Sat in a waiting room was a dirty man slouched sleeping in one of the chairs. His long hair was greasy and scraped back into a band and his face was unshaven and dark smudged lines of eye liner could be seen.
"Ranka-san" a nurse gently woke him and smiled " Ranka-san you can go visit your daughter now". Ranka sprang up and ran to the door only to find another nurse quickly leap in front of him smiling nervously.
"Ahh she's been moved to room five just down the corridor". Ranka-san nodded and began to walk down the corridor completely oblivions to the nurses whispers. Ranka stood outside room five with one hand on the door handle. Though this door was Haruhi, the daughter he had complete abandoned due to his own selfishness. How could he face her? Her accusing sad eyes would stare at him and not only would she stare like that but so would his wife. What could he say to her? He took a deep breath and scrunching up his eyes he entered the room.
"Ahh, finally gathered up enough to open the door I see, how brave of you" said a sarcastic voice from behind him. Ranka turned in amazement to find a tall man sat on the sofa. Slowly the strange figure stood and from his pocked pulled out a pair of specials and placed them on his nose.
"Kyoya!" exclaimed Ranka in surprise.
"It was surprisingly easy to track you Ranka-san, not that I imagined it would'nt be. When I found out what you had done to Haruhi I only had to make a few phone calls to work out you were staying in Kanagawa with one of your old friends Jun Oishii"
Ranka looked at him gobsmacked, "you... you found... but how, why... why did you get in contact with me?"
Kyoya looked at him with an icy glare which made Ranka shiver.
"I contacted you because you had abandoned your daughter! Did you not care about her at all? She had to change apartments because she couldn't afford to live in her current one and had to get a job to fund herself. Your selfish actions have been seriously detrimental to her school work and her well being and you ask me why I rang you?!"
"I..well, I" Ranka began before he was cut off by Kyoya
"I am speaking Ranka, I have no interest in excuses so I suggest you sit"
Ranka quickly sat on the sofa looking up at Kyoya in nervous anticipation. Kyoya was pacing around the room before he sank into the opposite sofa. His air was hard and menacing but you could tell he was tired.
"You left Haruhi if I am correct in saying, because she reminded you too much of your wife, Haruhi's mother. I find this hard to understand so I would quite like an explanation if you will."
Ranka's head sunk into his hands and he had a look of a man completely defeated.
"I... you don't understand. I... I really loved her, that is my wife. The day she... she died I thought I could never be happy again. And then there was Haruhi, my little Haruhi a small child. I clung to her and gave her more affection than I think she wanted! But as she grew she became the spitting image of my... my wife. My dead wife. And then I couldn't see Haruhi I just saw her... only it wasn't her... I... it was killing me. I was so confused I didn't know what to do! I panicked, I..."
"So you ran" Kyoya looked at him with anger in his eyes. How dare this man act so pitifully when he had hurt his Haruhi.
"Your wife was a lawyer and from what my research tells a first-rate one. She was an inelegant and beautiful woman and yet when Haruhi became an inelegant beautiful woman you turn against her. If you truly appreciated your wife you would have been overjoyed when you saw Haruhi blossom as she did. Like mother like daughter wouldn't you say."
Ranka stared at him eyes wide in horror. "I.. I had never thought about it like that before"
Kyoya laughed bitterly before standing up and sliding his glasses back up his nose. "Well you should have done, and now Mr. Fujioka you have completely neglected the person in which your wife lives on in."
At that Kyoya walked to the door and opened it wide. "One last thing, . Whether Haruhi will live with you again is up to her, but do remember I will always be looking after her. Always. And if I see your hurt her like you have or I get an inkling she is upset or does not wish to live with you I will intervene. I, am in love with your daughter and I intend to do everything in my power to make sure people like you never harm her again. I hope I made myself clear. There's a wash room though there, make yourself presentable I don't want you worrying Haruhi."
And with that Kyoya stepped out of the room leaving Ranka speechless in the dark room.
--xx--
Haruhi heard a knocking on her door and it took her a few seconds to remember what had happened before she fell asleep
"Excuse me but there's a man here to see you, I told him to come back tomorrow during visiting times. His name is Ranka-san and he says he's your father"
Haruhi felt her heart quicken until it became painful and her stomach turn as she watched the door handle slowly turn. What would she say? What would he do? She felt her lips go horribly dry and felt them stick to gather as she used all her remaining courage to not dive under the covers. She sighed with relief however when she saw Kyoya enter the room smiling weakly at her.
"Haruhi I'm glad to see your up and well, how do you feel?" He walked towards her and sat on her chair beside her bed.
"Kyoya, my dad he's here Kyoya, i don't know.." She was cut off however by Kyoya taking hold of her hand and gently squeezing it.
"I know Haruhi it was I who contacted him" He ignored her shocked look and carried on "You can choice if you wish to see him or not, no one will think any less of you if you choice not to. If you do however decide to see him", Kyoya sneered, "I will stay with you ok."
Haruhi smiled and before Kyoya could react she pecked him gently on the cheek causing him to colour ever so slightly. Haruhi giggled quietly but decided to ignore this to save his pride. Slowly Haruhi nodded at Kyoya who gave her a small nod in return and opened his phone to dial.
"Yes nurse, you can let him in now"...
