Hey everyone who has honoured me in reading this fanfic

Just letting everyone know this isn't my usual style of writing but I hope its still okay. I have just had a major operation and am currently recovering and was bored. I had just finished reading the 15th manga of ouran high and this story came to my head. Seeing as I am bored out of my mind and stuck in bed I thought, 'what the heck' and decided to post it. Please tell me if it can improve in anyway.

Thanks and enjoy my fanfic!

Disclaimer: I do not own the ouran high host club story nor do I own it's characters. I do own Tori and I REALLY REALLY REALLY WISH I OWNED MORI! Why can't he be real T-T

Mori's conflicting heart

Mori looked forward in a daze, school bag slung over his shoulder as he lost himself in thought. Hani was walking beside him, bag on his back and holding his prized plush rabbit as he excitingly talked of the cake they would soon share. It was hard to believe that this short and adorable teenager that was soon to graduate high school had only a few hours earlier been telling Mori how adorable Kanazuki was. Mori did think he was mean for not taking the initial step and asking her out, but Hani just loved how cute she was when she was nervous. Mori was sure that if Hani just told her that he actually did like her, their relationship would move along rather quickly.

Then there was Tamaki and Hikaru, fighting over Haruhi instead of just telling the poor girl that they liked her. Kaoru seemed to be the only one to admit his feelings and even though that didn't work out for him at least he wasn't torturing a poor girl or acting like a complete idiot! And Kyoya seemed to have no interest in the opposite sex at this point in time. Mori sighed, disappointed at the fact that the only person he could respect when it came to love advice was some one that had been turned down. And he really needed it. Too be honest, he needed it for the last 4 years. Was it really 4 years since he realised his feelings for her? He has known her far longer than that and he wonders how long he had actually loved her for.

"Takashi what do you think?" Mori looked down at his closest friend, An impatient twinkle in his eye as he awaited for his friends answer. Mori blinked, wondering what exactly Hani had been talking about. It was cake earlier wasn't it? Maybe a quick guess would cover the fact he had totally tuned out the blonde haired boy.

"Strawberry." He bluntly said and Hani's face lit up
"Yeah your right Takashi. If we had chocolate cake with herbal tea it won't complement the flavour!" Mori sighed inwardly, thankful that his guess had been correct. He really didn't want to walk in Hani's front door with him tearing up. What would she think?

"I'M HOME!" Hani called out as he opened the huge doors to his house. Mori's eyes silently searched the large entrance until they fell on the grand staircase that descended to the doors. Happily running down them was Tori. Her chestnut brown hair reached far beyond her waist and her bright blue eyes happily looked toward him and Hani. She was of average height, had an amazing figure and a few freckles that sprinkled across her cheeks.

"Lil Hani! I've been waiting for you and Mori! What took you two so long?"
"Sorry Lil sis. Takashi has been having all sorts or challenges and it's taking him a while to get through them all." Mori watched silently as the two conversed. Tori wasn't actually a blood sister of Hani. She was an orphan. When Hani was 9 he had wondered off and gotten himself lost. Mori remembered how a whole police crew was hired to search for him. No one really thought he was kidnapped. Anyone that tried to kidnap Hani, at even that age, would have been horribly surprised when the little boy would fight back and land them in Hospital. But Mori would never forget what he saw that night. In the pouring rain under a slippery dip in a park, there was Hani sleeping soundly. He had a ratted old blanket wrapped around him and a dirty old plush dog as a pillow. When Hani woke up he was panicked, searching the entire playground before crying into Mori's arm. Apparently he was lost when an 8 year old girl, living on the streets, approached him. She had asked him to hold on to her toy and run off telling the nearest police she found a lost boy. But Hani refused to return with the police but insisted he remain with the girl, promising to give her a home. So they waited together while the police man reported into headquarters who then told the search crew. But whilst Hani dozed off she left. Hani was so upset that his parents then asked the search team to look for the little girl. It took them 3 days to find the girl, sick and starving. Like promised Hani's family adopted her and treated her as their own daughter. She never told anyone why she left Hani alone with her only means of warmth and her only prized possession, just as she never told anyone why she refused to go to an expensive school and was quite happy helping the maids. She never explained why she would not call Hani and himself by their first name although they have both asked her to. But never the less Hani adored her, and that was why Mori could never tell her how he felt.

"Mori, I'm sorry. We got so carried away talking about Cake that I forgot to greet you personally. How have you been today?" She smiled that amazing smile of hers that made Mori's heart melt, but he was used to hiding his feelings for her so as usual he patted her head as he said "Fine thank you." He had patted her on the head when first they met. She has always been the perfect height for head patting. And her hair was so soft and silky! He would love to actually run his fingers through it over and over again. But he never could.
"Shall we then?" Tori asked as the three made their way to the garden.

