DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

When Haruhi woke up the next morning she saw that her daughter was sandwich in-between her and Hikaru both still fast asleep. Haruhi gently stroke her daughter's long brown hair.

'I'll never let someone take you away from me! I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe,' she thought. She was soon interrupted by the sound of a door knocking. Haruhi carefully slipped away from her daughter and walked to the door.

"Yes?" she said opening it to see Daichi.

"Hate to disturb you Madam but the detectives investigating your case are here wanting to talk to you," he said bowing his head in respect.

"Oh okay thank you," said Haruhi, "Do they need to see both of us?" She looked over at Hikaru who was still sound asleep next to Asami.

"I don't think so, just you," said Daichi, "But if they do I can come back and get him."

"Okay," said Haruhi as she put on her bathrobe and followed Daichi downstairs.

The two detectives were sitting waiting patiently.

"Hello Mrs. Hitachiin, how are you doing today?" asked Kotoko.

"Okay I guess," said Haruhi, "You wanted to speak to me?"

"Yeah, have a seat," said her partner, "Is your husband around?"

"He's still upstairs with our daughter asleep," said Haruhi, "Did you want to talk to him too?"

"We may have to," said Kotoko, "We really need him to buckle down to really think who would want to attack you. Mostly since the more we look into this crime we can't help but think this is really a personal attack on you and your family." Haruhi sighed as she sat down on her couch upset. "Can you honestly think of no one that would want to hurt you or your husband badly enough?"

"I honestly can't help think of anyone off the top of my head other then Akane Settou. But she has an alibi, a very good one. I can't think of anyone from my work that would want to hurt me. I'm mostly working on helping a client work out issues in selling his product to a manufacture. I can't think of anyone wanting to hurt me over that. And I can't think of anyone at my work mad at me enough to want to hurt me," said Haruhi.

"Can you think of anyone else wanting to hurt you from you husband's work?" asked Kotoko.

"No, not that I can think of, But then again I don't know everything that happens in his line of work," said Haruhi.


"Hello?" Kaoru called out walking into his brother's house, "Anyone up yet?"

"Oh good morning Master Kaoru," said Daichi, "What brings you by so early?"

"I thought I saw a cop car outside," said Kaoru, "Is everything okay?"

"The detectives are here to talk to Miss Haruhi about the attack," said Daichi, "Your brother and niece are both upstairs still asleep."

"Oh I see," said Kaoru. He walked over to the sitting area where Haruhi and the detectives were sitting.

"Oh Mr. Hitachiin you're awake good," said Detective Deka.

"Oh no that's not my husband that's his brother Kaoru," said Haruhi.

"Oh sorry," said Detective Deka.

"That's alright. It happens," said Kaoru. He walked over and sat next to Haruhi and took her hand.

"How do you tell the two of them apart?" asked Deka.

"Haruhi just has her ways," said Kaoru.

"Well we're glad you're here Mr. Hitachiin. Maybe you can help tell us if there's anyone you can think of that would really want to hurt your sister-in-law?" asked Kotoko. Kaoru thought long and hard about it.

"I'd say Akane Settou is one, but she had an alibi for the attack," he said, "Let's see. Well I'd have to see if I can find some models we fired or didn't give a certain dress to model that may want to hurt Haruhi."

"Did your brother have any ex-girlfriends that may want to get back at him?" asked Kotoko.

"No, I'm the only one he's been with since high school," said Haruhi. She looked at Kaoru, "Right?"

"Yeah, there was no one before Haruhi," said Kaoru.

"What about you?" asked Kotoko, "Could someone had mistaken your brother for you and want to get revenge on Haruhi because of it?"

"No, I've never had too serious of a relationship that would provoke something like what happened to her. Not that I know of anyway," said Kaoru, "And besides I think it's been well established that Hikaru was the one that got married to her."

"Very well," said Kotoko, "What about your father? What does he do?"

"He's a C.E.O of a software company. But I can't think of anyone wanting to come after him recently. Nothing too big had happened with his business lately," said Kaoru.

"What about your father Mrs. Hitachiin?" asked Kotoko.

"Well my dad isn't super rich man like my in-laws. He owns a new bar that Hikaru help buy for him after we got married," said Haruhi.

"What kind of bar?" asked Kotoko.

"A transvestite bar," said Haruhi, "He's a transvestite himself."

