DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN OR HELL GIRL IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Tamaki stood in his room confused for a moment.
"What, what happened to it?" he said. It was an ordinary straw doll now. It wasn't black any more and the red thread was gone. "How could that be, I didn't untie it."
Could someone else have pulled it?
'It doesn't make sense it just doesn't,' he thought as he walked of his room. He found Kyoya standing in the hallway looking a bit flustered.
"Kyoya, what's wrong?" asked Tamaki.
"It's your grandmother," said Kyoya.
"What, what happened to her?" asked Tamaki.
"Well I followed you after you ran out of the room back to yours. Then I thought I heard something from your grandmother's room and when I went back she was gone!" said Kyoya.
"What do you mean she was gone?" asked Tamaki running to the room only to find it completely empty.
"Grandmother?" said Tamaki looking around for her. He looked towards her bathroom door and saw it was wide open and she wasn't in there either.
'Where did she go?' thought Tamaki.
"I was in the hallway and I didn't see or heard her leave the room," said Kyoya.
'But that's impossible!' thought Tamaki, 'I didn't pull the thread!'
"What's going on here?" asked Tamaki's father as he too walked into the room.
"It appears your mother is missing sir," said Kyoya.
"What, well where did she go?" asked Yuzuru.
"I'm not sure, I never saw her leave the room," said Kyoya, "She just disappeared."
"Hmm," said Yuzuru.
"Everyone," he called out at he top of the stairs, "Stop what you're doing and lease go find your mistress. It appears she's missing."
"But what about all of this stuff?" asked one of the servants that was helping to move out Haruhi's things.
"Leave them be for now," said Yuzuru, "Right now just worry about finding my mother."
"Yes sir," said the servants.
"We'll help too Father," said Tamaki.
"No don't worry yourself Tamaki," said Yuzuru, "You should go back to the hospital to be with Haruhi. She is still your wife for now right?"
"Yeah I guess you're right," said Tamaki.
Maybe going back to the hospital where he had first seen Ai would help him figure out what happened.
When he arrived back at the hospital, he saw Dr. Wario walking towards him carrying a box full of his things. He stopped when he saw Tamaki.
"Hello Mr. Suoh," he said.
"Hello Doctor," said Tamaki bitterly remembering that this was the same man that hadn't done anything to save his baby and ruin Haruhi's chances of ever having another.
"I don't know if it means anything now, but I'm sorry I took that bribe and did all of that to your wife," said Dr. Wario.
"Well I'd like to think I can someday," said Tamaki.
"Guess that's all I can expect now," said Dr. Wario. Then Tamaki noticed a weird looking black mark on the doctor's chest.
"Doctor what is that mark on your chest?" he asked.
"Oh this," said the doctor looking down at his chest. "It's nothing you should worry yourself about sir. It's just something for me to worry about." He walked away with his things without another word.
Tamaki was confused to say the least. When he turned around he gasped when he saw Ai standing behind him.
"What, what are you doing back here?" he asked. "What happened to the doll you gave me?"
"Someone else desired vengeance against the woman who wrong you as well," said Ai, "They too summoned me and agreed to be bound in covenant with me and they pulled the red thread."
"So what does that mean about me?" asked Tamaki.
"You still have a chance to know happiness both here and in the after life. What you chose to do with your life from now on is up to you," said Ai.
"So someone else wanted my grandmother in hell?" asked Tamaki.
"Yes," said Ai.
"But who…," Then Tamaki remembered Dr. Wario and the mark on his chest.
"It was him wasn't it?" asked Tamaki.
"Yes," said Ai simply.
"So then he's bound to hell?" asked Tamaki.
"Yes," said Ai, "His grievance has been avenged."
Tamaki was shocked. Someone else had hated this grandmother enough to want her to go to hell?
He looked back and saw Ai was gone again.
'How is she doing this?' he thought before heading back to Haruhi's room.
When he got to it she was still asleep. He walked over and kissed her.
