They looked at apartment after apartment and many small houses as well but none seemed to have all of the things that both Haruhi and Kyouya were looking for. The twins, of course, made their opinions known about each place too but for the most part, they were ignored.
"There's one more house on my list to look at, then we'll have to call it a day if we want to get ready for dinner tonight" Kyouya told her, and inadvertently the twins as well.
"Hai" Haruhi answered, tiredly. She was exhausted and ready to sleep but she still had a long evening ahead."Haruhi, did you call and invite Tono?" Hikaru called to her.
"Oh, no I didn't. Go ahead and call him" she called over her shoulder, as the car pulled into the final house's location.
Hikaru and Kaoru were on the phone with Tamaki so Kyouya and Haruhi got out to go investigate the new house. "It looks nice" Haruhi commented. It was small but it had a front yard for Akio to play in and even a tree that would be nice to sit under and read.
"It does, but so did a lot of the others" Kyouya replied and continued walking to the house, with Haruhi following behind. He opened the door and ushered her in.
They looked at the kitchen, the living room and the bedrooms. All seemed perfect. It was a three bedroom house with two small bathrooms. The living room was decent and the kitchen was big enough. Above all the price was good. She could easily afford it on the salary she would be making. Yes, she was going to take the job, though she hadn't told Kyouya yet, it was only a matter of time. She knew once the Host Club got there minds set, it was hard to do anything else so she decided, for once, not to fight.
"I like it, Kyouya. Call and accept" Haruhi said coming up behind Kyouya in one of the bedrooms.
"It is rather cozy. I suppose it will do." Kyouya answered turning to face her and smile. "Akio will like it here." Haruhi said smiling back. Kyouya made the phone call and then arranged to meet the owner the following day for the keys. They walked back to the car, only to hear yelling."Leave it alone, you're going to scare her off!"
"I need to know!""What good will it do you, huh?""I just want to know who it was, that's all.""Don't make her angry, she agreed to stay, don't' make her change her mind""Fine…. But I'm going to find out""Ahem" Kyouya cleared his throat to show they were there."Oh, Kyouya Senpai, didn't see you there" Kaoru chuckled nervously
"Tono's coming to dinner, Haruhi" Hikaru called out.
"Hai" Haruhi answered, trying to figure out what the fight was all about but not wanting to be rude and ask.
"Shall we go then?" Kyouya asked, leading Haruhi the rest of the way to the car. They got in and headed to a restaurant that Kyouya knew, to pick up food for their dinner.
The twins were surprisingly quiet the whole car ride and kept their distance from everyone, including each other.
Finally, they had gotten the food and were at the hospital. Haruhi was glad, the silence had been really getting to her. Even though it had only been a couple of days, she was getting used to the twins, and Tamaki again and it was just plan weird for them to be quiet for so long.
Tamaki was waiting for them when the got to Honey's room but he was not smiling.
"Hey Tamaki" Haruhi called getting his attention.
He turned to look at them and grimaced a little but still said nothing."Is something wrong, Tamaki?" Kyouya asked, concerned.
"Honey senpai" Tamaki got out."What's wrong with Honey?" Haruhi asked, immediately worried. When Tamaki still said nothing, Haruhi slapped him "Snap out of it and tell us what's wrong"
"He's in surgery. Something about internal bleeding" Tamaki finally told them, looking surprised that Haruhi had hit him."How could they not have caught that earlier?" Kyouya asked, rushing away from them to get more information."Where's Takashi?" Haruhi asked.
"Still in Honey's room. He's just sitting there." Haruhi nodded and told them to stay out here and eat, she was going to go talk to Takashi. The fact that they easily agreed showed how serious the situation was.
Inside, Haruhi found Mori sitting by the window staring out, looking lost. "Takashi?" Haruhi called.
He didn't turn around or acknowledge she was there at all so she walked over and sat down beside him. "Takashi, you couldn't have known anything was wrong with Honey. He seemed like he was fine to all of us." Haruhi told him gently, putting her hand over his. He didn't move his hand away but he also didn't look at her. "If I had done what I was suppose to, he wouldn't be in here at all"
Haruhi knew she wasn't going to be able to make him see it wasn't his fault so she just said, "If you want to talk I'm here to listen"
"Thank you" Takashi responded and then they fell into silence. They sat there for about forty-five minutes just staring out the window, holding hands and taking comfort in the silence. It surprised them both when the door opened. "Takashi Morinozuka?" The doctor asked, looking at his chart."Ah" Mori replied, immediately giving the doctor his full attention.
"Mitsukuni is going to make it through just fine. We caught the bleeding in time and all looks well now. All that's left is for him to rest and heal. That and time will let us know if he will walk again."Mori shoulders sagged a little, in relief and he nodded at the doctor his thanks.