"Could that be a reason someone wanted to come after you?" asked Kotoko, "They didn't approve of your father?"

"Well he's been like this since I was a kid and no one's ever tried doing something like this to me before," said Haruhi.

"What about now with you living in high society and what not?" asked Kotoko.

"Well I've been married for over three years and no one really said anything to me before about that," said Haruhi.

"Hmm," said Kotoko, "Alright, we'll be back if or when we need to ask you some more questions."

"Okay," said Haruhi, "Thank you."

"Excuse me Detectives?" said Kaoru as he walked after the two of them.

"Yes?" asked Kotoko.

"I'm sorry but I'm still can't help but think that a lot of what's been happing sort of points towards Akane Settou," said Kaoru.

"That's real nice Mr. Hitachiin," said Kotoko, "But most of the evidence doesn't point to her."

"Well don't you find it suspicious that she tried to kill them at that fashion show and then suddenly all of this starts happening? The shooting at the park and the personal attack on Haruhi?" asked Kaoru.

"Yes Mr. Hitachiin we do," said Kotoko, "That's why we're still looking into her."

"Could she have maybe hired someone to do all of that?" asked Kaoru.

"There is a possibility," said Kotoko, "But why don't you leave the detective work to us?"

"Sure," said Kaoru. "By the way you don't happen to date people you're investigating?"

"I'm sorry?" asked Kotoko.

"Well um," said Kaoru, "You know what never mind forget I said anything."

"Well hang on a second," said Kotoko, "I didn't say no exactly."

"She is single," said Deka. Kotoko smacked him.

"Well you are," said Deka, "And as I recall not doing anything on Friday."

Kotoko sighed.

"Come on go for it," said Deka, "You haven't dated for long."

"Alright, did you want to do something Friday night?" asked Kotoko.

"Well if you want, we can have dinner over at my place," said Kaoru pointing to his own mansion across the way. That way if you want we can also look into any other possibilities as to how's attacking everyone."

"Sure, sounds like a date," said Kotoko as she got into her car with her partner.

"What is your problem!" she shouted at him.

"What he's cute and he sound's like a nice guy. You know how hard those are to find?" asked Deka, "Face it; I'm taken thanks to Yuu."

"Fine whatever," said Kotoko.


Yuzuha sat at her desk still lost in thought about what had happen recently.

"Mrs. Hitachiin?" she suddenly heard Akane ask walking into her office.

"Oh hello Akane, What brings you by?" asked Yuzuha.

"I was just curious if they found anything on your daughter-in-law's attack," said Akane.

"No nothing, listen I'm sorry about what happen with Hikaru at the hospital, said Yuzuha.

"Oh it's okay no big deal," said Akane, "Lucky for me I had Kaoru to help defend me. He's so sweet isn't he?"

"Yes," said Yuzuha.

"You don't know if he's seeing anyone at all do you?" asked Akane.

"Why?" asked Yuzuha.

"Well uh I can't help but think I should thank him for saving me from his brother," said Akane.

"Akane Settou what are you playing at exactly?" asked Yuzuha smirking.

"Well," said Akane tilting her head to the side innocently.

Well," said Yuzuha. She remembered how she and her old friend often pondered the notion of their kids getting together, "I don't think he's seeing anyone and I don't think he's doing anything this Friday. Maybe you could fix that, here." She handed her a slip of paper.

"What's this?" asked Akane.

"The security code to the gates of my sons' houses," said Yuzuha, "I think Kaoru could do with some company this Friday."

"Oh sure," said Akane walking out of the office winking at Yuzuha as she did so.

Akane quickly drove down to Wattan's apartment.


"I hope you have a good reason for coming here," said Wattan.

"I sure do," said Akane. She handed her the slip with the code. "I have a great idea for this though. I'm going to be at the single brother's house on Friday night. What if we went and got rid of the other brother's family that very night?"

"That could work," said Wattan, "Then after they're all dead oh looks who's there to look after him."

"Exactly, it'll make it easier to convince everyone we're serious and would want me to have his precious little niece once he's gone," said Akane.

"Well this is going to be great. Come Friday night, we're going to be one step closer to finally getting rid of the Hitachiin once and for all!" said Wattan.

Aina listen from her room, scared about what it was her aunt and woman were saying. Especially if they were going to kill her apparent father. Would this mean she wouldn't even be able to see him now that she knew who he was?
