His Cinderella

MoriXHaruhi

Chapter 1

Mori POV

I scanned the room hoping to find her but she wasn't here. Mitsukuni was glancing at me over his pieces of cake. "Takashi? What's wrong?" My eyes shot in his direction and I fought to hide my blush…not wanting to admit I'd been looking for Haruhi. "Nothing Mitsukuni," I muttered and he turned back to his cake.

Host Club was about to start but Haruhi was nowhere to be found. "Someone has taken my dearest daughter!" Tamaki-senapi yelled, overreacting as usual. He was more and more worried about Haruhi every time she was a few minutes late and pissed me off. He treated her like shit after Host Club was over…he made her clean up everything and left her alone to do all his work.

Haruhi ran in right before the Club started. "Sorry I'm late guys…a teacher needed some help." Tamaki ran over to her and hugged her. "Thank God you're safe!" He kept fussing over her and she just laughed.

I couldn't help but smile...She was always so helpful and never asked for anything in return. Exactly like Cinderella…Then it hit me. "Tamaki." I said. He looked up at me and replied "What is it Mori senapi" He looked and sounded bored. "I think we should do a play."

His head snapped up suddenly interested, "What did you have in mind?" I took a slight glance at Haruhi. She smiled at me "Yes senapi what did you have in mind!" she asked. I sighed "…Cinderella…Haruhi will be her. The twins will be the step-sisters or brothers…Whichever…Kyo will be narrator."

"What about Prince Charming!" Tamaki asked "I think I should be him!" Haruhi-who had been quiet the whole time-, cleared her throat. "I-I think Mori should play Prince Charming…after all…It WAS his idea…" Tamaki's face fell and he went to go pout in a corner. "My dear daughter doesn't want her Father to be her prince!" he sobbed.

Karou and Hikaru spoke up. "Yes Mori! That is a wonderful idea!" they said "not only would the girls love it but it would be loads of fun!" Hikaru said "and…" Karou added "Mom could make our costumes!" So it was decided. Tamaki was our Step…Father… the twins were the Step…Brothers…-man this was a screwed up 'Cinderella' story! - Kyo our narrator and Haruhi, Cinderella. We all knew how the story went so no script was needed. I just hope this all works out…

~After Host Club~

"Bye Haruhi!" Tamaki said walking out the door "I hope you don't mind cleaning up the place! You're such a good daughter!" He was gone within an instant and Kyo and the twins followed suit.

"Yeah," Haruhi mumbled "I don't mind…" Mitsukuni was finishing up his last piece of cake and the table was a disaster zone. He got up and started to walk out. "You coming Takashi?" he asked, pausing at the door "No Mitsukuni. I am going to stay and help Haruhi." He smiled at me …"Okay Takashi, see you tomorrow." And with that Haruhi and I were alone, left to clean up this disaster.

"Mori-senapi you don't have to stay. I'm used to it…" she said grabbing a wet dishcloth and wiped down Mitsukuni's table. "I'll be done in a minute. No worries!" she smiled and my heart melted.

Keeping my calm composure I said "No…it isn't fair. I'm going to stay and help you Haruhi." and started up the vacuum cleaner. We started talking about the play. When I finally got the courage I asked "Haruhi…? What made you think I should be Prince Charming?" "H-Huh?" she was so surprised at my question that she hit her head on bottom of the table she was under. "Ow…" she muttered.

I ran over to her and sat her down in a nearby chair. "Are you okay Haruhi?" I asked. She smiled again and said "Yeah, just fine! Thanks…oh and about your question…" she paused "I…don't know. It wasn't fair for Tamaki to take credit for your idea."

I didn't know what was happening but suddenly my fingers were intertwined with hers. I blushed and she pulled away. "Uh…sorry Haruhi." She laughed "it's okay senapi." We finished cleaning the Music Room and we were about to leave. "Well…see you tomorrow Mori." she said picking up her backpack and started to walk out. "Haruhi wait! Do you mind if I walk home with you?" I don't know why I said that but it just slipped.

"Sure Mori-senapi. Are you sure it won't be an issue with your family?" she asked. I sighed "They won't even know I'm gone…" and that was true. My family was completely oblivious of my existence. The only person who really cared if I came home was Mitsukuni.

So I walked her home and when we got to her apartment she turned around to face me. "Thank you Mori-senapi. Um…would you mind staying for awhile? Dad shouldn't be home for awhile and I'll be really bored." I swear my heart almost stopped. "Sure Haruhi." So we stepped inside her house and sat down. We talked for a long time. It turns out we had a lot in common.

My feelings for Haruhi became overpowering- stupid teenage hormones… She looked at me and smiled. I couldn't help myself and I leaned down and kissed her. Surprisingly she didn't pull away. "Haruhi! I'm h-" We both blushed and pulled away. "Uh….hi Dad."
