A/N: So here is the next chapter. I am sorry it took me a little to update hit a writer's block. Big thanks to mcangel1976 for helping me out and to all of those who read and reviewd! I don't own Ouran and never will . On with the story though.
Satoshi was walking home when he saw his brother pulling up to the front of the house. He didn't want it to seem that there was anything wrong with him, so Satoshi walked at a normal pace and caught up with his brother halfway to the door.
"Where were you?" Mori suddenly asked making his brother jump a little.
"Needed to clear my head so went for a walk to the park," Satoshi said. He knew he wasn't lying. He had gone to the park and walked a little, he had just also talked with Mitsukuni. "How was your day Taka?"
"It was well. I had to entertain the ladies at Club though. Mitsukuni got an unexpected call and had to go take care of some family matters. It was a little difficult trying to entertain by myself, but the ladies seemed to enjoy it," Mori said. Something seemed off about Satoshi and it worried Mori. He quickly used his peripherals to see if there was any blood stains on his little brother's shirt. He didn't see any and his mind relaxed a little.
"Hm I wonder what he had to take care of. I hope everything is alright," Satoshi said trying to hide his fear that his brother would find out what had happened. He didn't want anyone else to know just yet, because he had found that no one else could understand the way his older cousin did.
"I hope everything is alright too. Shall we go practice in the dojo a bit before dinner?" Mori asked his little brother. He knew that the best way to get Satoshi to stop thinking about something was to get him to do something else.
"No thanks I have a lot of homework and I just took a long walk in the park, so not feeling et it nowup to moving around. Would you mind helping me with some history though?" Satoshi asked. He had already walked and ran and was emotionally drained. He hoped that his brother bought it, and to his relief he did.
"Sure, no problem," Mori said looking at his little brother. He was seriously worried now. Satoshi didn't get tired after walking. He knew that pushing the subject though was not going to help anyone especially his brother. They went inside and got to work on the history homework. Mori enjoyed helping his little brother and they seemed to have a good time doing so. They chatted for a little bit while finishing their other assignments. Occasionally Satoshi would ask Mori for help on a problem or ask him how high school was and if he would like it.
"Little brother the desks are the same in high school. You sit at them and take notes as you do any other desk," Mori answered calmly, but inwardly sighing. Mori thought Satoshi might turn into another Kyouya if he kept asking so many questions and taking in so much intel. Just then Mori looked up to see his brother pinching the bridge of his nose.
Satoshi took a deep breath. And then exhaled trying to relax while he was being scrutinized by his brother's eyes. He was worried about tomorrow, he was worried about how his brother would react if he found out where Mitsukuni had been, and he was scared. Just scared.
"Hn?" Mori questioned looking at his little brother.
"Tomorrow, I am just nervous for it. I don't know if I can do it," Satoshi said. He was referring to the first therapy session they were going to have as a family.
"We are all going to be right there for you," Mori said not knowing that this was only going to make things worse.
"See that is just it though. You are all going to be there and you are all going to see how messed up I am. Then mom and dad will disown me and you won't think twice about talking to me again. And everyone will just see that I'm not meant to be here and I shouldn't be accepted in this family," Satoshi said as he felt some tears roll down his face. He quickly swiped them away and simultaneously felt strong arms wrap around him. He relaxed into the arms of his big brother. He felt sleepy and he didn't fight it. Soon Satoshi was slipping into a peaceful sleep in his brother's arms.
Mori felt his little brother relax and soon heard the soft breaths of Satoshi. Mori looked down to see that Satoshi was sleeping. He carefully stood up with his brother in his hands and walked across the hall to the bedroom. Once there Mori placed his brother on the bed and being very careful not to wake Satoshi, got the button down shirt off his brother. He then lifted the covers and put Satoshi under them. Mori tucked them around his baby brother and before he left gave Satoshi's hair a soft ruffle. Satoshi stirred a bit and rolled over, but was defiantly asleep. As Mori walked out of the room he looked back and smiled at his baby brother sleeping peacefully. Satoshi smiled a little obviously having a better dream than what had just happened or what had been happening lately. Mori knew that tomorrow would be tough, but he knew that they would get through it as a family, they had to. He couldn't bear the thought of going through every day without seeing his brother's smile.
