Authors' (yeah, it's kind of obvious that it's me) note: HIII! sorry i'm so late for updating, i had a little trouble uploading, but then i realised i had to upload documents that ended with .doc ^o^ enjoy chapter 4! i'll name it a bit later (if it turns out you're reading this when it already has a name, then yippee for you!) cuz i'm a bit pissed off right now because i just realised how much me other story (an heir unknown) really sucks. And also, sorry this chapter's mainly dialogue (45% of you just went T_T) i just needed to write something fast so i could get this weight off of my chest. Here you go, the long awaited, chapter four~
Nekozawa and Renge sprinted down the halls of Ouran, frantically searching for baby Haruhi. Of course, they hadn't thought to stop and ask anyone if they had seen a three year old in a black cloack with a fox puppet on her hand. They both screamed her name at the top of her lungs, slowing down as they had been running out of energy. They stopped running, gasping for air.
"We have to...*gasp* find her *gasp* before after school club *gasp*-" Nekozawa panted
"GET ON WITH IT! MY BABY, ALL ALONE IN THIS BIG SCHOOL! OH WHERE COULD SHE BE? OH, THE HORROR! THE HORROR!" Renge screeched, falling to the ground soap opera style.
"Hours...*gasp...are over...*gasp*" He finished, ignoring her sudden outburst.
"Why? I'll stay here forever if it means finding my Haruhi!" Renge cried
"Your Haruhi?" Said a voice behind them. Hikaru glared at Renge with bloodshot eyes, Tamaki and Kaoru standing behin him "It's not like she's your possesion you know! I'm her father!"
"Great, now he's convinced too." Nekozawa rolled his eyes.
"Well i'm her mother!" Renge retorted
"Well too bad! You lost her when she was your responsibilty to watch!" Hikaru yelled.
"I..I really am...horrible..." Renge whispered, falling down soap opera style again.
"We haven't got any time to waist! I have to find my daughter Haruhi!" Hikaru and Tamaki cried at the same time. They stared at each other, the vein in their foreheads buldging.
"What do you mean your daughter, Souh?" Hikaru growled. Kaoru gasped.
"He said his name! Hikaru's maaaad now." he chirped happily
"As in my child, Hiitachin!" Tamaki hissed
"This argument will not continue. I'm finding Haruhi one and Haruhi two." he said angrily before stomping off down the hall. When he turned left at the west corridor, that's when it hit him.
"Their both...the same Haruhi?" he stopped walking. "God we're so stupid! That stupid Neko-sempai probably put a spell on her and now she's a kid!"
Hikaru suddenly heard the slight echo of two voices through the corridor, and hid behind a curtain. His reason: nobody knows. The first voice he heard was low, yet gentle. Hikaru knew it was Mori. The second one was that of a child. Hikaru shot out from behind the curtain.
"HARUHI!" he screeched
"OTOU-SAN!" she screeched and ran into his arms. Mori raised an eyebrow, something Hikaru didn't know he could do.
"Taka-nii! This is my Otou-san~" Haruhi said happily, her eyes wide with excitement. Hikaru stood there akwardly, knowing what he should say to Haruhi.

"Haruhi...I'm not your father..."
Haruhi's eyes swelled up with tears "WAAAA! OTOU-SAN'S LEAVING ME!" she cried "OTOU-SAN DOESN'T LOVE HARU-CHAN ANYMORE!"
And CRACK goes Hikaru's heart.

"Um..Mori-sempai! I'd like you to meet my daughter Haruhi!" Hikaru said "Haruhi, this is a friend of mine, Takashi Morinonuzuka."
"EH! No fair! Otou-san he was mine first!" Haruhi said angrily, her tiny hand curling into a fist.
''He's WHAT? DADDY WON'T ALLOW IT! MORI-SEMPAI WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTER?"
Mori shook his head as he pictured Tamaki.
"Otou-san stop it you're embarrasing me!" Haruhi growled through gritted teeth so only he could hear. Hikaru's heart cracked a little bit more.
"My daughter...my beloved daughter..." Hikaru mumbled sadly. "Don't you love your daddy anymore?"
"Otou-san's being childish. Of course Haru-chan loves you!" Haruhi looked at him with her eyes wide and hugged him tightly "Haru-chan will always love Otou-san no matter what!"
Hikaru couldn't help but feel a sharp pang of guilt when Haruhi said the word "Otou-san", but put on a fake smile for her sake and hugged her back "Otou-san loves you too."
