DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Aphrodite looked down and saw Sai and Genji standing in front of her holding hands.
"What are you doing here Aphro?" they both asked together.
"Uh, uh," Aphrodite sputtered.
"What's Gram going to be mad pissed about?" asked Sai.
"You shouldn't use that language," said Aphrodite.
"Piss, piss, piss, piss," said Genji.
"Shut-up!" said Aphrodite looking towards the opening window.
"Well what are you doing here? And what's going to make Gram so mad?" asked Sai.
"Uh, she's going to be mad, that that mean woman is forcing your mother to marry yet again," said Aphrodite.
"What mean lady?" asked Sai.
"The mean lady who's in Tono's study right now saying that if your mother doesn't marry Tono, she'll kill Tono's mother," said Aphrodite.
"Oh-no!" said Sai, "Come on Genji!" She dragged her brother back to the house. Aphrodite immediately took advantage of the situation and ran like hell to her car and quickly drove off mad down the road.
"You can't kill Tono's mother!" Sai shouted as she ran into Tamaki's study along with Genji. All four adults looked over at her confused.
"Sai honey, what's wrong?" asked Haruhi.
"Mom don't you worry! We'll protect Tono's mother so you don't have to worry about this mean woman killing her!" said Sai glaring at Shizue.
"Young lady how dare you!" said the old woman.
"Sai, what made you think she's going to kill Tamaki's mother?" asked Haruhi.
"Aphro told us," said Sai.
"Aphro? You mean Aphrodite?" asked Haruhi.
"Yeah she's just outside the window," said Sai. Yuzuru immediately got up and looked out the window.
"There's no one there," he said.
"But she was, she was there!" said Sai.
"Sai, Sai calm down," said Haruhi, "It's possibly she made a run for it after you came in here. I'll probably call you Gram later about it. But I can assure you this Mrs. Suoh is not going to kill Miss Anne."
"So then you and Tono aren't going to get married?" asked Sai.
"You, you heard about that?" asked Haruhi.
"Aphro told us that this old crone was going to kills Miss Anne unless you agreed to marry Tono," said Sai.
"Well uh I don't know where you would have thought that Miss Anne was going to be killed, but well Tono are actually going to get married," said Haruhi.
"What?" said Sai.
"Tamaki and I are going to get married when we get back to Japan," said Haruhi.
"But, why?" asked Sai.
"Because they love each other of course," said Shizue. Sai looked at the woman before turning to Tamaki.
"So, Grand Ranka was right about you! You did lure Mom here under the pretence of making her yours you nasty pervert!" she shouted pointing at him mad.
"Pervert, pervert, pervert!" Genji chanted mad pointing at Tamaki as well.
"Both of you stop that right now!" said Haruhi, "You're both being unreliably rude! Go to your rooms right now!"
"Humph!" said Sai grabbing her brother's hand. "Come on Genji; let's go tell Kaito what happened. He can come down and kill Tono for us."
"I'm sorry about that," said Haruhi.
"Well I suppose the children are going to be a little upset about this," said Yuzuru.
Suddenly the door burst opened again and Ichiko ran into the room, throwing herself on to Tamaki.
"Please Tama, please! I like you too much to let you die!" she said crying, "Please tell me you're not going to marry my mother! I know she cares about you too! So please, please don't marry her!"
"Ichiko, Ichiko," said Haruhi as she gently as she carefully pulled her daughter from Tamaki. "Can I talk to you alone for a moment?" She led her daughter upstairs to her room.
"Honey sit down," said Haruhi as she led Ichiko to the bed, "Now I want you to listen me carefully. You're my oldest child, and you've become quite the woman in all these years you've had to suffer because of what's been happing to us. That's why I really need to tell you this. The thing is I do care about Tamaki a lot and so does he, but that's not the reason we're getting married. We're getting married because his grandmother wants us too. She wants me to be the mother of Tamaki's child so the Suoh family can have an heir. She says that if I do marry Tamaki, Tamaki can have all the money and help he'll need to make the newer park back home, plus his mother could finally come home with him. However if I don't, she's going to cut off Tamaki financially and that means there may not be enough money to support his mother and her medical needs to the point she might die."
"So that's what's going on?" asked Ichiko. Haruhi nodded her head.
"I knew I could tell you since you're my oldest," she said.
"So then what does that really mean?" asked Ichiko.
"It means that we're going to have to make the best of this situation and try and be brave. I'm also going to need your help to try and control your brothers and sisters over this. They might not understand this the same way you could because you're so grown up. Can I count on you for that?" asked Haruhi as she hugged her.
"Yes Momma, I'm going to do what I can to help," said Ichiko.
"Thank you honey," said Haruhi.
"Momma?" asked Ichiko.
