DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Haruhi was in such a daze over the idea of going on a date let alone one with her old boyfriend that she almost didn't stop at the laser arena. When she did finally come to a stop, she could see her son already see her son there waiting for her.
"Hi honey," she said opening her car door.
"Hey Mom," said Naoki as he got into the car.
"So what was your father excuse this time?" asked Haruhi.
"I don't know exactly," said Naoki, "I was having some fun for a little while but apparently after the sixth or seventh time I didn't get the most shots Dad said I was ruining everything so he said it was best if I were to just go home." Haruhi sighed as she gripped her steering wheel.
"I'm sorry honey," she said, "I don't care what he says. I think that from now on I'm not going to let him take you for the whole weekend. It never works out."
"Well okay if you think it's for the best," said Naoki, "It'll be nice not to have a disappointing weekend from now on." Haruhi looked over at her son to see he was staring out the window appearing disappointed.
"Well you want to hear something interesting for next weekend?" she asked.
"What?" asked Naoki sounding board.
"I have a date," said Haruhi. Naoki immediately looked over at his mother.
"You have a date?" he asked in shock.
"Yeah," said Haruhi smiling at the idea.
"With who?" asked Naoki.
"You remember that man we bumped into last week?" asked Haruhi.
"You mean that dumb blond guy?" asked Naoki.
"I wish you wouldn't refer to him like that," said Haruhi, "But yes, well he asked me out."
"Really, and you said yes?" asked Naoki.
"Yeah," said Haruhi, "Believe it or not he and I use to date when we were in younger, towards the end of high school and through collage."
"So what happened?" asked Naoki.
"We uh broke up when I was still in the middle of law school," said Haruhi sheepishly.
"Why?" asked Naoki.
"Well it's kind of complicated, but I guess it had to do with me," said Haruhi, "But never mind about it now. The point is we're going to go out on this date next Friday and while we're out on it he says you can stay at his place with his girls."
"Why would I want to do that?" asked Naoki.
"Because he has someone who can help watch the four of you," said Haruhi.
"He knows a sitter or something?" asked Naoki.
"No well um, you know how a lot of my friends are like super rich?" said Haruhi, "Well he also falls into the category."
"Oh I see," said Naoki, "I'm surprised you never snagged yourself a rich husband while you were going to the rich people's school."
"Well that was because I wasn't there to snag a rich husband. I was there to learn," said Haruhi, "The only reason I'd ever want to go out with someone was because I liked him for him not for his money."
"Hmm," said Naoki smirking.
"Well let's go ahead and get some sleep," said Haruhi when the two of them got home, "Tomorrow I'll take you out to buy you a new game or something."
"Okay," said Naoki walking to his room, "Hey Mom come in here!"
"What, what's wrong?" asked Haruhi running into her son's room. On his bed were a brand new Xbox and Wii. On top of each were a note, one said 'From Hikaru,' and the other said, 'From Kaoru.'
'I am so going to murder those too!' thought Haruhi.
"Woo-Hoo!" said Naoki looking his new gaming systems with joy.
"Hold it!" said Haruhi, "You can have these but you still have to get your grades up and show responsibility around the house more. You don't and I may just have to take them away for a while got it?"
"Yeah sure Mom," said Naoki.
"I have a date with Haruhi," Tamaki get saying over and over again, "I have a date with Haruhi. I have a date with Haruhi. I actually have a date with Haruhi!"
He practically skipped to his front door when he heard a rumbling. He turned around to see a motorcycle heading straight to the front steps and coming to a stop with two passengers on it. The one on the back climbed off and took off her helmet.
"Thanks Oda," said Fusayo.
"No problem Babe," said Oda as he took off his helmet too and pulled her close kissing her hard on her lips.
"Hey Hey, None of that!" shouted Tamaki pulling Fusayo away from the boy, "Go home Mr. Hanshou right now!"
"Fine whatever old man," said Oda taking off.
"I thought I told you not to go out tonight!" said Tamaki as he pulled his daughter into the house.
"No you said that you would be home by 11 and then check to see if I'm in bed at the time. It's only 10:59 pm," said Fusayo.
