Those Eyes

Chapter 4: The Past of Love

(Normal POV)

It was a sunny day at a nearby neighborhood park. Kids were running around, playing every game known to man that fit the discription of "toddler" and "fun". Screams and laughter filled the pure air of the park, as did young love. A young seven year old Monique walked into the sandbox, expecting to make a sand castle and just being left alone. But as she was finishing up her first sandcastle, a bigger boy came into the sandbox with an evil smirk wiped across his face, he smashed the neatly build building with one foot. The little Monique looked at the crumbled up mess and glarred at the older boy. She stood up, dusting off her baby blue dress, and pushed the boy over, causing him to fall over, shocked, looking up to the girl above him.

"You're a very big meanie! You crushed my sandcastle when I didn't do anything to you, what's wrong with you?!" The young girl's voice squiked as she looked down at him. But the boy quickly got up and pushed Monique back hard enough so she'd fall backward, tripping on the end of the sandbox, causing to twist and pop her ankle, making the once strong girl, cry out in pain and start to have tears falling down her cheeks.

A shadow soon covered her face as another boy came to help her. "You ok?" It was a young Takashi who stood before her. His short black hair neatly brushed out, his big young gray eyes looking down at her, his tan skin glistening in the sun and his tiny seven year old body wearing a kendo uniform outfit. The girl nearly blinked and nodded. The boy went up to the older kid, pushing him down, saying "You never hurt a girl, didn't your daddy tell you that?" With that, the older kid ran off, tired of being pushed down by younger kids.

The young Takashi knelt down to the girl, checking her ankle. Monique whimpered as the boy poked at a sore spot on her ankle. The boy looked into her hazel eyes and leaned in to peck her cheek. The girl blushed as the boy smiled.

"Monique! Monique! What happened baby?" Her mom yelled running towards her young daughter.

"I was pushed down by a bigger boy and twisted my ankle. He helped me," Monique said and pointing to the young Takashi. Monique's mom smiled sweetly at the boy.

"Would you like to come to the hospital with us to check on her ankle...."

"Takashi, Takashi Morinozuka." The young boy finished for her and nodded.

"Are your parents here?" Takashi shook his head.

"No, I came alone."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monique's mom was out the hall, talking to the doctor about her swollen ankle while the two young children sat in a room. Monique layed on top of a hospital bed and Takashi stood next to her, looking at her fearful eyes. She was scared, she didn't like the hospital. Takashi grabbed Monique's small hand and squeezed slightly, giving her spirit. She looked up and saw the boy smile sweetly.

"You're alright, I'm here, Monique." She smiled as she heard him speak the sentence. Her heart beat faster at the realization that the boy was moving closer, peking her hand and cheek, then giving her a sweet smile. Causing her tan cheeks to go a slight shade of pink.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"See honey, I told you you were going to be alright." Monique's mom stated happily.

Takashi sat in the back with Monique, holding her hand. Monique looked out the window to watch the scenery go by. She then felt Takashi squeeze her hand, getting her attention. She turned to look at the dark haired boy with a curious smile.

"I'm leaving." That one sentence made her heart drop.

"Why?" She was about to cry, she could feel her little heart stopping as if to pop out of her chest and say, 'you took me!!'

"Monique, I'm not leaving, you are." He pointed to her house that was coming up. There was a moving truck and people going in and out, taking boxes with them. She looked back at Takashi, held him tightly and kissed his cheek.

"We'll be together soon, I promise." Takashi reassured her.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Takashi snapped out of his flashback of the day he actually talked to the beautiful girl. He had fallen in love with her the moment he saw her at a pool party his family was hosting. By after the party, he had fallen head over heels for a girl he didn't even talk to, but stared at all night.

"Hey! Mori-senpai!" Takashi was pulled from his thoughts as one of the twins ran up to him.

"Hm." Was all he said.

"Come see Mo-san!" The twin grabbed the sitting giant and dragged him to the dressing room he had been waiting for the girl to come out of. The twin opened the curtain, revealing Monique in a blue sundress with white leggings, blue flats, white beaded necklace, big bug-eyed sunglasses and a very light shade of light pink glimmer lip gloss.

Takashi almost fell over, she looked like the day he first talked to her- only with a teen twist to it.

Monique turned to look at the emotionless man, letting him see her wavy hair in pig tails. He blushed- 'just like that day. If not- cuter-if that was possible.' Takashi thought.

"She looks-" Hikaru started.

"like an actual lady." Kaoru finished.

"No." Takashi said emotionless. Causing the twins to look at him with a weirded out look. Monique could feel her heart sink and break.

"She looks beautiful." He smiled at her, took her cheek in his hand and rubbed the light pink tinited cheek with his thumb. Monique smiled happily. "Thanks, Takashi." He smiled and patted her head with an over sized hand.

The twins looked at eachother with a smile across their faces. They backed out of the love-filled room, arm rested on the other. Soon, they were outside the curtain, gathering the rest of the Host club to hear in on the two.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon Takashi noticed that he and Monique were alone, he smiled up at her. She was standing on a pedistal so the twins could make adjustments on the outfit, but instead of facing the intimidating faces of the twins, she was now facing the handsome, smooth and loving face of Takashi. Takashi slipped his hands around Monique's waist and carried her down back to the floor. He smiled as he saw the girl blush. "I like being taller." He said with humor in his voice, causing a chuckle to come out between her glossed over lips. Takashi smiled hearing her laugh.

