A/N I apologize for the confusion at the end of chapter 5. The blonde that kept Haruhi from falling was a girl. My bad. *sweatdrop*

Chapter 6

Haruhi blinked owlishly at the girl. She sighed and rubbed her forehead to stave off a headache that was threatening to start. "Mira-chan, do you remember a girl that disappeared from Ouran Primary after her family died in an accident?"

Mira nodded, then gasped. "Haruka-chan?!" The blonde's eyes went wide in shock.

The other girl turned to Haruhi sharply, "What do you mean Haruka-chan? She vanished. Didn't even tell us goodbye. She promised that she would be there for my birthday, but I never saw her again!"

Haruhi winced. "I had to disappear, Simona-chan. They were trying to kill me too." She glared at the redheaded Simona. "I gave you your present the day before I left. You said you would take care of Reiko and you didn't! You don't even look at her anymore. What happened?"

Simona huffed, "I have always looked after Reiko, even if she didn't know it. Why do you think no one picks on her even though she's in the Black Magic Club?"

Haruhi shook her head and crossed her arms. "It's not the same, Simona. Reiko is a part of this. She needs more than a silent protector. She needs someone beside her. The people that were after me...they knew that I was at Reiko's the night they killed my family."

Haruhi jumped as the door opened behind her and swung into a kick.

"Whoa! Haru-chan!" Honey's voice came from beneath the crossed arms that caught Haruhi's leg.

Haruhi pulled her leg back and looked at the diminutive senior. "Sorry about that, Mitsu. I wasn't keen on eavesdroppers."

Honey grinned as he rubbed his arms. "At least our lessons are paying off. That was a lot of power."

Haruhi rolled her eyes, "I would have knocked Chika back a pace, but you just stood there like I was a butterfly landing on your face."

Honey smiled and rocked back and forth on his heels.

"Why were you following me, Mitsu?"

Honey shrugged as he accessed the two others in the room. "Simona Takamura and Mira Shinomoto. You guys used to designate me before Haru-chan came to the club!" His eyes flashed, "What do you want with Haruhi?"

Simona shifted slightly and eyes the small senior, while Mira smirked. "We don't have to tell you anything, Sempai. Haruk-Haruhi is our friend." Simona stumbled over Haruhi's name.

"Ah," Honey said and winked at the girls. "Haruhi, are they supposed to know?"

Haruhi pinched the bridge of her nose and exhaled noisily. "Not as such, but since they caught me after one of Kaoru's friends decided I needed to learn to fly down the stairs, it was inevitable."

Honey's face darkened as he growled out, "Name and class."

Simona piped up, "Hiro Tsukuomi 1-C."

"Thank you," Honey turned to walk out of the classroom. "You may accompany Haruhi while I settle things."

Mira and Simona blinked owlishly as Honey stalked into the hallway and turned towards the First Year Building.

Haruhi jumped when Mori stepped into the room. "Takashi?"

Mori shrugged and leaned against the wall, "Mitsukuni said stay."

"Alright then." The three girls sat down and started to discuss battle plans against the Hitachiin twins.

Mori kept vigil over them while they plotted.

Haruhi stretched and grimaced when her back popped loudly. "Enough plotting for today. Let's head out."

Mori glanced at the girls and held open the door for them.

Mira nodded shyly at the Senior before bolting out the door with Simona on her heels.

Haruhi shook her head and sighed heavily before leaning over into Mori's eyesight. "Are you ready, Takashi?"

Mori shrugged and picked Haruhi up, setting her on his shoulders the same way Honey usually sat.

"Did Mitsu get our classes sorted? We missed all of the afternoon classes and as a scholarship student, I really can't afford to miss days."

"He did," Mori's voice drifted up to her.

Haruhi folded her arms on top of Mori's head and laid her head on top of them. "This is only going to get more complicated, isn't it?"

"Ah," came Mori's response.

Haruhi sighed. "Oh, well."
