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

Original Idea By: twilighttween ALICE aka Grayson's Gal

'A new mother, a new mother?' Ei thought over and over as she dug through her different closets for some toys she felt the need to get rid of in exchanged for the new ones from Yuzuru. She had never saw Miss Tween as a mother, even when she was living in the orphanage under Miss Tween as the director. Granted she was kind and caring towards her, but she was like that with all the children. She never got too close in the case that the children would be more willing to go with their respectable parents wanting to adopt them. How weird was it going to be to start calling Miss Tween mother? Not necessarily mother like she called her real mom but simply referring to her as her mother like she referred to the hosts as her father was going to be weird enough. Than there was Miss Ryoushi, Ei didn't even like her at the moment but if Tamaki's grandmother wanted to really see them together like Kaoru and Alice were now. It made her shudder at the idea of having to refer to that woman as her mother.

After Ei found the five toys to donate, she made her way up to Kyoya floor.


"Hello Ei," said Kyoya when she walked in, "Ah I take it you got some gifts from your Grandfather?"

"Yep, and I have the ones to donate," said Ei.

"Go ahead and put them on the sofa for now," said Kyoya, "I'll see to it that they are taken to the proper place."

"Like the orphanage?" asked Ei.

"Yes Ei, the orphanage," said Kyoya. Both were referring to the Twilight Orphanage where the hosts had found her. That's were most of her donated things went to.

"Thank you Kyoya. I'll just go do my weekend homework," said Ei. She usually did her homework on Kyoya's floor. It was the best place to work without any idea trouble or distractions. Whenever she came home one the staff members always brought her bag to his floor so she wouldn't have to worry where it was.

When she walked into her room she was surprised to see her new golden statue on a new shelf with all the others, just the stars and nothing more. Ei counted and saw there were indeed 10 of them. Most of the awards and honors Ei had received both before and after she came to live with the hosts were kept on Kyoya's floor as well. It was usually the safest place for them.

"You keep winging all of these stars and we'll have to look to getting a case for them," said Kyoya walking into the room.

"You never think that my teacher is playing favorites with me over this do you?" asked Ei.

"I doubt it. I've seen your work and it's nothing to be ashamed from," Kyoya assured her, "So how did breakfast this morning with Alice and Kaoru?"

"It was, good," Ei allowed, "Miss Tween made us an American style breakfast with a bunch things in it."

"Sounds nice," said Kyoya, "I'm sure she'll be able to make more dishes like that once she officially moves in with Kaoru."

"Yay," he heard Ei mutter before walking over to her desk and started on her homework.

"Ei," said Kyoya standing next to her desk, "am I right in assuming you're not too thrilled with the idea of Alice joining the family?"

"What made you think that?" asked Ei trying hard to focus on her work.

"Call it a hunch," said Kyoya, "You know this isn't going to really change anything between you and Kaoru."

"That's not what I'm really worried about," said Ei, "I, I don't want a new mother in general!"

"Oh so that's it," said Kyoya, "Ei just because she's going to be a mother to you just because she'll be a mother of sorts with you it doesn't mean she's going to fully replace your real mother all together."

"I just don't want to forget my mother all together. I don't want to be too busy focusing on this new mother that I don't think of her," Ei tried to explained.

"Ei, there is nothing anyone can ever do that will make you forget your mother. Your fathers and I will not allow for that and that includes Kaoru. We all loved her too much to let her vanish completely from our minds or our lives fully," Kyoya assured her.

"Hmm," Ei hummed.

"You know, call this a hunch but I think a lot of this has something to do with the fact that you're just afraid of the unknown in this situation, but I may have an idea that may help you with it," said Kyoya, "How would you like to do some of the planning for the wedding?"

"Some of the planning?" asked Ei.

"Yes you take charge of one the key aspects of the wedding," said Kyoya.

"Like what?" asked Ei.

"Well let's see," said Kyoya pulling out his tablet, "We need someone to look into the catering, aka the food that'll be served at it. We'll need someone to look into the flowers we'll be using. It may not hurt to have some sort of entertainment for the many guests that will be attending. Any of those things sound to your liking?"

"Well I would think Hunny would be handling the food part," said Ei.

"Well if you do decide you want to help with that it doesn't mean he can't help you with it. Anymore then Hikaru or someone else from his family wanting to help with the florists seeing as how your great-grandmother knows a thing or two about flower arranging," said Kyoya

"That's an understatement," said Ei.

"I know, but my point is if you wish to be put in charge of picking out the flowers for this thing I'm sure Hikaru would gladly assist you in it," Kyoya explained.

"Why don't I try that than?" said Ei, "I try and help with things like the catering and flowers with Hikaru and Hunny's help and also maybe find some sort of entertainment. Could Mori help me with that?"

"I'm sure he would be honored to do such a thing," said Kyoya, "We need to book a new act for some of our theaters anyway and I think he volunteered to spear head that project anyway. It might be a bad idea to kill too birds with one stone."

"That sounds gruesome," said Ei.

"I beg your pardon?" asked Kyoya.

"Oh it just reminded me of the people who was at the dinner party last night, the Ryoushis. Their main business is hunting and taxidermy. It sounds kind of gruesome to me. What's worse is I think Tamaki's grandmother wants Tamaki to marry their daughter," Ei explained.

"Oh so it was a set up?" asked Kyoya, "I should have known. Well in either case I'll make sure not to use that phrase anymore."

"Thank you, but what kind of entertainment would be good for a wedding?" asked Ei.

"Well why don't you do an hour of homework for now and then go to one of the working floors to do some research. You know what floors those are right?" asked Kyoya.

"Of course," said Ei.

