So Who Is The Dad
Disclaimer- I do not own Ouran High School Host Club.
Princessstphanie- Ok so this chapter was really late. I had a lot going on! I had to do a lot of homework, essays, trick or treating, my party, and some personal stuff. Also a bunch of my fandubs got completed at once. One of them being a fandub of episode seven of Ouran. Anyway enough excuses, I'm going to go ahead and let you guys read the chapter now. I'm sure you all can't wait. You will not be getting what you expected in this chapter though. Mostly because it took me so long just to update. When you finish reading this chapter please, please, look at the bottom of the chapter! Oh and for a random side note, this chapter was written while listening to the Blink-182 greatest hits.

It was really cloudy outside and nobody minded. Tension levels were kind of high in the house this morning, everyone was wondering what was going to happen later on. Tamaki was sitting on the floor gazing outside longing for it to rain and then finally went out, Hikaru and Kaoru were on the couch watching music videos and eating popcorn, Kyoya was in his room on his laptop as normal, and Haruhi was in her room pacing back and forth not knowing what to do still. She thought she knew who she wanted to be with, but she couldn't bring herself to make herself pick him. Haruhi had kept the new attitude she found herself with and all of them seemed to be acting differently. It was amazing how much a week could change people.
Another twenty minutes had passed and none of them even seemed to notice. Tamaki still sat outside just gazing while Hikaru and Kaoru stopped watching music videos and began to watch the television show Parental Control. Haruhi finally decided she would go out of her room to see what the others were doing. She stopped in the kitchen to eat a quick bowl of cereal first.
"Kaoru, Hikaru, where is Tamaki? I haven't seen him today. Could it be he is still in his room?"
"Wasn't he going to go swimming?" Kaoru asked Hikaru.
"Uh…. Maybe?"
"Why would he be swimming while it's raining?" Haruhi asked as she pointed to the sliding glass doors.
"Lord hasn't always been the most normal person you know." Hikaru pointed out as Kaoru nodded.
"You two have been so absorbed in the television that you lost Tamaki?" Haruhi asked dubiously.
"It's ok Haruhi, I'm sure he's fine." Hikaru now walked over to her. He wrapper his arms around her waist and made sure he held her close. He knew that would comfort her. He'd seen Kaoru do it before.
She decided to hug back, "I'm sure you are right. I'm going to go see if I can find him anyway. Just in case." Haruhi let go of Hikaru and walked outside.
"Just us now." Hikaru said.
"Again."
"So what do we do now?" Hikaru asked his brother and they both began to grin.
…later on that day, Haruhi's pov…
"Haruhi, you need to wake up. The rest of the guys and Antoinette are outside waiting for you." Kyoya whispered into my ear as I rolled over and mumbled.
"What?"
"You're late."
"Late for what?" I asked as I slowly sat up.
"Announcing who you want to marry." Kyoya said.
"Crap!"
I quickly brushed my hair well enough for a decent appearance and used the bathroom because I really needed to pee. The moment I got done peeing Kyoya and I went out to the car. How could I have fallen asleep again on such an important day? Any day other than this day would have been good. We drove to Kyoya's house and went inside which was filled with all the parents.
"You're late." Mr. Ootori stated.
"I'm sorry Mr. Ootori, I fell asleep again on accident."
…third person…
The boys sat all their bags on the table beside the door before they came in the house any farther. The boys all knew that if they were not chosen they would be sent back to their own mansions. There was a twenty five percent chance that they would be chosen seeing as how there was four of them and she had to marry one of them. They had small conversation with one another until one was brave enough to ask the question that had been on all of their minds for a week now.
"Haruhi, have you came to a decision?"
"Yes, I think I have." Haruhi looked down not wanting to look anyone in the eye at this particular moment. Instead she sat there petting Antoinette whom she had become close with. Antoinette seemed to feel Haruhi's current mood because she nuzzled at her gently. "It wasn't easy for me though."
"Before she makes that final decision; I have an idea!" Ranka jumped off the couch and exclaimed.
"What would that be?" Mr. Ootori asked.
"Why don't we have the boys all sing a song to her about the way they feel? She may just change her mind after knowing exactly how they feel and we get to hear their singing voices! Everyone wins!" Ranka rejoiced just thinking of it.
"Well I don't see what harm it could do. Why don't we let them?" Mrs. Hitachiin asked her husband.
"Well it's ok with me."
"This is perfect!" Tamaki exclaimed. "I can tell you how much I care about you!"
"This should be interesting." Kyoya mused.
"More like funny." Hikaru and Kaoru began to laugh.
"This is no joking matter you two. Kaoru, you should especially know how hard this has been for me." Haruhi looked unhappy. Then again she hadn't looked to happy all day.
"You know, I'm starting to think this whole thing happening was for the best." Mrs. Hitachiin thought out loud thinking nobody would pay attention anyway.
"Why's that?" Hikaru asked.
"Whether it be dramatic or not, you all changed and seem a lot happier these days."
"I already know what song I want to sing so may I go first?" Kaoru interrupted his mothers speech not really wanting to hear the rest because it would just damper his already gloomy day.
