This one will also be ending soon! This is the 2nd last chapter in fact! Its shorter, yet has alot of words. So.. anyway!

Idea I would like votes from, or well in reviews ::

Do you think I should make another Ouran fic, once Through the Motions is done? And when Ouran goes Gangster is done? and what would you want to read about? Something supernatural? Something very school life? Romance and Drama again? And wat rating would you want to see??

Thats all up you, as the readers. :)

to those who read, Through the Motions.. Haha sorry about the nearly 8000 word chapter. Got carried away ~

:)

Disclaimer : Don't own Ouran, just this fic, and there gangster traits and outfits. All though the twins in this story designed them..

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The day passed on, after Hikaru shoved Kaoru into a cabinet, in to prevent the attempt of failed Blackmail. The two finally woke up.

Hikaru actually got up again before Haruhi, he got up at noon.

Haruhi got up at 1 pm. Tired like heck, she pondered down the steps. Remembering each event the night before.. Hikaru said he cared.. He cared a lot. Haruhi blushed at the thought and looked her bandages. She sighed, they will be gone within a few days. Never doing that again. Haruhi thought. Hikaru basically saw through her, ever time she lied, or when she was sick. Haruhi sat there confused for a while. How come Hikaru can know how I feel and when I try to hide it? Something about him.. its mysterious. One moment, he shows his true emotions. The next, he's cold and silent. The one holding the gun in the crowd of the gang when fights go on, or the one who isn't afraid to do something.. Haruhi pondered again. Sighing, she bummed around the house.. she is living here now.... Since her dad is probably gone.. it was Saturday afterall. Haruhi frowned. On the counter, in the kitchen she walked into, there was a letter for her.

From some random person named Shizuna Fujioka. Haruhi glared at it. I don't know there was someone in my family named Shizuna... Haruhi thought, opening the letter, she flipped it open and a bracelet fell out. She held up the bracelet, it was purple beaded and had gold like thread. Haruhi scanned over the letter.

And looked horridly at it after reading.

Dearest Haruhi,

My name is Shizuna Leandra, the female your father will be marrying in a few months.. He has arrived today, safely I wish to tell you. I wish to have only met you, your father gave me pictures of what you recently look and you are a beautiful girl. I am sorry, that your father had not told you about me until the last moment. I thought he would have told you sooner.. I sent this, to the Ouran Academy, and to be sent home with the students residence you might be staying at.. So he and I don't know your where abouts.. unfortunately. He did say you left a leaving note, when you ran off, taking your belongings and such, and he couldn't track you on your phone, since your friend is an Ootori and he was notified and well, your father could not go any farther. I hope you read this, a bracelet as my gift to you, as a friendship we may start. I know you think of me, replacing your mother, and such. I have no intention whatsoever. My only wish, for this, that you forgive me and your father. He is quite taken by this ordeal.. And only wishes to hear of you being well, he did leave for your house was already sold and so such.

Please send us a letter back to my residence.. That way, we could maybe make arrangements for you to come here? It would be for your best interest. I know you don't wish to leave your friends at Ouran. But if there was anyway for you to come here, we would do it. Please Haruhi, I only wish for us to be a family.

My Photo is attached to the back of this letter.. You can do whatever with it, but you have the right to see who is just marrying your father.

- Shizuna Leandra.

Haruhi stared and flipped to the back side taking the photo out. She turned the photo around to see a beautiful woman.

She had long light brown hair, with light auburn colored eyes.

Haruhi sat there. And put the photo down, picking the bracelet up again. Sighing, Haruhi grabbed her things and went to her room. The twins were out and about with their mother, Clarissa was probably at her home. Haruhi changed into normal day clothing. Placing the photo in her box of the kind woman. Taking some paper and a pen, she began to write a reply.

Dear Shizuna,

I did recieve the letter, and I am fine. I was living in a tent before, but some of my friends found me. Or well guy friends anyway. I am with Hikaru and Kaoru's residence, and is living in there home. Dad might freak at that, because Hikaru and Kaoru are males. He might get the wrong idea. He has seen them before though, not to worry..

