Rating: T at the moment might change later on
Listening to: Lisa Lois – I know who I am
Lisa Lois – Little by Little
Pairing: SE-CR-ET(winks)
Disclaimer: No Ouran High school host club is not mine, if it was I would have scrapped Tamaki somewhere halfway. (evil laugh) "Whaaa….Okaa-san NDebN is being mean." Tamaki clings to Kyoya.
Authors note: Well this story just came to me, it was actually the song Little by Little that started it, but I know who I am was the real fire behind it all since it seems to fit Haruhi. The pairing, well you'll figure this out later on all I can tell you that it won't be HaruhixTamaki since I always feel like punching Tamaki, Tamaki no Baka! Well I have a pairing in mind, people who notice my favorite list on my profile will see that I only really like 2 or 3 pairings XD
This first chapter has gotten pretty long and I must say I'm quite in love with my own story(this is how I feel after typing half the story)…Feel my burning flames of MOE. MOE /o\ MOE
This is my second non Yaoi attempt O.O;
I know who I am – Chapter 1
They say you never see it coming
All the tiny little breaks
But somewhere out beyond no reason
You keep on giving what it takes
~Lisa Lois
You cried silently, not because you were scared not even because you were hurt, the tears just came once in a while. I understood, who better than me could understand you. As soon as it started it was over already, you pushed away the tears smiled and dusted of your clothes. As you walked away it felt like I was losing you, I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I always hoped it was later.

"It's time." Ranka said as he looked at his daughter, "Are you sure you want to continue with this?" Ranka knew it was useless to ask, once she made a promise she would stick with it, just like her mother.
"Yes, I promised them." Haruhi smiled as she corrected the tie on her uniform. 'I wish…I shouldn't even think about wishing.'
"And them, have you told them?" Haruhi's eyes widen as she came to the revelation who that them was, since Ranka meant the Host club.
"it's okay, it's not like we see each other after graduation." Haruhi paused her action and stared into the distance. 'It's not like they are going to miss me,' "It's not like I'm going to miss them." Haruhi knew very well that she was lying to herself.
"Don't be like that, Haruhi, it's okay to be sad." Ranka said it mostly to comfort his own feelings. He didn't want to let Haruhi experience so much pain.
"It's okay, I'm sorry dad, it's okay," 'I'll have to be okay.' Haruhi smiled at her dad with a smile to easy his worries.
"Don't cry, whatever you do don't cry at my graduation, okay?" Haruhi's head tilted a bit to the right as she looked at her dad for confirmation.
"I guess I can do as much as that." Ranka smiled and looked at the picture of his wife. 'Haruhi is so strong, I don't know if I can be as strong as her. Please watch over her.' Ranka prayed for a miracle, prayed that someone might notice.
-
'The graduation for Haruhi was a big deal all her friends knew, she finally could go to the university she wanted and study law. But her friends didn't know the truth, they would never know. She would never tell them and I promised I won't say a word." Ranka looked at her daughter as she got congratulations from her old sempai's.
"My daughter is all grown up now." Wails Tamaki as he hold Haruhi in a death hug. Ranka wants to be angry, 'I guess I could allow it for once.'
"Haru-chan, will you come to visit us in the summer." The happy Honey bounces around Tamaki and Haruhi. Ranka notices the small look of sadness, it was so brief she was sure nobody else noticed.
"I don't know Hani-Sempai, maybe I can." Haruhi smiled at the everlasting happy face that Honey showed her.
"Ha-ru-hi, look we got you a gift." Said the twins in unison as they presented Haruhi's gift, it was a beautiful dress.
"Wow, for once you haven't gone overboard on the dress, thank you very much." Haruhi smiled as she clapped her hands approving.
"Whaaaa…You accept their gift?" Said Tamaki in despair.
"Yes, it's impolite to refuse gifts." Said Haruhi as she shot Tamaki a disapproving glance.
"But you said, no gifts." Wailed Tamaki.
"True but when did you start listening to me." Tamaki got an arrow through his heart and crawled to his corner of gloom.
"Okaa-san, our daughter is mean to me." Wailed Tamaki while making circles on the floor with his finger.
"Well I guess it's time for my gift." Said Kyoya as he gave Haruhi a square like box that was neatly wrapped.
"Okaa-san got her a gift too!??" Tamaki started to grow mushrooms. Kyoya just ignored Tamaki and gave his gift to Haruhi.
