Okay, This new story I did last year but never really got around to posting it, but here it is. Only 2 chapters.
This is mostly around Hikaru! =D I mean, with what he felt about this. Enjoy! =]
Rest In Peace Dear Friend
Why is it that when the sky is gloomy and grey, the day is not as cheerful as you would like it to be. The main days it is like this is when there has been death. The worst possible day of a funeral. It can be so saddening, especially if the one who passed away is your best friend, who you loved since meeting this person. Even if they did not love you in that way, but loved another, they still remained in your heart. This shows how Hikaru Hitachiin was feeling on this miserable day.
After the funeral, the hosts stayed and were looking upon the grave of their dearly departed friend. None of them were their usual cheery self. Remembering all the memories of when she walked upon music room 3 from the day she left them. They remembered how they mistook her for a boy but eventually found out she was indeed, the girl who they loved dearly. She died not long ago, at a mere age of 20. It was a few weeks after giving birth. It was Tamaki's baby. Hikaru still did not get over her when she told him that she was not in love with him. He still loves her now. When he and the other hosts witnessed the baby being born, Tamaki fainted but Hikaru just looked and smiled. He was happy that she could have experienced something like that even though it was not with him. They would have never expected her to fall ill not soon after and then leave them. When they look upon the sky, they see her - grey clouds that show she is miserable. It is so sad.
Tamaki had the baby in the pram while looking towards the grave. He had tears forming in his eyes. He was not afraid to cry for real. She was the only person who really loved the real him. He was happy with her. He felt complete. Now, he feels incomplete without her. He hoped to have her at his side, with a family just like the host club. But now that is in vain. He remembered a lot of memories with her. He wished he could have more memories to come.
Flashback -
"Will you... marry me?" The frantic Tamaki asked while he was on his knee looking for the ring from his pocket. He was very nervous. He pulled it out and showed the huge diamond on the ring.
The girl looked at him, her big brown eyes suddenly grew watery. She then suddenly smiled, and nodded not able to say anything. She ran over to him and kissed him on the lips while hugging.
End
Kyoya was standing next to Tamaki. His black book and laptop were not with him on this day. They were back at his mansion. He has been too miserable to do anything with them. He missed the cross-dresser who used to smile. He missed the high school days of the host club. Even though it meant losing a lot of money. He missed it too.
Flashback -
The boy, Kyoya was sitting down in the park one day until he noticed a certain cross-dresser. She had an enormous belly as he noticed. She saw him and smiled, walking over. "Oh! Kyoya-senpai!" she exclaimed. "I did not know I would run into you here," her smile was the only thing shining that day.
Kyoya smiled, "same goes for me." he then looked at the belly. "It wont be long, until she comes out." he then looked up, "Worried?" She shook her head while smiling at him. That was not long ago, a week before she had her baby.
End
Honey was on the other side of Tamaki. The boy who used to be quite short was a bit taller then he was. He was still the sweet and innocent that they knew. He was brawling his eyes out while looking at the grave of his friend. He was hugging Mori who was at the side of him, patting him on the head. Honey missed her a lot. He wanted to hug her like he used to when she was around. Like in the high school days.
Flashback -
Honey was looking in a book while grinning to himself. A girl suddenly walked on up to him, "What are you looking at Honey-senpai?" she asked with a smile while trying to look over his shoulder. Her belly was quite big at that moment.
Honey noticed her and grinned, "Oh hi!" he exclaimed then looked back. "Baby names for your little girl!" he said happily.
She laughed, "Don't you think I should do that? You know as the mother?" she said while still laughing.
Honey giggled, "Just leave it to me!" He said determined. They both continued laughing that day.
End
Mori who was patting Honey, was staring stoic. He knew it himself that he missed her. He did not want to show it to the others. A tear would drop or two but he was just quiet. He remembered saving her some days. He remembered the girl who was quiet. He would secretly watch her while she was hosting with the girls. Them days were never meant to last forever. He wanted them to.
Flashback -
He was not near Honey that day. Honey was in the cake shop while he was in the café a few blocks away. He sat there waiting. Until he heard a voice, "Mori-senpai?" he looked up and saw her. He smiled to greet her. "Where is Honey-senpai?" she wondered.
"At the cake shop," he said simply. This was after she came back from America at the age of 18. She did get married at the age of 19. Mori kept glancing every now towards her as she continued smiling. "How was America?" he asked bluntly trying to keep the conversation.
The girl grinned, "It went well," she mentioned, short but sweet. "Hopefully I will see my dream through until I become a lawyer like my mother..." Her dream never came true. She died before it happened.
"Me too..." Mori mentioned. They kept the conversation rolling for the time until Honey came back.
