Haru was mad. Beyond mad, she was pissed. And scared. The Zuka Club had kidnapped her brother.
"DAD! I'm calling Kyo-chan!"
"I'm coming with you."
"Hello?" asked a voice on the other end.
"Kyouya, Haruhi-"
"I'm on my way."
"It's the Zuka Club."
"I'll dig up something on them." Kyouya ended the call.
Now Haru had to tell Harry. He took it well all things considered. His jaw clenched and his eyes turned steely.
"Where," he gritted out.
"What about Teddy? He's coming to visit today."
"Ranka; can you watch out for him instead?" Ranka nodded slowly.
"Find him Harry. Bring him home." Harry nodded curtly.
"Kyo-chan's coming. What are we going to do?"
Harry took her shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"Mind link him, love. He's probably panicking." Haru nodded and searched for her brother through her mind. There!
'Haruhi, where are you?'
'Lobelia. Hurry, I can't keep us back much longer.'
'We're on the way. Haruhi I think we...we need to call him.'
'...If you think it's a good idea. Just don't leave me here,' he pleaded.
'We're coming now.'
As soon as Kyouya arrived, they left. As the rode in the Ootori limousine, Haru started on her cousin's phone.
~Moony~
~What's wrong Moonbeam?~
~Some people called the Zuka Club decided to take Nightshade for a spin. We thought we might need help. Both of us found our mates so that should be a good enough excuse to come see us.~
~Give me the coordinates. I'll be there in five.~
"Moony's on his way."
"I know. Even if we had left him alone, once he heard Haruhi finally found his mate, he would have come."
"You miss him."
"Yes. He's the last link to my parents and Sirius. He's my other godfather."
"I know."
When they got to Lobelia they waited to hear the tell tale sound of apparation until they went in. Not waiting for the others, Haru followed her nose until she found her brother, Harry close behind her. When they found him, he was surrounded by the Zuka club, staring at the wall with vacant eyes.
"Shit,"Harry said as Haru growled from deep within her chest.
"What have you done to my brother!?"
"We have only perfected the lovely lady. Why would you believe we would ever let such a alady stay in the hospitality of men like you.?"
"Shit," a new voice said behind the group. Turning, Kyouya saw a tall man who was just barely shorter than Taka. His hair was graying. Next to him was another man with black hair with the occasional white speckled throughout it. His glassed gave him a wise look and his round face made him trustworthy.
"That's what I said," Harry commented dryly. "Now that his Alpha's here, we can do something."
The first man stepped forward. The girls began to protest, but the aura around the man was strong and menacing. They parted before him and he walked to Haruhi. When the boy began to growl, the man bared his teeth, challengingly. The growls stopped, but he did not back down. A low, possessive growl filled the air and Haruhi quickly backed down and whimpered.
The man came toward Haruhi, who offered his neck. The man shook his head and held his hand out. The boy took it then flipped it so his wrist was bared. The man brought the wrist up to his mouth and sunk his teeth into it. Haruhi didn't wince, but his eyes became clearer. Blood dropped to the floor.
Kyouya moved toward Haruhi, but the other unknown man put a hand on his shoulder. Haru took her cousin's hand and shook her head. After a few more seconds, the man pulled away and licked the bite, watching as it faded away before his eyes. The boy nodded, then turned to his brother in all but blood.
"Harry-"
"Yeah, I know." He pulled out his holly wand and waved it at the Zuka Club. "You've never met Haru or Haruhi and you have no idea who the Host club is. You will keep away from Ouran." Harry then walked out of the room and Haru pulled Kyouya after them. The strange man picked up Haruhi and met the other man at the door as they walked back to the car.
The ride back to the apartment was quiet. The man with black hair was asking Haruhi medical questions and how he was feeling, if he was short of too much blood.
"I'm fine Bruce," was all Haruhi would say until they reached their home.
As they entered the apartment, they could all hear a clatter in the kitchen.
"Tony!" Haruhi yelled, coming to life as his eyes sparked with anger. "You have ten seconds'till I come in and rip you to pieces. No one will ever be able to find the all of you. Dad would prefer you whole and unharmed, but I'm willing to make exceptions." There was another crash and cursing that came from the kitchen. Haruhi growled and lunged into the kitchen.
He returned shortly dragging an embarrassed Ranka by the wrist and the alleged Tony by the ear.
"If you two are so horny, go get a hotel room! It's not like Tony can't afford it. Go!" The two left after hurried goodbyes.
When they were gone, Haruhi truned to the men. Why are you here exactly?"
"I called him ni-chan. He would have come soon anyway," Haru said. Haruhi took a deep breath.
"Kyouya this is Lupin Remus and Banner Bruce. Guys, my cousin; Kyouya."
