Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High Scholl Host Club
Once upon a time, there were three main families. Two were competitive and successful business families, the third a poor family consisting of only a father and a daughter. It was at the ending of another story that the two families were going to fight for the hand of the girl to marry their sons. But this is the story of how somehow this same girl ended up engaged to both sons, simply because her father didn't listen carefully to an agreement he unknowingly made with consent for his daughter's hand.
"Sorry I'm late guys." Haruhi said running in the doors to the club room to find it scarce. "I guess I'm the first one here."
"No we're here." Hikaru's voice chuckled when Haruhi looked around.
"Where?" Haruhi sighed.
"Just around," Kaoru's voice joined in.
"You guys are just playing around aren't you?"
"Indubitably," The two said in unison as they suddenly appeared on either side of her.
"Whoa! Where did you guys come out from?!"
"We were only behind that curtain." The twins pointed out over to the curtain that hid all the old instruments of the previous music room.
"Where's everyone else?"
"Kyoya-senpai, Mori-senpai and Hunny-senpai went to go and take care of some of the props we ordered in for today's cosplay while Tamaki went to go take care in getting your dress for today's cosplay." Kaoru answered.
"Cosplay," Haruhi groaned. "Why can't this club just dress normally?"
"Because then we wouldn't be as popular." Hikaru laughed energetically. "Besides, Tamaki said that you told him you liked the club yourself so no complaining." Haruhi rolled her eyes knowing he was right as she started making instant coffee for the blub today remembering that it had been two weeks. Since that all in one day the Host Club ended, Tamaki became engaged, almost moved to France, Haruhi went to rescue him, and the Club was reinstated and they ended up actually having a fun night at the fair. Things were calm for a while, until now that is; since they were doing the first cosplay since the parade they did.
"When I said I liked the club, I meant that I liked the people in it, not that we dress up and look ridiculous."
"You still have to do it." The twins pointed out and grinned cheekily.
"Unfortunately, what's the cosplay?"
"Why, a magnificent show of knights!" An over dramatic voice interrupted.
"Didn't we already do that?"Haruhi sighed as she reached up in the cabinets, getting down cups and saucers to have out for today's guests. Once her hands were free from the expensive china, she was pulled away into a tight embrace.
"Haruhi! We did that once, but this is different!" Tamaki wined eagerly, the blonde pulling her up flush against him. "You are the fair princess who is the prize of the champion in the joust!"
"Please tell me you guys aren't all going to joust." Haruhi muttered into his chest in which he was pressing her up against.
"Of course not, that's just the story I came up with just now!"
"Congradulations!" The twins cheered giving him thumbs up.
"Do I have to dress up like a princess?"
"Yes, you do. After all, now the secrets out that you are a girl, we can't have you growing up a cross dresser. Besides all the girls still like to have you to chat with, so please…wear this." Tamaki pouted holding up the floor length navy dress and giving Haruhi the one look she couldn't resist, the puppy eyes.
"Fine," Haruhi huffed with no options left, considering she still had debt to pay back. Taking the dress she held it up against her, the long sleeves would trail past her hands and it wasn't low cut, but once she put it on it would be noticeable she was a female.
"Off to the changing room Haruhi." Hikaru shooed with a wave of his hand.
"We'll handle preparing the coffee and such." Kaoru added as the brunette shrugged and went back to put on the dress. Pulling the draw curtain of the changing room shut she set the dress on the stool placed in there as she began loosening her tie, when she heard a small 'creak' echo through the hall of changing stalls.
"Is someone there?" She asked, when she paused from her tie and pulled aside the curtain to find the room bare, and the door to the music room only open ajar. Sighing at her childish superstition, she pulled the curtain shut again and was about to turn when a sudden cloth was placed over her mouth and nose. An arm wrapped around her torso and pushed her up against a hard chest, one that was probably twice her own size, though she still attempted to fight against him. The cloth was pressed up harder against her, when something sweet started over coming her senses.
