_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was September in Tokyo, Japan again. Mori and Honey graduated last year and working there businesses from afar. Tamaki and Kyouya are on there final year here. Hikaru, Kaoru and I are only in 2nd year now at the Ouran Private Academy.

But alot has happened.. I don't know how I can go home without remembering--

" Oi, Haruhi. Done daydreaming yet? " Hikaru spoke and Haruhi snapped from her daze. " H- huh? " she stuttered for a moment. Hikaru and Kaoru laughed. " Class ended like 10 minutes ago. Its lunch now. Your normally not so spaced out. Whats up? " Hikaru stated. His face looking slightly concerned. Kaoru joined in the convo as well. " Yeah Haruhi. You okay? " Their eyes showed a bit of concern.

Haruhi just shook her head. Indicating no. " I'm fine. Really guys. There is nothing to worry about. " She spoke. Letting that white lie roll off her tongue. Kaoru just shrugged. Hikaru didnt buy it. But let it go, for now.. Kaoru, sensing the tension changed the subject. " Hey how about we all go eat lunch. Im starving. " He smiled fakely. Taking Hikaru and Haruhi's arms, he dragged them to the cafeteria before they could continue that tense conversation.

---------------------------------

Hikaru sat at his desk, it being middle of science class. Last class of the day, before Host Club activities begin. He looked over to Haruhi looking at her expression. Her cheeks slightly red. A sad look in her eyes also looking red a bit as if she was crying. And she was slouched over. Hikaru continued taking notes in science class and decided to confront her after club activities.

The Bell rang loud within the building. Students leaving there classes. Haruhi was asleep on her desk. Worry and sorrow showing a bit more. Hikaru held a concerned look in his eyes as Kaoru came over to see her. They looked at it each other. And nodded. We will confront her later. They both thought. Shaking her awake, Haruhi shot up from her desk. She turned to look at the two boys.

Hikaru spoke softly. " Its time we go to the Host Club Haruhi." Haruhi only nodded groggily and collected her things. Kaoru tapped her shoulder and she turned to look at the twins. " Can we speak to you after the club closes down for the day, Haruhi? " Kaoru asked politely. Haruhi sensed suspicion but dismissed it quickly. " Sure Kaoru, Hikaru. " She replied trying to sound as normal as possible. Her tone of voice felt like it would quaver and stutter. But she swallowed the lump in her throat and followed the two teen boys to the abandoned Music Room.

---------------------------------- ( not going into detail of club activities)

As the ladies dispersed, the hosts cleaned up and gathered there things. Hikaru and Kaoru were waiting at the door for Haruhi. Hikaru looked at the omnious dark sky. Black clouds..? he thought. He looked over to Kaoru. " Should we invite Haruhi over? it looks like it's gonna storm tonight. " He stated. Kaoru nodded. " Yes we should. Maybe we can also learn about what's bugging her." He replied.

A few school girls walked past, Hikaru and Kaoru hearing there conversation.

" Did you hear about the commoner that was murdered last night? " One girl spoke.

" Yes, I heard it was horrible! They say it was a transvestite male. Who also has a daughter our age. I feel sorry for her that she lost her father. " the other girl said sorrowfully.

Something clicked in both Hikaru and Kaoru's head. Eye's growing wide. They faced each other. " Do you think?--- " Kaoru questioned. Hikaru glared. " I hope not. Then that would mean Haruhi would be in--- " Hikaru couldnt finish. For Haruhi arrived. " In what Hikaru? " She asked suspiciously. Hikaru turned red slightly. "I - In the highest spot in class. " He spoke quickly making the excuse believable. Then he remembered. " Oh yeah Haruhi. Kaoru told me there was a storm coming tonight, Would you like to stay at our mansion? " Haruhi looked at the skies fear tinting her deep brown eyes." Sure Hikaru.. Thanks." She sighed. Kaoru perked up. " Well why dont we go by your place and pick up some stuff? " He asked. Haruhi answered almost immediately nearly yelling. " No! uh.. I cant go home. I forgot my key and . D-dad's outta town.." She stuttered. Looking down. Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged serious glances.

---------------------------------------------------

Haruhi had changed into a dress night gown, and was staying overnight,

it was raining harshly at 8pm. Friday night inside the Hitachiin Mansion.

Hikaru and Kaoru lead Haruhi to there room where the locked it behind them. Haruhi looked at them suspiciously. " Why did you lock the door. Hikaru? Kaoru?"

