Itsu Made Mou

by Kuron

With Haruhi and Kyouya married, their lives haven't ended. It's just the beginning of forever. (If interested in the backstory, please read Kimi no Koe and Touch of Serenity.)

1. Reunion

Title: Itsu Made Mo (Forever)
Written by: Yue Guang Kuroneko
Pairing: KyouyaxHaruhi, NekozawaxRenge
Rating: eto...PG.
Written for: Tono and Nyanto because they requested I write a reunion story for Kimi no Koe—probably between chapter four and five of Touch of Serenity. (Or you can say that this is an alternative ending to Touch of Serenity for those of you who didn't like chapter five. xD)
Dedicated to: all of my supporters and friends. Thank you all so much for being so patient with me and my writer's block!
Warning: Beware of OOCness and just general suckage! And no plot…just a drabble.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran or any of its characters. They belong only to the great Bisco Hatori-sama (and BONES)...I don't own the original ideas of this story either. They belong to Tono and Nyanto. I'm just portraying this story as I thought would fit.

PLEASE READ KIMI NO KOE AND TOUCH OF SERENITY FIRST!

Ootori Haruhi wasn't quite sure she wanted to go to the Ouran reunion. After all, their past customers had absolutely no idea that she was a woman—married to the president of the Ootori Corporation at that—with a child. Their wedding had been a rather small one and the only piece of information that had been released to the public was that Ootori Kyouya was no longer the sexiest bachelor in Japan. As for whom he had been wed to, it was never announced openly and many of their acquaintances did not yet know that Haruhi was a woman, save for a few of the closer friends they made out of Ouran.

"Mommy."

Haruhi gazed down at the young boy who was currently clutching at her dress pants with his chubby fists.

"Yes, Takumi?" she knelt down to his level. "What's wrong?"

"Where is daddy?"

"He'll be here soon," Haruhi promised her son. "He said he was going to be a little late today."

"Where are we going, mommy?" Takumi asked her as she stood taking his hand in hers.

"We're going to visit the place where daddy and mommy first met," Haruhi explained as they left the mansion. She watched as Takumi waved good-bye to their servants and maids who returned his smile with their own.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang and she picked up, already knowing the caller without having to glance at the ID.

"Kyouya," she smiled as she heard his light breathing over the receiver.

"I'm almost home," her husband said coolly into the phone as if he had been on-time rather than rushing out of a prolonged meeting and a delayed flight. Then again, knowing Kyouya, he probably didn't bother leaving the meeting early. He was never the type to "hurry" anywhere.

"We're outside," Haruhi told him, her eyes gazing up at the blue sky, sparkling at the thought of her husband's return after a six-month absence.

Haruhi felt Takumi pulling at her pant leg again.

"Is that daddy?" he whispered loudly.

She nodded at him and handed him the phone.

"DADDY!" Takumi squealed into the phone happily. "Are you on your way home from America now?"

The previous Fujioka Haruhi never would have imagined herself married to Kyouya, nor would she have known that she'd be so happy being married to him. She had always imagined herself as a bachelorette, successful in law and content with her life but now she was quite glad she didn't follow through completely with that plan.

The Ootori limo had entered the gates and reached them before Haruhi noticed it. She greeted the driver with a grateful smile as he opened the door.

"DADDY!" Takumi flung himself at the tall, dark-haired man as he stepped out of the limo, looking as intensely sexy as ever.

"Hey," he caught Takumi and spun him once in the air before allowing Takumi to settle in his arms. "Did you behave yourself while I was away, Takumi?"

"Yes!" Takumi looked proud of himself. "I took care of mommy!"

"Did you now?" Kyouya gazed in her direction briefly before setting Takumi down lightly. "Why don't you greet our guest in the limo? You should remember him."

"'Kay!" Takumi clambered into the limo without another word.

"Welcome home," Haruhi smiled at him as he strode over to her with his long legs.

