DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

Original Idea By: twilighttween ALICE aka Grayson's Gal

Ei Fujioka woke up to the sound of someone shouting at her, calling her name, "Ei you getting up?"

She responded with a moan and turned on her side, pulling the covers up around her even tighter.

"Ei, come on get up!"

Ei moaned again in response.

"Don't make me go extreme on you,"

"Huh?" said Ei opening her eyes in time to see a pillow getting hit in her face.

"Get up!"

Ei groaned mad as she woke up and saw Hikaru Hitachiin standing next to her bed with a look that was a cross between annoyed and amused.

"Get up!" he said again, "Don't make me go super extreme and get Kyoya or Hunny up here in their demon lord mode. I don't think they're up yet."

"Fine fine I'm up," muttered Ei climbing out of her rainbow bed and stretching her arms.

"Hurry up and get dressed, the maid is getting breakfast ready. You don't want it to get cold," said Hikaru.

"I'm going I'm going," said Ei, "You didn't have to hit me with the pillow you know. I was getting up on my own."

"That but this way was a lot more fun," said Hikaru with a smirk. He threw the pillow at her before walking out of her room, "Come on now, hurry up."

Ei walked over to her closet and pulled out her pink uniform and carefully put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror on the closet door to make sure she looked presentable before walking over to her rainbow painted vanity table and brushed her hair with her rainbow painted hairbrush. She made sure she looked good enough before heading out of her room and to the first floor of Hikaru's penthouse. She could smell the good food one of the maids had already cooked for Hikaru. Hikaru sat at the table reading a newspaper not really paying attention to her.

"Good Morning Miss Ei," said the maid cheerfully.

"Good morning," said Ei.

"Are you joining Master Hikaru for breakfast or will you be going to another father's home for breakfast?" asked the maid. Hikaru looked up from his newspaper.

"Oh did you want to go eat breakfast with one of the others?" he asked.

"Hunny if I'd want to have breakfast with him this morning. Something about Mori coming up with a new frosting muffin and he wanted to share them with me," said Ei.

"But wasn't my turn to share breakfast with you?" asked Hikaru was Ei headed to the elevator.

"Hunny said that I can do that on the day I'm suppose to have breakfast with him Hikaru," said Ei hitting the elevator and going down to Hunny's floor.

"Well have a good day at school at least!" Hikaru shouted before the doors closed all the way.

"Thanks," Ei called back.


Ei road down calmly, before arriving at Hunny's floor. She walked in in time to see Mori showing Hunny the plate of muffing Hunny had been talking about.

"Oh they look so yummy!" said Hunny with joy. Mori suddenly turned to see Ei in the doorway.

"Good morning Ei," he said with a smile.

"Morning," said Ei returning the smile.

"Ei-Chan!" said Hunny with delight, "Look Takashi brought us the muffins he told us about! Don't they look yummy?"

"Yeah," said Ei looking at the white frosting muffins, "Thanks Mori."

"There's more food in the dinging room too Ei-Chan come on, let's eat!" said Hunny tugging the little girl with him to the dinging room. "Was Hika-Chan upset you didn't eat breakfast with him?"

"I think a little, but I'm sure he won't mind too terribly as long as I keep my word and use your day to eat breakfast with him," said Ei.

"Oh course," said Hunny. He, Ei and Mori all sat at Hunny's pink table and enjoyed their breakfast meal with delight. At least until Mori started tapping his wrist with his watch.

"Time for me to get going to school?" asked Ei.

"Yeah," said Mori, "Go brush your teeth."

"I will," said Ei. She ran upstairs to her pink bathroom and grabbed her pink bunny toothbrush.

"Do you know who's supposed to be taking you to school today Ei-Chan?" asked Hunny once she came out of her bathroom.

"Kaoru I believe," said Ei.

"Well have a good day at school Ei-Chan," said Hunny giving her a huge hug.

"Yeah," said Mori.

"Bye now," said Ei once again riding the elevator. It seemed that on any given morning Ei could be riding an elevator three or four times making sure she came to the respectable floors she was suppose to meet up with her foster fathers. When she first came to live with her six foster fathers over a year ago it was kind of annoying and tiresome, but now she was more or less use to it.


