DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM

Ei sat in silence with Wiatt in an uneasy silence, listening to her step-grandfather's attempts to get women's attention.

"What kind of place is this? It's a dump!" Mr. Grayson was saying as another woman dashed past him and left with her party.

Ei looked at Wiatt apologetic for making him put up with the man for a while. The busy full restaurant was now practically empty, thanks to him. And the people who remained were clearly feeling uncomfortable due to Mr. Grayaon's precense.

"So...," Ei started to say after a while.

"Did you decide what you'd like to order?" Wiatt asked.

"I'll just do the H platter from the dinner list," Ei answered quickly.

"Good choice," Wiatt replied as he flagged down a waiter who quickly headed to their table.

"Yes Master Wiatt? Were you finally ready to..."

"Order yes," Wiatt said.

"Yes that," the waiter said clearly disappointed.

"I'll take my usual and my friend here will take the H platter," Wiatt instructed.

"Very good," the waiter said as he wrote it down and headed to the kitchen.

Ei sighed, "I can check to see if it's safe to ask them to leave, if you want," she offered.

"If you want, not sure what all they're doing though," Wiatt allowed, trying to not make it sound like it was a big deal.

"Me neither," Ei admitted as she pulled out her phone again.

Gin, Hunny, how much longer do you need us to keep your dad and brothers here? They disrupting the restaurant's business and customers

Once again there was a pause before one of them replied.

Sorry Ei-Chan, we're still contacting all your aunties and grandmother and trying to get them to come here. A few a little reluctant to do so. Is it really that bad with him there?

'He keeps trying to get women's attention in order to match them up with his sons, scaring most away and out the door,' Ei text back. She waited patiently for Hunny's reply.

"Do you need me or Takashi to come get rid of them?" he finally answered.

''Maybe'.Ei reluctantly agreed.

'Okay, sit tight, one of us will come wait outside the restaurant so we can make a move if the need calls for it,'

'thank you dad' Ei text back.

"Well?" Wiatt asked once she was done.

"One of my dads is going to come wait outside in case things get too hairy in here," Ei told him.

"I think we're past that," Wiatt muttered as another poor woman was scared away from the Grayson men.

"Oh my, this has got to be the most empty I've ever seen this place!" a new familiar voice suddenly said.

Ei looked over at the door in shock as Raiko and Jock walked in.

"What are they doing here?" Wiatt asked out loud.

"Oh hi guys," fancy seeing you all here," Jock said as he and Raiko came over to their table.

"Yeah fancy," Wiatt said as he stood up, "can we talk for a momen!" He led his older brother off to the side.

"I wonder what that's all about," Raiko said as she sat down across from Ei. She smiled at Ei, resting her hands under chin. "So, have you gotten to try anything yet?"

"No, not really," Ei admitted.

"Have you ordered though?" asked Raiko.

"Yes, I asked for the H platter," said Ei.

"Hmm, maybe I should try that myself," said Raiko.

Ei suddenly felt a bare foot running up and down her leg. At least it was all she could assume was making that feeling up and down her leg.

She couldn't really look down to see since the table was blocking her eyesight.

"Uh, uh, um," Ei sputtered, not sure if she was enjoying it or disturbed by it.

"Orphan Girl!" Mr. Grayson suddenly blowed a she appeared next to the table, "aren't you going to introduce your young lady friend! Is she rich?"

"It's none of your business since there's no way she'd ever be interested in someone like you or your sons!" Ei snapped at him, avoiding to look at him.

She cast a glance over to Raiko who wasn't looking at Mr. Grayson in fear like most women had.

If anything she was shooting an angry look that was possibly trying to intimidate the man.

"You don't speak for her! You're just a stupid orphan!" Mr. Grayson snapped back a she slammed his hand down on the table. The table practically flew into the air.

"So who are you my dear? How rich is your family?" he asked.

"That all depends on what you consider rich my good sir," Raiko replied, looking at her nails bored. "And why it's important for you to know, seeing as how I don't even know who you are."

"Why I'm Kohie Grayson thank you!" the man snapped.

"Weren't you the brut I saw day I came to visit my friend at her home?" Raiko asked.

"That's irrelevant! I'm asking the questions here!" Mr. Grayson insisted.

"You just care if she's from a rich family or not," muttered Ei.

"What's going on here?" Wiatt asked as he and his brother came back to the table.

"I'm trying to introduce this lovely young lady to my sons, so if you please," Mr. Grayson tried to usher the boys away.

"Uh, she's with me," Jock spoke up.

"With you, little man? Why would she be with you? What could you offer?" Mr. Grayson mocked.

