DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Original Idea By: twilighttween ALICE aka Grayson's Gal
"Well here you all are," said Alice walking into the storage room. She looked around and saw that all of the hosts were holding a photo in their hands. "Going through some old memories are we?"
"As a matter of fact yes," said Kaoru, "Found a bunch of Ei's mom's old high school photos."
"I see," said Alice, "I just came down to inform you that it appears as if though some of the other children may be getting adopted by the other people who were looking to adopt Ei."
"Oh really?" said Tamaki sounding really happy at the idea, "And who are these lucky children?"
"Oh it's actually three of Ei's roommates," said Alice, "Masami, Aoi and possibly Raiko."
"What do you mean possibly?" asked Ei.
"Well Mrs. Tonnerre wants to discuss the matter of adopting Ei with her husband and have him come back from France to meet the girl in person, but from what I can tell it could very well happen," said Alice.
"Good," said Ei, "But what about Masami and Aoi?"
"Oh there's nothing to really worry about those two. They're probably going to be my first two cases when I officially become the new social worker," said Alice.
"Wonderful, wonderful to hear!" said Tamaki.
"My dear lady may I ask you a question?" asked Kyoya, "Do you know anything about this woman?"
He showed the photo of Haruhi with her so called old friend from Fukuoka that worked with her in the law office.
"No I'm afraid I don't why?" asked Alice.
"I was just wondering if maybe possibly she might know if her mother left any plans for Ei should something happen to her," said Kyoya.
"I have no idea. That would have been something Gari would have had to look over and knowing him he probably didn't dig too deep into finding anything along that line. It happens quite often actually when a child is truly orphaned like Ei was for a while," Alice explained.
"Well hopefully that will stop once you take over huh?" said Kaoru.
"Hopefully," said Alice, "I also hope that if Ei's mother left anything about what she wished to have happen to Ei seeing as how your guys are so close now to finally getting custody of Ei."
"Yes," said Kyoya, "I think I shall go ahead and possibly see this woman and Haruhi's old law firm in general just to be on the safe side. You don't know if the law office she worked out of here in Tokyo had anything?"
"No I'm afraid it didn't," said Alice, "That one I did inquire to personally. I didn't really know about the Fukuoka law office personally."
"Very well," said Kyoya, "I'll head Fukuoka first thing in the morning, just to make sure we have all our eggs in one basket."
"Do you know if your mommy ever said anything about what was going to happen to you Ei-Chan if something happened to her?" asked Hunny. Ei shook her head no.
"I always assumed I'd just stay with Grandpa, but then he had to die too," said Ei.
"Oh there, there Ei," said Tamaki hugging the poor girl. He was startled when a photo accidentally fell on his head.
"How did that get out?" asked Ei picking it up.
"What is it?" asked Hikaru.
"It's a picture of Grandfather," said Ei holding it up for all to see Ranka in his full on drag. Both Hikaru and Kaoru snickered.
"Even in death Ranka still won't give the boss any peace will he?" they both said.
"Huh?" said Ei.
"It's nothing!" said Tamaki.
"We'll tell you later," Hikaru promised in a whisper, before moving over to Kyoya.
"Kyoya, I want to go with you," he said.
"Why?" asked Kyoya.
"I know we have the DNA test that proved I'm Ei's father, but I want to see if Haruhi said anything about me being Ei's father. If she really knew it was me and maybe have a real reason why she didn't tell me about her," said Hikaru.
"If that's what you wish, you may come," said Kyoya.
"So what's her name again?" asked Hikaru as he and Kyoya walked down to hallway of the law office in Fukuoka.
"Oki Ishoku," said Kyoya right before knocking at the woman's office door.
"Come in," called out the woman from the other side of the door.
"Hello Mrs. Ishoku?" said Kyoya walking in with Hikaru, "I'm Mr. Ohtori and this is Mr. Hitachiin."
