A/N: So, don't be freaked out, but I decided that Takashi would probably talk a lot if he had a girlfriend. Which he does :) So, expect lots of Takashi talking!
Chapter 9. Time to meet the Parents
"Kisa. Can we talk?" Takashi asked at the end of hosting hours. Kisa had only been back to school for a week, and had spent the past two days baking for the host club again.
"Of course." Kisa beamed at him. The twins wrapped their arms around her waist, and grinned at her.
"Iwonderwhathewantstotalkabout?Ihopeitisn'tsomethingperverted." The twins announced.
"Takashi senpai! Are you a pervert?" Tamaki gasped, racing forward to join their group. Takashi glared at him, and was about to speak.
"Oh, shut up Tamaki. You are such an idiot. Hitachiis! Get away from my sister, and let her talk to her boyfriend. In peace. NOW" Emily commanded, storming forward. When she reached her sister, she whacked Kaoru and Hikaru on the back of their heads.
"Kyouya!Yourgirlfriendismean.Makeherstop." They whined, and broke apart from Kisa.
"Emily, please don't hit the twins. And Kaoru, Hikaru? I can't control Emily. Where would the fun be in that?" Kyouya asked, smirking at the looks on the boys faces. He held out his hand to Emily. "There is a park nearby, and I hear they have funnel cake. My treat?"
"Nope, my treat. You bought dinner last night." Emily grinned at him, skipped forward, and grabbed his hand. The pair left the music room, and the astounded hosts behind. They had never seen Kyouya act this carefree before. "You argue, and I won't talk to you for five minutes."
"Pft. Do you really think you can resist talking to me for five minutes?" Kyouya asked her, quirking an eyebrow at his girlfriend.
"Argue, and we will find out." Emily challenged him.
"Nope, I like hearing your voice too much." Kyouya grinned at her, then leaned forward and gave her a soft, quick kiss.
"Kyouya. I..." Emily stared at him, a hand to her mouth.
"Hmm. Kisses equals speechlessness. Interesting, I'll have to remember that." Kyouya teased. When Emily could only stutter, Kyouya laughed, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and led her to the park. And when they got there, he bought a chocolate strawberry funnel cake for them to share.
"They are so good for each other. What did you need to talk to me about?" Kisa asked, as she and Takashi walked out of the school. Soon after Emily and Kyouya left the music room, they had slipped out as well. Now, they were walking around the grounds aimlessly, holding hands.
"My parents want to meet you, and have you over for dinner. Is tomorrow okay? You could come for the day." Takashi rambled, obviously nervous. Kisa stopped, and beamed at him.
"That sounds wonderful! I'd love to meet your parents. Satoshi and you are both so nice, I can't imagine your parents being anything but. Besides, you've already meet my parents, so it's not really fair that I haven't met yours yet." Kisa smiled, and squeezed Takashi's hand.
"Are you sure?" Takashi asked, worried.
"If I wasn't, I would have said something. It's fine, Takashi. I need this. Meeting your boyfriend's parents if normal, and as you know, my life has been anything but normal. Don't worry about it." Kisa shrugged her shoulders.
"Alright. I can have the family limo pick you up tomorrow morning." Takashi offered.
"I think Nico will want to drive me. Is it okay if I come around 11:30? That way I can do some homework in the morning." Kisa suggested.
"Alright. I have to go home now, though. Kendo practice. Do you want a ride home?" Takashi suggested.
"Yes please. Thank you, Takashi. For everything." Kisa leaned forward, and hugged him.
"Please, Nico? Can you just go home? I thought you said that you liked Takashi." Kisa complained, glaring at her brother. She had been so excited the night before when she told her mother that she was going to Takashi's house today. She, Emily and Sophie had spent two hours picking out her outfit. She had ended up wearing a knee length dark blue jean skirt, and a floaty cherry blossom print shirt. Her hair was held back from her face with a light pink headband that matched the flowers on her shirt.
"I need to talk to him. When he comes to the door, please go look in the garden, Kisa. I need to talk to him privately." Nico commanded, and he knocked on the door before his sister could comment.
"Hey Kisa! It's good to see you again!" Satoshi chirped, flinging the door open.
"Hello Satoshi. This is my brother, Nico and he would like to talk with Takashi. I'll be right back." Kisa told him, then she turned her back on the house, and began to browse through the garden that surrounded the walk leading the to the mansion's door.