"He's my older brother and a part of the family that owns this place," Wiatt pointed out.

"You know I have been meaning to say, this place isn't really friendly place! What kind of family friendly place you got here!" Mr. Grayson snapped.

'Oh god!' Ei thought. She started to text again.

"are either guys outside yet?'

"Yeah' came a replie from Mori.

'Can you please come in and take care of Mr. Grayson?' Ei pleaded.

There was no reply on her phone, but suddenly Mori was coming in through the door.

He walked over to Mr. Grayson and tapped his shoulder.

"What?" Mr. Grayson snapped as he turned around to see Mori behind him. "Oh you, what do you want?"

"Time for you to go!" Mori ordered pointing to the door.

"I'm trying to have a nice dinner with my sons and I was just saying hello to your supposed daughter," Mr. Grayson mock calmly.

Mori pointed to the door again.

"We haven't eaten yet," Mr. Grayson said as he tried walking back to his table with his sons.

Mori however grabbed shoulder and pulled him away.

"Out, go somewhere else!" he ordered.

"Why you!" Mr. Grayson tried to protest. Only for his oldest son to come and put his hand on his dad's shoulder.

"Father, maybe there are better places to find a a decent new wife for us all," he said calmly.

"Perhaps you're right," Mr. Grayson agreed, "this place is dead and filled with nothing but stupid females anyway. Come on boys!" His other two sons quickly stood up and hurried to the door.

"Let's try a bar," Mr. Grayson was saying as they left, "rich drunk women are easier to persuade."

"Finally!" Ei heard a waiter muttered. She felt bad for making the staff put up with the man for so long. She made a note she'd leave a big tip for all of them.

"Are you going to be okay for now?" Mori asked as he came to Ei's table.

"I think so," Ei assured him, while still looking towards Wiatt for confirmation.

"Yeah we're fine," Wiatt agreed.

Mori nodded, but not before he seemed to size Wiatt up a little.

"Thanks Dad," Ei called out as Mori headed to the door.

"Well glad that's over," Wiatt said as he took a seat next to Ei while his brother did the same next to Raiko.

"Sorry about that," Ei apologized again as she scooched over some more to give Wiatt more room to sit. In doing so, she suddenly found herself sitting next to Raiko. She shifted her eyes between the two a little nervous.

"Forget about it," Wiatt assured her, "I just hope they got those women away in time."

"Well, at least it sounds like they're not going home right away. So they might have more time to get the women and children away," said Ei.

"Everything going okay with your grandfather?" Raiko asked.

"He's going to have to officially declare bankruptcy on his company tomorrow. So he's already plotting to have he and his sons divorce their wives and find new rich wives just to help them out financially speaking," Ei explained.

"So that's why he was trying to find out if I come from a rich family," Raiko said calmly, "of course there's no way my parents would ever permit such a union, even if I was interested."

"It's going to have to be some pretty desperate women to agree to such a union," Jock mentioned.

"Or fearful," Ei muttered. At least here at the restaurant, all the women they had tried to talk to had room to move away from Grayson's grasp. Some might not be so lucky depending on where they looked.

She leaned over to Wiatt and whispered, "so are they joining us or something?"

"Yeah apparently," Wiatt whispered back annoyed.

"Oh," Ei muttered. This wasn't exactly turning into the evening she had hoped for nor, did it appear the one Wiatt had wanted either.

Of course, it wasn't helping that once again she was sure Raiko was rubbing her foot against her leg.

It was made even weirder by how she and Jock kept talking and giggling with each other and Raiko kept stroking his face or stealing a kiss.

'What is her deal?' Ei thought. Could it be her? Was there some odd thing she was missing or misinterpreting with Raiko's apparent foot rubs?


"Well this evening wasn't too bad was it?" Jock asked once everyone had finished their meal and were heading to the door.

He and Raiko had arms linked like a happy couple while Ei and Wiatt merely walked side by side, not even holding hands.

"No, it was pleasant enough," Raiko also agreed.

"Sure," Wiatt and Ei said together, convincingly.

"So Raiko, why don't you take Ei home so I can just go home with my brother? Save everyone a trip?" Jock suddenly suggested. He seemed to be already heading to his brother's car.

"No," Wiatt spoke up, "I brought Miss Fujioka here, I can take her home!" He glared at his brother before he gestured for Ei to come to follow him.

"But Wiatt," Raiko started to protest.

"Oh, am I making things more easier to give in to temptation?" Wiatt mocked as he opened the door for Ei and then quickly shut it. Ei looked out the window to see Raiko looking mad and then scoffing to the other car waiting.

"Man what is her deal?" Ei heard Wiatt complaining as they drove away.

