I'm keeping this part below. XD

So I went back an re-read what I have so far for this story and in my opinion I think that Chapter Four is the best one so far. What do you guys think, which Chapter is the one you think is the best I've written so far?? Alright as you read on the last chapter two new characters made their way into the story, Renge and Ayanokouji-San, which I was really NOT intending on making them appear. I never thought about adding those two in my story until the actual minute I was writing that part of Chapter Five. Even I was amazed at how I integrated them into the chapter and into the story, really! TeeHee

"So what was that whole thing with some girls stopping you in the… you were gonna say hallway, right? So come on what happened, what did they tell you?"
"Nothing, nothing they just wanted my autograph don't worry." I shook my hand to his direction, indicating him to just shake it off.
"Haru-Chan come on, don't lie to me. If you can't tell me if something is bothering you, then why am I here for? I'm your friend, aren't I?" He got me there, with the whole 'friends' thing.
"I'll tell you and the gang during our five-minute break, okay? They all need to hear this, too." I put my head on the desk, covering my face with my arms as the insides of my head became scrambled once more, this time adding new ingredients into it.

Chapter 6; Threats and Treats


06/28/09 – 08/21/09

-Normal P.O.V-

Class was over and Haruhi had exactly five-minutes to tell the gang about the two girls that had threaten her on her way back to class.

"Wait, Tama-Kun wasn't that Ayanokouji girl the one that confessed to you sophomore year but you turned her down right away because she wasn't one of the tops?" Kiara said with a questionable expression on her face, wondering herself if she was thinking of the right girl.

"Yeah, Tama-Kun and then she swore that she was gonna become one of the Tops just to be able to be with you." Nunna-Chan added as she too remembered about that incident.

"That actually happened? I don't really remember about it." Tamaki said calmly as he didn't even try to remember of such a thing happening in the past.

"Well she never made it into the Tops; she wasn't even able to come close to it." Takumi added expressionless.

"So, I can come to a conclusion that her threatening towards me was caused by; her not being able to become a Top Student and by the fact that Tamaki turned her down for not being one?" Haruhi questioned the others and herself as she looked over at Tamaki, who had a 'So this is half- my fault' look on his face.

"In other words, Ayanokouji is jealous of you; saying that we weren't your friends and to stop trying to become one of us." Kiara-Chan stated, and we all agreed, what other logical reason was there for her to act so, bitchy.

"What about that other girl, Renge-Chan?" Takumi questioned still expressionless.

"Isn't she engaged to Ootori-Sensei? I heard that their parents made the decision for them and that Ootori-Sensei wasn't too happy about it." Nunna-Chan replied.

"That must truly suck, having your parents decide whom to marry without your consent." Chun-Kun added as he looked over at Kiara-Chan, possibly thinking that he was glad he had her as his girlfriend.

"Uph, tell me about it, it's the worst…" Haruhi looked over at everyone; they were staring at her in confusion. "I mean, I can just imagine having your parent's pick whom you'll spend the rest of your life with. Uhm, people don't do that sort of things in America so, I can just imagine it being the worst…?" Tamaki looked at her, still wondering if she was just putting herself in Renge-Chan's position or if she WAS IN the same position.

"What do you intend to do about Ayanokouji, Haru-Chan?" Chun-Kun questioned as he and the others shook it off, becoming worried about their friend's safety.

"I'll just put it at the bottom of my list, that threat is the least of my worries right now. My number one is achieving my goal on being on the Top List." She thought about what it meant to be a Top Student and how there were only Seven Spots meaning that someone was gonna be thrown out as Ayanokouji-San had said. "Guys if…" She started saying but could not finish her sentence as the Algebra teacher, Kisaki-Sensei walked into the room.

"Alright class please take your seats, class is about to start." He went over the class roster, soon after he wrote our assignment on the board and took his seat.

"You know what; I think Kisaki-Sensei is my favorite teacher of them all. He gives us our assignment and that's it, he doesn't even lecture." I whispered over at Tamaki as he quietly laughed at my comment.

"Yep, that's Kisaki-Sensei for you. He likes to keep everything simple and lecturing over math will only make it boring. He once told us that Mathematics was like a Mysterious Puzzle that needed to be solved by our own minds. If he were to lecture about it every single day, then the whole mystery would just disappear and be turned into something boring and unpleasant. He's a pretty cool teacher, he understands us students." Haruhi smiled at Tamaki as she thought about what he had just said.

