Hey guys, another chapters here. Sorry if its kind of weird. I have bad writers block. Hope you enjoy. Oh and I have to note something about the last chapter guys, and this was my fault: chapter 9 wasn't meant for anyone to hate Mori and think he was a bastard. I just didn't think it would make sense if he had all of a sudden fallen for her. Mori was just stating how he felt so I'm sorry if some misinterpret that ^^;I apologize 100000 times because Mori's my favorite host and I completely ruined his character in the last chapter...not to mention, I ruined OHC completely thanks to me making Akahana's story too damn sad. Good news though: From the chapter after this one and onward, the fanfic will become A LOT happier :D Lawl I got the idea for this chapter at like 1 in the morning...odd XD Enjoy guys :D
On a quick side note: I recently read the chapter in the OHC manga where Hunny and Mori's father's appear...and omg I lawl'ed . XD Mori's dad looks like a frigging mafia boss while Hunny's dad looks almost IDENTICAL to Albert Einstein XDDD...NO WONDER HUNNY'S SO GOOD AT MATH XDD! Well, that's just a little something funny I wanted to add. And don't ask why this chapter is named after an Evanescence song...I couldn't think of a good title...
Chapter 10:Bring me to life
"What if, one day, Akahana...DOESN'T come back?"
'Those words again...I haven't been able to stop thinking of those since almost week ago when Akahana said goodbye.' Mori thought as he put on a plain blue t-shirt and a black jacket. It was early in the morning and there was only a little bit more time until the schools festival was to be held. Mori opened the door leading out of his bedroom and made his way down towards his families dining room. Sliding the door open, Mori noticed his brother and father sitting at the table.
"Taka, good morning!" Satoshi greeted, enthusiastically.
"Good morning, son. Sleep well?" Mori nodded at his father and sat at the table. He picked up some toast and spread butter on the surface and began to eat. Satoshi turned to his brother and smiled big,
"Taka, Mitsukuni called earlier. He said you and the other hosts are meeting at school today to help set up for that upcoming festival, right?" Mori nodded at his brother.
"I see. All the parents are required to be there, correct? I will not miss it." Mori's father nodded and continued on with his breakfast. Satoshi jumped up from his seat and got in a dramatic pose,
"I want to come too! Can Chika and I come with you guys?" Mori smiled at his brother, nodded, then stood up and ruffled Satoshi's hair. Mori turned and made his way towards the door.
"See you later." Mori's father and Satoshi waved and Mori made his way outside to the limo that was waiting to take him to Ouran.
~xXx:Later that morning, at Ouran~
"Mori-senpai, over here!" Tamaki shouted, running over to Mori who had just made his way into the schools court yard. Students and construction workers were scattered all around and different things were being set up for the schools event. The air ranked with different smells and Mori could feel his allergies start to sense it.
"Good, now we'll all here," Kyoya got out his black note book, "Lets all go over the plans for the festival next week, shall we? Then after that, we each will be assigned to help with certain students at certain locations. Tamaki, have you decided whether we should cosplay or not?" The megane looked over at his friend in curiosity.
Tamaki shook his head, "Nope. Just dress formally." The hosts all nodded and made their way to the club room to discuss their plans and assignments. On their way there,they all talked about Akahana.
Hikaru turned to his twin, "So, she said she was gonna show up right? Think that dad of hers will show?"
"Probably, Hikaru. I mean, Its required. Than again, she IS going to be moving soon so it wont really matter, I suppose." Kaoru sighed.
"I hope Aka-chan's alright. She seemed like she really didn't want to go. And when she told Takashi she understood about him not loving her...did that make the least bit of sense to anyone?" Hunny looked at each host and they each shook their heads.
"What she said didn't seem logical." Kyoya mumbled,
"But than again, her dropping that studying abroad news junk didn't make sense either. Was that why she looked so down in class that day?" Kaoru turned to Haruhi and his brother who shrugged.
"Who knows?" Hikaru grunted in annoyance.
Kaoru looked over at his friends and frowned, "And another thing, why does she always seem to be there when we're talking about her? Like the time when we were discussing if she got abused or not she was there listening in on us. And then she heard what Mori-senpai said about him not loving her...why do you think that is? Is she an ease dropper?" The hosts shrugged at their friend again and continued walking. Now, the air was filled with silence. As the hosts made their way into the schools building, Hunny looked up at Mori and stopped in his tracks. Mori stopped as well and turned around to see his cousin standing behind him, his head held down.
"Takashi, I don't want to see Aka-chan go..." mumbled the cake-lover who was hiding his eyes. Mori moved closer to Hunny and picked him up.
"Me either, Mitsukuni."
"But, we still can't do anything to stop her, huh?"
"No."
