Lol I'm surprised I found time to update on Christmas...
Happy almost 2011!
Hey, you all remember seeing Nekozawa in the first chapter right? Here he is, many chapters later.
"Why didn't you tell me you had Anemia?" Hikaru asked
"I don't like talking about it. Please respect that."
"Fair enough, but you still should've told me sooner."
Haruhi took the bottle back from him, and stared at it for a few moments. "How am I supposed to take it three times a day?" she grumbled
"Easy. Take it when you get to school, because you'll have to sign in your medication tomorrow anyway, and the nurse's office is on the way to the office. Take it at lunch again, then when you get home."
"I can't take medications to school and bring it back home again!"
"We can get you another bottle. This one you can keep at school, since their's less in it."
"I don't know how you're going to-" Haruhi started
"Kyouya-sempai."
"It's gonna come out of my debt wont it?"
Hikaru and Kaoru stared at each-other for a moment "So, Haruhi. Can we have cake now?"
She sighed, followed by a nod. "You guys take how much you want, I'm not in the mood for cake." Kaoru raised an eyebrow at her.
"Come on Haruhi, it's strawberry shortcake." he pleaded.
"No really. We have Pocky here, I'm fine. Just go home and finish your math homework." she said, gesturing them out the door
"How did you know I haven't finished my homework?"
"Easy. I'm sure that Hikaru hasn't finished his Creative Writing homework, so naturally, you haven't done your math." she stated proudly.
"I'm still here.." Hikaru grumbled "She's right Kaoru, let's just go." he quickly glanced at Harry before anyone noticed, then gestured for his brother to follow him.
She opened the door so the two twins could leave. "Has your car been out side the whole time?" she asked
"No. I'm calling our driver now." Hikaru said, holding the phone to his ear. The two brothers said their good-byes, and left.
Harry put his arm around her, and let her rest her head against his shoulder. "What was in that box they took?"
"We have Pocky." she said triumphantly.
Harry went back home, taking a box of his new obsession-Pocky- with him. Haruhi locked the door and looked at the door to her room. She left it open, so there was full view of her dresser. She had her back-pack ontop of her dresser, and she kept Tsumibito resting his back on the bag, staring straight into the space of the apartment.
"So what do you think of him?" she asked, walking towards her room. "He's nice, right?" she stared back at the doll, smiling slightly.
The next day
Haruhi sat at her desk the next morning after rushing to the nurse and the main office. She looked out the window and sighed deeply, slouching in her chair. The fangirls looked at her in wonder.
"Hey Haruhi? You feeling okay?" Yuki asked her "You seem kind of down."
"I'm fine, just tired, that's all. I've been feeling moody lately. No offense, Yuki-san, but I would like to be alone today."
"Oh, it's fine Haruhi. Feel better." she said comfortingly and walked away.
Hikaru and Kaoru came up from behind her and gave her a pat on the back. "What's wrong?" Kaoru asked "
"Nothing is wrong with me. Just leave me alone already!" she said, pushing them away.
"Damn, Haruhi. I was just trying to help! You don't have to have a hissy fit about it!"
"I'm not having a hissy fit! Just get the hell away from me!" She screamed, then ran out of the room. Everybody stared at Kaoru. Harry was trying to figure out what happened. Kaoru ran after her.
"Haruhi! Haruhi! Haruhi I'm sorry! Please come back! HARUHI!" he was shouting through the halls. Everybody looked at Hikaru for an explanation.
"Haruhi's been.. sick for a while now. He took some medicine and it's making him really, really ticked off..." he said nervously. Everybody nodded.
"I hope Haruhi-kun will be okay. Mabey he shouldn't have come to school if he was sick." Yuki said. The other girls nodded.
While Kaoru was looking for Haruhi
Haruhi hid under a table in the cafeteria. She was getting more tired by the minute. The sound of Kaoru calling out her name again, and again, and again was making her drowsy. Her eyelids were becoming heavier. She drifted off to sleep. Kaoru finally found her. He sighed. He carried her on his back, back to the classroom. Everybody was staring at them. He walked back to her seat and put her gently in her chair. He shook her lightly. "Haruhi?" Her eyes fluttered open. She looked around the room, then finally at Kaoru. She jumped on him.
"I didn't mean it like that.." she mumbled "I was just.."
"I don't blame you. A-lot's been going on." he smiled weakly and pat her head.