Kyouya knew the story behind Lupin so he didn't particularly like the man, but he could be polite.
"So, this is the man who left his own cubs behind." Ok, maybe not.
Lupin looked chastised, but Banner spoke up. "He didn't know he had cubs until five years ago. By then they were out of the program and adopted. When he introduced himself, his wolf took over. When he woke up, his cubs were covered in blood. I came to get him, He didn't want to face what he'd done to his own children, so he left but kept in contact."
Haruhi snarled. "Is that why you left? You...you don't remember. Do you?" It was said in a statement, but Lupin answered anyway.
"No. I remember meeting you and I remember waking up. Heh, I guess I thought I had attacked you, so I left. Looking back, I was covered in as much blood of my own as in yours. What really happened?" Haruhi looked away, but Haru answered.
"We had always found the full moon hard, if we had continued like that we would have gained lycanthropy as our inheritance. You came and talked with us. You agreed to get to know us at a slight distance.
"The door got broken down and you automatically gave in to Moony and protected us, but he knocked you out. He took Haruhi and would have drained him if I hadn't thrown the old British silverware at him. He grabbed me and bit me. Dad came in and shot him with a silver tipped arrow.
"That's why Haruhi has it harder close to the full moon than I do. All that was left was that poison in his blood...what was left of it."
"What was his name?" Lupin asked, face pale. The twins lloked at each other and comunicated silently. When they reached an agreement, Haruhi looked Lupin in the eyes.
" You won't like it, Remus."
" I don't like it already."
" He's the same man that orphaned Teddy. The same man that turned you. "
"Fenrir," Remus breathed. The twins nodded.
"How could you to stand to look at me that year? Your third year of Hogwarts. How could you stand to see me, knowing I failed to protect you twice?"
They jumped on him. "Because, you're our father, we knew you would protect us as much as you could Alfa," they said.
Remus half chuckled that turned into a sob. The three of them embraced and cried together. Bruce came up behind Remus and put a hand on his shoulder. Kyouya did the same to the twins, putting a hand on each of their shoulders. Harry just stood back with a soft smile on his face.
"Stay tonight, Remus," Haruhi asked in a whisper, eyes averted from everyone in the room.
"I'll stay as long as you want me to." Haru he gave a weary chuckle.
"That's what my mate said when we told her about my meeting Harry again."
Remus chuckled too. "As long as my cubs want to me, I'll stay."
"We'll stay ," Bruce cut in.
The next day at school everyone wondered why Kyouya had disappeared so suddenly. The three living in the Fujioka apartment had taken the week off for a business trip, supposedly.
So, when the three returned, they were attacked with questions.
"Where did you go?"
"What was the weather like?"
"Did you stay at the beach? "
Who did you do business with?"
Most weren't even finished asking when the bell rang for the first. Physics. They had a new teacher who was originally from America, but had been recently located to a town near Brazil.
" I am Banner-sensei."
After classes the twins met up to go to the Host Club. As they entered, they saw Tony Stark sitting at a table, drinking coffee and Thor with a tankard of mead. They closed the door behind them and slunk behind the war. Haruhi took the tankard and took a gulp of it before giving it back. Thor just shook his head with a grin, and passed it to Haru for her to take some. She smiled at him and took a gulp before handing it back.
"Mm. I've always loved Asguardian me," Harusaid. Tony tensed, knowing who was behind him.
"Heeey guys ," he said, turning to face them. "About last night-"
"Just stay out of my kitchen," Haruhi said, slightly annoyed.
"Yes, sir." Tony saluted him and Haruhi rolled his eyes.
"So what are you guys doing here?" Haru asked. Before anyone could answer, Tamaki came dancing over.
"Haruhi! Daddy missed you!" He caught the boy up into his arms and flung him in circles. After about three circles, Tony tore Haruhi from the blonde boy. The momentum of Haruhi was so great that he didn't stop, but continued toward the wall at full speed. He straightened his legs and didn't panic. When he collided with the wall, he bent his knees and did a front flip off the wall to land in a crouch on the ground. He rose calmly and walked back to the group.
"I see you have not lost your fighters touch, son of a Nyx," Thor said in his rumbling voice.
"If anyone can claim to be his daddy, it's me," Tony whined.
"Thank you, Thor. And when pigs fly, Tony."
"How come you're so familiar with the chaperones," Tamaqui exclaimed.
"I've known them for three years. And why the hell would they make Tony-bloody-fucking-Stark a chaperone? Thor, maybe. But Tony?"
"I did what I always do," Tony said, offended.
"Shove money at everyone?"
". . ."
"That's what I thought." Tony threw himself at Haruhi, who dodged and whipped a string at his backside. Tony yelped and everyone's attention turned to them. They were at a stand off.
