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

As Kaoru and his sons walked up towards the book section, they suddenly heard a scream. It was Haruhi's scream.

"WH, Where's my Baby?"

"Haruhi?!" shouted Kaoru as he ran up to her so see her holding a baby doll in her hands shaking. "Haruhi, what happen?!"

"L, Look!" shouted Haruhi holding up the doll. "This was in the stroller instead of Hiroko. She's missing!"

Kaoru looked around franticly for any sign of Hiroko. Several people where also looking around for a sign of the baby.

"Somebody call the security!" he shouted

"This can't be happing. It just can't be!" said Haruhi.

"Excuse me, is this your baby?" asked a lady as she wheeled up a stroller with Hiroko sitting in it looking fine.

"Oh thank god!" said Haruhi as she ran and pulled the baby out of the stroller, hugging her tight.

"Thank you, thank you very much for finding her!" said Kaoru as he shook her hand.

"I saw her in a stroller that was a part of the toy display," said the lady.

"Hey wait a minute, this is our stroller!" said Kaoru as he noticed that this one had the diapers bag in the basket on the bottom.

"Someone must have switch or mixed up the strollers," said someone.

"Yeah and I want to know who! Where the hell is the security guard around here, I want to see the security tapes!" said Kaoru.

"Is there a problem here sir?" asked the manager walking up to them.

"Yes there's a problem. Someone "switched" your toy stroller with our own, with our baby in it and I want find out who it was! And I want this place put in lock down until we find out who did this!" said Kaoru.

"Uh but sir," said the manager.

"Is there a problem?" asked Renge walking up to the manager.

"Uh no Mrs. Houshakuji," said the manager.

"Renge?" said Kaoru.

"Then why don't you put this place on lock down like he said and start checking those security tapes!" said Renge.

"But Mrs. Houshakuji," protested the manager.

"Just do it or else I swear I'll never do another book signing here!" said Renge.

"Did you see that?" asked Ryoji.

"Yeah, how did snakes get into her hair?" asked Masayuki.

"Yes ma'am, right away," said manager.

"Uh thanks for that Renge," said Haruhi.

"Oh Haruhi, you poor thing, that must have been scary thinking your baby got kidnapped!" said Renge walking up to her. "She looks so cute. She looks a lot like you, except her hair. It looks like a little red."

"Yeah, she's getting my hair," said Kaoru.

"Hello Kaoru, it's so nice to see you again," said Renge. "Surprise to see you're the one that got together with Haruhi."

"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Kaoru.

"Well it's just you and your brother was always," Renge got lost in her thoughts. Kaoru moaned.

"I see you're still into all of the stuff huh otaku?" he said.

"What wrong with wanting to be happy getting yourself lost in fantasy?" asked Renge.

"Excuse me sir, the security found something on our tapes you might find interesting," said the manager walking back up to them.


A few minutes later the family and Renge was in the security room. They showed several different tapes that showed woman grabbing the toy stroller and following behind Haruhi and Kotoko to the book section. It showed her sneaking up behind once Renge hugged her and switched the strollers and then put the stroller back with the displays. The only problem was that the woman was wearing a hat that covered all of her hair and big dark sunglasses making it hard to see just who it was.

"It has to be her, it just has to be!" said Kaoru.

"Of course it's her. There's just no solid way to prove it!" said Haruhi adjusting Hiroko in her arms, "You can't really see her face."

"And unfortunately she got out before we instigated the lock down," said the manager.

"What?!" said Kaoru, "Ah, damn it the bit, the witch got away!"

"Who are you talking about?" asked Renge.

"Never mind otaku, unless you can find out for sure who it was that switch the stroller!" snapped Kaoru.

"Sorry Renge he's just frustrated and scared about all of this," said Haruhi.

"Oh wow, Kaoru, the brave and noble father. Who's had thought it!" said Renge.

"Let's just go," said Kaoru as he grabbed Haruhi's arm and ushered the other three kids out of the security room.

