DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN OR MAID SAMA IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Akiye shifted her eyes back and forth between her parents as the two of them sat on either side of the breakfast table, her mother glaring at her father.
Gen seemed to realize her parents weren't happy either as she too seemed to be constantly looking back and forth between the two of them.
"You know I never realized how big a bed we have in the guest room," said Takumi.
"Hmm, really," said Misaki not even looking at him.
"It' can make a person feel really lonely at night," said Takumi.
"I bet," said Misaki.
Takumi sighed.
"Misaki…," he said.
"I have to go to work," she said as she stood up quickly, "Akiye I'm sure you have to get ready for school, Kako's probably on her way here to get you."
"Y, yes Mom," said Akiye as she got up from the table.
"It's very nice that's willing to come get you every day for school, make sure you thank you to her," said Misaki.
"I will," said Akiye as she walked to the door just as there was a knock.
"Hello?" said Akiye as she opened the door.
"Hello Akiye,"
"Oh Uncle Gerald," said Akiye staring at he Uncle standing in front of her.
"What?" said Misaki as she came to the door.
"Hello Misaki," said Gerald.
"Oh Gerald, you're here," said Misaki.
"Nice to see you too," said Gerald.
He looked downed at Akiye.
"So off to your new school huh Akiye?" asked Gerald.
"Yes I should get going, the limo's probably here," said Akiye.
"Oh so that limo downstairs is for you huh?" said Gerald.
"Yes and my cousin's probably waiting for me, good-by Uncle Gerald, good-by Mommy, Good-by Daddy," said Akiye as she quickly ran past him and to the elevator.
"So is she doing well in the new school?" asked Gerald.
"Yes she's doing fine, excuse me!" said Misaki as she tried to move past Gerald.
"You're leaving without saying good-by?" asked Takumi walking up to the door.
"Good-by," said Misaki as she pushed past Gerald and also walked back to the elevator.
Gerald looked at his brother.
"So it seems you and Misaki are having some problems?" he said.
"None of your business," said Takumi walking into the apartment.
"Touchy aren't we?" said Gerald following him in. He looked over a Gen still sitting in her high chair.
"Oh little Gen, you're getting so big," he said.
Gen just stared at his with a couscous look.
"Why is she staring at me like that?" asked Gerald.
"She probably doesn't know you that well and is uncomfortable being around you," said Takumi as he gathered up the breakfast dishes.
"Why are you the one doing the clean up, can't you ever get a maid?" asked Gerald.
"Misaki and I don't want a maid, we don't want one," said Takumi as he picked Gen up and out her into the playpen.
"I wonder what the media would think if they knew the next head of the Suoh Family was doing his own cleaning," said Gerald with a chuckle. Then he gave a sigh.
"If only grandfather was here now, he'd be happy to know you were worth something after all," he said.
"Thanks," said Takumi as he continued his cleaning.
"I'm happy to know you're not a complete burden on the family," said Gerald.
"You're welcome," said Takumi.
"And you would not believe all the people who are trying to now get in league with our family because we have a Suoh heir. In fact we're I'm due to be having lunch with some one from the Igarashi Family, Tora Igarashi, do you know him?" asked Gerald.
Takumi slammed one his dishes into the sink.
"Yes, I'm familiar with him," he said.
"And you know, I heard he has two sons that are close to Akiye's age," said Gerald. Takumi gripped a towel in his hand.
"And you know, now that she's a member of a more prestigious family, and in line for the title as head of the family, it wouldn't hurt to maybe look into getting a marriage arrange for her to someone from anther prestigious family. And I for one think it might be very nice to think about arranging marriage between her and son one of prestigious family like the Igarashis…," said Gerald.
"NO!" Takumi snapped turning around and looking at his brother. Gerald looked at him surprise.
"There is no way I will ever allow one of Tora Igarashi's sons near my daughter!" said Takumi.
"Okay," said Gerald, "It was just a suggestion, I'm sorry. I take it you're not too found of Tora Igarashi?"
"No I don't care for the man," said Takumi.
