AN: Hello! Thank you to all who reviewed, favorited, and/or followed. Things you need to know are that this story takes place a week after the events of the last episode of the anime and I own zero rights to OHSHC or its characters, I only own Mr Jones and any other future OCs that pop in for a cameo or two. That said please enjoy the chapter.
Haruhi woke up next day blissfully unaware of her father's suicide which went down not even a full hour ago. She said good bye to her father, as she thought he was home. She walked all the way to school oblivious, as always, of the sympathetic glances sent her way.
*after school in music room 3*
The host club is in full swing like always. Many of the female students were worried when Tamaki nearly left the club at the Ouran Fair last week so all of the regular guests were here to reassure themselves that Tamaki is still here as well. The twins, Hitachiin Kaoru and Hikaru, are doing their brotherly love act making the fifteen girls at their table blush, squeal, or faint. Kyoya is managing everything like always while entertaining the seven ladies sitting at his table causing them to blush every so often. Mori-senpai was watching over Honey-senpai as he ate cake with the eighteen girls around them, Haruhi is talking ideally with the twelve young women around her, and Tamaki was reassuring the twenty eight princesses surrounding him that everything is fine and that he wasn't leaving at all.
The guests staid for ten minutes longer before the club time ended. Finally able to cut loose a bit, the twins dropped their act and flopped onto a sofa in the middle of the room, where all the host could sit together for making plans. The others gathered around that particular sitting area as well glad for another successful day of hosting. "If this keeps up we'll end up with twenty percent more profits than we had last week. Good work everyone," Kyoya said while closing his laptop. Everyone cheered at the prospect of having more funding as it helped keep the host club open.
This joy quickly subsided when the door creaked open to reveal Mr Jones. Everyone has a shocked look on their face, with the exception of Kyoya, at the arrival of the man who stood calmly. Kyoya, who is back in host mode before the others even blinked, says, "Good afternoon and welcome, sir, to the Ouran Highschool Host Club. Is there anything we can help you with?" Mr Jones nods as the others get over their shock.
"Well then what do, you need help with?" the twins inquired finishing each other's sentence.
"I come baring a message for mister, or should I say Misses, Fujioka Haruhi in concerns with her father," replies Mr. Jones. All heads turned when he said that.
"What's wrong with my dad? Did he get hurt?" Haruhi inquirers. The other hosts moved a good bit away but not far enough that they could not hear what is being said.
Mr Jones decided to go straight to the point telling her that her father committed suicide but not before having her listed as an emancipated minor giving her the right to do most of what normal adults do. After that he left, leaving a depressed Haruhi in his wake.