"You talking about Raiko?" Ei asked.

"Yeah, lately she's been a real pill. I don't even know what to think anymore in regards to her and Jock's relationship," Wiatt confessed, "I mean they still seem found of each other. But I don't know how to explain it, she's been a little friendly with some of the girls of our normal social circle back in France or even some of her school friends."

"Friendly, how?" Ei asked curious.

"Well, not to gossip, but friendly in the same way she's friendly with my brother," Wiatt explained, "what's even weirder is how much Jock seems to be okay with that."

Ei was also confused by Wiatt revelation.

'So she's friendly with other girls too?' She thought. What does that mean exactly? What should it mean towards her?

She decided to change the subject and not get another headache.

"i uh mentioned your dinner theater suggestion to my dad Kyoya. He said it could be possible depending on how big the theater is and how much it could cost," Ei quickly said.

"Oh really? Awesome," Wiatt replied, "when are you going to go inspect it?"

"I'm not sure," Ei said.

"Well, I can try and keep my schedule clear after school for the next few days if you'd like me to go with you. See if there's any room for a team up with helping making a dinging area for the theater and kitchen," Wiatt offered.

"Oh, that would be a smart team up," Ei agreed happily. She could feela sense of relief flowing through her at the idea that Wiatt was still willing to put up with her.

Soon the two came back to HOST TOWER.

""Call me when you plan to go inspect the theater," Wiatt said as he came to a stop.

"Sure," Ei said softly, "um Wiatt?"

Wiatt glanced at her a little thoughtfully.

"I'm sorry about my stepmother's father causing all those problems back at the restaurant and driving customers away. I'll make sure you're complicated for it," Ei said timidly.

"Forget about it, bad customers come with the territory when it comes to businesses like restaurants. Some are just more memorable than others," Wiatt assured her.

"Still," Ei muttered looking down ashamed.

"Hey," Wiatt said as he made Ei look at him, "it's okay, really, we'll get together some other time, like with our movie night next week, right?"

"We're still on for that?" Ei asked.

"Oh yeah," Wiatt insisted with a smile.

Ei blushed and looked away in embarrassment.

It was then she noticed a few cars pulling into the tower's parking garage. They looked a little familiar.

Wiatt also looked behind at the cars pulling up.

"What's that all about?" he asked.

"Probably the in-laws," Ei said as she hurried out of the car.

"Call me later okay?" Wiatt called out before ahe shut the door.

"I will," Ei promised with a smile before she dashed into the tower lobby.

Inside Hunny, Gin, Mori Mikasa, Kyoya, and even Tamaki and Akira were all waiting.

Before Ei could ask what was going on to the obvious, the parking garage door opened and in walked all the wives, children, and Gin's own mother. Alot of the kids were crying as they clung to their mothers. A few others were looking confused while others looked mad or annoyed. Each of the three wives seemed to be reflecting the different attitudes of the children, confused, sad and mad.

Gin mother's looked like a mixture of all three as she came and stood in front of her daughter. The took a place on the lobby couch with a few of their small children. The olders ones stood around the couch or loiter around the lobby.

"So, welcome everyone," Gin finally said, "I hope you're all feeling well."

"How well can you feel over the idea your husband's dumping you for money!" one sister-in-law, Iwa said as she broke down crying.

"I don't understand, this is just so out of the blue," the youngest sister-in-law, Hama, said as though in a daze.

"It shouldn't be so hard to grasp," said the oldest sister-in-law, Maa, clearly mad. She pulled out a phone, "bastard!" she flung the phone across the room and miraculously it didn't break.

Ei looked over and saw it had a picture of Maa and her husband on the home screen.

"Now don't worry, you're all going to be okay," Gin started to assure the women, "we'll keep you all safe and secured from them. We'll help you find good homes and jobs and help you keep full custody of your all your children."

"You mean our sons? They don't give a damn over our daughters!" Maa snapped.

"That's all I have is sons! I'll have nothing if they take them away!" Iwa screamed in fear, holding her youngest two close.

"They won't Iwa-Chan, not as long as we're helping you," Hunny assured her.

"I want to go home to my parents," Hama said softly, "I just feel safer if I could go back to my home town where they are."

"We'll help make that happen as soon as we can make sure your husband or his dad won't be a threat," Akira promised.

"I don't care what happens to me after this," Maa muttered, "as long as I can do it on my own. I want to find my own place and my own job and take care of myself for once! I don't care if it's the crummiest job in the world and the place is the worst in all of Japan and my children have to share one big bead and toilet, as long as I know I can take care of them and myself all on my own, I'll be satisfied!"

