Chapter 4:

The very wet Haruhi crawled out of the water and saw the smile on the man she was in love's with face and knew she couldn't be mad at him. Instead she plastered on a smile herself and while his back was turned towards her, since he was facing the children, walked up and hugged him from behind drenching him. He laughed and circled around to hug her back, this startled her.

"I love you." He whispered in her ear once he pulled her short body up against his. The children were wet from jumping around in the water also. Haruhi smiled and said. "I love you to, Kyoya, also we are together and I hope it is not to caotic once the others find out." Looking around and seeing the kids she laughed. "Well, I think it is time to take a hike in the woods beside the house to get dried off what about you?"

Kyoya nodded and they yelled to the children. " Chiriko, Yuui lets go for an adventure in the woods, shall we?" The children were so excited that they bounded away with the two lovers close behind.

* * * *

The limo pulled up to the summer house about 15 minutes later. All of their friends proceeded to climb out of the limo, all looking dejected and worried. The quietness freaked them out. What if Kyoya would hurt Haruhi? All kept thinking this but kept coming up with the fact that it is indeed Kyoya and that action would not merit him. So there was no way that he could hurt her. Also if that was not a factor, the fact that he was in love with her was.

The host club walked up to the house and walked in. The front door was open. Interesting.

they all thought. They decided that they would not panic until later on.

"There is a good chance they just went out." said Tamaki, shocking everyone with his current levelheadedness. They all sullenly nodded and decided to walk further into the house. What they saw as they reviewed the rooms were shocking.

The living room had a kids movie playing quietly while toys were spread around on the floor. Walking into the kitchen lunch dishes were stacked neatly and ready for washing, Then walking out back they found ice tea and cookies outside on the table. What they all saw they would have to say:

"Wow! it looks like Haru-Chan, Kyo-Chan and their family lives here huh, Takashi?" Huni-senpai held Usa-chan slightly closer to him.

"Hm." was all the stoic senior said.

"Well, I hope sincerly.." the first twin, Hikaru stated.

"That this has worked out for the best." the second twin brother, Karou finished. They were sitting on the sofa pretending to watch the movie playing, and not looking worried. They knew it was just a matter of time until they came home. Right.

After about an hour the loving couple and the neice and nephew came walking up towards the house. They noticed that the limo was still infront of the house. Who was here? Their fist initial thoughts were his dad. But as they got closer that thought was replaced with two very different ones.

"Damn it, Why that idiot?" Kyoya thought as he disingaged his hand from Haruhi's. His other arm was wrapped tightly around his sleeping nephew, Chiriko. Hers were wrapped around the sleeping Yuui. Their perfect week is about to be ruined.

"Why did he release my hand?" Haruhi thought angrily. Until she saw the license place on the limo, her anger vanished into a very familiar feeling. Annoyance. The limo's license plate read:

"THE KING"

Anger quickly replaced the annoyance because she was not ready to go back to the real world again. She was happy to be with Kyoya alone with out the Host Club. She thought back to that, they were all quick to leave and she was really annoyed with them leaving her alone with him in the summer home with the two kids. Especially at the fact that it was Kyoya Otori. The one Shadow King host that was not really approachable. They were never really alone and the fact that they left pissed her off. Then guilt shot in to her. They all had problems that they had to deal with and she should be grateful that they came back. But, Damit they didn't even call when she called them and now Tamaki-Senpai came back at such an inconveinent moment.

Walking up to the front porch the two decided it would be best to go through the back and put the children in bed for their naps since they were clearly out of it. Walking around together on the wrap around porch they heard some quiet voices that got louder as they approached the back door that led in through the kitchen. Only did they stop once they heard what their friends were saying.

"They had to have realized this was a set up right?" Karou stated.

"Yeah, I mean it had to be really obvious that all of us could not have possibly." Hikaro was saying. They both finished the sentence with. " Been called away, right?" The others nodded their agreement.

The Host club had not realized that the two in question were standing a little from the doorway and could hear all of the happenings in the house. When Haruhi heard this she stopped dead in her tracks. Kyoya had not yet got close enough to hear what their friends were saying, all he could hear was mumblings. Curiousity turned to slight annoyance when he felt Haruhi stop and lean into his side. What had she heard that would cause her to have that reaction. Then he too could hear the conversation happening in his kitchen.

"Hopefully..Kyo-chan and Haru-chan has finally realized their love and are happy now. Even though we tricked them into the situation, we knew that they were perfectly already in love and perfect for eachother like icing on cake, right Takashi?" the small senior stated holding on to Usa-Chan and shoveling more cake into his ever open and ready mouth.

Hearing this Kyoya raised and eyebrow, he had heard enough, with Haruhi already leaning in on him he wrapped his free arm around her waist and half dragged her back to where they had just come from. Stopping only once in the entrance of the woods. Whispering to her a plan he had just thought of.

