Chapter 13

~Haruhi~

Weeks went by when the day finally came for the trial. Haruhi was tired from the interrogations and was thankful when the jury went back to decide is Yoshio was guilty. They all waited…

And waited…

And waited…

After half an hour the judge excused everyone until the jury returned. When Haruhi walked out of the court room, she was battered with shouts from the reporters and she was blinded by cameras. Most of the questions were filled with words like "Are you really a girl," and "Why did you keep your gender a secret?" Yes her big secret got out, thanks to Yoshio's toad-like lawyer.

~Earlier during court~

"Defense calls Haruhi Fujioka to the stand." Haruhi stood up nervously and walked up to the stand and sat. The toad-faced lawyer stared at her curiously and then suddenly asked, "Mr. Fujioka, tell me how you know my client…"

"Well… I was tutoring him on my spare time but that's about it," she replied.

"Alright… tell me Fujioka, when is your birthday?"

"February 4th."

"Good, now how about your grade?"

"I am a first year student at Ouran," she said uneasily, suspecting some type of reasoning behind the questions.

"Alright… now tell me Haruhi, what is your gender?"

"Objection, relevance," the prosecutor stood up and shouted.

"Oh I assure you your honor, I have a reason behind the question," the lawyer said up at the gray haired woman on the judge's chair. The judge nodded and announced the objection overruled. "Would you please answer the question Haruhi?" Haruhi looked over at Kyoya and the others, and they were all nervous. Do I tell them the truth? What do I do! "Fujioka?"

"Uh…I am a male."

"REALLY! Tell me then Mr. Fujioka, what is this?" He took out a sheet of paper and put it in front of her. Haruhi stared at the paper in horror as it showed her he birth certificate. The lawyer pointed at the place that indicated her gender. Haruhi looked up from it and stared at the lawyer square in the face.

"It says 'Born February 4th; Gender: Female," she cut the last word out in a sharp, cold tone. The lawyer gave her a satisfied smile.

"You are a female Fujioka?" He turned to face the jury this time. Inner hatred burned inside Haruhi for this toad-like man.

"Yes."

"You lied under oath about your gender."

"Objection! Why does this matter at all for this case?" the prosecutor asked.

"It matters," the lawyer snapped. He began to rant. "My client is mentally ill and had a bad history with cross dressers. He may need tutoring with math, but he is not so stupid as to miss the fact that this girl was lying about her gender and – in my client's view – was manipulating the girls in Ouran Academy by participating in the host club. From this shock, my client's ill mind came up with the conclusion that Ms. Fujioka had to be stopped in any means necessary. Now, it isn't my business why Miss Fujioka did these things, but it just proves that this only happened because the appearance of a girl acting as a boy stirred up painful memories that clouded my client's personal judgment."

~Present~

Haruhi covered her eyes and pushed out of the mob of reporters, running down an unfamiliar hallway in the courthouse. She dodged people in the hall and took every-which-way turns in the maze-like courthouse. She looked back from running and saw that she had almost lost them when someone gripped her arm and pulled her into a side room. The door shut behind her and she tugged her arm away from the person that had dragged her into the unlit room. She went on defensive and began to hit him, but he quickly grabbed her wrists, but she continued struggling.

"Haruhi cut it out, it's just me," Haruhi recognized Kyoya voice. The light blinded her momentarily when he turned it on, but looked up at him and sighed. "You're welcome for saving you from those stalkers." Haruhi blushed slightly and smirked.

"Yea, thanks Kyoya-sempi."

"You made quite a problem for the Host Club up there." The look he gave her was confusing – filled with satisfaction and amusement – and was quite out of place in his usual cold features. "Now I'm going to have to figure out how else to pay off your debt."

"What debt?" Haruhi said scowling at him. "Before court I went through my payments and my debt has been paid off for over two months now!" Kyoya's eyebrows shot up and he brought out his notebook, flipping through the pages. His eyebrows went up even higher in surprise. "Wow, the great Kyoya-sempi was wrong, I guess you are human." He smirked and put his notebook away. They both heard voices outside the door and they quieted. The voices murmured for a moment and then disappeared.

"Haruhi, now that your big secret is out, I will provide you with a female uniform, I think the one you wore that day when your first uniform got ruined is still available."

"Thanks Kyoya-sempi." They stood in silence for a bit, and as she stared at Kyoya, she watched different unfamiliar emotions go over his features. Her blush grew a bit brighter, unsure why she felt so embarrassed around Kyoya now. She looked down at her feet and began messing with the hem of her brown suit.

"Haruhi." She felt Kyoya bring his hand to her cheek. She looked up at him, but before she could ask what he wanted, their lips met. Haruhi stood in shock as he brought his hand around her and deepened the kiss. Haruhi's eyes fluttered shut and brought her hands up to tangle into his hair. She couldn't explain the feelings that rushed over her, but she knew there was one word that fit that moment perfectly.

Footsteps suddenly thundered down the hall outside and they quickly pulled away from each other. The door shot open and Tamaki and the twins rushed into the room. "The jury made a verdict already we have been trying to find you," the twins said.

"He was found guilty and will be in jail for a long time," Tamaki said, hugging Haruhi. She pulled away and smiled at them. The three boys left the room and she and Kyoya soon followed. What was that word? She went into deep thought and completely ignored the reporters that were now struggling to get to them, but was being pushed back by the security. It wasn't until they got to the limo they all came in and everyone but she and Kyoya were in the car. She looked up at Kyoya with a smile.

"Ecstasy," she said up to him. He looked at her curiously for a moment before nodding and smiling at her lovingly and sharing her thoughts. This is pure ecstasy.