He only offered her a small smile in reply before bending slightly to kiss her cheek. She loved this about him—his simple gestures meant much more to her than it would to anyone else. She could feel the warmth of his breath that whispered something deeper than "Hello" and it made her heart skip a beat every time.

"Are you ready?" he asked her as she slipped her hand into his discreetly. "We don't have to go if you prefer not to."

Haruhi laughed to herself silently as she gazed up at Kyouya's face. She wasn't quite sure whether or not that he realized this, but he had evolved from a seemingly cold and heartless, profit-driven Shadow King to a warm father and a wonderful husband.

"I want to go," Haruhi admitted to him, allowing her shoulders to rise slightly. "It would be nice to see everyone again."

They headed down the steps into the limo and Haruhi slipped inside to meet a pair of familiar violet-blue eyes.

"HARUHI!" the figure attacked her before her brain registered a name with the face. "HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!"

"Tamaki-senpai?" Haruhi managed once her mind clicked. Suddenly, she realized that there was no one else with him. "Where are Akiko-san and your daughters?"

"She wasn't feeling well," Tamaki pouted as he pulled himself away and seated across from her. "And she wouldn't allow me to bring my girls with me to the reunion."

That was probably very smart of Akiko-san, she thought secretly to herself.

Kyouya entered after their conversation and Takumi quickly clambered onto his father's lap with excitement clearly shown on his chubby face.

"What was America like, daddy? Was it fun? Did you bring back any souvenirs? Did you meet any famous people? DID YOU SEE JACKIE CHAN!?" Takumi burst out with questions and Kyouya answered them simply as he held Takumi with his right arm and his left hand found hers. Haruhi listened to the men converse with half a mind—the other half wandered off to their friends.

She had not spoken to the Hitachiin twins since they left for France due to their job as fashion designers. When was that? A couple of months ago? No, it was probably four months ago, now that she thought about it. She hadn't seen much of Mori-senpai or Hani-senpai either, even though they were closer in location compared to the twins—they were simply too busy with the dojo and Hani-senpai's famous sweets shop. They did send an e-mail last week however, informing them that they would be attending the reunion.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

Haruhi snapped out of her thoughts and gazed over at Takumi who seemed to have gotten bored of Kyouya's lap. He raised his arms and she smiled at him before gesturing her four-year-old over to her. He gave her a toothy grin and hopped onto her lap, nuzzling his face into her neck.

The rest of the ride to Ouran was relatively silent, save from a few cute remarks from Takumi. Once they were at the school's perimeters, Tamaki began acting like a child with Takumi who awed at the large, splendidly decorated grounds.

"Look, Haruhi!" Tamaki squealed as they entered the gates. "This is where you met daddy!"

"What nonsense are you sprouting?" Kyouya questioned the King of the famous Host Club with a hint of malice. "Especially in front of my son, Tamaki."

"But Kyouya—!" Tamaki began to whine.

"And you work here as chairman," Kyouya pointed out coolly, showing disinterest in the king clearly by staring blankly out of the window. "You come here every day."

"But it's exciting when you've got your friends with you!" Tamaki defended himself, placing a hand to his chest as if he was wounded that Kyouya could be so difficult. "It's boring coming to work here by myself."

She laughed lightly at Tamaki's reasoning. He hadn't changed since he and Kyouya graduated but somehow, she was refreshed by this.

As they drove up to the school, Haruhi gazed out of the window and began to recognize a couple of faces.

There was Kuragano Momoka, the past vice-president of their class 1-A. The modest woman was smiling up at a still-awkward-looking Souga Kazukiyo, clinging onto his arm and laughing heartily. Her face was still cute but she had grown—just like everyone else had. Momoka had a cheerful, motherly look about her and Haruhi wouldn't be surprised if Kazukiyo finally possessed the courage to propose to her. (Although she was quite sure that he was still as scared as ever when it came to the supernatural.)

