What happened after that was really confusing but really good. Hikaru pinned Kyoya to the ground, Kyoya struggled big time. Haruhi went to Tamaki to help support him, I went to help my brother. A swift blow to the head stopped Kyoya struggling. I looked at my brother, now dragging an unconscious Kyoya to his feet. I grabbed hold of Kyoya too. We both carried him out of the saloon and to the jail. Tamaki was taken back up stairs to his room. Hikaru carried Kyoya's shoulders while I carried his feet.

"He will have a headache when he wakes up." Hikaru said as we walked through the town. I chuckled.

"Well he shouldn't of gotten big headed." I sniggered, Hikaru started to laugh as well.

"He doesn't deserve Haruhi." Hikaru commented. The laughter stopped. I looked at my brother. "Haruhi deserves a real man. One of outstanding character who's courageous, loyal, caring and who can fight for her." A smile crossed Hikaru's face. "Someone like you."

"Hikaru." I smiled, after all that had happened it was great to hear him finally accept it. "You forgot devilishly good looks."

"Well I think I should go with Haruhi?" He joked. We both started laughing again. Hikaru turned and opened the door for the jail as we carried Kyoya in.

The jail was a very small building. Plain walls on a dry colour. The metal bars separating cells. We put Kyoya down on a chair while we opened the cell. He didn't stir. Hikaru opened the cell door and I dragged Kyoya through. I placed him on the bed in the cell. I quickly exited the cell so Hikaru could lock the door.

"Well, he's finally where he belongs." Hikaru said locking the door. "Somewhere I hope he stays."

"What if he wasn't all fault?" I asked, my brother looked confused. "What if he was only doing what he was ordered to?"

"We all have a choice Karou. We all know right from wrong. It's up to us to choose our way." Hikaru said resting his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him.

"Your right. It's his choice." I looked back at Kyoya. His black hair scuffed, his shirt torn, his arm broken, I felt sorry for him. Looking at him now I saw a victim. I worried for his fate. What was going to happen to him now? "Hikaru, what's going to happen to him?"

"He'll be found guilty and may face exile or worse." Hikaru said, no emotion in his voice. I looked to my brother. "Karou remember what he's done, not just to us but many. He deserves this." I nodded, turning from Kyoya. Walking out of the room.

"What about the debt?" I asked Hikaru alarmed. "If we don't pay him back, then Renge would be in trouble. Haruhi would have to marry him. Tamaki wouldn't see tomorrow." Hikaru pulled me towards him, gently putting one arm around my waist. His hand moving to my face, his finger on my lips. I looked at him, my eyes met his.

"You always get yourself in a panic Karou." Hikaru said quietly. Moving his finger away from my lips brushing the side of my cheek.

"Hikaru, the debt?" He quickly shushed me.

"Come back to the Saloon, we'll explain what will happen next."

We walked back to the Saloon. Hikaru refused to tell me any more than I knew. I wined and tried every trick in the book to get him to tell me, but he didn't. He pushed the doors open to the Saloon and I met a very strange site.

"Hi Hikaru and Karou! You going to help me get ready?" Renge said. I was confused. She was half way up a ladder with a banner. She was decorating. What the heck? I looked across the room to see Haruhi holding the other side of the banner also putting it up.

"Sure!" Hikaru shouted as he dashed over to help Renge. What was he doing?

"Karou, can you help me?" Haruhi asked from the other side of the room.

"Ok?" I walked over to her.

"Can you hand me that?" She pointed to a hammer. I looked at it and back up at her. Confusion written across my face. Haruhi laughed. "Come on Karou, it's a hammer." I quickly picked it up and gave it to her.

"What's this for?" I looked around the room, it was all decorated. The Saloon was all done up for a big party.

"Just you wait." Haruhi said cheekily. I was slightly annoyed. Everyone knew what was going on apart from me. I left Haruhi putting up the banner, sitting down at a table I had a rest and looked around. Haruhi was working fine, now she would be free if we pay back the debt. Renge and Hikaru was working together, Renge looked the happiest I've seen her all week. Hikaru also looked like he was relaxing for the first time in I don't know how long. I noticed something different about Hikaru when he was with Renge. Maybe, just maybe, there was something special going on. I smiled, it had been ages since I had been able to relax. Haruhi came over and sat down next to me.

"Karou, you ok?" She asked.

"Yeah, I just wish I knew what everyone was so happy about." I answered sulkily.

"Your about to find out." She said leaning towards me. I was about to ask her but she seemed to dart off to the bar. I followed her, she stood next to Hikaru and Renge. I stood up confused.

"Karou, you're the only one who doesn't know." Renge said. Hikaru pulled on a rope. The banner unfolded above the bar. I looked up first confused, the sign read 'Hero's Party'. I didn't get it. Haruhi ran back to me and hugged me.

"Haruhi, I don't get it." I said, Haruhi looked up at me.

"The letter you guy's delivered. It was a card to Tamaki to congratulate him from the last sheriff! He sent £7000!" She told me. A light went on in my head. The town was safe! We could pay Kyoya back! I stopped myself.

"If we opened that card when we delivered it...?" I started to question, Haruhi stopped my question with a kiss. I kissed back, we hugged each other. For the first time, nothing was going to go wrong this time. No shot, no Kyoya...

"Get a room!" Hikaru shouted at us. I looked at Haruhi, we both laughed and looked at Hikaru. Hikaru had his hand around Renge's waist.

The party was great, we all had free drinks. Renge was back to being happy and bubbly. Haruhi enjoyed her new freedom, I was able to dance with Haruhi without anyone shouting at me. Tamaki came down to join the party. He sat to the side watching the party, but he had a good drink. Renge and Haruhi were soon tired as the evening went on. Hikaru took Renge upstairs. Haruhi went up herself. I sat down next to Tamaki.

"Karou, well done." He said as I sat down.

"What for?" I asked.

"You and your brother saved the town and me. That's the main reason for this party."

"Thanks, you saved Hikaru's life."

"Yes, putting mine at risk, but that's my job." He smiled. "I know you will take care of Haruhi." Tamaki turned to face me. "Are you going to stay?"

"I don't know. We should hit the road but..." I thought of Hikaru and Renge. " Is there somewhere we could stay to work?" I asked.

"We'll need a new bank manager." Tamaki said. "I think Renge may need a hand to help."

"We'll stay, I'm sure Hikaru will agree." I smiled. I was going to take the job of running the bank, Hikaru would stay with Renge to help. Everything seemed to be looking up.

I pushed the door open, it creaked. I went in a slice of cake in hand.

"Kyoya? You ok?" I asked as I walked into the jail. I was planning to give him a slice of cake. I stopped once I'd entered. The cell was empty, the door was open and Kyoya was nowhere to be seen. I looked around, no sign of anything. I turned to leave but caught sight of the wall, a few words were scratched into it. 'I was so close.' I shut the door leaving the jail. I never saw Kyoya again. I will never know what happened to him. He never darkened our doorway ever again.