"Takashi, I know you said you didn't love Aka-chan...but you still care about her, right?" Hunny tried to look down to see his friends face.
Mori's dark eyes looked up at Hunny, "Yeah. Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean I don't care about her well-being. I'm just as worried as anybody else." Hunny nodded at his cousin and looked straight ahead,
"Well, I hope we get to see her at the festival so we can talk to her one last time...It seems too early to have her just leave and we never really solved anything, did we? We knows she gets abused but we can't report her father for it because of his big business that he runs..." Hunny sighed and ruffled his hair, "Maybe it really was because of us that her father started hurting her..."
"Who knows?" Mori mumbled, looking at the floor. Hunny could sense his friends discomfort and decided to not continue on with the conversation.
Soon the hosts had made it to music room three and they discussed the festival for the next few hours.
~xXx~
"Alright, it looks like we've set up everything for the festival." Kyoya said, standing up from his seat and closing his note book.
"So we just come dressed nice and help out occasionally if anyone needs it, right?" Hikaru turned to Kyoya who nodded at him. Hikaru gave a thumbs up.
Hunny jumped up from his seat in excitement, "This weekends gonna be so fun! I can't wait to see all the cake they have there!" The hosts sweat dropped at their friend. Hunny turned to Mori and smiled big, "Right Takashi?"
Mori didn't look at Mitsukuni, "Yeah."
Hunny's smile faded, "...Takashi?" Hunny patted Mori on the shoulder. Mori didn't move. He seemed to be deep in thought about something so Hunny took away his hand and went over and talked with the other hosts.
"What if, one day, Akahana...DOESN'T come back?" Mori touched his forehead as he could feel a bad migraine coming on, "What if she DOESN'T come back?"
Mori quickly shook the repeating words out of his head. 'Everything will be fine. We haven't been talking with her regularly so she'll be fine. Her father won't hurt her if we don't talk to her...' Mori said his goodbyes to his friends and made his way out of Ouran academy. Yes, everything would be JUST fine. He hadn't talked to Akahana directly since that day at the hospital(well, he didn't hold a conversation with her...). Her father said he would not hurt her if the hosts stayed away,
"If you really want to protect her, STAY AWAY FROM HER." Those words her father had spoken to Mori were so cold but at the same time true. She hadn't appeared to have any new injuries since then and maybe it WAS for the best that Takashi and the hosts stay away. But Mori did know one thing, he'd have to say his final goodbye to her when the time came...no matter what.
~xXx: The night of the school festival~
"Wow, what a big turnout." Haruhi said, looking around in the ball room to see many students and their parents dressed in beautiful, fancy clothes. They all were talking and seemed to be having such a good time. It was so beautiful, Haruhi couldn't help but smile.
"We'll what did you expect? Our school IS full of rich people, Haruhi." Hikaru smirked as he rested his elbow on Haruhi's shoulder. All the hosts were talking with their parents and eating and they too, seemed to be having fun...everyone except for Tamaki.
"Hey boss, where's the chairman?" shouted Kaoru who noticed the blonde sitting alone on a couch. Tamaki faked a smile and made his way over to his club,
"I have no idea. He said he'd be here and-"An loud voice echoed through the room. The hosts looked over to see the chairman standing on a stage, holding a microphone to his face. They sweat dropped.
"What the hell is he doing?" Hikaru looked over to Tamaki for answers.
Tamaki shrugged, "I have no clue and when did he get here?" The hosts rushed over to the stage and listen in on what the chair man had to say.
"Ladies and Gentleman, students of Ouran Academy...I have some bad news to inform you all." The chairman's face was sad and filled with anxiety.
"Oh, he's probably just announcing that Akahana's leaving our school. He does that with all the transfers." Tamaki smiled and nodded his head. The hosts frowned.
"Our first year transfer student, Akahana Siaoki..."
"See?" Tamaki did a hair flip and smiled bigger. The hosts looked from their king over to the chairman.
The chairman brought the microphone closer to his mouth "...is dead."
...The room went completely silent. The chairman placed the microphone back onto its holder and stepped off the stage and made his way over to the host club members. They didn't move. They didn't speak. Tamaki's smile had faded and now his face was pale as a ghost along with the other hosts faces. Each of their eyes were wide with fear and disbelief.
The twins swallowed big, "...Did...Did he just say what I think he said?" Tamaki looked at the twins, than rushed over to his father who was talking with some parents.
"Dad! What did you just say about Akahana?" He asked in a panic, sweat streaming down his face. The chair man's face became sad again and he placed two firm hands on his sons shoulders,
"She's dead, Tamaki. I got word of it early this morning. A call came in from one of the neighbors and her body was found in a bedroom of the Siaoki mansion." Tamaki backed away, those words burning his ears like fire,
'She's dead.' Tamaki continued to back away and shook his head slowly, "No..."