Mori walked back to his room and sat down on his bed. He put his head in his hands and just let his thoughts come to him. He was worried. More than worried he was scared out of his mind. 'What if I haven't done enough? What if in the end my love wasn't enough for Satoshi? What if something happens and we lose him?' Mori thought sitting on his bed. 'What if I don't get to see that smile anymore? My heart would break. My world would change, and I would always wonder if there would have been something I could have done. He has to fight. I just hope he knows that I know he can and I have his back the whole way through this, wherever that may lead,' Mori drifted off to sleep at this last thought.
Hunny sat at his desk trying to work on the assignment he had due the next day. Even he couldn't concentrate on math though, despite it being his favorite subject. He was thinking about what had happened at the park that day. He wanted to go into the adjacent room and pummel his little brother to a pulp. Chika was an idiot for not knowing that he was hurting his best friend, and he was even more of an idiot for dating that bitch of a girl. Hunny wondered though if that had been enough to drive Satoshi to hurt himself. 'What happened to him. I had noticed a change in him lately, but I thought it was just teenage stuff. I wonder how all of this got started? Even if that is the reason I can't fathom why Satoshi would do that to himself. He seemed too happy to do something like that. Then again I did try to be strong to please my father and it seemed to work for most people around me,' Hunny thought leaning back in his chair. He clasped his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling. 'Hang in there Satoshi. For just a little longer. Chika will come to his senses soon, in some way. So, please, Satoshi just be strong. My brother may be an idiot and not know what he is doing, but he isn't a cruel person. Forgive him for his for what he has done. Don't do anything , Satoshi, because none of us could bear to lose you. In the end it will be alright, I promise,' Hunny thought a tear sliding down his cheek.
(the next day)
Satoshi woke up the next morning in his bed. He sat up confused as to why he was in his bed and why he didn't have a shirt on. He rubbed his neck and tried to remember how he had gotten into bed. He thought back over the events of the previous night. There was Mitsukuni, and then he had come home, and then there was Taka hugging him, and then…he figured he must have fallen asleep and then Taka put him to bed. HE smiled to himself being thankful that he had such a great older brother. He hopped out of bed and ran to the shower to get ready for the day. He was nervous as hell for what would come after school, but he was going to be brave and try to do his best not to be nervous. He got dressed and dashed down the hallway after looking at his watch realizing that he was going to be late. He rushed past the kitchen grabbing some toast and a mug of tea and was out the door. He managed to catch up with his older brother halfway down the walkway.
"Morning," Mori said as he felt his little brother run up beside him. He looked over and laughed inwardly at the sight of Satoshi.
"Morning, Taka," Satoshi said taking the piece of toast out of his mouth. The brothers got into the car and relaxed as it pulled out of the driveway. Mori looked at his little brother and noticed that he looked frazzled.
"Satoshi?" he asked and his little brother turned his gaze on him.
"I'm fine Taka. Just worried about this afternoon, but I'll get through it somehow. Can I ask a favor though?" Satoshi said resting his head in his hand.
"Yeah anything."
"When we go today can I sit more near you. I just don't know how mom and dad will react and I would just feel safer."
"You got it, Satoshi," Mori said giving his little brother a rare smile.
As usual they walked through the front gates together and then split off to the separate buildings. Satoshi went into class and took a deep breath before taking his seat in between Hana and Chika. He sat down and got out his things. Soon enough the note passing began. It was bad today. Whatever the two love birds had to talk about it was important. Important enough that for the good portion of class Satoshi was handing pink notebook paper back and forth between the two. By the time lunch rolled around Satoshi wished that he was at therapy. At least there even if he did have to talk about his problems he didn't have to deal with the actual people that were causing the problems. He sat there and ate by himself. He just mulled over his thoughts wondering what the afternoon would bring. Just then the bell rang and he got out his notebook for math. Hana and Chika reentered and sat down. Soon the note passing started again and Satoshi wished he could just run out and read one of these to see what was more damn important than school. After passing what seemed like a whole notebook worth of paper and hearing enough giggles from Hana that he could deduce what a girl's slumber was like, the bell rang. Satoshi bolted for the door and made it out before Chika or Hana could catch up with him. He met Taka in the courtyard and they walked to the car together. Satoshi stiffened as they approached the car.