I do understand you do not wish to replace my mother. But my dad phrased that in a way and sounded very much like the idea. I know you wish to have this 'family' picture. But I am sorry. I will not leave Ouran, just on my father's or anyone else's whim. I don't wish to leave my friends.. and I happen to love someone dearly here.. And I don't want to leave him.. He may or may not have same feelings towards me. But I can tell you about him in my next letter if you wish.. Since we are to be friends..

Or well relatives by your marriage. I will come to the wedding, but I don't want to live with you guys, If you intend to stay in that area. If we lived in an area, where I can get to Ouran Academy, then I will think about it... I have to say, your quite beautiful. You remind me of my mom sort of. You look as cheerful as her...

And thank you for the bracelet, it's great. Just keep sending letter replies to my high school, if I put down my whereabouts, dad will want to get me, which I do not want at this moment, if you can understand.

- Haruhi Fujioka

Placing the letter in an envelope, writing address and such. Walked out of the Hitachiin mansion to the nearest mail box and mailed it.

Sighing as she walked back the wind picked up. She made it back to the estate and it was raining quietly. Entering the house, she took off her coat and her shoes and headed back up the stairs. She scribbled a letters largely on a piece of paper. Sticking it on her door, she closed it silently and locked it. She just wanted to be alone, and if Hikaru were to confront her, she is locked in the walk in closet. From the inside, only way to open if Hikaru could bust the room door open first. She sat there in the corner of the closet, under the shelves in the darkest corner she could find. Playing with her Ipod, she listened to her music. Smiling to it, she was drawing on blank paper to pass her time, until she decided to come out. She wouldn't come out for hunger or anything. Nor sleep, she just wanted to think. She was more sane, from last time though and was more calm. But she still cried from time to time while she sat there in her corner.

--

Hikaru and Kaoru returned from there trip with there mother to the studio. They had to model her designs for teen age guys. And they liked the clothes, so there wardrobe was about to be updated. Kaoru lazily fell onto the couch and fell asleep to the soft sounds of rain hitting the windows. Hikaru went up the stairs, thinking of checking on Haruhi. When he passed by her door, there was a sign.

- Please do not enter, room is locked. I will come out on my own accord.-

- Haruhi

Hikaru frowned, turning the knob and pushing, it was really locked. Hikaru sighed. He went into his room and rummaged through his box of supplies.

Pick-Check

Iron clip - check

plastic card - check

Grabbing them he went to Haruhi's door, fidgetted with the lock with the pick but no avail, but left the pick in. He used the iron clip to make a small gap so he can use the card on the door latch. A clicking noise sounded and he opened the door. Smirking. My skills haven't gone rusty, I suppose that's good. Removing all the tools and putting them back in his pocket he looked around the room. He opened the wardrobe closet, she wasn't in there. He unlocked the bathroom, she wasn't in there. He searched just about anywhere except the walk - in closet. He unlocked the walk in closet and opened the door. He walked in and saw her in the corner drawing. Listening to music and had dry tear marks on her face. Hikaru sighed in a some relief but sat down beside her. Haruhi held a confused expression. Taking her headset off her ears. " How did you..? " She questioned. Hikaru grinned. " Just because I am a gang member, doesn't mean I am a retard. I know how to work the locks. Me and my brother used to do it all the time when we were younger. " Hikaru explained. Haruhi made an 'oh' expression. Hikaru placed his arm and pulled Haruhi close to him. " So why are you crying this time. Enspecially locking yourself in a closet, with no windows, out of all places? " He joked. Trying to lighten her sober mood. Haruhi giggled. " Uh, to think? And who say's I was crying? " Haruhi added defensively. Hikaru placed a hand on her head. " Because when tears dry, your eyes and face still remain red, goof ball. " Hikaru replied casually. Haruhi sighed. " FINE. Yes I was crying, there, happy? " Haruhi pointed out. Hikaru shook his head. " No. You have to tell me why you were crying. " Hikaru stated.