"Well hopefully it won't come to that," said Tamaki, "but we can definitely help you get your independence. That's a good and noble thing to aspire to."

"In the meantime, we are going to allow you ladies to all stay here," Kyoya spoke up, "Gin and Hunny have already asked to help turn one of our least used floors into some apartments for you ladies to live in if you need. And we can help you find jobs either within the company or outside if you'd prefer."

"In the meantime, we've helped arranged it so you can stay with either us, Takashi and Mikasa and Tama-Chan, and Aki-Chan have also said that one of you can stay with them," Hunny added.

"He said, I just went along," Akira whispered to Ei. Ei nodded in understanding.

"Is that really going to work with all our kids?" Hama asked a little concerned, as it became suddenly noticeable most were running around and goofying off around the lobby.

"We'll make it work," Gin said, "somehow."

"Whoa, what is going on in here?" Jun asked as she and Hikaru walked into the lobby, still dressed from their date night.

"Well, it's finally happened, Dad's going to dump Mother and he's making my brothers do the same," Gin explained, "we're just trying to beat him to the punch."

"And right now we're working out the living arrangements for everyone," Akira added.

Jun and Hikaru shared a look.

"Why not just put them up in our place?" Hikaru suddenly suggested.

"Yours?" Kyoya asked.

"Yeah, it's as big as everyone else's and we can just bunk with Kaoru and Alice," Hikaru explained.

"And these girls could probably use some privacy," said Jun

"That's, actually a good idea," said Gin.

"And very kind of you to offer!" said Hunny.

"Yeah, what's the deal?" Ei asked.

The couple looked at each other again.

"We might be a little drunk," both replied.

"Ah, drunk kindness, the usual type of kindness one can expect from a Hitachiin," Kyoya said.

"Hey now, I'm a Hitachiin!" Ei snapped.

"Yes, but your Fujioka genes are quite strong with you," Kyoya said smugly, "and in any case it'll only be temporarily Hikaru and Jun. We're working on reconstructing a different floor as living quarters for the women."

"That's cool," Jun said with a shrug, "sorry your deadbeat husbands are all ditching you gals. Give us a minute to get a few things together and then you can take it over."

"And don't worry about your kids wreaking havoc, our floors are havoc proof," Hikaru added as they headed to the elevator.

"Mom, do you still want to stay with us?" Gin asked.

"Yes that's fine," Mrs. Grayson said at last.

In the meantime, I hate to play jailer, but we will have to keep you ladies here and the children until these whole thing is resolved. We can't risk Grayson trying to get his hands on you," Kyoya said.

"So basically we're under house arrest?"Maa asked, "eh, why not? It's not like we're not used to it and at least this time it's not for a good reason."

"Thank you for understanding Mrs. Grayson," said Kyoya.

"Ms. Shojo please!" Maa insisted, "I'd like to start going by my maiden now from now on!" She stood up as regal as she could, "children! Get your things together, it's late and we should get some sleep!"

"Should we too Momma?" one of Hama's kids asked.

"Yes, let's get going," Hama said as she also stood up along with Iwa, getting their things and kids together.

"So if we're stuck here does this mean we won't have to go to school?" one of Iwa's boys asked.

"Nice try kid, but we got tutors to help cover that," sais Akira.

"Oh, great," the boy muttered as he followed his family to the elevator.

"Well, there's no turning back now huh?" Gin asked looking at her family still in the lobby, "we've just basically declared war on my dad."

"Yes, it would appear so," her mother agreed, "just promise me one thing dear, in rgards to your father?"

"What mom?" Gin asked. Everyone was expecting her to say be kind or remember he was sti Gin's father.

"When you go up against him, you make sure to unleash the dogs of hell on him!" Mrs. Grayson declared with confidence as she walked to the elevator herself.

"Mom?" Gin said in surprise.

"Seems like she's finally cutting loose," said Akira.

"Good for her," said Mikasa.

"We're all still on this right? You guys still willing to help?" Gin asked looking at the different people around her.

"Of course we are! You're family and they're family and by god, we'll be with you till the end!" Tamaki declared.

"What he said," Akira added.

"Thank you all," Gin praised her friends as she and Hunny started to leave the lobby as well.

"This is going to get interesting huh?" Akira asked Kyoya.

"Yes, but, I'm more than convinced that this will work out for the best," said Kyoya.

Everyone all headed off as well, except for Ei who just stayed where she was, still taking in everything that had happened that evening.

'Is life ever normal?' she thought, 'oh wait I'm the shared daughter of six men, of course not. This is a normal day in my life. I bet things never got this crazy for mom.'
