Chapter 15
What Father Wants- Previously -
Thursday was already there, and Haruhi was tired of so many vitamins and planned doctor appointments. This was really going to be a struggle for her to do all alone, even if she was into the independent studies of Ouran, she couldn't work. Knowing that all of this was going to be hard on her, so Yuzuru said he would give some help.
But it was rejected.
This girl… she would strive on being independent, never knowing how to truly lean on another for help. It made him wonder how she actually got so close to Kyouya as to sleeping together and getting herself pregnant. Most likely she had told Kyouya the news already, and so he should congratulate Yoshio on his victory.
Picking up his cell phone from his pocket, he dialed the number to the Ohtori estate, and asked to speak with him. The maid fetched the strict man, who came to the phone sometime six minutes later and sounded annoyed. As if that was something new though, nonetheless, he was going to be a man of honor.
"Congratulations on beating me, Ohtori-san" Yuzuru stated.
"Arigato." He replied, though didn't understand.
"Haruhi-kun. Kyouya-kun won her in a way my musuko couldn't."
"Wasn't that an obvious thing?" Yoshio retorted.
"I guess it was…" he seemed surprise.
"I'm not a man of patience Suoh-san." Yoshio growled.
"Well, with Haruhi-kun pregnant with your next generation, I thought I should just say good game," Yuzuru stated, "you're going to be a ojiisan soon."
"I see." He replied with amusement. "You must excuse me, I have business."
"Of course, congratulations once again." The two hung up.
Yuzuru thought about it, "I should probably congratulate Haruhi-kun's chichi."
He called the Fujioka residence and Ryouji answered tiredly, still trying to wake up a little more. It didn't surprise Yuzuru that he was tired during the day a little, but didn't he occasionally have others around? Nonetheless, it was almost like business; making sure the students are all taken care of and whatnot.
"Konnichiwa Fujioka-san, this is the superintendent of Ouran." Yuzuru said brightly.
"Eh? Is Haruhi okay!" Immediately he was wide awake.
"Un, I was just calling to congratulate you." He smiled.
"…congratulate me?" Ryouji asked confusedly.
"About Haruhi-kun's pregnancy?" Yuzuru reminded.
"NANI!"
- Now -
Opening the door to the apartment, Haruhi saw her father running around going ballistic, not know what to do. She closed the door and took off her shoes quietly and placed her stuff in the other room slowly. Something was going on, and she didn't understand what was going on, but she decided that it was best not to know.
After a couple minutes, Ryouji noticed her, and he began to fume as he came over to her. Haruhi looked at him confusedly, not able to understand this sudden fury, perhaps he was drunk or something. Although for some reason, she really doubted that, and that's what made her a little nervous.
"Haruhi! Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant!" Ryouji panicked.
She looked at him confusedly, "…how did… how did you know?"
"The superintendent called from your academy!" He replied.
"I was going to tell you," Haruhi didn't know what the big deal was.
"When! During your second trimester!" He whined.
"…well, I'll be in the second trimester next week."
"Why didn't you tell me!" Ryouji sobbed.
"I was going to tell you!" She repeated herself.
"I should get another job. Matte. Maybe I can't just work more at the bar. Iie, iie, I can't do that, I'm already doing eight hours." Ryouji kept rambling to himself.
Haruhi frowned sadly and went into the other room to go lay down quietly, wanting to just disappear. She hoped that she could at least try to explain herself before he would jump to his conclusions. Her head started to hurt, and so she hid under the covers of her futons, trying to get away for it.
'Itte…' Haruhi whispered in her mind.
Kyouya came home to the estate and started walking towards his room, only to be surprised that his father and two brothers were there in the family room. Seeing their youngest brother, they got up and excused themselves; and that was not a good sign. Cautiously, Kyouya walked into the family room, his father completely ignoring him, another bad sign, and so he turned around to-
"Congratulations, Kyouya." Yoshio said rather darkly to him.
He turned around and looked at him, "congratulations for what?"
"I see." His tone didn't die down, "so she kept it from everyone."
"Who? Did Fuyumi-neesan come visit again?" Kyouya asked.
"I received a phone call from the academy, and from the Fujioka residence." He placed the newspaper down, stood up, and came toward him, "the superintendent was joyful, Fujioka-san however, wasn't." His hand went up and hit his son.
SLAP!
"I'm rather disappointed really." Yoshio stated. "Dishonor yourself as well as our family for getting a young onnanoko pregnant." He was furious. "I looked into Fujioka Haruhi's recent clinic and hospital visits. She was diagnosed with pregnancy this week on Monday. The clinic, the superintendent, and her chichi say it was you."
Kyouya thought about it, it couldn't have been Nagasaki, they used protection, he made sure of it. But there was one time he stayed the night with her, drunk, even though she said there was no pain in her region, they might have. No, they did, that was the only explanation that there was, but that wasn't the issue for him.
'Why didn't she tell me…?' Kyouya's fists tightened.
"Since you enjoy playing, you take it up and be serious from now on." Yoshio stated.
His son looked at him silently to hear him out. "…"
"You will propose to her, I don't care when."
"Hai, otousan." Kyouya said quietly.
