Oh my gosh my story is almost over. How depressing I might start balling right now. Well I have another Ouran story that has a few chapters already made so I'll post chapter one after I'm done with "That Summer". It centers on Kasanoda and an OC. I think Kasanoda needs some love and I just couldn't see him with Haruhi so I made someone for him. I love you "aihime1" for saying that the Nekozawa part was cheesy. I honestly think all mysteries need a little cheese. Can't be serious all the time. But seriously thank you everyone for sticking with me.
"I've heard you've been looking for me?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"Who did you here that from?" Haruhi asked.
"Well when you're dead you just find out from weird things like the walls" Tatsuhiro said.
"The walls?" Haruhi asked.
"Yeah, when you walk through them you learn stuff. It's too hard to explain you'll find out eventually" Tatsuhiro sighed.
"Are you the last ghost?" Haruhi asked.
"Well I guess you really are just a little question asker. In a way I am. I'm the last ghost to take you on a little excursion. But there is another ghost involved in our tale. But I would stay away from him if I were you. The years have turned him into a fiend and he would have no problem with killing you" Tatsuhiro said.
"Who is he?" Haruhi asked.
"I can't tell you that, it would end our little game to soon. Now come on we don't have all of eternity. Well I do but you don't" Tatsuhiro said as the room started to spin.
"WAIT HARUHI, DADDY IS COMING"
A blonde blur tackled Tatsuhiro.
"You are not taking her without me!" Tamaki demanded.
"Get off me you idiot! You could of just asked and I would have let you come. Who do you think I am Kisuke?" Tatsuhiro asked.
The room spun faster and faster. Tamaki gripped Haruhi's hand so tight she was afraid he was going to break it. Tatsuhiro just laughed.
When the wind slowed the hosts found themselves in a grassy field. They were surrounded by apple tress. Fluffy clouds rolled past on a light blue sky. Tatsuhiro was sitting on a branch upon one of the larger apple trees. In his hand was a ruby red apple. Grabbing hold of the branch Tatsuhiro swung off the branch. He was clothed in a simple white shirt with blue jeans.
"Nice outfit Haruhi, I think it suits you" Tatsuhiro chuckled.
"You should because you picked it out," Haruhi grumbled in dismay.
She was also clothed in a simple white shirt that hugged her frame. On her lower half were a pair of very short denim shorts. Tamaki was dressed that same way that Tatsuhiro was. A blush crept across his face as he saw Haruhi.
"Haruhi Daddy is so happy you're dressed in clothes that show you are a girl" Tamaki exclaimed.
"Your still not my dad" Haruhi grumbled.
"Well instead of having you two argue over Haruhi's paternity why don't we get going" Tatsuhiro said.
Looping his arms with Haruhi and Tamaki, Tatsuhiro swung them into the wind. When the trio arrived at their destination they found themselves in the lobby. It was the same day that Mitsuki and Yuki arrived. But Haruhi noticed something that she didn't notice before. In the corner of the room were two young men. One had blonde while the other had dark hair. Both of them had sparkling blue eyes.
"WHY IS CRAIG HERE?" Tamaki shouted.
"Oh so you've met Craig?" Tatsuhiro asked innocently.
"CRAIG IS A GHOST?" Tamaki shouted again.
"Who the heck is Craig?" Haruhi asked.
"Craig is my best friend. Craig worked at the hotel the same summer that I did. He was from America and was in Japan because his mother was Japanese and he was visiting her. Craig died a couple days after I did. He slipped in the kitchen and hit his head. He had always been clumsy. So unfortunately for Craig he wound up in my limbo. He agreed that he would help me help you guys so that he could get to heaven faster. That's why he showed you the hallway' Tatsuhiro explained.
"There is another ghost?" Haruhi asked.
"Technically but don't worry you might only see him once or twice he has nothing to do with the mystery. Now will you pay attention or this whole trip will be pointless," Tatsuhiro snapped.
Haruhi did as she was asked and watched the scene. Mitsuki and Yuki walked in through the doors as they did before and began to make their way to the stairs.
"Tatsuhiro look at that girl. She's beautiful, we have to ask Keiko what her name is" Craig exclaimed.
"Which one the blonde or the brunette?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"Who do you think? The blonde!" Craig laughed as he said this.
"I think the brunette is better looking" Tatsuhiro mumbled.
"The young one? Watch out it's always the young ones that get you in trouble" Craig joked.
