Hi Guys this is an updated version, so read on!

"Mommy!" Akira tugged on her sleeve to give her his sweet smile.

Looking down at him she smiled back, "Hi Sweety."

Akira frowned, "What's wrong mom? Are you still upset about those guys?" no matter what her son will always be able to read her. Can't he be a normal boy?

She shook her head, "I'm just stressed, there has been a lot of work and I need to make a phone call, it's already been two days." I mumbled the last part to myself.

Akira nodded still frowning, "Mom don't work too hard okay?"

Smiling at him she thought, 'My boy sure is perceptive. He always knows what's going on most of the time.'

Akira walked out of the office to go bug the ladies at the front desk, they would always give him sushi or candy, which ever they had on hand. That spoiled boy.

Haruhi picked up her office phone so Kyoya wouldn't get her cells number and dialed.

It rang once then a smooth and calm voice answered, "Hello Haruhi."

She took a deep breath and spoke, "Kyoya. So when is it a good time to finish our meeting so we can settle the matter?"

"Well today would be fine for all of us, since they're right next to me." Kyoya sounded irritated and she could hear him scold Tamaki for being too loud.

She smirked. 'Still the same I guess.' "That's fine. Where would you like to meet?"

Kyoya didn't answer for a short while, "Sorry for this but Tamaki and the Twins insisted on seeing your company, were outside the front entrance."

Haruhi sighed in frustration, "This better not happen again Kyoya. I'll have Kai come show you up. See you in a few." She hung up without waiting for his reply. 'Those bastards.'

Haruhi sat in her office when Kai came in, "Haruhi, their in conference room one waiting. Here, go change into this. Call it my own personal revenge for upsetting you and giving you more stress which you really don't need. I'll keep Akira busy."

With that he smiled and walked out leaving me to change.

I pulled on the outfit and looked into the mirror. It was a dark green dress. The bottom came to above my knees and hugged my legs showing off the slight curves I have. The sleeves were elbow length and the collar slightly lower than what I'm used to but still classy.

The shoes were dark gray slight high heeled short boots with a set of gray rhinestone bracelets and a necklace to match. I left my hair in it's up do and didn't bother to re-pin the strands that hung off the sides along with my bangs. I walked out and headed to the conference room with my briefcase in hand, smiling to myself.

As I walked down the halls my employees bowed and some showed slight blushes. I smile at them and continue to the door pausing slightly before I open it. I heard loud conversations as I walked in but they stopped once I closed the door behind me.

I keep my mask on and refused to show my emotions as I see their shocked faces.

Tamaki spoke first, "H-Haruhi, um… ." His face reddened along with the rest, some less than others.

No one else spoke as I sat down at the head of the table and started to talk through the business procedures. Surprisingly they listened intently once they realized I wanted to get through this quickly.

Hunny spoke up once all the papers were signed, "Haru-chan you fit female clothing so much better."

I looked at him and it still shocked me that he has matured so much.

Suddenly one of my employees burst in before I could reply. A young woman by the name of Lucy. She had beautiful long red hair and pale blue eyes,

"Haruhi! The senate case is being petitioned for reopening!"

I stand up quickly, "What!?" I yell.

I walked out of the room quickly following her and answered the phone that was handed to me, listening intently to the person on the other line.

I never even noticed the old hosts watch me from a few feet away with interest. My hand came up to my forehead in irritation.

Once the phone was hung up I started to give orders.

I pointed to Lucy, "I need any case work that was done on the Senate case from a month ago."

Herself and another two employees went to fetch them. Kai came in and I looked to him, "Contact the opponents lawyers and set a meeting." He nodded and pulled out his phone.

I looked to another, "Call the court to get the tape of the trial as well as the notes taken. I want to know if we missed anything in protocol to have caused this."

She turned to look at her employees worried faces and spoke, "This is no ones fault everyone, let's just take it one step at a time. We always get it done."

The hosts looked on amazed at the strictness yet kindness of Haruhi. She was calm and collected but firm in her orders. Something they hadn't seen since she broke up the twins fake fight.

Haruhi turned to see them staring, "What is it guys?"

Kaoru spoke, "Well its just-"

Hikaru finished, "a little unusual for you to be so"

"Authoritative." They said together.

Hunny came over looking down on me. 'I need to get used to that.'

"Is everything alright?" he gave me a worried glance.

I looked over and saw matching looks on each one of them and I sighed, "Nothing I can't handle. I need to get back to work."

I started to walk back to my office and was followed. Even if I tried I know they would find a way to see my office. When I walked in I turned to see the guys looking around.

The twins were the first to speak,

"It's kinda." Kaoru started.

"Plain." Hikaru finished.

I mumbled under my breath, "So?"

Kai came in with Akira.

Akira looked at the guys and sneered much to my amusement. He turned to me, "Why are the jerks here?"

This drew the attention of every host.

Tamaki went to grow mushrooms in the corner, "Tamaki! I will kick you out if you ruin my office." Yelling at him obviously didn't help as the dark corner just got bigger.

Mori patted my head to calm me down.

I slapped his hand away.

This earned shocked faces of everyone except Akira and Kai.

The room was silent, not a sound. Never have I done something like that. I took a breath, "It's time for you guys to go. I plan to head home with Akira for the day."

I turned to Kai, "Have the documents delivered to my house?"

Kai smiled and came up and gave me a hug to which I returned, "Call if you need anything at all honey."

I ignored the boys and their reactions to the hug. They had no right to try to tell me who I can be around. Their faces showed they wanted to either strangle

Kai or grab me away from him.

I watched Kai leave the room. Akira sat in my desk chair while I went to the tables in the room.

My room may be plain but it's huge, I don't have enough stuff to fill it with. Dark gray walls and modern decorations. Coffee tables and two couches lay in the middle facing my large dark wood desk. My spinning leather chair holding my son. Boards with papers pinned to them and a few plants placed around.

The only personal items are the few pictures of me and Akira.

I go to grab the few papers I need and I turn to walk back to my desk when Hikaru grabs my wrist.

I look at him and my throat tightens.

He lets go and my arm falls to my side.

'No one knows what to say'

I feel the stares of each host on me as I walk back to my son who is glaring.

The windows outside show the setting sun and the clouds rolling in. Rain slowly hits the windows and I see each host tense, waiting for my reaction to the oncoming storm.

Tamaki speaks, "Are you okay?"

I look at him confused, "Why wouldn't I be?"

Kaoru eyes wide, "B-but the storm."

I smile sadly in realization of old memories.

Kyoya's eyes never leave me; Mori is standing against the wall a look of concern. 'Always the two to calmly watch.'

Hunny comes up to me and tries to reach out to me but Akira steps in between us, "None of you get near my mom, she doesn't need another guy who will make her cry."

My eyes widen with the olds hosts, "Akira!" he flinches when I scold him.

"What does he mean Haruhi?" Hunny's voice is stern.

Lightning flashes and no one answers.

After a moment Akira steps to his mom and grabs her hand, "Can we go home?"

Haruhi nods, "Don't make a mess of my office please." Leaving the hosts once again in an empty room, watching her retreating form.

The only sound is the rain hitting the window.

Kyoya speaks up, "What could have scared her enough that it frightened her more than a storm?"

Alright guys review and tell me how I did
