1: In the Midst of Thunder and Rain

Haruhi slid open the door in her room. She was wet all over. It was raining outside. She lay on her bed and grasped her pillow tightly. Tears can be seen running down her face.

"—sniff—"

"—sniff—"

"—sniff—"

She sobbed continuously, murmuring something under her breath.

Moments after, she stopped. She let go of her pillow and lay facing the ceiling. She reminisces of what had happened and why she was so hurt.


Flashback:

Haruhi and Mori were strolling down the park which they usually do during Saturday afternoons. Mori usually places his arms on Haruhi's shoulders as they walk.

He buys her ice cream.

He gazes at her as if she was the most beautiful person in the world, smiling.

He carries her on his back as if on a piggy back ride and, sometimes, turned around rapidly making both of them dizzy and falls on the grass.

They talked about almost everything. They seemed to be the perfect couple.

"But—why?—why did he?!" Haruhi asked herself, tears began to run down her cheek again—

On this particular Saturday, Mori seems very disturbed. He didn't talk that much not that it's strange but this time, it's different. Something's odd in his silence. He didn't place his arm around Haruhi's shoulders. He didn't even look or glance at least, at the girl. She was worried. She knows Mori too well that she knew there was something wrong.

"Mori…Is there something wrong?" Haruhi was definitely worried.

Mori didn't answer. He remained calm and blank.

In an unknown reason, Haruhi felt her heart pounding. 'I'm nervous? Why?' She wondered. As if by instinct, she knew this will not end happily. There was silence. They sat down on a bench by the beautiful, sparkling pond. She stared at him intently, hoping he would stare back.

Minutes after, Mori glanced at Haruhi. Haruhi felt a little relieved after seeing it.

"Mori, is there a problem?" She asked him again. This time Mori spoke.

"Err…Haruhi…I have to tell you something…"

"Tell me anything. I'm all ears…" Haruhi replied, delighted that Mori will be willingly sharing his problem and she might be able to help him.

"A—anosa…"

Before Mori could tell her what he wanted to, it began to rain. 'Rain?! Of course, summer was soon to end.' Haruhi thought for a moment.

So she stood up and was about to run when Mori grabbed her arm, which stopped her from running.

"Eh?"

She turned to face Mori. She was shocked…Mori seems to be crying! But she was not sure for it is, in fact, raining. They stood there for a moment then Haruhi tried to speak again.

"A-Anosa…Mori…"

But before she could say any more, Mori grabbed her by the shoulder and pressed her against his chest.

He held her tightly, his left arm around her waist, his right on her head. Haruhi started to cry.

'Something's really wrong…really WRONG' she thought. After a moment, Mori gently and slowly let go of her. Curious, she looked at him, they were both crying by this time, and asked him—

"Mori… Does this mean—" But before she could finish, he cut her off—

"Haruhi, gomene…" then he ran away.

Haruhi was speechless, her tears continuously running down her cheeks.

This was what she feared the most—breaking up with Mori…

The rain started to pour more. Then there was thunder. Upon hearing this, she was alarmed and ran towards her family's apartment—

—end of flashback

"He—he didn't tell me the reason why…" she uttered between sobs.

She was clearly BROKEN. Her worst nightmare happened that day—being left alone by Mori, her savior whom she thought would protect her until the end of time,

in the midst of thunder and rain…


Haruhi was ready for school. She still looks depressed by what had happened last Saturday. She barely ate the following day. She shut herself all day in her room. Her father Ranka was really worried. During breakfast, which Haruhi was intending to pass, he called her…

"Ah, Haruhi… Aren't you going to eat breakfast?" He asked her cheerfully and gay.

Haruhi answered him without even looking, "No, Otou-san…I'm not hungry."

Then she walked out the apartment without saying another word.

Ranka was alarmed and worried, especially when he saw her the other night all wet and soggy, and her eyes sore. He didn't disturb her for he knew his daughter needed some time alone. He decides to wait for the said daughter to tell it to him willingly.

"Oh Kotoko…How I wish you were here. You will surely know what to do…" Then he gave a deep sigh.

"Right then! Time to go to work! Where's my makeup kit?—here it is! Ohohohoho…"


Haruhi was closing the door behind her. She turned around to walk to school when…

"Haa-ruu-hii!"

"K—Kaoru?! Hikaru?!"

The Hitachiin twins' beaming faces are seen in a limousine window. Kaoru, who was nearest to the door, opened it and asked Haruhi to come in.

"Hop in Haruhi! We'll take you to school!" The twins called in synchronization.

"H-Hai!" She ran towards the black limousine and hopped in.

She sat between the twins, who were arguing about something.

She sat there quietly; her thoughts still lingered on Mori.

The twins snapped at each other about… everything!—how big the trees are, which cars are the fastest, what music to listen to, etc.—

"Hey!—weren't you even listening, Haruhi?" Kaoru drawled.

"H-Huh?—Oh! Gomen..." But she continued to stare blankly in space.