She was starting to feel unusually happy and easy not seeing a need to fight this man she only feel gently on the ground, although he caught her in his arms. Feeling sleepy, her eyes drifted shut.
Meanwhile in the other room
"Don't you find it a little odd Boss?" Hikaru asked. Once Haruhi left his carefree façade melted away to the seriousness he was really thinking of inside.
"What's so odd?"
"That Haruhi's gender was revealed and that there are no repercussions of it." Kaoru pointed out. Tamaki paused from stirring the content of instant coffee that he was making for himself, and set the spoon down.
"I've noticed, but to be clear, we aren't talking about students reactions are we?" He asked taking a sip.
"No." The twins said in perfect unison.
"It just feels like nothing big has changed, like the school knew all along about Haruhi."
"For all we know they could have Hikaru." A cool voice interrupted. The two twins turned although Tamaki didn't need to look up in order to recognize his best friend's voice. Kyoya walked in casually with his notebook in hand, with Mori and Hunny following in carrying the six swords ordered for today's events.
"Kyoya-senpai you have to agree that this is a little strange." Kaoru sighed rubbing his fingers over his eyes from thinking too heavily on the subject.
"True, although what is the strangest I'm sure we all agree, is that with Haruhi keeping her secret for so long, you would figure she would be expelled."
"So what does that mean Kyoya?" Tamaki asked calmly.
"For now nothing, we have no idea what the Chairman might be up to now."
"Has Haru-chan tried on the dress yet?" Hunny piped up, trying to change the subject.
"Now that you mention it, it shouldn't take that long for her to change into that should it?" Hikaru asked turning to look at the clock.
"Yeah, she's been in there a long time."
"Haruuuhi! Time to come out 'Daddy' is waiting to see you!" Tamaki called as the twins snickered. After the events from the fair, Tamaki had stopped calling himself a father or anybody of the club the family member he specified them with. The six of them waited a few moments, expecting to hear Haruhi say how ridiculous it was for them to dress like this, but there was only silence.
"Haru-chan?" Hunny asked walking closer to the door to the changing room. The others followed in, to see Hunny crawling around on the tile checking under each curtain, to only move past the last one. "She's not here." He muttered so seriously, it was a surprise that it was actually Hunny.
"What do you mean?!" Hikaru shouted. "How could she have left if the three of us were by the only door?!"
"She left by window." Mori pointed out to the only window in the room.
"But why would she leave?!"
"Could it be from the dress Boss gave her?" Kaoru asked, as the two twins turned to Tamaki with evil looks.
"It's probably your fault she left!" They accused at Tamaki. But instead of turning to his corner of woe, Tamaki didn't go into a fit of dramatic turmoil.
"Don't be ridiculous, Haruhi wouldn't run away on account of a dress." Kyoya huffed and adjusted his glasses. "Pull aside the curtains and we'll find which stall she was in."
"Why does that matter?" The twins asked in a snobby tone to only feel the glare of the Shadow King upon them. Each of them pulling aside an empty curtain, Hikaru pulled aside one and gasped.
"There's only the dress in here." He pointed out in a disappointed tone, while Mori loomed over him to look in the stall. On the stool was the dress, but something caught his keen eye. Kneeling down he picked up a small black piece. He held it out for all to see, although Kyoya picked it up instantly recognizing it.
"This is an ear piece, one that many trainees such as my own use."
"So that means…" Hikaru trailed off but Kyoya still nodded to him.
"Yes, Haruhi has apparently been kidnapped." There was a moment of silence, the two who apparently held Haruhi the closest of all were both in shock as they repeated the news again to themselves. "I'll call a squad to form a search party for her."
Tamaki slumped against the wall, feeling suddenly unbalanced as he heard the news again and again. Haruhi was in trouble. What if she called for help? What if while she was dragged out, if she thought so scared and he wasn't there to protect her or save her just as she had done him.
