Disclaimer: I do NOT own 'Ouran High School Host Club'. I only own Okita Yuu, Okita Rin, Kurasawa Teru, and anyone related to the three.

A/N: Agh! I know I shouldn't get teary eyed at my OWN story, but writing this was just a bit too sad for me. I really am terrible and cruel to my OCs.

But this will be the last serious/sad chapter for a little bit. I want to add some humor in-between before adding more drama.


'No…'

It was the single thought that repeated itself inside the young teen mind as he ran down the many hallways towards his destination. Images flashed through his mind, images he had to scream at mentally to go away. Yet they only returned and continued to haunt him.

"Kurasawa-san! Please refrain from running in the hallway!" A voice cried out as he passed a desk filled with three young women all wearing matching uniforms. He didn't pay them much mind as skidded down another hallway.

Room 102b

The teen almost tripped over his own feet as he came to a sudden stop, not even giving himself a chance to catch his breath before entering the room in a rush. Gaze meeting the sight that plagued his dreams and had prevented him from receiving a restful night's sleep since he had received the news.

'No.'

There sitting in a seat beside the small bed was his mother, broken and sobbing loudly in the blankets that lay across the man lying in the bed. A doctor stood on the other side, giving the woman a look of pity before turning his attention towards the young teen that had just entered the room.

"T-T-Teru…." His mother spoke had she lifted her head from the bed, giving her son the most heartbreaking look before standing and rushing towards him. It was long before he found himself wrapped in a tight hug from the smaller woman, feeling her tears slowly starting to soak his shirt.

He didn't return the hug; he was too in shock to do much of anything. For his gaze had landed on the person that lay in the bed.

Why wasn't he met with the familiar sight of the older man sitting upright, cracking some lame joke? Why wasn't the television on some stupid show, the background noise loud and distracting? Why weren't the machines making their usual beeping sounds that he once thought were annoying?

…..Why wasn't his chest moving?

'No!'

It was in that moment that the realization of everything came crashing down on him. This wasn't another nightmare. This wasn't something he could wake up from and pretend it never happened. That man wasn't going to wake up, he wasn't going to sit up and laugh at them for falling for his prank.

When had the tears started falling?

When had he knelt down on the floor?

When had he punched the floor?

'Please…no…..'

"Can we take a break?" Yuu questioned as she slumped against the table she was seated at. Her mind too tired to try and continue with the homework that lay before her. The problems were too hard and just sitting there staring at the paper angrily had proven to not be a useful way at solving them.

"Not until you finish the problem you're working on." Hikaru answered with a smirk, enjoying the annoyed look he received from the girl that sat across from him.

"Then we sit here until we die." Yuu grumbled before placing her head against the desk, having completely given up at trying to solve the equation. "Because you are not helpful."

Yuu had decided that once summer vacation ended, she would begin spending Fridays and Saturdays with Hikaru and Kaoru. Feeling as if the couple really hadn't spent much time together since becoming a couple. It was rather awkward at first as she had no idea what to do with one another, especially on the rare occasions when Kaoru was nowhere in sight.

It was after the first weekend the two began becoming comfortable around one another, leaving the awkwardness that came with new relationships behind. Yuu soon noticed that the stutter that had once seemed to be a permanent thing around the boys had slowly started disappearing. Her mood had brightened greatly that day.

"And you're not a very good language tutor so we're even." Hikaru replied with a chuckle, only laughing more when Yuu stuck her tongue out at him. "How about we forget the homework then and get something to eat?"

"Can we have cupcakes?" Yuu questioned and only beamed when Hikaru nodded his head in return.

"Kaoru do you want anything?" Hikaru questioned his twin who was seated on their bed, doing his own homework. Hikaru worried briefly if maybe this 'study date' wasn't such a good idea, he didn't want he's brother becoming sadden believing he was a 'third wheel'

"I'm fine." Kaoru answered with a smile before waving the two off. And they would have left if it wasn't for a loud ringtone to suddenly start echoing through the room. The brother's raised brows not recognizing the song before realizing it was Yuu's phone.

