DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Haruhi could her breath stop and started to feel cold as Ebisu tighten his grip on her throat, she suddenly felt the air come back into her as Ebisu suddenly let go. She looked up to see Ebisu across the room trying to sit up and then she noticed Hunny was standing next to her looking mad.
"Are you okay Haru-Chun?" asked Hunny as he knelt down next to her.
"Yeah, yeah I think I'm fun," said Haruhi.
"Mrs. Hitachiin, are you all right?" asked Wakato as he came next to her too.
"Yes, yes I'm okay," said Haruhi.
"Haruhi!" said Kaoru suddenly appearing next to her.
"Kaoru, I'm fine, I'm fine!" said Haruhi as Kaoru helped her stand up.
"Bailiff, remove this man," said the judge pointing to Ebisu.
Two men had to help pull him up and lead Ebisu away.
"Mrs. Hitachiin, are you all right?" asked the judge.
"Yes your honor I'm fine," said Haruhi.
"Do you want a minute to compose yourself?" asked the judge.
"No your honor, I'm fine to continue," said Haruhi.
"Are you sure?" asked the judge.
"Yeah, you sure?" asked Kaoru.
"Yes, I'll be fine," said Haruhi.
"Okay," said Kaoru as he and Hunny went and sat back down.
"Your honor may please call my client Wakato Hinata to the stand?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes," said the judge.
"Mr. Hinata would you say you and your wife had a pretty nice relationship?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes," said Wakato.
"Did you ever fight?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes, we would," said Wakato.
"Like what?" asked Haruhi.
"Money, how to handle the kids, that sort of the thing," said Wakato.
"But you'd never hurt her would you?" asked Haruhi.
"No, I'd never let her lay a finger on her!" said Wakato.
"Okay," said Haruhi, "Mr. Wakato will you please tell us what happen on your way home the night your wife was killed?"
Wakato sighed.
"Well I had gotten stalled at the office because I was doing another co-worker's, but when I did finally manage to leave the weirdest thing happen as I drove home. It started right as I pulled out of the parking lot. I had just pulled into the street when out of no where, this other car just pulled out of in front of me, and stayed in front of me going really slow for a long time. Then after a while he finally turned onto another street. But soon after that, another car pulled out of me and just kept going slow. It happened at least two more times. I even remember that after the last one, we both came to this traffic light, and it's just the two of us, but he wouldn't go when the light turned green I honk my horn, but he wouldn't go until I finally thought I saw him pulling out his cell phone and then finally start to go," said Wakato.
"You cars keep pulling out in front of you?" asked Haruhi.
"That's an intresting story your honor, but with out evidence it's all speculation," said Toshi. Haruhi smiled.
"Your right, good thing I have a good friend who's often willing to help me out if he can," said Haruhi as a big TV was rolled in.
Haruhi went and put in a tape.
"Mr. Wakato, would you please tell us what you see on the screen?" asked Haruhi.
"That's my car," said Wakato, "Pulling out of my company's parking lot."
"MmmHmm, will everyone one please watch the screen?" said Haruhi as the video showed another car whip out in front of Wakato's car.
"There is your evidence," said Haruhi.
"That's just one car, is doesn't mean it happened more than once," said Toshi.
"Good thing I have this tape then, and this one I think everyone will find even more intresting," said Haruhi as she went and put it into the video into the VCR.
On the screen was footage of a street from the led light camera, complete with the time and date which was the same date Mrs. Hinata was murdered.
"Mr. Wakato, do you normally go down this street?" asked Haruhi.
"Yes, it's like a few blocks away from my house," asked Wakato.
"And who's car's are coming up to the traffic light?" asked Haruhi.
"Well one's mine but I don't know who's the other one's is, all I know is that it's the one that wouldn't go at the red light," said Wakato.
"May I direct everyone's to the time and date on the screen," said Haruhi. "It reads 6:18; about two minutes Mr. Hinata is suppose to be at home murdering his wife! How could he get home in time and kill her with in two minutes? He couldn't have, it's not possible and that only can mean one thing he's innocent! I rest my case," said Haruhi.
"Mr. Renzo, do you have any last arguments?" asked the judge.
"No your honor," Toshi mumbled.
"Very well, the jury will adjourn to make its decision," said the judge.
Haruhi smiled Wakato.
"Feeling better?" she asked.
"Much, where did you get those tapes?" asked Wakato excitedly.
"That would be me," said Kyoya as he walked up and shook Wakato's hands.
"Oh well thank you very much," said Wakato. "You look familiar, do I know you?"
"My family does have some business deals with your company and I may have had to drop off at your office building for some reason or another," said Kyoya.
"Oh well thank you again for finding those tapes," said Wakato. "But is there still a chance I could be found guilty?"
