It was a cold winter day and Haruhi didn't show up at school. The members of the host club couldn't get ahold of her by phone, mail or anything. When the king, Tamaki, made the suggestion to visit the Fujioka home, no one objected. Among visiting the home, the land lady of he house aproached them.
"Oh! It's you boys, your Haruhi's friends from school right?" She asked.
Tamaki walked up to her in a princely way, "Yes and your her lovely land lady correct?"
She blushed, "Well not anymore." She smiled and giggled at his charm.
"Anymore?" The club members were confused. "Are you no longer the land lady of this building?" Tamaki asked.
Now the woman had a confused expression, "I still am. You don't know?" she asked them.
"Know what?" Kaoru asked.
"Oh, I thought you'd know..."
"I'm sorry, but what should we know?" Hikaru asked.
"Well, the Fujioka family no longer lives here." She pointed to an empty home.
The club members gasped for a second. "You mean Haru-chan moved out of here?" Honey asked with a sad face.
"Yes, they left yesturday actually, seemed to be in a hurry to catch their plane." The land lady told them.
"Plane? Haruhi doesn't have a passport." Kyouya mentioned.
"Where did they go? Do you know?" Tamali asked with much urge in his voice.
She stood there and thought about it, "Hmm... Well I'm not sure actually. When I tried to ask them about it they only said, 'Some where pretty far' and that I shouldn't worry." She then thought more and remembered something else, "Oh! Thats right, they were going to stay at Mrs. Fujioka's sister home."
The guys stood there in shock at the mention of Haruhi's mother. "Haruhi's aunt?" Kyouya questioned.
"I'm sorry boys, thats all I know."
"Thank you my dear, you were very helpful." Tamaki said then turned to the guys, leaving a blushing middle aged woman to her thoughts.
Walking to the car all the guys were trying to put the pieces together. "She left without a word to her aunts house who live far away?" Hikaru questioned.
"Theres got to be a reason. Kyouya, check the airports. Hikaru, Kaoru, look into Haruhi's mothers family. Honey and Mori senpai, investigate people about seeing them. We need answers men." Tamaki gave out orders.
"Right!" They all replied.
It's been five years since Haruhi left in the middle of her second year of high school, and the club members never found out why. By this time Haruhi and the twins would be around 21 and in the middle of their third year in college. Kyouya and Tamaki around 22 and Mori and Honey around 23. The past hosts were always worried and curious about what happend to their secret princess, but they never found much info since she was at ouran. Not even Kyouya could find much on what happend to her.
By the end of high school for the twins, they all kind of put the whole thing to rest. Every now and then they'll look into it, but not so often, because they mostly want to forget. Known of them really have much time on their hands to meet up, but they still do.
On a cold cloudy and white day the gang met up in a college cafe. They sat next to a big glass window with the perfect view of a beautiful fountain that only runs in the spring, fall, and summer. It was winter, but the white little snow complimented the fountains art work. They all chatted up a storm on how their lives were going.
"Yeah but I got this new game idea tha'll blow your minds!" Hikaru told them.
"Whats it going to be about?" Honey asked.
"Well actually-" Hikaru was saying, then they all paused when they heard a man walk past their table.
"Fujioka? I'll be right there!" He said on the phone. "Are you outside?"
Automatically all six of their heads turned to the window in disbelief. A slender girl with long brown hair and wide brown eyes was standing next to the fountain. She wore a blue winters jackets and a lighter blue skirt with white leggings and snow boots. It was without a doupt their lost princess.
The man who said "Fujioka" ran up to her while she waited in the snow next to the fountain. "Theres no way, is there?" Hikaru broke the silence.
"It's really her.." Tamaki stood up to go after her, but Kyouya stopped him. "What are you doing Kyouya!?"
"We need a plan, you can't just run up to her idiot!" He told him. Then he motioned for some of his gaurds to follow her and keep a close eye on her. "But she has matured.."
"Her hair is so long" Honey said.
"She looks nice." Mori added.
"I can't belive we found her" Kaoru said.