"How's your meal looking Mr. Hitachiin?" Kaoru's maid asked as she placed Kaoru's breakfast around the table

"Just fine thank you," said Kaoru. Then he looked at his watch. "Oh I hate to be rude but could you make yourself scarce? I'm expecting someone very important."

"Oh of course Master," said the maid with a smirk as she walked off.

Kaoru looked at himself in a mirror real fast right as he heard his doorbell ring. He practically danced his way over to the door and opened it in a grand gesture.

"Good morning my dear lady," he said.

"You are such a show off you know that?" asked Alice Tween, Kaoru's girlfriend walking into the penthouse.

"So, are you ready for a breakfast?" asked Kaoru gently holding her hand in his. He twirled her around gracefully and kissed her tenderly.

"Mmm," said Alice in pure joy as she felt Kaoru's lips against hers.

"Do you have to get to work really early today?" Kaoru asked before moving his lips down to Alice's neck and leave soft kisses along it.

"Why?" asked Alice.

"Well I have a wonderful meal planned for breakfast; it might be nice to enjoy it a little bit after we've finished it."

"You're not suggesting what I think you're suggesting are you?" asked Alice

"What do you think?" Kaoru slowly started pressing her up against the wall.

"Kaoru, I'm here," Ei's voice suddenly came in through the penthouse.

"Oh crud that's right it's my turn to take Ei to school!" Kaoru suddenly realized. However the minute he did, Ei came around the corner and found the two adults in their compromised position.

"Oh never mind," she said quickly before heading back fast.

"No, Ei don't go!" said Kaoru running after her, "We were just about to have breakfast. You can join us!"

"It's fine Kaoru, really. Go ahead and have breakfast with Miss Tween. I can just go find Kyoya and see who's free to take me to school. Have a nice day," said Ei hurrying out. Kaoru sighed. This wasn't the first time Ei had come across him and Alice together. Not necessarily in a way she had just caught them, but it still seemed that anytime she did she turned tail and ran. Since Kaoru and Alice were seeing more and more of each other, it almost seemed as if though Ei was avoiding Kaoru all together.

"I'm sorry Kaoru," said Alice as Kaoru came back to her.

"No, it's not your fault," Kaoru assured her as he led her to the dinging room.

"Do you think Ei's feeling nervous over the idea of us getting closer like we are?" asked Alice.

"Possibly," said Kaoru, "Though I don't know why."

"Well maybe she's feeling nervous of the idea that I may take you away from her," said Alice.

"I don't know why. She's known you for a long time now too," said Kaoru.

"Nine year olds may have a hard time remembering that when things start to change so much around her," said Alice.

"Hmm," said Kaoru fiddling with a box in his pocket. He was hoping to give the contents of it to Alice this morning but now it suddenly didn't feel right.

"Hey you know I'm curious about something. It's been about a year since you've officially adopted Ei. Why doesn't she call any of you dad instead of by your first names?" asked Alice.

"Oh something about her not wanting to really play favorites along with us or something; She's just never took to calling us dad or father," Kaoru explained.

"Hmm, well I wonder what if she'd ever feel comfortable calling me by my first name instead of Miss Tween," said Alice.

"We'll have to wait and see," said Kaoru rubbing his box again.


Ei did her best to hide her feelings of being upset as she road up to Kyoya's penthouse. She got there just as he came out of.

"Ei, shouldn't you be down with Kaoru getting ready for school?"

"He's having breakfast with Miss Tween at the moment. I think he forgot it was his turn to bring me to school," Ei explained, "So I came up here to see if you had an idea of who was free to take me instead."

"Ah I see," said Kyoya looking at his watch, "Well I do have an interview with a potential thirteenth floor manager this morning. But I may have enough time to take you and come back before the candidate arrives. Would you like that?"

"Sure," said Ei starting to perk up a little.

"You shouldn't feel too upset about the idea of Kaoru spending time with Miss Tween. She's a very nice lady and she likes you," said Kyoya as the two of them road down to the lobby of the Host Towers, the place Kyoya and his friends all worked out of mostly and they, along with Ei called home.