The twins covered their ears and shut their eyes, 'She's DEAD.' The twins grunted at those words playing back in their minds, "NO WAY."
Kyoya dropped his black notebook to the floor and leaned against a wall, 'Akahana is dead.' Kyoya shook his head as well in disbelief, "Impossible..."
Hunny and Haruhi quickly sat down and were breathing heavily, 'Her body was found...' Haruhi's brown orbs grew very small, "Bu-But...everything seemed fine...she...she..."
And finally...Mori. Mori leaned on a table that was in front of him and held his head down, his wide eyes focused on the tables surface, 'SHE'S DEAD. YOU COULDN'T SAVE HER. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.' Mori felt his conscious mentally abuse him as he tried to take everything in.
"D-Dad's, that's impossible! Her father had stopped-" Tamaki froze, "Her father...Wait."
"Where's her father at?" The twins screamed, running over to the chair man, tears streaming down their faces. The chair man put up hands in his defense,
"We are trying to locate him at the current moment. He wasn't there when the police found her body-"
"That's because HE'S the one who killed her!" shouted Hikaru. Everyone in the room gasped and looked over at the twin. Everyone was staring at him now. Looking away, Hikaru swallowed, "She...She can't be dead!" Hikaru cried. Kaoru and the twins parents came over and hugged Hikaru tight who was sobbing now.
"Aka-chan...!" Hunny choked on his tears and laid down on the couch he and Haruhi sat upon and sobbed into one of the throw pillows. Haruhi covered her face and felt her eyes start to burn. Tamaki and Kyoya held their heads down in extreme anger. Mori wobbled his way over to where his brother and father sat.
"Taka...A-Are you okay?" Satoshi gently touched his brothers wrist but Mori quickly pulled away. Mori sat and held his head, everyone unable to see his face.
"Takashi...I am so very sorry." Mori's father had an expression of extreme remorse and the man put his hand on one of his sons, trying to comfort him. Satoshi and his father's eyes widened when they heard a mumble of words come out of Mori's mouth,
"No..." He started,
'SHES DEAD'.' Mori shook his head fast,
"NO..." He said louder. Now Takashi stood up from his seat, still holding his head in pain.
'She's in love with you, but you're the reason she got hurt...YOU'RE THE REASON SHE'S DEAD.' Mori's bit his lip hard,
"NO...!" The hosts looked over at their friend,
"Takashi, are you o-" Mori grabbed the table and threw it across the room,
"NOOOOOOO!"
~Mori's POV~
"NO!" I shouted as I felt my body spring upward. My jaw dropped. I looked around to see I was in a dark room...but not just any room. My BEDROOM. 'It was all...a dream...' I breathed a sigh of relief and plopped back down onto my bed. Looking over at the clock beside my bed I noticed it said "2:30 A.M." I sighed again. I was covered in sweat and I felt my heart beat begin to slow down. 'That nightmare...was the worst I had ever had.' I thought, sitting back up in my bed and getting out of it. I decided to go outside for some fresh air and I made my way out of the room out to one of my families porches. I sat down and looked at the millions of stars in the night sky.
~Regular POV~
"Akahana..." Mori mumbled, thinking back on his dream. He couldn't help but wonder if that dream was a sign of some sort...was she really going to die? Or was she already dead? Thinking back, Mori remembered what the date was,'Tomorrow's when I have to go help the others set up for the festival this weekend...' Mori rubbed his neck in discomfort. Would that dream occur in real life or was it just a nightmare? Or...a warning? Mori looked at the ground and shut his eyes trying to stop thinking about the nightmare.
"Taka...? Mori turned around to see a very sleepy Satoshi standing before him. After he stopped rubbing his eyes, Satoshi yawned, "What are you doing outside at this time of night?"
Mori smiled, "Just thinking. Go back to sleep." Satoshi nodded and sleepily made his way back to his room. Mori looked back up at the sky,
"I may not be in love with her...but I will still do anything to save her." Mori stood up and ran back to his room. Picking up his cell phone that sat on a desk, he dialed a number. A few seconds of ringing occurred and then someone answered on the other line,Mori's eye's darkened.
"Mitsukuni, Lets meet at the club room an hour earlier tomorrow. I think its time Akahana's father finally got what he's deserved."
On the other end of the phone, Hunny yawned, "What do you mean, Takashi?"
Mori smirked, "At the school festival, we're going to get Akahana's father arrested and taken to jail...FOR GOOD." Mori pressed the end button and placed his cell down.
'I may not be in love with her...but that doesn't mean I don't care about her well-being. I WON'T let what happened in that nightmare become a realty." Mori went back to his bed and drifted into a deep sleep.