"I looked into her records of her first physician, she was recommend for home studies, so the academy switched into independent studies, an alternative." Yoshio went over to the coffee table, grabbing the files. "she's considered too fragile to be roaming around school, so both myself and Fujioka-san have come to a conclusion."
"…" Kyouya didn't look at him, he just waited.
"She will move into this estate, and she will share your room." His father announced. "Her father will be moved into an apartment that is closer to here, and will under protection." He the added as he began to leave the family room, "it's obvious that Fujioka Haruhi didn't want anyone to figure this out."
Yoshio stopped in place for the moment, "also," he turned his head slightly, "since you enjoy sexual practice with her, might I suggest you to take care of your future child?" Then he walked off, "you have a week to bring her to the estate."
Haruhi sighed with a very big headache growing because of yesterdays' events, her father yelled at her. It actually scared her too, so she didn't bother to sleep last night because his voice kept ringing in her mind. The twins were getting really worried about Haruhi, she barely ate today, and she's been very quiet.
The bell rang, and classes were over.
"Is there anywhere you have to go to before hitting the Music Room?" Hikaru asked.
There was a long pause, and she smiled weakly, "go on without me, I'll be late."
Kaoru looked at her in front of her desk, "daijobu? You look really awful."
"I don't like taking all the vitamins I was given," Haruhi said quietly, "and I couldn't sleep last night because otousan found out… and he yelled at me… he was shocked."
"Shocked about what?" The twins asked on reflex.
Her head shook, then looked up at the two, "I'm… not going to host today, so, go on ahead and get dressed for whatever the event is, I'll be over there later, I promise."
Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged worried glances, but wouldn't press her forth on the mysterious subject. The two left, and she say at her desk for a little longer before grabbing her things and walking up to the superintendents office. Haruhi asked why he told her father, only to hear that he thought Ryouji knew about the situation.
One minute, she thinks that she can handle everything alone, and then the next day, her father finds out. Truthfully, she was going to tell him when she was ready, but because he found out before she could explain, it was chaos. Ryouji was angry that she didn't tell him, sad that she didn't tell him, and so confused to why she hid it.
None of that was on purpose.
When was the last time she heard her father so angry, so confused and hurt because of something that she did? It's been so long that she didn't know, it was making her head hurt even more at the moment. Yuzuru saw that she was in pain and said that she should go home right now, but she refused.
"I want to say sayanora to the others." Haruhi said softly and left the office.
"I think I should've told her the Ohtori's know…"
Haruhi was getting so tired of walking around, especially up and down the stairs, don't they have any elevators? Finally rounding the hallway, the Third Music Room was in sight, so she sighed and continued forth. How would the Host Club take it; the fact that she wasn't going to be in the Host Club anymore, or school for that matter.
She opened the door and the Host Club greeted her as if she was a customer, so it was obviously an accident. The Host Club had mistaken her as a customer coming into the Third Music Room, so she sighed. An apology for their wasted efforts of their charming voices to her, but she was too tired for that right now.
"Ah! Haruhi! You're late-!" Tamaki beamed happily, but was interrupted.
"What do you think you're doing here." Kyouya asked angrily, walking toward her.
"I was coming to say-," Haruhi saw his cheek, "Kyouya-senpai, what happened."
He slapped her hand away from his face, "why didn't you tell me when you knew?"
"Tell you what?" The natural looked at him confusedly, her brows furrowed.
His hands gripped her upper arms, "you said you would tell me if you were!"
"Let go of me! That hurts!" Haruhi tried to leave his grasps.
"Kyouya-kun, let Haruhi-kun go, he can't take too much pressure right now," Yuzuru frowned at the rough scene. "Haruhi-kun, gomen, I forgot to tell you that I thought the family knew, so I also congratulated them yesterday, along with your chichi."
The Host Club members stared, the customers stared, everyone stared at Kyouya who held her. They didn't understand what in the world was going on, but it scared quite a number of girls. Haruhi looked pained by his hold, so Kyouya took in a deep breath, and sighed before anything.
His grip loosened lightly and looked at her, bringing his hands up to cup her face and asked more softly, "why didn't you tell me about it when you found out?"
"I didn't want you to find out…" Haruhi admitted quietly.
He forced her to look up at him, showing her he was calm, "naze?"
"K-kowakatta," she rubbed her eyes, not able to take the pressure.
Seeing through the wall she placed over herself for this past week, after she knew what was happening, she seemed different. He knew he was being too aggressive with her, a sixteen year old girl who was pregnant with his child. There was a long silence in the Third Music Room, and it had to be broken before he lost it again.
"Why were you afraid of telling me?" Kyouya asked quietly.
She sniffled, "I-I knew you would be angry, I thought… for sure I wouldn't…" she started to choke on sobs, "but they said I was… k-kowakatta…" she repeated.
"You're not telling me everything." The shadow king knew her just as well.
"I… I didn't want you to get into trouble…" Haruhi hiccuped, hating confessions.
Kyouya mentally cursed at himself and pulled her against his chest carefully, letting her cry. He was pretty stupid to yell at her about their personal business, but he tried to call her last night, and she ignored him. His frustration built more through out the day, and when he saw her, he just had to know right then and there.