"What the…" Kyoya muttered pulling his phone away from his ear.
"What's wrong Kyo-chan?" Hunny said glumly as Kyoya began re-entering a number put it against his ear. After a minute he pulled the phone away as an angry scowl spread across his face.
"The number I have for the Ootori squad is invalid; they aren't taking calls or orders from me."
"Still?!" Hikaru yelled. "Your father still made it so they still won't listen to you?!"
"No! After the fair the authority was positioned back over to me, but now they were given orders again to not listen to me."
"So now what do we do? Haruhi's life may be on the line and because of your father we can't do anyth-" Hikaru's yelling was cut short by Kyoya's phone ringing again as he looked at the I.D.
"It's my father now."
"Yes sir, we got the girl you wanted." A voice said. Haruhi was unsure whose; being unable to open her eyes or move she was now only relying on her hearing. She was still coming to, only remembering being jumped by a man. Probably the one talking. She reasoned as she listened closely in hopes to hear why she was kidnapped.
"The woman you sent did in fact dress her in what you had sent."
What the hell?! They changed my clothes?! Haruhi yelled in her head trying everything to move with no prevail.
"The drug we used worked like a charm, the girl's in a deep and peaceful sleep."
Was. Haruhi mentally corrected.
"Look, she won't be able to get away before you and your son get here. She's still asleep and patrols are all over the place. Not like we need them, with that drug still in her body, she won't even be able to sit up for hours."
There goes chance for escape. But why is it so important for his son to get here? There was yelling as Haruhi could only pick up was static from a speaker of sorts.
"Fools, she doesn't need to be paralyzed! Now it just looks complicated." Another voice shouted with an angry sigh.
Complicated isn't the right word to describe kidnapping me and drugging me that would be sick.
"I understand…yes sir…yes sir." There was a small slap, like a cell phone being shut. "Alright time to wake her up." With no other response it was only an assumption that he was alone with Haruhi, giving her a small chill up her spine. There was a small amount of moment as footsteps drew closer to her. She felt a hand grip her shoulder and a small gentle shake run through her body.
"Miss? Can you hear me?" The man asked giving her another shake. "Man he's going to be mad when he gets here."
Haruhi only assumed it was this man's boss, the one who he was apparently on the phone with. In the distance a small shot rang out, but was perfectly audible to them. The man's shaking stopped as his grip fell away from her shoulder. His heavy footsteps moved past her, when she heard something pushed up. Once cool air blew in, Haruhi realized he opened a window. Everything was quiet for a few moments when another gun shot went off in the distance.
"Group A, go check the Eastern perimeter; B go check the Western; C I want a guard at every possible entrance way." The man ordered. There was a small amount of static as there were three different responses of 'roger'.
I hate not being able to open my eyes. Haruhi thought trying to move again. This time she was lucky to see a brief amount of light, but still was unable to open her eyes completely.
"Is there any sign of an intruder?" He asked when there was silence. "Do you see anyone who fired those shots?" He asked again.
"C, send out two scouts to check on the other groups." He ordered. "Whoever was out there couldn't have just up and disap-" He was cut off by another shot, though this one was from right outside the room.
"Get the girl." A cool and collective voice ordered. Arms wrapped under Haruhi, and lifted her up easily and twice in one day she was kidnapped again.
The five hosts waited for Kyoya who was still on the phone with his father. He hadn't been on long, but was not a loud to speak at the moment. Shutting the phone, Kyoya looked off out the window.
"My father wants to see me. So I have to go."
"This isn't the time?! Haruhi's gone!" Hikaru shouted pounding his fist on the table.
"And I can't do anything about it now! If I go talk to my father than he can send out a squad to search for her, until then there's nothing I can do." Kyoya said harshly as he moved around them and left the room with the door closing loudly behind him.
"Kyoya's right," Tamaki whispered softly placing a hand over his face. "We have no trace to where she could be or who took her. We need the help of Mr. Ootori's authority over trainees to help find her."