Class went by that day smoothly. When class was finished, Haruhi, Harry, Kaoru and Hikaru walked together to the third Music Room. Haruhi explained to Harry that all that had happened that morning in the classroom was just one big misunderstanding.
As they all walked into the clubroom, Harry decided to walk around the hall for a little bit as he never got a chance to actually tour the school.
"Okay, but come back in half an hour, okay? We have to set all the tables and make tea before the guests come." Haruhi said. Harry nodded. It took him about ten minutes to walk to the other side of the hall. He found the Drama Club, the Choir, the Orchestra, the Band, Dancing and Book Club. But one room that really caught his eye was a black door that had a worn out sign on it "Black Magic Club". Curious, he opened the door, thought of the very few words in Japanese he knew, and said aloud "Umm.. Sumimasen?" There was a shuffle of footsteps, and before Harry knew what was happening, there infront of him was the Black Magic Club President, Umehito Nekozawa.
"What's this, a lost little lamb?" he crooned.
Harry was confused "How do you know English?"
"I speak three languages very fluently. Russian, Japanese, and English. You do remember me from your first day, I presume?"
"Yeah, I remember you. You're the bloke with the puppet, right?"
"This puppet you talk about has a name you know, and he's offended by your rudeness." Nekozawa held up Beelzenef to Harry's face, who took a step back.
"Right. So, um.. do you.. actually.. do magic here?"
"Black Magic. But I must warn you, only real believers are permitted to this ancient practice."
"Oh yeah, I believe. I really, really believe." he said "But I'm not joining a club, I was just touring the school."
"Yes, yes of course. Well then, Harry. It was a pleasure meeting you. Farewell." Nekozawa said with a grin
"Yeah, okay-wait, how'd you know my name?" Harry asked, but Nekozawa was gone.
Harry made his was back to the clubroom, having enough nonsense for now. Black Magic... It wouldn't really make him a dark wizard, would it? No, Dumbledore told him to focus. He had to find Gryffindor's heir.

"The answer is NO."
"One-third debt reduction." Kyouya bargained
"I don't care! I'm not something you can just put up on display! Besides-"
"Hunny-sempai, Hikaru, Kaoru, would you be able to go with Haruhi and Potter-san to the shopping center?"
Hunny nodded vigorously for all three of them "I can get tiramisu!"
Kyouya looked at her "Who had to pay for your medicine?"
"Demon." she mumbled
"What was that?
"Nothing." she grumbled and went to the changing room. She looked at the outfit she was meant to wear and sighed. "What the hell is with this club and bunnies?"
"My daughter needs medicine? What for?" Tamaki asked
"None of your business pretty boy!" Haruhi yelled, trying to peel off her tape off as softly as she could. Tamaki went to his corner
"You can't be that mad, i'm sure the outfit isn't that ridiculous." Hikaru said
"No. I'm MAD because THIS GUY-" she stated, throwing her shoe out of the dressing room so it hit Kyouya in the head. Everyone gasped as his body floated to the ground. "Is just ridiculous!"
"Then would you pleaassee tell us?" Hunny asked.
"Sempai, it's nothing." Haruhi said assuringly. She finished getting dressed and walked out of the dressing room glumly.
"Usagi!" Hunny cried, throwing Usa-chan in the air and then catching her. Haruhi sighed and went for the door.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for?" she asked, looking at Kaoru, Hikaru and Hunny. They rushed towards her. She opened the door to reveal Harry leaning against the wall.
"So you ended up wearing the rabbit costume again." Harry said. She nodded and gestured for him to follow her.
Their trip to the shopping center was rather awkward, as people would stare at Haruhi through the window of the car they were taking. When they stepped out of the car, they were greeted by many "Is it Easter already?"'s.
"Haruhi? Is that you?" a familiar voice came from behind them. Haruhi turned around. She saw Akane wearing a pair of old jeans and a blue tee. Her long hair was braided and her blue eyes were behind a pair of dark sunglasses. "OH MY GOD IT IS YOU! HARUHI YOU LOOK SO CUUUUUUTE!" she jumped at Haruhi, rubbing her cheek with hers
"Can't...breathe...Nee-chan..." Haruhi choked out. Akane jumped off of her immediately
"So you finally listened to your Onee-chan huh!" Akane chorused
"She's just like Renge." Hikaru and Kaoru stated blankly, picturing Renge doing her famous laugh.