"Oh that's too bad I heard the man is going to be at your welcoming party," said Gerald.
"Oh great!" said Takumi and turning around back to the sink.
"What do you have against the Igarashi Family?" asked Gerald.
"I don't have anything against Igarashis, just Tora," said Takumi.
"Kako, are you really okay after what happen?" asked Akiye as the two made their way to their class room.
"Yeah, I'm sorry you'll never get to really know your grandfather," said Kako.
"It's okay, I still have our grandfather, he's nice," said Akiye.
"Hey Akiye," said Kimi running up to her, "Guess what, I know where to get the perfect necklace to go with your dress, want to come with me after school to get it?"
"Uh sure," said Akiye.
"Cool, you can come too Kako," said Kimi.
"Okay," said Kako.
"Yasu why are you coming with us?" asked Kako as the group walked down the jewelry store.
"I figured you ladies could use a male escort," said Yasu.
"Then why did you come?" said Kimi.
"Hey," said Yasu.
"I think its sweet you came Yasu," said Akiye.
Yasu smiled at her.
Kimi and Kako looked at each other.
"Say uh why don't you two wait out here while Kako and go inside and get the necklace," said Kimi.
"Huh, why?" asked Yasu.
"Because, because," stammered Kimi.
"Because we want the necklace to be a complete surprise for Akiye," said Kimi as the two girls quickly ran into the house.
Yasu and Akiye both looked at each other.
"Are they always like this?" asked Akiye.
"Only when they're planning something," said Yasu, "Hey look at that dress." He pointed to big green dress in a nearby store window.
"Look at that, it's so gaudy," said Yasu.
"Yeah it's not that great looking," said Akiye.
"I could almost think what my dad or uncle would say about this, or my grandmother," said Yasu, "They probably say something like, "Who would want to look like broccoli?""
Akiye giggled.
"No, I think a person would look more like a bush wearing this!" she said.
Yasu laughed.
"That's a good one!" he said.
"Is that you Akiye Usui,?"
The two turned around to see two boys similar to their age standing behind them wearing some fancy uniforms that looked similar to Ouran's but belong to a different school.
"It is you Akiye Usui," said one.
"Or is it Akiye Suoh," said the other.
"Who are these guys?" asked Yasu.
"Hayate and Nobu Igarashi at your service," said Nobu as both boys took a bow.
"Igarashi?" said Akiye timidly. She remembered her dad telling her things about them.
"What's with your uniforms do you guys go to that stupid school Miyabigaoka or something?" asked Yasu.
"As matter fact we do," said Hayate.
"Yeah well you know that they say about students at Miyabigaoka, they only go there because they couldn't get into Ouran!" said Yasu with a smirk.
Both brothers glared at him before turning back to Akiye.
"We are glad we ran into you thought Miss Suoh," said Hayate.
"Oh, why?" asked Akiye.
"We heard that our father had lunch today with your uncle today," said Nobu.
"My uncle?" said Akiye.
"Your Uncle Gerald from England," said Nobu.
"Oh him," said Akiye.
"Yeah and guess what he said, he said your uncle said that he would very much like it if you were to one day marry one us," said Nobu.
"What?" said Akiye and Yasu.
Your uncle said that he thinks you marry one of us will be the best for both our families and our father agreed with him," said Hayate.
"M, married?" said Akiye.
"Yep, one day you could wind up marrying one of us," said Nobu.
"But, but," said Akiye.
"We have to go, we'll see you at the party our future wife?" said Hayate as both bowed and walked away.
"I going to marry one of them?" said Akiye.
"She's going to have to marry one of them?" said Yasu.
"Daddy, Daddy!" said Akiye as she came running into her apartment.
"What's wrong honey?" asked Takumi.
"I ran into these two weird boys named Nobu and Hayate Igarashi today," said Akiye.
"Igarashi?" said Takumi.
"Yeah and they said that Uncle Gerald apparently spoke to their father today about me marrying one of them some day!" said Akiye.
"Oh did he?" said Takumi, "After I told him no. I'm going to kill him!"
