DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

Needless to say life was a lot better following Kaoru being allowed to hang out with Norio again. Haruhi could see he was a lot happier. Not to mention the new baby magazine was now a huge hit, and Norio's articles and Q&Q column was one of the most popular things in it. And even though Hikaru almost always seemed to act just a little bit cautious when he saw Shoji around Hisano, he didn't mind hanging out with Norio at least. That made Haruhi happy too since it didn't look like Norio and Kaoru's friendship was making him jealous.

Although even she would admit, she hated when Miya would come over to collect her son and husband. She always seemed too eager to leave and wouldn't heist yelling at Norio to do so.


"Boy your wife sure was yelling extra loud last night when she came to get you," said Kaoru when he and Norio were at the park.

"Oh she's just extra stressed out today since well she lost her wallet back when and your girl had that custody suite. Whoever it was that found it went and started to withdrawal money from our accounts so we had to close all of them and open new ones. She's become extremely stressed over it," said Norio.

"Yeah I guess that could be a reason to get stressed," said Kaoru.

"Well to someone like us who doesn't make million dollar dresses for a livening it could be," said Norio.

"I wasn't disputing that," said Kaoru.

"Excuse me, but your Norio Reihou, the Ask Dad from the Aquamarine Bud magazine aren't you?" asked a woman walking past them.

"Yeah that's right," said Norio.

"Oh I love your column! It'd helped me and my husband so much!" said the lady.

"Well thank you," said Norio.

"Well look at, you're on your way becoming a whole new celebrity," said Kaoru.

"Yeah I'm a regular star," said Norio. Both men laughed. Kaoru stopped laughing when he saw what looked like a person standing near some trees looking at them. He started at the stranger not able to tell it if was a man or a woman.

"Kaoru, something wrong?" asked Norio before turning to see where he was looking. He frowned when he saw the person.

"Not again, here too?" he said.

"Hmm?" said Kaoru.

"A few days after we found out people were taking money from our account and closed it, he or she's been showing up," said Norio.

"What?" said Kaoru.

"It all started a few days when Miya was heading out to work. I was standing at the door wishing her well when I happen to look across the street from our house and saw that person standing there watching us. It made uncomfortable but I figured it was nothing. Until the next day when I saw him again when I went and saw Miya off. Then later that day when I was leaving for our play date, he was still there. And it's just been going on since then. No matter when we left the house he was there," said Norio.

"Have you thought to call the police?" asked Kaoru.

"Well I wasn't sure, but now I'm thinking I should," said Norio.

"Hmm," said Kaoru as he stood up.

"Kaoru?" asked Norio.

"Stay with the kids will you?" said Kaoru as he walked up the stranger.

"Hey, hey you," he called out, only to have the stranger turn and run.

"Hmm," said Kaoru mad as he looked around for him, but no with no luck.

"Well?" said Norio as Kaoru came back. Kaoru shook his head.

"He got away," he said.

"Oh, well I still feel just a little uncomfortable," said Norio.

"Yeah, me too, want to go back my house?" asked Kaoru.

"Sure," said Norio.


"You really should call the police about this guy," said Kaoru when they got to the mansion.

"Yeah I am convinced," said Norio.

"Hey looks like we're having fun in here," said Hikaru running into the room.

"Hey Hikaru," said Kaoru.

"How many times have I told you not to get too close to my daughter?" said Hikaru jokingly as he picked Hisano up.

"I think my son has a crush on your daughter," said Norio.

"No!" said Hikaru hugging Hisano.

The other two laughed.

"Oh I suppose you'll have to go home soon though huh?" said Hikaru.

"Yeah my wife should be here soon," said Norio.

As if on cue Miya walked into the room.

"Come on Norio, time to go home," she said.

"Yes dear," said Norio as he stood up with Miya.

"See you tomorrow Kaoru?" said Norio.

"Yeah, how about here?" said Kaoru.

"Yeah that's fine," said Norio.

"Why is that, what's wrong with the park?" asked Miya.

"You know that weird guy we keep seeing in front of the house? Well we saw him in the park," said Norio.

"Oh no!" said Miya.

"Huh?" said Hikaru.

"I'll tell you later," said Kaoru, "Just make sure you call the police okay?"

"I will, when we get home," said Norio, "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," said Kaoru.

"They're having problems?" asked Hikaru.

"Oh yeah," said Kaoru.


Later that night as the two of them all slept with Haruhi in the bed, they were awakened by a servant running into the room.

"What the hell?" said Hikaru waking up, "You better have a good explanation as to why you're here!"

"Sir your friend Norio Reihou and his family are here!" said the servant.

"At this hour?" said Kaoru as he got out of bed.

"They look desperate sir," said the servant moving to the side to let the three out of the room.

They all hurried downstairs where the found Miya, Norio both standing in the main hallway still in their pajamas, Miya holding Shoji, both crying. Norio's was all swollen with a black eye and busted lip.

"What?" said Haruhi.

"Our home got broken into!" said Norio.

Miya started to cry even harder and held Shoji closer.

"We're sorry to bother you, but you were the only one we felt safe coming too," said Norio.

"No it's okay," said Kaoru.

"Get's some rooms ready," said Hikaru.

"Yes sir," said some of the staff that was there.

"Oh god, oh god!" said Miya.

"Honey, honey, its okay we're safe now remember?" said Norio.

Miya nodded but didn't stop crying.

"Why don't you let Norio take Shoji to his room while you go to yours and lay down?" said Haruhi as she help Norio take the baby and led Miya to a room. She help the poor woman lay down on the bed, but even then Miya wouldn't stop crying.

"So what all happened?" asked Haruhi.

"We had just gone to bed when I heard a glass braking downstairs. I woke up Norio to tell him, but before he could do anything, a bunch of these men burst into our room and surrounded us! One of them jumped on the bed and he accused me and Norio of being fagot lovers. We I denied it, he then asked why I let some fagots take a custody of a child," said Miya.

"How did they know about that?" asked Haruhi.

"I don't know, but next thing I knew some of his men were hauling me and Norio out of bed and the leader he, he walked up to me and asked me if I was really a woman and not a man since I willing let those two take the child. He then started tearing off my night dress and, and my underwear before he went and started," Miya had to pause for a moment, "He started touching me in all the wrong places saying he was trying to really feel if I was a woman. When Norio yelled at him to stop the boss turned on him and told him men to beat him up to see if he was really a man. Norio tried fighting back but there were too many for him. Then after a while Shoji woke up and one of the goons brought him into the room. The boss took him and hung him over me in his arms asking me if I was really his mother. He then went and dropped him! I was lucky to catch him in time before he hit the floor! The boss seemed convinced I was the real mother. He then told him men to go ahead and start ransacking the place. They left me and Norio alone so we took advantage and ran out of the room and out of the house to our car. I don't if they let us or if they didn't see us. All I know is that we mange to get away and like Norio said this felt like this was the safest place to go to," said Miya.

"Well you're right on that, we'll take care of you here," said Haruhi, "You just get some sleep for now okay?"

"Okay," said Miya.

Haruhi walked out of the room and found Norio in a bathroom getting treating by Hikaru and Kaoru.

"Everything okay in here?" she asked.

"Yeah," said Kaoru.

"He just told us what happened," said Hikaru.

"I'm so sorry Norio," said Haruhi.

"Yeah me too," said Norio.

"Well Miya's in here room, why don't you go and be with her?" asked Haruhi.

"Sure," said Norio, "I'll see you in the morning."

"Can you believe this?" asked Hikaru.

"Who would be so cruel?" asked Haruhi.

"I don't know, but we're going to find out," said Kaoru. No one was going to mess with his friend and get away with it.
