*Please note* for the purpose of this story Ranka is younger than he is in the anime (he's pretending to be a lot older to pass for her father and to help protect her secret). Here he is the same age as Shigure -26.
Kotoko and Ranka didn't have kids, because she died when she was 22. (A lawyer trainee)
They started going out in high school when he was 15 and she was 18 (only 3 years apart). Kotoko attended lobelia and Ranka went to school with the Sohma's.
Haruhi was 4 at that time and was 8 when she died.*
The Fujioka household was quiet, Ranka had the weekend off of work and Haruhi was spending the weekend at her brother's house. In other words, he was very much alone. He was currently sitting around the table with a cup of steaming tea thinking of Haruhi. Honestly he wanted what was best for her and he knew that Kotoko would want the same.
He remembered the first time he had brought Kotoko to Shigure's house, after weeks upon weeks of begging from both Ayame and Shigure, he had gave in. Remembering the pure disaster, yet luck, that struck during that visit had him chuckling to himself.
Two figures stood outside an orient-looking mansion, surrounded by a beautiful garden. "This place is beautiful", a girl whispered, taking in the view of the forest surrounding them. Her brown hair hung loosely above her shoulders. A boy stood happily beside her, wearing a t-shirt and jeans "Actually, I'd have to say it's over the top". She faced him and burst out laughing "that's rich coming from you". From the corner of his eye Ryouji (Ranka's real name) spotted familiar faces.
Two other teens were currently making their way towards them. "Are you going to stand out here and not introduce me to this lovely lady, Ryouji?", teased the first. He had black hair and deep brown eyes that held childish humour in them. "How rude of you! To think I was going to make you a new dress for your after school profession!", exclaimed the other. He was dressed rather flamboyantly and had long white hair with bright green eyes.
Ryouji just laughed and gestured towards the girl who stood beside him "This is Kotoko", then turning his attention towards her he added "and these two gentlemen are Shigure and Ayame".
Shigure pushed past the other two boys and took her hand "So you are the unlucky lady? Well, I'll let you know that I'm always available ". Ayame pretended to look heartbroken "Shigure my love I thought I was forever yours!", he cried while falling to his knees.
"Oh Aya", he replied equally as dramatic "I lost control, but you should know that my heart will eternally belong to you". They both reached for an embrace, before suddenly throwing their hands in front of them, giving each other a thumbs up. "Yes!".
Ryouji smiled, they were his best friends alright, though he was upset that Hatori couldn't make it. He cast a quick glance at Kotoko who looked highly amused, she had expected this from his friends.
They finally got inside Shigure's new house and were having lunch together. Kotoko was the first to speak "Are you sure living on your own when you're only fifteen is a good idea?", concern laced her voice. Shigure looked unusually thoughtful and serious "I do, for my sister's sake".
"Sister?", she asked.
He nodded and lead her to the living room, where a little girl lay napping on the couch covered with blankets. The teenagers stood in the doorway, careful not to wake her. "That's Haruhi, Shigure decided to move because she didn't get ... treated properly in the main estate", Ryouji explained.
"I see". She said no more.
When the turned to leave the girl in peace, Kotoko tripped and landed clumsily on top of Ayame. She stood abruptly to apologise, but found a snake on the ground instead. Kotoko shrieked. Amazingly the little girl managed to remain asleep, oblivious to the noise and the boys were able to explain their story, including Haruhi's to Kotoko.
Overall she was shocked and not just by the fact that these people could turn into animals, but by the way their parents treated them. Her mind was made up, she dragged Ranka to Shigure's with her every week and spent the day with Haruhi. They'd bake, play games and watch movies together. Kotoko came to think of herself as a substitute mom and helped take care of Haruhi until she was eight years old, before passing away.
Ranka sighed, his heart hurt when he thought of her. His first and last love. The doorbell hurled him back into the present and he rushed to answer it. When he opened the door he was surprised to see the host club standing there.
Hope you enjoyed this.
I have a message from a friend of mine named Stephanie, who made a new Roleplay community yesterday.