'A Mysterious Puzzle, uh? I never thought about it that way, that's a pretty interesting form of putting things. That feels like a good way of explaining my situation at the moment… One girl, plus three guys; Hikaru, Tamaki and Kaoru… One guy being subtracted from the very start, Kaoru, as I know for a fact he will have a better future with Nunna-Chan… Multiplied by the different feelings and emotions being scrambled inside my head… Divided by the separation of Hikaru's love towards me and mine towards him… Equals to a very confused Girl; Me.' (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Okay, as I re-read that part, it truly made no sense, but I guess that's the whole point of being a Mysterious Puzzle. Although it actually sounded cool! TeeHee) She felt beyond confused, since the whole point of ending things with Hikaru was so that she wouldn't be distracted with him, but it ended back-firing on her. Thinking about Hikaru was all she could do, but she couldn't give up now. No, she had to wait until the end of the month when her feelings about Him and Tamaki were truly resolved inside her head. 'Alright Haruhi, concentrate you need to do your work.' She put everything that wasn't math aside, and did her assignment. She knew this time, that Tamaki had finished WAY before her since she was so caught up in thinking about other things then into doing her work. 'Remember Haruhi, your number one priority right now is to reach your goal and thinking about your love-life will not help at all.' She mentally pulled herself together as she did all the math problems that had been assigned by Kisaki-Sensei, showing all her work trying her best not to make any mistakes.

-Haruhi's P.O.V-

I managed to finish my work in no longer than 20 minutes. I looked over at Tamaki who had indeed finished way before me and was now taking a nap, his face turned towards me. I grabbed my mechanical pencil and with the eraser I started to gently poke his cheek. He brushed off his cheek with his right hand as I rapidly removed my pencil out of the way. He covered his face with the same hand and this time, with the tip of my pencil I started to gently write on his hand. Then again, I wouldn't call it much of a writing as I was doing it with a pencil, it only left light marks on his hand. He removed his hand from his face and his eyes were semi-opened by now, he looked straight at me and I gave him an innocent smile.

"You're not gonna let me go to sleep are you?"

"Nope…" I kept my innocent smile on my face. He sat up, stretching his arms in front of him.

"Hey, so what took you so long to finish?" Tamaki questioned now that he was fully awake.

"I just… have a lot in my mind. Everything is just accumulating inside my head and likes to explode when least expected. Right now was one of those unexpected times." I leaned my chin on my hands as my elbows rested on the desk.

"Do you wanna talk about what's bothering you?" He questioned with concern on the tone of his voice, Tamaki was always worrying about me. I placed my left hand down, crossing it over my desk. My right stayed as it was, as I leaned my cheek on it, turning my gaze over to Tamaki.

"You're always worrying about me, you know that. Thanks for trying to help me out but, what is troubling me right now cannot be solved just by talking about it… Besides, it is also something that I don't think I should be talking about. There is a way you can help me out, though."

"Fine, I won't ask about your personal problems but whatever it is that I can do to help, I'll be glad on doing it."

"Please continue being my friend. That's all I ask for."

"Always." He said as he gave me a smile that said it all, he would always be there for me when I needed someone by my side.

"Thank you… Now, shouldn't we be turning in our work? We don't wanna let anyone else turn in theirs before us, now do we?" He gave me a 'that's right' and we both walked over to Kisaki-Sensei, handing in our assignment.

"Fujioka-Chan, may I have a word with you?" Kisaki-Sensei said as I handed him my work, it made me wonder if I was in trouble or something.

"Of course, Kisaki-Sensei…"

"Oh I see your Japanese has improved." We walked out the room and stood in the hallway.

"Yes, a bit, I've been studying a lot these past days… I bet you've heard about the incident with Takeuchi-Sensei and Tamaki-Kun."

"Yes I heard about it, the whole school knows. When it comes to the Top Seven, news tends to travel fast." He gave me a worried smile then continued. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I've read your personal profile and seen that you have a lot of potential and the fact that your Japanese has improved is something to be proud of. I have no worries that you will make the Top List…" He paused patting my head a couple of times, weirdly he reminded me of my dad, with that concern look on his eyes. But also he reminded me of someone else; I couldn't remember who just that he was close to me. "But what I am worried about is all the trouble that it will bring to you."

"Sensei…?" I was confused on what he was trying to imply, I didn't quite understand where he was going with this.

