Hello, hello! Here is the next chapter. I had an idea for this, but I decided to hold off. That's why it took me a while. I know, I say that every time... I wish I could just write this for a living! _ Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter! I have some very exciting things planned so please bear with me! And thank you to HitachinWeasley and everyone that rates and reviews!

It was the day before the festival, a cold and windy Friday to be precise. They were having the festival on the weekend so that everyone could plan and be there on time.

"Olivia, are you coming over today after school still?" Haruhi asked as they sat by the fountain together.

Olivia nodded with a smile, "Yes! Eugene is very excited to see your house. He won't stop talking about it."

She looked up at Eugene and his face was pink. Haruhi smiled and laughed softly, "It's nothing fancy. Defiantly nothing like your house."

"Pish posh!" Olivia said in english and Haruhi raised a brow.

"What now?"

"Oh right, It means… to me, your opinion absurd! I'm sure your house has plenty of charm."

Eugene nodded and Haruhi smiled and laughed, "Well, I hope it lives up to your expectations. I really like it there."

Haruhi smiled warmly, she was recounting all of her fondest memories. The twins walked up and Hikaru leaned Haruhi and Kaoru wrapped his arm around Olivia's shoulder.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" they asked in unison and Olivia couldn't help but smile.

"Yes!" She saw Tamaki walking towards them and she waved happily at him.

"I really am, I want to bring my Mimi some things back."

"You should bring her," Haruhi told her with a welcoming smile, "I think she'd really enjoy it."

Tamaki came and quickly brushed the twins off the girls before sitting next to Olivia. Everyone continued to talk, they were a pretty close knit group of friends presently.

"Hikaru, did you bring the item I requested?"

He nodded and Kaoru pointed over his shoulder to the building, "It's in the club room."

"We'll give it to you before you leave today."

She liked that they swapped sentences, it was really cute. She smiled, she'd requested that they make Haruhi a kimono. She wanted to repay her for the present she'd received from her. The morning bell rang and everyone waved and went their separate ways.

"What did you ask them for?" Tamaki asked.

"I asked them to make her a kimono… because I think she deserves something nice."

Tamaki nodded, Eugene followed close behind. The classes went on and on, but music was interesting. It was getting close to their semester finals. The class was nearly over and everyone was getting anxious to leave. Everyone was ready for the day to be over so they could get their things together for tomorrow.

"Within the next few days I will be assigning everyone a day in which they are going to perform a song on their choice of instrument. If you are insistent on doing it as a group please let me know starting Monday."

With that, he let everyone go, Olivia took Tamaki and Eugene arm-in-arm. It garnered a warm blush from Tamaki and a sigh from Eugene.

"What are you wanting to do?" he asked, almost not needing to.

"Let's work together!" She smiled, nearly jumping with excitement.

"That'd be amazing!" Tamaki said as he gently placed his hand on Olivia's as they basically swarmed into the cafe.

Tamaki gently pulled his arm out of hers to keep the other girls from freaking out and being rude to Olivia. He'd already caught a few girls shooting glares at Olivia who didn't care or even notice. She was chatting with Eugene, t

"What would you like to eat today?" Eugene asked and Olivia shrugged, she was busy thinking of a song they could all play together.

Eugene sighed and she took her usual seat at the table when the twins came over with Haruhi. Olivia had her notebook out and was scribbling names of songs she could remember down.

"Oskar Schuster? Who's that?" Hikaru asked as he leaned over her shoulder.

"Oh! Hey guys!" she said a little startled, she hadn't heard them walk up.

"It's a musician I really love. Our final is a performance and I want to see if Eugene, Tamaki and I can do a piece together."

Hikaru sat across from her, "What's your favorite song by this person?"

"Koma Aftur… It's a lovely song."

"What does it mean?" Haruhi asked her.

"Well, I'm not sure of the exact translation, but in Icelandic Koma means 'to come' and Aftur means 'back or return.' So to me, the song is about someone coming back."

Haruhi nodded and Olivia smiled at her. Eugene set her lunch down and she smiled even wider.

"This looks delicious!" She said as she took her fork and began eating.

Haruhi laughed a little, she was alway excited about food. There was always a gleam in her eyes when Eugene brought her something to eat that made Haruhi smile every time.

After lunch they all went their separate ways and after school she went to the club room to get Haruhi's gift. She walked in and Honey ran and jumped into her arms, a smile spreading across his face.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?"

She nodded and hugged him back, she loved how affectionate Honey was to everyone.

"I really am! I hope I will look as cute as you."

Honey smiled and laughed, "I'm sure you will!"

