A/N: SURPRISE! It is a double chapter! But, I am sorry for leaving you guys all hanging on so long. A note about the story though, I probably messed up the POV thing again like I did in the earlier chapters. Sorry if that makes it harder for you all to read. x.x *Author seems to have a difficult time figuring out the confusing things known as POVs, and then again it does not help when said author goes back and forth between two devices.*

Either way, enjoy the chapter!

Haruhi's POV

Just before we left the airport though, and while Anne-Sophie was not looking, I sent Kyoya a quick text to let him know that I was leaving the meeting site and that I would be arriving there in a bit. That only took me a few seconds to do, but Kyoya confirmed that they were still waiting for us to return. However, they had all decided to follow Sora to the music room that they had. I silently laughed at that.

We finally reached the limo. I was actually quite eager to start our business conversation, as it also appeared that Anne-Sophie wanted to do so as well.

"If I may be so direct, Haruhi, what is this business you wished to discuss with me in person?" The young woman asked.

"Ah! The business. I recently have been going through a few of my mother's law firm cases that she had defended or how she constructed other contracts with other people. I had originally decided to scan them onto a laptop so that I could have an electronic copy of them as well, in case something ever happened to the originals. It was around two weeks ago when I was doing your copy. It caught my eye really. Were the Suoh's aware of when your family's company started to fail?" I asked.

"The Suoh's had actually found someone to come over and do our book work for us on a monthly basis. So, they were probably well aware of it before we were." Anne-Sophie stated.

"Hm. That is strange then. But, after that, did you ever try to contact a Tsuji?"

"No, we never. It was at that time that the Suoh's had just told us that they would just buy out the company for us, but ensure that we had enough to have a roof over our heads and food on our tables. This was roughly four years ago. While I still had Tamaki living with me." Anne-Sophie said.

"Ah. Then, it was the Suoh patriarch that came later to collect the true debt, right? Bringing Tamaki to Japan?" I queried. I was trying to ensure that I found the problem.

"Yes. Then again, she never really liked me either. Nor have I ever regretted it." She replied.

"I am glad that I have that all cleared up then, and now we can actually discuss the remainder of the contract you once made. Rather, it is time for the Tsuji's to put in their part as well. We're here to get your company back up and running, and with full support of the Tsuji's. I regret to say that the Suoh's should not have sought to buy out your company. I am sure that us Tsuji's actually own it. Though, we can go over more of the details on that when we get back to Japan, since I have not had a chance to look fully into the Grantine folder." I replied.

"If we really can get the Grantine company back up and prosperous, I would be more than grateful." Anne-Sophia told Haruhi just before they both felt the limo creep to a halt. That meant only one thing. They had reached the estate.

A grin slowly appeared on Haruhi's face. Then, just before the doors were opened, Haruhi replied "Oh, the Grantine family will become a prosperous one once again. After all, you will have myself making bi-weekly trips to France for bookwork. And, my mother's law firm behind you as legal representation shall you need help."

"Thank you, Haruhi. You know, now that I really think about it, you have inherited a bit of both your mother and your father in you. Your mother was a very head strong, dedicated, and a real force to be reckoned with. It was very hard to say no to her. Then again, she also did have an aura of calmness with her too. At least, that is what I caught off of her the few times we would meet up in order to establish our contract. She just knew that there had to be plenty of communication. In person was her style, just like this. Your father I only met twice. He was dense when it came to himself, yet he could read people like a book. He also had a way of tying people to things they really wanted to do. And, he helped open up your mother's client's worlds a bit more. I think he was an artist or something like that before he wanted to go into the media." Anne-Sophia remarked as they finally had reached the doors leading in. They opened automatically by a butler. They were finally back.

When they entered, they could hear the faint traces of someone playing the piano. Haruhi couldn't quite figure out what the song was, but there was definitely some Mozart. That indication could only mean that they were in the music room on the main floor. After all, it was a soundproof room when the door was closed, but that did not mean that they could hear the music being played when the door was left open. It was a nice change in sounds though.

"Rene doesn't know that I am coming, does he?" Anne-Sophia whispered.

Of course, Haruhi knew who she was talking about. "Of course he does not know. I wanted him to be surprised, you know. He may have a daddy complex, but I guess that I as the daughter needs to bring him things he loves more than anything." Haruhi smiled.

They had just fell silent just as they reached the door to the music room anyways. Haruhi took a peek inside to see that her sister was sitting beside Tamaki. 'I think that someone has just found her actual prince.' Haruhi mused to herself before giving a clap, considering that the song was finally over. This alerted everyone to their presence. Rather, Haruhi's presence. Anne-Sophia had hid herself just around the door frame and out of sight from the rest of the group.

Tamaki, however, had got up rather abruptly from the bench and rushed over to where Haruhi was, which had only been a few steps into the room itself. He also seemed to latch onto her quite quickly. "My sweet daughter! You have returned! Do you know how much Daddy has been worried over you?! You shouldn't r-" That was as far into the lecture that he got, as a swift smack to the backside of his head from Haruhi caused him to let go. That wasn't a soft smack either, so you could say that it more or less resembled a chop. Not to mention that it had sent Tamaki into a corner of woe.

"Senpai, I know that I ran off. I'm sorry that I worried you again, but this time, I have a very good reason." Haruhi stated.

"How did your appointment go?" Kyoya asked. At least he remembered that she had said that she was running late for the appointment.

"Very good, though this particular appointment isn't over yet. Tamaki-senpai, we have a guest that you may find very familiar to you." Haruhi grinned rather gleefully, but could also mean just as evil as well.

"Why is daughter smiling like that?" Tamaki had got out of the corner and was now cowering behind Kyoya. Haruhi and Kyoya both rolled their eyes.

"You know, you can come in instead of hiding around the door you know. It is time for your reunion anyways." Haruhi called out. There was a soft feminine sigh as Anne-Sophia came around the door. Haruhi watched as Tamaki's eyes grew wide as saucers in recognition.

"Ma mere?" He managed to squeak out.

"Yes, Rene." Anne-Sophia said.

Haruhi had walked to a wall in order to lean against it. However, it was not long after that when a maid came up to the door. Spotting Haruhi, she bowed. "Tsuji-sama, you are wanted down in the throne room." Bowing once more, the maid walked off. Sighing, Haruhi turned to the others and bowed. "Excuse me while I go attend to other matters. I will be back in a few moments time."