Hikaru was always the one with the weird methods of getting people to tell him things. Haruhi sat there, trying to think how to put it into words. " Well.. my dad did leave today, to live with his new wife.. and I got a letter from her and picture. She's really beautiful. But what makes me sad, is that my dad really left, without bothering me.. " Haruhi explained carefully. Hikaru nodded. " So basically, you were testing him to see if he cares about you in other words? and which he left so.. " Hikaru pondered off. Haruhi nodded. " Yeah... Shizuna seems real nice though.. I just told her, that if they want me to live with them.. It would have to be a place where I can go to Ouran Academy. I have yet to get a reply.. But I am still pissed at the fact of my dad doing all this. " Haruhi scowled. Hikaru leaned his head on her's. Hand still around her and on her head, stroking her hair carefully. " I know you are... But life isn't always 110 percent fair. But you have people who care. Clarissa would go crazy if you weren't around. Kaoru would be clueless." Hikaru pointed out. Haruhi nodded. " What about you? Where would you be if I left to live with them? " Haruhi asked. Hikaru, was blushing in the dark room they were in. Thank god she couldn't see it. " Uhm.. Could I answer that another time? " Haruhi giggled. " I dont know, can you? Will you forget? " Haruhi poked his cheek. Hikaru just looked at her. " I dunno, thats the point maybe? " Hikaru stated. Haruhi frowned. " So you would be still Hikaru? The way you are now? " Haruhi questioned. Hikaru shook his head again. " No. Fair from it. I am not this talkative. I probably talk this much with Kaoru and a little less with Clarissa and much less with the gang members. And barely to my parents, but there are rare occasions. " Hikaru pointed out. Haruhi nodded. " So you would be quiet, emotionless you again? With the little shield up? " Haruhi stated. Hikaru only nodded his head. " Guess so. " Hikaru sighed. Haruhi pecked him on the cheek. " Thank you. Now lets get out of here, its cramped up. " Haruhi crawled out of there spot leaving Hikaru who was red like tomatoes, but he crawled out and cooled off.

Leaving Haruhi's room they walked downstairs. Kaoru was smirking. " What took you so long, you went to get her like 2 hours ago. Did you two start making -- " Hikaru whacked Kaoru on the back of the head. " No little brother. Nothing happened, now shut up. " He said slightly annoyed at his brother's estimate. " Aw, no new couple? Hikaru get some gut and confess already. " Kaoru whispered in his ear. Haruhi stood there very confused. Hikaru whacked Kaoru again. " Okay okay, I'll shut up. " Kaoru laughed lightly. Kaoru pulled a letter from his pocket. " Haruhi, we stopped by the school, to check inboxes, this is for you. " Kaoru handed Haruhi the letter. Hikaru glanced at her. She held a seldom face. " Thank you Kaoru, I am gonna go read it in my room. " Haruhi spun around and walked up the stairs again. Hikaru yelled up to her. " Don't lock yourself in again, Haruhi. " Haruhi flushed at the comment and Kaoru and Hikaru were snickering at the bottom of the stairs. Rushing back into her room, she closed the door silently and sat down on her desk. Opening the letter she pulled out the paper and opened it.

Dear Haruhi

Glad we can be friends. I would love to hear of this boy! Is he cute? Send pictures sweety! Is it okay if call you nicknames? If not, I can well try to stop, but you are too cute. Wedding is in August, if you got a date, bring him! All though lets prevent your father from seeing him until the after-party. And live near Ouran Academy? Well we would have to earn some money and look up houses, so that might take some time my dear. Maybe even into next year! How about what. You come live here when school's done, and we will send you to Ouran still, and you can live at those boys' house again, if we don't find a home yet. I doubt it though, I am very sure we will find one. I know your not fond of me just yet.

