Chapter 16
What Father Wants
- Previously -
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.
- Now -
Knock, knock.
Haruhi opened the door slowly and looked up to see Kyouya at the door, so she tried to close the door. Kyouya placed his foot in the way just in time, and slowly opened the door again, this time letting himself inside. After the door was closed, he looked at her for quite some time, not knowing if he should apologizing for all this or not.
But he did.
"This isn't your fault, it's mine." Kyouya admitted.
"I didn't think I would be pregnant," she replied.
"About earlier, I didn't mean to yell at you."
"You yelled at me, otousan yelled at me…" She trailed off.
Kyouya sighed and led her to the low table where the family and guests would eat their meals together. He placed her on one side, and sat across from her; just by looking at her you could tell that she was crying earlier. His mind had been reciting a speech since he had left school, but it was always different when it came to it.
"My father slapped me when I came from school, when he told me the news that you were pregnant, I was surprised, …and angry." Kyouya then added, "I would've liked knowing before my father did, I would've liked it if I was told by you."
"I knew you would get into trouble," Haruhi rubbed her eyes, she was hating how she was being such an emotional wreck, she's diagnosed for pregnancy for only a week-
"I have to make up for that night," he stated, interrupting her thoughts.
Her attention went to him, "how? Why would you even-"
"Growing inside you is not just your child, but mine as well." Kyouya sighed, "It seems that Ranka-san talked to my otousan yesterday as well."
"My otousan apologized for yelling at me once I got home, he said that he was just really surprised and scared about what would happen." Haruhi replied.
"Listen to me," his tone was soft, but also stern so she would pay attention, "both of them want you to move into the Ohtori estate, you'll be treated with care there." He then added to her comfort, "Ranka-san can't live with us, but there is an apartment close by with rooms available. This way, it will be less complicated for us."
Haruhi looked at him, with somewhat of a pouting face, "will I get my own room?"
"No, you unfortunately have to be in my room. Otousan said that 'since you enjoy sexual practice with her, might I suggest you to take care of your future child,' but I wasn't all that surprised." He glanced at her quietly. "Nani-yo."
"You said unfortunately." She stated.
"Having a pregnant onna in bed with me doesn't sound pleasant, especially your little mood swings get bigger." His eyes rolled in a non-caring manner. "But I'll put up with it, since it's my responsibility, and I want to help." He looked at her boredly.
Haruhi smiled weakly, "arigato gozaimas."
"Since I'm not great at proposing," he simply gave her a box, "will you marry me, once we're older that is. After all, it's the right thing to do."
Grabbing the box gently, she inspected the ring, it was plain, but beautiful, "I don't want anything to be a bother," she looked at him, "you're putting too much on me…"
"It's best to have united ryoshin, ne?" Kyouya stated, "you can think about it, but until then, how about you come move in to the Ohtori estate? It's safer for you."
"Safer?" Haruhi looked puzzled.
"If media found out I was going to be a father, you'd be swarmed over with many questions, and any against the Ohtori family would to take you, that would be rather misfortunate, wouldn't it?" Kyouya added, "Ranka-san will be under protection."
"Okay." She replied.
The older teen looked at her surprisedly, did she accept the suggestion, "nani?"
"I'll go to the estate as soon as otousan gets transferred to a new apartment." She replied, "I would like him close after all."
Kyouya smirked at this, "very well," he grabbed his phone, "it's Kyouya…"
"I didn't think that would happen so fast…" Haruhi said slowly, sitting on Kyouya's bed while he was coming up the stairs so that they could talk.
"Who did you think you were dealing with, Tamaki?" He asked curiously.
"Well, iie, it's just that it took only two hours." She sighed.
"If you're tired, go ahead and rest." The shadow king suggested.
"I want to start my homework," Haruhi replied.
He looked at her confusedly. "Wasn't today you're last day?"
"I have independent studies, I do classes at home- er, here."
"How is that possible?" Kyouya asked curiously.
She couldn't help but laugh lightly at him, it was actually common in high school to have this type of alternative program, but in an elite school? Haruhi laid backwards on his bed, on their bed, and she tried to think a little bit, wondering. Her idea of explaining might've been complicated, but she looked at him and went simpler.
