Here comes the last chapter. I didn't know how to finish the story. I really don't like this ending at all. Anyway, thank you for your support *bow*

Enjoy your reading! ^^

Haruhi lay awake on her bed, stared the ceiling. She couldn't help thinking of him. What happened to him?

"Darling, are you ok?" Ranka quietly asked his daughter

"I'm fine" She turned away, tried to avoid her father's look

"'I'm fine' is the most popular lie in the world. Why do you act like this after returning from the parade? Didn't your friends recognize you? Oh, just because my daughter is too beautiful in dresses?" He gently rubbed her back

"I'm tired, dad. I need rest" She mumbled. Suddenly there was a door knock. A maid stepped in

"Sir, there are some handsome men wanting to meet Haruhi-sama"

"Woo… Handsome men." Said Ranka amazed while Haruhi sat up, eyes-widened. "I just wonder if one of them could be something-in-law in my family"

"DAD" Haruhi snapped.

"Ok. Ok. Just kidding. Let them in" He laughed loudly then walked out. A minute later, five men burst in Haruhi's room

"HARUHI" They yelled cheerily

"Hi, guys" Haruhi beamed widely. Tamaki threw himself onto Haruhi in a tight hug

"Can't… breathe … senpai" Haruhi struggled to escape. The twins soon pulled him off her

"You're spoiling our Toy, Tono" They chorused in unison then threw their arms over her shoulder. Haruhi felt uncomfortable but she would rather be sandwiched by the twins. Following Tamaki and the twins, was Hani sitting on Mori's shoulder. He jumped on his feet then bounced toward Haruhi

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan. We miss you so much" said Hani in his cutest voice

"I miss you, too"

After the greeting, they all settled on their seats, had some tea and cakes (for Hani). Six males began talking about what happened when Haruhi had left the camp: the war, their victory…

"Do you know how could we defeat them? All thank to the secret weapon. Yes, it's a secret weapon because even I and the twins didn't know about it. There were only three people who were in charge and two of them were Hani and Mori. We were very shocked when the weapon was used."

"Yes, totally shocked" The twins added

They kept babbling nonstop about things Haruhi didn't care. She just wanted to hear about him. But in their conversation, they mentioned nothing about Kyouya as if he didn't exist, that made Haruhi go crazy. Two hours later, Tamaki, Hani, Mori and the twins told her everything from the man named Nekozawa, who developed the secret weapon to how many cakes Hani ate in their celebration of victory. But not a word about Kyouya. How could they do that? He was their General, their friend. Well, they all had known her 'relationship' with him; at least they must understand how she desired to hear about Kyouya. Haruhi lost her patience

"Do you have anything to tell me?" Haruhi asked impatiently

"Um- We told you everything" Tamaki tapped his chin then turned to the twins "Do you have anything to tell her?"

"No, we're sure that we didn't miss anything" The twins shook their heads while grinning mischievously "Right, Hani-senpai, and Mori-senpai?"

"Ah" Mori answered as usual

"Oh, I forgot one thing" Hani cried, the others stared at him, Haruhi raised her eyebrows "Usa-chan finally gets on well with Kuma-chan, the teddy bear of Tama-chan"

They sighed and Haruhi rolled her eyes. "What… What about… K-kyouya?" She stuttered then all the males burst out laughing. Haruhi stared at them, bewildered

"It took her 2 hours to ask. You lost the bet, Tono" The twins said while trying to hold their laugh

"Haruhi, you're more impatient than I thought" Tamaki whined and tossed some gold coins to the twins.

"What are you talking about? Why do you laugh?" Haruhi seemed confused and slightly angry

"If you want to hear about Kyou-chan" said Hani amused "all you have to do is ask, Haru-chan"

Haruhi flushed with embarrassment. They were making fun of her and she didn't like it.

"Ok, can you tell me how he is now?" she said quietly

"He went to the dark chamber" Tamaki stated and Haruhi went pale "He is a very principled man. He does what he has said."