And Ryoji did tell me what he said and if it helps, I whacked him. Men can have tendencies to be blunt, dear. Thats the real part they show care. Some guys are good expressing it, some aren't. I just hope the boys your with do. Or else teach em so they can get some wives and they would be thanking you for it!

Are you living with your crush? It would be Kawaii! Love under the same roof... Opps! Your father saw what I wrote! He might have comments to add on the bottom! I would like to know what address you are at, otherwise, I can't visit you! Unless you invite us at any point. You see Haruhi, I can't have kids. So basically, you would be a daughter to me in a way. If that's alright.. I know you probably won't see me as a motherly figure, but I am here if you need me.

Now tell me about this boy.. please include a picture.

- Shizuna

Ryoji Comments : Haruhi!?!?!?! WHY ARE YOU WITH TWO BOYS! TELL DADDY!

- Your Father

Haruhi smiled. This Shizuna lady doesn't seem so bad.. I still miss my mother and no one can replace her! No one! Augh, Shizuna is pulling me in! But she's so nice.. gah! Haruhi smacked her head on her desk. Sighing she sat there and looked at the letter. She's only trying to help me.. and be a friend. She considers me like a daughter. And can't have kids.. So I guess I wont get replaced either. I guess that's good but sad on her half?... I dont know... Haruhi pondered.

Taking out a piece of paper she left it on the desk, she wandered over to Kaoru's room. He was inside reading a book. Looking up he saw Haruhi. " Hey Haru-Chan. What are do you need? " Kaoru sat up placing a book mark on his page. Haruhi smiled. " Can I have an extra picture of Hikaru to send to my father's new wife? " Haruhi asked nervously. Kaoru smirked. " May I ask why she need's a picture of my dear older twin? " Kaoru was sly. He had a picture read to give her to place in an envelope easy. Haruhi was blushing. " W-well can you keep this a secret? " Haruhi whispered. Kaoru nodded. Haruhi whispered in his ear. Kaoru's eyes widened with glee. " Really?!?!?!?! YAY! YOU MUST TELL HIM AT SOME DAMN POINT GIRL OR THE WORLD AINT GONNA GO ANYWHERE! " Kaoru did a happy dance. And gave her a picture. "And I won't tell him. Now tata, move on he'll be coming here soon, Bye bye! " Kaoru pushed her out and she stumbled and bit. She went down the hall to her room. Passing Hikaru in the process. " Yo. " He waved and she nodded. " Hi.. " She whispered. There was always some sort of distance between them.. But he had his moments.

Haruhi went back to her desk and wrote on the back of the pic. Hikaru Hitachiin. And taped it to the back of the letter. She began to write.

Dear Shizuna,

I guess I could tell you about him.. He's really confusing. One moment he's cold like winter frost. Then he's so warm hearted. He always helps me, or know what I am thinking or feeling. He even said he cares about me. And that just made me happy. But.. we still have this distance.. and its weird. Anyways, I told Kaoru that I liked Hikaru and he had a happy dance. Hahaha.. He must be happy. There is a dinner event here in the Hitachiin Mansion tommorrow. I can ask Yuzuha to perhaps invite you both... Hikaru's pic is on the back, He's with Kaoru in this Pic. Hikaru's Hair is parted to the right. And Kaoru's to the left. Clarissa is even in here! Yay! She's hugging Kaoru. So I guess that might help seperate them. Plus well Hikaru isn't exactly smiling, because of his emotionless shield as I call it.

You can call me whatever I guess... You are a nice woman.. But I still have my distances.. And it sucks that you can't have children. But I thought I might have been replaced by a kid or so along the line of this..

Dad left, I was testing him to see if he would leave without me, while I was out anywhere and he left! I am mad at him. You understand right?

I will leave the address on the bottom of the page. But if you ever to come get me, and I will resist, full force!

