Part 2

"So, Hani-senpai and Mori-senpai's friend is returning from London?" the Hitachin twins ask in unison. Mitsukuni nods.

"Yeah, although we haven't met in eight years" he admitted, "I wonder how Fuyu-chan is doing?" he thinks aloud.

"So, it's a girl?" Fujioka Haruhi asks.

The Host club members are gathered at Narita International Airport, waiting for the lond-lost, long-awaited friend to arrive.

"Takashi and I were in Junior High when we met her and I've kept in touch with her" Mitsukuni admitted.

"So, what does she look like?" Suou Tamaki asks.

"Last time I saw her, she was about this much" Takashi answered, holding up his hand to match Mitsukuni's height. The others frown and wonder if the girl might turn out to be like Mitsukuni: a little shorter than expected.

"Mitsukuni-san! Takashi-san" a girl's voice called, making them all turn. The girl with waist length black hair and a prim and proper blue sun dressed smiled as Mitsukuni waved back and Takashi raised his hand without much movement or reaction.

"She's cute" the twins chimed in unison. Watanabe Marie Fuyu had grown up pretty normal, even though she'd studied in London.

"Mitsukuni-san! How are you?" Fuyu asked, hugging him. Mitsukuni grinned and hugged her. Fuyu pulled away and smiled at him.

"I'm fine, you've grown up to become pretty, Fuyu-chan" Mitsukuni said. Fuyu blushed at him.

"Mitsukuni-san! You're always like this!" she said, shaking her head at him. Then, turning to Takashi, smiled.

"How are you?" she asked, standing in front of him, her head bowed down.

"Good" Takashi replied, "How are you?" he asked. Fuyu nodded.

"Good" she admitted and looked up with a smile.

"Fuyu-chan, these are the friends I e-mailed you about" Mitsukuni said, pulling her by the hand and introducing her to the others. As Mitsukuni gave the introductions, Fuyu's face turned from normal to bright red and a strange, yet adorable expression came on her face.

"Are you alright, Fuyu-san?" Haruhi asked, stepping forward. Fuyu shook her head and turned to Takashi. Takashi stared at her and then opened his arms wide. Fuyu jumped into his arms, her legs wrapping around his torso, her arms around his neck.

"I missed you" she admitted, tears streaming down her face, "I missed you every day, I thought about you everyday, I love you even now" she admitted.

"I know" Takashi said, his arms holding her up and close to himself.

The others watched with shock and open mouths as the drama unfolded. All except Mitsukuni, who smiled for his best friend's happiness and achievements.

"Let's leave them alone for some time" Mitsukuni decided, leading the others away from the madly-in-love couple.

"Do you still have that picture?" Fuyu asked in a whisper, once her tears ran dry.

"The one we took on that day" she asked again.

"I carry it everywhere" he admitted. Fuyu pulled away to smile at him.

"I'm sorry for crying" she said, looking him in the eye, "And for jumping into your arms like that"

"It's ok" he said, leaning forward and looking at her. Fuyu blushed at the proximity, as well as the way he was looking. She looked down.

"Fuyu" he called, making her look up. She blushed darker.

"Takashi" she said. Takashi smiled at her.

"Okari nasai" he said. Fuyu smiled, forgetting her embarrassment.

"Tadaima"

So, how was it? Good? Bad? Write to me to let me know!
