The next day, I get to the Suoh manor and am led to the kitchen. I'm not sure I could get there myself yet. When I get in there I set about making their meal.
For today's meal I have decided on a 3-course meal. The 1st course will be a simple Miso Soup. The 2nd course will be Chicken Parmesan. The 3rd course will be Blackberry Cheesecake.
After the meal is finished, I'm led to an office. Moments later Yuzuru enters. Before he closes the door he says something to his butler who nods and leaves. He turns to me and sits down at his desk. I take he cue and sit down as well.
"Now, have you made a decision?" he asks.
"I have," I reply. I take a deep breath. "I'm willing to accept, but I have a few requests."
He nods. "I'm listening."
"First, I want to be the one to tell Kyoya. Second, I want o decide when we get married. Third, I want to know the reason behind your request that I treat you like a father. Those are y requests."
"For your first request, I will accept, however, you have to tell him when you tell the Host Club about yourself and it has to be done Monday. Your second request I will accept, however, you have to decide it now. As to your third request, I will accept."
"Very well. I believe we have a deal."
"We do."
We both sign the document and shake hands.
"Now, as to the matter of when we get married, I decide on a week from my college graduation."
"Agreed. Now, on to the matter of y reasoning, there are multiple reasons behind that request. First, I thought that it might be good practice for you, seeming as how you'll have to do so once you graduate college anyway. Secondly, and most importantly, you are my daughter. Whether you like it or not I am your father." I look away when he says this. "Look at me. Kairi, look at me." I stubbornly look at him. "I love yo. I have loved you since before the day you were born. When Anne told me she was pregnant I was ecstatic. When we found out she was having a baby girl, I couldn't have been happier. After you were born, I was angry when you were taken away from me. I spent years trying to find you. When I finally did, it was one of the happiest days of my life. Kairi, I am your father and I love you. Doesn't every father want their daughter to love them?"
After he finishes there is a couple minutes of silence. I finally look up at him and speak.
"Thank you for informing me of your reasons. I am sorry that such terrible things happened to you. After this conversation is over, I will do my best to treat you like my father in private. I will not promise that my feelings will be genuine and I cannot promise that I will be able to do i easily at the beginning, but I will try."
After I finish talking, there is a knock on the door.
"Enter," Yuzuru calls.
The door opens and Tamaki walks in.
"You called for me?" Tamaki asks.
"Yes," Yuzuru answers. "Kairi here has some things to discuss with you. I will leave you to iy. Oh, before I forget, Kairi you will move tomorrow after school."
Yuzuru turns toward the door and leaves. Tamaki walks closer to me.
"What's going on?" Tamaki asks me.
"Tamaki, you're going to want to sit down."
"Ok," Tamaki sits across from me.
"I don't know where to start. Umm. Well. Let's start with this. 16 years ago, a man and a woman had an affair. The woman got pregnant and had a son. The man and the woman continued having the affair and the woman got pregnant again. When her son was only a year old, the woman had a daughter. The man't mother was outraged and took the baby girl and put her in the foster care system. She allowed the man to keep the son. The daughter went through foster home after foster home until she ran into a man who, with his wife and daughter, took her in and adopted her. One day, she and her adoptive parents, her friend, and her friend's mom were all in the car when a guy coming the other way crashed into them. Both mothers died, the adoptive father lost his arm and leg, the friend got amnesia from a concussion and eventually gained most her memories, and the girl broke a couple ribs and her left femur. While in the hospital, a man approached the girl, claiming to be her birth father. He proposed a deal which she accepted. Years go by, extensions are made to the deal, and finally the girl enters high school where she attends Ouran. This girl is me. And the son is you. Tamaki, I'm your sister. You are my brother.
There are a couple of minutes of silence. Finally, Tamaki speaks.
"So. We're siblings?"
"Yes."
"And you've known the whole time?"
"Yes. I wanted to tell you but I couldn't because of the deal. The extension I just aggreed to allows me to tell you and the Host Club."
"So, what you told me before about your parents and your Uncle?"
"Was the cover story. My parents aren't dead. My father lives in this house and I assume my mother is in France. My Uncle is actually my adoptive father."
"Wow."
"There's more."
"What?"
"One, I need to be the one to tell the Host Club."
"Why?"
"Because there is some information in the story that I need to leave out."
"What? And why?"
"Well, the friend in the car, that's Haruhi. And her mom died in the crash. Haruhi gained all her memories except the ones including me. So, she doesn't remember me and she doesn't remember the crash. All she knows is that her mom died in a car crash. Her doctors told me that it would be very dangerous for her to remember me, so I have to keep that a secret."
"But, you're her friend. She deserves to know the truth."
"Tamaki. I know you care about her. Do you really want me to put her life in danger?"
"No."
"Then that has to stay a secret."
"Fine."
"Thank you." After a minute of silence, "So, there's one more thing."
"And?"
"Well, as part of the extension, in addition to telling you, I now get to live with you. I move tomorrow after school."
Another moment of silence.
"Tamaki? Are you mad at me?"
"No. I'm not mad at you. I'm upset with my grandmother for doing that to you. I'm upset that I get to know both our parents but you didn't even know one of them until tragedy struck. How am I supposed to interact with you knowing that I got to stay with my parents but you were the one who was sent away?"
"Hey, don't. Please? I'm perfectly fine with it. I was upset at first, but I've grown to accept it. I'm fine with how it all worked out. So please, just be happy that I'm here now?"
"I don't know if I can."
"Will you try?"
"I guess."
"Then that's all I can ask for."
A moment of silence.
"Well, it's starting to get late and I need to pack. I should probably go, unless you want to talk about something?"
"Do you want some help packing? I can come over and help. It'll go faster with 2 of us."
"Yea. I don't mind."
"Cool."
We leave the estate and go back to my apartment. I introduce Tamaki to Unc. Then Tamaki and I start packing my stuff. It turned out to be a late night so he ended up just spending the night.