"Thank you Kyoya-sempai." Haruhi took the gift and tore the gift wrappings. In her hands she held a box with an lap-top in it, Haruhi had big eyes and flashed Kyoya a beautiful smile filled with gratitude.
"Well I thought you could use it for university, it has all the best software and.." "Thank you, it's perfect." Haruhi cut of Kyoya, Kyoya showed her one of his rare genuine smiles.
"I'm sorry Takashi couldn't be here today, but our gift will certainly make up for it." Honey smiled at Haruhi and held a small box on both his hands. 'Yeah that's right Mori-sempai isn't here, he had to attend a funeral. I'm sorry I can't see him one last time.'
"Thank you Hani-sempai, will you thank Mori-sempai for me too." Said Haruhi as she took the small square box.
"Wha-a-a-a-t!!!" Everybody was shocked as they saw the small box although Kyoya didn't show it he was equal shocked as everybody else was. Haruhi opened the box and smiled.
"You…!" Tamaki came at Honey who was oblivious to what Tamaki was thinking.
"It's a beautiful necklace." Said Haruhi, "I will treasure it."
"It's one of a kind, so you will always know who you are." Said honey as he started to explain the necklace. The necklace was modest like Haruhi liked them, white gold and blue sapphires. Tamaki stopped his action and joined the others that were watching the necklace.
"Why a necklace." Asked Haruhi breathless.
"Well when we were figuring out what kind of present to get you we were kind of at a lost, so we asked our mothers for advice. They told us that special girls should get jewelry, so we ordered a custom made necklace since it would be special. Takashi made the design though." Honey giggled as she saw the surprise on her face, 'I'm glad you like it so much, you are worth getting this since you helped the host club so much.'
Haruhi was happy with all the gifts she had been getting, she had told them they didn't needed to bring gifts. Normally they all wouldn't listen to her, for this once Tamaki had listened to her. But she doubted that Tamaki would have known what to get her if he had brought a gift. The rest of the day was filled with laughter, cake and dancing.
-
A knock on the door made Haruhi snap up from her thoughts. She had been thinking about her friends. Slowly she got up and walked to the door. When she opened the door she saw a man around the thirties in a black suit.
"Are you ready Miss?" the man asked.
"Yes, just give me a moment to say goodbye." Said Haruhi as she sighed, for a moment she hoped they had forgotten about it.
"But Miss we should…" The man stopped his words as he saw her glare.
"I know who I am, do you?" Haruhi asked sharply, but then continued more soft, "Just let me say goodbye and I'll get my things." The man just nodded.
"Haruhi…" said Ranka as Haruhi turned to him.
"I'm sorry Dad." Haruhi hanged her head.
"I am sorry Haruhi, it's not your fault." Ranka hugged Haruhi, Ranka started crying, "If I knew it would have helped anything I would have taken you across the world to keep you safe." Haruhi nodded, she knew he didn't wanted this for her. While her dad was still crying she made him look into her eyes.
"Dad you got to listen to me now. These letters," Haruhi got the letters out of the bag, "They are for them, it tells them I love them and I don't want them to look for me." Ranka nodded as he took the letters from her.
"Make sure they get the letters when they try to look for me, I just know they will come. I will send you letters from time to time just make sure you don't move okay?" Ranka nodded again.
"I love you dad, I will see you again someday." Haruhi said and placed a kiss on his cheek, she turned away got her bags and ran out of the house.
"I love you Haruhi." Haruhi heard her dad yell, but she knew she couldn't stop now else she wouldn't be able to leave. The man held open the door of the limousine and Haruhi jumped in. She looked to the apartment building after the door closed and saw her dad standing there just impassive. Haruhi was happy he couldn't see her tears that were making it down to her chin.
-
"You can't take care of a girl, you are in no state to do that. Look at how you are dressed." Someone spitted.
"But she is my daughter, you have no right to come here and take her away!" Ranka yelled. Haruhi stood near the door and listened quietly.
"You have almost no money, I can't understand what our daughter saw in you. Every judge will agree with us that we are better able to take care of her." It was the same voice, high pitched screechy voice.
"I will fight for her. She is my and Kotoko's daughter!" Yelled Ranka as he stood up.
"Think clearly son, you know she's right, she will have Haruhi removed from you the hard way." Said a different voice that was more soft.
"B-but, she's my daughter I need her." Ranka started crying softly, he didn't want to lose his daughter, not when he lost his wife two years ago.
