A/N… Ah yes, the Shadow King and his wily ways. Do you think he gets some sort of thrill at the sneak attack? I don't think Kameko fully understands who she is up against, and if she does… then she is dumber than Tamaki. Is everyone ready for the first round of Haruhi's plans to get the trio of morons back? If so… then read on. I want to say thank you to ShadedStarlight0 (engagement) and Mtnikolle (moving) for recommending part of what Haruhi will be using for paybacks. Enjoy the chapter!
PS… Don't forget that Revenge and Ouran for Dummies will be moving to the author name CyraAngel. They can actually already be found there, but will be removed from my author profile within the next week or so.
Chapter 29 – Phase One
"Kyoya, do I have to go with you to Haruhi's house? I was hoping to go and visit with my lady love today," Tamaki pouted as he sat in the limo across from his best friend.
Rolling his eyes, Kyoya replied, "Yes, you are the one that set this up. How are we supposed to have a Host Club meeting without our prince?"
"But Mon Ami, Kameko snapped at me both on Thursday and Friday. I did something to upset her and I must fix it. I don't know what I did. I was just trying to shower her with my affections and she yelled at me. Why would she yell when we love each other so?"
"Yes, you do seem to have that effect on women," Kyoya muttered under his breath.
"What was that Kyoya?" Tamaki inquired. He really wasn't sure what his best friend said, but maybe it was a sage piece of advice he could use to woo his fair maiden and right the wrong he so grievously, albeit unknowingly, committed.
"Nothing Tamaki."
"But Kyoya if you know what I did wrong, you must share it with me!"
Smirking, the Shadow King pushed up his glasses, "Let's see it could have been the sky writer you hired to proclaim your love in the heavens, or the trail of roses you left from the entrance of the school to her first period class where she found you dressed as a Greek god and asking her to be Hera to your Zeus, or the string quartet that you hired to perform during your overly extravagant lunch, or the elephant you rented to take her home in a new and exciting way."
"Those were all just to show her how much I love her."
"It was too over the top."
Tamaki chuckled, "My friend, you may know figures and manners, but you do not know women like I do. They love that stuff." He paused to think about the week, "No, it has to be something else. I think she is still jealous of Haruhi because she keeps bringing her up, but I have hardly seen our daughter since Monday. What am I going to do? I am trying to woo the fair maiden and she is caught up on what my relationship may or may not be with Haruhi. That is the reason I cannot go over to Haruhi's house. I don't want to misplace the trust that my angelic Kameko has in me."
"You are going and that is final. If you want, I will talk to your… girlfriend myself next week and explain the whole situation to her."
Clutching his hands together, the blond president threw himself at his best friend, "Oh thank you Mon Ami. You are truly my best friend!"
"Get off of me Tamaki!" Kyoya tried to push him away, but it was difficult in a seated position in a car. This reminded him of the first day he met the idiot. It was only a couple of minutes longer before they were picking up the twins before heading over to Haruhi's apartment for their scheduled "meeting". It was true that Tamaki had set the meeting up, but Kyoya helped to push him in the right direction. Phase one of paybacks was about to start today.
The limo pulled up to the apartment complex and the occupants found a small moving van in front of the building. Looking at the building, it was easy to see that the only door open belonged to Haruhi and Ranka, and Hunny was coming out with a box. When he saw his fellow club members, he rushed to put the box in the truck and grinned widely at the younger hosts, "What are you guys doing here?"
Tamaki and the twins looked confused and Kyoya pushed his glasses up to catch the glare off of the sunlight. Three of the four hosts that had arrived were confused, and Tamaki was somehow voted the spokesperson for the group, "Hunny-senpai, what is going on? Today was our Host Club meeting." He was trying to remain calm and not explode like he normally would. He was losing the fight.
"That was today Tama-Chan? Oh, we thought it was next weekend. Haru-Chan is moving today," the Loli Shota innocently proclaimed.