"So what are you guys doing here anyway?" Akane asked
"We're doing club stuff right now. I'm handing out fliers for the winter festival that Ouran's hosting, and these four came with me." Haruhi said
"Yeah, but Hunny-sempai's the only one who can be on use to her here." Hikaru laughed
"Oh.. I'm sorry, my name's Akane. I'm Haruhi's cousin." Akane said, shaking Hunny's hand.
"I'm Mitskuni Haninozuka!" he sang, returning her handshake. "You can call me Hunny."
"Fujioka?" another familiar voice asked. Haruhi turned around to see Arai, a friend from her middle school. "Is that you?"
"Oh, hey Arai! I didn't expect to see you here." she said. "Harry, this is my friend from middle school, Arai." Harry nodded, staring at Arai blankly.
Arai scratched his head nervously, looking at Haruhi from head to toe "So um.. the suit?" he asked, blushing slightly
"Oh, this? I'm just doing something for my club." She handed him a flier. "Here, have a flier."
He read the flier "A Winter festival huh? Winter doesn't start for another month though."
"It takes a long time to prepare a festival." Hikaru pointed out.
"Why are you in a bunny suit if you're just handing out fliers?"
"See.. that's.. You know, we really should be-"
"Oh, that's fine. I gotta go anyway. See you around Fujioka." he waved goodbye, Hikaru, Kaoru and Haruh waved as well. Harry watched him disappear into the crowd.
"Who was that?" Akane asked
"Friend from middle school."
"Are you sure he's just friend?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"So he's not that special someone?"
"No he's not."
"AHA! So there IS a special someone!"
"Even if there was a special someone, it's none of your business." she kept on walking
"Is it Tadashi?" Akane asked
"No!"
"Masayuki?"
"Why the hell would I date your fiancee?"
"Well we don't even like each other so..."
"The man who you're being forced to marry?"
Yeah. The Elder's think that our souls are meant to be together."
"Hell, they're probably gonna marry Haruhi to Kiyoshi."
Haruhi looked away. "Um.. can we not.. talk about me marrying?" she muttered, glancing at Harry.
"Sure. Love-bird." Akane chirped. Haruhi rolled her eyes
"Let's keep walking, the sooner we finish handing out flyers, the sooner we can leave. The sooner we can leave, the sooner I get to change out of this ridiculous outfit."
Haruhi stepped onto the sidewalk "Umm... Please come to the Ouran High School Winter Festival." she said. She had just gained a new pack of fangirls, who all screamed in delight. All of the men that saw her were still staring, including a certain older cousin who was blushing. He waved at her from the crowd, she waved back, smiling softly.
"Haruhi, you think we should get back?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked. She nodded and waved goodbye to the crowd "Umm.. Bye!"
To her surprise, the crowd shouted back to her "BYEE!"
Akane gestured for Tadashi to join their group. "We're ranting on Masayuki." she said when he made his way over.
"Damn jackass owes me money." he asked
"At least you don't have to marry that jackass."
"Why are you three here? And why are you talking about my brother?" A deep voice asked from behind them. Tadashi, Akane and Haruhi turned around, and saw standing in front of them a tall, broad-shouldered man who had dirty-blonde hair and dee, blue-gray eyes. He was a little bit taller than Mori. "What's up, little bro?" he asked, looking at Tadashi who nodded back to him.
"Ryuu!" Akane said "I thought you were working this weekend."
"Nah, told my boss that I was.. busy this week." he said, looking back at her. She nodded, understandingly. "So what's with this get-up?" He asked, pointing to Haruhi "And why'd you guys bring a pre-schooler?"
Hunny frowned at Ryuu's statement. "Actually, Hunny-sempai is only four years younger than you, Onii-chan." Haruhi said, laughing at the face Ryuu made when he heard this. "And the suits for publicity for my club."
"Publicity? What kind of psycho makes a teenager wear something so attention catching in the middle of the shopping center?"
"Let's just go back. We finished handing out flyers anyway." Haruhi said, gesturing for Hunny, Hikaru, Kaoru and Harry to follow her.
"Hey," Tadashi said, grabbing her arm. To Harry's {pleasant?} surprise, he had heard Tadashi speaking in Chinese. "You never let me apologize for what I did yesterday. You know, when I saw you with four-eyes."
Haruhi laughed "If you thought that was private, Harry knows Chinese too." Haruhi said "But I forgive you. You always act like that on days you give blood." she said happily. Harry's mouth formed an O- shape.
