Mori had remained silent the entire time back to the Host Club. He understood completely how the girl felt about her sister, but he also understood it was slightly different. Mitsukuni could take care of himself. Mori was with him mainly for companionship, and blood-loyalty, not to mention he thought of the smaller boy as a son. But in Kairi's case, her sister was her younger sister, and the child did need her, and it was obvious neither of her parents approved, and thus, they seemed to reject her.
Hikaru was seething in anger, shouting out curses to the high heavens, insulting anybody who even looked at him, and even shoved Kaoru away from him. Tamaki was going through similar emotions, but was instead sulking, trying not to cry over the situation. Kyouya was silently trying to work things out in his head…
Who exactly was this girl? What was her relationship to her parents? What was going on in that head of hers? On her laptop? Why did she read what she did –he had peeked at her library records and they were surprising to say the least-? Why does she like what she does? What was her interest in him –because he was not that naïve, he knew there was some interest? Why did she talk to him more than anybody else? Why did she let Mori touch her? Why did she not like being touched in general? He wondered these things, and so much more, his mental list of things to figure out becoming much too big for his taste.
Kaoru, slowly becoming a friend of both Haruhi and the girl, was bothered to say the least. He wouldn't forgive either for hurting Hikaru like this.
Hunny was confused. He didn't understand what bothered the others. So Kairi had kissed Haruhi on the cheek, well, the neck, but close enough, but what was the big deal?
"Takashi? What's going on?" Mori sighed, and ruffled Mitsukuni's hair.
"Don't worry about it," he mumbled, inwardly wondering what he could do to help the situation. He wasn't blind, in fact, he was incredibly observant, especially when it came to Hunny, and he has seen that motherly-look Kairi got on her face when she looked at or talked to Mitsukuni.
"What should we do…?" Tamaki finally asked. Kyouya looked at them all.
"Do not be naïve, Haruhi will soon reject her. Our only concern will be what Yamachika-san's reaction will be." The others didn't dare doubt his judgment.