- and I asked Yuzuha, she passed by my room, nice coincidence. She says you can come by. It's tommorrow like I said before. I know you will get this letter before then, cause Kaoru is the sender now! Hahaha.. He has a license which surprises me. I thought he would have failed. Turns out Both him and Hikaru have licenses and cars.. rich bastards. lol

- Haruhi

P.S. - Dad, I am very pissed with you, but see you tommorrow anyway. You better have an explanation!!

Haruhi put everything in the envelope and went to Kaoru's room and handed him the letter. " Mail. NOW. " Haruhi spoke clearly. Kaoru nodded and left, returning with the Hour. " So they are coming to the dinner party tommorrow? Interesting. By the way, Shizuna is kind and your father looked like he wanted to murder me.. Anyway.. I'm off to sleep. Long day to entertain the family tommorrow. Ja! " Kaoru waved and walked off. Haruhi smiled and went back into her room. She hid the letters in her drawer, so Hikaru wouldn't read them. She layed on her bed and her last thoughts were about, Shizuna, her father and her crush, and her friends. Her dream was a happy one.

--

The next day arrived nicely. Hikaru, Kaoru, Clarissa and Haruhi wore something different than there gang outfits today.

Clarissa had her hair down, nice and straight. Her light brown hair was pretty long and her bangs were shifted to the side. Her brown eyes shone. She wore a yellow t-shirt with some dark jeans.

Haruhi had her long hair curled at the bottom. Her chocolate color eyes were slightly hidden by her bangs. She wore a white t-shirt with little skull designs spread over it. She had black jeans on.

Hikaru wore his hair spiked, like usual and such. As did his brother Kaoru. Both wore there seperate ear peircings as well.

Hikaru wore a black collar t-shirt, with a light blue dragon design the started front and the tail and pattern on the back a bit. He also wore dark blue jeans and a black spiked wrist band on his right wrist.

Kaoru wore a red collar t-shirt, with an Orange dragon design. He wore Dark blue jeans as well and had a spiked wristband on his left wrist.

This was an older family the Hitachiins held. A few cousins attended. Not many. Haruhi looked down the hall from up high and saw her father arrive, with Shizuna. Hikaru happened to be standing beside her. " So that's the chick who's marrying your dad? " Haruhi was startled. " H-Hikaru! You scared me for a sec. And yeah, thats her. Shizuna Leandra. " Haruhi spoke but grumbled at the end. Haruhi got off the rail and went down the stairs, Hikaru followed her. Ryoji spotted his daughter and smiled. Shizuna looked at Haruhi with a pleasant smile. Haruhi approached the two and Hikaru stood beside her. Shizuna looked at Hikaru and smiled at him too, but Ryoji glared at him and Hikaru returned a glare full force. Haruhi whacked Hikaru in the head. " No glaring contest. " She mumbled. He scowled slightly under his breath and looked away. Hikaru turned his attention to Haruhi. " I'll come and check on you later.. " He spoke and went elsewhere. Shizuna smiled at Haruhi. " Hello. It's an honour to finally meet you, Haruhi dear. " She held Haruhi's hands. Haruhi looked at her surprised. Her voice held a melody tune. And her father was dressed a guy for once. Haruhi nodded. " You too, Shizuna... " Haruhi spoke. Shizuna hugged Haruhi. " You have the cutest look and sweetest voice Haruhi! So Kawaii! " She spoke happily. Haruhi's sweat dropped. " Thank you.. You too? " Haruhi replied. Shizuna smiled. " I know it was sudden for the changes Haruhi. Ryoji here, said he had it handled. But looks like he forgot. " Shizuna whacked Ryoji in the head. Haruhi smiled at this. " Good to know he's getting discipline.. " Haruhi glared at her father. " Look Haruhi, I am sorry. You told me to go in that letter, But I guess I wasn't really paying mind huh? Can you forgive your old man? " Ryoji held his arms out. Haruhi hugged him. " Yeah.. Guess so. " Shizuna was smiling. " Okay, Ryoji, why don't you find the Hitachiin parents and talk to them about Haruhi staying? I am sure arrangements should be spoken about. Me and Haruhi need some girl talk time! " Shizuna shoo'd her future husband. Haruhi smiled again. Shizuna isn't all bad.. I guess. The two girls sat down somewhere in the nice living room.