"Satoshi, please leave." Takashi commanded his brother, then he stepped outside so both he and Nico could watch Kisa.
"Listen, Kisa hasn't been feeling well lately. She won't admit to it, but she has been warmer then usual, and if you look her in the eyes, you can tell something's wrong. If things get any worse, Mom is going to take her back to the hospital to make sure everything is okay." Nico explained.
"I noticed something wasn't right. Emily didn't seem worried, so I haven't said anything yet." Takashi replied mildly.
"I see. Now, I need you to listen closely. If this was my other sister, Emily, things would be different. For one thing, Kyouya would not be allowed anywhere near her, and I would have dragged her ass to the hospital at the first sign of sickness. But, Kisa needs this. I can't remember the last time she smiled this freely, or laughed as much as she has. I can only conclude that she has really benefited from being with you. But, if you break my baby sister's heart, I swear I will rip your balls off." Nico growled. Before Takashi could respond, Nico swept down the walk, nodding to his sister as he passed.
"Sorry about that, Takashi. I don't know what he said, but Nico can be really protective. When Emily's last boyfriend broke up with her, Nico gave the guy a black eye. If Daemon hadn't held him back, he would have done much worse." Kisa explained, when she reached him.
"That's fine. I'm like that with Mitsukuni." Takashi replied. He led her into the house. "Follow me."
"What are we going to do?" Kisa asked, following Takashi into the house. She sped up a little, then slipped her hand into his arm, so their elbows were linked.
"Movies?" Takashi suggested, and led her up the stairs.
"I like movies. Do you have any suggestions?" Kisa asked happily. "Where will we watch them?"
"My room." Takashi told her, and opened a door. His bedroom was large, with his bed, closet, and bathroom in one end, with a couch, desk and television on the other side of the room.
"Wow, your room is huge Takashi. And super nice." Kisa smiled at him, and she bounced over to the couch.
"Thank you." Takashi grinned, then held up a movie. "How about the first Pirates of the Caribbean?" He asked her.
"Sounds good. I haven't seen those movies in years." Kisa flopped onto the couch, and tucked her feet underneath her body. Takashi nodded at her, then turned the movie on. He grabbed a bowl, filled with popcorn.
"It's the extra buttery kind." Takashi told her, and he settled next to her on the couch. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and lightly pulled her into him.
"So, what movie are we watching?" Satoshi asked, and he skipped into the room. He flopped on the ground in front of the couch, and leaned against it.
"Get out Satoshi." Takashi growled at him.
"Okasan and Otosan told me to join you guys." Satoshi replied. "Yum, popcorn."
"Takashi, it's fine. Your parents are just protecting you." Kisa told him, and leaned into his chest. "Lets just enjoy the movie boys."
"Hello, Kisa-chan. I am Kasumi, Takashi and Satoshi's mother. This is my husband, Akira." Kasumi was slender and short, with jet black hair. She had the same gentle look as Takashi. Akira was tall, a few inches taller then Takashi, and he could have passed for Takashi's twin.
"Hello, Morinozuka- chan. It's nice to meet you." Kisa bowed to Kasumi, and was about to address Akira, when he spoke before her.
"Please, call us Akira and Kasumi. You are dating our son, and if I know my son as well as I think I do, you will be family soon. So, no formalities, please." Akira informed her. Behind him, within Kisa's sight line, Takashi flushed bright red.
"Alright, boys. Table, now." Kasumi announced, and she shooed her boys to the table.
"This looks amazing, Kasumi-san." Kisa smiled at the older woman, and she picked up her bowl of miso soup.
"Thank you, I made everything myself. We don't believe in having servants." Kasumi told her.
"It looks fantastic." Kisa surveyed the food before her. There were rice balls, some beef teriyaki, and some tempura.
"Yes, well, Kasumi is a wonderful cook. She has tried teaching both of the boys, but Takashi is hopeless at it." Akira grinned, and winked at Kisa. "If Takashi doesn't marry a good cook, then I think he will die of starvation."
"Otosan." Takashi groaned, and he glared at his father. Kisa looked from father to son, then started laughing.
"Don't worry, I am a good cook. Cooking and baking helped me relax when I was younger, so my mother taught me." Kisa told them.
"Why would you need to relax, Kisa?" Satoshi asked, confused. All the Morinozukas, with the exception of Takashi, stared at Kisa.
