DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
"Forget it Kyoya!"
Kaoru, Haruhi, Hikaru and Sada all looked over towards their privet dining room to see Oki storming out followed by Kyoya. Everyone else was also following after them.
"Oki please try to be reasonable," said Kyoya.
"Oh, oh, you want me to reasonable?! Here I thought it was reasonable to want know where the hell our relationship was going!" said Oki. "We've been together a lot longer then Hunny and Kaede and they seem to be moving forward a lot faster then we are! I thought you loved me Kyoya. I thought we had a nice going on, but I don't know how long I can keep going on like this if there's no chance for anything else beyond this!"
"Oki, please it's not that I don't enjoy being around you, it's just that my family," Kyoya started to say.
"Oh here we go again with your family," said Oki. "Your family is one the most precious and wealthiest families in all of the Japan, in all the world, and they have high expectation about who it is that becomes a part of this family since they have to help your family maintain it's image! And you have to try and work them up to the idea of a commoner marring into your family. God, I hate how you refer to me as a commoner. It's like you think you're royalties or something! And I don't think I can wait much longer for your family to warm up to me Kyoya! I'm going home, the commoner's way, on the bus. Don't bother calling me!" She turned and looked at Kaede and Hunny.
"Sorry about this Kaede, Hunny. I wish you a life time of happiness together!" and with that she stormed out the door.
"What was that all about?" asked Haruhi.
"It appears that Oki is no longer pleased at how are relationship is going," said Kyoya.
"I wonder why she would be feeling that," said Hikaru and Kaoru.
"What are going to do Kyoya?" asked Haruhi.
"Oh don't worry about me Haruhi. I'll have everything work out soon enough," said Kyoya.
"I wonder what Kyoya has in mind about Oki," said Haruhi when she and Kaoru where home and in their room.
"Oh this is Kyoya we're talking about. When there's something he wants he gets it, or someone. And I think he really cares about her," said Kaoru holding Haruhi close, giving her gently kisses on her cheek.
"Hmm, you're right, and I have my own problems to worry about," said Haruhi.
"Like how you need to pay me back for covering that bitch's tab?" Kaoru whispered into her ear. "Those drinks she ordered weren't cheep."
"Yeah I guess you do deserve a reward of some kind for being the bigger man in that," said Haruhi as felt Kaoru's kiss move down to her neck and shoulder. "What did you have in mind?"
"I think you could figure that out after all this time," said Kaoru.
He spun her around and kissing her hard for a few seconds.
"Kaoru, I'm having a hard time standing up like this," Haruhi manage to whisper.
"Oh sorry," said Kaoru, "Here."
Haruhi soon found herself on the bed with Kaoru smiling at her.
"I am going to make sure I get what I deserve for covering that bitch," said Kaoru.
"Go right ahead," said Haruhi.
The next morning Haruhi awoke from a nice sleep to the sound of her cell phone.
As she reached over to answer it, she heard Kaoru mumble into her ear, "You answer that and I make you cos. play tonight."
"I'll risk it," said Haruhi.
She could feel Kaoru smile.
"I was halfway hoping you'd say that," he said.
"I bet you were," said Haruhi as she picked up the phone and saw that it was Oki.
"Hello Oki, what's going on?" asked Haruhi.
"Haruhi, you are not going to believe what happen!" said Oki.
"What?" asked Haruhi.
"Kyoya, he said he wanted me to come over to his house in a few days to meet his family! His actual house to meet his actually family, including his father!" said Oki.
"I thought you didn't want to him to call you," said Haruhi.
"Yeah," Kaoru mumbled.
"I did, but this is Kyoya. The only person that he ever really listens to is his father. He called me this morning and asked if I can come over in a few days to meet everyone!" said Oki.
"Isn't that what she wanted?" asked Kaoru.
"Shh," hissed Haruhi. "Isn't that what you wanted happen?"
