Haruhi crying about how beautiful she looked and all that.

"Where's Tamaki-senpai? I'm sure wouldn't miss out on this. In fact, I would've though that this whole thing was his idea."

Kaoru and Hkaru stole glances at each other. "Actually, he was going to come, but when we called him last night to finalize the plan, he seemed down, and didn't even remember anything. Something must've happened. But he's coming now!"

"Poor Tama-chan!" Honey shook his head in despair. "He never forgets things like this!"

"Uhn." Mori agreed.

"Oh…" Haruhi felt relieved. Wait, did I just express concern for that babbling idiot?

"Anyway, he should be here soon…" Honey said excitedly. The idea of commonor things made everyone excited except Haruhi.

About ten minutes later, the front door burst open (Haruhi had left it unlocked) revealing a very happy Tamaki and a very unhappy Kyoya.

"AHH! It's the demon lord!" the twins huddled together in fear as murderous aroma surrounded Kyoya.

"I assume that it was the twins who set you up to this." Kyoya looked at Tamaki who shuddered in hear. Honey hid behind Mori.

Seemingly, only Haruhi and Mori remained unaffected by his glares.

The twins cut the silence and shuddering. "Come on, let's go!"Hikaru and Kaoru dragged Haruhi to their limo while Mori and Honey went into theirs.

Tamaki was about to follow when Kyoya stopped him. The air surrounding them could've frozen anyone who got with a ten meter radius from them.

"What do you need from me, Kyoya?"

"I just want to warn you. No matter what happens, keeping Haruhi safe is first priority for you." Kyoya pushed his glasses up.

"What do you mean?" Confusion was painted on Tamaki's face.

"Once you lose your most precious thing, in this case, Haruhi, you won't ever get her back."

A bulb lit up in Tamaki's head. His eyes widened and his lips thinned into a straight line. His blonde hair flowed with the wind. Kyoya looked amused for a moment but regained his mask. "Y-you don't mean…"

"Exactly. Though I have nothing much to do with it, it seems like our fathers have a bet going on. And with the Hitachiin twins and the cousins, this isn't going to be the best time to lie about your feelings."

"I don't care. Haruhi will never feel the same way about me, but no matter what happens, I'm not going to let her be forced into something she doesn't want."

"Fine, then. If that's what you think is best. Now all you have to do is see how things play out with Hikaru, Kaoru, Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai. You're not the only one." With that, Kyoya stepped into his limo.

"No…way…" Tamaki couldn't believe it. His senpai's had feelings too for Haruhi? And so did the twins? How could he not notice it? And his father? What was he thinking by trying to make Haruhi a pawn in this game?

He had to save her, quick before anyone else could.

Okay, so that was the first chapter. I'll reveal what's happening…later. Next chapter will be the first confession…of who? Hikaru? Tamaki? Kaoru? Honey? Maybe Mori, but I doubt it since Honey comes first for him and if Honey likes Haruhi, then he wants to support it. And why did Kyoya want to know if Tamaki loves Haruhi or not? And why did Tamaki lie? And who really loves Haruhi, and who's playing along? Anyway, review! also, i'm not posting the next chapter until my quota is met.
