Chapter 9: Free Women
Sayuki and Honey awoke the next morning almost in sync. They smiled at each other now as they lay in bed. "Good morning Honey...", Sayuki murmured. "Morning Sayu-chan", Honey replied, letting out a slight yawn before the bedroom door suddenly burst open. "GOOD MORNING~!", sang Tamaki as he entered the room. The two sat up, giving him dirty looks as he had ruined their moment. "Get up! Get up!", Tamaki practically ordered, "Can't waste the day away in bed!!". Sayuki growled at Tamaki. Why was he so perky this morning? "Tamaki, no offense, but are you on something?", she asked as she moved from the bed. "On something...?", Tamaki asked in slight confusion, "What do you mean my daughter?". "You know, like drugs or something? Have too much coffee maybe? You're WAY too perky this morning, even for you", Sayuki stated, crossing her arms. "OH NO! What makes you say that?! I'm just...happy this morning! Come now, we can't let the day waste away", Tamaki turned Sayuki around and pushed her out the door and then she was grabbed by the twins. "What the heck is going on NOW?!", Sayuki questioned, glaring at the twins as they lead her down the hall and into their room, giving her some clothes to wear. "Hurry up or we're going to be late", stated the twins before leaving the room. "Late..? Late for what...?", Sayuki murmured, looking at the clothes and then towards the door. She let out an annoyed sigh, murmuring something about how no one ever told her anything as she put on the clothes.
She headed out of the room and down the hall and into the entrance hall, where everyone was now gathered. She crossed her arms, raising a brow at them now, "Ok guys, what's going on now?". "It's nothing to worry about my dear!", Tamaki stated. "You my as well tell her, daddy. Or it will only cause her to get angry when she finds out later", Kyoya implied. "Tell me what?", Sayuki asked. "Well...Your parents are saying that you have been kidnaped and they want to sue us and take you 'home'. It's all over the news and...", Tamaki paused, pointing towards the window, "If you look outside, there's a news chopper flying around this place and news crews out by the gate...". Sayuki slouched over, "You've gotta be kidding me...", she ran over to the window, pulling the curtain aside and spotting the news chopper in the air. Her gaze then shifted to the gate, seeing a bunch of people crowded around it, security guards being the only people holding them back. Well, that, and they could be charged for trespassing.
Sayuki slouched back into a chair, placing a hand on her head, "This can't be happening...". "We have to do something about this, but no matter how much trouble this causes, we will not let you go back to them", Tamaki stated, placing a hand under his chin, "But what are we going to do...". Sayuki lowered her hand and let out an angry growl as she got to her feet, storming over to the front door and opening it. Everyone watched in confusion. Where was she going? She walked down the road to the gates and looked around at the news crews as they began shouting out questions. "SHUT UP!", she ordered them all, crossing her arms now. The crowd quieted down, awaiting to hear what she had to say.
"Alright, hear this, and ya better be recording it too! I have not been kidnaped. These people are my friends and whatever accusations my stupid parents are making towards them are FALSE! I came here of my own free will and if my parents want a war and want to try suing them, then bring it on. But be warned, we don't lose", she stated. People were snapping pictures now and recording on their cameras. Some of the news crews were even live. The news crews, once again, began shouting out questions but Sayuki merely turned around and walked back to the house, shutting the door and looking at the group, now obtaining a rather worried look. "Anyone know any good lawyers?", she asked them. Everyone looked towards Kyoya. Man, he seemed to have EVERYTHING!
It had been a few days now and the group had begun to work on their case. A court date was set a week from then. Her parents had arranged it, and of course since they were rich, they could 'push up' the date with bribing and such. The group sat in the living room with the lawyer Kyoya had got for Sayuki. Her name was Nami Sarade, and she was the best damn layer Kyoya had. "As long as you're honest about the case, we should win. But are you comfortable telling the court, even in front of your parents, that they abused you?", Ms. Sarade asked, looking at Sayuki. She nodded, "Ya, I'm not gunna back down on this. We can't afford to lose because if we do, I won't be able to see the Host Club anymore.
That's a price I don't wanna pay". "Good, then we shouldn't have a problem winning this case. The only problem will be their lawyer, we do not know who they have hired yet so we don't know what we're up against. Do you have an idea on who it could be?", Ms. Sarade asked. Sayuki thought for a moment before shaking her head, "No idea. I stay out of my parents business so I don't know who they might have hired". "That's ok, whoever it is, we'll win either way", Ms Sarade stated as she closed her brief case and got to her feet, everyone following after her. She held her hand out to Sayuki and she shook it. "I'll see you in a few days just to work over what may happen in the court room. Goodbye for now", Ms. Sarade stated before turning and heading out.