" So.... Your crush has a sexy voice hun! How did you manage to snag him? " Shizuna had starry eyes and was holding Haruhi's hands. Haruhi's sweat dropped. " He's just my friend at the moment Shizuna! I think Kaoru might know who he likes, then again they are brothers so he would know.. " Haruhi pondered off. Shizuna nodded. " Alrightty! But the way that boy looks at you. And talks to you, he sounds in love with you Haruhi! " Shizuna pointed out and Haruhi was blushing. " Hahaha.. Sure. The semi - emotionless Hikaru? The guy who can handle all weapons in the gang? Nooo. He wouldn't like a weak girl like me, who has emo episodes and random emotions. " Haruhi explained sighing. Shizuna gasped. " You had emo moments?! OH MY LORD and your daddy and I caused it?! I'm so sorry Haru-Chan! " Shizuna hugged Haruhi. " It's okay.. Hikaru kinda caught me, scolded me and well helped me feel better. I don't know how he knew, I guess he heard me crying or something.. " Haruhi explained nervously. Shizuna smiled. " So he does care much for you. I can't wait to see you two get together. Just remember if you go far, use protection Haruhi! " Shizuna exclaimed and Haruhi was VERY embarrased. " SHIZUNA! " She squeaked. Shizuna giggled. " Gomen Haruhi. Heehee. " Haruhi and Shizuna continued there chat and Hikaru watched from afar, so he couldn't hear them. But he was happy that she was smiling a bit more again. Ryoji was beside him. " So you're the one who helped her through it all huh? " He spoke. Hikaru nodded. " Yeah, you caused some real shit for her to go through old man. " Hikaru replied. Ryoji glared. " I ain't that old you punk. I am trying to be nice and you go all punk, what's up with you teenage boys?! " Ryoji puffed. Hikaru rolled his eyes and gave eye contact to Ryoji. " I don't like the people who make her cry very much. You made her upset. To a bad point. Time you noticed things. And yet your older, I thought you would be wiser than me and my brother put together, but you aren't. " Hikaru pointed out. Ryoji sighed. " Well I can understand that.. I should thank you for watching her. And you still will be. I spoke to your parents. She will be staying here, until summer. She will come to mine and Shizuna's home. And then return for the next school semester. If we don't have a house bought for her to attend Ouran. " Ryoji explained. Hikaru only stared back down at the two. " Hn. " He replied and that was it. Ryoji smiled. " Please, make sure she grows to a fine woman, Hikaru Hitachiin. If you make her cry or anything, I will hunt you down. Are we clear? " Ryoji tried to sound scary. But Hikaru didn't flinch or anything. " Yeah I get your point. " Hikaru spoke, with some sort of happy voice. She isn't gonna leave.. I'm glad... Hikaru smiled. Ryoji looked in astonishment. He smiled, because he was thinking of his daughter. The cold giant of a warm heart they say.. Ryoji thought.