"Boss," Hikaru gritted through his teeth and faced away from him.
"We better call Ranka and tell him what happened." Tamaki said calmly as he pulled out his own cell phone. Just as he was about to enter in the number of Haruhi's home number, he received an incoming call.
"Father?" He answered to the call.
"I've told you before that name's to casual, but that doesn't matter. Tamaki, there will be a car waiting outside of school for you now. You will be coming to the main estate immediately."
"The main estate?"
"Yes, your grandmother and I have business we want to discuss with you."
"I'm in the middle of a crisis with my friend Father."
"This is a direct order from the Chairman and the President Tamaki. Trust me, you want to come." The other line went dead and Tamaki shut the phone and slid it into his pocket.
"Now my father wants to see me." He muttered turning to the others.
"You to?" Hunny asked holding Usa-chan tighter to his chest.
"Yes, he says it's important for me to come. You go home, and I'll try and get in touch with Kyoya." Tamaki said grabbing his school bag and running out the door.
As his father promised a chauffeur was waiting outside with the door open for Tamaki to enter the car. Sliding in the seat, the driver got in and drove off. Tamaki looked out the window at the passing trees as they left the campus of Ouran Acadamy. After waiting for years to be invited to see the main estate, his mind could now care less for the matter. If not for Haruhi, he wouldn't be here today, but off in France engaged to Éclair.
Though obvious to the other members of the club besides Haruhi it was now a true realization for him. He loved her. No longer as a father, since that night he stopped calling her 'daughter', but he loved her as a man. He wanted her safe and now he wasn't able to protect her. His hand clenched into a fist on his pant leg as he looked up at the sky. Please be safe Haruhi. Be safe until I can get to you.
The rest of the drive, Tamaki tried to focus on anything but the fact that Haruhi was missing. He began even scrolling through the pictures on his cell phone, a bad idea since Haruhi was basically in all of them and it only panged his heart more wondering what she was being put through.
"We're here Master Tamaki." The driver announced, as a valet opened the door for him. Giving him a nod of thanks, Tamaki looked up at the large mansion that was probably triple the size of the second estate where he lived.
"Tamaki." The said blonde looked up at his father's stern face but still managed to pull on a smile no matter how much the man intimidated him.
"Yes Father."
"How many times must I ask you to stop calling me that."
"It's what you are." Yuzuru actually chuckled as he opened the front door.
"The Chairman is what I am to, but come we have some things to discuss." Tamaki nodded and trotted up the steps as he followed his father inside. He restrained himself from looking around with complete awe like a child and kept in pace alongside his father.
"Is it something really this urgent?"
"Yes it is, considering your stunt with the Fujioka girl, I've had quite a talk with your grandmother about this." Yuzuru went on leading the way to the staircase. "Rejecting the fiancé your grandmother selected for you was a risky move Tamaki. I would know, because I did the exact same thing. But luckily, you have something I didn't have, an actual father to stick up for you."
Tamaki really wanted to hug his father at the moment hearing him say it. He really wanted a father-son bonding moment that he had always been rejected to as a child.
"After some discussion with your grandmother, we finally came to a middle ground, one I'm sure you will support. We've selected another fiancée for you Tamaki, one that has excellent charisma and dare I say it spunk. She seems one that your grandmother finds a suitable and responsible mathch for her 'useless grandson'."
"Why do you have to repeat the cruel words of Grandmother?" Tamaki whimpered as they approached a door. "What's behind the door?"
"Your fiancée." Yuzuru huffed as he adjusted his die.
"I'll deny this fiancée as I did the last one Father, I'm not going to marry someone who denies myself as who I am as you and Grandmother do."
"Trust me Tamaki, this one you won't reject." Yuzuru reached for the handle and swung open the door to one of the bedrooms as Tamaki froze at the one who lay on the bed.
"Haruhi?!"