Sayuki let out a soft sigh as she looked at everyone else, "I'm sure we'll win. Don't worry Sayu-chan!", Honey chimed. She nodded, "I hope so. I don't want to lose you guys. You're my first real friends and if I lose you...", she faded away. "Don't think like that!", the twins growled, hitting her over the head, "As soon as you think like that, we'll lose". She rubbed her head and looked at them, nodding. She surprisingly hadn't gotten angry from that. She then got to her feet, "Excuse me...", she murmured as she headed out of the room.
She now sat down at the beach, sitting on the sand and watching the tide as it swished in and out so gently. She was thinking about what was going to happen in court. It was finally hitting her that she was actually doing this, and if they won, she would be free, but she wouldn't have a home anymore. She couldn't ask the Host Club to let her stay with one of them. They had already done so much for her already and she didn't want to burden them anymore after this was over and done with. Sayuki let out a soft sigh, picking up a shell and chucking it over the water, watching it skip a few times before falling down into the water. "There you are, Sayu-chan!", came Honey's voice. She looked over at him and forced on a smile, "Hey". "What are you doing out here?", he asked as he came over and stood next to her. Her gaze shifted to the water once more, "Just thinking about everything that has and is going to happen...Once we win in court, I'll finally be free. No more abuse, no more hitting. I can finally live my life the way I want to without having things forced upon me...". Honey looked at her for a moment before taking a seat beside her and his gaze shifted towards the water. "That would be great, we'll all be happy knowing that you'll finally live without any abuse. We can hang out every day – even at the academy. Things will finally get better for you...", stated Honey, a smile appearing across his lips.
Sayuki nodding, "Ya...". Silence fell over the two for a moment. Not an awkward silence, just a peaceful one. "Where are you going to live after this...?", Honey suddenly asked, his gaze now shifting back to Sayuki, "Because you can always come and live with me or one of the other Host Club members". "I don't want to burden anyone more than I already have. Don't say that I'm not either. I keep dragging you guys into stuff you were never even supposed to know. Into stuff no one was supposed to know....So I don't want to burden you all with me living at your house. I just wouldn't feel right, even if you said it was ok. I'll get an apartment somewhere and I'll get a job and that will be that...", Sayuki stated.
It was silent between the two for a few moments before Honey spoke, "Why do you have to do everything on your own, Sayu-chan...?". "I...I don't know...I just don't want to bother others for help, I guess...", she replied. "You're not bothering anyone. Friends help each other and...", Honey paused, looking at Sayuki, "I really li-". "SAYUKI!! HONEY-SENPAI!! COME LOOK AT THE NEWS!!", exclaimed Tamaki. That just ruined the moment. Sayuki sat there for a moment longer with Honey. She thought she knew what he was going to say next but quickly brushed it off. He couldn't like her in that way, right? Just friends. Ya! That's it, just friends. "HURRY!!", the twins exclaimed. Sayuki got to her feet, brushing the sand off of her bottom, "COMING!". She held her hand out to help Honey to his feet and began heading towards the house. What could possibly be on the news?
"What is-", Sayuki was cut off as Tamaki turned her head towards the television. There her parents both stood on the screen in front of a news crew. "...And so we will not be going to court with our own daughter. But we will no longer have her corrupting our house hold. We ask that Sayuki comes and gets her stuff by the end of the week, that is all". Sayuki blinked in confusion, "Ok, what did I miss...?". "Your father doesn't want to take you, his own daughter to court. Probably because it would look bad for him if it got out that he beat his own daughter. So you're a free women, Sayuki", Kyoya stated. "Just like that..?", she asked in disbelief. "Just like that!", the twins replied, patting her on the back.
She couldn't believe this. Free from her parents. No more fighting, no more having to see them after she got her things from her house. No more wearing the twins clothes(lol). "So Sayuki, when do you want to go and get your things?", Tamaki questioned. "Uhm...tomorrow I guess..", she replied, "I think I'm gunna go lay down now...". With that she walked out of the room and upstairs. She didn't go to hers and Honey's room though. Instead, she went and sat up on the roof. She needed some alone time. "This is it...I'm free. Then why am I not happy? Why am I...scared?", she rubbed her head slightly, confused by her own feelings. She was Free now, she should be happy. But she wasn't.
END:~ O.O Sayuki is finally FREE!! WOOOT! But why isn't she happy go lucky? And what was Honey going to tell her before?! And why did I make this chapter so short?! Probably because I have other fic's to work on....o.O ANYWHO!! WOOT! MARCH BREAK! XD