"Fujioka-Chan, I saw how those girls threaten you earlier today. I can assure you that they're not the only ones that feel that way about you. The Current Top Seven students have not change since they all entered High School, yes a lot of people have tried to throw them off their place, but it was never possible. That is, until you came along. Those people who tried their best in becoming one of the Top and failed are jealous of you and will try everything to make you wanna drop off… the rest of the school just doesn't want the Current Seven to change because they feel it will throw everything off balance. Fujioka-Chan, I am not saying that what you're doing, trying to become one of the seven is a bad thing, no on the contrary, I'm on your side, I'm here to help. But what I am trying to say is that you need to be extremely careful because you will be the Number One Target in everyone's eyes." I couldn't help but smile, he really DID reminded me So Much of someone I knew so well, argh but was he? Why couldn't I remember his face or name?

"Kisaki-Sensei, thank you so much for believing in me… but mostly for trying to protect me. You really are the best, Sensei." I couldn't help but give him a hug right there and then.

"Fujioka-Chan, before we go in, may I ask you something somewhat personal?"

"Yeah… Sure…" I was extremely curious of what he wanted to ask me, his expression showed different moods, curious, confused and serious.

"How's… how's Ryoji-San?"

"You're asking about my dad? He's okay, I guess… Do you… know him?" Okay now that was really weird having my teacher ask about my dad, while using his first name!

"In fact I do… we were really good friends back when I was in college."

"Back in college? Wait don't tell me you and my dad were in the same class? That can't be you look so young!" It was kinda awkward talking about my dad to my teacher and it was more awkward to know that they were College Buddies. (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Oh but that was just the beginning of the Awkwardness between those two friends. Oh its nothing GAY, you'll guys will know about Mr. Fujioka's and Kisaki-Sensei's relationship later on.)

"Oh no, he wasn't in college with me. I met him by someone else… You could say we were somewhat like family. We should talk more about this during lunch, you have tutoring with Hikaru-Kun, am I right?" Somehow I was glad that Kisaki-Sensei wasn't as old as my father, he was way too good looking to be that old. Something grabbed my attention as I thought more about it…Didn't the teachers called each other by their first name and just added the –Sensei at the end, so why was Kisaki-Sensei adding –Kun after Hikaru's name? Now what was THEIR relationship?

"Uhm, yeah… Hitachiin-Sensei told me to eat fast since lunch break only lasted 45 minutes in order to have a study session with him."

"Ah, that kid is always rushing things. Don't worry, I'll be Intruding during that 'Study Session' since I need to have a word with the both of you." Okay now THAT really, really got me curious. Seriously what was his Relationship with My Father and with Hikaru? There was so much that I didn't understand, and there was so little time for an explanation. "Alright, we should go back inside since the class will be over soon and I still need to grade your assignments." I did not reply, I just followed him inside and went directly to take my seat.

=^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^=

"What was all that about? What did he need to say to you?" Tamaki whispered over to me, wondering what had happened.

"He saw what had happened at the hallway with Ayanokouji-San and Renge-Chan; he was just worried about me, since everyone in the school knows about what I'm trying to do." Hey I wasn't lying to Tamaki; I was just telling him half of what had been talked about.

"Yep, that sounds just like Sensei, he cares a lot about his students. I guess he saw that you're a really nice girl and he's just worried about what other people might try to do to you. We're all worried about you."

"Yes, that's exactly what he said." I was getting a head-ache just by thinking about what Kisaki-Sensei wanted to talk to both Hikaru and me, about. 'Did he find out about the relationship we had?' Argh, my head was really hurting by now; everything was swirling around inside it. I wished there could be like a magic stick I could just attach to my head and like a toilet, flush everything down the drain.

"…-Chan, Oi, Haru-Chan."

"Uhm… what? I'm truly sorry, were you saying something?"

"Yeah, I was asking you if you brought your lunch today. But you suddenly just zoned me out, is everything okay?"

"Again, I'm really sorry. Uhm, yes I did, argh but I need to eat it fast since I have a Tutoring Session with Hitachiin-Sensei. I blew it off last time, remember?" I actually didn't quite blow it off; I mean I did go back to his office but… Aah who cares about that!

"Oh, that sucks and here I thought we could do something fun like play soccer now that the group was finally even; you know three guys and three girls." I could tell by the expression on his face, that today's morning practice had gotten to him and he wanted to try it out.

"Aah that sounds like fun, but I can't today, sorry."

"Nah, its okay, we can do it some other time." We continued talking and quietly laughing since class was still not over.

"Alright everyone, class is over. Have a great lunch break and don't forget about tomorrow's Homework." He smiled at me before leaving the room, probably meaning that he'll see me soon. I smiled back and grabbed my Bento, walking outside with the gang.

I ate my lunch as fast as possible, Chun and Takumi looking at me with amazement at how such a small girl could eat so fast. "You better slow down or you're gonna end up choking." Taku-Kun said as he saw me gulping down my green-tea.

