The host club hosts sat in the waiting room of the hospital. Haruhi was starting to feel a bit of deja vu as she wrapped her fingers around the cup of cocoa, gazing into its merky depths as if being a tea leaf reader. Weariness came over her, but she knew that she must give strength to the poor girl laying in that hospital bed. Her brown eyes looked at the window of glass seeing Mori standing next to the bed, holding the frail girl's hand. Haruhi could see even from where she was standing he was worried, though Mori-sempai usually kept a mystery around him.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Suzima looked up at Mori giving him a gentle smile, her fingers entwined with his as she let out a slow shallow breath in the oxygen mask over her face. Mori stood there a solumn gaze in his eyes as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "You should rest. It will give you strength again" he said quietly as he reached his hand out and mocved strands of her hair aside. She turned her head and leaned her face into his touch a bit, sliding his hand along her cheek.
"Mori...theres really no point. I knew...this was coming for a long time." she said her voice starting to break as she looked at him, her brow knitting a little bit. He placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. "Please indulge me Suzima-chan"he said softly and locked gaze with her. Suzima nodded her head and slowly laid back
"Wheres...Mitskuni?" Suzima asked quietly, letting out a choking breath, inhaling deeply into the mask. Mori gave a trace of a smile "He said he wanted to get something for you" he told her, watching her trying to catch her breath. "Hes such a kind person. I wish I had more time to spend with him, and you" she said her voice starting to break out of emotion.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
"Don't talk like that, Suzi-chan" he said inturrupting her words, not wanting her to get out of breath again. Suzima closed her eyes then opened them and smiled at him faintly. "I don't want to hurt you Mori. Perhaps you should go. I don't want you to see when I..."her voice died in her throat as tears pricked her eyes. Mori leaned forward and wrapped his arms around her shoulders lightly, treating her like a fragile butterfly, fearful of crushing her. "Your not going to die.."Mori said in a determined voice, sliding a hand through her silken hair.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
"Takashi, don't be sad. I am happy because I got to know you, and have given me so much joy. Before I met you my life was very bleak and sad. My life has been filled with doctors and tutors before I came to Ouran. The host club is a place of warmth, and in your arms..I feel like I am at home"she said her voice getting weaker as she talked. Suzi closed her eyes for a moment and swallowed hard feeling herself getting tired, her energy slipping away steadily. Mori pulled her closer and felt her body shivering against his. "I want you to do something for me Takashi...I want you to take care of Mitskuni always. He is such a pure heart and good spirit. Please make sure he is always smiling"she said and went quiet as her eyes slowly started to close.
"Please hang on. Don't leave me!" Mori said his low voice rising almost in a panicking way. He looked down at her with his gray eyes feeling emotion rolling through him. Suzima raised her hand and touched his cheek. "I...will always...love you, Takashi"she said weakly, her eyes shut, her breath ceasing. Mori held her close and started to shake her a little bit. "Suzima! Suzima!" he cried, holding onto her.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

"Takashi! Suzi-chan! I brought a-" Honey started as he walkd to the door. Haruhi stood up seeing the Loli-boy go rigid where he stopped. He stood there looking at Suzima rigid in Mori's arms. Silent tears rolled down his cheeks as he stroked her hair. "No...she...can't be..."he said tears rising in his eyes. Mori looked at Honey and for a moment his eyes widened, reflecting the suprise and sadness in his cousin's eyes. "Mitsukuni..." Mori said softly, not sure how to say the words that the blond haired boy already knew. Honey backed up letting out a cry and turned and ran down the hall, the beautiful flowers he had brought scattered to the floor.
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
A few days later the funeral it was an unfortunately beautiful day, not a day for a funeral. Despite the fact it was an influential family it was a small, personal funeral. Mori was standing in a gray suit, his hands folded infront of him, his face filled with weariness as if he hadn't slept since Suzima's passing. With the death of the girl Honey had also taken off. The whole host club was deeply effected by Suzima's passing, even Tamaki looked less boisterous then usual, his face solumn. Haruhi felt deeply saddened wishing she had gotten to knw the young woman more. The funeral started and Haurhi's brown eyes fixed on the white coffin. It was inturrupted when a black limo arrived and Honey got out wearing a black tux, his hair ruffled. He carried a bowl in his hand. Inside was sea water with beautiful shells Haruhi had never seen before and tropical flowers.
"It was Suzi-chan's dream to go to Hawaii since..she couldn't go there. I brought it to her...because it was special to her"he said his voice wavering as he approached the closed coffin and placed it ontop of the coffin, tears rolling down his pale cheeks. Mori walked over to Honey and bent down and wrapped his arms around his younger cousin tightly."She would of loved it very much"he said softly and rubbed Honey's back gently. "I miss her.."Honey said softly. "She will never leave us, Mitsukuni. Suzima will always be in our hearts" he told the younger boy. At that moment the sun shined through the trees and against the glass bowl, one of the pink flowers in the bowl the sunlight went through causing a beautiful panaroma on the white coffin. Honey suddenly smiled. "Your right Takashi"he said.
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
