Mori stood on the manicured lawn of Ouran High School. He was back for Haruhi and the twin's graduation ceremony. It was the first time he'd been back since he graduated. He'd been at university for three years and was nearly finished. He walked over to the refreshment table and picked up a glass of punch. He glanced around and saw the Host Club. His stoic expression lifted slightly as he looked at the group.
Tamaki had his arm around Haruhi's waist and was talking avidly with the twins. He hadn't changed much, his voice had merely deepened with age and was less apt to come up with mad cap schemes.
Haruhi was now obviously a woman. She had gotten no taller but she had grown up curvy like her mother. Her hair was long and waved slightly. She pushed it behind her ear as she smiled at the former Shadow King.
Kyoya stood next to a tall slender woman with flaming red hair and dark eyes. He'd finally achieved his goal of taking over the family dynasty and was now less likely to scheme to get his way. The woman next to him was his fiancée and it still surprised Mori how someone as awful as Kyoya could be could manage to snare someone as sweet as his fiancée.
The twins stood one next to the other as was still their habit. But they weren't as close as they once were. They'd gone to different universities and had managed to snare Haruhi's twin cousins as their arm candy. However, they still spoke in stereo and moved in sync with each other.
Honey was still short but he'd grown a little and shed his boyish looks. He was now the undefeated karate champion of his family and Japan. The government still refused to let him compete with the champions from other nations, but the short man didn't mind. He had other interests, which included the managing of his cake store.
He was on his way to join them when someone brushed against him. He looked down and saw a blonde waitress maneuvering her way through the crowd. She was tall and slender with her hair pulled up in a messy bun. Then he noticed the weight in his pocket didn't feel right. He reached into his pocket and frowned. His wallet was gone. He started after the waitress a frown on his face.
The woman headed for the maze. He followed, hoping he could remember how to get out. As he walked he saw something on the path ahead of him. He reached and bent over to pick it up. It was a high heeled platform shoe. He dropped it and continued walking. Soon he found its mate. After the second shoe he found the pair of black pants the woman had worn, then the white dress shirt, a name tag and finally a black wig.
He rounded a corner and found he'd walked straight into the middle of the maze. He looked around and saw someone move in the gazebo. He walked over and looked inside. There was no one there. He went in and sat down. He leaned back and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes widened and his mouth opened in an O.
Sakina hung by her knees from the ceiling. She let go and dropped to the ground. She flipped in mid-air and bowed to him. She looked up at him and frowned. "You never read the letter."
Her gaze was angry and laden with accusation. Mori looked away and Sakina glowered at him, before she turned away and crossed her arms. He studied her closely out of the corner of his eye. She wore a black cat suit, which he was sure wasn't the same as before. Her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail and hung to her mid back. When she turned to glare at him, Mori noted that she no longer had any trace of baby fat on her cheeks.
She pulled a phone out of her pocket and waved it in front of his face. "Do you see this?"
He nodded and she frowned. "Well I left you my phone number in that letter! I waited for you to call for six months. Then I got tired of waiting." She turned away and looked at the ground. "I only came back to ask you why you didn't read the letter."
She whirled on him and snarled. "And now I don't want to know!" She closed the gap between them and looked down at him. "I just wanted to tell you that, I'm the best thief in the world now. I've stolen from museum in the world, every private collection and every thief."
He looked hard at her. "Why?"
She shrugged. "I'm good at it." She looked away and stared out into the shrubbery. She looked back at him. "I think your club mates are in the bushes."
He glanced over and nodded. She sat beside him and looked up at the roof. Then she looked back at him. She gave a short laugh. "I stole everything. Paintings, sculptures, documents, even information and you know what I did with all of it?"
He looked at her curiously. She shut her eyes. "I gave it all back. Everything, and now I don't know what I am anymore." She smiled. "I'm not a thief anymore, that much is certain."
She got to her feet and looked down at him. "Can you tell me what I am?"
She looked down at him for a moment longer then began to turn away. Mori reached out and grabbed her arm. He pulled her back toward him and this time he was the one who initiated the kiss.
In the shrubbery nearby the former Hosts watched. Honey shook his head. "It was inevitable."