"I'll ref with Thor," Haru yelled, excited, waving her hand in the air.
The two circled each other. The girls started fan-girling about who would win and placed bets with Kyouya, who didn't look worried in the least.
Both opponents appeared empty handed. Tony reached to Haru who gave him his two double edged 2 1/2 feet scimitars
Haruhi flexed his arms and caught the 6 inch knives not arrested in his sleeves.
They squared off and waited for Thors go ahead.
"Asguardian rules. Use anything you have on your person and in your immediate surroundings. The winner gets to hold my hammer for three minutes. Loser gets a punishment of the winners choosing. Begin!"
They immediately started sparring, exchanging blows. Haruhi even invaded every blow from Tony by dodging and sending another blow at his undefended side.
The doors burst open and a boy exclaimed, "Honinozuka Mitskuni! I challenge you to a duel!"
"Not right now Yasuchika," Hani responded, annoyed.
"Oi!" Harry yelled. "We're in the middle of a betting war here! Watch quietly go away!"
Yasuchika blinked, then saw the pair who had stepped back when they had been interrupted. The boy nodded and sat to watch.
The sparring pair looked to Thor. He watched them then said, "Continue."
After 20 minutes of useless battering, Haruhi chucked a nice at Tony, who ducked. When he looked up again, Haruhi had a lethal looking string.
In the end, Haruhi won by wrapping the string around Tony's neck and putting the handle of his remaining knife to hover over his arc reactor, ready to smash it.
"I give," Tony said, panting.
"Good. I'd hate to have to kill you to win."
"Yeah, yeah. That's what you say every time," Tony brushed it off.
"Dad would cry too much if you died. He wouldn't care if I did it or not." Tony nodded, then ruffled the boys hair. "Ha! I win the pot!" Harry explained across the room.
Haru grumbled about gambling and bad habits, but her eyes were proud and laughing.
"Wow, Haruhi-chan! You really know how to fight, " Hani said, jumping into Haruhi's arms.
"Only out of necessity." Hani nodded solemnly, conceding Haruhi's point.
"I know ni-chan." Haurhi smiled at the boy in his arms.
"Arigato Hani-sempai."
"Mitskuni-chan. You are my cousin now you know."
How he did blushed and Taka invented a new shade of red.
"Hai, Mits-chan," he smiled.
"Oh! Haruhi-chan! This is my younger brother, Yasuchika. He doesn't like me very much. He thinks I give into selfish ways too much," Hani said, downcast.
"It's okay to be selfish once and a while, but if you feel uncomfortable living one way just for honor and family titles, then you will never be happy. If you don't live for yourself, then you will never be your self, but what other people make you," Haruhi told him. "Harry knows all about that. He hinted on it when he told you his story-but you should ask him specifically about it." Hani nodded and walked out over to Harry to ask.
Yasuchika watched his brother before walking over to his cousin and the boy who had been talking to his brother. Before he could say anything Haruhi faced him, asessingly.
"You know, if you want his attention, you could talk to him instead of charging at him."
The boy looked at him. "It's the only thing he'll do with me."
"It's not. He just feels you are condescending of him because of his love for cute things; that you see them as dishonorable. Talk with him instead of challenging him and you both will be fine."
The boy thanked him and left so he could ponder what he had been told.
Taka was about to speak when Tony popped up beside them. "So, Haruhi. How's about dinner at your house?"
"Stay out of my kitchen Iron Freak," he growled dangerously, I narrowing. Haruhi stiffened and cast his eyes towards Harry, hoping he had not heard his comment. He hadn't, so Haruhi continued glaring at Tony.
Taka wondered at this, but said nothing. "Besides you owe me something so go away, Tony."
"No. I don't want to ."
" Thor," Haruhi whined. The big man chuckled and handed Haruhi his tankered and continued to drag the other man to his seat.
Haruhi brightened considerably and it guzzled the contents of the drink handed to him.
"Taka-shi, you have to try this! It's from out of this world!" Haru chuckled at her brothers pun, Thor chuckled, and Tony guffawed.
Taka took the mug and sipped it. She loved it as soon as it hit her tongue. Haru took it from her, took another drink and gave it back to its owner.
"Haruhi, thank you," Taka said.
"For what?"
Taka put her hand on the boy's cheek. "For helping my cousins. No one ever wanted to help them, just to make them stop fighting. Thank you for caring." She leaned in and brushed her lips against her mate's. Haruhi smiled and pulled away to kiss her nose.
"You'd have to have a heart of concrete reinforced with steel in order not to love those two. Even Kyouya can't say no to Mitskuni ."
"Haruhi, come on! You're supposed to be a Host, not chit-chatting around," Tony yelled at him. He rolled his eyes, kissed Taka's cheek, then they both went about entertaining the girls in the club.
