Ok so its me… Yokaimori, I would say call me Mori-chan for short but then we might confuse me with Mori-sempai so let's go with… Ai-chan! So right now I am listening to the opening song from an anime called K-ON and its soooo CUTE!!! Anyways, this is a Ritsu Kasanoda fanfic and I hope you like it.

I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. Bisco Hatori does. I only own my OC character/s.

Also… the title of this story is based off of Imogen Heap's song Wait it out from her album Ellipse. I was listening to it and thought that it would make a nice title since it does somewhat pertain to the story plot, if only a little.

Wait it Out

Chapter 1: Security Breach

"Good morning Young Lord!"

Ritsu Kasanoda groaned and rolled over on his futon, not wanting to awaken from his slumber where he had dreamed of a certain brown haired cross dresser. Tetsuya Sendo, not to be outdone by the redhead, opened the curtain, letting the beams of early morning sunshine rain down upon his master's face.

"Young Lord, you really should get up. It's a lovely day outside and the men were wondering if perhaps you would like to play a game of kick the ca-"

Suddenly there was a loud explosion from the courtyard. Jumping up from his futon, the two men ran out the door to be greeted by a billow of smoke. Throughout the area they could hear Ritsu's men shouting and scrambling for weapons with which to defend their much loved future boss. As the smoke cleared however, Tetsuya was the first to see the intruder. Gasping, stared at the figure standing in the middle of the courtyard.

"Nanami?"

The girl turned towards them, her stormy blue-grey eyes glaring daggers at Ritsu. Before he could so much as make a sound she was in front of him, grabbing him by the collar and pulling his face until it was inches away from hers. He couldn't help but note the smell of daisies which emanated from her. Glaring at him, she tightened her hold on his shirt.

"Where's my brother you KIDNAPPER?!?!"

"MAH?!?!"

She blinked, loosening her grip just a tad. Lowering her head slightly, she released Ritsu. Ritsu, caught completely by surprise, fell on his butt in front of the girl, who started shaking. Twitching slightly, he looked up at her face.

"What the…? Are you… alright?"

"Hahahahahaha! What a face!" She gasped, clutching her sides as she bent over. "It was sooo cute!"

"WHA-?!?!" Ritsu shouted, his face glowing as red as his hair.

As the girl tried to regain her composure, Tetsuya placed his hand on her shoulder. Turning to face him with tears of laughter in her eyes she glared up at him before stopping.

"O-Onii-chan?"

"So it is you Nanami." Tetsuya whispered, hugging the girl tightly.

"Yes Onii-chan! I came to save you, but now I see that I was wrong." Pointing to Ritsu she continued. "I can tell just by looking in his eyes that he couldn't kidnap someone even if he wanted to. He is too kind. Is that why you are here Onii-chan? Are you here because of him?"

Tetsuya smiled at Ristu, and then at his sister. "Yeah sis; the young lord Kasanoda-sama rescued me after I left the Sendo house. I wish to stay here and protect him with my life if I must because he will make a truly wonderful boss someday."

Ritsu stood slowly, embarrassed by Tetsuya's words. Watching the two siblings he noticed that they did have similar features. They both had the same color eyes, although the girl's hair was blonde while Tetsuya's was somewhat of a brown color.

"Kasanoda-sama?"

The girl's voice brought him out of his thoughts. Looking down at her he blinked.

"Hn?"

Before he could blink a second time, Nanami flung herself upon the ground, bowing before him.

"Kasanoda-sama, my name is Nanami Sendo, younger sister to Tetsuya Sendo who was once of the Sendo clan. My wish is to follow my brother even if it means that I must also leave the Sendo family so please allow me to join your clan!" Looking up at him she smirked, "Besides, I agree with my brother when he says that you are going to be a great boss someday. I can tell."

---Nanami's POV---

"Well that went surprisingly well eh Onii-chan?" I asked my brother as we walked down one of the halls of the Kasanoda house. Kasanoda-sama had allowed me to stay since Onii-chan vouched for me, saying that I was a hard worker and trustworthy and all that. Currently we were heading towards one of the unused guest bedrooms. Since I was the only female aside from my new boss's wife I would get a room all to myself.

"Yes, but I knew that the young lord would be lineate." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and laid his head on mine. "I am so glad you are here sis… I have worried about you ever since I left the household. I didn't know what they would put you through since you would be the new heir after I left."

I shrugged my shoulders as best as I could.

"Meh… Since I'm a girl they didn't do much except some 'future wife' training. You know Otou-san, always looking for me a good family to marry into." I smiled, hugging my brother, "It doesn't matter now though, because I am gonna stay here with you and Kasanoda-sama from now on!"

Hmmm… Why do I get the feeling I am forgetting something important…?

Stopping halfway down the hallway, we stopped at a door on our left. Sliding open the door, Onii-chan nodded in approval.

"Yep! This room will do just fine! So sis, where is your luggage? I will help you carry it."

"AHHHH!!! That's what I forgot! Wait here while I go home and grab my crap ok."

I turned and immediately ran down the hallway waving my hand behind me.

Ok now it will be around afternoon by the time I get to the house so it should be relatively empty 'cept for a few of the regular guys so I should be able to sneak in and out rather easy. Now what to bring…

--Ritsu's POV--

"Uh… Y-you can… can stay… I guess s-since you-you're Tet-tetsuya's s-sister an' all."

I rethought my decision for maybe the 10th time since it happened. I never expected Tetsuya to have a sister, but why did she wait so long before coming to find him.

Didn't she know that Tetsuya left the Sendo clan? I wonder why she showed up now to find him and bring him home…

Reaching the fork in the hallway I was walking I stopped when a streak of blonde passed by me. I stared after the girl as she disappeared at a turn in the hall.

"So… fast…"

The sound of footsteps caught my attention. Turning to face the way she had come I saw Tetsuya walking up to me. His smile was different then what it normally was, probably because his sister was here. I could see it in his eyes just how much he adored her.

"Ah… Young Lord, thank you so much for allowing Nanami to stay. I was worried that she might get in trouble when she came back home and found me gone, though she shouldn't have come back for another 3 years at least. I guess she is just visiting though."

I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean come back? And why another 3 years?"

"Well you see… Nanami's been in the country living with one of the lesser branches of the family. Otou-san planned on marrying her into one of the Sendo's budiness partners when she graduated high school and he did not want her 'fraternizing' with any young men when he considered her already taken."

"I…I see then." I did the math in my head. "So I guess that makes her a first year like me huh?"

Tetsuya's head snapped up suddenly from where he was looking down, apparently thinking.

"Oh-! Yes, I guess you are."

"So… I guess this new girl will be attending Ouran with you then my son!"

I jumped at my father's voice.

How does he do that?!?!

I turned to face my father, a strict man whose hair had faded over the years. Yet, as scary as his face was, mine was by far scarier. Tetsuya and I bowed before the head of Kasanoda household.

"Yes, father."

He smirked.

"Considering she was able to break into our home so easily, she should prove useful in keeping you safe from our enemies who would wish to harm you. Besides," he nudged my shoulder, winking, "She is a rather pretty thing once ya get a good lookit 'er. Perhaps you could marry her one a these days eh'?"

"MAH?!?!"

Chapter End
