Dear diary-
I've been keeping a track of my thoughts as the day approaches. . . My wedding day will be next month. I wish that I could say that I'm marrying for love or at least because I like the guy but I cant stand my soon to be husband and what he's done to me. I wish that I had more time to tell the person that I love that I want him and need him near me but I have to accept the fact that I did this to myself. I deserve this punishment. Well it all started back in high school. We were all excited because it was only one year left of school for us and that meant graduation was coming soon. I was finally leaving school to pursue my own agenda of becoming a lawyer. The twins were going to be fashion designers, Tamaki and Kyouya -sempai were graduating the year before us and Mori and Hani-sempai were already at college. The cousins still had time to visit the host club at least twice a week for an hour. Those were good times back then before he showed his face. (SIGH)Kazuma Yukiro.
"I remember that day like it was yesterday", Haruhi murmured to herself.
*flashback*
". . . Haruhi. . . I've changed my mind . . . "
"What . . . You want me to wear my ring?" Haruhi questioned.
"Yes and I also want you to stop attending that Host club of yours. It wastes time that you could be spending with mother and I.
The young man looked to Haruhi, slightly irritated at what he saw. Haruhi was talking with Honey-Chan and had been clutching at her chest where her new engagement ring was hanging around her neck. He had called Haruhi into the hall. She had looked at him perplexedly. Why did he need to talk to her now, while she was talking with Honey-Chan? She understood that she had an agreement with him to become his fiancée after they graduated high school but he didn't have to treat her like an Irish Setter whenever he felt like it. His possessiveness was getting out of hand as well, at first she could deal with it but now, it was like if her attention wasn't towards him then it had to be on her school work or her clients-that was the way it had to be. She had wished that she didn't sign that damn contract, she had wished that there was another way for her to deal with what was happening with her father. Her father. . . .the whole reason for her signing that contract.
Her father had gotten sick at work. She had found out when she had been summoned to the office while she, Kaoru and Hikaru were in class. When she finally arrived at the front office a family friend was on the phone and had told her that her father had been complaining of headaches and had collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital and was in stable condition. She knew that he had complained about headaches earlier in the week. She didn't know how serious the headaches were though.
"I have to get to him. I told him to take it easy . . .he never listens to me." she said over the phone.
"Haruhi don't you worry, I can stay until you get here-were at the Yukiro Memorial hospital."
"Thank you Mr. Takoshima, I really appreciate it." She answered back and then the line went silent. She hung up the phone and left the office. The entire host club was waiting for her in the hall. Hikaru and Kaoru were the first to speak.
"Haruhi what happened, is everything ok?" The twins said in unison, hands clasped and worried about their friend.
"Well, my dad had to go to the hospital a couple minutes ago because he collapsed but a family friend is with him. I need to be there with him but I have to find a way to get the Hospital."
"Haruhi, which hospital was your father taken to? Asked Tamaki as he pushed the twins out the way and grabbed her shoulders.
"He's in the new Yukiro Memorial Hospital." she answered.
"I know where that is, I know the owners son." Mori-sempai said in his tall silent mono-toned voice.
Needless to say the boys volunteered to escort their Haruhi to the hospital.
A limo arrived at the school at once-thanks to Kyouya sempai.
"Someone should stay here and make sure that Haruhi gets her homework, we don't want her to fall behind in class." Kyouya says as the limo pulls into the school grounds. "And by someone I mean the two of you." he says as he points to Hikaru and Kaoru.
"What?, but we want to be with Haruhi." The twins said in unison.
"Kyouya -sempai is right, you two have class together with Haru-Chan so you two would be the best to get her homework for her." Honey-chan said as he hugged Usa-chan.
"Yeah. . .",said Kaoru
"Your right. . .we'll stay and get your homework for you Haruhi." Hikaru answered as looked to Haruhi.
"You guys had better call us back and let us know what's happening." Kaoru says as he motions for his brother. " C'mon Hikaru, lets go back to class." and with that, the twins were off.
"Mori-sempai? Kyouya asked quietly as he got into the limo.
"Yeah." Mori-sempai answered as quietly as he followed suit.
