Here's the sequal to Challenge!!!
YaY!!!!
No, I don't own Ouran High School Host Club characters.
"It's been three months already." Fujioka Haruhi said to her sempai, Kichida Emiko. When it was apparent the older girl was not listening, she said it again.
"Huh?" Emi said.
"I said that it's surprising we've already been in school for three months. It doesn't seem like it has been that long."
"Oh yeah, it has." Then she went back to staring off. She was staring at the door, waiting for him to walk through it and make her terrible day better by just being in the same room as him. It had been four months since Ichiro had disapeared from the country. She was paranoid about it, despite her father assurances that he'll be found. Three months since Takashi and Mitsukuni had graduated. The Host Club was still on hold for awhile, even though the headmaster had given them the yes. Tamaki wasn't willing to do it anymore and without Tamaki, no one else wanted to open back up either. Takashi usually gave her a ride home from school; it was really their only time to see each other until the Host Club was opened back up. But a few minutes was better than not seeing each other at all. The Host Club was still out of the loop that they were in relationship. Of course, they weren't even sure what their relationship was yet. Emi didn't know what she wanted to do with the rest of her life yet, and she didn't want to figure it out until she was sure Ichiro would be out of her life forever.
"Emi-sempai, are you okay?" Haruhi asked.
That was when Takashi walked through the doors, "I'm perfectly fine Haruhi, perfectly fine."
Takashi had left Mitsukuni to defend for himself as soon as they'd walked into the High School. His small cousin had been plagued by girls gushing that they hadn't seen him in a long time. No doubt his admirers would catch up with him at any moment. He'd been concerned that Emi would be jealous of the girls would requested him at the Host Club, but she'd just laughed when he mentioned it. "I think its funny Takashi, don't worry about it." She hadn't completely changed, but she wasn't the person she had been four months ago. She was still a merciless tease, and she would still occasionally act, but her days of challenges and playing games with people were over.
Something had been bothering her recently but she didn't talk about it to him.
But when he saw her sitting next to Haruhi, he forgot his concerns about her not talking to him. As soon as she saw him, her face broke out into a wide smile, lighting up her blue eyes. Sometimes it was hard to believe she was his.
"Hello Takashi-sempai." Emi said with a sly grin, "How are you today?"
"Fine."
"That's good."
"Emi-chan!" Mitsukuni cried, running and hugging her, "We haven't seen you in forever!"
Emi laughed, "I saw you yesterday Mitsukuni-sempai."
"That's too long! Lets' go!" and he pulled her out of her chair and out of the room.
Takashi hung his head with a hint of embarassment and followed after his cousin to retrive his girlfriend. He found them waiting for him outside the room, "I hope you weren't too embarassed Takashi." Mitsukuni said.
"I wasn't." but he didn't look at his cousin when he said it, his eyes were only for Emi.
The small university student rolled his eyes, "Whatever Takashi. I'll see you later."
When he was out of earshot, Emi turned on Takashi, "What was that about?"
"A little jealous."
"Of me?"
"Of me."
"Oh, you got a girlfriend before he did."
"Yes."
She smiled, "That's his loss then." She pulled him down the few inches to kiss him. It was a good thing she was 5`8, or Mori would have to bend down farther. Of course, four months ago, she'd been 5`6 but she'd grown two extra inches. It wasn't surprising for her to grow later, her brothers hadn't really grown until their last year of high school either. In fact, her brothers had bets on how tall she'd get. Kanaye, the younger one had bets on 5`10 but Ryou, the older one, had his bets on her hitting six foot. Emi figured she'd stay at 5`8, it was a perfectly fine height for her. It was perfect for her to rest her head under his. She let out a sigh.
"Tired?" he asked, stroking her hair.
"Yeah." She murmmured.
"I'll take you home." And he took her hand and led her away.
"You always do."
It had been a few years since the four of them had been in the same room to discuss the same subject. Yuzuru Souh, Akira Morinozuka, Yorihisa Hanoinzuka and Hiroshi Kichida had known each other in high school. The only one missing was Yoshio Ootori, but he wasn't directly involved in this. Akira, Yorihisa and Hiroshi had been a year ahead of Yuzuru and Yoshio. Back in their high school years, they had been friends and they were all happy to see their children be friends as well without hardly any parental influence (Kyouya didn't count).
"What's this about Yuzuru?" Yorihisa asked.
"Our children."
"What about them?"
"You know that they might be in danger." Hiroshi said, "Our pasts are coming back on our children. You can't deny that Yorihisa."
"Your right Hiroshi, but we can't do anything until he reveals himself first."
"You can't be suggesting that!" he stood up, "I won't use my daughter as bait!"
Yorihisa stood up as well, "Do you think I like putting my son at risk as well?"
"But this is my daughter, my little girl."
"And Takashi is my heir, what is the difference? We all have children Hiroshi." Akira said, butting into their argument, "Calm down and lets talk about this."
The Kichida and Hanoinouka heads sat down, "I'm sorry Yorihisa, I just don't want to lose my daughter now that I've got her back for more than a few months. I understand that you have to go through this too with your son."
"Are we just going to wait then?" Yuzuru asked.
"We might as well." Akira said.
Hiroshi crossed his arms, "I don't like this."
"None of us do." Yuzuru said, "But if we want to catch him, then this is the only way to keep them safe."
"Your right. Well, I have to get home, Tanaka will be wondering where I am." Hiroshi stood up and left. After he shut the door, it reopened. "Do you have more to say Akira?" he asked.
"I'm just on my way home too."
"Are you going to tell your boy?"
"Probably. The others will tell theirs as well."
"I'll tell my boys, but I'm not going to tell Emi, she's in the most danger and she's already the most worried."
They came to the door, and before getting into separate cars, Akira Morinozuka paused, "There is something else I wanted to mention."
"What?"
"Takashi, he's been acting. . . odd. I think it has something to do with your daughter."
"Has he fallen in love with her?"
"I don't know."
They locked eyes, "Lets hope not." Hiroshi said and got into his car.