"Whatever lets just go find Keiko" Tatsuhiro said.
The wind swirled and Tatsuhiro grabbed Tamaki and Haruhi and grinned. This time when the wind stopped the trio were in an unfamiliar place. It was a small dark room with one window. Two worn couches sat next to each other. Lockers lined the other wall. An older woman with a severe bun sat on one couch as Craig and Tatsuhiro walked into the room.
"Where are we?" Haruhi asked.
"The employees lounge" Tatsuhiro replied.
Craig rushed to the older woman and sat next to her. Tatsuhiro slowly followed.
"Keiko, my love, my dear, my life I have a favor to ask" Craig said sweetly.
"Cut the crap Craig what do you want?" Keiko snapped.
"You seem like you've had a bad day. But anyway who are the two girls who checked in today?" Craig asked.
"Their names are Mitsuki and Yuki. I wouldn't try anything though, those girls are too good for a working class boy such as yourself." Keiko said in a bored voice.
"Sucks for you Craig but a girl like that wouldn't want guys like us anyway" Tatsuhiro laughed.
"Shut up, who wouldn't want me?" Craig said.
Haruhi laughed at their conversation.
"What's so funny Haruhi?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"His ego reminds me of Hikaru" Haruhi giggled.
"Haruhi you shouldn't say that about your brother?" Tamaki said.
"He's not my brother and your not my dad" Haruhi groaned.
"You two are worse than toddlers" Tatsuhiro mumbled and grabbed their arms and swung them into the wind.
Once again the trio was in the lobby. Tatsuhiro and Craig were pushing a cart of food as Yuki and Mitsuki skipped into the hotel.
"Tatsuhiro go talk to Yuki right now. Go get yourself a summer fling" Craig urged.
"A girl like that isn't a "summer fling" she's the real deal. You can't just talk to someone like that I'd need a purpose" Tatsuhiro sighed.
"You have a purpose, you need to get a girl and start popping out some kiddos" Craig chuckled.
"Your disgusting. What about you? Go talk to Mitsuki" Tatsuhiro teased.
"Mitsuki is so yesterday, I found an adorable little maid on the third floor. She works with Keiko. She's just a little shy mousy thing. I can't wait to see how naughty she can be," Craig said.
"Something is wrong with you. Do you know that?"
Just as Tatsuhiro was saying this Kisuke walked in.
"Look at this pompous ass" Craig complained.
"I hate guests like that" Tatsuhiro cringed.
"No way! That guy is making a move on our women" Craig groaned.
"What happened to "Mitsuki is so yesterday"?" Tatsuhiro asked
"What? Oh who cares about that? Look at him, we lost before we have any chance," Craig complained.
"Don't worry we'll find a way" Tatsuhiro said.
The wind swirled again and the trio was now in the kitchen. Craig was walking and fell straight on his face. Tatsuhiro rushed towards him.
"Are you okay? You seriously need to be more careful one of these days you're going to hit your head" Tatsuhiro cautioned.
"Don't worry I wouldn't die a lousy death like that" Craig boasted.
"That's ironic" Tamaki said.
"Seriously" Tatsuhiro and Haruhi said at the same time.
A small brunette girl walked into the room. She was wearing a maid uniform and had glasses on. Craig rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"How is my little Renee today?" Craig purred.
"Stop it Craig!" Renee shouted.
"Renee you're breaking my heart" Craig moaned.
"Leave me alone you pervert. Tatsuhiro that girl you like is crying in her room again" Renee said.
"What do you mean again?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"She cried a couple nights ago. I saw Mr. Kisuke leave her room. His hair was misplaced. It looked like he had just finished doing, well you know" Renee said with a blush.
Tatsuhiro's face grew a deep red. Turning his face down he clenched his hand till his knuckles were white.
"Do we have any spare food?" Tatsuhiro asked coldly.
"We have a chocolate cake left. Why?' Craig asked.
"I'm going to Yuki's room. I'm going to knock on the door and pretend I brought room service to the wrong room. When I see that she's crying I'll ask what's wrong" Tatsuhiro said.
"Way to go Tatsuhiro. You go be Yuki's knight!" Craig cheered.
Haruhi smiled but than frowned when she realized what was coming next. Tatsuhiro let out a groan and the wind started to swirl again. Soon they were in the corner of the room and saw Yuki crying on the bed. Haruhi instinctively walked towards Yuki but was stopped by Tamaki.