Meanwhile with Haruhi. Haruhi was walking down the park with her friend Shoyo. He had black hair and brown eyes. "So where do you want to go?" He asked her.
"I was thinking the library actually. Theres a book I wanted to check out." She explained.
"Sure, whats it about?"
She didn't answer for awhile, "Well..." She started, "It's about a girl who runs away from her problems, but returns years later for the one she loves."
Shoyo thought about it as it processed in his head. "Does she end up with the guy?"
"I don't, that why I want to read it." Haruhi laughed.
"Right," Shoyo laughed too. "But its not the kind of book you usually read."
"It's a good change in pace."
Later that night Haruhi made it home to a fancy apartment where he dad was making dinner. "Hi dear, how was your day? Whats Shoyo up too?" Ronka asked.
"It was normal like usual, Shoyo is pretty busy in the economics department, I invited him for dinner but he can't. Its a surprise he had time to see me today." Haruhi told her dad as she changed out of her cloths in another room.
"I see.. Poor boy, working himself to death. If it wasn't for you he'd probably live in his lab." Ronka laughed. "But you used to be like that too until you went to Ouran."
"Wow, nostalgic, you haven't mentioned the past in a long time. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't dad." Haruhi set the table.
Rnka served the food and they began to eat together. "So, your aunt said its about time."
Haruhi looked up in shock. "I'm only 21! It's not time."
"But she made the point that your already top in your law class and already have offers even thoug your only a junior." Ronka said stuffing his mouth with rice.
"Yeah, but only because of the training she put me through. I'm not ready for this, please tell her to put it off a few more years." Haruhi told him.
"Well, you know its not up to me or you. I'm sorry for this. I wish I could've done more for you." Ronka suddenly had guilt and became depressed.
"It's not you fault dad!" Haruhi tried to reassure him. "I chose this, I agreed for an arranged marriage! Aunty helped us ALOT, it's the least I could do for our family. But she said I'd be free until I was 25! I'm only 21, I can't get married yet."
"I'm sure it'll all be fine. I have a long day tomorrow, so I'm going to bed first." Ronka kissed Haruhi on the haed.
"I'll clean up, night dad."
Flash back
Haruhi was comforting her father while he cried in her arms. "I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything for you..." He muttered over and over.
"It's ok dad, it's fine."
"Even though you got a scholarship, I still couldn't save us from being bankrupt."
"We'll just have to go with plan B" Haruhi said as she rubbed her fathers back, "We'll call Aunty..." Haruhi's aunt never really like Ronka.
Haruhi's Aunt married a rich man and she was laoded. Haruhi's aunts name was Sakura Usui. Sakura lived in America with her husband and urged for Haruhi to live with her, but Haruhi always refused. Now her and her father were in a tight spot.
Haruhi called her and they were forced to leave Japan imediately. Sakura then made Haruhi cut all ties she had in Japan. And with her money she made sure none of Haruhi's highschool friends could find her. The agreement Haruhi had with her aunt was that Sakura would help haruhi with education and to become a great lawyer, and also help Ronka become successful even if he liked to dress like a woman, in exchange Haruhi would have an arranged marriage with who ever Sakura picked.
Haruhi agreed and now Ronka has a great job, Haruhi is top in her class and they moved back to Japan and live in a fancy apartment.
End of flashback
The next day Kyouya was pissed. His guards lost sight of Haruhi and never found where she lived. Apparently Haruhi's Aunt had put secret body guards to watch Haruhi as well.
"Those damn fools!" Kyouya yelled in frusturation.
"We'll find her now that we know shes around here some where." Tamaki assured everyone.
"Right." The twins said seriously.
Suddenly Tamaki got a phone call. "Hello?" It was from his father. "Huh? Tomorrow? Who? Ok, ok! Got it. ok bye." He hung up. "My father has invited us all to dinner tomorrow. Our parents will be there and we should look our best." Tamaki announced.
They all looked confused at eachother.
The next night they all met up in Ouran High school's ball room. "This sure brings back memories." Hikaru said.
