After long delay, here's the next chapter of Too Late. Again, I don't own Ouran.


The club was assembled for the first time since the incident. He briefly wondered whether or not it was a good idea, coming here again. He looked up to his cousin, smiling slightly, but knowing his eyes showed his inner worry. Takashi nodded slightly, agreeing. They had gotten there before the twins and had walked in on Haru-chan reprimanding Kyou-chan. He could see the old Kyou-chan… No, the real Kyou-chan breaking his mask and he believed maybe, just maybe, things were getting better. He made a mental note to bring Usa-chan back.

She smiled at the boys around her. She had missed all of them. The girl was glad she had gotten to talk to Kyouya, and not with the twins or anyone else there. He was different when there wasn't anyone else around. Though she was glad he didn't notice Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai walk in, simply because it meant they got to see him as he really is. And she knew things could get better after all.

..

They had been reluctant to come to the music room. To be completely honest, they only went because Haruhi was already there. They walked into a relatively comfortable silence, which shocked the younger slightly. He had expected… He didn't really know what he expected but it wasn't this. It was worse in his imagination.

The older was less shocked, he knew Haruhi wouldn't blow up at the others, and Hunny-senpai wouldn't hurt them unless they really deserved it. The two caught each other's eye, identical, and agreed. Things had gotten much better.

The six were relaxed, girl catching up with the older students as the twins tried to annoy her. The smallest had magically gotten his bunny back, and things were as close to normal as they would get. But, as the door opened, they froze. Six pairs of eyes were glued to the person in the doorway, the boy with golden hair.


And there you have it. It might take a bit for the next chapter, I have issues getting into Tamaki's character.