"Haruhi." he started pushing the sleeping form of his nephew farther up his shoulder and looked her in the eyes. Her large brown ones seeking comfort from his black ones. Wow, how he loved her. " Haruhi... I think that first I should say that I am sorry that they forced and tricked us into this. However, I do love you immensly and that I am glad they did it because I probably would have kept my mouth shut and then we would never be together." The silence from the small woman infront of him was unsettling. He thought she would be mad or betrayed about how her close friends, virtually her only friends, would do this to her. A smile streached across her features making her face light up, happily, shocking him for a moment.

"Knowing you Senpai, you have a plan to get slightly back at them and currently I am game. though I too am happy about our feelings being known to eachother I believe it is time to teach them a lesson."

They had not noticed that while they were talking to eachother, they had been inching closer to eachother. They were now almost touching with the two children still being held between them.

"I believe, my dearest Haruhi...That the tables are about to be turned and the pawns are about to call checkmate." Kyoya was smiling also, thinking how he will pay his friends back for this precious gift. They had given him Haruhi though each of them felt strongly about her. "Lets pretend that the plan back fired. We did not fall in love but just the opposite. Since we have never been left alone with each other, then it is safe to say, that our personalities were not compatible and we just fought the whole time." He pushed his glasses up farther. Having now came so close to Haruhi that her scent was driving him to distraction.

"Are you going to kiss Aunt Haruhi out here anytime soon or not? Because we want to play the pretend game now." The little voice that broke the silence was startling and both teens jumped. Laughing a little Kyoya sat down Chiriko who took his sister Yuui and walked towards the house. He couldn't wait to play the game. Especially since the tall blonde one he met once freaked him out. He was just so weird. Once alone Kyoya reached for Haruhi and wrapped his arms around her. Her arms came around a encircled his neck and he pulled her tight against him. They both leaned in to bridge the gap, when their lips were just a mili-second away she heard him whisper. "Gotta make this one count" and both were suddenly thown into oblivion on the passion coming from the other. Both were matching passion for passion and loving it. The kiss ended due to breath and they proceeded to walk back towards the house. They knew the children were about to enter.

Just as they were about out of the woods Kyoya grabbed Haruhi by the wrist and pulled her behind the last tree beofre the forest broke into the clean freshly manicured lawn and kissed her once more. "I love you, Haruhi Fujioka." he was still holding her, she had started to blush and the look just made the situation more endearing. He would be paying them forever for her.

"I love you too, Kyoya Otori." she pecked him on the lips and turned. "Now lets go have some fun." And with that she stomped away in what appeared to be a huff and slammed the door behind her following the children inside of the summer home where the friends he knew meant everything to him, though he would never say so out loud to anyone sat and waited.

And with a crooked smirk he fixed his glasses and proceeded to follow the love of his life through the front door.

"And let the games begin." He thought as the front door closed behind him announcing he too had arrived

* * * *.

"Haru-Chan!" Huni-Senpai stated as he launched himself at her as she walked into the now over Hosted room. She knew he was going to do that because he always did, and usually she would get a good footing before he latched onto her. Today was different, he threw himself with a little more gusto due to the fact that he hadn't seen her for a while. She could not get her footing, lucky for her Mori-Senpai was standing next to where she had just entered, just as she went down he grabbed her and set her upright. Before he had rescued her from hitting the floor she saw Kyoya, he looked worried and then he knew she was okay.

Set upright she quickly thanked Mori with a hug and walked over to the twins, sitting right between the two. This shocked them for a moment, then they got over it and wrapped their arms around her. Haruhi smiled and said hello to Tamaki who was now sitting across from her egarly awaiting his chance to be noticed. He liked that she was giving her daddy some attention. They were torn from the happy reunion when she asked. "I called all of her cell phones last week, none of you answered, or called me back, why is that?" she looked at them all. guilt flew into all of the guys.

"We tried my sweet Haruhi, but your phone didn't seem to work." Tamakai stated, knowing it had been thrown into the water with her.

"the water" she thought.

"Oh" she said. Right then Kyoya walked into the room and got a water bottle from the fridge.

"Interesting, that you are all here." he stated before drinking the water. "Where have you been Haruhi?" he asked with a non emotional voice. He didn't even look at her.

"I took a walk with YOUR neice and nephew, Kyoya-senpai. you do remember they are here right." she sounded disgusted. "Bravo, Love." Kyoya thought before answering her.