Giving the two a few moments with each other, Yuzuru came over and placed a hand on back softly. Haruhi looked at the superintendent, and knew what he was going to say to her; time to go. Kyouya caressed her cheek once, causing her to look at him now, only to see that he didn't mean to vent out on her.
"The limousine is waiting for you Haruhi-kun, I'll take you home." Yuzuru informed.
"…un…" she said quietly, started to follow him the superintendent.
"Matte," Kyouya sighed and looked to Takashi. "Do you mind carrying Haruhi to the limousine," he asked, "it would be bad if he falls in his condition."
"Un." Takashi came over and picked her up in his arms carefully.
"Right then, let's go then shall we?" Yuzuru lead the way.
Takashi followed the superintendent with Haruhi in his arms, never noticing her every crying, at least not this much before. Her face was red and puffy, when she felt that the senior was looking at her, she hid her face against his chest. Yuzuru waited for Takashi to keep up with him since the senior was being careful as he was told to.
Kyouya sighed and pushed his glasses up and turned away, but she spoke, "Kyouya."
The senior stopped because she called out the juniors' name, so he turned around and she looked at him. Kyouya turned around and looked at her calmly, wondering what it was that she wanted to say to him. Her eyes were tinted red, as expected from a pregnant female; actually, pregnancy explained her unreadable attitude.
Haruhi then said quietly to him, though everyone heard, "hontou ni gomen nasi…"
With that, she returned her head into Takashi's chest, and he started to follow after Yuzuru once again. Everyone looked at Kyouya to see him turn away from everyone, and he seemed very calm for some reason. Tamaki looked at Kyouya's hands though, and they were shaking in tight fists, but he didn't understand.
Kyouya went over and sat down to think to himself of what he just did in front of everyone. Some customers might've been scared because he acted so carelessly in front of them, in front of Haruhi. Why wasn't he cool and collected as he usually was though, why couldn't he contain that furious anger inside like always?
"Kyou-chan," Mitsukuni called out next to him, "daijobu?"
"Hai," he replied quietly, staring at the table.
"What was that about? Are you and Haru-"
"Iie, we're not." Kyouya turned to Tamaki, "I think it's best to let the girls go."
Tamaki glared at him, still a little bit angry at him, but listened to him and said that today was going to be cut short. The twins helped gather them up, but what they really wanted to do was go comfort their poor friend. Soon Takashi returned to the Third Music Room with his coat soaked, so he pulled it off temporarily for it to dry.
The host king wasn't going to push this aside, "Kyouya," he spoke too demandingly to be himself while he crossed his arms angrily, "what happened between you two?"
"They found out what we did in Nagasaki, so they got angry." Kyouya stated plainly.
"They?" Mitsukuni asked curiously.
"Ranka-san, and otousan." He replied.
"That would make sense," Kaoru commented.
Hikaru knew there was more to it, "…" So did Tamaki.
"You're not telling us everything!" Tamaki yelled.
Standing up immediately after the Host Club king yelled at him accusingly, Kyouya stared at him face to face. The two seniors and freshmen began to step away a little, but would somehow try to separate them if needed. Kyouya scoffed at this and grabbed his laptop case that also had his notes in it as well.
"So?" Kyouya asked and started to walk away. "I'm leaving early to think."
"You're not going anywhere Kyouya!" Tamaki stated defensively.
"If it was something that you should know, Haruhi would've told you." He left.
"Kyouya-!" The host king was grabbed by the shoulder, so he glanced over.
"Just leave it alone." Hikaru stated before releasing him.
"Hikaru…" Kaoru looked at him curiously.
"Perhaps you don't care about-" Tamaki was interrupted.
"Don't you dare say I don't care about Haruhi." Hikaru demanded.
"Hika-chan, daijobu?" Mitsukuni frowned worriedly.
"It's just that… since Tuesday, she's been carrying a big vanilla envelope, you know? Like a secret file or something." Hikaru sat down and rested his arm on the side, "Haruhi was really upset when I took it from her- I was playing, so what ever it is…" he paused for the moment, thinking, "what ever it is, she doesn't want us to know about it. If that's what Haruhi wants, then fine, I'm not going to question it."
Kaoru smiled, "someone grew up."
"Humph," Hikaru looked away.
"Haru-chan has been acting a little weird this week." Mitsukuni frowned.
"I got it! Tomorrow will go give her a surprise visit!" Tamaki stated.
"How does that work with Haruhi and Kyouya…" The twins asked.
"Simple! He's not invited!" Tamaki stated.
The others looked at him confusedly for the moment and then took a glance at each other, wondering how that was going to work out. But they all shrugged it off as if it was nothing and they started to plan things out for when they would go visit her. It was a little unfortunate on how they didn't know how bad their plan would blow up.
Author Note: Jee, I wonder how that's going to work out. Oh, and about Kyouya being a little uncharacteristic... well, shit, you just found out your gonna be a father, and your a rich bastard in high school. I doubt things would be that simple for him, ne?
Next Update: Wednesday or Thursday or ten reviews; I'm a bit busy.