Mori sat and happily listened to Hani talk about everything that happened that day. Although she had never met any of the other host, it was as if she had known them for years due to the countless stories Hani had told her. Mori sipped at the tea slowly, the smell of jasmine wafted up his nose and he found himself happily inhaling the aroma of the tea.
"Do you like the tea Mori? It's a new one I made the other day. I was worried it might be too strong for your taste." Tori said as she stared into her cup.
"It's good." Mori replied as he sipped it yet again.
"Yeah Lil sis! Can I take some to the Host Club to try? They really like your teas and keep asking where I get them from." Hani piped in as he helped himself to his fifth piece of strawberry cake. Tori giggled happily as she picked away at the tiny piece of cake that occupied her plate. That was another thing Mori never understood. Why she never wanted to be mentioned to their friends. Hani often reassured her that if she was embarrassed at her humble beginnings she really shouldn't worry, but she would in turn assure him that, that was not the reason. A maid came in and bowed as she spoke
"sir Haninozuka. Your parents wish to speak to you about the university you will be attending."
"Okie dokie!" Hani happily agreed as he scoffed down the last of his cake. Mori stood up without saying a word
"Are you leaving now Takashi?" Hani asked as Tori also stood. Mori nodded as he expected the usual, Tori had stood and straightened her skirt so now she would sincerely thank him for having tea with her and wish him a good day.
"Lil Hani I will be going to. I want to pick up some more ingredients for my tea."
"You Can't go alone Lil sis. What if someone attacked you! Wait till I finish and I will go with you." Hani insisted.
"No. You need to take time in choosing the university in which you attend. I will be fine." Hani was beginning to turn on the water works when Mori's hand patted the both of them on the head.
"I'll take her." He plainly said turning before he lost control of the slight blush that was threatening to reveal his feelings. He had never been alone with her before but if this made both happy then he would have to do it... that and... he really wouldn't mind being alone with her.

Tori always picked her ingredients fresh from a botanical garden nearby. If it was apple and cinnamon tea she would use real apples and cinnamon. Mori was like normal on the outside, quiet, blunt when he did speak and his facial expressions were set like concrete; on the inside however he felt like he would have a heart attack soon enough from how hard his heart pounded. She would smile at him and it would pound, it will just be calming down and she would giggle or laugh and it would pound. Almost calm again and their hands touched when he offered to carry the basket for her, heart calms and then she had to trip and grab his arm to stop herself from falling over. When he got home he would probably be a breathless heap on the floor, blushing furiously and madly trying to gain control of his feelings. He watched as she tried to pick an apple from the tree. It was obviously out of her reach. Mori was so busy trying to hide how he felt he didn't even realise he had walked over and picked her up, sitting the light girl on his shoulder. Tori blushed slightly, shocked at the sudden action as much as Mori himself was, and with that sweet smile he had begun to long for she said
"Thank you Mori! That's sweet of you." He was glad she was busy picking the apples because if she looked down there was no way she could miss the deep red of his cheeks. He felt completely flushed as he realised her shapely legs were right near his head. What was he thinking!

After letting her down again he watched as she sat slowly under the tree and patted the grass next to her
"Why don't we have a little rest before we walk back?" She wanted him to sit next to her now! That's it...he should have written a will... after today he was sure his beating heart would pound so hard it would fail him. He sat down stiffly and tried to focus on anything but her face. His gaze found a lady bug on his shoe and it remained there as she spoke.
"Hani and you really love the host club don't you." Mori nodded
"Do you think Hani is upset I won't meet them?" Her voice sounded shaken and it was just enough to tear Mori's attention from the lady bug to herself.
"You know Hani better than anyone else... so is he mad?" Of course he wasn't! Confused yes but mad never! He could never be mad at her.
"No." Mori answered bluntly.
"thank you." She smiled back as she closed her eyes and leaned back on the tree.
"Promise..." Mori started "promise you won't leave the Haninozuka family." She looked a little pained, as if an unpleasant thought crossed her mind, but then she looked into Mori's eyes and her smile graced her beautiful face once again.
"Okay... I promise." After that she remained silent and Mori was left to his thoughts once again.

He really wished he could admit his feelings. He wasn't worried if she rejected him or accepted him as long as he could tell her. But if he did it would hurt Hani. From when they were little Hani always told him privately that if anyone fell in love with his lil sis they would have to face him. He often mentioned how he never wanted her to leave his side. He did not romantically love her but he didn't want her to leave him alone like she did all those years ago. Every time he came home he was scared that she wouldn't come running down the stairs to see him. He was scared all he would find in her room was that old toy dog. He didn't want to lose her. And if she fell in love and got married then he would lose her. He trusted no guy around her accept his brother, father and Mori. After all Hani would never expect them to fall in love and take her away. He had even talked about going to a nearby university so he could still come home to see her. Every night he would check her room to make sure she hadn't left. It was the only thing that truly scared Hani. Mori could not do that to him. He could not take away his little sister.

Mori opened his eyes slowly, realising he must have drifted off to sleep. His shoulder felt sore but, despite the cool breeze, his cheek was warm. Something silky was up against it. Slowly he looked to his shoulder to find Tori soundly asleep, her head on his shoulder. He was sue he hadn't sat that close to her before he had fallen asleep. Her soft hand was gently pushed up against his own and the evening sun made her long hair glisten and her beautiful skin look flawless. Mori's heart skipped a beat and for once he wished he could stay like this a little longer. But it was getting late and Hani would worry.

"Mitsukuni, where are you going?" Yasuchika, Hani's younger brother, asked as Hani pulled on a coat and ran to the door, bunny in hand.
"Takashi and Lil sis aren't back yet. I have to find her..." but as he opened the door Hani was faced with Mori carrying Tori in his arms, whilst her basket hung from his hand.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO LIL SIS!" He cried, tears flowing from his eyes as he screamed.
"she fell asleep." Mori said flatly and Hani calmed down quickly.
"I was worried when I saw she hadn't come back. Thank you for taking care of her Takashi!" Hani smiled before showing Mori to her room. The whole time Mori could not stop gazing at her sleeping face. It was calm, angelic and peaceful. He wished he could watch it every night and wake to it every morning.

After he left the house Hani went back to her room and smiled down at her peaceful face.
"Don't leave. It would make Me and Takashi sad."
