Chapter Eight: Home


Haruhi sat on her bed, holding two shirts in one hand and three jeans in the other. "What's the matter, Haru-chan?" Hunny asked. She was glancing between the clothing as if she were trying to decide something. She sighed and threw them on the bed.

"Should I bring these, Hunny-senpai?" She asked. He shrugged.

"I don't know. Are you coming back to France?" She froze.

"Actually…I was thinking of staying in Japan…"

"Really? That's great! It'll be like old times!"

She nodded, laughing. "I really miss the comfort of my old apartment, of course I have to look for another one. It'll be good to raise Toujiku back in the homeland"

"That would be lovely, Haruhi. You can stay with Takashi and me until you get settled in your own place if you'd like." She smiled softly.

"Thank you, that would be helpful"

"What would be?" Éclair walked into the room. "Toujiku's bags are all packed. He's putting all of his toys in a box as we speak. So what would be helpful?"

"Haru-chan is moving back to Japan" Takashi said. Haruhi looked up. When had he come into the room?

Éclair clapped her hands with a gasp. "That's so wonderful! That means you can win Ootori-kun back!"

She shot her an irritated look. "I don't want to win him back!"

"Of course you do, lovely. He'll be crawling back in no time!"

"No he won't!"

"Stop lying to yourself, Fujioka," Mori smirked. "Have you ever heard the saying 'you say jump, he says how high'?"

"Shut up," She muttered. "That isn't true"

"Actually, Haru-chan," Hunny said with a giggle. "With you, Kyouya-kun could be quite, what is it, oh yes, whipped"

"No he isn't!" She snorted. "I couldn't even get him to wash his own dishes."

"Yes, but with the way he looked at you I bet you could tell him to stand on his head while holding his ankles and he wouldn't stop trying until he got it right"

She blushed. "I once asked him to try and juggle eggs. The floor was covered in so much yolk and we were left with one egg for the rest of the week" She confessed.

"See!" Éclair exclaimed. "This is great! You go back to Japan, he'll see you, he'll fall in love again and leave that Sumire person. He'll become a good father to Toujiku! Ootori Kyouya, here we come!"

"Okaasan?" The four turned to look at Touji standing in the doorway. He was holding the dirty stuffed bear in his arms as he bit his thumb. "Who's Ootori Kyouya?"


Tamaki hand turned red as he continued to squeeze it into a fist. "Are you sure you want to do this, Tono?" Kaoru asked. "We don't have to go anywhere near him actually! We can just go back home and-"

"Hikaru," Tamaki said calmly. "Open the door." Hikaru gave him an odd look before opening the door with a scoff. Tamaki crawled over the two and fell out of the car.

"Baka," The two laughed. He glared at them before going up to the gate. He buzzed and the gate started to open. With one last glance at the car, he walked his way to the house and knocked on the door.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu!" A happy voice greeted. "Oh, Suou," She drawled. Tamaki raised an eyebrow.

"Sumire, is it? Why are you opening the door? Don't tell me, Kyouya finally decided to put you where you belong"

She glared at him. "For some odd reason, he gave all the maids, cooks, butlers and drivers a day off. What do you want?"

"Nothing to do with you," He said stiffly. "Where is Kyouya?"

"What's it to you? You forgot about him five years ago. What's so special about-HEY!" She screeched as he pushed her aside.

"Mother?!" He shouted. "Mother?! Mother!"

"What in Buddha's name-Tamaki?" Kyouya asked in confusion when he walked out of his office. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm inviting you to my party of course!"

"Oh?" he asked, trying to act natural. What exactly was he playing at? "Why?"

"Haven't you heard? The business has flourished. Time to celebrate!"

"…why?"

Tamaki smiled sadly. "Is it wrong to invite a friend to celebrate with me?" There was a silence before Kyouya gave him a rare smile.

"I'll see you in two weeks?"

"How'd you know?"

"This party is a big thing to all the important people, Tamaki. Don't be surprised when such news is passed on" The blond grinned.

"Two weeks! On Saturday!"

"You got it"

Tamaki skipped out of the house. "Yay, Kyouya! Mon ami!"

Éclair looked down at her cellphone. It vibrated in her pocket while playing a tune. She took it out and walked away from the group. "Hello?" she answered.