"Did you remember me from the moment you came to Ouran?" Takashi surprisingly started the conversation. He studied the girls face closely, seeing how she would react to every question or story he was to tell her.

"To tell you the truth, no. You got a lot taller since the last time I saw you. We were only seven. Now, to think so many years later, you actually kept your promise." Takashi answered with a nod.

"I would never break a promise to you, Monique. Believe it or not, but I arranged to have you in Ouran." Monique looked up at the usually silent giant, shocked.

"What do you mean?" Monique's voice was strangled as she tried to pull everything out of Takashi.

"When I heard about your family, I felt for you. But you didn't have a family, and I needed to help. So with Kyoya's help, we pulled some strings to have you with a family that was high enough in social class so you could come here and be with me. I was surprised that the system pulled through so fast." Monique fed on every word Takashi let out of his mouth. Not dropping a morsal.

"You made me go into that family?!" Monique said, but not in happiness, but in horror and sadness. Takashi's face turned to one of confusion and shock.

"What do you mean? Did they do something to not have you like them?" Monique's ears rang with the sentence and dropped her head. Takashi put a finger under her chin, lifting her up to look at him. "If something happened, tell me now so I can undo whatever happened." Monique's eyes filled with tears as Takashi rested his hands on each side of her face. Monique placed her hands over Takashi's, looking deep into his eyes. She had fallen to the floor as Takashi held her in his grasp.

"Takashi, the man...he.....he hurts me..." She choked out. Takashi's eyes widened.

"How, Monique, how does he hurt you?" He said, trying to be calm, but horribly failing.

"He hits me....the other night he...he pushed me up against a wall, saying that I was a 'stupid bitch' to think that I was ever to become someone out in the world, that Ouran was just another school for "rich ass kids." And he threw me down on the ground...." She was sobbing by now into Takashi's shoulder. Takashi almost started crying himself. It was as if it was one blow after another for Monique. Takashi looked down to the girl, he believed, that he loved, seeing her crying out in anguish and pain to him. Takashi pulled her up on her feet. He was beyond mad at the man who was causing her pain, that he had something to do with it, made him feel guilty. Monique looked up, as if reading his mind and placed her hand on his chest, causing him to look in her eyes.

"Takashi, it's not your fault. You were trying to help me." She smiled softly at him.

"But if I didn't do anything, you wouldn't be in the situation you are in now..." His voice trailed off.

"Takashi, you didn't know...it's okay, as long as I'm with you, I'll always be okay, no matter what I have to put up with." She said while he pulled her closely and securly to his chest.

"Wait, maybe I can do something. I'm old enough to be an adult, maybe I can take you in as a foster child or something until your next birthday?" Takashi looked down at Monique, who smiled up at him.

"We'll talk more-" She was cut off. Kyoya walked into the room, laptop at hand.

"That will not be necisary, Monique. As of right now, you are no longer under the care of the Huno family. Though you will not be staying the Mori-sempai. You will be under the watchful eye of the Ootoris. I have already informed my father of the situation, and has, oddly, agreed with no hesitation. Welcome to the family- big sister." Kyoya smiled smuggly, obviously happy with himself with his now successful rescue of the older girl.

Takashi looked down to see Monique smiling happily and then a glimpse of tiredness flashed across her face. He smiled and picked her up, placing her on a couch in the main room. The twins walked over to see Monique half asleep, smiled and said in a complete chorus, "Don't you dare think you're done modeling. Tomorrow will be better since there's no school, so we've got ya all day." They said evilly. Monique nodded off, falling asleep against the pink plush couch.

"I'm going with you too, guys!" Came Honey's happy tone, bouncing to the twins.

"I am too, you never know what you'll learn about the girl since so much has already happened," Kyoya said, "but then again, I now live with her, so maybe that'll be a benefit."

"I'm not letting you two perverts be alone with my new daughter!" Came the dramatic answer of Tamaki.

"Wait, Boss, she's now the sister of Kyoya-sempai, how would she be your daughter?" The twins said with a smirk.

"I'll treat her as if my own!" He said making a pose.

"Tamaki, you can't even take care of yourself, you moron." Kyoya said, butting in.

"Ahhh, when did Haru-chan say she'd be back?" Came a curious voice of Honey.

"In a couple weeks, why?" Tamaki answered happily.

"Should we warn her about Mo-chan?" Honey asked innocently.

"I think she'd like the surprise of another girl in the club." Kyoya answered, pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose.

Takashi smiled at the idea of the two getting along, possibly becoming girlfriends.

Monique smiled, hearing the whole conversation/fight between her new "family." A lot had happened within the first 24 hours at Ouran Academy.

"I wonder what other surprises this school is holding for me" She thought happily and tiredly before falling asleep, feeling Takashi lift her up only made her smile in her sleep, and snuggle closer to him, unknowing making the man blush.
