DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORME
"Are you sure about this?" asked Kaoru as he Haruhi and Hikaru walked towards Rai's room.
"Yes, I'm sure," said Haruhi even though Kaoru would feel her hand griping his really tight.
"You don't have to do this," he said.
"No, I want to see the looks on their faces when they find out that they have no hold on me now and forever!" said Haruhi.
"Yeah me too," said Hikaru dangling his phone in his hand. "It'll make a great picture."
"That's not the only reason you came is it?" asked Haruhi.
"No, seriously Haruhi, I did come to offer support," said Hikaru as the three of them arrived in front of Rai's door. Haruhi was about to knock but stopped suddenly. They could hear Aneko and Rai arguing loudly.
"You guys don't think I'm being petty do you?" she asked.
"Any more then what they tried to do with the news reporters," said Hikaru.
"Well here goes nothing," said Haruhi knocking at the door.
"Come in," called out Aneko sounding mad. Haruhi took a deep breath and slowly open the door. Rai lay in his bed, most of his bandages almost gone, with Aneko sitting in a near by chair arguing loudly and not noticing her.
"I thought you had gotten sweet on that Komitsuzawa guy!" said Rai.
"Yeah well he's broke. Apparently some other big name company went and bought out his family's business! They have nothing any more!" shouted Aneko.
"Oh great, and meanwhile you don't even have a job!" said Rai.
"I can't go out and look for one because I'm stuck here all day looking after you!"
"I don't need you here all day looking after me," said Rai.
"Yeah sure," said Aneko.
"What we need it money to pay the bill!" said Rai.
"Which is why we need your daughter. Haruhi will either pay us to give her back or if we keep custody of her, we can guilt trip her into paying us to help with Kotoko's needs. Trust me this will work!" said Aneko.
"You never learn do you?" said Haruhi. Both Rai and Aneko jumped.
"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Aneko. Rai just glared.
"I've told you before that you're never allowed to come near Kotoko!" said Haruhi.
"Well maybe we don't think that Kotoko's safe being around you with guys that can do something like this to Rai, right Rai?" said Aneko. Rai just glared.
"It's none of business who Kotoko's around!" said Haruhi.
"Oh really, we shouldn't care who Kotoko's around?" said Aneko.
"You never did before," said Haruhi. "And anyway yes the two of you never have to worry about Kotoko, not that you ever did. That's what I've come to talk to you about." She took a deep breath. "I always thought Rai was the father of my daughter merely because he was the only one I ever remember sleeping with around the time I got pregnant with her, but turns out I was wrong. Shortly before Rai and I did it, I was at a party and got a little drunk with another man and the two of us wound up having sex. I didn't remember it because I was under the influence. But recently I figured it out and found out that the man I slept with is the real father of Kotoko not you Rai!" Aneko and Rai stared at her with their mouth open wide.
"Perfect!" said Hikaru as he and Kaoru both suddenly came and stood next to Haruhi, and Hikaru snapped the picture.
"What do you mean I'm not her father?" said Rai reaching for a pair of crutches neat his bed.
"Rai, stop!" said Aneko as she came and stood next to him. Rai pushed her away pulled himself up on the crutches.
"You've been lying to me this whole time!" said Rai as he hobbled over to Haruhi.
"I wouldn't say lie, more like misinformed," said Haruhi. "I had no idea at the time I found out I was pregnant that there was another person that could be the father."
"I've wasted five years of my life on that little brat! Five years I'll never get back!" said Rai.
"If you think those years were wasted, you're more of an idiot then we thought!" said Hikaru and Kaoru. Rai glared at them.
"I don't suppose one of theme's the real father," he said.
"Yes," said Haruhi.
"Which one?" asked Rai.
"It's none of your business, nothing about me is anymore! I knew you would have used Kotoko to try and keep mooching off of me, but now you don't even have that. So why don't both of you do something nice for me for once and never bother me or my daughter again!" said Haruhi.
"Why should I do any thing nice to you after all you've done to me? Five years of having to provide for some stupid kid that wasn't even mine the whole time!" said Rai.
"What providing, you never did any providing! All you did was sit on the couch all day snacking or go out to hang out with your buddies! I doubt you'd even notice if Kotoko was around or not," said Haruhi. Rai glared, but slowly an evil looking smile appeared on his face.
"But I'm sure a loving mother like would notice it your precious dumb kid wasn't around wouldn't you?" he said.
"What are you talking about?" asked Haruhi, feeling a little bit nervous.
"Oh you know, someone might think that a dumb kid shouldn't be allowed to exist and take it upon themselves to rid the world of this stupid burden?" said Rai.
"What, Rai you wouldn't!" shouted Haruhi.
"Wouldn't do what, it's like you said she's not my daughter. Why should I care what happens to her?" said Rai. Suddenly a fist appeared out of nowhere and smacked Rai across the face, causing him to stumble a little. Rai looked over and saw one of the twins punching one of his hands with another.
"You have no idea how long I've been waiting to do that!" said Kaoru. He grabbed Rai by the collar of his shirt and shoved him against the wall.
"Hey!" shouted Aneko.
"Hey take it easy buddy, I'm injured!" said Rai.
"Well good thing you're in a hospital then isn't it?" said Kaoru.
"Are you kidding? The longer I stay here, the bigger my bill's going to be!" said Rai.
"Sounds like a personal problem to me," said Hikaru.
"All right enough, I've said what I needed to say. Let's go and never give these awful people another thought," said Haruhi, "Come on Kaoru."
"Kaoru wasn't that the one I saw you with at the mall the day Rai first came here?" said Aneko. "I bet ya he's the real father!"
"Are you?" said Rai glaring at him.
