Chapter 1
A storm was quickly approaching Japan.
That was what the weatherman had said.
One Haruhi Fujioka looked at the sky with dread. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the possibility of lightning and thunder was not too far off. It also didn't help that the clouds seem to be forming a center, as if the warning them that the wind wishes to form a hurricane.
She quickly shook her head to clear away the thoughts. Even if a hurricane did form, the school buildings were built like a fortress - or so claimed their head master during one of the drills. They could probably build a house of cards in here while a storm that has never been seen in human history was knocking on their doors.
'Damn rich people.'
Her closest friends may be rich and she may be involved romantically with one of them but their ignorance and the way they spent money without thought was still aggravating.
Even if the buildings were justifiable - I mean their parents want to make sure that their kids are safe and to parents that is worth spending a fortune on. Although making the buildings able to withstand a missile is a bit of an overkill. Especially since there is an underground bomb shelter in their school or rather under it.
She shook her head once more and went back to studying to keep her scholarship. Having the head master's son as your boyfriend doesn't mean letting them take care of the expenses of your schooling nor does it mean letting your grades slip.
The day passed by without much incident and soon it was time to head over to the host club with Kaoru and Hikaru flanking both sides.
She looked outside the glass and up to the sky. It didn't rain. The dark clouds still loomed over the sky and just stayed. It gave her a bad feeling.
The twins by her side looked outside as well and Hikaru said:
"It looks bad, doesn't it?" He smirked mischievously.
"Will you run into Tono's bed once it starts thundering or..." Kaoru trailed off, only to be joined by his twin a second later.
"Will you call him and say 'sleep with me'?"
Haruhi just stared at them although she was blushing on the inside. It may or may have not happened once before.
Just as Hikaru was about to open his mouth, a deafening roar was heard.
Everyone within a 10 mile radius of the center of the clouds that started to move - and people would've feared that it would actually form a hurricane if it weren't for the roar - heard it.
Everyone watched as the center started to open and things started falling. They were to far to see what were falling but a long silhouette that came out of the clouds - big enough to make out its features made all those watching open their mouth in disbelief.
"Is that a..." Haruhi started but was cut of by another deafening roar.
That was all it took to send people into panic.
"Dragon!"
The world of fantasy, fiction, and the unreal revealed themselves to humans once more. It rained down on them as beings no one thought to have existed screeched and roared.
The manslaughter that happened that day was no joke. The beings scattered and to every direction and left destruction in their wake. Guns seem to have little effect on them. It affected them as much as an ant bite - a minor annoyance.
Two of the beings they have started to call monsters were killed but it did nothing to even make a dent in the numbers that they came in.
The clouds have cleared and the sky was shining as if to mock the mere mortals cowering in fear. The monsters came only at night and a curfew was established a mere week after the monsters initial coming. Everything was immediately shut down because there were cases of monster sightings here and there. Nothing too major but it's better safe than sorry.
Japan is asking for help from their neighbors and allies.
It was given in the form of medicine and rations. There were some talks of soldiers from other countries being sent to Japan but they have all been rumors.
One hundred monsters came and the attacks had no pattern, sometimes in Tokyo, sometimes in Hokkaido, and sometimes some little village no one remembered or knew about until an attack happened.
It had been two weeks since the sky opened and Ouran shut it's doors. The board members decided that it was safer for them to stay than try to bring each one home. They called all the parents, and though some of them decided to send escorts for their child, most have allowed them to stay - after sending their own small team of bodyguards and paperwork to identify them.
Haruhi however was not allowed home. The Suohs did not allow the future wife to the heir out. They have received permission from Ranka, her father, and covered everything she needs.
Haruhi was worried for her father but Kyouya has assured that people have been assigned as her father's protectors. She is having a hard time trying to find something to do. Classes are still ongoing and she had homework but after she finishes it still is early. Her friends and classmates used to not having any chores to do didn't have the same problem.
She was grateful that her friends kept her busy but the atmosphere of the school was getting to her.
They talked about the monsters as if they could not reach them. Sure they showed genuine concern but they didn't get that they could be next. Despite the security they have.
Don't get her wrong they were really nice but it was like it was happening in another world.
Club activities were allowed as long as they were held indoors. And that was currently where she was heading.
The doors to the third music room was not opened to customers yet and she wanted to unwind before her guest talked about the 'poor commoners' outside with nothing to defend themselves with.
As soon as she stepped into the room the host king latched on her. Telling her that he would protect her, he had taken to the habit after the attack.
The host club soon opened and it was business as usual but She couldn't help but notice that Honey had a smile too sweet to be real and was eating cake too slowly and Mori looking outside the window every now and then. She wasn't the only one. Kyouya and the twins noticed too.
When the guests left, she walked towards them instantly.
"Is anything wrong senpai?" Haruhi asked, getting the other hosts' attention too.
Honey and Mori looked at her and then to the others. The spotlight was on them.
Honey looked at Mori and then to Haruhi.
"Takashi's sister is out there."
"You mean brother right?" Haruhi asked.
"He is also at school you know." The twins put there two cents in.
" No. I have a little sister." Mori said.
"You mean the one that was from your father's previous marriage?" Kyouya inquired.