"I... I..." Kisa stuttered, and she stared at her plate.
"Kisa. You don't have to say anything. It's up to you." Takashi told her, and he grabbed her hand, and squeezed it gently.
"I was bullied lots in school. Emily didn't find out until I tried to kill myself. I obviously didn't succeed, and cooking and baking helps keep me from getting anymore depressed then I used to be." Kisa whispered softly, still staring at her plate. She shut her eyes when she heard someone stand up, and walk around the table.
"Kisa, honey, I am so sorry. I had no idea sweetheart." Kasumi lightly hugged the girl. "Don't you worry, Takashi won't let anyone hurt you ever again."
"I know. That's the only reason why my big brother Nico is okay with me being here." Kisa whispered back. "Thank you."
"I'm so sorry Kisa! I had no idea, I'm such an idiot!" Satoshi wailed.
"No, it's fine. I need to start telling people anyways." Kisa shrugged, then she continued to eat her meal. Takashi took her hint, dropped her hand, and went back to his own meal. Five minutes later the phone rang, and Kasumi excused herself to answer her. Two minutes later, she came back into the room.
"It seems that something has happened at your house, Kisa, so both of your sisters, and the rest of the host club are going to be coming here." Kasumi announced.
"What happened? Is everything okay?" Kisa asked, her head whipping up.
"I'm not sure, Kisa. I"m sure everything is fine. However, everyone will be staying the night here." Kasumi told her. She shot her husband a look over Kisa's head, a look that said she would explain later.
"I... I am not feeling well. Is there someplace I could lie down?" Kisa asked quietly.
"Here, I'll take you to my room. You can rest there." Takashi led her from the dining room, and up to his bedroom again. When they got to his room, Kisa threw herself into him arms. Takashi squished her to his chest, and place a light kiss on her head.
"I'm scared that something bad happened, and I don't feel very well, Takashi." Kisa sighed, then stepped away from him, and sat on his bed.
"Do you want to change?" Takashi asked her, stepping into his closet.
"Well, if you have anything that might fit me for sleeping." Kisa called out, uncertain. She had, on occasion, slept in some of Daemon's old shirts.
"These should work." Takashi came out of his closet with a long sleeved black button up and old shorts.
"Perfect, thanks Takashi. Can you come get me when the others arrive?" Kisa asked.
"Of course. Have a good rest." Takashi nodded to her, then left his room, and went back down the stairs.
"What happened?" Takashi asked, as soon as he was back int he dining room.
"Two of her brothers and her mother was shot and killed. Emily, Sophie and Daemon were out with the host club shopping. When they came home, they found Kisa's brothers and mother dead." Kasumi sighed softly.
"Where is Kisa?" Emily gasped. The Morinozukas turned around, to see Emily, Sophie and the host club.
"Resting. She doesn't feel well and she knows nothing." Takashi explained.
"How about this. Honey, you take Sophie, Haruhi, Satoshi, the twins, Daemon and Tamaki to your house. Kyouya and Emily can stay here. Alright." Akira announced. "This way we can focus on taking care of Kisa and Emily, and you gentlemen can focus on Sophie and Haruhi."
"Alright. See you later, Emily." Sophie whispered, before she squeezed her older sister.
"Later sweetie. I'll see you in the morning." Emily sighed, and waved good bye to her sister.
"Come with me." Takashi told Kyouya and Emily, and led the pair up the stairs. They reached Takashi's room, and Emily burst in.
"Kisa?" Emily asked quietly. Kisa was curled up in Takashi's bed, and appeared to only be wearing his shirt. Her skirt and shirt were discarded near by.
"Hey Emily. Is everything alright?" Kisa asked quietly, turning over.
"Oh, Kisa. It's horrible." Emily sighed, then crashed on the bed, and began to explain what had happened.
"I wonder whats going to happen tot hem now. Will they have to live with their father?" Takashi asked quietly from the doorway.
"Their mother was an intelligent woman. I'm sure she set something up for the future for all of her daughters. What she did, however, I'm not sure of." Kyouya replied.
A/N: So, I'm sure Kasumi is not Takashi's mother's name, but I couldn't find it. If you know her real name, feel free to tell me... Oh, and 2400 words! I hope you guys enjoyed... And I wonder what Akimi did to ensure her daughters never had to live with their father again... A free goat for anyone who guesses correctly!