"You can't save her," Tamaki whispered into her ear.
"I will soon," Haruhi whispered back.
Like clock work the door was knocked upon and the hosts heard Tatsuhiro shout "Room Service".
The door opened and the room flooded with light. Tatsuhiro stepped into the room and instantly dropped the cake to the floor. Dashing towards the bed Tatsuhiro hugged Yuki.
"Oh my god, are you all right?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"It's Y-Yuki. I'm fine, just leave please," Yuki pleaded through her sobs.
"I'm sorry miss but I can't leave till you give me a smile. My name is Tatsuhiro by the way".
Yuki tried to smile but failed miserably. When Tatsuhiro started laughing Yuki sent him a fierce glare.
"Don't be so mad sweetheart, why don't you tell me what's wrong?" Tatsuhiro said with a cheeky grin.
As Yuki began to tell her story Tatsuhiro continued to hold her but never broke eye contact.
"That bastard didn't deserve her. It ripped me apart hearing what happened but I had to be strong for Yuki. That was the night that I knew I loved her" Tatsuhiro said quietly.
The wind started to swirl again and the trio began to spin once again. Once again they were in Yuki room. Yuki laid on half of the bed with a plate of chocolate cake in front of her. Tatsuhiro lay next too her and had a plate of fruit in front of him.
"Tatsuhiro you're going to make me fat if you keep bringing me cake" Yuki chuckled.
"Don't worry I'll still be your friend if you get fat" Tatsuhiro teased.
"I think you secretly want me to get fat so that you can have me all to yourself" Yuki teased back.
"Damn you figured out the plan. Now I'll have to go with plan b" Tatsuhiro said.
"And what would that be?" Yuki asked.
"I have to kidnap you and force you to bear my children" Tatsuhiro laughed as he said this.
"Do I have a say in this?" Yuki asked innocently.
"Nope" Tatsuhiro said.
"Well than I guess I better pack my bags" Yuki stated.
"This was the greatest time of my life" Tatsuhiro said as a tear rolled down his cheek.
"You'll see her again Tatsuhiro" Haruhi said.
"With the host club on your side you'll definitely be brought together with your love" Tamaki proclaimed.
Tatsuhiro smiled and skipped into the wind. This time the wind brought them too the Festival. Craig and Tatsuhiro were retrieving trays for the festival.
"Where have you been lately?" Craig asked.
"I've been busy" Tatsuhiro mumbled.
"I can't believe you're ditching me for a girl!" Craig groaned.
"Yuki is not just a girl, I love her" Tatsuhiro turned to Craig and looked him in the eye.
"Whoa, sorry I didn't mean offense. Truce?" Craig asked.
"Of course" Tatsuhiro smiled.
"So have you told her?" Craig asked.
"Told her what?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"That you love her," Craig said.
"I'm going to tell her tonight at the festival. I'm going to purpose when we get to the beach" Tatsuhiro said quietly.
"You're going to ask her to marry you?" Craig nearly shouted.
"Quiet down you idiot. But yes I am, I saved up for a ring. It's not as big as the one Kisuke gave Mitsuki but it was all I could afford" Tatsuhiro said.
"Can I see it?" Craig asked.
"Sure" Tatsuhiro replied.
Tatsuhiro pulled a box out of his pocket. As he opened it Craig saw a small silver ring with a tiny diamond on it.
"She'll love it Tatsuhiro" Craig said as he patted Tatsuhiro on the back.
"Assuming she says yes, would you be my best man?" Tatsuhiro asked.
"Of course! I'd be honored. Now it's getting pretty dark so you should head over to Yuki's room and get her cute butt over here. Just go through the beach to be faster. I have a spare shirt in my locker so change before you go to her room. You stink pretty badly" Craig said.
"I can't leave yet I have more tables to do" Tatsuhiro said.
"Just go, I'll cover you" Craig commanded.
"Alright thanks a million," Tatsuhiro said.
"Haruhi, Tamaki you're going to have to run to keep up with me," Tatsuhiro said as he began to chase after his former self.
The hosts than followed suit and ran after him. As Tatsuhiro ran across the beach he heard something.