Mori merely nodded.
The others were shocked they didn't know this little tidbit of information.
"What?! Really?! Mori senpai has a little sister?" Tamaki blurted out.
"According to his files, yes. I am curious about his mother though. I can't find any information about her not even her name." Kyouya added.
"Mother was disowned after falling for a commoner." Mori disclosed.
"Don't make her sound bad Takashi. She is really nice. Her and uncle were in an arranged marriage and they both decided to have a clean break if they found someone else they loved. Uncle was already with someone when Takashi's mother fell in love. Her family however didn't like it." Honey explained.
"Wait so that means... Satoshi is your half brother?" Haruhi clarified.
Mori nodded.
"I thought that both younger siblings were only half. I should've researched more thoroughly." Kyoya admitted.
"I would like it if you don't." Mori said with an impressive glare.
"Kyo-kun might be our friend but if you bother Go-chan..." Honey may have said it in an overly sweet tone, but the threat underlying it was not missed.
"I understand." Kyouya replied.
"So~ is she sick?" Kaoru asked.
"Mother doesn't want protection." It was all Mori said.
" She says that she was probably at the safest place..." Honey trailed off.
"That's preposterous." Kyouya exclaimed.
"Didn't you say that she married a commoner?" Hikaru asked.
"What could possibly make her think she's safe without protection?" Kaoru continued.
"We don't know." Mori answered their query. He was really confused about that as well. Wouldn't she want to keep her family safe.
"They live at a shrine... that maybe why... I'm not sure..." Honey was definitely unsure as to why she would think as such. He has been there a few days at a time and remembering the place gave him comfort. It was such a peaceful place and with Kagome there it was a little slice of heaven. He really loves her, not as a lover, she weighs so much more in his heart than any other woman. He always begged to stay longer. He wasn't the only one who begged. Takashi would always hide away the day they left. Kagome always found him though. It was like she could sense him.
He envied Takashi. He has a wonderful sister to spoil. Brothers are great and all but he really wanted a little sister to spoil.
"This cannot be! We must make sure that she accepts! The poor princess must be scared! Let us go to this shrine and comfort her!" The king exclaimed.
"Yeah! Let's go! Let's go!" The twins excitedly threw their hands into the air.
"Mother! Get permission!" Tamaki pointed at Kyouya who was already calling someone.
'They're just doing this to meet Mori senpai's sister. ' Haruhi thought. 'They really don't sense the danger. Damn rich people.'
Haruhi was really aggravated. She loved them, really she did but they aren't the only ones in trouble if the monsters attacked them. Security personnel will also get hurt.
She wanted to protest, but when she came to her senses they were already in a car.
She needed to stop thinking so much.
By the time they got there, it was getting dark. They needed to finish this quickly.
When they got to the Higurashi shrine, they were already presented a challenge.
The stairs.
It would've been fine if it were just a few steps but this was going to be a full on hike.
"Wow. Your sister must be fit." The twins echoed each other.
"This obstacle is nothing! It is for the peace of mind of our senpai!" Tamaki ran up the stairs with vigor.
"Ah! We don't really wanna do this but..." Hikaru started.
"We can't really leave him. Plus Haruhi already ran after him." Kaoru looked at his brother and they both sighed.
After the stairs of doom as the twins have dubbed them, they followed Mori and Honey towards the front door.
The door was answered by a woman who had black hair and brown eyes. She was definitely Mori's mother.
"Takashi! Honey! What brings you around with your friends?" She smiled warmly as she acknowledge the others.
"We-" Mori started but was cut off.
"Did your father send you? Honestly, if he's so worried then he shouldn't let you wander about. Come inside. Dinner's almost ready. I will set up the futons in the living room. I hope you don't mind sharing. Our home is small after all." She continued to babble.
Those who didn't know the woman looked at each other.
'Was this talkative woman really Mori senpai's mother?'
They looked alike but...
She was warm and friendly.
They had a good time talking with her and soon it was dinner time.
"Right this should be enough. Thank you for your help." Mori's mother who they have decided to call auntie said as she dropped the last of the futons on the living room floor.
Mori merely nodded.
"Although we appreciate the gesture, we cannot stay the night and will have to go after dinner." Kyouya said with his polite smile.
"It's already dark. You should stay here. It is safer." Auntie repeated.
They always came back to this point. They really did try hard to convince her but she wouldn't have any of it. That was saying something. It was always the host club that guided the flow but it seems auntie was better or used to dealing with such situations. They enjoyed their time here and wanted the woman protected.
"I really don't see how this place is safer auntie but I know better than to argue with you. We will stay the night." Honey decided for them.
"Mother. Where's Kagome and Souta?" Mori asked.
They have learned that Mori also had another half sibling called Souta.
"They should be at the Archery range. Would you want to watch them while I set up the table?" Auntie said.
"Sure." Honey replied.
The host club approached the siblings. One was shooting her arrows and hitting the mark with deadly accuracy. The other was sitting down on a bench watching.
"Kagome. Souta." Mori jumped back and at the place he standing on just a few seconds ago was an arrow.
The hosts were dumbfounded. Did they not like each other? They were under the impression that they had a great sibling relationship but maybe that was just one sided on Mori's part.