"Well not all at once! I wanted to meet them all one at a time! The only one I've met so far is his sister and from what I've heard she's like completely different from the rest of his family! Haruhi, you and Kaoru have to come with me!"
"What?" asked Haruhi.
"What did she say?" asked Kaoru.
"Shh!" hisses Haruhi again.
"Kyoya said I could invite a friend and you're the only one I know that knows Kyoya and his family really well. Please say you'll come. I'd feel much better if you're there!" said Oki.
"Uh, well," said Haruhi.
"No, no," said Kaoru. "It's Saturday, you know family night!"
"But she really wants our help and if we do go to this you'll get to dress me up again," said Haruhi. Kaoru face lit up at that idea.
"You're right," he said. "And the day after is Sunday. The kids won't have school. I tell you what, we can go if you promise that we get spend the whole day after with the kids, just us and no work, and you have to cos. play that night as well."
"Deal," said Haruhi. "Oki we'll be there.
"Thank you!" said Oki.
"Tell her she can come over to our house later and I'll get her a new dress," said Kaoru. "And we can go over to Kyoya's house together."
"It's been a while since we've been to the Ohtori Mansion," said Haruhi.
"Yeah, but it still looks the same to me," said Kaoru as they pilled out of the car.
"I've hardly been here at all," said Oki gripping her purse. "Any time I did his father was out of town on business."
"It'll be okay," said Haruhi as they walked into the house and into a bigger room where Kyoya, his father, mother, bothers, sister and their spouses where all waiting. Haruhi could hear Oki gulp.
"Oki, I'm so glad you made it," said Kyoya walking up to her.
"Yes hello Kyoya," said Oki bitterly.
"Haruhi, Kaoru, nice to see you," said Kyoya.
"You almost don't sound surprise to see us here," said Kaoru. Kyoya shrugged.
"I told Oki she could bring a friend she knew and naturally she'd want to bring someone who was familiar with my family. Haruhi's the one that's mostly fit's that description and anywhere she'd go, Kaoru was most likely to follow," he said.
"Mr. Know-it-All," said Kaoru.
Oki didn't look impressed.
"Whatever," she said as she walked over towards Kyoya's sister Fuyumi and started to talk with her cheerfully.
Haruhi and Kaoru both looked at Kyoya who seemed unfazed about Oki blowing him off. Instead he only smiled and walked over to where his parents stood.
"Wonder what he's up to," said Haruhi.
"Give it a few minutes, we'll find out soon," said Kaoru as the two moved over to a table where several drinks and food where set out.
"Hello Mrs. Hitachiin, Mr. Hitachiin," they both heard Mr. Ohtori coming up behind them.
"Good evening sir," said Haruhi.
"Always a pleasure," said Kaoru.
"Mrs. Hitachiin, might I have a work with you alone for a moment?" asked Mr. Ohtori.
"Uh sure," said Haruhi following him to the far end of the room.
"I was just wondering, what all do you know Miss Naoko?" asked Mr. Ohtori.
"Oh you mean Oki, she's a nice girl. I've know her ever since I started at my law office. She had been working at there for about a year before I had started there and all ready she was really making herself well know. She has a good record. She's hardly ever loses a case and she never goes down with out a fight. And she's not one to take a lot of bullshit from anyone. Plus she's really nice. She was really nice to me when I first started. She was there for me when I had my oldest daughter and when I had my other three children as best she could. She was also there for me when I, I left my first husband," said Haruhi.
"Hmm," said Mr. Ohtori, "Thank you very much for your insight Mrs. Hitachiin."
"Uh yes, no problem," said Haruhi as she walked back over to Kaoru.
"Everything ok?" asked Kaoru.
"I'm not sure," said Haruhi. Just then they saw Mr. Ohtori walk over to Kyoya and then the two of them walked out the room together. Haruhi looked over at Oki who was looking at the door Kyoya and his father had walked out. She quickly walked over to her and Fuyumi.
"Hi, how's it going?" she asked.
