Okay y'all… Before we start anything… I'm really conflicted. Who should I put Haruhi with in the end? Kyo? Hikaru? Or Tamaki? Those are the only three I would really be able to write though… Sorry if y'all wanted another. But I was thinking of maybe pairing some of the hosts with the sohmas. Like… idk. Maybe Kagura with Hikaru or Kaoru or something? Tell me what y'all think, I won't make anything definite. But I think I may put Haruhi with Kyo… just because.. Yeah. But I'll still take your votes to mind!

Haruhi sprinted through the halls of Ouran, dodging students as she went, trying to move as fast as she could.

'I can't believe I'm running late again! I was only going to read for ten minutes, that was going to leave me plenty of time to get here!" She thought in frustration, trying to keep her stamina up as she ran. Eventually, she made it to where she needed to be. Music room 3. The home of the Ouran Highschool Host Club.

Haruhi burst through the doors, breathing heavily.

"Kyoya! I'm sorry I'm late! Please don't add to my debt!" Haruhi said quickly, trying to regain her breath. Luckily, she didn't have any guests at the moment, so he shouldn't have any reason to punish her. But Haruhi would take Kyoya's punishment of added debt any day over Akito's punishment. Haruhi shuddered just thinking about her past life with Akito. When she was in her second year of middle school, two and a half years ago, she was sent to live with Ranka. She actually had no familial ties with Ranka, but he was good friends with Ayame, Shigure, and Hatori when they were young. He was like an uncle to her.

Haruhi was so absorbed in her thoughts, that she almost didn't notice that Tamaki was racing towards her, ready to pull her into a bone-crushing hug. Luckily, she noticed in time, and stepped to the side to avoid him. He crashed to the ground next to her, wailing about how he wouldn't let him even give her one hug. Haruhi sighed.

"I've told you before senpai. I don't like being hugged by anyone. Especially not guys. It's not your fault." Tamaki still cried, and Haruhi laughed quietly as the twins began to sneak up on her. For the past few weeks, that's all the hosts have been trying to do. Hug her. It's almost like the time when they made a game out of trying to figure out what she was scared of. She ducked as one twin jumped at her, and move to the side as the other tried to get her from the side. They both crashed to the ground, and she was about to lecture them both when a voice came on over the speakers.

"Haruhi Fujioka, please come down to the office, you have someone here to see you." The entire club looked at Haruhi, confused. In the year she had been there, she had never had any visitors. Haruhi shrugged, and walked out of the room and to the office. She had no clue who was visiting her, but she assumed it was either Ranka or the Zuka Club. Neither of which she wanted to see. When she made it to the office, Ranka was sitting there, waiting for her. The secretary at the desk nodded and looked up at Ranka.

"Alright Mr. Fujioka. The paperwork has been filled out, and Haruhi has been officially removed from Ouran Highschool." Haruhi looked at Ranka in shock.

"What?!" She nearly screamed. Ranka flinched, and stood up.

"I'll explain in the car Haruhi." He muttered, grabbing her arm and pulling her outside. Haruhi walked along numbly, not bothering to question Ranka. When they got in the car, Ranka turned to her, tears filling his eyes.

"Haruhi, you're going back." He said, tears streaming from his eyes. "I don't know why, but I'm taking you to Shigure's house now."

"There will be no need for that, you filthy crossdresser. We will take her from here. I dont' need you tainting her presence any more." A cruel voice said from Ranka's open car door. Haruhi froze, recognising it immediately.

"Ranka. I love you. I'll see you later… okay?" Haruhi said softly, stepping out of the car. Akito grabbed her hand, piercing it with his sharp nails. Haruhi flinched, but didn't cry out, hoping that Ranka wouldn't notice. He didn't, and Haruhi was pushed roughly into the limo. Hatori was in the front, ready to pull out. Akito sat in the front with Hatori, saying nothing. Haruhi looked at her hands the entire car ride, not wanting to make a sound, hoping that this was all a nightmare. But, as the car pulled to a stop, she could tell it wasn't. When she stepped out of the car and faced Akito, he scowled at her. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain shoot through her face as Akito slapped her.

"Grow out your hair again… pet. And make sure you don't screw anything up." He hissed, before turning back into the car, leaving Haruhi standing outside of Shigure's home, holding a hand to her cheek. She stood there for almost 30 minutes before the door opened, and her twin brother, Yuki stepped out.

He was as shocked to see her as she was to see him, and they stood, facing each other, until Yuki finally snapped out of it. His violet eyes filled with joy, and he ran over to where she was standing, pulling her into a hug.

"Welcome home cub." He said softly, holding her close. Haruhi's eyes filled with tears as she returned the hug, feeling hope for the first time since Ranka had picked her up.

"But… is this home… or hell?"

Alright. Short chapter. Lame chapter. Bad snow! Hahaha, sorry about how short it is. I have places to be, and wanted to get this up. Plus, before I continue too far, I want to see what y'all think about the pairings. Just leave a review. It's either Kyo, Tamaki, or Hikaru with Haruhi. But I want y'all to help me pick. So please review! I promise to update as soon as I get enough reviews!

Thanks for reading!
