The Fall

Rated: T
The end of Christmas break came and all the students were returning to classes. This was quite usual for all school and even Ouran Academy. The host club didn't blink an eye or move out of step. Haruhi thought that she would at least get a break from it for a minute, but Tamaki was already regaling her with of list of things he wanted from the 'commoners market'. With a long sigh she stared at the list wondering what this was all about. Raising her eyebrows she looked at Tamaki with her brown eyes. "What is with the long list, sempai?"she asked. Tamaki looked over giving one of his charming smiles. "Oh its not for an event or anything but I was thinking that it would be a treat for the students to sample some of the commoner foods. The commoners coffee took off so well that I thought it would be a great idea to expose them to even more foods"he said as if that was the greatest idea in the world. It sounded down right stupid to her, but she merely sighed knowing by now that arguing with him is pointless. By the time she got back the Host club was in full swing. She was just glad there wasn't a cosplay theme today which made things alot easier and maybe a bit more stable. There were girls already sitting waiting for her to sit down. Going into the prep room she placed the bags down and unpacked them quickly.
Haruhi did enjoy talking talking to the other students, though the situation was a bit strange. Things seemed a bit amiss today. It took a moment to realize what was missing. The talk of what happened at the Christmas festival was still going on. The unusual part of this was that Suzima was not there.
"Kyoya-sempai, wheres Suzima?"She asked softly finding this very unusual especially the events that transpired last time. Mori suprised everyone by giving a Christmas kiss to the girl.
"Shes in the hospital right now and couldn't attend"he said under his breath since this news wasn't something to be leaked to the whole Host club, since everyone knows how they get. The poor girl needed time to rest up. Haruhi nodded her head and frowned deeply feeling a slight ache in her chest as she went about her host duties, remembering when her own mother was sick.
After school was done Haruhi decided to visit Suzima. When she got there Mori was already there standing next to the bed. He turned his head and looked at her when she crossed the threshold (how he does it noone knows..his Mori senses were tingling).
"How did you know?"she asked as Suzima smiled at her faintly, looking appreciative for any company she can get.
"...Kyoya.."he said and looked back at the girl laying in the hospital bed, his expression unreadable.
"Oh. How are you feeling Suzima?"Haruhi asked looking concerned. Suzima smiled faintly."A little better but tired. Thank you for coming, You, Mori, and Honey are appreciated company"She said softly, her eyes looking tired and her body was very weak.
"Honey-sempai?"
"Hey Haru-chans here too! Guess what Suzi-chan there is a machine that you put quaters in and treats come out!"he said having armfuls of sugary snacks from the vending machine. Haruhi stared at Honey for a long moment fathoming that Honey would of never come in contact with a vending machine.
(Yes to be continued. This chapter came to mind pretty quickly.)