She walked to her table, she took out her sketching pad and begin to draw. She sketched Haruhi as she walked about, greeting everyone. She drew her movements as she could catch them. She moved to the next person that caught her eye, Kyoya. She moved through everyone and stopped once she had drawn the Twins. She looked up and they weren't in her line of sight anymore.

"You know, that's kind of creepy…" Hikaru said as she looked over at him and Kaoru quickly snatched her notebook to look.

"Kaoru!" She said as she snatched it back and Hikaru smiled slyly at her, causing her face to turn pink.

"Oooh? What is in here that you don't want us to know about?" he asked as he reached for her book again.

"N-nothing!" She said sheepishly, hiding the fact that she had drawn herself in a wedding dress and had little notes about said event.

"Guys…. leave her alone." Haruhi said and she came and took a seat in from of Olivia.

"You wanted to talk to me?" She asked and Olivia made eye contact with Hikaru who left with Kaoru to get the kimono.

"Well I know you mentioned you weren't sure if you have kimono that fit you anymore. so… I spoke with your father on the phone and he gave me some ideas as to what you'd like. I hope you don't mind."

Haruhi was at a loss of words, how had she contacted her father? She didn't think too long about it, she was royalty so she had various connections. She nodded and the twins walked back with a beautiful crimson box, topped with a white bow.

"You… You made me a kimono?" Haruhi asked, shocked and also in awe at her friends.

"Yes, your dad said you'd like something that resembled your mother's kimonos. He told me that you used to love wearing them around the house when you were a child. Honestly, it sounds like a pretty grand memory."

Olivia smiled and Haruhi opened the box, she gently pulled the kimono out and was in awe. She loved it, it reminded her of her mother. Haruhi smiled up at her, she could feel a lump in her throat. Olivia could swear she saw tears in her eyes. She gently put it back in the box and stood.

"Ready to go to my house?" She asked Olivia.

"Yes please!" She chirped and got her stuff together, "Eugene! Time to go!"

"She gets to go to your house but we can't? We've known you longer Haruhi!" Tamaki whined.

"Knock it off senpai, she's a girl. It's different."

"Eugene isn't a girl." Hikaru said as he stood next to Eugene.

"Yeah but he's her guardian, so it's okay."

"You're only saying that because you like him…" Kaoru said as he walked to the other side of Eugene.

Olivia could swear she saw steam coming from Haruhi's red face. She shook hear head ad tried to play it cool, but she wasn't doing a very good job.

"Come on guys, we need to go." Olivia said as she took Haruhi and Eugene's hands and walked out.

"See you two tomorrow!" She said as she looked back once more and winked at the twins.

Tamaki saw and stormed up to them, "What was that all about?!"

They shrugged and played it off. They told Olivia to do it, she knew they liked to pick on Tamaki. She thought it was cute when he got protective of her, or tried to make himself look the best. Usually he just sort of ended up being the butt of the Twin's joke, nonetheless he still did it. Day in and day out.

"I'll get them to pull the car around." Eugene texted the driver and they kept walking.

"So…. do you really like him that much?" she whispered to Haruhi whose face turned red once more.

"I think I do, day by day he shows himself to the world…. Little by little he is unravelling and becoming someone completely new."

Olivia felt the emotion she had just strung out to her. Eugene looked back and saw them whispering. He sighed and stayed a few paces ahead, knowing they were talking girl stuff. They got into the car and Haruhi told the driver where to go. Once they arrived Olivia squealed.

"It's soooooooo cute!" She said and she rushed upstairs and waited at the door like a homesick puppy.

"It's okay I guess." Haruhi took out her key and unlocked the door.

Inside, there was a delightful aroma. Olivia waited for Haruhi to walk in and then followed her. Haruhi's father was in the kitchen cooking something delicious, Olivia was practically drooling. They removed their shoes and followed Haruhi.

"Hey dad." Haruhi said and sighed, "This is Olivia and Eugene. I assume you know them already though."

He smiled and nodded, "I do! Olivia spoke to me on the phone! She's so much cuter than I was expecting!"

Olivia blushed and looked down at her feet, she didn't have parents say that often. Usually everyone was reserved and very judgmental of her. In Japan, she felt so free and unrestricted. She could be anything and do anything her heart wanted. Eugene looked at her ad laughed softly as he ruffled her hair.

"And Eugene, I've heard about you. You're much more of a man than I had previously though. You're the guardian correct?"

He nodded and bowed, placing his right hand over his heart, "Thank you for allowing us into your home…"

"Ranka, please." Her dad bowed his head slightly.

"So you dress up like a woman?" Olivia asked and Eugene nearly fell over.

"Olivia! You can't just ask those questions!" He said quickly to her, face red. "I am so sorry Ranka."