"A-Ah, Hello?" Yuu answered after scrambling to try remove the device from her pocket and answer. She was confused when no one replied back, she only received silence. Furrowing her brows when she swore she heard a sob. "Hello?" She only received silence as her answer once more. Giving a small inaudible sigh she began pulling the phone away from her face only to freeze when she finally received a verbal reply.

"Y-Yuu….."

"Teru-kun?" Yuu questioned as concern slowly started taking over her being. Why did it sound as if he was crying? She had heard a sob hadn't she? What would ever cause him to cry?! "Is everything all right? You don't s-sound well…"

"Teru?" Hikaru questioned with small laces of annoyance in his voice. Yuu was supposed to be spending time with him, not talking on the phone with that guy. He didn't even like it when Yuu spoke of him, so being tossed aside so she could talk on the phone with him only angered him.

Kaoru quickly noticed his brother's anger and sent the teen a disapproving look. It seemed his brother still had a lot of maturing to do. "Hikaru…."

"I really need you right now. Is there any way you can come see me?" Yuu felt her heart break as another sob slipped passed his lips. What had happened to cause him to call her crying? Had that girl he told her about not returned his feelings? She prayed that wasn't what happened, the boy didn't deserve to go through heartbreak twice.

"Of course, where are you at?"

"The hospital…Fuck! I can't remember the name right now. The one near the park we hang out at." Yuu twitched as he swore loudly, not used to him saying such strong words. Though that didn't keep her attention long as his words began sinking in.

Hospital?

Oh dear! She took back her prayers that he wasn't heartbroken, not when something worse could have happened.

"I-I'll be right there." Yuu answered quickly before hanging up not giving him a chance to reply. "I-I need to go, something happened and Teru really needs me right now." Yuu spoke as she began gathering her things only to stop and leave them where they were lying.

"What's so important that he needs you right away?" Hikaru growled his annoyance becoming rather apparent now. It took Yuu momentarily off guard, why was he angry? Kaoru could only sigh as he began shaking his head.

"I don't know….b-but he said he was at the hospital…He….was crying…." Hikaru twitched as he realized this wasn't something as simple as she was picking Teru over himself. "I'm sorry for cutting our time together short, but I promise I'll be back later. I need to get my things don't I?" Yuu gave her boyfriend a smile before leaving him with a short kiss.

And then she was gone.

Emerald orbs scanned the halls trying to locate the room number she had receive from the nurse that sat behind the front entrance desk. She found herself hopelessly lost and would have given up and tried leaving if it wasn't for the fact that her friend was waiting for her.

"I-I curse-" Yuu began before shaking her head believing that was too harsh a statement. "I am very annoyed with whoever thought it would be funny to create me with no sense of direction…." Sighing loudly Yuu rounded another corner and was shocked at what she saw.

There sitting in outside a hospital room door was the boy she had been looking everywhere for. There was her friend huddle in a ball, his body shaking violently. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that he was crying.

"Teru-kun…." Yuu spoke softly as she began approaching her friend. Her heart breaking when he lifted his head and she saw how truly broken he looked. It didn't take her long to pull the boy into a tight embrace and for him to quickly return it, sobbing into her shoulder. "Teru-kun….what happened?"

The teen didn't answer as he soon found the tears falling faster, the sobs becoming too frequent to try and contain. He finally gave up trying to hide his sorrow and wept not caring who walked passed a saw him. Not caring if someone judged him for being almost a grown man and crying loudly into a girl much smaller than himself shoulder. All he wanted to do right now was hold onto someone who knew how painful this was and cry.

"H-He's gone…m-my dad's g-gone…"

"I'm so sorry…" Yuu spoke softly as her hold only tightened, she knew all too well of the pain he was in. Running fingers through his hair, she tried soothing the boy that way her grandmother had once soothed her. Thinking back on the memory she soon found herself repeating words her grandmother had once told her. "I know that this won't being very comforting right now, I know all too well. I know it hurts so much right now, but know the pain will lessen over time. All you have to keep telling yourself is that he isn't suffering anymore and that he will always love you and he will always be with you no matter what."

Yuu knew that she shouldn't speak anymore, just spend the rest of their time in silence. And that was what she did until the two parted ways. Teru leaving for his home as Yuu left for her own. It was when she was seated in her limo did she pull out her phone and sent a message to someone.

'I need a favor.'

