A/N: Nothing is revised after this point (For those who have already read the story)
"Alright, now I need you to take a deep breath," a male doctor said with a soft voice.
With the stethoscope cold on her back Haruhi sucked in as much air as she could then she released it slowly.
"Everything seems to be ok," Dr. Saito said, "No broken bones, no concussion, no internal bleeding, and all your cuts and bruises are healing just fine."
"Thank you doctor," Yoshio said.
"You're welcome sir," then Dr. Saito walked out of the room.
"See I told you you were going to live," Yoshio joked.
"I knew I would live, but shooting me was not necessary," she glared at him.
"You were shot so there would be no questioning your death, people don't survive a bullet through the heart, but people do survive bad car accidents, we had to make sure Zetsumei corp. would not suspect you were alive."
"Why am I doing this for you again?"
"Because you are going to marry my son, you have already given birth to two healthy sons, and you are going to be a very successful lawyer who will not have to depend on my son's money."
"What about the girl you were going to make him marry?"
"I was originally going to have him be engaged to you, but that fool Koga threatened to tell the press that Kyoya raped his daughter, unless I agreed they be married. We could have proved it false but it would still leave a nasty scar on Kyoya and the family's reputation. I couldn't allow that to happen. I figured he would find some way out of it, since no one could make him do anything. But for some reason he was going through stacks of paper like a mad man repeating that he must find "the father". I didn't know what he was looking for. Then, a year later, when that bimbo fiancée of his finally broke the engagement, I went through his files and saw a picture of you."
"Then you came to America, tracked me down, found out I had two sons who looked oddly like your son and everything seemed to click except you didn't know why Kyoya was looking for the father when he was the father," Haruhi finished for him.
He nodded. "To think that my own son would get so drunk that he would forget what he did," Yoshio spat with disgust. "Lord knows how many other children he spawned."
"Stop it," Haruhi told him with anger in her voice, "You know that was the first time he got drunk, and it was because you made him become engaged to someone he didn't care about, if you had told him in the first place that you yourself didn't want him to go through with the marriage maybe he would have tried harder to end it."
"He never listens to me; he always goes against my will," now Yoshio was getting mad, "I figured that if he thought I really wanted him to marry that idiot he would break it off. What astounds me is that he really thought I would choose that kind of girl for him. He should know me better than that; I always looked for the perfect girl who would be a good companion for him."
"Maybe it's you who does not understand him. You are his father, he looks up to you and expected you to have a reason for the engagement you chose."
Yoshio though about it a second, and found no words to say. So he changed the subject, "When do I get to see my grandkids?"
Haruhi let the subject drop and answered Yoshio's question. "They should be here shortly with Alice."
"That's good; I haven't seen them in awhile."
~At Ootori mansion~
"Why are you taking them again?" Kyoya asked Alice as she made her way upstairs to the boys' room.
"I'm just taking them out for a bit at your father's request. He says you have to catch up on your work but you always end up playing with the boys. So he told me to take them out on a picnic."
"How does my father know you?"
"I'm Haruhi's friend and a family lawyer I had to talk to him as well about Haruhi's will."
"What could she possibly leave my father?"
"Confidential." Alice then walked into the room. "Hey do you guys want to go on a picnic with Aunt Alice?"
Two heads shot a look at the door at the same time. They both jumped up and hugged Alice. "Aunt Alice," they cried cheerfully.
"Alright, alright now put on some outdoor clothes."
The boys scampered to their closets while Alice and Kyoya, who was behind her, exited the room.
"I don't want you to take them," Kyoya said with a hint of jealousy that she would get to play with the boys outside while he had to stay inside and work.
"Too bad."
As soon as the boys stepped out of their room Alice scooped them up and took them to the car, leaving Kyoya behind.
Kyoya just stood there fuming for a moment before he went into his office to finish his work.
~In the car~
"So how do you boys like living with your father?" Alice asked them.
"It's fun," Akira said.
"But he has the maids do all the work," Ryuu added.
"I miss watching Mom cook."
"When can she come live with us again?"
"Very soon," Alice told them, "The court case is next week and as soon as it's over mommy can live with you guys again."
"Is Daddy going to live with us too?" Akira asked.
"Or are we going to go back to our other home?" Ryuu added sadly.
"I don't know," Alice told them truthfully. She hoped Kyoya would be able to forgive his father and Haruhi for putting him through this. "Did you guys tell your father that Mommy was still alive?"
Both of them shook their head no.
"Good Boys." Alice then pulled into the underground parking lot below the hospital and parked the car.
~At the Hospital~
Haruhi and Yoshio both heard a knock on the door. Yoshio went over and opened the door slightly so he could speak with the guard who had knocked on the door.
"What is it?" Yoshio asked.
"There is a Miss. Alice downstairs requesting to visit this room," the guard told Yoshio.