End
Kaoru was on the other side of Kyoya. He was stood there, holding onto Hikaru's hand for dear life. He was helpless and he knew it. Tears fell from his eyes, one after another. He loved her like the others. He admitted it once before to her but... he let her go for Hikaru's sake. However, she fell for Tamaki instead. He did not mind that, at least she was close. He did sincerely miss her. The only girl in the world who told them apart when they had the same hair colour. She knew their personality. He wondered if there would ever be any other girl to tell them apart and to accept them.
Flashback -
The twin boys, Hikaru and Kaoru grinned at the girl. "Come! Lets play the which one is Hikaru game!" they exclaimed.
The girl grunted, "Come on guys! I won all the games so far..." she mumbled the last part.
"This is different!" they said in unison. "Please!" they begged.
She rolled her eyes, "Fine..." Few minutes later after playing the game for ages, "See, I won... again!" she exclaimed while laughing. She will not be able to play those games with them any more.
"Again!" they said in unison. So she rolled her eyes and went along with it. This was after graduation from high school, they wanted to play one more time.
End
Now, Hikaru holding onto Kaoru. He has not let go of the cross-dresser. He wanted her to live and be happy. Even if she was not living for him, he knew that. He wished that he could see her smile one more time before they go. He wished that she would grow older with each of the hosts. He wished that she was here. He never understood why God had to take her away now. He loves her still and always will. He was no longer afraid to weep with people seeing it. He knew they were crying for the one they loved too. So he did, he cried like his heart content. All those memories are a pain to repeat.
Flashback -
It was before she got married. Before the stress began. She was in the dressing room, waiting for the time to happen. Hikaru was wondering around, actually looking for that room she was in. He wanted to wish her good luck personally. He passed the room and quickly went back, seeing her sat at the mirror. She was looking at herself while fidgeting with her fingers. She was alone in the room. Hikaru stood by the door. "Nervous?" he suddenly asked.
The girl turned around startled, her brown eyes staring at the boy. "Oh... erm... Hikaru..." she mumbled, "Me? Nervous...?" she started to laugh nervously.
Hikaru grinned, "Oh, is our little girl nervous?" he joked and got fully into the room. She stayed quiet and sighed. "It's going to be ok."
She then turned around, "Why are you doing here anyway?" she asked curiously.
"Can't I wish you luck on your big day?" he said with a slight joke. "Anyway, it is the groom that can't see the bride." He was hurt of course. He would not admit it. He wanted to be the one marrying this girl in the room. She actually looked glowing. She had changed quite a bit since high school. Her wedding dress was on her perfectly. He could actually see some of top part filling in on her. Although it would sound like he was a pervert, but then again, not. The girl turned back around to the mirror. Hikaru sighed, "You look lovely."
She pouted, "I don't..." Hikaru was about to say something else but she beat him, "What if I make a fool of myself!"
Hikaru laughed, "You wont..." It was silent for a few minutes.
"Hikaru..." She mumbled. "Are you ok?" she wondered while still facing the mirror. Hikaru stared at her a few minutes, "I have not seen you in so long. I was a bit worried."
Hikaru looked down. Had it been that long? He would not know. It did not feel as long to him. "I..." he mumbled, "Had to sort things out..."
"Please, you can talk to me, you know?" She mumbled.
"I know..." he muttered, "But you know when I told you I loved you?" he said out loud, and then noticed her head nod, "I still mean it now. I wont stop loving you, I just hope you every happiness in life."
The girl looked down, not replying. "Thank you..." she mumbled. He almost swore to have seen a tear fall, but ignored it.
"I... got to go..." he mumbled about to leave the room. However, before he did, he suddenly noticed a pair of small arms around him. "Wha..."
"Hikaru... I'm sorry!" her eyes were now watered with tears, "Maybe when we all die, maybe... you could be my first choice... in the next life..." she mumbled into his shirt. It was too late. She passed away first before them all. "Until then... please wait..."
Hikaru sighed, turning around and hugging her back. "I would like that... Please be happy..."
End
It rained. Just like how they all felt. Just like how she is probably feeling, looking down on them all, crying. It was hard to let go of someone who had a big influence in their lives. She had so much to live for. They knew that. As they all remembered the memories of the girl they once knew. Even some from high school or when they graduated. She will live on in their memories.
They left one by one as the rain started to subside. The cloudy sky did not. The last one standing was Hikaru. Tamaki went before him shedding tears. Hikaru carried on looking upon the grave. He read the words –
Here lies Haruhi Fujioka.
A girl loved by many.
Now has gone to heaven.
May she rest in peace.
1991 – 2011
Rereading the words many times, he walked away. Having one last glance before he left then started looking down and walking to the awaiting limo. Shedding more tears.