"Maybe, or maybe I'm just the now concern uncle that doesn't want to see anything to happen to my niece! I bet it's real frustrating for you not knowing which one of us is the real father. Which one of us was the one that caused you to have to waste those five otherwise useless years of your life!" said Kaoru. Rai glared even harder.
"You know, I never liked ever since I first saw you!" he said.
"The feelings mutual!" said Kaoru. "Now before you go and try doing the world a favor by ridding it of "stupid" kids, you might want to remember what it was that got you dumped in here in the first place. Because I can honestly guarantee you that if you did try and come thorough with your little threat of wanting to rid the world of dumb kids, you will be begging for what it was that happen to you last time. That is if you're given enough time to beg!" Rai glare turned to a look of fear.
"That's right, you just keep remembering that little detail before you try and do this apparent good deed towards the world!" said Kaoru as he went and moved back to Haruhi and Hikaru, both he and Hikaru taking one of Haruhi's hands.
"Well here's hoping that this will be the last time we ever see you two losers! Good luck with that bill!" said Hikaru as the three of them turned and left.
"So that's it? You won't even apologies to Rai for leading him on for all the five years about him being Kotoko's father?" said Aneko. The three all stopped.
"You're right," said Haruhi, as she and the twins all turned around. "I'm sorry I ever agreed to marry you and let you near my daughter, even when I still thought you were her father!" And that was the last she said to them before she and her friends all walked out of the room together.
"Hey check it out, I even got a picture of their reaction to your apology Haruhi!" said Hikaru showing her.
"Nice," said Haruhi, not really looking at the picture.
"Well at least we got one hard confession out of the way," said Kaoru.
"One?" said Haruhi.
"Well it may not be so hard for you, but something tells me the boss isn't going to be fine with me when we finally tell him what I did to you. Even if it means I'm Kotoko's real father," said Kaoru.
"Oh," said Haruhi.
"So you and Haruhi both got drunk, slept together and then up and ditched her the next morning! Name me one good reason why I shouldn't just go ahead and strangle you to death right now!" shouted Tamaki as he grabbed Kaoru by the throat.
"Because if you do, I'll strangle you to death!" said Hikaru appearing behind Tamaki, catching him in a chokehold.
"Well you three knock it off!" shouted Haruhi. All three stopped shaking each other and looked over at her.
"Honestly you're all acting childish!" said Haruhi.
"But Haruhi," said Tamaki, as he let go of Kaoru and Hikaru let go of him. "How can you forgive him for doing such dumb and terrible thing?" said Tamaki.
"Calm down Tamaki. Yes it was kind of stupid, but he had is reasons and it's not like he had any way of knowing what was going to happen after he left," said Haruhi.
"You're more forgiving than I am Haruhi. I don't think I could ever forgive someone for doing something to stupid to me," said Tamaki glaring at Kaoru.
"Oh come on Tamaki, it's not like you've ever done something stupid to me or anyone else here," said Haruhi.
"What, name one stupid thing I might have done to any one here?" said Tamaki. A suddenly silence felled the room as everyone stared at Tamaki making him gulp.
"Tamaki some of us have more important things to rather then sit here and list all the stupid things you ever done to us for the rest of out lives," said Kyoya, causing Tamaki to retreat to his rejection corner.
"Looks like someone's in time out again," said Hikaru.
"But still, it wasn't a very noble thing you did Kaoru," said Kyoya.
"Yeah, it's not something I'm really proud of," said Kaoru looking ashamed as he sat back down next to Haruhi.
"We all make mistakes Kaoru. It's just important to learn from them," said Haruhi. Kaoru smiled and nodded.
"Well if Haru-Chan forgives you then so do I Kao-Chan!" said Hunny. Mori nodded his head.
"So what does this mean for the two of you anyway?" asked Kyoya.
"Well, we were all ready kind of starting a relationship. So I guess we can just sort of keep going and see what happens. I'd like to think we have a future together even before we found out I was Kotoko's father," said Kaoru.
"Yeah, me too," said Haruhi placing her hand on top of Kaoru's both smiling brightly.
"There is that other matter isn't there, telling Kotoko the truth?" said Kyoya.
"Yeah, we know. We haven't yet because we're trying to find the best way to tell her," said Kaoru. "News like this you can't just spring onto a child like that."
"Well if you need help, just let us know. In the mean time it's getting late and the weather looks like its getting bad. We should all get home," said Kyoya. Everyone looked out of the window and saw dark clouds forming. Kaoru looked over at Haruhi, who only looked annoyed at the dark clouds rather then nervous like before.
Later that night, Haruhi looked out of the window watching the rain, not really seeming to bother about the thunder and lighting. She suddenly felt a pair of arms warp around her.
"You okay?" asked Kaoru.
"Yeah, I'm okay," said Haruhi, gently pushing Kaoru's arm off of her and taking one of his hands into hers.
"When and how did you get over your fear of thunder?" asked Kaoru as the two of them walked over to the bed.
"Let's just say living with Rai help me find other things to be more scared of," said Haruhi sitting down on the bed. Kaoru sighed as he came and sat next to her. He took her chin in his hand and looked into her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I really am Haruhi," he said before he kissed her.
"I know you are Kaoru," said Haruhi as Kaoru kissed her again. She slowly laid down on the bed with Kaoru looming over her, still kissing her.
"We still have to figure out how to Kotoko the truth," said Haruhi.
"Hmm, I've been thinking about that and I wanted to ask you something. Would it be okay with you if I told Kotoko myself, alone?" asked Kaoru. "I have a way of wanting to do it." Haruhi thought about it for a moment.
"If you really think it'll be okay, then yes, you can tell her," she said.
"Thanks Haruhi," said Kaoru as he leaned down and started kissing her again.
