I hope you enjoy this chapter

Flashbacks are in Italics.

"You did well in your practice test Haruhi." Kyoya said handing her the test so she could see the grade. "It seems my hard work is not in vain. I should reward you."

"Thanks Kyoya-sempai." Haruhi said coldly. "But I don't want you to add more to my debt."

The Shadow King smirked at the refusal. "Is that all you think about?" Kyoya asked finding it amusing. All he could think about in that moment was the challenge Haruhi presented for him. They were currently in his room and the Shadow King intended to use all means necessary to win the girls heart. For himself and for the merit of the family. If someone got in the way, they would pay for it.

"As a matter of fact, yes I do." Haruhi said. "If it wasn't for you and that stupid debt, my life would be easier." She started to pack up her things when Kyoya grabbed her wrist. She stopped and looked at him with a frown

"You are getting angry Haruhi." Kyoya stated.

"Of course I'm not sempai." Haruhi said quite annoyed and freed her hand from Kyoya's grasp.

It was currently lunch time and Haruhi decided to stay in the classroom eating her bento box. She was still remembering what happened between her and the Shadow King the day before. Hikaru and Kaoru decided to stay with her. Ever since they rescued her form Kyoya's house, she had been spacing more often and was less talkative than before.

"Haruhi." Hikaru said, making Haruhi snap back to reality. "Are you okay?" He asked concerned for his friend. "You have been spacing out since we rescued you from Kyoya-sempai's house.

"I'm okay." Haruhi said lying. "I'm just thinking of the specials coming up at the supermarket. Today they have good prices for the chicken."

"I went this morning with Hikaru to the supermarket and it was closed till tomorrow." Kaoru lied to see if Haruhi would give a reaction.

"Oh, really." Haruhi said faking a laugh. "It seems I was misinformed. I guess I'll go some other day." Haruhi stood up from her desk chair and left the classroom.

"She is really odd Kaoru." Hikaru said to his older brother. "Do you think she will ever open up about that happened?"

"I don't know." Kaoru answered sincerely. "I just hope it doesn't affect the friendship between the host club."

Haruhi left the classroom wanting to avoid the twins' questions. She was still recovering from it and didn't want to be bothered for the time being. She walked through the halls of Ouran High School and decided to visit the bathroom. She would normally use the girls' bathroom but ever since she entered the Host Club, (was forced to), the hosts, especially the Shadow King, made her use the males bathroom as part of concealing her identity as a female. She stopped walking and stood in front of the males' bathroom, she took a deep breath and entered. After Haruhi did her business in the bathroom, she walked again through the corridor. Instead of heading to the classroom, she went another way. While she was walking, an abandoned classroom caught her attention. By curiosity, she entered the room and saw the person she least wanted to see.

"Long time no see Haruhi." The Shadow King said with a smirk plastered in his face.

Sorry for the late update. I had the combination of writers block, other fanfics and starting university. I will not be able to post as often as before but I will do my best to make time for everything.