"The night before the last battle, he walked into the chamber" "We were so nervous. There was plenty of time and he decided at that moment" The twins continued

"Actually" Hani smiled "'We' means Tama-chan, Hika-chan and Kao-chan. I and Takashi weren't nervous at all"

"Ah" Mori nodded

"Because they had knew the truth of the dark chamber" The twins growled furiously

"Kyouya made the story about that chamber up to cover the truth beneath it" Tamaki explained "He had built that it to develop the weapon secretly. It was Hani and Mori-senpai's idea. The screams we heard sometimes were Nekozawa-kun's noise when he was stressful" Tamaki shrugged

"You mean Kyouya was fine because that chamber wasn't scary?" Haruhi asked bemused

"He wasn't fine" The twins said indifferently

"After we knew the truth, we gave him a lesson" Kaoru said

"Yeah, we punched him until he passed out" Hikaru told eagerly

"What?" Haruhi cried nervously

"Some punches, yes, but he didn't pass out" Tamaki chuckled "At least he must know how much we worried about him"

"Yeah, we also taught him how to …" Hani was going to say something but Tamaki and the twins shouted

"HANI-SENPAI" Mori covered Hani's mouth. Haruhi didn't care much about their odd behavior. She left out a sigh of relief

"At least he was fine, but why couldn't I see him at the parade? Didn't he come back home?" She asked curiously

"Why do you care so much about him, Haruhi" Tamaki asked mischievously just like the twins

"Because he's my …" Haruhi paused. He wasn't her fiancé anymore. He was her ex-fiancé. Just thinking about it, she felt her stomach clenched. She loved him but did it matter?

"He is your what?" The twins grinned from ear to ear evilly

"He… He is the best General of our Kingdom. Is it wrong that a civilian like me cares about him?" Haruhi snapped, didn't want them to make fun of her anymore

"No" They shrugged and exchanged a glance.

"Kyou-chan's lov…" Hani uttered and Mori slid a big slice of cake into his mouth. Tamaki suddenly stood right up

"Ok. Our main purpose we get here is …" Tamaki didn't finish his sentence and the twins cut him off

"Our purpose is…" "Play a game with you, Haruhi"

"What? Game?" Haruhi blinked surprised

"Make-Haruhi-happy-again game" The twins sang merrily

Before she could react, they dragged her out. Tamaki, Hani and Mori were in the twins' game because they didn't bother stopping them. They asked Ranka to let them take Haruhi to the camp in order to bring back nice memories. He said 'yes' with no hesitancy. Reluctantly, Haruhi was pushed in a crazy trip with them. But she couldn't deny that the trip made her mood better. She had so much fun. They said Kyouya had broken the rule no woman in the camp. So she could go there without disguising. The new trainee of Hani and Mori, Renge, was a girl, too. Especially, Haruhi raised a hope to meet Kyouya again as they said he was still at the camp

"You guys go first, I want to go to one place before coming in the camp" said Haruhi when they almost reached there. She turned on her heels then headed for the lake. She needed to think. She had desired to see him but now when she could, she didn't know how to face him. What would she say? What would he react? And the most important, did he want to meet her again? The lake was beautiful even the autumn came with leafless branches and a carpet dried leaves. She slowly walked along the shore, sensed the cool fresh air. This place witnessed their first encounter, their first date (if she could call it a date). Haruhi bent down, picked a little pebble, threw it into water

"What are you doing here?" A male voice made her jump. Haruhi turned back and froze. Standing there was Kyouya. "Haruhi?" He seemed surprised

"H-hi" Haruhi stuttered. They stared at each other for a while

"I don't expect to see you here" Kyouya uttered

"Me neither" Haruhi muttered, looked away to hide her slightly blushing face. Her heart beat crazily fast. Then they joined the walk together. An awkward silence took over and it appeared very hard to break the ice. Haruhi glanced at him. He was still kept his emotionless face as usual.

"I heard you broke the rule?" She said quietly

"Rule? Ah, the rule" Kyouya smirked "Well, I did consider your thought. It seemed not bad at all. At least no soldier of mine thought he was gay as he had feeling for a girl disguising as a boy anymore"

He tried to ease the tension but sadly it didn't work. There was silence again. Haruhi changed the subject "Are you stressful? You said you had a walk here when you was stressful"

"Ugm-yes, I have a brainstorm" He didn't looked at her

"You can tell me" Haruhi tilted her head "if you want" she added quickly

"Well, it's about the girl I love" Haruhi stopped, she felt her stomach twisted "I love her but she seems so oblivious" Kyouya continued when he noticed that Haruhi had stopped, he swung his head back "Do you have any idea to help me?"

He was talking to her about that girl who she didn't even know? How could he do that? She used to be his fiancée (arranged fiancée) and it had been only three month since the engagement was broken. Did he know it hurt her so much?

"I have no idea" she tried to say as normal as possible

Kyouya smiled slightly "It's very rude of me to ask you like that. Well, you was my fiancée, anyway. Sorry"

"It's ok" She took some steps to catch up him

"Do you know that I had known you were my fiancée before you told the others?" He asked in amusement

"What? You had known?" Haruhi raised her eyebrow, eyes-widened "But how? When?"