"It's a very slim chance," said Haruhi.
"But a chance none the less, not everyone's easily tricked by your silver tong," said Shouta walking up the group. "But it's a nice silver tong; I can't help but wonder what it feels like."
Kaoru quickly grabbed Shouta by his collar.
"That's my wife you're talking about, don't be getting any ideas you got that?" he said.
Shouta smirk.
"Aren't you the lucky man," he said, "Her prince in shining armor that went and rescued her from the evil monster."
Kaoru let go of him and put his arm around Haruhi.
"Yeah that's exactly it," he said.
Shouta shrugged his shoulders.
Just one of the bailiffs walked up to them.
"The jury's ready with their verdict," he said.
"That was quick," said Haruhi.
As they jury walked in, Haruhi noticed that Wakato was starting to look nervous again.
She reached over and squeezed his hand.
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" asked the judge.
"Yes we have your honor," said the foremen.
"And?" asked the judge.
"In the case of Wakato Hinata, we find the defendant, not guilty," said the foreman.
Haruhi could feel Wakato give off a huge sigh.
A huge cheer came up from behind her.
Wakato turned around and was quickly hugged by his mother-in-law.
"I knew you were innocent, I knew you'd never hurt deliberately!" she said.
"I had little doubt myself," said Haruhi as she gather up her things.
"So Wakato, you up for a celebration?" asked Kaoru walking up to him.
"Um like what?" asked Wakato.
"So here's to you Wakato, a free man!" said Kaoru holding up his glass. Everyone else did too.
"Will you look at these glasses, I bet just one is the same price as our house!" said Mr. Fujiye.
"I bet our house could fit into this place at least fifty times!" said Mrs. Fujiye looking around Haruhi and Kaoru's home.
I bet your neighborhood and our neighborhood could fit into this house at least twenty times," said Toki.
"And here I always thought our office building was huge," said Washi. Then she let off a groan.
"Tobikuma, stop hitting on the maids!" she called out watching him hit on Wakana who was looking annoyed.
"And to you too Haruhi, it was from you that I was saved," said Wakato holding his glass.
"I was just able to get the facts," said Haruhi, "With a little help." She smiled at Kyoya.
"Where did you even get those tapes?" asked Wakato.
"I have my sources," said Kyoya.
"And now that source has cost me a full day of trying on dress with Yuzuha and Oki," said Haruhi.
"No, both?" asked Sada who was standing next to her.
Haruhi nodded.
"So what are you going to do now Wakato?" asked Kaoru.
"I'm moving back home to where my parents are, try and make a fresh start, but we'll see if that' works out and if id doesn't we may come back here," said Wakato.
"Are you okay with that?" Kaoru asked the Fujiyes.
"Well miss him and the kids but it his choice and maybe it'll be better for him," said Mrs. Fujiye smiling at her son-in-law.
"Oh god, between Yuzuha's crazy antics of dress fittings and Oki constant complaining about trying on dresses, you're in for a hell of a day," said Sada.
"But it's worth it for Wakato's sake," said Haruhi.
"Haruhi, I'm sorry I had to stand up and talk about your other "husband" in court," said Sada.
"It's okay, it was cheep trick by Toshi to get the better of me, but he's going to have to try a lot harder from now on," said Haruhi.
"Well that's good to hear," said Sada.
"You know I'm not mad at you or anyone else for not knowing what was happening to me," said Haruhi, "I was hiding it."
Sada smiled and nodded.
"I still feel bad sometimes," said Sada.
"It's okay, I do too," said Haruhi.
"So what are you going to do now that the case is over?" asked Sada.
"Hopefully take it easy for a while," said Haruhi.
Shouta sat in his chair tapping the arm with his finger.
"Boss sulking like this isn't going to change anything," said Daisuke, "Why not just let it go all ready?"
Shouta looked up at him before reaching up and grabbing him by his throat.
"Boss!" said Daisuke trying to pull his hands off of him.
"I lost, I fucking lost! I had everything worked out, until she came into the picture! I was finally going to bet back at that ungrateful little bitch and the fucking faggot that stole her from me! But no this bitch went and stuck her nose into a place she didn't belong! She is going to finally learn just what happens when you cross me!" said Shouta finally letting go of Daisuke.
'I was afraid he'd say something like that' he thought.
"There's only one way to really get her, her one real weakness, her family," said Aneko.
'God no," thought Daisuke.
"Her family huh?" asked Shouta.
"Especially her precious kids," said Aneko, "Get them you'll get her."
Shouta thought about it. He looked around at his men.
"Well you heard the lady, is doesn't matter now, get me those kids in any way possible, dead or alive!" said Shouta.