"Oh yes I got your phone call. Come in please have a seat," said Oki motioning to the seats, "I was quite surprised you wanted to come and talk to me about Haruhi Fujioka. You do know that woman works at the branch of our law office in Tokyo right?"
"You mean you don't know?" asked Hikaru.
"Know what?" asked Oki.
"Haruhi's dead," said Kyoya. The look on the woman's face showed she had not heard that news before now.
"Are you serious?!" she asked.
"I'm afraid so," said Kyoya.
"What happened?!" asked Oki.
"There was a car accident where her, her father and her father's friend were all killed," said Kyoya.
"Well what happened to Ei?!" asked Oki.
"That's what we're here to discuss with you about," said Kyoya, "You see we are in the process of being adopted and…, "
"Oh really, Well it always nice to know a gay couple can at least adopt in this country, "said Oki.
"Actually it's a bit more complicated then that," said Kyoya, "However, despite all that, we were wondering if you knew of anything Haruhi may have mentioned or written down anything about what she wished to have happen to her daughter should something happen to her that my jeopardize our chances?"
"Uh yes, she gave me some documents in regards to Ei. I can go get them for you," said Oki.
"Thank you very much," said Kyoya. The woman quickly headed out.
"I wonder Haruhi put," said Hikaru, "Do you think she mentioned anything about me?"
"We shall find out," said Kyoya.
"So just out of curiosity, if we were a real gay couple, who do you, think would be the so called man in the relationship?" asked Hikaru.
"Do you really need to ask?" asked Kyoya looking at him sternly.
"Right, right sorry," said Hikaru, "how come you never take me out to dinner anymore honey?"
Just then Oki came back in with two folders.
"I have everything here," she said, "This folder was for her daughter upon the girl's 18th birthday and this was her will saying what she'd want to have happen to her daughter in the event of her death."
"What does it say?" asked Hikaru eagerly.
"It says that Ei would be given into custody of her grandfather Ryoji Fujioka," said Oki.
"Oh, well we all know that can't happen now huh?" said Hikaru.
"Was there anything else?" asked Kyoya.
"Well there," Oki kept reading, "Should her father pass away before Ei is a legal adult that this envelope for her daughter shall be opened and she also wishes for the people in charge of her daughter contact the person she mentions in it."
"What does it talk about?" asked Hikaru.
"It talks about Ei's real father apparently. Haruhi asked me to never read it but she told me about he contents of it," said Oki.
"Let me see!" Hikaru demanded snatching the envelop and tearing it open. Inside were a bit of different documents with information on Hikaru and his own family. One of them was a letter in Haruhi's hand writing. It read;
This is a confession of Haruhi Fujioka in regards to my daughter Ei Fujioka and her father. I will like to go on record in saying that my old time friend Hikaru Hitachiin is the girl's father. However I have up until this point not told him. The reasons being that, he doesn't remembering fathering my daughter, according to his brother Kaoru Hitachiin whom I do honestly trust not to lie about something like this. It's along those lines for the other reason why I didn't say anything else to her and Hikaru. Having not knowing that Hikaru had lost his memories about me and him together I thought it meant it he didn't care we had been together when he never tried to talk to me about it. So like a hot headed fool that I was always around, I took it out on all my friends by cutting off all ties to them before even realizing I was pregnant. When I worked up the courage to tell him about it, I found out about his accident and why he didn't remember us together. I felt so ashamed that I had cut him and my friends out like I did after that, that I lost my nerve to tell him and if you're reading this letter it means I never did. I apologize to Ei and to her father. If she's reading this at the age of 18, it's her choice what she wants to do about it. However if this is because both me and my father are gone, I want him contact post haste to see if there's any chance he can take care of Ei. I'm asking for that because I don't wish to Ei to be left all alone, not because I want any part of his family's wealth and or legacy. I just want to know Ei will be taken care of. If for some reason Ei's father does not want her in his life I would also like but not insist to see if any of my other former friends, Tamaki Suoh, Kyoya Ohtori, Mitsukuni Haninozuka and or Takashi Morinozuka possibly take her in, again just to make sure she's not left alone in the world.