"I need you tell me everything you know about the Yukiro clan and their son. At this point it was easy for Mori-sempai and Kyouya-sempai to talk because Haruhi was being comforted by an overprotective Tamaki and an extremely concerned high voiced Honey-chan.
When the group arrived at the hospital, Haruhi was the first to run out into the office with the others following her closely behind. Haruhi approached the counter and began to speak to the nurse while the boys looked on.
"Mori-sempai . . . I meant to ask you something." Kyouya says as he adjusts his glasses.
"Yeah."
"Earlier you said that you know the owners son of this hospital. How well do you know him?"
Truth be told, Kyouya disliked like the fact that he didn't know anything about this new business zaibatsu that seemed to pop up out of nowhere. He was usually on top of things and this shouldn't have been any different. But then he remembered that he had been unusually busy with new preparations for the host club second annual ball as well as his and Tamaki's graduation ceremony. He realized that even he couldn't keep track of every zaibatsu that arrived on the scene. But it still irked him that he didn't know anything about the Yukiro clan. After he was well informed by Mori he could always have his squad force look up anything that he couldn't find on his trusted laptop.
"I hadn't talked to the son in a while. His name is Kazuma Yukiro and he is the sole heir to the Yukiro zaibatsu. We grew up together and even trained together before his father took him away to be trained in taking over the family business. The Yukiro's own a substantial number of businesses and schools. I don't really know what he would be into now, its been a while since he and I have talked."
"I see. Thank you Mori-sempai." Kyouya answered.
"You guys , what are you doing? Haruhi found her dads room lets go!" Tamaki says as he anxiously wanted to follow Haruhi.
"C'mon Takashi, lets move" Hani-sempai said as he hurried along side Tamaki.
The boys raced to follow Haruhi to her dad, unaware that they were being watched.
Haruhi went straight to the end of the hall and found her dads room. As she opened the door she saw her dad lying in bed with his eyes closed. He looked like he was daydreaming. He had heard the door open and saw his daughter come in. He began to sit up when she ran towards him and hugged him tightly. Her head was buried in his chest as he looked to the three young men standing in the doorway.
"Well you boys can come in, I'm decent." Ranka said with a smile. He looked down to his daughter and smiled. "Haruhi dear, I'm so sorry that I worried you, I must have scared you half to death." He says as he strokes her hair.
"Dad!" Haruhi yells as she jerks away. Looking into her dads eyes she begins to yell at him. "Why didn't you take it easy like I told you to, you know that you shouldn't overwork yourself like you do. I've told you time and time again to take the day off if you need to. What do I have to do, strap you down in order for you to relax?"
Ranka looked to his daughter wide eyed and couldn't come up with anything to say. He then realized that Kotoko had said the exact same thing to him when he had a dizzy spell from working a long shift at the liquor store. At that memory, he smiled at Haruhi and patted her head.
"I apologize Haruhi, I truly didn't mean to worry you and you have my word that I'll take it easy from now on." He says with a smile.
"Ranka-san, how do you feel?" Kyouya asks as he comes closer to the bed.
"Well I still feel a little light head but other wise I think I'll be alright." Ranka answers.
"What happened to you Ranka-Chan?" Hani asks as he holds his usa-chan tighter.
"I was wiping down the counters as usual and about to serve a customer when I had gotten a really bad headache. I remember falling to the ground and holding my head in pain. Then I blacked out. When I came to, I woke up here." Ranka admitted as he looked to the young boys.
"Well, you seem to be doing alright now, that's good though. You should be out of here in no time." Tamaki says as he gives a quick grin to Ranka.
Mori and Hani grinned while Kyouya gave a slight smile.
Just then a doctor enters the room and comes to the bed. "Mr. Ryoji Fujioka, I presume that your well enough for another check up. . ." She says with a grin as she reaches for the clipboard above Ryoji's head.
"You presume correctly but please call me Ranka, Dr. Ayame." He says with a grin.
"Haruhi looked to the doctor and then to her dad, if she didn't know better she could have sworn that the two of them were flirting with each other.
"Of course Ranka. Now this must be the little lady that I heard so much about." The doctor says as she looks to Haruhi.