"Like when Haru-chan learned to dance!" Honey mentioned.
In the middle was a long dining table set up infront of a stage set up for a performance. The young men sat next to the one parent that showed up. The twin's mother. Mori's father and Honey's father. Kyouya's father and tamaki's dad.
"So whats up dad?" Tamaki asked. The chairman then snapped his fingers and Ronka walked out from behind the stage. "Ronka!?" Tamaki stood up. "What are you doing here?"
"This is my secratary!" The chairman laughed. Ronka was dressed in ladies clothse and looked a good as ever. "He's been working for me for little over a year."
"Ronka it's a pleasure to see you again." Kyouya said. The rest of the member greeted him, biting their lips so they don't ask about Haruhi.
"It's so great to see you all again! It's been far too long!" He smiled. "Now I've prepared tonights entertainment. "I hope you all enjoy your meal."
The food was being served and music started to play and a few dancers came out along with singers. The quests talked among them selve leaving the young men to question why there was a dinner being held. Then Ronka came out about an hour later.
"Alright, this will be the last performance of the night and we'll get down to business."
A girl with curly brown hair came out with a butterfly mask on and a dazzling blue dress on came out. The guitar started to play. (the song is Please dont say you love me by Gabrielle)
during the song Ronka place a folder infront of Tamaki, kyouya, Hikaru and Kaoru. They were marriage folders. "Whats this?" Hikaru asked his mom in disbelief.
"You've all been chosen to have an arranged marriage." The chairman told them.
"Isn't it great!?" The twin's mother yelled with glee.
"My sons ingaged so he doesn't get one, a real shame." Said the head of the Honinozuka clan.
"And mines in a serious relationship." Said the of the Morinozukas.
"That leave the rest of you." Mr. Otori said. "Shes an axceptional young lady."
"Who?" Tmaki was about to open the folder but the chairman stopped him.
"The girl on stage is the one in the folders." Ronka pointed. As soon as she was done singing she walked down to face everyone. "Ok, now you can open them!"
They opend it only to see their lost princess. "Haruhi Fujioka..." Kyouya read outloud.
"No way!" Kaoru said surprised.
Haruhi took off her mask and bowed. "It's an honor to be represnted for both the Fujioka and Usui families."
"Usui?" Tamaki was confused.
"Yes, you see Haruhi's aunt is Sakura Usui. They represent a lot of fantastic lawyers and the heir has relunctantly refused them. So Miss Fujioka has agreed to take the place." The chairman explained.
"Yes, she is a brilliant child, and her Aunts business would be very useful." Mr. Otori pointed out.
"Isn't this grand? The best part is that you all already know her!" Mrs. Hitachin said.
"Please, continue with your meal." Haruhi said.
"Is it already time?" Ronka looked at his watch. "Oh my, it's late, you should hurry."
"I do apologize, but I have a prier engagement with a friend." Haruhi turned and walked away. Leaving the men with wide eyes.
Haruhi left the school to meet up with Shoyo. They had plans for dinner that night while the old club members thought about an arranged marriage.
The next day Haruhi woke up to her father humming and serving breakfast. "Whats up?"
"I'm very pleased with who your aunt picked for you!" He said with a smile.
"I can't believe this!" She suddenly remembered who her partners were. "Anyone but them..." Haruhi put her face on the table.
"It's not so bad. They seem to have matured."
"You think?"
"Well, do you want to know who agreed to the marriage?" Ronka said hold up letters. "Thats what I'm scared of..."
Ronka gave the letters to her and told her. "The twins backed out, saying it wasn't fair for either of them. Wonder what that means. Tamaki was hesitant but he agreed, saying if they didn't say yes, you'd be offered to some stranger. Lastly, Kyouya."
Haruhi looked up, "He said no, right?"
"He said yes."
"Why!?" Haruhi asked in shock.
"I think he said It'd be interesting and that you have more to give then most girls. Something about gaining something." Ronka told her. "Tamaki wasn't too happy about it either."