--

Most of the guests left. Shizuna and Haruhi were on good terms. Ryoji and Shizuna had Haruhi in a death hug. " Send me more letters or call me anytime Haru-Chan! I will be here for you. And I will let you know when we find a home and send pics to see if you like it. " Shizuna explained matter of factly. Ryoji nodded. And turned his attention to the Hitachiin parents. " Yuzuha, Seiryo. Thank you once again, for allowing this arrangement to go. " Ryoji bowed thanking. Shizuna nodded. " Yes, Arigato. " Yuzuha and Seiryo smiled. " No problem. She is helping us alot. When she wasn't around, Hikaru, was always such a quiet and cold hearted boy. Now he's warming up! " Yuzuha chuckled and Hikaru was whacking his head on the wall. Haruhi laughed at all this. " Well good night father... Shizuna.. um.. " Haruhi didn't know what to call her. She was like a mother to her, but she didn't want to betray her mom. But her mother would understand.. and her real mother, would always be her mother no matter what. " Mother... " Haruhi finished. Shizuna stared at her surprised. Hikaru looked at Haruhi with amazement. Kaoru and Clarissa smiled at the bonding. Shizuna smiled. " Thank you Haruhi.. I shall speak to you soon then. Good night everyone. " The two left and Haruhi clenched her fists. She got close to the woman.... Would she leave her in the end alone? Or stay? Hikaru placed a hand on her shoulder. " Glad to see you both are on happy terms. " He smirked. Haruhi smiled. " Yeah.. I just hope my real mother understands... " Hikaru smiled softly. Hugging her from behind placing his chin on her head. " I am sure, she will understand completely. " Kaoru was about to take a camera out, but Yuzuha swatted his hands and they all smiled, leaving the two of them alone. Yuzuha looked back. My son has learned to love and will get love in return, Kaoru, work your magic to get em together soon... She thought and continued up the stairs. Little did they all know, Kaoru didn't need to actually do anything. It was all unfolding and on that one night.. Clarissa and Kaoru spied on them secretly when they were out on the terrace.

Hikaru and Haruhi leaned over the ledge of the Terrace, staring at the moon- less sky. Haruhi was happy. " Hikaru, Thank you. " Haruhi spoke. Hikaru raised a brow and looked at her. " What for? " Haruhi smiled at him and looked at him. " Well, you helped me. You wiped away my tears, you picked me up when I fell and well you are always there, knowing what to say, or how to protect me. " Haruhi explained. Blushing lightly. Hikaru smiled lightly. " You don't need to thank me. I did it because I wanted to Haruhi. " He stood up and hugged her. Haruhi was surprised and little and hugged back, blushing like crazy. Hikaru continued to smile. " I don't know how to explain Haruhi. I was over-joyed to know that you wouldn't be leaving.. I feel happy, when you are happy. Sad, when you are sad, And I care for you, and yet I was pondering about one thing. " Hikaru spoke out loud. Haruhi eye's widened a bit and looked at him. He smiled down at her. " I think I am in love with you, Haruhi. " he kissed her lightly and somewhat quickly and pulled back, blushing a bit. Haruhi hugged him tightly. " Love you too. " She whispered. Red as a rose. Kaoru and Clarissa were doing happy dances from behind the window above the Terrace. Kaoru and Clarissa barged into the parents room and reported. They called Shizuna and told her and her reply. " Bout time! Tell her to be a good girl! Mom is rooting! And dad... looks deadly, gotta go! " She hung up quickly.

Kaoru and Clarissa came down the stairs and saw Hikaru and Haruhi. Kaoru glomped his brother. " WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HIKARU! ALRIGHT YOU DID IT! BOUT DAMN TIME! " Hikaru looked at him, like 'whaatt? ' then it clicked. Window, above Terrace. He got real red at that, and Haruhi realized it too. " Damn it Kaoru! Dont tell you me you told mom, dad, Shizuna and Ryoji? " He grabbed his brother by the collar. " heheheh.. you see......."

Ryoji came busting in the door. " HITACHIIN HIKARU HOW DARE YOU KISS MY DAUGHTER YOU SON OF A - " Shizuna whacked him with a keyboard. " Ryoji, grow up. Girl had her first kiss. Bout darn time. She's a cutie. And I am glad. Way to go guys! " Shizuna cheered. Haruhi laughed nervously. Just for kicks, Hikaru kissed Haruhi again, in front of her dad, just to piss him off. Ryoji got up and chased Hikaru, who was now running. Shizuna hugged Haruhi. " So happy. And your real mom would be happy too Haruhi. Really happy. " Haruhi hugged back. " Yeah, she would be.. " Kaoru went to assist his brother who might have been beaten, but Haruhi's parent and step parent went back home again and the evening quietted and things were starting to lift up again.