And then there was Kanako, the flirty designator who had flitted from host to host, never having a special host—after all, she had already been engaged to Suzushima Toru at the time. It seems that he hasn't changed much (aside from the mustache he seemed to have grown in) and that these two were still as in love as ever.

Once the limo stopped, Tamaki was the first to leave, causing much commotion among the girls who were gathered outside. They swarmed around him, disregarding Kyouya as he stepped out in a more dignified manner (not to mention Haruhi realized that most of those women were married and had completely abandoned their husbands to greet Tamaki with shrill screams of pure joy.) Kyouya offered his hand to her and she took it, still holding Takumi before he struggled to be let down. Haruhi placed him down on the ground steadily after a word was given by his father to "behave" himself.

"Yes, daddy," Takumi bowed his head as his father helped her out of the limo.

"Hey, who's the girl with Ootori-kun?"

"Is that their child?"

"Doesn't she look like Haruhi-kun?"

"My goodness! She does!"

"You don't suppose they are related?"

"Ah! Now I want to see Haruhi-kun!"

Haruhi laughed softly to herself as she listened to their conversation behind Tamaki's squealing group of fangirls. Kyouya smirked in her direction, having obviously heard that same conversation, and, as she took Takumi's hand, escorted her up into the overly decorated Ouran High School.

"Kyouya! Haruhi!"

The entire hall became silent as Nekozawa Renge rushed up to them, squealing and excited to see them as usual. Umehito was behind her, walking carefully and steadily, as if he was holding something precious; something even more precious than his darkness.

"Renge," Haruhi greeted her with a smile before Renge launched herself at them. (Kyouya, of course, smoothly stepped out of the way to avoid her glomp.)

"Auntie Renge!" Takumi raised his arms up at her.

"Taku-chan!" Renge lifted him and hugged him as if he was a large teddy bear. "You've grown!"

"It's nice to see you again, Nekozawa-senpai," Haruhi greeted the much more confident man with a large smile.

"It's been a while," Umehito agreed. "We've been slightly busy."

"Busy?" Haruhi inquired curiously. "With what?"

At this, Renge set Takumi down and grasped Haruhi's hands excitedly.

"Haruhi, can you believe it?" Renge gushed. "Ume-chan and I are parents!"

Umehito pushed aside a bit of his cloak and Haruhi found herself staring into a pair of pretty light blue eyes.

"Her name is Rin," Renge stated proudly. "Isn't she just the cutest?!"

"Rin-chan," Haruhi said. "What a pretty name…can I hold her?"

Umehito nodded and handed her the bundle carefully and both she and Kyouya gazed upon Rin's cute face; she fondly, he in interest.

"Who is that, mommy?" Takumi tugged at her pants again.

"A new friend," she replied as she knelt to his level to give him a good look at Rin. "Her name is Nekozawa Rin. Say hello."

"Hi Rin-chan!" Takumi grinned at the little baby girl brightly. "Let's be friends!"

Rin gazed upon Takumi with large eyes and after hearing his words (and deciding she liked the sound of them) she broke into a toothless smile and reached up at him from her dark-colored blanket.

The entire hall let out an awed sigh and it was only then that Haruhi realized they were being watched. The hall was silent once more for a moment when suddenly,

"HARUHI-KUN IS A GIRL!?"

Somethingsimilar to chaos (but not quite) broke out and Haruhi (acting upon her instincts as a woman) quickly returned Rin to her parents as Kyouya lifted Takumi in his arms so that he wouldn't be trampled on. They managed to make it outside and into the Garden Maze before Haruhi began to run out of breath from running and laughing at the same time.

"I didn't expect them to find out like that," Haruhi laughed breathlessly as they slowed into a walk. "I expected something less hectic."

Kyouya didn't answer her as they strolled deeper into the maze, surrounded by the scent of blossoming roses and speckles of light. It was beautiful out—the moon had yet to rise but the last tendrils of the sunset were already beginning to disappear from the darkening sky, signaling its entrance. The air had cooled down, and a small breeze picked up.

