The Shadow Kings Forbidden Love

Haruhi Fujioka

Honestly this past time with the Host Club I've felt happy. Never before have I had friends like them, but it was time to move on. I haven't told any of the members yet but my father and I are moving to America to live with my uncle Eliot Fujioka (he was given an American name when he was born). With my dad just working we've been unable to keep affording the apartment along with the utensil bills, so my Uncle Lee (which is my nickname for him) offered us to stay at his place in America. This also means I'll be going to an American school, but I've decided not to say anything about it to the other members and let them enjoy their night. If I did say anything about it they'll just treat me like a poor commoner girl who doesn't know how to take care of herself and offer money and/or a place to stay which is something I would never agree to. Its better this way, I thought as Tamaki danced with me holding me close. The loud booms of fireworks were bursting in the sky. I smiled at Tamaki knowing this may be the last time I see this crazy senpai. All of the Host Club turns to watch the fireworks. While watching I feel Tamaki's hand grab mine. I look up to finding him smiling at the fireworks, I smile as well just seeing his smile, but it quickly turned into a frown as I looked down. I couldn't bear thinking that pretty soon I won't be with the Host Club any more, with their crazy plans and ideas to serve the girls of Ouran High, and them always discovering commoner ways.

It's been three months since I've left Japan to America. The members of the Host Club having been calling me non-stop leaving voicemails but I haven't deleted any of them thinking this may be the last time I hear their voices… like I said I've never had friends like them. I've been fitting in America fine but for some reason the guys keep asking me on dates or to be their girlfriend, apparently being from Japan I'm exotic and sexy, they don't understand. You should like someone for who they are not what gender they are or how they look. They just don't understand and base everything on appearances and gender. Uncle Lee says it's very common for American boys to act that way. Anyways we moved into this place called Virginia, not sure what city but it's Virginia, it's rainy but I like it.

It was Monday, as I was walking to school in my uniform I caught a glimpse of my school; Virginia Academy. I let out a sigh. I was still used to the big, fancy, rich kid high school of Ouran High. As I walked in I was making my way over to my locker but was stopped by Brian. "Hey Haruhi, how's it going?" he asked. Brian had brown hair, with brown eyes, and golden tan skin, he's a jock who plays football and is extremely popular. He was probably every normal girls dream man, but I'm not every normal girl. He's a complete jerk who doesn't care about others feelings, and he isn't very bright or too smart. I've noticed Brian well, as the Americans say, checking me out, but I haven't really been paying attention. It's obvious that he's had a lot of girlfriends, none which gotten serious, but I know for a fact that these past days of him talking to me wasn't because he wanted us to be friends.

"I'm fine." I said. I wasn't going to talk much further, I don't really want to small talk with Brian.

"Anyways this Friday, if you're not doing anything, would you want to go to the movies with me? As like a-a-a date?" Brian stuttered rubbing his neck. He was nervous, which was very obvious just by looking at him. It was weird, I've seen him ask other girls out with full on confidence, it was hilarious to see him stutter from being nervous.

"I can't there's, we have a chemistry test on Monday so I have to study. I thought you knew that and would study too." I said opening and putting books into my locker.

"Yeah I know, but you study all the time, you should just take a break and go out with me."

"Anyways I don't find movies an appropriate place for a date. It's too dark, and loud so you don't find out anything about each other at all. It's basically useless to go." I answered choosing my words carefully. I then closed my locker waiting for his response.

When I looked up at Brian I could tell he was completely shocked and loss of words.

"Well," I said. "See you chemistry." And I walked away.

The rest of the day went like a normal school day. I studied at the library during my free period and went home to go study more. Oh and Joshua, Wendell, and Brian (again) asked me go on dates with them. I turned them down just like every day. Shouldn't they learn by now?

When I got home my father might as well broke the door down. "HARUHI HONNEY GREAT NEWS!" he yelled cheerfully. Pushing the door open and running to me as I stood confused in the yard.

"What is it?" I asked.

"WE'RE MOVING BACK TO JAPAN!" my father cheered once more. I knew he missed Japan very badly considering it was the place where he had met, and fell in love with my mother but honestly I was kind of shocked. We we're doing so well in Virginia, better than we have ever been. Why leave now?

Father took me inside and sat me down. He explained that Uncle Lee was recently feeling homesick as well and decided that we we're all to move back to Japan in the same exact apartment we had left in. They've already called Ouran High wondering if I could come back. Ouran High said they would be thrilled to have me back, since giving a scholarship to a commoner gave them a good look. So it was settled then. I was to move back to Japan along with Uncle Lee and my father, and also go back to learning from Ouran High.

In about a week we were already moved out, flown to Japan, and moved in. So once again it was Monday, and I was standing outside Ouran High with my old, old, uniform from the school I went to before the first time I went to Ouran High. What am I going to tell them? Will they even recognize me? Of course they will I've kept my hair short, I thought. Will they even keep being my friend? I kept questioning myself but decided that it's best just to go inside and see what happens. Then I checked the clock. I was late! I rushed off to my first class and stepped inside.

"Excuse me. Sorry I was late." I said to the girl teacher.

"It's quite alright Haruhi. Even if you've been away for only a couple months, it's hard to remember which room is which. Please take a seat."She said in a calm voice.

I took a seat while feeling the stares of other classmate's burn in the back of my neck. After class over I picked up my books only to have them slammed back down.

"Why'd you leave?" Hikaru half said half yelled with an angry look on his face.

"I thought you'd find out with Kyoya?" I asked.

"We did but I mean why did you just leave without asking for help or at least saying goodbye? We missed you Haruhi and you just… left." Hikaru said.

"Yeah, we're your friends and you never told us anything you juat left without a single word. We thought you were kidnapped at first until Kyoya told us the truth." Kaoru said.

"Look." I said. "Honestly I've never have had friends like you so I knew it would be way too hard to say goodbye. I didn't want to tell you about it because I knew you'd try to offer something like money or a place to stay which is something I couldn't every agree too."

"Couldn't or wouldn't? Listen like you said we are friends and that's exactly what friends do." Kaoru said.

"Kaoru could me and Haruhi have a moment alone?" Hikaru asked. With that Kaoru left with no question or jokes ask. It was really weird.

"Look." I said. "I'm sorry I just-" I began when Hikaru suddenly pushed me against the wall and started kissing my neck. I was frozen in place as his soft lips kissed my neck. "Hikaru?" I asked.