"Hi Haruhi, it's been a long time hasn't it?" said Fuyumi in her normal kind tone.
"Yes it has," said Haruhi.
"Haruhi, can I talk to you alone for a moment?" asked Oki leading her away. "We'll be right back Fuyumi." She and Haruhi walked over near Kaoru.
"Did you just see what happen with Kyoya and his father walking out of the room together. What do you think that means?" asked Oki.
"I don't know, it could mean a lot of things," said Haruhi.
Just then the two men walked back. It was hard to see what had happen between the two as Kyoya walked over to Oki.
"Can I talk to you alone for a moment?" he asked as he led her outside. Haruhi walked over to Kaoru and both moved towards the window where they could try and get a better look at what was going on. It was dark and there was only one light one, making it hard to really hard to see what was happening, but soon they saw what looked like Oki hugging Kyoya happily and the two of them kissing.
"Wonder what's going on there?" asked Kaoru as they watch the two walk back in.
"Everyone, I would like to announce that after a long talk with my father, I have finally asked Miss Oki Naoko to marry me and she has said yes," said Kyoya.
"Really," said Haruhi. She saw that all of Kyoya's family where now clapping mildly and each did more or less had a smile on their faces. Fuyumi's smile was the biggest of all as she walked over to Oki and gave her a big hug.
"Congratulations Kyoya, it's about time," said Haruhi walking up to him.
"Oh thank you Haruhi. I'm very glad you where here to witness this. There was something I wanted to show you," said Kyoya as he led her away to his own home office.
"I heard about what happen the other day with you and Mori hunting down the man that bribed your so-work to lure you down to the office. I was able to look up the name of the man and I found out where he got the money to pay your co-worker. It's really intresting. It's an account that has lot of people make various with draws from it. Yet all the deposits are made by cash." He got up on his laptop and pulled up the list.
"You found all of this?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes," said Kyoya.
"Well he did say that he and his buddies do this at several different offices," said Haruhi.
"Did he, and is Officer Ebisu one of his buddies too?"
"What?" asked Haruhi.
"His name appears as one of the people who have made a withdrawal on this account," said Kyoya as he scrolled down the list.
"Really?" said Haruhi as she looked at the list and sure enough there was Ebisu's name, twice. Then she noticed something else that got her attention.
"Haruhi, is something wrong?" asked Kyoya as he looked up at her.
"That dates near the two times Ebisu made those withdrawals. Both are really close to the day my client's wife was murdered, before and after," said Haruhi.
"Yes and you should be interested in this. The same man that made the withdrawal and bribed your co-worker the other day made a similar withdrawal the day before murder as well," said Kyoya.
"You're right, but that could mean anything," said Haruhi. Then she remembered the Mr. Hinata's co-worker that had dumped his work onto him the night of the murder. One of the other employees had mention he was often strapped for cash.
'I have to talk to him again,' thought Haruhi. Then she saw another name that caught her attention.
"Kyoya scrolled up a little bit," said Haruhi. "It is her!"
"Who?" asked Kyoya.
"That name, it's the name of The Hinata's neighbor. The same one the called 911 the night of the murder!" said Haruhi. "Kyoya, whose account is this exactly?"
"I'm not sure. The name on the account doesn't mach any one I've been able to find. I'm starting to think it's a false name," he said.
"Hmm, still it's kind of weird to see both these names making withdrawals around the time of the murder. In fact there's a few withdrawals from this account around the time of the murder," said Haruhi.
"And there's also one from around the time you and Sada where kidnapped," said Kyoya.
"They all have to be connected somehow, and if I can find the link I can maybe prove that Mr. Hinata didn't do it!" said Haruhi, "Thanks Kyoya."
"No problem, why did you think I had Oki invite you over?" asked Kyoya.
"Wait, what," said Haruhi.
"Well like I said, if I told Oki to invite a friend, I figured she'd invite you and it would give me a chance to show you this," said Kyoya.
"You have always do have everything planned out so well Kyoya," said Haruhi.