"You remember how you said that when you married Dad Kaoru it might be different because you got pregnant with Genji before you got married?" said Ichiko, "Do you think because you're marry Tama in a different way, do you think might work out differently this time?"
"Maybe, we can only hope," said Haruhi.
"…and so that's the deal," said Tadao explaining the situation to the other staff.
"This is insane!" said Yuu, "At least when Miss Haruhi married her husbands she did it out of love!"
"Be that as it may, this is Miss Haruhi's choice and we should do what we can to support her in this," said Tadao.
"Well, let's hope then that this time it actually works out her," said Mao.
"Are you suggesting then that the only way she won't have a husband die on her is if she's force to marry him?" snapped Yuu.
"Yuu please," said Tadao, "This is hard on Miss Haruhi, Master Tamaki and the children as it is. Let's not add to it by fighting among ourselves please."
"Sorry," said Yuu.
"And just so you know, there's going to be another person joining our staff after this," said Tadao nodding towards Andre who was standing nearby.
"You mean he's coming back to Japan with us!" said Yuu.
"Wee-Wee Madam," said Andre winking at her. Hayao, Yoka, and Mao all smirked at each other.
"Ranka, are you getting packed all right?" asked Anne-Sophie walking into his room. She found him standing next to the window just looking out at it.
"You know what I really hated about your son?" he asked not turning around, "It's that I saw so much of me in him that I was always worried that if he was ever the one that married my Haruhi, I'd be completely replaced in her life, unlike the others. With the others I didn't feel threatened that I'd be completely replaced."
"Oh I don't think you'd ever be completely replaced in your daughter's life Ranka," said Anne-Sophie. Ranka smiled at her.
"Even still, I wouldn't want them to get married like this. I'd want them to marry out of love first and foremost like all her other marriages. I would have more or less gone along with it as long as that was the case," said Ranka.
"Well I think they do love each other and maybe they would have eventually gotten to each other," said Anne-Sophie.
"Well too late now. What's going to happen is going to happen," said Ranka, "Although I will admit, I'm happy you and I are going to be able to still see each other more once we get to Japan."
"I'm looking forward to that too," said Anne-Sophie.
The plane ride home was extremely tense. Hardly anyone said anything or did anything to make small talk.
"Once we get to Japan, I want you to really make sure you make your engagement to Miss Fujioka as public as possible," said Shizue finally as they neared their destination.
"Uh Yes Grandmother," said Tamaki.
"And above all else, you two must always look like a happy couple in public," said Shizue.
"Yes Grandmother," said Tamaki.
"Yes Ma'am," said Haruhi.
"And that goes for you five as well," said Shizue looking at the kids, "I expect you always act happy in public after my grandson officially purposes to your mother and they marry understood. Any negative thoughts and emotion you can save it for when you're in the private of your home."
"And why should we? You're not our great-grandmother!" said Sai.
"Not yet, but soon I will be and you will fine it's best to just go along with what it is I say," said Shizue. Sai looked like she was about to say more, but Ichiko reached over and smacked her upside the head.
"Shut-up!" Ichiko hissed.
"Fine," said Sai.
"Well we're landing," said Yuzuru finally. The minute the plane was on the ground and the group had barley step out of the plane, they realized the runway was jammed packed with reporters.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Tamaki.
"I told you, you're suppose to make your engagement as public as possible," said Shizue.
"But I don't even have an engagement ring," said Tamaki, only to suddenly feel a ring box in his hand.
"Mr. Suoh is it true you're only returning to Japan to marry Ms. Fujioka?" one reporter shouted out.
"Uh…," said Tamaki.
"Yes that's true, right Tamaki?" said Shizue shoving Haruhi towards him.
"Uh right," said Tamaki as he gently took Haruhi's hand. "Haruhi Fujioka, will you marry me?" Haruhi looked out at the reporters then at Tamaki. She could see Shizue standing behind him staring at her.
"Yes, yes I will," she said. She let Tamaki put the ring on her finger and smiled through the whole time.
"How about a kiss?" asked another reporter.
"Yes Tamaki, a kiss would be a wonderful idea," Shizue pushing Tamaki closer to Haruhi. Tamaki took a deep breath and pulled Haruhi closer and kissed her right then and there.
"Ah Jesus, Aphrodite was right. The God Damn Old Bitch is making them get married!" said Mrs. Hitachiin as she watched on TV. "I can't let this happen. I didn't after Hikaru died and I'm not going to let now after Kaoru's dead too!"
She wasn't the only one that was watching the scene with disgust.
"I thought it was over after the death of her stupid excuse for a fifth husband was taken care of. But now she's marrying again! Even if she's being forced which I'm positive she is, there's still no one better for her then my son! I may have to convince her of that again," said Yoshio bitterly.
"Um...Sir."
"Um...Madam"
"LEAVE ME!" Yoshio and Mrs. Hitachiin both yelled at the same time.