"Yuki, please come out I'm sorry. Please Yuki I need you. I love you so much. You're my baby sister I need you"
Turning Tatsuhiro saw Mitsuki rush into the water. Trying to sneak by without her Tatsuhiro quietly turned and walked fast towards the hotel. When he turned around to check on Mitsuki he saw a shape moving away from her. Moving quickly Tatsuhiro swam towards Mitsuki. Gasping as he saw her face fear crept up his spine. Just as he was about to pull her towards shore Tatsuhiro saw Kisuke heading down the beach. Fearing to be seen he dove underwater and swam until he was out of sight. Adrenaline pumping trough his veins Tatsuhiro continued to run towards the hotel.
"I was afraid that Kisuke would have me arrested if I stayed. I knew I couldn't tell anyone that I had been there. I mean who would believe a waiter of Kisuke?" Tatsuhiro explained.
"But you didn't see who drowned her?" Haruhi asked with a horse voice.
"No" Tatsuhiro looked down.
Tamaki grabbed a crying Haruhi and walked into the wind. Soon everyone was back in the employees lounge. Tatsuhiro flung open Craig's locker and put on a new shirt. He couldn't find new pants so he closed it and ran towards Yuki's room. The trio trailed after him as he ran up the stairs to Yuki's room. Before opening the door Tatsuhiro slicked his hair back and started to breathe normally. As he opened the door Yuki rushed towards him.
"Tatsuhiro why are you wet?" Yuki asked fretfully as she hugged him.
"Some bitch poured her drink on me when I was waiting at the festival. But more importantly were you crying?" Tatsuhiro asked as he saw Yuki's puffy eyes.
Yuki walked onto the balcony and looked at the night sky. Tatsuhiro crushed her against his torso and brought her lips up to his. Making sure to be gentle he picked up Yuki and carried her to the bed. As he leaned over her small body a grin grew on his face. A horrible blush covered Yuki's face.
"Don't ever be embarrassed around me. I love you. I love every part of you so never be afraid to show me anything," Tatsuhiro confessed as he ran his hands through Yuki's hair.
"Tatsuhiro, I love you too," Yuki whispered softly.
Just as Tatsuhiro began to take off his shirt Kisuke busted through the door with a pistol in his hand. His green eyes flashed with so much rage that Yuki whimpered as she his behind Tatsuhiro's large shoulders.
"Well look at this. Yuki you truly are a whore. Your willing to sleep with anyone as long as they say they love you" Kisuke sneered.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE" Tatsuhiro shouted through clenched teeth.
"Oh so you do actually love her. Be careful she becomes really clingy after you do her" Kisuke laughed manically as he says this.
Tatsuhiro's jaw clenched as he resisted his impulse to throttle Kisuke. Yuki by now was crying as she clung to Tatsuhiro's shoulders. Turning around to her face Tatsuhiro forced a smile and whispered in her ear "I love you so much no matter what happens". Tatsuhiro then walked towards the door and opened it making a hand gesture towards Kisuke too leave. Kisuke just laughed and began to speak.
"Did you both know that Mitsuki is dead? I found her just lying in the ocean next to a buoy. Yuki you know as well as me that she was a strong swimmer. So since she couldn't have drown from be a bad swimmer you know what I think happened. I think you killed her Yuki. You were so jealous of our love that you were driven to kill her. You know what I think I'll teach your boyfriend what it's like to see your love dead" Kisuke said as he darted towards Yuki.
Before Tatsuhiro could reach him, Kisuke grabbed Yuki and pulled her against him with the pistol to her head.
"Move any closer and I will shoot her," Kisuke threatened as Tatsuhiro moved closer.
Tatsuhiro knelt down on his knees with tears running down his cheeks. His indigo eyes looked like the ocean with all these tears.
Looking Yuki in the eye Tatsuhiro said "Don't worry I promise everything will be okay. I love you".
"Please take me instead. Yuki is only fourteen she has so much of her life before her," Tatsuhiro pleaded.
"Mitsuki had her life before her too. She was going to be my wife and bear my children. Now I'm just bringing us closer together. Yuki may your soul rot in hell," Kisuke said as he fired the pistol. Yuki's body went limp in his arms.
"NO!" Tatsuhiro screamed.
Darting over to Yuki's broken body Tatsuhiro grabbed her and cradled her in his arms. Tatsuhiro's tears mixed with Yuki's blood. Soon his shirt became a blood red. Taking one final look at his beloved Tatsuhiro bent his head down and kissed Yuki's cold lips. After this was done he gently set her body down on the floor. As he stood up it soon became apparent that Tatsuhiro was taller and stronger than Kisuke. Tatsuhiro had worked his entire life while Kisuke had only schemed.