"Oh it's okay, I told her about it on the phone! We spoke for a good while." Ranka said, grabbing some plates from the cabinet.

"Do you need help?" Eugene asked and Ranka snapped at the opportunity to have a tall and strong man helping him.

"I work as an entertainer at Okama Bar. I began to dress like this once my beautiful wife had passed away… It was my way of telling the world that I wasn't going to fall for another woman. So I became one."

Olivia smiled and hugged Ranka, "You're amazing! That's so brave and bold."

Ranka smiled and hugged her back, "Thank you darling."

Eugene had set the table, Haruhi had begun to take everything to the living room.

"Let eat!" Ranka said which garnered a excited gasp from Olivia.

The food he had made was amazing, Ranka made a small bowl of rice for Olivia. He then topped it off with some pork belly.

"This looks sooooooo good!" Olivia chirped.

"This, my dear, is called Kakuni. I really hope you enjoy it." Ranka said as she handed her the bowl and some chopsticks.

Eugene took the utensils from Ranka and made everyone else their bowls before making his own. Ranka was smitten. Olivia took a bite and she had to stifle a delighted groan. Haruhi laughed at her and began eating. Her dad had never made this before, could he even afford the ingredients? Pork belly ran a high price at the market.

"Did you pay for this Olivia?" she asked her bluntly and Olivia nodded in delight.

"I did! It was the least I could do for allowing us to come over." She smiled warmly, rice sticking to the side of her face.

Haruhi wanted to be mad, she didn't like to think that Olivia thought she was poor or not well off. But the look on her face, she knew she wasn't being pretentious like the Hosts were. She took her napkin and reached over, gently wiping the rice from Olivia's face. Ranka stopped and watched as his daughter was being so very kind to this girl. She hadn't even known her long. Haruhi rarely spoke of her friends but when these two came along, she was a chatter box of sorts. He knew Haruhi liked Eugene too, but as far as he could tell Eugene was a great person. But he wasn't going to give his daughter up so easily!

"So tell me, how is Japan different from the UK?" Ranka asked.

"It's vastly different, but also sort of the same… It's confusing. Here, I'm not royalty—."

"You're royal?!" Ranka said and he nearly spit his food out, "Haruhi!?"

"Oh I didn't tell him…" Haruhi laughed nervously.

"I am so sorry! My house is a wreck!"

"It's quite alright." Eugene told Ranka and smiled warmly.

"Yes, I like it. It's a home, not an office. It's cozy here." Olivia said with a smile, "Exactly like I was saying. Here it feels so close knit, people go to shrines and hold festivals for the gods. Where I live, we have festivals but they are different… Mostly they celebrate my family and old traditions. I don't know… here feels more like home."

Ranka smiled, she could see why Haruhi liked these two so much.

"I see, well I hope that you feel welcomed by everyone here. You're a beautiful girl and you have a beautiful soul. You remind me so much of my little Haruhi, only a little more girly."

"Daaaaad!" Haurhi said with a pink face and Olivia laughed.

"Speaking of family! Eugene can you go to the car and get the items I requested?"

Eugene nodded and stood, he bowed and walked away. Ranka was impressed.

"So he just does everything you tell him? He's like a butler?"

Olivia nodded and laughed, "He is, he's the closest thing I have to a sibling. We grew up together… I've known him as long as I've known myself. He is my constant."

Ranka kept falling in love with these two over and over again. They were perfect and adorable. Eugene walked back inside with his arms full. Olivia stood.

"I brought flowers for Kotoko, if that's okay." Olivia said as she held a bouquet of various rose colors.

She had picked each color out to represent something she admired or wished for the Fujioka family. White for reverence and purity, pink for grace, happiness and gentleness, yellow for friendship and new beginnings and coral for friendship and sympathy for their loss. She was very proud of the bouquet and of how it looked.

"Y-yes, her shrine is this way." Ranka said, taken back.

Olivia and Eugene followed and kneeled before the small shrine. Olivia bowed her head and set the roses down. She pointed to the frame and Ranka nodded, she picked it up and ran her hand along Kotoko's face. She was a beautiful woman. Eugene kneeled as well, bowing his head in respect.

"Thank you two so much for this. I know my Kotoko would have loved meeting you both."

Haruhi smiled, it was really sweet what they did. She could tell her dad was very happy. Olivia took another box out of Eugene's hands and gave it to Ranka.

"We made this for you."

Haruhi finished putting all the food away and walked to them. Ranka was wearing a kimono that looked similar to Haruhi's, but it had it's own style.

"Haruhi look! They made me a robe as well!" He was so happy as he spin in a circle, looking at his reflection.