"Alright I'll leave you to your work than," said Kyoya. He set a timer one Ei's desk for an hour and left her alone to do her work.

Ei was actually starting to feel a little bit happy over the idea of helping planning something big like a wedding. It made her do her homework with a smile on her face.

After her hour was up Ei eagerly headed out.

"Ei, don't be on that floor too long," Kyoya called out as she left, "I want you to do at least another of homework today."

"Don't worry I will," said Ei.

Ei happily road one of the elevators down, until she came to one of the business floors that specialized in booking entertainment for the theaters owned by the hosts. Usually the floors were empty on the weekends. One or two of the employees may come in but they usually didn't bother her too much.


Ei hummed to herself as she walked over to one of the computers to get started on her research when she happened to notice a light at the end of one of hallways in one of the big offices.

Curious Ei fallowed it down to see who was here. To her surprised it was the new floor manager Akira Kikku.

"Miss Kikku, why are you here?" she asked curious.

"Oh hello Miss Ei, I'm just getting my office set up and ready so I can really get my work started on Monday," Akira explained as she kept putting her things away in a nice organized manner, "Why are you here?"

"I was hoping to do some research on what kind of entertainment I could do for Kaoru's wedding to Miss Tween," Ei told her.

"Oh, so the mater is getting married huh?" asked Akira, "Good to know. So what kind of entertainment were you hoping for?"

"I'm not sure but I want something more than just a band. I mean we can still get that and or a DJ," said Ei.

"Ah I see," said Akira as she got on her computer, "I think we're suppose to be researching a new act for one of the theaters as it was. So I've been doing some research at home." She looked around a little working hard.

"You don't have to do this for me. I can do this on my own," said Ei.

"It's no big deal," said Akira, "Ah here we go, Fēi Yín Lóng."

"What?" asked Ei.

"Loosely translated it means Flying Silver Dragon. They're Chinese Acrobats. They're quite good. They've been touring all over Asia and Europe recently. I think they're currently staying at a hotel here in Tokyo called Cherry Arms and still doing their training at a local gym near the hotel," said Akira, "Sound like something you'd like?"

"What sorts of things do they do?" asked Ei.

"Well here's a video of their work," said Akira pulling it up to play. Ei watched in awe as the acrobats did flips and twirls and or formed many amazing looking shapes with their bodies.

"Cool, "she said.

"You interested?" asked Akira.

"Kind of," said Ei.

"Why don't I call and set up a time where you and one of your fathers can go and meet them in person including Mr. Chao Shé who's the head of the group," said Akira.

"Sure that be nice and make sure it's Mori. He and I are supposed to be the ones doing this together, At least according Kyoya."

"I will do that," said Akira, "what else are you helping with the wedding Miss Ei?"

"Kyoya offered me to do the catering and flowers," said Ei.
"Well I'm afraid that's not my specialty," said Akira, "But if you need the help my door it always opened Miss Ei."

"Thank you, you're very kind," said Ei, "And you work really hard too. No wonder Kyoya hired you."

"Well I may be all those things you said but I also know a few things about entertainment," said Akira.

"Oh really?" said Ei.

"Well I've been told that I have some magical hands," said Akira as her hand came up behind Ei's ear and suddenly looked like she pulled out a coin.

"How did you do that?" asked Ei.

"Hmm it's a trade secret," said Akira, "But I can show you another trick." She pulled out a deck of cards and shuffled them. "Now pick a card, any card" Ei pulled one out and looked at it.

"Oka now put it back into the deck without me seeing it," Akira instructed. Once Ei did Akira shuffled them some more and then spread them all out on her desk. She waved her hand over the cards for a moment or two until she came to rest on one card and picked it up, "Is this your card?"

"Yes!" Ei gasped surprised, "How did you do that?"

"It's kind of complicated," Akira explained, "When you put the card back into the deck, I carefully pushed it out a bit with my thumb to Mark it. I have to be sneaky about it and when I shuffle the cards again I just look for the one that's lightly out of place and remember where I put it when I spread them out. It's kind of hard; it took me a while to really learn how to do it."

"I want to try," said Ei.

"Well I tell you what. If you can learn to master this here trick I will teach you how I pulled the coin out of your ear," said Akira handing Ei her deck of cards.

"Oh I can get my own deck of cards," said Ei, "but you promise me you'll teach it to me?"

"Yes of course," Akira promised.

"Ei, are you in here?" the two ladies heard Tamaki calling out.

"Oh Tamaki's here," said Ei.
"Is that Mr. Suoh?!" said Akira in a panic.

"Hello?" said Tamaki walking into the office, "Oh here you are Ei and oh Miss Kikku, hello."

"Uh hello Mr. Suoh," said Akira looking away and turning red.

"Miss Kikku was helping me do some research for the wedding," Ei explained.

"Well that's super sweet of you Miss Kikku," said Tamaki, "But can we put your research on hold at the moment? Your other fathers and I are taking you out for lunch to celebrate you winning your 10th golden star!"

"Oh goody, thank you," said Ei bouncing out of the office.

"Have fun," said Akira not looking up at Tamaki, "I'll just stay here and keep getting my office ready."

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Tamaki asked leaning closer to the woman. Akira shivered and gulped.

"It sounds like a family thing. I shouldn't but in!" she said.

"Oh please Miss Kikku, we just can't leave you here while we go out and enjoy a nice meal. Come with us. It'll get us all a real chance to really get to know you," said Tamaki insisted.

"Ar, are you sure it's okay I go?" asked Akira.

"I insist," said Tamaki practically pulling her out of her chair.

"Oh okay," Akira got out in a squeak, "That's all that matters right?"
