Chapter 2: Akahana returns

Disclaimer: Ouran host club belongs to Bisco Hatori. Akahana is mine. As I stated before, I cannot take full credit for this fanfic as my friend is also helping me write it.

Sorry it took so long to get up. I've been lazy. Hope you guys enjoy.

It had been two weeks since the host club had met the new transfer first year student, Akahana Siaoki. Since that day, the hosts had not seen nor heard of her. Even the twins and Haruhi who supposedly had class with her,had not seen her. Also, ever since Akahana had told them about what her father had said to her about her looks, they had become very worried.

"Boss, she isn't here today either." said Hikaru. As usual, the hosts were busy entertaining their guests and todays theme was Ancient Rome (Meaning they all wore toga's).

"Hmm...well I hope shes alright-" the sound of a door opening echoed in the room. The hosts looked towards the doorway and their eyes lite up.

"Akahana!" the twins shouted happily, running over towards her.

"Aka-chan! Look Takashi, she's back! She's back!" Hunny jumped up and down, excitedly. Mori nodded in agreement and smiled.

"Well, well. Welcome back my princess." Tamaki approached Akahana with a loving smile and stroked her cheek.

Akahana looked up so that Tamaki could see her face. The king instantly backed away in horror. She looked...different than before. Perhaps "different" isn't the right word. Rather she looked...like she'd been through hell. Cuts and bruises covered her face and arms and she had a very swollen black eye.

"Woe..." muttered the twins. The guests and the rest of the host club gasped and covered their mouths. Thinking back on it, Akahana HAD been gone for two whole weeks...had she been in a car reck in that time? Fallen down stairs? Whatever had happened, it was obviously bad.

"...Aka-chan, what happened to you?" Hunny jumped off Mori's shoulder and stood in front of Akahana, looking up at her.

"Oh...um, i-it's nothing. I...I fell down the stairs." Akahana rubbed her arm, sheepishly.

"...How the hell did you fall and get that BADLY hurt?" Hikaru asked looking at Akahana with suspicion.

Akahana's eyes grew wide, 'Oh no...!' she thought.

"Well...um, you see...Oh! Thats m-my ride!" Akahana quickly looked out the window and ran out the door.

The host club said nothing as they watched her hurry out of the room.

"I didn't see anyone or a car outside, did you guys?" Tamaki asked looking at his friends with fear.

The hosts shook their heads. Mori stared at the door way Akahana had just ran out of with narrowed eyes. Hunny looked at Mori and then looked at the door as well. The look on his face turned to pity.

"Takashi, our ride should be here soon too. Lets get going." Hunny informed his cousin.

Mori silently nodded and walked out the door with Hunny. Ten minutes later, the two had made their way to a hallway window. Mori had continued to walk down the hall when he felt Hunny grab his jacket and pull him over in front of the window.

"Takashi...look, down in the court yard." Hunny pointed at the window. Down in the school yard was Akahana and a tall man standing in front of a car. The man was yelling and Akahana had her head held down.

Mori and Hunny swallowed big as they watched. Both of them suddenly had a bad feeling. The window wasn't thick so they could slightly hear what the man was screaming,

"You stupid pain in the ass! I told you to be out here at 3 o'clock! It's 4:30! Dammit, I'm late for a meeting now because of you!"

"I-I'm sorry, Father..."Hunny and Mori's eyes widened when they heard Akahana say "father"

"No your not! G**Dammit you little-" the man moved closer to Akahana and raised a hand and Hunny gasped. In a matter of seconds, Akahana fell to the ground after the man struck her hard in the face.

"T-Takashi! He...that man, he just slapped Aka-chan! Takashi!" Hunny cried with tears streaming down his face. He held Usu-chan to his chest, tightly.

Mori swalloed big, "There's nothing we can do about it, Mitsuki." He said, painfully turning a blind eye.

-With Akahana and her father who are now driving home-

"Don't you EVER be late again, you hear me? If you are, you know the consequences." her father snarled from behind the steering wheel.

Akahana's eyes were full of pain and misery. She rubbed her bruised arms and had one of her hands on the cheek her father had slapped, "Yes...father."

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the day.