"Yes, this is my daughter Haruhi. My little princess." Ryoji said as he gave Haruhi a grin. And she blushed.
"Haruhi, I hope you don't mind me asking but how do put up with him?" The doctor says as she checks Ryoji's vitals.
"Honestly sometimes I just don't know."
"Well at any rate you're a trooper for putting up with him." The doctor says as she adjusts her glasses.
"Doctor were you able to find out what is wrong with my dad?" Haruhi asks as she holds her dads hand.
"Haruhi, it was just a stress headache I'll be fine if I relax like you told me to." Ryoji says as he pats her head gently.
"Ranka that's what I need to talk to you about, what happened to you wasn't a stress headache." Dr. Ayame says as she looks to Ryoji.
"I don't understand, if it wasn't a headache gone bad then what was it that made me pass out like that.?" Ryoji asks.
"Well I think that it would be better to discuss this without your daughter and her friends around."
"No disrespect Dr Ayame but we'll be staying." Kyouya answers as he stands in front of the door.
"Please Dr. Ayame, these boys watch over my daughter and care for her as much as I do. They're family and anything that you have to say to me, you can say in front of them." Ryoji says as he looks to the doctor.
The doctor took a deep breath. "Very well then. Ranka, the tests that were run on you earlier reveal that you have cancer."
"Cancer?" Ryoji says as he looks off to the wall.
Haruhi almost wonders if what she just heard was true or if she misheard. Mori and Hani couldn't believe it. Tamaki couldn't help but worry about what was going on through Haruhi's mind as well as Ranka-sama's. Kyouya looked to the doctor before he spoke.
"Doctor what exactly is being done to help Ranka-sama?"
"Well we can start treatment as soon as today if you like, the cancer was detected but that doesn't mean its not curable. The treatment itself is going to be very expensive."
A knock on the door pulled Haruhi out of her shock.
"Oh, Mr. Yukiro. I'm in the middle with a consultation with one my patients. What brings you here?" Dr. Ayame asks as she greets the young heir with a slight bow.
"I was just visiting the east wings of the hospital. I just come buy to tell you that your doing a magnificent job with training the new interns, when I had overheard you. I would like to extend my services to Ms. Fujioka. If she doesn't mind I would like to talk to her outside."
What could he possibly want to talk to me about? Haruhi thought as she walked off. "Dad I'll be right back."
"Haruhi, do you want me to come with you?" Tamaki asked as he stepped forward.
"No sempai, I should be fine." Haruhi answered as she left the room with the Yukiro heir.
As the door closed behind the two, the group looked to the doctor.
"So that's the Yukiro heir." Kyouya said as he inched a little closer to the door.
"Yes, that is Kazuma Yukiro, the only son of the Yukiro zaibatsu. They own this hospital." Dr. Ayame says as she turns to Ryoji. " Its not rare for Kazuma-kun to visit the hospital but I have no idea what he would want with your daughter Ranka."
Kyouya listened carefully through the door and couldn't believe his ears. He had to keep this quiet and talk to Haruhi late on, so he could make a plan. He had hoped that she wouldn't do anything without consulting him first.
While outside of her fathers room, Haruhi looked to the young man in front of her. He had a slim build like Tamaki or Kyouya sempai but he was a little more broad in the shoulders. He had brown hair that was pulled back in a pony tail. He was wearing a nice and most likely pressed uniform from some school that Haruhi couldn't put her finger on. What Haruhi noticed were his eyes, they were this shade of blue that forced you to look into them. She put that thought aside because she wanted to know why he had brought her out here.
"Well, we're out here now so what did you want with me uh. . . I don't think I know your name."
"Right. That was rude of me wasn't it. My name is Kazuma Yukiro, I am the only son of Ketsune and Maya Yukiro and heir to the Yukiro zaibatsu-one of the largest in the world. I'm a little surprised that you don't know who I am."
"Well don't take it personal, I've met a lot of rich people who just seem to be full of themselves so I tend to stay away." Haruhi answers as she looks on.
