DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

Both Tamaki and Haruhi continue to stare at each other a bit speechless. Their four children, including Fusayo looked back and forth between the two of them completely confused.

"So, Tamaki," said Haruhi finally, "It's been a while hasn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah it has," said Tamaki, "You're looking well."

"Yeah you too," said Haruhi. She noticed the two girls with Tamaki plus the one that was still on top of her son, "So are I take it these are your girls?"

"Oh yeah, these are my girls Fusayo, Mitsuko and, and Sonomi get off of that boy!" said Tamaki.

"Yes please," said Naoki.

"Sorry," said Sonomi.

"Are you okay Naoki?" asked Haruhi helping her son up.

"Yeah," said Naoki, "No thanks to her."

"So Haruhi is this your son?" asked Tamaki.

"Oh yeah this is Naoki," said Haruhi, "Naoki this is an old friend of mine Tamaki Suoh."

"He doesn't look like any of your old friends," said Naoki.

"Well it's been a while since we've talked," said Haruhi.

"Yeah almost 15, 16 years huh?" said Tamaki, "How have you been?"

"I've been doing good," said Haruhi, "How about you?"

"I've been doing good too," said Tamaki, "So did you ever go through with that divorce like I heard you were doing?"

"Yeah I um I've been officially divorced for about a year now," said Haruhi, "What about you? How have you been doing since your wife died?"

"I've been doing okay," said Tamaki.

"Yeah anyway can we go?" asked Fusayo, "I don't want to keep Oda waiting."

"Wait where are you going?" asked Tamaki.

"I don't know but I need to go see him. He hates it when I've been gone for too long," said Fusayo.

"Who's Oda?" asked Haruhi.

"A boy Fusayo thinks is her boyfriend but he's not!" said Tamaki.

"Yeah he is and I have to go meet him like now!" said Fusayo getting impatient. She started walking off.

"Oh no you're not!" said Tamaki as he started to hurry after his daughter. He made sure to grab on to Sonomi by her elbow to pull her along. He stopped and looked back at Haruhi, "It was nice seeing you again Haruhi. It's also good to hear you're doing so well."

"Yeah you too," said Haruhi as she watched Tamaki walk off with his girls.

"How come he didn't ask if his daughter was okay?" asked Naoki.

"I guess he got distracted with the idea of his other daughter going off with that boyfriend he doesn't like," said Haruhi.

"I wonder why he doesn't like him," said Naoki.

"He's a father, and fathers need very little an excuse to not approve of a daughter's boyfriend. And that goes double for him," said Haruhi.

"Is he really an old friend of yours?" asked Naoki as he and Haruhi kept walking.

"Yeah, I knew him in high school with the others. He's in some of the old pictures I have of high school with them," Haruhi reminded him.

"You mean the tall dumb looking one?" asked Naoki.

"Yes," muttered Haruhi, "Although I wouldn't call him dumb looking."

"Isn't he mostly next to you in those photos?" asked Naoki.

"Yes he always insisted I stand next to him," said Haruhi, "Especially after…," She stopped for a moment.

"After what?" asked Naoki.

"Nothing," said Haruhi, "Let's get to the grocery store."

"Okay," said Naoki.


"So who was that exactly Dad?" asked Sonomi asked as she did her best to keep up with her dad who was doing his best to not only hold onto Mitsuko and try to keep up with Fusayo.

"Huh, oh you mean Haruhi?" asked Tamaki, "She was an old friend of mine. I uh met her in high school."

"Wait is she that one girl who looked like she was a boy in those old host club pictures you have?" asked Sonomi.

"Yeah that's her," said Tamaki.

"You are often really close to her in those pictures aren't you Dad?" said Haruhi.

"Well she was really special to me," said Tamaki.

"What happen between the two of you?" asked Sonomi.

"Well uh," said Tamaki. He looked up and saw that Fusayo had somehow managed to get to the other side of the street, "Hang on I got to catch up with your sister!"

"Fine, whatever," said Sonomi.


By the time Tamaki got his daughters back to their house his sister-in-law was gone.

'Thank god!' Tamaki thought to himself.

"Okay Mitsuko time for your nap," he said taking her upstairs. Mitsuko was already starting to nod off in her father's arms as he carried her off. The minute the two were out of sight Fusayo headed back to the door.

"Where are you going?" asked Sonomi.

"Out, Oda's here," said Fusayo.

"What, after all that trouble Dad did while we were out to keep you from going out?" asked Sonomi.

"Yeah well he shouldn't have bothered. I'm out of here," said Fusayo.

"Whatever," said Sonomi. She felt tempted to call out after his father about it but felt like it wouldn't do any good. And she didn't even care really.

She was about to skip off when she happen to hear the door open.