"Let her up," then he closed the door and turned to Haruhi, "It would seem the boys have arrived."
Three minutes later two boys bounded into the room and ran to hug their mother. Aunt Alice had warned them not to say their mother's name or let anyone hear that she was alive.
Haruhi squeezed her boys with joy. "How are you two doing?"
"Good," they both replied in a voice lower than they normally used.
"Now go give grandpa Ootori a hug, he hasn't been able to hold you two since you were babies," Haruhi urged.
Both boys obeyed their mother and walked over to their grandfather to give him a hug. They knew who he was because he sent them presents for Christmas and their birthdays, and even talked to them over the internet with a Webcam.
"You boys have grown so much," Yoshio said scooping them into his arms, "It's good to see you both."
While the grandfather and grandchildren talked, Alice walked over to Haruhi.
"What's with the extra security?" Alice asked, "Even when I showed them the badge Mr. Ootori gave me they still called up here to confirm."
"It's because the court day is drawing closer and Yoshio wants to make sure nothing happens to me."
"Are you sure this is such a good idea?"
"I'm sure. This Zetsumei Corporation has not just tried to take over Chokichi Yamaguchi's company. They have been in the black market for years stealing profits from many other companies as well. Did you bring the reports I asked for?"
"Yes they are right here." Alice handed Haruhi the reports.
Haruhi flipped to the back where she scribbled some notes. "You see here?" Haruhi pointed. "These are three names of people who owned large corporations who suddenly died, and the companies have been taken over by Zetsumei Corporation. Also in this file," Haruhi flipped to another document, "These companies profit do not match what they should have brought in because their goods are being stolen and sold in the black market."
"How do you know that Zetsumei Corporation is behind the black market stuff?"
"Because according to this chart," Haruhi handed Alice a line chart, "Their profit exceeds what is being sold, and I have eye witnesses that have seen trucks being high jacked by a bald man with a scythe tattooed on his head. Which is pretty stupid if you ask me."
"I'm confused, what does a bald guy with a scythe tattoo on his head have to do with this case?"
"You see this picture?" Haruhi showed Alice a picture of Mr. Zetsumei's driver, "Zetsumei's driver matches the exact pictures some police took of the high jacks when I had them stake patrol all of the roads in the city. And the scythe is Zetsumei's symbol that he had tattooed on all his private employees."
"Impressive, but how did you get the police to cooperate with you in the first place? When did you even find the time to do all this before the first court date?"
"I can handle a lot of things," and that was all Haruhi said.
Alice was still amazed at Haruhi's skill to multitask. She looked at the clock and it was getting close to three.
"I have to take the boys to the park now," Alice told Haruhi. "Kyoya will probably try to pick them up like the last time."
"Alright," Haruhi then called for the boys to give her a hug goodbye.
Soon Alice had the boys in the car and was on her way to the park.
"I thought you were going to keep that confidential?" Yoshio asked Haruhi.
"I was but if anything happens to me she will be able to win the case for you. She may be a family lawyer but she still had to take the same classes as me."
"Nothing will happen to you."
"I know, just a precaution."
~at the park~
The boys finished their lunch Alice had made for them and went to play with the other kids on the playground. Alice packed up everything and went to sit on a bench with a book in hand to read and keep an eye on the boys. She was relieved that Kyoya had not shown yet, she didn't want to be questioned about why the boys had not eaten yet.
An hour later a shadowed blocked her light from the sun. She looked up a found Kyoya standing over her.
"Where are they," he asked her obviously talking about the boys.
She pointed in the direction of the play ground, and went back to reading her book.
"I don't see them," Kyoya stated.
Alice looked up from her book and squinted in the bright light scanning the play ground for a set of twins. They were there when she last looked up two minutes ago, but now she could not find them. She looked toward the side of the play ground which was out of her line of sight unless she turned her head and saw them building a sand castle in the sandbox that for some reason was detached from the main playground. She pointed Kyoya in their direction and went to put the basket she packed the lunch in back into the car. She didn't put it in the car when she first packed it up because that would mean she couldn't keep an eye on the boys, but since Kyoya was now there she could also buy the ice cream she had promised the boys for being good at the hospital.
Kyoya walked up to the boys. "Having fun?" he asked them.
"Yeah," they both said.
"So did you guys do anything fun today?"
"We talked with Grandpa Ootori today?" Akira said.
"Really? I didn't know you two knew him," Kyoya said confused as to why his father came to visit them at the park but not at his home.
"Yeah, we used to talk to him on the … Ouch!" Ryuu jabbed Akira in the ribs to keep him from saying anymore.
"What do you mean you used to talk to him?"
A/N: It amazes me what pops into my brain. And Zetsumei Corporationis the bad corporation. Now that I made them seem really bad I know something bad has to happen to someone but I don't want to make the story sad. I will try to soften the blow of sadness a little.