Sincerely Haruhi Fujioka
Hikaru took a deep breath before handing Kyoya the letter. Kyoya read it over before handed it over Oki herself.
"Does this mean your Ei's father or something?" asked Oki after looking over the note.
"Yes I am, we figured that out on our own," said Hikaru, "And at least we can see to it that Haruhi get's her wish in regards to making Ei's not left alone in the world."
"Thank you for your time Madam," said Kyoya.
"You will make sure Ei's taken care of right?" Oki asked as the two men walked out of her office.
"Oh you need not worry about it. We already have that covered," Kyoya assured her.
"I would have forgiven her," Hikaru said as he and Kyoya drove home, "If she came back."
"Would you have, really?" asked Kyoya.
"I like to think so," said Hikaru, "Especially if she had told me she was pregnant with Ei."
"Are you sure?" asked Kyoya, "I can't help but think that she might have stilled feared your temper about all of this. You were pretty mad when she left." Hikaru sighed looking out the window of his car.
"Well in either case you shouldn't worry about it," said Kyoya. "After all we honoring Haruhi's final wishes, in regards to Ei. She's not going to be alone in the world anymore."
"Yeah, Ei's never going to be left alone again," said Hikaru with a smile.
"Ei, are you ready for this?" Alice asked on the new court date for when a judge would finally allow Ei to go with the hosts.
"Yeah I think so," said Ei holding the director's hand tight. She was wearing the same black dress she was given to by the twins the first time she met them on the day she was suppose to be finally given in custody to the hosts.
"Nothing weird is going to happen today is it?"
"I like to say no, but it there's one thing that can be expected from these guys it's that you can never tell what's going to happen," said Alice as she led Ei into the actual courtroom. She took Ei to the front and had her sit down next to her across from where the hosts were all sitting with their lawyer once again.
"Hi Ei-Chan!" Hunny called over to her.
"Hi," Ei waved back happily. Soon the judge came in and the case got started.
"Would the six gentlemen please stand?" asked the judge. The six hosts all stood up.
"I will address you all as a group then ask each of you to respond individually," instructed the judge, "Is that understood?"
"Yes your honor," said six men.
"Do you men promise to care for, love and see to the wellbeing of Ei Fujioka, from this point on and will be responsible for her until she is of legal age, Mitsukuni Haninozuka?"
"I do your honor,"
"Hikaru Hitachiin?"
"I do your honor,"
"Kaoru Hitachiin?"
"I do your honor,"
"Takashi Morinozuka?"
"I do your honor,"
Kyoya Ohtori?"
"I do your honor,"
"And Tamaki Suoh?"
"I do your honor,"
"Very well, you six men have all agreed to care for and raise the girl together, are there any objections?"
"No your honor," said Alice.
"Very well I therefore award Ei Fujioka into the custody of Mitsukuni Haninozuka, Hikaru Hitachiin, Kaoru Hitachiin, Takashi Morinozuka, Kyoya Ohtori and Tamaki Suoh from this day forward." With that the judge banged her gavel, "Case dismissed."
"Yay we did it!" said Hunny happily. He didn't wait for anyone else as he ran over and hugged Ei tight, "We did it Ei-Chan now we get to take you home!"
"It won't be until tomorrow after Ei's things have been finally gathered up," said Alice.
"We can wait one more day!" said Tamaki scooping Ei up and twirling her around, "Can't we Ei?!"
"Sure," said Ei happily.
"We're all very happy about this Ei," said Kyoya.
"What about you Ei, are you happy with all of this?" asked Kaoru.
"Yeah I think so," she said. Then she saw Hikaru, "You're not ever going to regret giving up being my dad?"
Hikaru responded by lifting her up into her arms.
"No Ei I won't ever," Hikaru assured her. "You see Ei, I may be your father, but us, all six of us, are now and always be your dad."