"When can we see him?" Haruhi asked
"He'll be back in here shortly. We're running a couple more tests and then the nurses will bring him back." He answered, after checking his charts
"Thank you" Haruhi replied and the doctor nodded at her then turned to leave, only to come face to face with a very angry Kyouya Ootori.
"Are you the doctor who has been taking care of Mitsukuni Haninozuka?" Kyouya asked, his tone deathly calm.
"Yes sir" The doctor answered looking afraid.
"Would you come with me please? We need to talk" Kyouya asked the, now white faced, doctor. The doctor only nodded and followed Kyouya out.
Once they were out of the room, Haruhi looked at Mori and smiled, when he gave her a tentative smile back she wrapped her arms around him in a hug, surprising him. He hesitantly hugged her back and that's when the twins and Tamaki choose to come in.
Obviously having heard the news that Honey would be ok, the twins smiled devilishly at the two, as they pulled apart to look at their friends. "So this is why Haruhi was so eager to keep us all in the hallway"Hikaru laughed
"She wanted to put the moves on Takashi" Kaoru joked back, laughing as well but not looking at the pair who were now both red.
"You two are ridiculous" Haruhi told them, rolling her eyes at the laughing twins and then turning her attention to Tamaki, who hadn't said a word since they had come in. "Do you have anything else to add, Tamaki?"
He shook his head, "No, I'm just glad Honey's alright" Haruhi thought he looked a little sad but decided to let it go for now. She turned to Takashi and opened her mouth to tell him to go get his food from the twins but Kyouya chose then to walk back into the room."Got any medical experience, Haruhi? A head doctor's position just opened up" He joked as he shut the door, smirking at her.
"You fired him?" Haruhi asked in disbelief.
"Of course I did. His mistake nearly cost Honey his life. I do not need that kind of doctor on the staff" Kyouya replied with a wave of his hand as he took the bag with the rest of the food in it, from the twins and going to sit on the couch. "Mori\, have you eaten yet?" Kyouya asked holding out Mori's food
Mori shook his head and went to grab his food from Kyouya when Haruhi's phone rang. She looked at the caller id and answered "Hi dad"
"Where are you?" Ranka asked, sounding worried.
"I'm at the hospital, Honey had some medical complications" Haruhi answered, glad that her dad hadn't freaked out because she wasn't home to answer.
"Is he alright?""He's fine, dad. How are you? How's Akio?" Haruhi asked him, sounding as if she hadn't just talked to them the day before.
"He's fine, he's sleeping. I think I wore him out shopping today. We're going to go to the amusement park tomorrow. I'm so excited, I wish you could be here with us.""Me too. I do have some news for you though. A big surprise for you." Haruhi told him, smiling because she knew he'd be happy.
"What is it? What is it?" He asked, sounding very much like his grandson."How would you like to see Akio and I more often?" Haruhi asked
"You know I always love seeing you two. Why? Are you moving in with me again? Oh that will be a lot of fun!" Ranka started going on about what they would do when they all lived together but Haruhi interrupted him.
"Dad, we're not moving in with you." "Oh….Then how will I see you more often?" Rank asked sounding disappointed and confused.
"We're moving into a house here and I'm going to work at the Ootori hospital" Haruhi told him, smiling even more as he started going on and on about how happy he was.
"Don't tell Akio, Dad. I'll tell him when you get back, it'll be his surprise from me." Haruhi said to her father, after he agreed they said their goodbyes and got off the phone. Everyone was done eating when Honey was rolled back into the room. He was still asleep and it looked as if he would be for a while.
"I think it would be better if we left Honey to rest." Kyouya announced, standing up soon after Honey had been settled into his bed."Right," Haruhi agreed and started showing the twins out the door, along with the still unusually quiet, Tamaki. After everyone was out of the room but her, Kyouya and Mori, she told Mori goodnight and went and kissed Honey on the cheek, tucking the blanket around him some more before turning to Kyouya. "Are you ready?""Waiting on you" He answered with a sigh. She rolled her eyes, said bye to Mori once more and then headed to the door, followed by Kyouya.
And there you have it. After this chapter I'm skipping ahead a few days to Ranka and Akio coming back so they will be in the next chapter. Just so you have a hint about who Kyouya's competition is, I will just say that two other hosts like her but only one is going to possibly be trying to be with her. Who will that be? What will Akio think of moving? What will he think of the Host club? How will Haruhi like her new job and house? How will she take to the hosts being around all of the time again? Find out that and more in the upcoming chapters. Thank you for reading. Bye!
