Disclaimer: We don't own Ouran Host club…(we meaning I)

Sorry this took so long. Did you all know that Kano and Haruhi met way before Emperor came into the picture that's for sure…they just don't remember it. Not to mention…Kano's name before she started calling herself Kano.

Kano shrugged as she walked down the street. Haruhi was staying behind to help the class president with something. As she walked to the third music room, the twins ambushed her.

"Hey Kano!" The both started walking on either side of her. "What are we doing today?" Kano shrugged.

"I might tell a story or maybe just hang out." Reaching the music room, Kano opened the door just before Kaoru and Hikaru could open them for her. They had a nasty habit of doing that for her. "Beat you two again." The twins just shrugged.

"KANO!!" Tamaki ran up to her wearing only the bottom half of his uniform. "Look what happened to my uniform!" He held up a bright neon pink shirt. "Can you fix it?"

The twins and Kano smothered grins. The three of them knew what had happened to his shirt. After all, they had been wondering what happened if you washed the uniform backwards. Kano plucked at the shirt thoughtfully.

"I don't know. It seems pretty tricky." Haruhi pulled the shirt out of Kano's hands.

"Or maybe you could tell me what you and the twins were doing yesterday after the host club while Tamaki-senpai was changing and screaming for his uniform to be washed." Kano and the twins sweatdropped.

"uh…nothing…" Tamaki seemed quite angry.

"Kano! How could you? I knew I shouldn't let you hang out with such devious twins. They are evil, I tell you!" Kano rolled her eyes.

"Of course they are."

Later that evening

Haruhi tossed in her bed as she was having a dream.

"Oh…Rie-chan. What a surprise! Please come in." It was her mother's voice. Rie-chan? Who was that? Maybe it was that ladies voice that seemed so much like a lullaby.

"I see you're pregnant as well, Kotoko-chan." Her mother laughed.

"Yes, Ryoji was incredibly surprised when I told him." Both voice laughed. "Do you know what you will name your child?"

"The doctor says that she's a girl so I was thinking Imi but of course my husband doesn't want his second child to have a strange name since I got to name our son on my own." There was chuckling. "Oh come on, the name I make up aren't that bad."

"No but when they are applied to something they are." There was a sigh.

"Well, when this baby is born, I'll compromise. She'll be Roimi." Haruhi's mother laughed.

"I feel sorry for the child already."

"What'll you name your youngster then?" There was a sigh.

"Haruhi."

Haruhi woke up gently. A tear slid down her cheek. She couldn't remember her dream but she felt happy. As she glanced over at Kano, she felt as though in a distant memory she couldn't quite recall, her friendship with Kano hadn't been born from the death of her brother but instead, she had been friends with Kolane Kano since the very beginning. For some reason, she knew without having to ask, that Kano felt the same way. A word was weighing on her mind. A name.

"Roimi…I wonder if I should name my daughter that." Haruhi said it out loud. Kano groaned and rolled over.

"I feel sorry for that kid already."
