Disclaimer: Sadly, I DON'T own Ouran High School Host Club.

Oscar was not happy. He was being boisterously loud. He hated being in hospitals more than anything. But the one thing he hated the most was the doctor and not just any doctor, his doctor. His doctor always teased him about anything and everything.

Right now, his doctor was teasing him about how childlike Oscar was being. Oscar eventually got him to get out, but was still angry.

Oscar was in the middle of yelling about how much he hated this place when Rina burst into the room.

Oscar's face lit up and his mood lightened in an instant. "How are you doing, my beautiful kitten?"

Rina put her hand on her forehead. "Don't tell me they injected you with morphine…again?"

Oscar just sat there smiling while Rina groaned. Most people who are injected with morphine sleep for a long time. Her father was the exception. Instead, he became wide awake and had mood swings.

"Daddy," Rina said, but smiled. She walked over and gave him a hug. Mori and Honey had just entered the room.

"Takashi! Mitskuni!" Oscar said excitedly. "Takashi, I'm looking forward to a beautiful wedding between you and my little Rina."

Oh, and Oscar said strange things while he was like this, too. Oscar just sat there smiling while Rina and Mori had frozen. They exchanged a glance and then looked away. Honey went up and poked Oscar.

"The wedding won't be held for two more years," Mitskuni said.

Oscar's smile faded as anger settled in. "No! They need to marry now! Rina? Haven't you-"

Rina clamped her father's mouth shut with her hand. "Will you please stop saying these kinds of things, Daddy?"

Rina took her hand away from his face which had turned into a smile. "I see. That would be a 'no' then."

Mori stared at Rina. He was wondering what she and her father were talking about. Rina's face had become red in the cheeks, so it must be something important. Mori sighed. He wished she would trust him more with those kinds of things.

Mori didn't say much as they all talked with Oscar. Rina glanced at him with concern. What could be on his mind, she wondered. Mori met her glance and she looked down. She wasn't embarrassed at getting caught glancing at him, not anymore. She was worried about him.

The three of them left. Mori and Rina were worried for the other, but didn't want to say anything since Honey was there. Rina took her car home and Mori and Honey took theirs.

Rina arrived home to see her brothers quarrelling, but ignored them and went to her room. She held her pillow to her chest. "How can I say it to him?" she whispered aloud.

She thought, why is it so hard to tell him how I truly feel? Even though, we're already engaged. If things keep going on like this, I fear…No, I can't think about that. I can never ever think about that. If that happened, I don't know what I'd do. Takashi, I…

Mori was stony silent as usual. He was in his room thinking about many things. One thing more than most. He was on his bed still in his uniform. Mori sighed. He was pondering what Rina was thinking. He knew her well, but he couldn't get a good read on her when she was like this. Is she nervous about her father? Takashi slammed his fist on his pillow, not wanting the one thought that seemed the most logical to cross his mind, but it did. Does she want to break off the engagement, he wondered. Maybe that's what's bothering her.

Rina got up as usual and put her curly hair into her usual bun. "Tonight, I'll tell him everything," Rina said to herself as she got ready.

She arrived at school on record time and was nervous at the thought of seeing Takashi. She didn't think she could face him just yet. She quickly retreated into her classroom before he would be able to see her. Rina saw Haruhi, but no sign of the twins.

"Haruhi?" Rina said.

Haruhi started and looked over at Rina. "Ah, Rina. Good morning."

"Good morning. Is something the matter?"

Haruhi sighed. "Everytime an event like tonight happens, the guys want me to dress up as a girl."

Rina chuckled. "So, that's all that was bothering you?"

"No, not really," Haruhi said.

"Is it Tamaki?"

"Wha..? No," Haruhi said quickly, too quickly.

"I won't pry," Rina said.

Haruhi smiled. "Thank you." Haruhi returned to her thoughts until the twins came in laughing.

Rina ignored their conversation. She was thinking too much about what she wanted to say to Takashi tonight. She didn't know where to start or anything.

She was thinking so much that she didn't hear the teacher say her name. When she finally did, she had the wrong subject in mind.

"It seems you have picked up some bad habits of not paying attention while you were away, Rheims," her teacher said.

She let the class have their little giggle and ignored the teacher's comment. Rina was thinking about something more important. She sighed. By the time it was lunch, she still had no idea of what she was going to say to Takashi.

She had someone make her lunch, so she could eat in the classroom. She took out the bento and started eating. Haruhi sat by her and they made small talk. They talked about the Host Club, why Haruhi wanted into this school, and so on and so forth. They heard a knock and Rina looked up to see Reo.

Reo smiled when he met Rina's gaze. "Hey, Rina. What are you doing here?"

"Keeping Haruhi company," Rina answered. Reo walked into the room and stood by where Rina was sitting.

"You know, I get lonely, too," Reo said.

Rina looked up at him. "Reo-kun, we didn't know each other that well. Please, leave."

"But-"

"You heard her," said a new voice. Rina would recognize that voice even if she was deaf.

"Takashi," she said.

"Leave," Takashi said to Reo.

Reo glared at Takashi but left. Rina looked up at Takashi. "Why are you in here?" He asked her once Reo had left.

"To keep Haruhi company," Rina said once again, but with less truth. It was a half-truth.

Takashi nodded and left. Rina felt her heart break as she watched him go. She had to tell him everything and soon or else, she might lose him.

"Rina, are you okay?"

Rina turned to Haruhi and put on a cheery smile. She was acting and she hated it. "I'm fine."

Haruhi smiled. "I won't pry."

Rina smiled gratefully. They returned to their previous conversation, but half of Rina's mind was still on Takashi. How was she going to make things right?

Takashi was storming down the hall. It was obvious he was upset. Honey climbed onto his shoulders. "Takashi, what is it?" Honey asked.

Takashi didn't say anything. "Is it about Rina-chan?" Honey said, trying again.

Takashi stopped walking. "I'm worried about her. She usually tells me what's bothering her when something starts to bother her."

"Maybe, she's nervous about something," Honey suggested.

"Maybe…" Takashi trailed off, letting his thoughts finish his sentence. Or maybe she wants out of the engagement.

"Takashi, Rina-chan never wants to do anything to hurt you. You know that, right?" Honey said.

"Ah," Takashi replied quietly.

Honey patted Takashi's head. "Don't worry too much. It'll all work out."

That's what I hope, Takashi thought.

A.N.: Haha! Ending is coming soon! Is this getting intense or not? I'm just trying to set a good mood.