"Don't get smart with me!" said Tamaki.
"Oh come on Dad," said Fusayo, "It's not my fault you don't date."
"That's not true!" said Tamaki.
"Oh so you're finally admitting that you're dating Aunt Aoko?" asked Fusayo.
"No it's not that," said Tamaki, "I have a date with someone else next Friday," said Tamaki.
"You do, really?" asked Fusayo totally shocked.
"Yes," said Tamaki.
"What's with all the shouting?" asked Sonomi walking out of her room.
"It's so loud," said Mitsuko also walking out of her room.
"Oh sorry girls," said Tamaki, "I was just telling your sister I have date next weekend."
"Aunt Aoki tricked you again huh?" said Sonomi.
"No, no it's nothing like that. It's actually a date with someone else," said Tamaki.
"Oh who's the dumb girl?" asked Sonomi.
"She's not dumb!" said Tamaki, "You remember that nice young lady we bumped into last week in the commoner's neighborhood?"
"Her?" said the girls.
"Yes her, Haruhi Fujioka," said Tamaki, "I have a date with her next Friday."
"Why would she want to do that?" asked Fusayo.
"Well we did use to go out for while in high school and in collage. Then we sort of broke up when she got into law school," said Tamaki.
"Why what happened?" asked Fusayo.
"Well it was kind of a complicated thing," said Tamaki, "But we're not going to dwell on that now. Next week I'll be taking her out and her son will be coming over where while we're on our date. I expect you to treat him fairly understood?"
"Why does he have to come over here?" asked Sonomi.
"So his mother doesn't have to scramble to find a sitter," said Tamaki.
"Why not just have her staff watch him?" asked Fusayo.
"Well they're commoners," said Tamaki.
"Ugh, Dad are you really going out with a commoner?" asked Fusayo, "That sounds unsanitary!"
"Don't you dare refer to her like that young lady! She's a wonderful woman! Now get to bed everyone! It's late!" Tamaki ordered.
"Daddy will you sing me a song?" Mitsuko asked stretching to her father.
"Of course my little princess," said Tamaki picking her up and carrying her to her room.
"Do you think Aunt Aoko's going to flip when she hears Dad's got a date with someone other then her?" asked Sonomi.
"Oh probably," said Fusayo.
"It's funny watching her lose her temper," said Sonomi as the two sisters headed to their rooms.
"Hey Mom guess what?!" said Naoki happily from the living room the next morning.
"What?" asked Haruhi walking into the living room where she saw her son already had the Xbox set up.
"Hikaru and Kaoru also got me some games to go with the gaming systems!" said Naoki.
"That's great dear," said Haruhi.
'I'm still going to kill them!' she thought.
"Knock-knock," they both heard a voice say as Ranka walked into the apartment.
"Oh hi Dad, good morning," said Haruhi, "Can I offer you a cup of coffee?"
"Sure," said Ranka, "And how is my wonderful grandson?"
"Great Grandpa, look what I got!" said Naoki nodding to both the Xbox and Wii.
"Oh wow where did you get that?" asked Ranka.
"Where do you think? From the twins," said Haruhi walking into the room with a mug for her dad.
"Oh those two," said Ranka.
"Oh guess what Grandpa? Mom has a date!" said Naoki.
"Naoki!" said Haruhi through clenched teeth and making the kill signal across her throat.
"Oh really?" said Ranka excited, "It's about time you found yourself a decent man Haruhi! Who's the lucky guy?"
"Some guy named Tamaki," said Naoki.
CRASH
Naoki looked down confused at the broken mug at his grandfather's feet.
"Haruhi," said Ranka trying to remain calm, "Please tell me Naoki's talking about a different Tamaki then one I'm thinking of." Haruhi groaned mad.
"Sorry to disappoint you Dad but no. It's with Tamaki Suoh," said Haruhi.
"Haruhi, why would you want to do this exactly?" asked Ranka, "You already made the right choice 15 years ago when you dumped him remember?"
"I didn't really dump him Dad. I just told you I dumped him to make you happy," said Haruhi walking down the hallway to find a broom to sweep up the broken mug.
