Chapter 11- Home:
Eri:
I woke up the next day and found Tamaki looking directly at me- a bit too close for comfort. I bit my lip and he clung onto me crying,
"OHHH! MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER SO WRONGLY DONE BY THE HARSH PERVERTS OF THIS TERRIBLE WORLD! WE HAVE FAILED IN THE QUEST TO BRING JUSTICE TO THE WRONG DOER!"
I blinked in confusion and looked to Fumi,
"Just…how long was I asleep?"
"Just two days…"
"…then what is he going on about?"
I noticed that neither Ritsu nor Tetsuya was in the room. I felt a bit of me break knowing Ritsu wasn't there. Fumi seemed to be relieved…and more smug than usual. Mori looked tense and he had a hand on Fumi's shoulder. Hunny seemed a bit tired, as did everyone actually. Kyoya was the only one who wasn't tired-looking.
"Mind explaining," I said motioning to Tamaki who was still going on and on about justice. Kyoya pushed up his glasses,
"We overheard your conversation with Fumi a few days ago, as a result Tamaki had set on this ridiculous quest to find the man who had violated you, left you for dead…when we found him, he managed to get away. Then he was set on a quest to find whoever was the father of your child- which resulted in Ritsu and Tetsuya- the two highest suspects, being banned to come near you."
My jaw dropped, and when I recovered I smirked,
"You mean they weren't dead when Fumi was done with them?"
"We did our best to keep her contained," Kyoya said dryly. Fumi looked sheepish,
"Mori is pretty strong…"
Then the rest of the explanation set in and I pushed Tamaki away from me as I glared and shouted at the host club,
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU OVERHEARD?! YOU FREAKING EAVSDROPPERS! THAT IS AN INVASASION OF PRIVACY! ESPECIALLY YOU," I kept my hard gaze on Kyoya, I may have looked calm but my voice was anything but, "YOU DO NOT JUST GO THROUGH MEDICAL RECORDS!"
I took a few deep breaths,
"Now, get Ritsu and Tetsuya back in here so I can apologize to them for your idiotic actions."
"Wait," the twins said confused, "why do you want them here?"
"Well, think of how he must feel," I whispered, "He didn't mean to get me pregnant- which I don't really mind since I do love him and all…but then finding out not only was I raped, near his home no-less, and his child was killed…."
The hosts and Fumi looked ashamed and looked at the ground.
"We didn't mean to upset you Eri-chan," Hunny cried as he jumped into my arms, "We're so sorry and we'll go get Ritsu-chan if it makes you feel better!"
I hugged Hunny back,
"Thanks."
Two hours later, Ritsu and Tetsuya were still silent and I haven't said a word to them yet. Fumi and I managed to convince Tamaki that the best thing he could do right now was to get back on his quest to find who did this me. I knew we wouldn't find anyone, but he did manage to drag every host, Haruhi and Fumi included, with him away from the hospital.
Ritsu finally gathered the courage to speak.
"The child," he whispered as he looked at me with tears in his eyes, "Was it…"
"Yeah," I answered biting my lip, "Yeah, it was yours…"
"Just once," Ritsu muttered.
"One time is all it takes," I breathed.
Tetsuya gripped the arms of the chair tightly- he didn't look happy. I looked at him sadly,
"Tetsuya….are you okay?"
He didn't answer me and Ritsu put his hand on Tetsuya's shoulder. Tetsuya relaxed slightly,
"I…I'm fine."
I bit my lip,
"And Ritsu?"
He looked at me and I continued,
"I…I'm sorry…that I didn't tell you…that I-"
He came closer and hugged me as best he could with my still sore injuries,
"I'm sorry that all this happened to you. You were, after all, just a girl far from home, who was turned into a cat…then all this happened…I am sorry. I am sorry I wasn't there to protect you- like I should've been…Eri…I…I care about you. I…-"
I put a finger to his lips,
"I know….I…I love you too."
We kissed and I saw Tetsuya trying to calm down.
"Tetsuya…I am sorry too."
He smiled faintly,
"Thank you…but I think right now I just need some fresh air."
I watched as he left the room. I turned to Ritsu with a smirk,
"So…you love me?"
He blushed,
"I…yeah, I think I do."
I chuckled,
"I love you too….I just…what are we going to do? About," I gestured to my stomach and he understood.
"What happened…happened," he said cautiously, "but whatever happens from now on, we can do it together."
I smiled and kissed him,
"That was just a perfect answer, you know that? I feel like I am in some type of twisted romance story or some type of romantic comedy," I winked, "though I don't know what writer would turn me into a cat…"
Third Person:
Fumi looked at Mori. She stood by his side as they both stuck to the side-lines, just watching the rest of the host club mess around in the park. Eventually, Tamaki had given up on his quest to bring Eri justice. Though, Fumi had a feeling that after this break he will get back to it.
Fumi looked to Mori,
"This is all a bit weird, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Just…it honestly is like some twisted, romantic anime-even more messed up than Inuyasha!"
He looked confused and Fumi patted his arm,
"Don't over think that reference."
He was still confused- but let Fumi continue.
"Just…we started here as animals and just like some messed up fan fiction, we end up in an anime that we love…and then all this happens.."
"I am glad you are here though," Mori said kissing her. Fumi smiled,
"Yeah, me too."