"I collect homework once a week from school. So I only have to go there once a week." Haruhi stated; that should be easy enough for even Tamaki.
"I'll take it in for you then," Kyouya stated, and she looked at him, "your staying here unless you want to see Ranka-san. If the others' see you…" he trailed off.
"Even you're ashamed," she mumbled quietly.
"You hid it from everyone, so don't complain that I'm ashamed."
That was un-called for.
Haruhi turned to lay on her side despite it being uncomfortable, and Kyouya sighed at this. Didn't he already mention months ago that he was bad in relationships; did she think that her being pregnant would change that? Looks like he would have to search the internet on 'how to be a dad' instead of 'how to be a boyfriend' now.
"You didn't want others to know, so I'll take in your homework so that way no one will get any ideas." He then added, not knowing if it would help, "if there was anything to be ashamed of about this situation of ours, is that it could've waited."
"Tamaki-senpai called me when you were telling the movers what to do," Haruhi had changed the subject, "you and him fought after I left…"
"The Host Club is severing Haruhi, it will continue because of this-"
"I want to sleep," she interrupted.
Kyouya dropped the subject and stood up, "I'll do my homework."
"Fine," the pregnant one whispered.
"To be on the safe side, for yourself," Kyouya paused, "it's best not to talk to the members of the Host Club, no matter how much you want to. No contacting ever."
"What am I, …Tamaki-senpais haha?" Haruhi sighed and closed her eyes.
Next day
Knock, knock.
"Haruhi!" Everyone cheered, other than Takashi.
A man opened the door, scratching his head exhaustedly at the people disturbing him and his wife's sleeping. They froze in shock, wondering who the heck this man was, and why was he there in Haruhi's apartment. The man was getting annoyed at their staring, so to break it up, he decided to speak to them.
"What the hell do you kids want?" He grumbled.
"I-isn't this the Fujioka residence?" Tamaki asked.
"Not anymore, the Suzuki residence, we just moved in."
"Eh? Haru-chan moved?" Mitsukuni frowned worriedly.
"Hai, the movers were rushing it too. Damn onnanoko, it seemed like they were leaving the country or something too." He yawned. "Now scram kids." He closed the door in front of them, locked it, and went to bed.
"To Ranka-san's work!" Tamaki claimed.
They went to a man who just came out. "Excuse me, will you ask Ranka-san out for us?" Tamaki asked; they weren't allowed inside being under aged.
"Ranka?" The man raised an eyebrow and did as told. "Gomen, the guy moved sometime yesterday, forgot where it was though they he and his kid moved to."
They let him leave.
Another man was going in.
"Excuse me," Tamaki called out, "can you call out the manager?"
"Eh?" The man looked at him curiously.
"Nani-yo." The manager appeared, arms crossed angrily.
"Oh! You're the manager?" Tamaki beamed.
"We don't sell to kids." He stated.
"Iie, iie, we would just like to know where Ranka-san is."
"The guy and Haru-chan moved. Nothing else to say." The manager stated.
"Do you know where they moved to?" Mitsukuni asked.
"Don't know, it was sudden. I got work, so get outta here." He replied went back in.
Hikaru grabbed his cell phone and dialed her number and- "nani?"
Kaoru looked at him, "hmm? Are you trying to call Haruhi?"
He looked at him, "I was… demo…"
Everyone looked at him, "…"
"It's disconnected…" Hikaru stated.
"This is all Kyouya's doing! I know it is!" Tamaki yelled. "His chichi isn't there today, so lets go over there and find out where she is!" He stormed to the limousine.
"Kyouya-senpai are you sure?" Haruhi asked confusedly.
"Tamaki will find out your gone and will come here." He stated.
"Hai, demo…" she frowned, "otousan might not be happy about it."
"Don't worry about it, just spend the weekend with Fuyumi-neesan."
Her head nodded slowly, "if you're sure about this, demo-"
"Don't worry about anything," Kyouya patted her head softly, "just go now before they get here. Do your homework while your over there." He then remembered about something and gave her a piece of paper, "give this to her, she'll deal with it."