"Recall the time when you asked me if I thought my fiancée ran to find me. I suddenly remembered the first name of her was Fujioka. So I knew it was you."

"But you didn't say…"

"I didn't have a chance to tell you" He said regretfully

"Um so that explains why you didn't surprise when I told you the truth"

"I did surprise" He stopped "I did surprise that you came here to tell me to break the engagement. I thought you wanted to know me, your unknown fiancé." There was a note of hurt in his voice

"Kyouya" Haruhi was confused. What was he driving at? Why did she see sadness in his eyes? He didn't have to feel sad. He loved another girl. The engagement didn't have any mean to him, did it? "It didn't matter what was my intention. You broke the engagement no matter what. You didn't love me"

"Do you remember what I said when you told me your fiancé didn't love you?" Kyouya walked closer to her, leaned down and whispered to her ear "Believe me, he does"

Haruhi stopped dead; her heart skipped a beat. She felt her mind blank

"D-do you mean …" She stuttered

"Yes" He gently held her hand "I mean it" His soft voice echoed in her head. And she felt a warm glow of foreign feeling growing in her body. It was the mixture of confusion, excitement and anxiety. She became dumbfound. "So I want you -" He went on, looked deep into her brown eyes "not to assume that he didn't love you because he really does" He smirked then stood straight up. "I helped you understand your ex-fiancé's feeling. Can you help me with the oblivious girl I love?"

Haruhi finally kept up with what was happening. "You never-" She opened her mouth "tell her 'three magic word' she has desired to hear"

Kyouya blinked "You mean 'I love you'?"

"Is it a question or a statement?" She snapped, stared at him. Kyouya was caught off guard

"I-I love you" For the first time in his life, the mighty General Ootori Kyouya stuttered. Haruhi could feel the sincerity and vulnerability in his voice that she knew for sure he meant every word. Unintentionally, she stood on tiptoes and pressed her lips on his. Kyouya's eyes widened but soon he slid his arm around her waist, pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. This was their first passionate kiss. Haruhi was too happy to think about anything. She dreamt about this many times before and when it came true, she scared that everything was just a dream. Kyouya pulled back and rest his forehead on hers

"So what does the kiss mean?" He whispered softly

"It means I love you, too" Haruhi smiled and hugged him tightly. This wasn't a dream because she even hear someone talking behind those bush

"I feel like a matchmaker. Do you feel like that, Takashi?" It was sweet voice of Hani

"Ah" was Mori's answer

"You didn't do anything, Hani-senpai" The twins whispered "It was me who tell Kyouya-senpai that Haruhi loved him" "And it was me who arranged the whole plan"

"I can't believe it" Tamaki snuffle

"What's up, Tono?"

"Kyouya didn't even use my eighteen-page note 'How to confess your feeling' I wrote for him."

"You're idiot, Tono" The twins snapped

Kyouya chuckled while hugging Haruhi that made her know he heard them too. But they ignored them and shared another sweet kiss.

_Fin_

Haruhi: Kaoru told you I love you, why don't you come back home with the other and tell me your feeling.

Kyouya: I wanted to rush to you as soon as possible. But I thought you ought to go through what I felt when you said you wanted me to broke the engagement.

Haruhi: You're evil Shadow king

Kyouya: Besides, I wanted to confess to you at a special place

"The lake" They said in unison

Haruhi: But what if I hadn't come here?

Kyouya: *smirk*. So all I had to do is make sure you would come

Haruhi: Wait, wasn't it Hikaru who planned the Make-Haruhi-happy-again game?

Kyouya: I just inspired him a little

Haruhi: Calculating evil Shadow king

Kyouya: You don't like a calculating husband-to-be?

Haruhi: I don't know *shrug.* Oh, I still wonder one thing

Kyouya: Yes?

Haruhi: You loved me and you had known I'm your fiancée, why did you break the engagement? You could marry me and make me love you later.

Kyouya: You think you can make some someone love you if he doesn't? Anyway, I didn't want to force you in an arranged married. I was afraid that you would run away, find your true love and live happily ever after without me.

Haruhi: *chuckle* I did run away and find my true love

Kyouya: *pull her in a hug*. And it's my job to make you live happily ever after

Ranka, Tamaki, Hani, the twins: OH, IT'S SO SWEET *Mori nodded*

Haruhi: Stop overhearing us. And what are you doing at the camp, dad?

Ranka: I miss my daughter and my son-in-law

Tamaki and the twins: *whine* Stop it Ranka-san. You told it a million times.