Hikaru gestered Haruhi to sit down. Haruhi sat down on there bed. Hikaru and Kaoru stood infront of her.

Hikaru spoke up first. " We want to know what's going on Haruhi. Your normally not this fidgety, and normally not looking so sad. We are your friends! So why aren't you telling us whats wrong?! " He nearly yelled but his tone of voice was surprisingly soft in his angry mood. From the conversation he and Kaoru heard. He didn't want to over due it and make her upset. Walking closer to her. he sat down beside her on her right side.

Kaoru began to speak too. " Haruhi, your body, appearance and attitude says it all. Obviously something is bugging you. We want you to tell us, so that we can help you. " He too, came closer and sat down beside her on her left side.

Haruhi's eyes widened at the twins. " There is nothing w-wrong. " But her voice cracked. She winced slightly at there stare. Hikaru began to frown. " Yes there is. " He whispered. Kaoru nodded in agreement. " We heard a bunch of girls speak about a murder in the commoner area. A transvestite male was killed and he had a daughter our age. Haruhi... was your father killed? " He asked it straight out. Lightning flashed brightly in the backround and she jumped slightly. Tears forming in her eyes. She answered ever so quietly. " Y-yes.. my f-father was murdered.. " Thunder clashing in the backround she quivered. Hikaru embraced her. Feeling his shirt get wet from her tears. He held a sad look on his face and Kaoru looked sadly at her. " Haruhi, you are to stay here, with us. That murderer might come back for you. You can stay in this room with Hikaru, I dont mind moving rooms. " Kaoru sugguested. Hikaru's eyes widened. " Kaoru...." Haruhi felt pain twinge at her fragile heart. " there is enough room for all 3 of us you know. " Hikaru stated flatly. " Haruhi only nodded in agreement not minding. Kaoru held a small smile towards the two and joined in the hug. Lightning and thunder clashed loudly and Haruhi was whimpering. Both the twin's hold on her tightened. Tears streaming down there faces, seeing her in such pain.. Caused them pain too. The three remained there crying, soon falling to a deep sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------

The storm flew past and it was deep into morning hours. Hikaru and Kaoru will still holding Haruhi tight. All three of them fast asleep. The twin maids came into the room took a trumpet, and a photo took pics of them asleep. One of the blew the trumpet and took pics of there shocked faces. " Mrs. Hitachiin wishes to see you three. " They spoke at the same time.

Getting up and to go see, Mrs. Hitachiin. Hikaru, Haruhi, and Kaoru went down the stairs to another room groggily. Well.. Hikaru was carrying Haruhi. There mother, Yuzuha. In her fashionable and comfortable glory. Sitting on one of the chairs inside the room.

Her eyes held a weird glare at Hikaru and Kaoru. Since Hikaru was carrying Haruhi, who apprently was in a dress like sleeping gown. " Hikaru..Kaoru.. I really hope you didnt do anything to that girl when she was sleeping." Hikaru and Kaoru turned Red. Really red. Hikaru, placing Haruhi to her feet. Spoke alongside his brother. " NO! WE WOULDNT DO SUCH A THING! " They screamed on the top of there lungs. Haruhi just laughed. Yuzuha smiled, then looked over grimly to Haruhi.

" Haruhi, I have some information, that you may wish to know about. Do you want me to tell you them now or later? " She asked carefully. Haruhi's eyes grew a it wider. Hikaru and Kaoru drifted there attention to their mother completely. " Now would be nice please. " She answered knowing she would regret much later.

Yuzuha looked over to her sons. " Hikaru. Kaoru." They answered. " Hai!" Saluteing. " I want you to be in the other room, I need to speak to Haruhi. Alone. "

They gluped slightly and fled from the room immdiately. Closing the door behind them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaoru leaned against the wall, as Hikaru paced back and forth in the large hallway.

The door creaked open. Kaoru sprung off the wall and Hikaru stopped in place. Their mother stepped out of the room with a straight face. They could hear Haruhi's quiet sobs in the other room. They moved to get in, but Yuzuha blocked there way. " Mother.. what did you say to Haruhi?" They spoke simultaneously.

" Im gonna tell you boys, what I told her. And I want you to protect her and for her to remain here until the murderer is out of Japan. " Hikaru's stare hardened. Kaoru's did same. Yuzuha began to speak.

................" The murderer is coming after Haruhi now...."