"I wont waste your time any longer. Haruhi Fujioka, I have a proposition for you. My family would like pay for you fathers medical bill, any costs that incur would be our sole responsibility. You wouldn't have to worry about anything. In exchange I would like you to marry me. Not now of course but later on after high school." He says calmly as if making a business deal.
"What, you cant be serious! What about my going to school to become a lawyer, I cant put that on hold!" she says as she looks dumbfounded at Kazuma.
"I'm not asking you to give up any of your future plans on becoming a lawyer. Having one in the family would prove to benefit us."
"What if I refuse to marry you." Haruhi asks as she looks into the young heirs eyes.
"Refusing me is your right of course but you wont be able to pay off your fathers treatment without some kind of help. Haruhi I am trying to help you. If you did this many more doors will open for you. Sure you have your foot in the door because of your grades now but along down the line you will need to have other influences if you want to make a name for yourself. You will need a strength by your side that intellect can't give. You are a smart, intelligent and pretty girl- you are also so stubborn that you wont ask those friends of your for help. My family is willing to take this burden off of your hands in exchange for. . ."
"My love. . . " Haruhi answers.
"Well . . .yes. We wouldn't be marrying for love but we could learn to love each other. Arranged marriages do work out Haruhi."
"Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Marrying someone and sharing your life with them out of necessity is wrong." Haruhi said as she tried to keep her voice down in the hospital.
"My parents were arranged to be married and it worked out well for them. They've been together for twenty years."
"That must be wonderful for them but what about the other marriages that end in divorce because one person can't take an arranged marriage anymore?"
"Haruhi, the only thing that I can promise you is that I wont mistreat you if you were to marry me. I would make sure that you and you father would have everything that you need. You can still keep your plans on for the future and we could wait on getting married later. The offer is on the table Ms. Fujioka. . . Will you take it?"
Haruhi thought about and hard. Kazuma was making a blunt yet blatantly honest point, she could only get by so far on her intellect alone. Haruhi knew that she would need other influences and that she couldn't rely on throwing around her friends names in order to get ahead. But being apart of an already established family would be different. It was a hard decision to make but she had to think of her father and her future. She knew that she would never asks her friends for the money, that was never like her to beg for anything. It was a pride issue that she inherited from both parents. To marry someone without loving them though. She didn't know what to make of it. She swallowed and made her decision.
"Fine. Kazuma Yukiro. If your family is willing to handle all of my fathers medical bills from here on out. . . I will become your fiancée." Haruhi said with a look of determination on her face so focused that all Kazuma could do was stand there and look on.
"Alright then. All I need for you to do is to sign this agreement and then we can get started." Kazuma says as he hands Haruhi a form of papers.
"What is this?" She asks.
"This is a formal agreement basically stating that you comply with my families wishes and agree to the terms, you're welcome to read over it of course." Kazuma answers as he hands her a pen.
As Haruhi looks over the documents and comes to a paragraph that she doesn't agree with. "This part2 statement requires that we consummate our marriage with at least one child. "
"Yes Haruhi. We are expected to have at least one child during our marriage. It has to be done."
Haruhi took the pen from Kazuma and signed the agreement, saving her father while sealing her own future.
Kazuma took the pen back and looked to Haruhi. "Well lets go in and tell everyone the good news."
Kazuma opened the door for Haruhi and went in after her. She looked to her father and then to everyone else.
"Dr. Ayame, please go ahead with the treatment" Kazuma says as he enters the room.
"At once Mr. Yukiro." Dr. Ayame answers as she exits to get her staff ready.
"Haruhi what did you two talk about out there?" her father asks as she takes his hand.
"Well, I'll leave you all alone then. Mori sempai? Good to see you again. We must make time to visit each other again." Kazuma said as he left the group.
After the door closed they all looked back to Haruhi.
"Dad we don't have to worry about any of the medical bills for your treatment, its already taken care of."
"Oh and why do you say that?" Ryoji says as he looks to Haruhi. "Haruhi, what did you do?"
Tears began to form in Haruhi's eyes as she began. "I took him up on his offer, I agreed to marry him so you could be treated!"
DUN! DUN!DUUUNNNN! OMG Haruhi agreed! Oh no! Wait until the twins find out. Kyouya might not have a plan for this one.