"Why,Yes Haruhi I do believe I remember they are here. You should probably clean up the muck from your clothes and here is your cell phone eariler from your accident in the lake." He threw it in her general direction, it bounced off one of the twin's was dirty and leaking water still. That was when Haruhi realized she looked awful. Her hair was standing on end and was filthy, her clothes were not in much better shape. She looked at all of the members and looked sheepish. She looked a fright and he still did what he did in the woods.

Standing up she glared at Kyoya who just remained nonchalant to her mood. " I better change before making dinner, please excuse me." she said to the other hosts. Haruhi sulked out of the kitchen. About a minute after her Kyoya looked around himself. Each of the club members were staring at him with a murderous intent. Also under that Kyoya could tell that each of them were confused. Kyoya sauntered out of the kitchen himself. Chiriko was so excited to be playing because as Uncle Kyoya crossed by him he whispered down. " Your up! Go keep them busy, Chiriko, kay?" and he followed Haruhi's example and slammed a different door, to his bedroom.

- - - -

"What do you think happend, boss" the twins asked in unison. Both seemed to be less than pleased about what had just transpired between the shadow king and the only female host.

"I know what happend." came a little voice from the from the door walked around and sat in the lap of the now sitting Mori-senpai. The kid liked him so much because he was big and strong. Takashi smiled.

"So what happend little prince?" Tamaki asked. Chiriko gritted his little boy teeth for a second. "little prince? what was wrong with this guy?"

"Uncle Kyoya threw Aunt Haruhi in to the lake off the dock. It was funny." Chiriko stated pulling his little hand up to cover his wide grin. " she was really upset and so we took a walk to dry off." The hosts all stared at the little kid sitting on Mori's lap. All of their mouths agap. "NO way he didn't" they all thought together. Seeming to read their minds the little boy just nodded over and over. " and guess what...guess what." He asked the now shocked men in front of him. Mori was the one to answer him.

"What." was all he could manage. good thing too casue that was all he really ever said. one word things. However, he knew when he got Kyoya-Senpai alone it was not going to be one word he gave him.

" He wouldn't let her play with us by the lake. He made her sit next to him and serve him ice tea and cookies because she had woken him up so early in the morning." that was passable the boy thought the tea and cookies were on the porch and they surely saw them. The little boy then jumped off of Mori's lap and bounded out of the room.

"What?" was all Tamaki could say. His mind was reeling, he had actually thrown Haruhi into the lake.

"This backfired." Stated Huni-senpai with tears over flowing from his eyes. He was so sure that it would work that he convinced the others to go along with it too. "I'm sorry you guys."

- - - -

Kyoya passed through his room and walked through the adjacent door that led to Haruhi's room. He gave her ample time to get showered and changed. When he opened the door she was sitting on the side of the bed. She looked really sad all of a sudden and he couldn't figure out why.

"Haruhi, whats wrong?" He asked as he sat next to her on the bed. She looked on the verge of tears but he knew her better than that. He knew she was not going to cry all the way.

"I...Well.. I want to stop now kay?" she looked up at him with sullen eyes. "Huni-Senpai just left the room. He was in tears because of something, which was the fact that he thinks that it is his fault that we hate eachother now, becuase the plan was his. He didn't say that but I could tell." He hugged her to his side and thought this over. Maybe just telling them would be best. The fact that they set the plan up meant that they were okay with them getting together, didn't it?

"Haruhi, lets go make dinner for everyone. We can all help and then they can see that it is infact not true that we hate eachother." She looked up at him with a slight smile. She kissed him on the lips for a second and then left the room. He could swear that he heard her say that she loved him before she left the room, shutting the door behind her.

By the time that Kyoya came out to find everyone, they were outside. they had decided to to have a Barbeque for the last meal. While dinner was well on its way, with everyone swimming in the lake Fuyumi showed up. It was time for the kids to leave and that they were in a hurry. Every one said goodbye.

Yuui, walked over to her Uncle Kyoya startling everyone but Haruhi and Kyoya. "Uncle Kyoya, I love you" And she hugged him, as fast as she could she took off towards her mother. While everyone else continued to swim Haruhi finished dinner.

"Dinner's ready." she yelled accross the lawn. They all rushed her at the same time. She sat by the twins and Tamaki eating a skewer. Kyoya sat as far from her as possible. He hated that fact that instead of sitting by her and getting the attention he wanted from her, the twins and everyone else was getting it. Kyoya thought of someway to get her attention.

A smirk came accross his face. Throughout dinner and even before the Hosts had seemed to be really angry at him. As was the right response if indeed he had hurt Haruhi. He was tired of them looking at him like he hurt her. Mainly he just wanted to kiss her and help her clean up so he could be close to her. Instead he stood up and walked directly behind her. Haruhi feeling like something was up, stood up and turned to face Kyoya staring right at her. She felt warmth radiate through her body. She loved him so much and if it wasn't for them she would not get to be with him. then she frowned she was pretending to hate him and she didn't like it.