"You know where the karaoke machine is." Kyoya pointed to the corner of the living room.
"Right." Kaoru nodded.
Instead of walking over to the karaoke machine he began to blush. He did not know what song he was about to sing. He just wanted his mom to get quiet. There were so many songs that he knew would fit his love for Haruhi so well. Then at the same time didn't fit it at all. Was he supposed to pick a song about how he loved her or the situation his love has put him in when it comes to her? If it was the second one Invisible by Clay Aiken would work, but if it was the first one he didn't know what song to sing. He decided to ask Ranka which song he was supposed to sing.
"Mr. Fujioka, am I supposed to sing a song about my love for Haruhi or the situation my love has put me in when it comes towards her?" Kaoru asked not realizing what he had just said.
"Love?" Haruhi's eyes widened at that word.
"Just your love for her in general." Ranka then turned his attention towards his daughter. "What did I tell you Haruhi? All of them do. Did you not believe your father?" Ranka asked though it was pretty pointless because that one word kept repeating in her head. While she was doing that Kaoru was in a very awkward position so he started the music to a song.
"I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me."
There were many looks across the room. Everyone had an expression and all of them were unique. Kaoru was blushing madly, Hikaru looked kind of confused, Kyoya was smirking a little, Tamaki had his mouth open, Haruhi's eyes were really wide and she looked amazed, and all of the parents had on different kinds of smiles showing that they thought his song was cute. After standing there for a moment Kaoru moved off of the stage and took a seat next to his brother.
"I'm going next, ok?" Hikaru asked.
"That's fine son." Mr. Hitachiin gave approval.
"Haruhi, you may want to snap out of it. Hikaru is about to sing." Mrs. Ootori gently shook her arm.
"Yeah." Haruhi gently nodded.
"This one is for you Haruhi."
"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms."
"You love me too?" Haruhi was beyond confusion now.
"I think you already know the answer to that Haruhi." Hikaru answered.
"I do?" Haruhi asked herself more than him.
While all of this talking was happening, on the other side of the room was Tamaki and Kyoya. Tamaki was sitting in his chair with his knees hugged to him. He was rocking back and forth at a rapid pace and was sweating bullets. Kyoya mentally sighed and prepared to listen to his friend rant.
"Kyoya! I can't do this! I can't tell Haruhi that I love her in front of all these people! It wouldn't be special. I want her to find out at the perfect moment!"
"You finally realized you loved her? Took you long enough."
"What do I do?" Tamaki asked him in a rushed tone.
"You can either tell her now and have more of a possibility of marrying her or you can wait until your perfect moment and risk having her marry one of them."
"That I will not allow!" Tamaki declared to Kyoya before turning around and facing everyone else. "I will be going next! Haruhi, I'm about to tell you why I'm so protective."
"Well… ok." Haruhi looked a little uneasy.
"Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back
Like a wake-up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere..
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world...
Has twice as many stars in the sky
It's all right. I survived. I'm alive again.
'Cause of you, made it through every storm
What is life? What's the use?
If you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone...
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live.. I live
Because you live, there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've givin' me
Always...
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help when no one else can help
Because you live girl
My world
Has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself
When nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world
Has everything I need to survive
because you live... I live, I live."
"Who knew you of all people had such a voice?" Ranka was in awe.
"I sure didn't. He always told me that he couldn't sing very well so I let him take piano lessons instead of singing lessons after school." Mr. Suoh was also kind of shocked.
"You finally admitted you loved her?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked at the same time. "Since when did you figure that out? Not even a week ago you still referred to her as your daughter."
"Things changed… I guess." Tamaki said airily as soon as he stopped blushing and was able to speak.
"I believe it's my turn now." Kyoya said as he shut down his laptop.
"You don't have to Kyoya-sempai." Haruhi offered.
"Didn't I tell you to stop referring to me as sempai?" Kyoya slightly smirked.
"Yes, but-" Haruhi got cut off by music.
…Haruhi's pov…
"Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you...
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Hanging by a moment here with you
Hanging by a moment here with you."
"So, would you like to go on with choosing now?" Mr. Ootori asked when his son had finished singing.
"Yes, yes I would." I lied through my teeth. I did not want to go on with it. I wanted to lay back down on my bed and not ever have to make this decision. Why did my dad have to sign the contract?
"Haruhi, I hope you make the right choice." Ranka tried to support her.
"Thanks dad." I took a very big deep breath. "First of all, I want all four of you to know that I've had a lot more fun living in the house with all of you than I had first expected. We've had so much fun doing so many different things, but at the same time I know deep down we all just wanted it to end so we could go home. I would like to say I'd rather be a host for the rest of my life then have to choose between you four. Believe me, I've asked." This caused a small laugh from the twins. "Though since I cannot I've got to say, I have chosen to marry-" I cut myself off.
"Who have you chosen, dear?" Mrs. Hitachiin asked.
"Do I really have to do this? I don't like hurting them!" I desperately asked the parents. I had not seen my dad look so guilty in a long time.
"We already faxed the contract."