"Éclair! You're coming today, right?" Tamaki said on the other line. She smiled softly.

"Yes I am, why?"

"I have great news!"

"Well?"

"I made up with Kyouya and he's coming to the party! Isn't this great?!" Éclair nearly dropped her phone. He was…going to…be there? She looked at Haruhi in panic. She wasn't going to go there on her own will now! She shook her head as Tamaki shouted on the phone. "HELLO?! ARE YOU STILL THERE?!"

"I'm sorry, Tamaki. I'm about to get on the plane, I have to go, bye!" She said in a rush

"Wait, Éclair-!" She hung up before he could continue. Éclair watched Haruhi pull Touji away but Takashi grabbed her waist and put her on his shoulder. She walked back, frowning.

-----

Haruhi stared at the terminal. She wasn't ready. She wasn't ready one bit. "I-I change my mind. Come on, Toujiku. Let's go back home. It wouldn't be sold yet" She said quickly. Touji giggled as Takashi picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "Takashi! Stop it! Put me down!" They were drawing attention, everyone staring at them in worry.

"Don't worry," Hunny shouted at them. "She's just afraid to fly. We're carrying her in so we can get to our seats" They smiled at him with an understanding nod. Haruhi huffed and crossed her arms. Emily stared at the girl, wondering if there was any ounce of her that was brave enough to walk by herself.

"Unfair!" Éclair walked back with a frown. "Éclair?" she asked. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head. "Nothing, don't worry." She reassured her friend. "Come on, let's go in…why is he carrying you?"

"She was about to run away," Takashi said monotonously.

Éclair grinned. "I can't wait to see Tamaki-senpai" she laughed.


"Uncle Kuni?"

"Yes Touji-chan?"

"I'm bored. Can we play a game?"

"Um…okay. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to say a word and you have to say something that rhymes with it, okay? Blue"

"Two"

"Cow"

"How"

"Chicken"

"Kickin!"

"Kickin?"

"Yup." Touji smirked. "I win!"

Hunny shook his head. "Okay, you won" He turned back and watched the movie that was making everyone laugh. He rolled his eyes as Toujiku tapped his shoulder once more. "I'm sleepy. I'm leaning on your shoulder"

"Won't that be uncomfortable because of the seat's arm?"

"No" Mitsukuni held in a laugh as the boy looked at him oddly. "I'm leaning on that too"

"Oh, okay," He said, pretending to understand. "Come on then. Let the leaning begin" Touji giggled and leaned on him, Hunny's arm going around the boy. A few minutes later, the boy was sleeping. Haruhi smiled over at them from her seat. Hunny gave her a reassuring smile before looking back at the boy. "We are going to so many cake stores when we get to Japan" he whispered, knowing that Touji wouldn't hear him anyway.

"Mitsukuni."

"Hmm?"

"Ten more minutes till we reach Japan"

"Really? Aw, poor Toujiku. We're going to have to wake him up"

"I'll carry him." Hunny nodded.

Hikaru hid behind a pillar as everyone was boarding off the plane to Paris. He snickered, knowing how shocked Mori and Hunny were going to be. He'd found out that they were in Paris when he called one of them and a maid picked up, speaking French. He waited until he saw his tall friend before jumping out, waving his arms.

Hikaru's jaw dropped as he looked at the man. A boy with black hair was in his arms, resting his sleepy head on his shoulder. Takashi had stopped walking and was looking at the lone twin. Mitsukuni skipped in front of the two and opened his arms for the boy. Takashi passed him quickly and walked towards Hikaru as quickly as he could without looking suspicious. They passed the pillar and hid. "What are you doing here?" he asked

"What am I doing here?! You have a son?! Why didn't you tell any of us!"

"No it's-"

"Don't try to cover it. I saw it with my own eyes! Oh! Oh just wait until I tell Tono about this!" Takashi tried to grab him but the man ducked and started running. Takashi had a look of disbelief on his face. Haruhi tapped his shoulder.

"Are you okay?" she asked in worry. He nodded softly.

"Fine. I just have to take care of something. I'll take you to our house and then I'll go, okay?"

Haruhi frowned. "Uh...sure. You'll be back for dinner right? He nodded.

"Come on. Let's go get our bags"