"They aren't going to hurt you," Mori said referring to their parents sitting in the car. Both kids got in the car.
"Hey there guys how are you?" Akira asked looking at his two sons. He could tell Satoshi was nervous and he could understand why.
"Tired," Satoshi responded sliding over.
"Hn," Mori responded.
They headed off to the therapists office. Satoshi was nervous the whole way there, but he tried not to show it. He wanted to be brave and not show that he was scared of what was going to happen in that room in approximately twenty minutes. He didn't want his family to know anything about the situation. At least not right now and not more than they already knew. He was unsure how to react to this and he wished that the therapist had gone over it in a little more detail.
(meanwhile at the host club)
"Mommy where is Mori- senpai?" Tamaki wailed. He was wondering where the silent man was and how Hunny was fairing without his counterpart.
"He had some family matters to take care of and being the heir of his family I think they would be a bit more important at the moment," Kyouya said pushing up his glasses as they glared. Tamaki shrank back into the corners and started to grow mushrooms as he looked over at Hunny. The oldest host didn't seem that bothered about the absence of his silent counterpart. Tamaki decided that Hunny must know what was going on and decided that he would try to find out. he wandered over to that side of the room an d approached Hunny.
"Hunny-senpai? Where is Mori-senpai?" Tamaki asked.
"Didn't you hear Kyo-chan? He had family business. I am fine here by myself today," Hunny said in his most menacing voice making Tamaki run back to his corner of woe.
(Chika)
Chika had just gotten out of Karate club and was still pondering one question: Where was Satoshi? He hadn't been the last week either. It was starting to worry Chika. Once was something but missing Karate twice was something that Satoshi never did. Chika was walking when he ran into someone and as he looked up he realized that it was his girlfriend.
"Watch out there sweetie. You are lucky I wasn't a thug," Hana crooned to him like he was a five year old.
"Hana I highly doubt there are any thugs on Ouran Academy's property, but thank you for your concern," Chika said. He shoved his hands in his pockets. He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked over at his girlfriend.
"I asked you if you were OK?" she asked again studying her boyfriend with a worried look. Something was off about Chika and she was going to get to the bottom of it.
"It's just Satoshi missed practice again and I am getting worried about him. He never misses this much. Do you mind if we go to the high school building? His brother might know where he is," Yasuchika said looking at his girlfriend.
"Sure hun. If it will make you feel better. And then we can take my car to wherever we want. I was thinking shopping," she said smiling to herself. They walked off to the high school building and soon came upon music room three. They opened the door and Chika looked inside.
"Hey there Chika-chan," Hunny called over to his brother. He was hiding his true feelings of wanting to slap his brother right then and there for being so dense.
"Where is Takashi I need to speak to him," Chika said looking at his older brother.
"He isn't here he had to take care of some family business. What did you need him for maybe I can help," Hunny said.
"Satoshi missed practice again today. I'm getting really worried. What do you think has happened?" Chika asked.
"Sato-chan had to probably go along, too and he just forgot to tell you," Hunny said. 'Finally he is realizing something is off about his best friend. Maybe things get through that thick head faster than I thought,' Hunny thought as he observed his brother.
"Thank you. See Chika it was nothing to worry about. Just some family matter. Probably a last minute dinner party or something that they had to go and get ready for. We will see you all later," Hana beamed as she dragged her boyfriend away.
"Yeah you are right Hana. Probably just a dinner party," Chika said repeating what she had said. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off though. His brother had seemed his normal happy self, but Chika felt there was something he wasn't being told. He figured if he did find out the news wasn't going to be good.