Haruhi watched Kyouya silently as Takumi struggled in his arms to be let down. Once his feet touched the ground, he began to skip alongside of them, chasing after the season's fireflies.

"It's been a while since we walked around here," Kyouya broke the comfortable silence.

"Yes," Haruhi smiled up at him as they seated themselves in a nearby gazebo, watching as Takumi plopped down on the green grass, panting for breath after failing to catch the insects with fluorescent bottoms. "It's been a while since we've been out together as a family, hasn't it?"

After a few moments of silence and watching Takumi play excitedly by himself (and exhausting himself in the process, resulting in him flopping down on the ground and rolling on the grass like a puppy), she allowed Kyouya to take her hand and lead her back out of the gazebo. They stopped in front of Takumi and he prepared to jump up, knowing that he was going to get a scolding for acting so undignified. Instead, Kyouya sat down beside his son and pulled her down with him.

Takumi's wide eyes were replaced with a broad smile and he clambered over to them, settling in between their legs, grinning widely, showing off his missing front teeth. Haruhi smiled down at him and hugged him fondly with her free arm as Kyouya placed a hand on his mussed head.

"Did you see where they went?"

"I lost them a while back."

"Can you believe Haruhi-kun is a girl?"

"A pretty one, at that!"

"I always thought Haruhi-kun would be with Tamaki-sama,"

"But I think Kyouya-sama and Haruhi-kun make a good couple too,"

"Did you see their son? He was adorable!"

"Aww…but to think my beloved Haruhi was a girl…"

"I know—it was the first time my heart went doki-doki and she was a girl!"

Takumi stared at them with wide eyes as they began to laugh silently, bodies shaking with suppressed laughter. Tears ran out of her eyes as she patted Takumi's stomach affectionately and buried her face into Kyouya's shaking shoulder.

"There you are," they heard a voice behind them. "Why are you laughing?"

Somehow, Tamaki's question only furthered the hilarity of their situation, and Haruhi found that she could no longer breathe properly. She wheezed for a couple of moments as Tamaki seated himself across from them, a look of confusion etched on his face as they continued to laugh until finally, their laughing began to ease.

"I haven't seen you two laugh like that in a while," Tamaki spoke with a bright smile. "Then again, Kyouya's been gone for six months."

Haruhi smiled at Tamaki and then up at her husband. Yes, it's been a while since they've been together.

"Ah! There's Haru-chan and Kyou-chan!" a very familiar, sugary voice could be heard behind them and Haruhi turned to find Hani and Mori heading their way. "We were looking all over for you!"

"Hani-senpai! Mori-senpai!" Haruhi exclaimed, waving at them.

The cute senior was taller now with a rather mature something about him but he still possessed the same, cute air—and Haruhi had no doubts that he still had that monstrous sweet tooth. Not to mention that he still held Usa-chan safely in his arms, slightly worn but nevertheless, in very good condition. His cousin, Morinozuka Takashi, hasn't seemed to have changed at all…except, perhaps, looking slightly older, thanks to the rather matured and weathered look that he possessed compared to the bouncy, hyperactive boy next to him.

"I missed you, Haru-chan!" Hani launched himself at her, his eyes sparkling with Usa-chan in tow. "We haven't seen you in ages!" Without waiting for a reply, he launched into a series of updates on himself and the tall cousin next to him, "I'm glad Takashi and I made it in time! We were held back at the dojo because our students have been putting forth extra effort for the dojo tournaments coming up in the fall. You should come and watch, Haru-chan! Oh, and you should visit the sweets shop when you have the time too—we have a huge strawberry line coming out soon! And…and…!"