"You give blood?" He asked
"You speak Chinese? And so what if I give blood, me and Haruhi are the same blood type, so I figured... So can we come with you guys?" he asked Haruhi. She thought for a moment, looking at her friends, to her family, then back.
"I guess...
Haruhi nodded. Just another family reunion. They all walked back to Ouran. Hikaru got a call on his phone.
"Hello?...Kyouya sempai...Yea we're on our way there now...Yea we're bringing people... No, their Haruhi's cousins...Yea, one of them's mad at you for making Haruhi wear the costume...What do you mean you'll be waiting? Hello? HELLO!" he finished the call
"Kyouya sempai said that we have a bunch of new customers thank's to us. And er, that he's waiting your cousin." he said. Everybody nodded. As they all went stepped inside of the car- with Tadashi admiring it's elegant features- they noticed there was a herd of people following the car, chanting the word "Bunny Girl! Bunny Girl!" They noticed that the crowd was not going away, no matter how faster they asked the chauffeur to drive. It seemed that he crowd was literally following them, and wouldn't stop until Haruhi stepped out again. They were lucky enough to have to enter through the main gate of Ouran, where all visitors who didn't have a student or parents of a student with them would have to sign themselves in at the office.
The group made their way back to the Third Music Room, Haruhi's cousins admiring the interior of the buildings. When the twins opened the door, they were greeted by the same breeze of rose petals they saw every time that they entered the doors. To their displeasure, they had found that many people from the crowd had already made their way to the room, just before the group got there.
"Look! It's the bunny girl!" One guy shouted. All of them after Haruhi, who ran away down the hall. Ryuu tugged at Kaoru's shirt.
"Which one is Kyouya-sempai?" he asked.
"The dark haired one with the glasses and the black binder." he pointed to Kyouya. "Kyouya-sempai? There's someone to see you."
"Can i help you, sir?" Kyouya sempai asked Ryuu
Ryuu cleared his throat "Are you crazy? Or are you naturally stupid?
"Excuse me?"
"You let a fifteen year old go to a shopping center in the bad part of town, with three goons and a pre-pubescent 18 year old," he gestured to Harry, Hikaru, Kaoru and Hunny "No offense, kid." he said to Hunny "As her company?"
"That is exactly why I had the Ohtori police officers stationed at every corner, incase comething had happened to her. And Hunny-sempai is more than capable of protecting Haruhi. His family's name is very respected in the Martial Arts community."
"Well then, I guess I owe you an apology." Ryuu said. The two of them stood there for a moment, staring blankly at each other "What are you looking at?" Ryuu said, turning back towards Akane and Tadashi
When They All Got Back To The Apartment
"You guys go up to the apartment, I have to help Harry with his homework." Haruhi said. Akane smiled
"Why can't Harry do his homework in your apar-" Ryuu was stopped by Akane nudging him in the side with his elbow. "What?"
"Let's go. We're just gonna distract them." Akane said, dragging Tadashi and Ryuu into Haruhi's apartment.
When Harry and Haruhi where inside of his apartment, they gave each other a tight hug. "You look good as a rabbit."
"Thanks. So how was your mini-tour of the school?"
Harry looked at Hedwig's empty cage "I've been meaning to talk to you about that. It was.. interesting."
#
"But wasn't Nekozawa-sempai at the door on your first day?That must have been how he found out your name." she said. The two of them were now sitting in the big armchair, their arms wrapped around eachother.
"No, the door was closed, I'm sure."
"So are you thinking of joining the Black Magic Club?"
"It's complicated. I came here for a reason.. and I have to see to it that I finish what I started. For that to happen I have to stay focused, no distractions."
Haruhi looked down "Am I just a distraction then?"
"No! No, Haruhi.. I.. It's.. I really.. care about you. Ok, it's true that meeting you and falling in love wasn't on my to-do list, but-"
"What did you just say?"
"Huh?"
"You, just said that.." she said, blushing.
"What? I said.. Oh, shit! No, Haruhi! It's just.. I.. I...I.." he said weakly. He was interrupted by Haruhi pressing her lips to his gently. Harry let her dominate his mouth for a moment, then took over. His tongue chased hers, and soon was tasting every inch of her mouth. He let out a small moan before pushing her away "Say it." he told her. She leaned in close, just so that he could hear her ever so slightly.
"I love you too."
I know, I know, this was really corny. Happy Holidays!