Haruhi inspected it. "What is it?"
"A request for her. Direct contact to the Hitachiin estate can be worrisome."
She looked at him with a pout, "I'm not having Yuzuha-san do my clothing."
"We'll see," Kyouya gave her a new phone, "all family, security, and emergency numbers are in this, and on speed dial in case you need anything."
She smiled weakly and walked off, "I'm not even in second trimester and you try to act like a papa-san," Haruhi waved without looking, "I'll be back on Monday."
Haruhi left the estate and went into the limousine with Kyouya at the double doors of the entrance. He waved lightly at her before she got inside; it was something he looked up last night: even if you're not happy with her leaving, smile and waved. Her hand waved back and her lips turned up into a smile for him and then went inside.
As soon as the limousine left, another one soon appeared, and Kyouya knew that it was Tamaki and the others. It didn't matter though; Haruhi just left for the weekend to be with his sister, and everything was spotless so it looked like she hadn't been there. The only thing that would be an issue would be them looking through their wardrobes because all of her clothes were put away.
Tamaki got out and ran to him, "KYOUYA!"
"Why not call first?" He asked curiously.
"Where's Haruhi! What did you do!"
"What are you talking about…" Kyouya asked.
"EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT THEY MOVED!" Tamaki yelled.
"…and you blame me for this?" Kyouya straightened out his shirt and dusted it off, "I haven't talked to Haruhi for I don't know how long." He answered truthfully; for him it was just minutes, but Tamaki might think yesterday. "Why, what happened?"
"We were going to surprise her with a visit without you!" Tamaki stated.
"Does hat mean your breaking the ties with the Host Club?" He asked curiously, "if so, I think Haruhi was the one who said that she would be upset about it."
"…I'm not breaking the Host Club…" the host king said quietly, the others came.
"Yelling at me for something I didn't do makes me feel like leaving." He replied.
"You wouldn't leave, we were partners in making the club, and your chichi would be disappointed in the fact that you would leave." Tamaki retorted.
Kyouya crossed his hands, "actually, things were changed recently since he found out about Nagasaki," he shrugged, "it's possible otousan sent her to some other part of Japan because of it, but I wouldn't know." His eyes met his, "anyhow, about the club, I wouldn't be scolded at for leaving it, however, I promised someone I would stay." Then added, "but I may be quite busy till mid terms."
Mitsukuni frowned and held the stuffed animal tightly, "Kyou-chan, you really don't know where Haru-chan is? It's like she just, …vanished…"
It hurt him to lie to the seniors, "gomen nasi."
Hikaru tightened his fist, "why wouldn't she tell us!"
Kaoru frowned, "maybe she'll still go to Ouran?"
"Ah! That's right!" Tamaki roared. "Just because she moved doesn't mean that she doesn't go to Ouran anymore! We'll expect to see her on Monday!"
Kyouya shook his head and turned to enter the estate-
"Hold it!" The host king stated. "We're going to inspect your estate to make sure that you're not lying to us! Haruhi might be here for some reason!"
His eyes rolled, "if we broke up three months ago, barely talked to each other, and had a fight yesterday… do you really think she would be here?"
"Don't know till we look!" The twins entered the estate, looking everywhere.
A butler came over to Kyouya, "Kyouya-obocchama, is something the matter?"
Kyouya looked at him, "iie, there simply looking for Haruhi."
He looked to Tamaki, "she has not been here for quite sometime."
"Hai, but they won't listen to me." Kyouya stated.
After two hours, the twins returned with a stubborn mood, claiming that they couldn't find her. They gave up easily and said that they wanted to go home, so the waited in the limousine. The two seniors joined them in the limousine and Tamaki stayed at the entrance a little longer in front of Kyouya.
"…gomen." Tamaki said quietly.
"Hmm?" He looked at him curiously.
"I shouldn't have blamed you…"
His shoulders shrugged. "Doesn't matter."
"Eh?" The host king looked at him confusedly.
"Like I said, I promised another that I would stay in the Host Club," there was a pause, "however, there is going to be a lot of complications with it…"