Suddenly she was off her feet and being carried just like before towards the dock. "Oh shit!" she thought. And as Kyoya predicited she would do in his mind she yelled out. "Kyoya Otori, not again, you put me down, dammit." she was wiggling about in his arms halfway there however, he did the same thing as before. Their lips touched and she stopped wriggling about. In fact her arms came around him and she was matching him with every ounce of her. He was stunned and throughly in love with her. Then he stopped kissing her. Haruhi's mind raced to remember what happend after the kiss last time. She shouted just as she remembered and Kyoya's arms dissappeared from under her. SPLOOSH!!! Into the water went Haruhi only this time, She grabbed his wrist and he went tumbling in after her. As they hit the water he instinctively grabbed her around her waist to keep her from going under him and not being able to come up for air.

Their friends stared in shock as both disappeared under the water. What had just happend? they all wanted to know. They would have done something to prevent it only they were to stunnded that their friend had grabbed Haruhi and tried to throw her into the lake for a second time to react quickly enough, even Huni and Mori didn't move. That was the same thing that she said on the phone. Which means???

They walked to the dock and looked down just as a soaking wet pair came sputtering out of the water. The faces of the Host club was too much and Haruhi lost it. She was laughing so hard she couldn't manange anything but stay afloat and hang onto Kyoya. He was holding her up, thanking god that he could stand in the water. He started walking over to the edge, when he looked up and also saw the faces of his friends. He started laughing just as hard and they crawled out onto the sandy sife of the lake and lay on the ground laughing. The others walked over to them and just looked down. Which means???

(five light bulbs in a dark room became alight)

"So you don't hate each other." it was not what was said by the small senior but how he said it. With saddness and a little bit of hope. The two sobered up quickly.

"Huni-Senpai" Haruhi sat up on her knees and looked him in the eye. The next thing shocked them all. Haruhi hugged Huni very tightly. "Thank you! I am glad your plan worked." She then leaned back to take all of the faces of her dear friends. "Thank you for agreeing with the plan, you guys!" she then looked over at Kyoya who was nodding as he was wiping his glasses off of water. Looking at Huni He said.

"Huni-Senpai, a question... what if this plan didn't work?" No one knew the answer of the question just posed by the ever claculating Shadow King of the Oruan High School Host Club. When no one answered he just walked over to each one and said his thanks. Everyone was shocked to the core. Kyoya was thanking them for besting him. "You all didn't have to do this. I understand how hard this was for all of you to do when in fact you all have had and or harbored feelings one way or the other for our dear Haruhi. I will repay all of you, one day. I my self had not understood or knew the feelings I had for her, but with your plans you brought out the feelings." He walked over and hugged Haruhi, who blushed and nodded. She kissed his cheek and they turned back to their friends.

"You all knew we were nursing feelings for eachother and we didn't even know it." she went over and hugged the remaining host club members. She stopped at Mori-Senpai due to the fact that it had always felt like he was an older brother to her. She looked up and smiled and then hugged him. She was so happy that it had all turned out for the best.

Later that night:

The twins were in the room the kids previously vacated and Huni, Mori and Tamaki were all sharing the room Haruhi had before all of this broke out.

Haruhi climbed into the bed that had been disheveled the night before by two near adults and two little children. She was tired and knew sleep was going to come easy for her this night. That was until her boyfriend, Kyoya Otori walked in. She had forgot that she was going to share a room with him. She knew she should not be nervous but the night before there were, how do you say, certain situations that made it not so akward. On top of the children being in the room with them all night. Kyoya readied himself for bed and looked down at the appearing to be asleep form of his girlfriend. He could not have been happier. Though he knew he didn't deserve someone as spectacular as her, he knew he could never give her up. Climbing into bed next to her he was shocked that the moment he stopped moving and was comfortable Haruhi rolled into his side and laid her head on his shoulder, sleeping as sound as she had ever had. Haruhi was so comforted by his mere nearness that the moment her heard his his shoulder she was asleep in a heartbeat. Kyoya kissed her forehead and thought back to the night before when his neice and nephew asked if they could sleep with him and their Aunt Haruhi. It was like they knew he was in love with her already and that one day she would be their Aunt. He knew without a doubt in his mind that she would be his forever. The love he shared with her was remarkable and he knew it would last.

He fell asleep next to his girlfriend with the thoughts of the future. Not just his now but his future wife and children, he hoped that there were many night where he and Haruhi were asleep and their children (Which he loved the sound of) crawled into bed to sleep with them. Then he thought maybe not to many nights, I like sleeping like this way to much.. And also of the futures that the rest of the notorious Ouran High School Host Club Member's would have as well. They were very intriguing thoughts in and of themselves.