"I don't care what happens, even if I have to give everything up I'm not letting you leave me I promise," he said to her.
Of course with his grandmother now gone, did that mean they had to get a divorce now? He guessed they have to wait and see.
A huge investigation went into finding the woman, but nothing turned up. In the mean time Haruhi continued to get better in the hospital. Tamaki's father had all of her stuff moved back into the house saying that as long as Shizue wasn't around Haruhi would be allowed to at least stay with them while she recover, both in physically and mentally. While the investigation continued, Kyoya and Tamaki did some investigation of their own into some of Tamaki's employees and servants. It turns some of the employees had been told by Shizue to keep Tamaki late so he wouldn't be able to come home and spend time with Haruhi and possibly make love with her. Even back at their honeymoon she had been the one has someone call them all the time and keep them from having sex less Haruhi get pregnant and produce the heir. That had been Shizue's hope all the time, either keep Haruhi from having a baby thus not letting her keep her end of the bargain or torture Haruhi so much that she'd want to leave on her own. Tamaki was quick to fire many of his employees for that along with some of his servants that had more or less been helping to sabotage Haruhi. Tamaki just hoped none of them felt like banishing him to hell over that.
About a month later, after Haruhi had been released, Yuzuru officially called off the investigation for his mother.
"Are you sure about this Father?" asked Tamaki.
"Yes for weird reason," said Yuzuru.
"So then what's going to happen to Haruhi and me?" asked Tamaki.
"Well those rules you were following weren't mine, so I don't think you have to follow them anymore. That includes you not having to get a divorce," said Yuzuru.
"Really, oh that's wonderful!" said Tamaki happily, "It's still bad we can't have a baby now though."
"Well not necessarily," said Yuzuru.
"What do you mean?" asked Tamaki.
"Well you know you could look into some other methods into having a child. Or I for one see no problem with adopting," said Yuzuru.
"Adopting huh?" said Tamaki.
"Mr. and Mrs. Suoh here is your daughter," said their adoption agent hading them their new baby all the way from China.
"Oh, she's absolutely beautiful!" said Haruhi as she cradled her new baby in her arms.
"Let me see Haru-Chan, let me see her!" said Hunny.
Haruhi lowered her down to let him get a better look.
"She's so cute!" said Hunny.
"And you don't have to worry about having a kid looking like the boss," teased the twins.
"Oh ha, ha, very funny you two," said Tamaki looking at his new baby.
"So what are you naming her?" asked Kyoya.
"Tamaki suggested Ai," said Haruhi.
"Why that name?" asked the twins.
"It's just a name I thought of," said Tamaki.
From outside the window, Ai, Ren Hone, and Wanyūdō all watched the happy scene.
"He named the baby after you Mistress?" said Ren, "That's interesting."
"I wonder if he would have done that if he had been the one that pulled the red thread," said Hone.
"Who knows," said Wanyūdō, "Even now it still bothers him that his grandmother got sent there even after all she did to him."
"So even though he's not doomed to Hell he still got his vengeance against that woman. That's got to be a win/win right there," said Ren.
"Still though, I can't help but wonder if he really would have pulled that thread he had the chance," said Hone.
"He seemed like he was going to. It maybe just as well though. Having to take a soul like his to Hell would be heartbreaking even to you right Mistress?" said Wanyūdō.
"Hmm," was all Ai would say, "We should go.
Tamaki looked out the window in time to Ai standing there before she disappeared.
He thought about that doctor that had done his job and was now doomed to hell. He felt sorry for the doctor, but was also mad at him for killing his baby. Of course now that he had one of his own it might not matter so much.
'But just the same,' he thought looking back out where he saw Ai, 'If I had gotten to my doll first, I probably would have pulled the thread even if it meant going to Hell after I died. I would have just done my best to make sure my life was Haruhi was extra happy. And that's also what I'm going to do for her and our baby now, because now we truly can have a happy life.'
A candle lit with the name Hiraku Wario.
