A/N: SO here is the first chapter of LOAB II I hope you all enjoy it very much. As a refresher Chika is now in the custody of Hunny and their daddy is banished.

Hunny spent the next week or so getting all the financials in order. He worked with Kyouya to get all his father's money now under his name. It was a complex process and Kyouya had to step in a few times reminding them of the Black Onion Squad and asking if they had valid passports. Soon though all the paperwork was done and the Haninozuka fortune was now under the name Mitsukuni Haninozuka. It felt good to have life back. Hunny, however, had one important thing to delve into with his brother. Where they were going to live. He went back to Haruhi's apartment and decided that now would eb the best time to have this discussion while everything was still fresh I their minds.

"Hey Chika-chan can I talk to you?" Hunny said as he walked through the door seeing his little brother working on some school work. Satoshi was sitting next to him helping him with whatever Chika needed in addition to catching up on his own schoolwork. Chika was sometimes testy and it was a good thing that Satoshi was out of commission for a while and couldn't use his shinai. Upon hearing his brother Chika ran over not wanting to do any more work for now.

'What is it?' Chika signed as he got closer to his brother.

"Let's walk," Hunny said not wanting Satoshi to hear what he was about to ask Chika. "Chika I have now successfully transferred all of dad's money into my name. We need to talk about living arrangements though. Are you at all comfortable going back to the old estate? There is no wrong answer here Chika."

Chika violently shook his head no hoping that would communicate to his brother that he didn't want to ever go anywhere near that place again.

"Ok Chika. We don't have to go back there. I have found a plot of land where we can build a new estate with a dojo and everything. Until it is built are you alright living with the Morinozukas?" Hunny asked realizing what a stupid question that actually was. He would live there in a heartbeat not wanting to spend too much money living in an apartment.

Chika gave his brother a wide grin. Living with his best friend would be awesome. They also wouldn't have to inconvenience Haruhi anymore. This made Chika a little sad. HE had a crush on her and would miss being with the female host. She was kind and sweet and he loved cooking for her. It meant that she could get ahead on her studies. He felt bad, but he knew that he had to leave there was no other option. Plus living with Satoshi might not be such a bad idea either. They could keep each other company while they were recovering.

"Awesome, I will call Akira and tell him that we will accept his offer. And if you want you can go tell Satoshi that we are accepting," Hunny said knowing that Chika would want to tell his best friend that they were going to be living together for a while. As expected Chika rushed back into the apartment and found Satoshi sitting reading a book just as he had been before. Chika went over and tapped his best friend on the shoulder.

"What are you grinning about?" Satoshi asked. He was very confused. Lately Chika had been showing a bit of a softer side, but grinning wasn't usually on the menu.

'I am going to be moving in with you,' Chika signed quickly and excitedly.

"What?! Seriously? This is going to be awesome!" Satoshi said. His energy was all over the place and if he hadn't been forbidden from heavy physical activity for a while his body would be doing the same thing. He smiled at his best friend and they high- fived each other.

"That's great Chika," Haruhi said looking at the young man. She didn't know why she felt a little sad though. She would miss the company of Hunny and Chika. She also didn't want to admit it, but she would miss Chika's cooking. She would miss his presence and the feeling that she was protected. Even though Chika was still laid up Haruhi felt as if he would defend her anyway. She smiled though. She was glad for him. He would have a life ahead of him now. A better different life not filled with the same pain and struggle. She smiled as she saw the two best friends hug each other. Just then Chika came over to her.

'We can still see each other if you like,' he signed not wanting to let her go.

"That would be nice. You could finally show me how to cook that amazing chicken dish," she said. He nodded at her.

'I would be glad to teach you,' he signed back. He smiled at her hoping that she finally got the hint that he liked her, but he had no such luck this time around.

"Well everything is taken care of. Akira said they will be over tomorrow to help move all our stuff out. Is it OK if we stay with you one more night Haru-chan?" Hunny asked as he shut his cell phone and put it back in his pocket.

"Of course senpai you can stay as long as you need to."

"And here is this," Hunny said handing her a small piece of paper. She opened the envelope and looked at it. Her eyes widened.

"I can't accept this. This is too much and you know my senpai. I like to work for what I earn. I don't like to be handed money," Haruhi responded trying to shove the check back in Hunny's face.

"Just think of it as grocery money or something. I would feel bad if I didn't reimburse you Haru-chan," Hunny said once again offering it to her, "Just think if the tables were turned and you had to do the same thing with me."

"Oh alright," she admitted snatching the check out of his hand. He had convinced her with the last statement. She would have wanted to pay him back or work it off if she had to stay at the Haninozuka's for that long.

(next day)

At 8 AM Akira, Mori, and a lot of people from the Morinozuka dojo came over to help the Haninozuka children move out of their friend's apartment. Hunny helped with some of the heavy lifting and soon the cars that had come contained what Chika and Hunny had left to their name.

"Well that looks like everything. Are you ready to go Chika?" Hunny asked looking at his little brother. Chika nodded his head, but wasn't ready to go at all. Not now, not ever. He knew he couldn't impose on Haruhi any longer, but he wished from the bottom of his heart that he could stay there.

"Bye guys!" Haruhi said. She walked over to where they were standing and quickly gave each of them a hug. Chika felt his stomach flip when Haruhi put her hands around him and hugged him for just a moment. He wished for that moment to never end.

"See you later Haru-chan," Hunny said as they got in the car. He smiled at her. Chika ducked into the car too smiling at the female host in front of him.

"Remember Chika we have a date to make that chicken. Text me when you know what a good day for you would be," Haruhi said.

Chika looked at his feet as he sat in the car and the door was closed. He tried not to look at his brother, but he couldn't fool Mitsukuni, not for one second.

"What's wrong Chika?" his brother asked him looking worried.

'I miss her already,' Chika signed. He wished he could jump out of this car and go back to her. He would see her soon enough though and hopefully she would realize that he had feelings for her soon.
