At the ski hut, things were starting to get serious. Kyouya had checked with the maintenance workers why the snow kept on getting heavier and discovered there was a problem with the machines. He sighed quietly and went back to the other Host Club members to tell them the news. The others were wrapped up in warm clothes in the ski hut at the bottom of the slopes.

"I'm afraid I've got some bad news." Kyouya said as he entered the ski hut. "There's a problem with the snow machines, that's why the snow is just getting heavier. They are trying to turn them off but it looks like the only way to do that would be to completely reboot the systems, which would take almost an hour. Also, if we shut down the system we'll lose power for that hour. That means no light, the light in here is completely artificial. So if Hikaru and Haruhi are trying to make it down to us, we would be plunging them into complete blackness."

"Then what should we do?" Tamaki asked frantically. "I've got the maintance team trying to fix the problem without killing the power and there's a rescue team being organised as we speak. They will set out in groups to try and locate them." Kyouya sank into a chair. "I'm sure they'll be alright." Honey said trying to raise the spirits of the other boys. "Shouldn't we go out and look for them too?" Kaoru said as he looked out at the blizzard.

"None of us are familiar with the area, we'd only end up getting ourselves lost." Kyouya said heavily. "So all we can do is wait?" Kaoru said, a frown on his face. I really hope they're ok he thought to himself.

Hikaru and Haruhi had been in the ski hut for almost an hour, the blizzard was showing no sign of stopping. The two of them were sitting on the couch in a comfortable silence. Suddenly, a loud rumbling interrupted the silence. Haruhi lifted her head from Hikaru's shoulder and looked at him with a small smile. "Hungry?" she inquired. Hikaru turned red, "I'm fine." he mumbled. "Where are you going?" he asked as Haruhi stood up. "There's some instant ramen in the kitchen, I'll make some for us." Hikaru quickly jumped up, "I can do it. You should just rest." he said as he gently pushed her back into her seat.

"Hikaru, do you even know how make instant ramen?" Haruhi asked as Hikaru went to the kitchen. "I... Uummm...No." he admitted quietly sounding a little frustrated. Haruhi smiled, "Bring the ramen, pot, chopsticks and water." Hikaru collected the things are brought them through to Haruhi who quickly got the pot ready over the fire.

"Thank goodness you got stuck with me. I don't think any of the other Host Club members would be of any use at this sort of thing." Hikaru pouted, "It's not our fault we can't do stuff like this. We have people to do this type of thing for us." he mumbled.

"Rich people." Haruhi muttered under her breath, "OK, foods done. Let's take it off the fire. Carefully." she added as Hikaru took the pot away from the fire and put it in front of them. They quickly and quietly ate the ramen until nothing was left. Hikaru took the pot and chopsticks back to the kitchen then returned to the warm fire, and Haruhi's side.

Haruhi was curled up under her blanket but Hikaru noticed she was still shivering. He pulled off his sweatshirt, "What are you doing?" asked a startled Haruhi. "Here." he said as he held the sweatshirt out for her, "You're freezing. If you catch a cold I'll feel even more guilty than I already do, so just put it on, please?" Haruhi was startled by the word 'please' and took the sweatshirt, thankful for the extra layer.

Hikaru sat back on the couch and was surprised when Haruhi curled into his side and covered them both with her blanket. "You must be cold since you gave me your sweatshirt." he said quietly, her voice muffled by the warm sweatshirt.

Hikaru took a deep breath and wrapped his arm around Haruhi's shoulders, pulling her closer to him. "I'm ok." he whispered into her hair. After a while, with the heat from the fire and the heat from each other, they fell asleep on the couch.

"It's been almost two hours." Kaoru said as he paced in front of the window just as Kyouya's phone began to ring. He stepped out of the room to answer the call. He returned a few minutes later and smiled. "They've found the problem and it should be fixed within a few minutes. Then they can turn off the snow and raise the temperature to help melt some of the snow that's built up." The rest of the Host Club sighed in relief. "Look its already slowing down!" Tamaki said excitedly as he pointed to the window.

They all ran to the window and smiled at the barely falling snow. "We should go help look." Mori said as he helped Honey put on his bunny scarf. Within a few mintues, the host club were dressed in warm clothes and Kyouya had a map of the resort sent to all of their phones. "Since the snow has stopped it shouldn't interfere with the phone signal anymore, call if you find them." Honey and Mori went off with one group of the rescue team, while Kaoru, Tamaki and Kyouya went with another.

Inside the hut on the slopes, Hikaru and Haruhi had moved in their sleep. Hikaru was now lying along the couch, his long legs hanging off the end, with Haruhi curled up on his chest. Hikaru slowly woke up and used all of his self control not to leap to his feet in shock when he saw Haruhi curled up on top of him. "When the hell did this happen?" he wondered aloud. He shifted his position a little to look at Haruhi's sleeping face but the movement woke her up.

She sleepily looked around before noticing their current position, she started to sit up but Hikaru pulled her back down. "Don't move. Just five more minutes please." Hikaru mumbled into her hair and he held her tightly. Haruhi's face turned red and she tentatively wrapped her arms around Hikaru the best she could.

"You know something? I'm kinda glad we got stuck here." Haruhi said so quietly that Hikaru almost didn't hear. "Why?" he whispered back. Haruhi buried her head into his chest to hide her red face, "Because this is nice. Being here with you." Hikaru smiled and gently lifted Haruhi's face so she was looking right at him. "I'm glad too. Being here like this with you." Hikaru's face was now the same colour as Haruhi's as they both leaned closer.

Their lips just touched in the briefest of kisses when the hut door slammed open. Tamaki ran in yelling, "Haruhi~" and immediedtly stopped when he saw the two youths on the couch. "W-What...You...What..." he muttered as he pointed at the two who had quickly moved to opposite sides of the couch.

Kaoru smiled at the two. This wasn't exactly what I had in mind for today, but it will do he thought to himself. Kyouya called the other team to let them know they had located their missing people. "Well I think we should head back to the main ski hut don't you think boss?" Kaoru said with a big grin as he pushed a still mumbling Tamaki out of the door. Just before he closed the door he looked back to his brother and Haruhi, "Looks like you two had fun just like I said." he said with a wink before quickly closing the door as two cushions were thrown at him.