Haruhi laughed as Hani began to trip over his words, obviously overexcited at the sight of their little club gathered together again. Now the only people they were missing were the Cheshire cats that they all knew so well…

"There's a huge ruckus inside the school," one of the anticipated voices spoke up from behind them. "And no one's taking charge of it."

"Tono, since you're the chairman of the school, shouldn't you calm everyone back at the school?"

"Hika-chan! Kao-chan!" Hani waved to them vigorously. "You managed to make it!"

"Yeah," Hikaru gave them a lopsided grin. "We caught the last plane to Japan really last minute. I'm glad we actually made it."

"Uncle Hikaru! Uncle Kaoru!" Takumi nearly pulled out of her arms and jumped up at them. "Did you bring me any presents!?"

"Takumi,"

At the sound of his father's voice, Takumi quieted as Hikaru gave a small laugh and patted him on the head, "Don't worry, sport, we've got presents for you."

Haruhi stood, stretching as she smiled at the two successful designers in front of her, "It's been a while, Hikaru. Kaoru."

"Haruhi," Kaoru's smile brightened as they both took a single long stride towards her before enveloping her in a familiar sandwich hug. "How are you?"

"Good," she answered as she smiled up at them. She caught Hikaru throwing a couple of misaimed glares at her husband who deflected them with a simple raised eyebrow. "And you?"

"We're doing fine," Kaoru laughed, giving Hikaru a light jab in the ribs as they let go of her by the order of the Shadow King's heated stare. "We're getting married."

"Congratulations!" Hani bounced around and made Usa-chan give the twins a hug in best wishes. Tamaki, having felt so moved that his beloved devil sons are getting married, could say nothing as he vigorously shook both of their hands.

Haruhi was silent for a moment, "To each other?"

She could have sworn she heard a cough behind her where Kyouya was standing.

"Our parents would disapprove," Hikaru huffed, although obviously looking disappointed as he pulled away from Tamaki and Hani. "Considering we're required to invite them to our wedding, I don't think that would be a very good idea."

"We're getting married to the models we've been working with since we started our brand of clothing," Kaoru explained. "We're fond of them and each other and vice versa, so it works out nicely."

Haruhi was drawing a blank. She was sure that she was supposed to know who they were talking about but she was feeling her memory fail her.

"You know," Hikaru tried to spark her memory, "the two girls who nearly had a run-in with Kyouya-senpai when all of us tried to force you into our new line of lingerie."

"Ah," Haruhi remembered now. "I think they were quite offended by Kyouya's choice of words."

"As they should have been," Kyouya seemed to have growled slightly.

"Of course, of course," Kaoru said hastily as he laughed uncomfortably before altering the direction of their conversation. "Anyway, we haven't got the date planned or anything—the engagement had been made about a week ago—so we'll send out invitations as soon as we're organized."

"You'll be there, won't you?" Hikaru eyed Kyouya warily as if daring him to prevent Haruhi from attending the wedding.

"Of course we will," Haruhi answered as she picked up Takumi, who had been pulling at her pants for the longest time. "We'll definitely try to make it."

She smiled up at Kyouya and found him letting out a sigh in addition to giving her a single nod.

"We're invited too, aren't we, Kao-chan?" Hani gazed up at the more mature twin with big watery eyes.

"Of course, of course," Kaoru raised his hands as he replied hastily to prevent the martial artist from turning on the waterworks. "You're all invited."

"Even Usa-chan?"

"Yes, even Usa-chan," Kaoru answered cheerfully as his twin's smile twitched slightly at the thought of their fashionable wedding being invaded by pink stuffed bunny rabbits. "I'm sure Arisa-chan would love Usa-chan."

"Ooh! Which one is Arisa-chan? Do you have a picture to show daddy?"

As Hani and Tamaki pestered the twins for more information about their fiancés, Haruhi smiled down at Takumi who seemed to be slightly dozing off on her shoulder.

"Are you tired, Takumi?" Haruhi turned her smile towards her husband as he bent slightly to converse with their son.