"When are you going to walk in there?" Hikaru questioned the nervous girl beside him, tagging along because he knew had frightened she was to do this on her own.

"W-When I gather up the c-courage…." Yuu replied as she tried stopping her legs from shaking. "I don't want to appear in-insensitive. They just lost a f-family member; don't you think this will appear insensitive?"

"No I think they'd appreciate it, you know commoners don't have the kind of money to pay for all this." Yuu knew Hikaru wasn't trying to be rude, but sometimes rich people could be rather blunt and rude.

"I-I know…." Gathering up her courage Yuu began walking towards the room marked 102b. She could feel her legs shake and just about give out on her, yet she continued walking. Leaving Hikaru waiting outside the room as she entered.

"Yuu? What are you doing here?" Yuu flinched as she found herself face to face with Teru's mother. She had only spoken with the woman a few times before when meeting up with Teru, but never had a real conversation with her.

"I-I-I….." She trailed off as her eyes wandered around the room, noticing that Teru's father was no longer lying in the bed. Had the already transferred the body somewhere else? And where was Teru, he had told her he would be at the hospital. "I-Is Teru-kun a-around?"

"Oh, yes. He just left to get me something to drink; he should be back in a few moments." As if she was psychic, Teru walked into the room holding a soda can in hand.

"Yuu? What are you doing here?" Teru questioned with a raised brow, looking back to the door where he had just seen Hikaru waiting outside, or who he believed to be Hikaru.

"I c-came to give something to the both of y-you…." Yuu felt her heart break as she took in her friend's appearance. It hadn't improved at all since she had last visited him two days ago.

"Give us something?" Teru questioned as his brow only rose further in confusion, especially when Yuu reached into that bag that hung at her side and pulled out an envelope that she handed to his mother.

"What is this?" His mother questioned looking to the envelope in her hands before looking back at Yuu in confusion, a look her son shared.

"J-just…please open it." Yuu spoke quickly as she tried getting them to look at something other than herself.

Listening to the girl's request, his mother began opening the envelope only to gasp in shock moments later. Teru becoming curious walked to his mother's side looking into the envelope, only to gasp in shock as well.

"Y-Yuu…..what did you-" Teru couldn't even begin to form words, his mother just as speechless as him.

"I-I asked grandmother if we could pay for your hospital and funeral expenses. She had n-no problem in doing so…." The young woman blushed lightly not used to being stared at for so long. "So please don't thank me, it was my grandmother that paid for it."

"But it was you who thought to ask for such a thing. A-And I can't voice how much this means to us." Teru spoke before becoming confused once more as Yuu took out another envelope from her bag. "What is that?"

"A-Another gift…."

"Another? Yuu we couldn't possible accept something more, not after giving us such a large amount of money." Teru's mother spoke quickly feeling she already owed the young girl so much.

"Actually, this is something just for Teru." Teru blinked before accepting the envelope, opening it soon after.

"Transfer papers?"

"To Ouran Academy." Yuu answered with a smile completely missing the twitch Teru made. "Grandmother believed i-it would help you find a future career if y-you had connections. S-She offered to pay for your education and uniform….t-that is if you want to transfer!" Yuu quickly finished feeling uneasy at being stared at for so long. She found herself blushing as she was pulled into a tight hug.

"Thank you…..I really couldn't ask for a better friend." Teru spoke sincerely causing Yuu to smile brightly in response.

"That's what best friend are for silly. You were there for me when you hardly knew me, sat there a listened to me sob over my mother. You were there to make me take the step further that I didn't want to take, to admit my feelings for Hikaru." Yuu spoke brining a smile to Teru's lips as he began remembering those times that she so long ago. "Now it's my turn to help you. Let me be your shoulder to cry on, let me be the one you lean on when you feel likes falling. Let me be the one to force you to make the step and enter a relationship." Yuu finished with a small huff and Teru could only chuckle in return. It seemed she still was rather annoyed for being set up, though he knew she greatly appreciated it.

"I should be heading out now; Hikaru is probably becoming tired of waiting for me." Teru nodded his head understanding, before waving the girl off. Watching her smile at her boyfriend and gently take his hand in hers before the door shut behind them.

Looking down to the envelope that rested in his hands, he began thinking.

"…..Maybe….."
