Chapter 1: Ouran
Before she was able to leave Paris, Akira had to settle her business regarding Akio. Tamaki had gone ahead of her to settle in his new home and to make accommodations for her. During Akios trial, she told the court everything he'd done to her. He was sentenced to five years in prison.
Her mothers company was taken over by its vice chairman, who would also be trustee to Akira's future fortune. Unfortunately, her mothers will stated that she wasn't to see a penny of it until she turned 18 if she was to pass before then. This wasn't because of her contempt for Akira, the will was made long before. This was a lesson her mother had intended that was taught to her by her parents. She wanted to teach Akira independence, so that if she were to live without her mother she'd know how to support herself without relying on her fortune.
In the meantime Akira would stay with Tamaki and his father. She arrived at the Suoh estate a week after Tamaki. The two of them would attend the school his family owned, Ouran Academy. Akira would be appointed a counceler from the school if she ever needed someone to talk to. After her attempt on her life, she would need to see her councilor at least once a week until they decided she no longer neded to.
Akira had arrived three days after Tamaki, and two days before they were to start at Ouran. Tamaki greeted her warmly as she was used to, "Akira!" He ran to her and welcomed her with a tight embrace. As he pulled away he extended his arm to present the estate, "Welcome to your temporary home, princess."
Akira looked at the mansion and frowned, "Such a western structure." In an instant Tamaki was on his hands and knees in defeat.
"I know, you can imagine my disappointment when I first found out. How am I expected to become one with my Japanese heritage if I continue to live a Parisian lifestyle," he said dramatically with one hand over his heart, the other streached out behind him. "But fear not!" He stood upright and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "Once we make friends with our fellow classmates, they can show us all of Japan!"
She stared at him for a moment as he basked in his sureness, "What make you so sure that we'll make friends so easily?"
He looked her in the eyes and let out a chuckle, "Well, who could say no to this beautiful face of mine."
she laughed as he posed to eccentuate his 'beauty'. They then walked into the house. Tamaki showed her to her room where her things were already arranged for her. "Oh, I almost forgot," Tamaki said walked into the closet and brought out a brown school uniform. "You should try it on!"
Tamaki sat at her desk while she changed in the large closet. When she finally came out, Tamaki put his hands to his cheeks and squeeled. "You look so cute!" Akira smiled and rolled her eyes at his flattery. She then looked in the mirror next to the closet. She looked like a student, something she wasn't used to. Both she and Tamaki were homeschooled by the same tutor. Tamaki was really the only friend she'd ever had. She knew it wouldn't be hard for him to become aquainted with the student body, his charm at the very least would earn him admirers. Akira was scared, especially being that her suicide attempt and stepfathers trial were all over the news.
When Tamaki finally realized that she hadn't been paying attention to him, he saw her standing in the mirror. Her head was down and she was shaking. Tamaki walked over to her and placed his hand on top of her head. Once he did, she stopped shaking and looked at him as he smiled down at her. "Lets make losts of friends, okay?"
His violet eyes melted away her fears. He chuckled as he saw her indigo eyes light up and she gave him a small smile. This was a new chapter in both of their lives, and they were both glad that they'd be enduring it together.