"Oh sir, don't worry about paying for anything. All the toys on us," said the manager following behind them.

"That's okay, we'll still pay," said Kaoru as he pulled out his wallet at the check-out. Haruhi was surprise Kaoru insisted on paying with out her nagging at him to.

"Hey Mommy did you want to see my new mechanical dinosaur?" asked Ryoji as he held up his new toy, "It moves, and roars!"

"So does my gorilla!" said Masayuki holding his new toy too.

"That's real nice boys. I bet they're a lot of fun," said Haruhi.

"Kotoko, I though I told you not to read this trash it'll rot your mind," said Kaoru holding up Renge's book.

"She gave it to me. I thought it'd be rude to turn it away," said Kotoko. "There's no guarantee I'll read it."

Kaoru sighed as he handed the clerk his credit card and the group all walked out of the store.


"So what do you want to do now?" asked Kaoru as they piled the kids back into the van.

"I don't know. That whole baby switch really freaked me out," said Haruhi. "I kind of want to just go home."

"But what about our family day, you know spending the whole day together as a family?" asked Kaoru.

"We can still do that, at home," said Haruhi.

Kaoru didn't look so sure.

"Look let's just go home, and I'll show you," said Haruhi.


Once the family arrived back home, Haruhi told the kids to put their new toys away and then to met up in the west lounge. When the kids got there, they found a board set up with several other ones all in a pile near by. Plus several different food dishes set up that where filled with all sort of different snacks and treats.

"We can spend the rest of the day in here together doing whatever we want as a family, play games watch TV or read a book together," said Haruhi as she sat down next to game. The kids all happily sat down next to the game as well.

"You know, that actually does sound like fun," said Kaoru as he too sat down holding Hiroko in his lap and bouncing her.


"And you should have seen their faces once they realized the baby was missing. It was hilarious!" said Aneko in between giggles holding her wine glass up high.

"So they got a good scare huh?" asked Shouta with a big smile. "Good work; you're doing a great job!"

"I told you, I'd do anything to make that bitch suffer," said Aneko as she drank up the rest of the wine in her cup.

Atsuko stood in the door way of the room watching Shouta and Aneko with a glare.

"What, what's wrong?" asked Daisuke walking up behind her.

"That new girl, there's something about her I don't like," said Atsuko.

"Oh don't tell me you're jealous of her," said Daisuke.

"If I was jealous of her, I'd have all ready of beaten her up! No there's just something about her I don't like," said Atsuko.

"Yeah I know what you mean. Something about her is just, I don't know, what's that word for it? Oh right, petty and vile," said Daisuke.

"I know it actually makes me feel sorry for the Hitachiin lady and her family. I almost can't help but feel like we've gone too far this time," said Atsuko.

"I've been thinking that for a while," said Daisuke.

"So what would you like for me to do next? Or am I free to improvise again like today?" asked Aneko.

"Why don't you hold off for a while? I'd like to give this bitch one more chance to back off. I'll be attending her family's puny baby shower tomorrow for those new babies her husband's brother recently had and I'll try to talk to her there," said Shouta.

"You're going to a baby shower? I didn't know you did that sort of thing," said Daisuke.

"A baby shower?" asked Aneko.

"Oh right, I forgot for a moment you're a commoner," said Shouta. "Showers that are held by our class are usually really big parties that lots of other elite families attend. It's also a good chance to do some match making and try to make some arrange marriages, you know that sort of thing. It's more like a matchmaking party then a baby shower."

"So why are you going to one being held by her family?" asked Aneko.

"I'm one of Japan's elite. It's only natural they'd want me to be there. Plus the Ohtori family is going to be there and it'll be a nice chance to once again try and get a connection with them!" said Shouta.

'Again with the Ohtoris,' thought Daisuke, knowing that his boss thought getting a connection with them would surly get him the "respect" and "recognition" he deserved.