"I'm not tired!" Takumi retaliated before ending the sentence with a loud yawn. "I'm awake, daddy!"

Kyouya gave a chuckle and patted Takumi on the head as he straightened up, "We'll see about that, Takumi."

"Should we head home?" Haruhi asked quietly as Takumi's breathing slowed to a consistent pace. "He's already asleep."

"We'll stay for a little while,"

Haruhi was slightly surprised at his willingness to stay at the reunion, but then again…that was so like him.

"Yes," she smiled up at him as he bent his head to kiss her lightly on the lips. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

He said nothing as he pulled away only to embrace her and Takumi warmly in his arms. His arms were so comforting and as she gazed up at him, he gazed down at her through unreadable eyes before he gave her a small smile. Her heart fluttered, even after those amazing years with him, and she could only respond with a light, uncharacteristic blush.

Their conversations were simple and repetitive, but somehow, she found it appropriate. It wasn't that their conversations were limited because it was awkward to be together again after such a long period of time, but rather, they both missed the small talks they made before Kyouya left for an extended business trip. It was somewhat of a habit for them—most words were unnecessary—and this made Haruhi happy to know that nothing has changed. Or perhaps they have in a warm, loving way that she cannot describe. All she knew now was that she was happy with this man and that this man, with those dark, mysterious obsidian eyes, felt the same way she did.

"Come on, you two; what are you standing around for?"

"We can't very well go in without you!"

"Usa-chan wants some cake!"

"HARUHI! KYOUYA! Let's go in together!"

"It took us forever to find you, and the darkness cannot wait!"

"Hurry up, Haruhi! Rin-chan wants to play with Taku-chan some more!"

Their attention was stolen by the group a rather long way away (joined by Renge and Umehito with their daughter) and Haruhi gave Kyouya a sideways glance before they exchanged small content smiles.

"We're coming!" Haruhi called out as they slowly made their way to their dearest friends.

Kyouya silently transferred Takumi into his arms before taking her hand in his free one and together, they set off together to join their friends for this reunion, for the future Hitachiin wedding, and for the rest of their lives.

Author's Note: Hello, everyone! I have broken my promise about not writing a continuation to Kimi no Koe and Touch of Serenity and I proudly present the official last part of this series! For those of you who cursed me for chapter five of Touch of Serenity, here is my apology! (bows deeply) I could write some more for the series, but that could technically be considered a whole new story—we'll see. Maybe someone will inspire me one day. Either way, I hope you all enjoyed it! (And for those of you who don't know much about Kyouya and Haruhi's love-background (as well as Tamaki's love-background), I really do suggest you read Kimi no Koe andTouch of Serenity!)

Please drop a comment if you have the time. I'd love to see what ideas you want to me to try out or what you thought about this addition to the story. It makes me really happy and sometimes inspires me to write some more fluffy KyouxHaru fanfics. 

- "Tamaki-senpai" The prefix -senpai is used for those higher than you. For example, an 8th grader would call an 11th grader "-senpai"
- "Akiko-san" The prefix -san is used for those who are not close to you and is unisex. (It is also used to be polite)
- "Ootori-kun" The prefix -kun is used for (in most cases) males.
- "Tamaki-sama" The suffix -sama is used as either "master" or "king" by servants, or those of lower lineage/positions in society
- "doki-doki" The sound a heart makes when it's excited.
- "Taku-chan" The suffix -chan is used for those either younger than you, or someone you are affectionately close to.
- "Garden Maze" This is only in the anime! I don't recall being in the manga, it's a maze created by rose bushes with random gazebos in it. I don't usually reference the anime, but the Garden Maze really was pretty and I thought it created a nice atmosphere for Kyouya, Haruhi, and Takumi.

Feedback is really appreciated. Constructive criticism is also appreciated. Mean flames are retaliated with my evil dust kitties and their water furballs...so don't try them. You'll regret it. Really.

Thank you for reading!