"MOVING? WHY IS SHE MOVING? Has she and Ranka been evicted? Are they on the run from the Yakuza? Do they owe money to the mob? Does she not love us anymore? Men, we have to save Haruhi!" Tamaki screeched.
Kyoya and Hunny sweat dropped as Kaoru and Hikaru saluted their leader and yelled, "Yes sir!"
"It's nothing like Tama-Chan," Hunny tried to interject.
Tamaki was on a roll, "Men, we don't know at this time that is after her or what is going on, but whatever it is, we must save Ranka and Haruhi from a life of exile. They may be poor, but Haruhi is our friend and we will do everything we can to make sure she is safe. Hikaru, Kaoru, we need to find a secret bunker that we can use to hide Haruhi and her father in!"
"Right boss!" The twins declared together and were about to get on their phones when a very loud yell rent the air.
"WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME?" Hunny screamed trying to get the others attention. When he felt that all eyes were on him, he continued, "Haru-Chan is not running away from anything. Ranka-Chan will be staying here. She is relocating to the Haninozuka estate."
"Why would she do that?" Three voices asked at the same time.
"Because she is moving in with Yasuchika, duh!" Satoshi sneered sarcastically as he and Mori put two more boxes inside the truck.
"What?" Hikaru bellowed.
Kaoru looked around at the faces surrounding him, "This is some kind of joke, right?"
"Joke? No, she is moving into my family's home," Hunny smiled, "We are going to have so much fun too!"
The twins turned to their leader as a final hope, "Boss?" He was a statue and turning an ashy white as they gazed upon him. A wisp of smoke was coming out of his mouth and the twins knew he had lost his soul yet again. Hikaru poked him and he fell over cracking into hundreds of pieces that might have to be glued together in order to get their president back to a whole piece again.
"Why would she do that?" Hikaru growled. He was not going to accept this as the truth, he couldn't.
Tilting his head to the side, Hunny giggled a little, "Well he did give her a ring. My parents said it was ok too!"
"A RING?" The twins chorused together.
"NOT POSSIBLE! MY LITTLE GIRL IS TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED!" Tamaki screamed as he was instantaneously pulled back together. He didn't wait for the others, instead he ran up the stairs leaving a charred trail behind him.
The twins saw their leader take off and ran after him, "Wait for us Tono!"
The trio burst into the house and didn't see Haruhi, only Ranka. Breathing hard, Tamaki begged, "Where is she Ranka? Please don't let her ruin her life like this! From one father to another…"
He didn't get any further when he was thrown against the wall. Falling onto the floor, Ranka kicked him and then stood on top of him, "You want to repeat what you just said worm? I am her one and only father and you are nothing but the dirt beneath my feet. I have given her permission to follow through with everything she is doing and my opinion is the only one that matters. You have no say in her life you ass!"
"Ranka, are you really…" Hikaru started to ask, but could not finish knowing his twin would take up the flame.
Kaoru knew it was difficult for his brother, "Letting Haruhi move in with Chika?"
"Yes, isn't it wonderful? They make such a lovely couple and they complement each other so well," Ranka sighed dreamily before tears started to fall, "My little girl is growing up so fast. Her mother would have loved to see the young lady she has become."
Suddenly the trio heard giggling and it wasn't coming from any of the four hosts that had entered behind them. It was coming from Haruhi's bedroom and the door to said room was closed. What was going on in there? Then the sounds got worse. There was a fall and then a squeak from the bed. Then… was that moaning? Finally they heard, "Oh Chika!" The trio couldn't stand to listen to it any longer and burst into the bedroom without knocking. They didn't know what they would find, but they were certain they would have to rip Chika away from their precious Haruhi.
It turns out that they could have ripped Chika away, but he was doing nothing but tickling Haruhi and giving her raspberries on her belly. Both teens looked up when their time together was interrupted and sat up on the bed. Chika sneered, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Us, you had your hands and mouth all over her!" Hikaru shouted.