Tatsuhiro let out a yell and ran towards Kisuke. Kisuke shook with fear and fired his pistol. To his horror the pistol didn't have any bullets left. Scared of his fate Kisuke ran out to the balcony. His final mistake. Tatsuhiro ran out onto the balcony and grabbed Kisuke by the shoulders. Kisuke threw a punch but Tatsuhiro ducked. In retaliation Tatsuhiro sucker punched Kisuke in the jaw and sent him flying to the rail. Before Kisuke could say anything or even protest Tatsuhiro pushed him off and sent him plummeting to his death.
Rushing back towards Yuki Tatsuhiro cradled her in his arms. Pulling out his ring he slid it onto Yuki's finger.
"Will you marry me?" Tatsuhiro choked out between sobs.
Haruhi began to sob along with Tamaki as they heard a clapping. Turning around they saw a wet Daisuke standing in the doorway.
"Who are you?" Tatsuhiro cried out.
"I'm the puppet master. My name is Daisuke and I'm Kisuke's cousin. You see I had no intentions of Yuki dying so I apologize for that" Daisuke sneered.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Tatsuhiro demanded.
"Well you see I killed Mitsuki. I know you saw me so that means you have to die. I killed Mitsuki because if she lived I would have lost everything. I couldn't let Kisuke have a fiancé before me. Kisuke dying is just icing on the cake. Now unfortunately you have to die because you know what I did," Daisuke said.
Tatsuhiro now noticed that Daisuke had picked up the pistol and was putting new bullets in. Before he could run Daisuke fired and the wind swept the trio up.
"IT WAS DAISUKE" Haruhi screamed as she hit the grassy field.
Haruhi cried with all her might. Soon she felt a pair of arms pick her up. Looking up Haruhi saw Tamaki.
"Haruhi Craig wants to tell us something," Tamaki whispered softly.
Deciding to stop crying Haruhi only let out sniffles as she turned to see Craig next to Tatsuhiro.
"Hello Haruhi, you look very cute when you sniffle. But anyways after Daisuke killed Tatsuhiro he took Yuki's lipstick and wrote the infamous phrase "I will do anything for you Yuki" to make sure everyone thought that Tatsuhiro killed himself. But the police eventually discovered that the angle that Tatsuhiro was shot couldn't have been done Tatsuhiro. Daisuke knew of a secret tunnel in the hotel from having an affair with Renee. He was covered with blood and accidentally smeared the wall. When he came out of the wall Keiko saw him. Fearing that she would recognize him Daisuke hit her with a lamp. He than climbed out the window and ran to the beach. Since it was dark and he didn't know his away around he didn't know that there was a cliff. Daisuke ran off the cliff and died. Daisuke still haunts the hotel but he won't take you on a journey. You'll have to go to the hotel room that everyone was murdered in. So you will have to be there at the stroke of midnight when it turns to the day that they were killed. When they are all forced to return to the seen of the crime. That's when the gates to hell and heaven will be opened. You need to tell everyone what happened otherwise all of us ghosts would go to hell. Be careful Daisuke and Kisuke might try to kill you" Craig warned.
Before Haruhi could reply the wind picked her up and she landed softly on the beach. When she looked around she couldn't see Tamaki.
STIIL IN LIMBO
"Tamaki I learned what it is like to not be able to share your feelings until the end. You need to tell Haruhi that you love her," Tatsuhiro demanded.
"I'm her father she already knows" Tamaki joked.
"Listen to me, you know deep down that you love her. You think about her all the time. You can't stand when someone touches her. You can't sleep without saying goodnight to her. Just tell her okay, before it's too late" Tatsuhiro smiled and pushed Tamaki into the wind.
While in the wind Tamaki realized that Tatsuhiro was right.
"I love Haruhi, I always have" Tamaki thought.
Soon Tamaki landed on the beach.
"Tamaki are you alright?" Haruhi asked.
"Yes, but never mind that, Haruhi I L-"
"HARU ARE YOU ALRIGHT" Hunny said as he tackled Tamaki out of the way.
All right guys last chapter is next. I love you all so much. Thank you for everything. We'll find out whom Haruhi finally end up with and what happens to all the ghosts. I'm sorry that I ruined Tamaki's confession but I couldn't let him do it.