"Papa is right." Haruhi showed herself to the others in the room. The room went silent as the nine year old Haruhi entered the room.
"Papa needs me, you don't need me yet." Said Haruhi as she hugged her dad. The woman had her hand for her mouth she was shocked cause of how much Haruhi looked like her mother.
"But your father can not take care of you." Said the woman, then she saw Haruhi's sad eyes.
"I will take care of him, he is my papa after all." Haruhi wouldn't hear no for an answer.
"Haruhi." Said Ranka breathless.
"So let me stay with him, until he is strong enough to stand alone. Then I'll come and…" Haruhi stopped talking she just left it as it was.
"Okay you'll have until you graduate from high school." Said the soft male voice as he stood up.
"But Reino…" said the high pitched female voice.
"I want that in writing, none of you can come near me until I graduate." All the faces stared in shock at Haruhi, this wasn't what a nine year old should say.
"Of course, you are so much like my daughter." Said the soft male voice, "You will receive the documents tomorrow." The male and female left the house as Haruhi nodded.
-
Ranka had dragged her feet back to their apartment, of now his apartment. She had been sitting on, half laying on, the table. 'She will be in the air by now. I guess I should call them, I'm glad Haruhi has shown me how to use this thing before she left.' Ranka set up the telephone conference.
"Haruhi." "Haru-chan." Were the many voices Ranka heard as one by one the hosts picked up the phone.
"It's Ranka…" said Ranka and he knew his pain was able to go through the phone.
"Where's Haruhi." They cried in unison, Ranka started crying again.
"We'll be right there." All the men dropped everything as they hurried themselves to Haruhi's apartment.
-
"Ranka-san." They all said as they stumbled into the apartment. Ranka looked at them and motioned them to sit.
"Haruhi has decided to go overseas to study, taken everything except for her phone." Said Ranka as her gaze studied the phone. 'I can't tell them more than this.'
"Why?" asked Kyoya as he studied Ranka who was clearly hiding something.
"I don't know, she left me a letter, like she did for all of you." Ranka put six envelopes on the table. 'I have been practicing to say this for the last year so I should at least seem believable.' Each envelope had a name on it and they each took their envelope. All hesitant to open them.
"You all should read them in private, she must have written them personally for each of you." Said Ranka, reluctant all the hosts left the apartment.
"Kotoko you will forgive me won't you, I just did what she asked me… I'm a useless father." Sobbed Ranka not knowing he had still someone who was watching him.
-
"Grandmother, Grandfather." Haruhi said as she bowed slightly.
"Welcome Haruhi." Said a soft male voice.
To be continued….
Authors note: Meh the first chapter is finished already(cries), this just flowed from my fingers. In my head I already played the storyline about 10 times when I'm not typing. And I know exactly which pairing I want for this story, but I also have to carefully plan my story so it won't be too OOC. But I doubt that I can help becoming a bit OOC since the setting is a bit different then it's normally. It was lovely having you all here, so please review. Well now something totally random. Well I hope you will like it, because somewhere near the end it seems my Haruhi muse left me this is what she said to me:
"You suck."
I was like O.O and then it hit me, evil Kyoko(Skip Beat) had turned into Haruhi and made write this.
"Oh My God, Haruhi is going to kill me."
"Not really, but I might." Tsuruga Ren(skip beat) looks at me evilly.
"Oh nooooooooo~ what have I done." Goes to Tamaki's corner of gloom and pushed him out.
"Okaaa-san~~~~." Wailed Tamaki.
"Well it's all your fault you said you were going to write a Skip Beat fanfic, but instead you made 'this thing'." Ren glares at me.
"I will make it someday…." I sulk and start to grow mushrooms, 'I wonder if I could grow truffles here.'
"No don't change the subject." Ren turns into the evil demon lord.
"IEEP." 'He can read my mind.'
"Let her be, else my family makes sure you will never play in a movie ever again." Kyoya pushes his glasses up his nose bridge.
"Of course I wouldn't hurt her." Smiled Ren his fake smile.
"Thank you Kyoya-kun." I smile.
"That's 10 million yen." Kyoya smirks.
"But that's too much." I gulp, "Well you could always work it off with your body." Kyoya smirks.
"Oh…" I see Kyoya closing in. "Well I guess that will do." I smirk evilly. 'He fell for my plan.'
Kyoya gulps, "Muwhahahahaha." And I drag Kyoya of to a more private spot. "Please don't forget to review."