Hikaru gazed at her with worried eyes. 'There's something wrong with her…I can feel it…'

The limo arrived at Ouran Academy and the trio went off to their classes.

During classes, Hikaru was observing her. She has never been this lazy in class before. She usually copies the notes legibly. He knew this well because he borrows her notes almost all the time.

She's staring blankly as if her mind is off somewhere. 'What is her problem? I can't figure it out!'—then it hit him—'was it because of Mori-senpai?'

"—yawn—this is boring… Are you getting any of this Haruhi?" Kaoru drawled putting aside his pencil, which he was playing.

Haruhi didn't answer. She remained silent.

"Oi Haruhi! Are you sick? Why aren't you answering? You seem gloomy today. Is there something wrong?" Kaoru asked poking Haruhi in the arm.

"Huh? I—I'm fine, Kaoru! Don't worry about me…" She replied forcing a smile.

Kaoru gave up and continued to play with his pencil. Hikaru on the other hand was still trying to figure out what Haruhi's problem was.

The first half of the classes are over, its time for lunch. Haruhi, because of her gloomy state, hasn't prepared anything for her to eat. She tried to persuade the twins that she was not hungry and she would rather study what she missed during the classes. The hard-headed twins would not let her starve and so…

"Hey! Kaoru! Hikaru! Stop! I told you! I-I'm not hungry! I would rather—"

"Stop complaining Haruhi! You know you can never coax us!"

The twins carried her, Kaoru the right arm, Hikaru the left, smirking.

And so they carried her to the canteen. The twins were obviously stronger than her; she doesn't want waste time and energy resisting so she let them carry her away.

The canteen was packed, as usual, and the line was long. Kaoru volunteered to fetch them food and so Haruhi and Hikaru were left alone. Hikaru, curious of what was bothering Haruhi, started a conversation.

"Hey Haruhi! How's your weekend?" He asked, forcing a smile on his face.

Haruhi did not answer. He removed that quirky smile then moved closer to Haruhi…

"Haruhi, if there's something wrong, a problem perhaps, I—I'm here okay. You can tell me anything. Besides, we're friends right, the best of friends…" he looked at her intently without blinking, waiting for a reply.

Haruhi was about to tell him what happened when she suddenly saw Mori carrying a tray and taking it to an empty table. He was alone because his friend/master Hani-senpai was sent to Okinawa for martial arts training.

She gazed at him, she misses him, and then…

…he stared back—blankly—as if he doesn't care for her at all.

She took her stare away, turned her head and tried to avoid Hikaru's eyes. Her eyes are starting to tear. By the sight of this, Hikaru knew that Mori was the reason for Haruhi's loneliness.

Both of them sat in silence. Kaoru came just in time to break the silence up.

"So Haruhi…Wanna tell us about that thing with Mori-senpai?" Kaoru blurted raising an eyebrow.

Both Haruhi and Hikaru were surprised.

"Don't hide it guys. I was watching you eagerly back there. I know you both too well that despite the distance between the line from here, I can see your expressions clearly." Kaoru explained.

"So?"

Haruhi took a deep sigh; a tear fell on her cheek…

"Mo—Mori and I…are…OVER" she croaked, by this time tears continuously ran down her cheeks.

Kaoru and Hikaru didn't open the topic up after that moment in the canteen. They figured it would be better if they leave Haruhi alone for now. She needed time to recover, and maybe she would willingly open it up to them.


Hikaru rushed to the nearest comfort room. He almost pee his pants.

'Damn that wicked old hag! She wouldn't let me go out! I swear I'll have that damn teacher fired!'

After finally releasing his—ahem—he went to the sink to wash his hands.

The comfort room was so huge. There were 8 cubicles and 8 something which boys pee on sorry guys…I don't know its name xP and a whole side with sinks and a huge long mirror.

Mori happens to be washing his hands too.

Hikaru notices and glares at Mori, but Mori simply looked at him blankly.

After a moment's pause, Mori started walking, passing Hikaru and was about to turn the doorknob when…

"Oi Mori!"

He turned to look at a glowering Hikaru.

"Why? Why did you do that to Haruhi?!"

He clenched his fist in anger, his eyes showing fury. He wants to punch Mori.

Mori who noticed this remained calm and straight-faced. This made Hikaru angrier.

"Mori, you bastard! Why are you acting like you don't care of Haruhi's feelings at all?! What's happened to you?! We thought you cared a lot for her! You ruined her life! YOU DAMN BASTARD!"

Hikaru ran towards Mori, aiming for his face, all his attention to him…and…

…he hit him…freely.

Mori didn't dodge the hit. He flew back.

He stood up and wiped the blood from his nose. Hikaru was breathing heavily. He was glaring at Mori again. Mori faced the door and was about to leave but turned his head to his shoulders…

"Hikaru…I care for Haruhi a lot…This is for her own good…I need to avoid her…If I don't—"

—I just don't want her hurt bad…" He said in a cool low voice and turned to leave the comfort room.
