The Sanctioning of Circle Fujioka
Chapter 1 – Haruhi's Birthday Party
Today was Haruhi's twentieth birthday party granted she was already twenty two days ago, but this was a special party just for herself and her currently unsanctioned circle, it was special not only because of her birthday but because thanks to Kyouya the next day they were had an appointment with the High Circle for the right to be a sanctioned circle. Normally to be able to see the High Circle you would have to wait six months just to get an appointment with the High Circle but Kyouya had organised two weeks ago, talk about influence.
Against her better judgment she let Hikaru and Kaoru plan the party. When Haruhi had finished High School the others in her circle had all asked her to move in with them as they all decided to go to the same university when it was time for Kyouya and Tamaki to leave Ouran. Unable to choose they decided to get a house close to the university and live in it together.
Haruhi had been woken up by her usual alarm clock of Tamaki and Mitsukuni bounding into her bedroom, Tamaki would make the room super bright and Mitsukuni would brush off her blankets with a slight draft.
"Rise and shine Haruhi" Tamaki called.
"Kaoru said we had go for a walk while he and Hikaru set up" Mitsukuni added.
"Okay" Haruhi said getting up and walking to the bathroom to get dressed.
As soon as Haruhi was dressed she was whisked out of the house and to a nearby park. The park was Haruhi's favourite, not because it had a huge lake in the middle of it but the gazebo on the mini isle in the middle of it which was hidden on all sides by willow trees. the trees had been Takashi's idea. Every Sunday they would come to this park and have a picnic lunch under the gazebo on the mini isle.
"So, what are we going to do while Kaoru and Hikaru set up?" Haruhi asked the two boys on either side of her, unconsciously twisting her fingers with their's.
"I know we can play hide and seek" Tamaki says brightly.
"Yeah let's play that Haruhi" Mitsukuni said, bouncing up and down.
"Okay, but Tamaki has to be the seeker" she said.
"Why" Tamaki whined.
"Because you'll use your elemancy to bend the light around you making it almost impossible for us to find you" she said calmly.
"Oh" Tamaki said sadly.
Feeling bad Haruhi gave him a light kiss on the cheek and said "Cheer up,you'll be able to hide later". Soon after Tamaki began to count as Mitsukuni grabbed Haruhi's hand, whisking up into the air and over the water to the isle in the middle of the lake.
"Mitsukuni, you know Tamaki can't get to the isle without any help from one of us" Haruhi scolded.
"Good then he won't be able to find us then will he?" Mitsukuni asked Haruhi.
It was almost midday when they got a summons from the twins to come back and Tamaki still had not found them.
'Tamaki, we're coming back' she spoke into Tamaki's mind. "Come on Mitsukuni, time to go back" she said turning to the young man next to her.
As they floated towards where Tamaki was waiting he yelled "There you two are, I was starting to get worried. I couldn't find you anywhere, where were you anyway hmm..?"
"We were on the isle" Haruhi said simply "now lets get back before the twins send the army to find us" she added to make her friends hurry.
"About time you got back, we were about to send the army after you" Kaoru joked. "Everybody is inside waiting for you guys and Hikaru is really excited about the surprise" he added.
"Yeah, you're gonna love it Haruhi" Mitsukuni added.
"What, you know what it is?" Haruhi spun around in surprise.
"Of course I do, we all agreed on what it was going to be a few weeks ago when you were at the university sitting an exam" he said not noticing Haruhi's look of surprise as he walked into the house.
"Come on lets get inside you two" Kaoru said as he walked into the house.
Haruhi started to follow Kaoru into the house when she felt Tamaki grab her arm and pulled her back.
"Before we go inside, I just want to give you this first, Happy Birthday" Tamaki said, pulling a small box decorated with a light blue ribbon out of pocket and placed it gently in her hands.
Haruhi opened it to find a circular locket with a dark blue gem in the middle and white, cyan, yellow, black, green and red gems surrounding the one in the middle. Inside the locket there was on one side the words 'Circle Fujioka' in a cursive script and the other had a picture of all of them together.
"It's beautiful Tamaki, thank you" Haruhi said slipping the locket on and gave Tamaki a hug, kissing his lips passionately. "Now lets go inside" she said breaking away for a moment and grabbing his hand and leading him into the house.
As Haruhi was about to walk into the dining room Tamaki slipped out of her grip to place his hands over her eyes and guided her through the door to the dining room. As soon as they were through the door Tamaki lifted his hands from her eyes and her mouth dropped open in amazement.
The walls were covered in vines, and on the table in the middle of the room there was a bowl of water with candles floating on top of the water. around the table there were seven plates and on each plate was an elemancy spell globe as a place marker for each elemental.
"It's wonderful guys thank you" Haruhi said giving each of her circle members a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Okay the party will go like this first we eat, then Haruhi opens our presents, next is dancing and commoner party games then Haruhi gets her surprise, any questions... good" Hikaru says getting excited at the thought of what Haruhi's reaction would be about her surprise.
After they had finished eating Mitsukuni and Takashi got up to get something from the other room. When they came back Hikaru and Kaoru got up went to the other room and came back.
"Kyouya, Tamaki why aren't you gonna go to the other room to get your gift for Haruhi" Mitsukuni asked.
"I already gave it to her" Tamaki said nonchalantly.
"I have it in my pocket so therefore I see no need to walk into the other room" Kyouya said coolly.
"Haruhi you can open mine now" Mitsukuni said as he passed Haruhi a cake box.
She opened it and found seven mini strawberry cakes. "There my favourite thank you" she said giving Mitsukuni a kiss on the lips as Takashi placed his gift in front of her.
She unwrapped it to find a bonsai tree. "Thanks" she said to Takashi, giving him a kiss.
"Our turn now" said the twins in unison as they placed two boxes in front of her. In the first box there was a beautiful evening gown that she guessed Hikaru had designed and in the other was a yellow sundress, a straw hat with a yellow ribbon going around the middle and a pair of sandals each with a yellow sunflower on them which she guessed Kaoru had put together.
"They're beautiful, I'll try them on later"she said giving each twin a kiss on the cheek as they wrapped there arms over her shoulders. "I guess its your turn now Kyouya" Haruhi said turning to him.
"Okay" he said digging into the pocket of his jeans to fish out a small box. "Here" Kyouya said tossing the box at Haruhi who caught it with ease.
She opened the box to find a charm bracelet. The charms tht were attached to the bracelet were: a book, a justice symbol, the characters for water, a tree, and a small heart with Fujioka inscribed on it.
She put it on and walked over to Kyouya and with a smile gave him a steamy kiss turned around and walked back to her seat. "So Kaoru what's next on the to do list you've made" Haruhi said ignoring the others stares.
"Uh... next is dancing and commoner party games" Kaoru said.
"Well then if its dancing then I guess I'll dance with you first" she said to Kaoru.
They danced and played party games until it was almost time to go to bed.
"Hey wait you guys what about Haruhi's surprise" Tamaki said to the twins as they were about to go upstairs to their room.
"We're getting it now" the twins said in unison.
The twins came back with a box with holes in it. "This is from all of us" they said together.
Haruhi opened the box and inside was a sweet little kitten sleeping curled up in the box, "It's beautiful" she said as she carefully picked it up and fondled it's ears.
"Lets go to bed, we've got a big day tomorrow" Kyouya said closing his laptop and getting up from the armchair he was occupying. They all agreed and went to bed.
Please review, I have absolutely no idea where I'm going with this story. Right now I'm just going with the flow and seeing where I end up.
