Tsukiyaminokaze: Muhaha! i just came back from Alaska!! Wh00t!! wells, on the plane, i managed to write Chapters 2 and a part of 3...so i'll try to finish it... wows, this chapter reveils a lot of things!!
PLZ tell me how i'm doing!
Suou Tamaki was practically jumping out of the limo with excitement. 'It's the start of a whole new school year with Haruhi!! But wait...' Tamaki suddenly thought, 'what if she has changed so much that she doesn't look like herself? Or, what if she has forgotten me??' Tamaki's aura quickly changed to despair. He sat in a corner with the word "doomed" floating around his head and played with the floor. Suzume sighed then said, "Tamaki-kun, what's wrong, afraid Fujioka won't love you anymore?" she laughed softly. 'This is just like the Tamaki I remember' she thought back fondly, 'oh yeah, in those days, if he failed in anything, he would sit in a corner like he is now and play with his fingers.' Tamaki looked up and nodded slightly. "Don't worry Tamaki-kun, she won't forget someone like you!" reassured Suzume gently, "I still remember you and it's been thirteen years since we last met."
Indeed that was true. Suzume had changed from the 6-year-old aggressive girl into a shy, tomboy teenager. She fiddled with her medium length black hair and asked, "Do...do you think the others will like me?" Tamaki smiled warmly and said, "Of coarse, you're almost exactly like Haruhi. Patient, kind, and down to earth! We'll become a big family again!"
Before Tamaki could start his speech about how Suzume and Haruhi would be the two daughters, the limo stopped its engines. "Tamaki-sama, Suzume-sama, we have arrived at Sekaidetsu University." Tamaki and Suzume nodded their thanks as they got out of the car.
As they walked toward the main building, they heard a high pitched, "TAMA-CHANN!!!" and running feet. Before Tamaki knew it, a 5'3" ball of energy crashed into him. Haninozuka Mitsukuni had grown over the year, but his voice was still the adorable squeak the girls loved. "Wait right here!" he squeaked, "Haru-chan! Hika-chan! Kao-chan! Takashi!! Guess who's here!!" the said students ran up to Honey. They all ran up to Tamaki and hugged him like there was no tomorrow.
Only then did Haruhi notice Suzume. Haruhi looked up, and then asked, "Eh?" the group looked up. "OHH Tama-chan!" squealed Honey-kun, "Who's she?" Tamaki flipped his hair like he used to in the host club. "Everybody meet Suzume!" he said, "She's my--" "Ohh...she's your girlfriend?" asked the Hitachiin twins, "hey Haruhi! Looks like Tamaki spent the year in France looking for his mother, but found a girlfriend!" Haruhi, who had been turned around in this event, turned stiffly to face Tamaki. "Is this true?" she asked rigidly, "Is she your girlfriend?"
Suzume all of a sudden got the hint and started stuttering, "Wha--? No-wait-um-no-of coarse not! Um-there-uh-ahhhh!!!" She fell into a state of shock. Tears falling down, she stared blankly to the floor. Everyone (including Tamaki) sweat dropped. "Oh, a girl is crying..." murmured a voice, "Tamaki, what did you do to this girl?" Ootori Kyouya stepped out of the shadows. "Kyouya!!" shouted Tamaki, "Were you there this whole entire time?" Kyouya nodded then stooped down to Suzume's level.
She lifted her head, then froze up and gasped. "Ootori Kyouya?! No way! Hi!! My dad works for your company!" Suzume exclaimed, "…Well at least he did work there until…" Tamaki suddenly became aware of the tense aura emitted from Suzume. "Uh, well, Haruhi! This is my childhood friend, Suzume!" he desperately told Haruhi, who was glaring daggers at Tamaki, "I met her while trying to find my oka-san!" He thought it would impress her if he spoke to her in her native language. (A/N you must be confused right now, allow me to explain: Everything is in English, right? Well, everyone speaks English, but the languages they spoke in the anime are their second [maybe third…for Tamaki languages.)
Suzume blinked out of her trance. "Ah!" she cried, "Fujioka-san! Sumimasen! Sumimasen[Sorry! Sorry! Daijoubu desu-ka?[Are you okay?"
Haruhi shrugged and said, "Yeah…I'm okay…"
"Ah…that's goo--" Suzume was about to proclaim, but was interrupted by a torrent of coughs.
Everyone stopped what he was doing and encircled Haruhi and Suzume. Suzume put her hands over her mouth and let out a hacking cough. When Suzume removed her hands, she had stopped coughing. Glancing slightly at her hand, she clapped her hands together and said, "ah! Sorry guys! I'm fine! That just happens some times!" Haruhi, who was behind Suzume, saw what no other host club member saw. Before Suzume clapped her hands, there was a flash of red.
Haruhi lifted her hand and pulled Suzume's hands 'what?' she thought, eyes wide. Suzume pulled her hands back. "I-it's nothing!" she quickly said.
"Oh? Nothing?" asked Tamaki as he took her hands and pried them apart, "…Suzume… What happened?"
Suzume sighed. "Well, I guess I have to explain. After you, Tamaki, left, my father was fired from his job," she said, after pausing to glare at Kyouya, "We had to sell all of our things, and with my mother in the hospital with incurable tuberculosis and my father in debt, I was forced to fend for both me and my parents."-Haruhi nodded as if she was agreeing with Suzume- "Shortly afterwards, my mom died. Then I caught tuberculosis. But! Unlike my mother's tuberculosis, my illness is curable. After losing both his job and his wife, my dad turned to alcohol. He always got into fights. And, I've been taking care of him ever since then."
Suzume's eyes widened. "Oh no! Dad!" she exclaimed, "I left him! He might get hurt! He might--" she started having coughing fits again. "I-won't…won't stay-he's…he's in trouble…and he-needs me…I-I w-won't leave h-him! I—ack!" she spit a wad of blood out like it was phlegm.(1)
"Suzume! It's okay! Just calm down and take deep breathes!" said Haruhi, "your father's fine. You came here to learn medicine, right?"
Suzume and Tamaki gasped. "How…how did you know?" asked Suzume.
Haruhi shrugged and replied, "I don't know, women's intuition? By the way, do you know that I'm a girl? Really?"
Suzume smiled and said, "Oh Tamaki's always talking about you! Haha, he even poses for you!" Suzume's voice hid no jealousy, she was really happy for Tamaki and Haruhi.
Suzume looked down and said, "Ano sa…Haruhi? Can you help me cut my hair? I don't want to wear the girl's uniform! It's just that…dresses are really uncomfortable for me…you don't want to know…" Haruhi smiled and agreed.
"Hai! Let's go now, we have to get your –and my- uniforms. And if we're early, I'll cut your hair!" Haruhi replied, "Oh, and you don't have to call me 'Fujioka-san!' you can just call me Haruhi!"
Suzume smiled and answered with an enthusiastic "Hai!"
As the two girls left, Honey spoke up. "Tama-chan…you haven't found her?" he asked quietly. Tamaki smiled sadly.
"No, but she's left me clues. A stethoscope, a .9 lead pencil…and a cracked mirror…As soon as the school year is over," he answered, "I'm spending the summer searching for her again."
"Ah, but milord, this time is special!" insisted Hikaru.
"Yuh, we're going with you!" finished Kaoru, "Kyouya arranged it all!"
Kyouya pushed up his glasses and smiled. "Anything for a friend," He explained.