Tamaki found himself frozen yet again at seeing Chika straddling Haruhi on her bed with his hands on her before moving and blowing on her stomach. He knew it wasn't what it looked like, but he also believed that Chika was not as innocent as he appeared.
"Snap out of it boss!" Kaoru slapped his blond friend on the back of the head.
Feeling the pain from the slap, Tamaki snapped out of his daze and proclaimed, "Young lady, you are not supposed to have a boy in your room! Yasuchika, you are no longer welcome here and you are no longer allowed to date my daughter!"
Chika glared, "I don't think you have a say in anything. If I remember correctly, Ranka knew I was in here with her and I am allowed to put my hands wherever I want to. It isn't like I haven't done that before." He knew he was being obtuse in his wording and the trio would probably think the worse, but that was all part of the plan.
"And you are not my father! My real dad is in the other room. Besides, Chika gave me a ring so that means extra liberties. Now if you will excuse us, we have to finish packing so that I can get my stuff over to Chika's house by this afternoon. We have a family dinner to attend tonight," Haruhi snapped.
"Wait! This isn't a joke?" Hikaru queried.
"You are really moving in with Chika?" Kaoru probed.
Nodding, Haruhi linked her fingers with those of her boyfriend's and holding up her hand to show off her new ring, "I am."
The twins and Tamaki fainted in the doorway to the bedroom. They weren't prepared for this. Haruhi was too young and had too many dreams to accomplish. Unable to stop the swirling thoughts in their heads, all three had collapsed to the floor and were unconscious.
"Well that went better than expected," Kyoya chuckled from behind the pile of teens.
Haruhi and Chika looked at each other and laughed before Haruhi said, "I guess you're right. Mori-senpai, Satoshi, and Hunny-senpai, can you please help clear the walkway?"
"Sure thing Haru-Chan!" Hunny declared and picked up Kaoru from the top of the pile. Satoshi grabbed Hikaru, and Mori grabbed Tamaki.
"Are you staying to help Kyoya-senpai, or will you be taking the morons home?" Haruhi inquired sweetly already knowing what her friend's answer would be.
Smirking, the Shadow King pushed up his glasses yet again, "You know me too well. I will be escorting them home and then I have some things to work on for the club. Just a small update, I know we were only able to get in one of our conversations, and Haruhi you were able to talk to Tamaki with Kameko there, but apparently she has already started work on her article. The Host Club will reopen on Monday and we should be able to plant some more evidence at that time. I want everyone to be prepared for that."
"Will do. Thanks Kyoya-senpai," the female host gave her natural smile and watched as her friend left the apartment.
Chika poked her in the side and snickered, "Come on, we still need to take the bed apart."
"Right!" Haruhi agreed. It was true that she was going to stay with Chika, but it was only temporary and her stuff needed to be out so that her room could be redecorated courtesy of Atsuko Haninozuka. She really didn't get much of a choice, but color choices and accent pieces; however, it was the perfect opportunity to make it look like so much more than it really was. This was just the beginning.
Across the street from the apartment, Kameko watched everything from the back of a nondescript car. She wished she could hear, but she would settle for looking for now because she was able to catch bits and pieces of the conversation when people yelled like the hosts did. It seemed only about twenty minutes before the twins and Tamaki were being carried down the stairs by three other hosts. What had happened? She figured Chika had been violent again and the trio had paid the price. Part of her felt sorry for them, but part of her thought that Tamaki deserved it for everything he had done to her this past week… really an elephant?
The dirt was piling up and soon enough Haruhi would be taken down. "This is going to be good. No one comes between me and Tamaki… I mean Satoshi." The blond idiot had been around her too much this week and was starting to take over her thoughts. The sooner she got rid of the annoying pest the better. She couldn't have Tamaki skulking around when Satoshi finally fell into her arms after all.