"I know," said Ei. She remembered how kind and carrying Miss Tween was back from when Ei lived at the Twilight Orphanage after her mother Haruhi Fujioka had died, along with her father Ranka. That was before her mother's friends; the hosts had found her and took her in after a long and shaky road of fighting for custody for her among some of her mother's other old friends from high school. Alice had been the director back then and had done a lot for Ei while she lived there. It still didn't make it easier for Ei to see her and Kaoru around each other so much for some reason.


Once Kyoya and Ei arrived at the lobby and were about to head to the door, one of the receptionist came running up to them.

"Mr. Ohtori?" she said bowing her head in respect.

"Yes?" said Kyoya calmly.

"The candidate for the thirteenth floor manager position is here,' said the receptionist.

"Oh?" said Kyoya looking at his watch, "She's a bit early."

"I apologize if that's a problem good sir," said a woman with long brown hair all up in a bun in a black business suit suddenly appearing behind the woman, "I thought it would be a good idea to come early to get a good scope of the place I may wind up working." She outstretched her hand towards Kyoya, "Akira Kikku, nice to meet you Mr. Ohtori."

"Likewise," said Kyoya.

"If you have other things you have to worry about, I can wait and get a good look at the office building here," Akira tried to reassure the man.

"Well," said Kyoya right as they heard an elevator bell ring. He turned and saw Tamaki walking out of the elevator. "Tamaki, can you take Ei to school? I have an interview to conduct."

Tamaki looked like he had just been offer a big treasure chest.

"You mean I get to take Ei to school twice in one week?!" he said with delight, "Of course I can take her!"

"Good then," said Kyoya, "Oh would you like to meet Miss Akira Kikku? She's being interviewed for the thirteenth floor management position."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Suoh," said Akira stretching her hand out towards Tamaki. Tamaki took it and kissed it gently.

"No no, the pleasure's all mine. I feel honored to be meeting such a find looking woman such as you," said Tamaki. The serious looking woman blushed slightly.

"Thank you," she said as calmly as she could. "Shall we Mr. Ohtori?"

"Of course," said Kyoya leading her to an elevator.

"Good luck to you my dear lady," said Tamaki.

"Thank you Mr. Suoh," said Akira.

"She seems nice huh?" said Tamaki as he and Ei came outside. Already a limo was waiting for them.

"Oh you're escorting Miss Fujioka to school today Mr. Suoh?" asked the driver.

"Yes, isn't it great?!" said Tamaki hugging Ei.

"Master Suoh, Master Suoh, good to know I found you before you left!"

Tamaki and Ei both looked to see a staff member from Tamaki's Grandmother's house coming up to him.

"I was told to give this to you, courtesy of your grandmother."

"Oh thank you," said Tamaki opening the note.

"What is it?" asked Ei.

"It's an invitation to a family dinner party tonight," said Tamaki.

"Will you be able to come?" asked the messenger.

"Oh yes definitely," said Tamaki.

"Oh good I shall inform your grandmother," said the messenger before bowing and leaving.

"Let's go Ei," said Tamaki. The two of them climbed into the limo and drove off.

"What do you think we should wear to this thing?" Tamaki asked as they drove off.

"We?" said Ei.

"Well it said it was a family dinner party didn't it?" said Tamaki.

"But I thought your grandmother didn't really consider me a part of the family," said Ei.

"Oh of course she does," said Tamaki, "So does my father. You know he'll want to see you too."

"I guess," said Ei.

"So what do you think we should wear?" Tamaki asked again.

"I don't know," said Ei, "We'll have to look at what we have once I come home from school."

"Well you have a good day!" said Tamaki hugging her after they arrived at Ouran.

"Thanks Tamaki," said Ei. She waved to the limo as it drove off. She suppose given most of the circumstances it hadn't been too bad of a day given she got to see most of her foster fathers before she came to school, well some more then others.

Ei sort of liked her life the way it was now. She liked it a lot with it just being her and foster fathers. She just couldn't understand why she felt upset about the idea of Miss Tween being around more often.

'Mom, if you're watching me in Heaven, can you do me a favor? Help me to understand why I'm feeling so nervous about Miss Tween always around, please? Take care and keep watching over me with Grandmother and Grandfather. I love you just like I love my fathers and I hope I always will.'