"Haruhi why are you going out with the same man that more or less broke your heart though?" Ranka asked walking after her.
"I didn't really help matters Dad," said Haruhi.
"Well what happened exactly?" asked Ranka, "You were always so vague on the details." Haruhi sighed.
"Tamaki asked me to marry him," she said.
"He did?" said Ranka almost falling over, "You never told me that."
"Well I thought it didn't matter after what happened," said Haruhi.
"What, what happened?" asked Ranka.
"I um ran away from him after he proposed. I literally ran away from him out of fear over the notion of getting married. Not just to Tamaki in general although I do suppose his grandmother help fuel the fear. A few days before Tamaki popped the question, she visited me and you know she never really liked me. Well anyway she sort of scolded me over the notion of wanting to be with Tamaki when there was no way I would really fit in with him and their world and it really got to me. Plus I wasn't really up to the idea of getting married just yet since I had just started law school. I was a little worried Tamaki was going to ask already and I didn't know how to really turn him down without hurting him. So when he asked me, I, I panicked and ran away from him," said Haruhi.
"Oh my so that's what happened?" asked Ranka, "Well then why did he go and asked that woman to marry him right after?"
"That I never got either," said Haruhi, "I remember waking up the morning after running away from him and finding out he was already engaged to this girl. I didn't even know who she was. I had never seen her before in my life."
"You see, that's why you shouldn't be doing this!" said Ranka, "He broke your heart so easily!"
"Dad, didn't you just hear what I said? I ran away remember? I probably broke his heart too," said Haruhi, "And besides if he's willingly to forgive me for that and me a second chance the least I can do is forgive him."
She didn't realize her son had heard the whole thing.
'Hmm,' he thought.
"I have a date with Haruhi. I have a date with Haruhi," Tamaki sang in his bathroom as he got ready for the day. He still couldn't believe how happy he was over the notion. Oh how he had missed his old girlfriend. "I have a date I have a date I have date!"
"Oh we're going on a date?"
Tamaki jumped in fear when he saw his sister-in-law standing next to him.
"Aoko, what are you doing in here?" he asked in fear.
"I heard we had a date," said Aoko.
"No we're not!" said Tamaki.
"But Sonomi told me you had a date this Friday," said Aoko.
"Sonomi said that?" said Tamaki. He looked over to his bathroom door and heard snickering, "Hmm!"
"What are you doing?" Fusayo asked when she saw her sister was standing in their father's door near the bathroom door.
"Aunt Aoko's about to find out Dad's going out with someone other then her!" said Sonomi smirking.
"Oh boy this ought to be good," said Fusayo walking next to her sister right as they heard their aunt shout, "WHAT?!"
"How can you go on a date with some commoner bitch?!" snapped Aoko.
"She's not a bitch!" said Tamaki, "She's a wonderful woman!"
"I thought she dumped you after she was done with you," said Aoko.
"That's not what happened!" said Tamaki, "I, I don't know what really happened. All I know is I tried to ask her to marry me and I can only assume I came on too strong that I startled her and scared her away. And then to make matters worse when I came home my grandmother was waiting for me and when she heard of my failed attempt of engagement she somehow convinced me that I should just forget about Haruhi and marry the woman she wanted me to marry, your sister. So in reality I came on too strong and broke her heart after I moved on so fast."
"That sounds kind of pathetic," said Aoko.
"Yeah," said Fusayo.
"Look can you just get out," said Tamaki.
"Fine, fine, just call me after the stupid commoner bitch breaks your heart again," said Aoko walking out.
"She's not a bitch and it's going to work out this time you'll see!" said Tamaki before slamming the door shut after her, "It's going to work out this time! I just know it!"
"What do you think?" asked Sonomi.
"I don't know," said Fusayo, "I think if Dad's too busy trying to make things work with this woman he won't notice if I were to slip out more with Oda."
"Sure whatever," said Sonomi, "The only thing I can see is another woman who'll ignore me.'
"What did you say?" asked Fusayo.
"Never mind," said Sonomi.