"Sonomi," said Kyoya walking into the house. He as accompanied by his daughter Cho who was Sonomi's age, "Was that Fusayo on the motorcycle riding off just now?"

"Probably," said Sonomi, "If you're looking for Dad he's upstairs putting Mitsuko down for her nap."

"I see I'll just go wait for him in his library," said Kyoya.

"Okay," said Sonomi, "Hey Uncle Kyo, what all do you know about a woman named Haruhi?"

"Haruhi?" said Kyoya, "She was an old friend of ours. Although she and your father aren't exactly close anymore. Why do you ask?"

"We ran into her today when Dad took us out on one of his famous commoner explorations," said Sonomi.

"I see," said Kyoya, "Interesting."

"And you know what sounds really weird?" asked Sonomi, "It looked like Dad was interested in her."

"Really?" said Kyoya, "Yes that is even more interesting. Well, why don't you and Cho go off and play now or something."

"So Sonomi how's that latest invention going?" asked Cho as the two of them walked off.

"Trashed like all of the others," said Sonomi. They soon came to Mitsuko's room.

"Hey Dad, Kyoya's here to see you. He's waiting in the library," she said poking her head in.

"Oh okay I'll be right there," said Tamaki. Before long he was downstairs in the library.

"Hi Kyoya," he said.

"Hello Tamaki," said Kyoya, "I'm here because I was able to help find some animals for your animal kingdom you're thinking of building. You are still thinking of doing that aren't you?"

"Oh yes," said Tamaki, "But I'm still stuck on the designs."

"I see, well I'll just leave these forms for you for when you are able to get it sketched out," said Kyoya.

"Thank you Kyoya!" said Tamaki.

"No problem," said Kyoya, "So I heard you into Haruhi today." Tamaki sat up straight in shock.

"Uh yes I uh did," he said sheepishly.

"Hmm that's nice," said Kyoya, "It's been what 15 years since you've last really talked?"

"Yeah something like that," said Tamaki getting nervous.

"You know she's now officially divorced," said Kyoya.

"Yes she told me. She's been divorced for a year now," said Tamaki, "I also got to meet her son Naoki. He looks a lot like her."

"Yes I know," said Kyoya.

"You've seen him before?" asked Tamaki.

"Tamaki, just because you cut her out of your life doesn't mean the rest of us did. How else do you think I knew she got a divorce?" asked Kyoya.

"Right," said Tamaki, "Um speaking of the others, did you want to do something next Friday like we usually do every third Friday?"

"Yes I can arrange that," said Kyoya, "In the mean time I should be going. I only stopped by to drop off those forms. I'll just get my daughter and go."

"Oh she can stay for a while if she wants. It would be nice for Sonomi to have someone to play with. You know I know this pretty sad and pathetic but sometimes I feel like I just ignore her because I'm too distracted by other two girls," said Tamaki, "between Mitsuko needing attention and Fusayo getting so rebellious…,"

"Like dating someone who rides motorcycles?" asked Kyoya.

"Yeah like that," said Tamaki, "Wait, how did you know that?"

"I saw her drive off on one when I arrived with a boy," said Kyoya.

"What, no not again!" said Tamaki.

"Sorry Tamaki," said Kyoya, "Who was it anyway?"

"Oda Hanshou!" said Tamaki.

"Isn't he that politician's son that got held back a year?" asked Kyoya.

"Yes!" said Tamaki," I have to try to find my daughter again!"

"If you need help let me know," said Kyoya. "I'll go see if Cho would like to stay for a while before I leave." He stood up, making sure to leave the forms he brought over before heading out to find his daughter to see what she wanted to do. He found her in Sonomi's room going over something at Sonomi's sketched desk.

"Having fun girls?" he asked.

"Yeah sort of," said Sonomi.

"Working on another invention?" asked Kyoya.

"Well we're just trying to think of something that someone people could use to make their lives easier," said Cho.

"I see, did you want to stick around and help some more or do you want to come with me now?" asked Kyoya.

"I'll stay here for a little while longer if that's alright Father," said Cho.

"That's fine, you know who to call when you're ready to come home," said Kyoya walking out of the room. He was glad that his daughter was staying to keep Sonomi company. From what he's seen even before Tamaki became a widower Sonomi had sadly often been neglected by her parents. He knew that was normal for middle children unfortunately. He also understood what it was like to be overlooked by the parents in favor of the siblings and how one special friend can make it all seem worthwhile.

As he headed back towards the front door, he happened to notice a picture of him and his friends from high school. In it Tamaki had his arms draped over Haruhi in a loving matter. It got him to thinking. He knew the two still had deep feeling for each other and were now both single.

Calmly he pulled out his phone and dallied.

"Hello you two," he said, "I know this a pretty stupid question but are you two up to a little bit mischief making perchance?"
