A/N; Happy Fourth of July to my fellow Americans.
"Uh oh!" Haruhi groaned as the owner of the familiar voice grew closer.
"Haruhi, come here my baby girl," the woman sighed as the brunette was crushed against the new comer's chest.
"Dad," Haruhi sighed in annoyance as she tried to get out of her parent's tight grip.
"DAD!?" the twins shouted in unison as they looked at each other then back to the father and daughter in confusion.
Looking over at the person who was apparently male the twins noted that the man was dress impeccably. He wore a knee length black skirt that flared out at the bottom just slightly, the blouse was hidden by a dark trench style coat but glimpses of light blue peaked through. His long red hair was half up half down and was held in place by a large clip that allowed the left over strands to fall down with the rest of his hair. He wore dark heels and light makeup.
"If that is how her dad dresses then she really has no excuse," Hikaru whispered as Kaoru looked over at his brother shushing him.
"Dad what are you doing here?" Haruhi asked as she glared over at the elder twin having heard his catty remark.
"How could you?" the man whimpered as he pouted perfectly glossed lips.
"How could I what?" the brunette asked as she turned her attention back to her father.
"How could you not tell me it's parents day," Ranka whined.
"Dad," Haruhi sighed as she was about explain but was interrupted by her father.
"I mean I know I can be a bit eccentric…" the red head said as he shrugged off the jacket revealing a light blue long sleeved blouse that was accompanied with a vest that matched the skirt he was wearing.
"That's the understatement of the century," Haruhi muttered under her breath as she rolled her eyes.
"But I am your father and I have the right to attend parent's day!" the man said stomping his heel clad foot down not hearing his daughter's muttering.
"Dad, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to feel like you had to come. I know you got home late from work last night and today is your only day off this week…" Haruhi began explaining but was cut off as Ranka bent over pulling his daughter to his chest.
"Aww my precious little girl is worried about her Daddy," the crossdresser cried happily as he swung the honor student back and forth slightly.
"Dad!" Haruhi shouted in annoyance and soon she was dropped back on the ground as Ranka muttered an apology.
"Aww are you a daddy's girl?" Hikaru asked as he leaned over to looking in to her eyes.
"Better a daddy's girl than a mama's boy, tell me little imp where is your mommy," Haruhi quipped back crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"I… how... you…" the elder twin sputtered as a light blush ran across his cheeks.
"Oh my precious doll that was divine!" a female voice called from across the class room as the three first year students looked over were the familiar voice was coming from.
"Mom!" Hikaru shouted in embracement as Kaoru snickered next to his brother.
"Oh you must be Mrs. Hitachiin; I have to thank you for letting me know about parent's day," Ranka said happily as he walked over towards the fashion designer.
"Mr. Fujioka you look superb," Yuzuha gushed as she looked the man up and down and as he was so used to the attention Ranka spun on his heels so that the woman could get a good look at his outfit.
"Please call me Ranka," the crossdresser spoke as he held out his hand for Yuzuha.
"Well then you must call me Yuzuha," Mrs. Hitachiin said as she took Ranka's hand shaking it lightly.
"Well I must say it's not every day I get to meet such fabulous designer," Ranka sighed as he smiled brightly.
"Oh you're too kind," the fashion designer said as she waved her hand in the air.
"Haruhi why didn't you tell daddy you made friends with the sons of one of the hottest designers?" Ranka squealed as he looked over at his daughter who was still standing next to the twins.
"Who said we're friends?!" both Hikaru and Haruhi hissed in unison, as Kaoru looked at the both of them in surprise.
"Aww that's it you both are so cute together," Yuzuha sighed as she took a picture of both of them standing so close to each other. "I know you both should join us for our spring break, our family is going to be staying in Bali at our house there and you must come along I insist," the matriarch of the Hitachiin family said as she looked over at Ranka with a mischievous smile on her face.
"I… we couldn't possibly…" Ranka stammered as the woman shook her head as she placed a finger against the man's lips silencing him.
"No, no it is my treat in fact you will be helping me, I want to start a line for transvestites and drag queens and I need someone who knows the challenges that many of you face. Plus I am sure you have more contacts in that world than I do, so really if you would let me pick your brain it would be a tremendous help," the fashion designer plead as she pouted lightly.
"Well if you put it like that…" Ranka answered quietly as he mulled the idea around in his head for a few moments.
"Dad… dad… no…no," Haruhi plead as she shook her head no as a grin appeared on her father's face.
"Of course we will, Haruhi baby we have to go shopping," Ranka yelled in excitement as he jumped up and down a few times as he clapped his hands.
"That won't be necessary; I already have suitcases full of cloths that I designed for this little cutie," Yuzuha said happily as she pulled out her phone sending a text to her assistant asking her to at the two Fujioka's to the flight plans.
"When do we leave?" Ranka asked as Yuzuha placed an arm around the man's shoulder.
"We leave in two weeks from Sunday," the woman said with a smile as she pulled him close to her.
"Perfect plenty of time to let my boss know," the crossdresser said as he looked over his shoulder winking at his daughter as she groaned as if in pain.
"Now Ranka I was wondering are you a transvestite or just a drag queen, how do you see yourself?" Yuzuha said as she turned the two of them to look out the window.
"Honesty I see myself as equally both male and female, I tend to dress according to how I feel when I get up in the morning but I do work at a transvestite bar," Ranka said firmly as he looked over at the woman he was talking to.
The twins gapped in shock as the two adults continued to talk; they both took after their mother's personality. Never before had the twins seen their mother take to anyone that fast, in fact if someone had told them that they were fast friends with their mother they would call them liars and torment them merciless. Kaoru shook his head as he head a continuous light thumping as he looked over to where the noise was coming from and found Haruhi was sitting back at her desk banging her head on its surface.
"Haruhi?" the younger twin asked as he placed a hand on the girl's shoulder as the brunette stopped the assault on her head but kept it laying against the wooden top.
"Leave me alone to die," the honor student groaned.
"Baby I don't understand? Why don't you want to go?" Ranka asked later that night as Haruhi paced in the living room of their small apartment.
"Dad those boys cause nothing but trouble where ever they go," the brunette growled out
"Honey you're so serious. Everyone needs a little mischief in their life," the crossdresser snickered.
"Mischief to those boys is equal to a natural disaster," Haruhi hissed as she looked over at her father.
"Oh their not that bad," Ranka said as he swiped his hand in the air.
"Yes, yes, they are and Hikaru is the worse one. I mean he is arrogant, selfish, conceded…" Haruhi said as she counted off Hikaru's offences on her fingers unaware of the blush that began to coat her cheeks.
"Oh Haruhi," Ranka gasped in recognition as his daughter stopped to look up at her father.
"What dad? What is it? mean …" as Haruhi continued listing off every reason she had to despise the elder twin Ranka looked over at the picture of his beloved wife as he whispered a prayer to her in his head.
Oh Kotoko if only you could be here to see this. Our baby girl is in love.