"Sorry, it's just that I wanna do as much work as possible so that I can at least get tomorrow off…" I munched down on some more food before continuing. "Tamaki wanted to play soccer today, girls vs. boys and it sounded so cool, but I can't do it because of my tutoring so I wanna do it tomorrow." I finally finished my food and waved everyone good bye as I went over to the classroom leaving my Bento behind and grabbing my workbooks.

=^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^= ~ =^_^=

'Now I will finally know what sorta relationship Kisaki-Sensei has with Hikaru and hopefully with my Father.' I thought while walking to Hikaru's office. I knocked a couple of times before entering. "Hitachiin-Sensei, sorry to intrude, I'm here for our Tutoring Session."

"Yes, yes come in, come in have a seat. I have already prepared your assignments." I sat in front of him, as he handed me a small stack of papers.

"Thank you…" I had the notebook that Tamaki had given me with me and I had also brought my Japanese Lit book and my English Lit book. Just as before I asked no help from Hikaru and finished two of my assignments in less than 15 mins. When I was about to start on my third assignment a sudden knock was heard from the door and I knew exactly whom it was.

"Hikaru-Kun… Oi…" Yes I had been right, it WAS Kisaki-Sensei. He walked into the room, acting as if he knew not that I too was going to be there. Oh… Fujioka-Chan is here, too? Am I interrupting anything?"

"As a matter of fact…" Hikaru started, but I decided to finish his sentence.

"Not at all, please come in, do you have something important to speak to with Hitachiin-Sensei? Please don't mind me." My replied shocked Hikaru as he did not know that I was able to speak Japanese.

"Thank you Fujioka-Chan, I will do as told." He sat on the chair besides me but not before locking the door behind him.

"What are you doing here? What do you want from me?" Hikaru questioned in a not so happy tone of voice.

"Now, now Hikaru-Kun is that anyway to talk to your elders?"

"Daichi-San I am in no mood for your games today, please do us both a favor and get to the point." Why was Hikaru so irritated and frustrated towards Kisaki-Sensei being here? I continued doing my work throughout the whole conversation… waiting for my turn to speak, since I knew for a fact I was gonna get a chance to.

"Alright, alright I'll get to the point, but first; Fujioka-Chan, did you know that Hikaru-Kun's family owns this whole school and that His Father is the Principal of it? Did you also know why they don't have the same last name? The reason is because Hikaru has his Mother's last name. It was done that way in order for Hikaru to become a teacher here, only a few of the staff members know about that fact, of course me being one of them. Did you know that about him?" I could see Hikaru's expression turned from irritated and frustrated to mad and furious.

"What's the meaning of this, Daichi-San? Why are you telling HER that?"

"I… I didn't…" I turned to look at the Furious Hikaru as I came to realize that I knew absolutely nothing about him. When was his birthday, what were the names of his parents, what's his favorite color or his favorite TV show? Did he have a best friend, if so whom? Why… why did he live in such a large house by himself, where were his parents? "There's no reason for me to know such a thing so… So how should I have known that?" I replied as I looked back to Kisaki-Sensei.

"Is that so? Hikaru-Kun, do you agree with her answer, was there really no reason for her to have known such a thing?" Where was Kisaki-Sensei trying to get to, why was he being so interrogative?

"Yeah… I… I agree." He looked down at his desk as Kisaki-Sensei's expression showed disappointment.

'What in the world is going on here? Instead of my answers being resolved, new questions are actually being added.' I thought as I looked at both my Senseis'. "Excuse me; I think I should go…" I was about to stand with my books at hand, but Kisaki-Sensei, gently pulled me down, sitting me back down.

"I'm sorry Fujioka-Chan for causing you so much confusion, but that's what I'm trying to solve here." His tone of voice sounded so, fatherly, gentle and kind. But it soon changed as he started to speak to Hikaru. "Hikaru-Kun, why haven't you told her about yourself? Why do you keep her in such darkness? Yes, she has regained her memory, but all she remembers is the PAST and not much of it, this is now the PRESENT and you know damn well that things have changed! Just because you're still trying to live in the past doesn't mean that you have to keep others from moving forward!" He waited, no, we both waited for Hikaru's reply and at the same time I wondered why Kisaki-Sensei knew about my lost of memory.

'Why does he know so much about both Hikaru and me? Who is he?' I thought as Hikaru said nothing.

"Alright, you're not gonna speak up? Fine, then I WILL, you know why? Because I won't let MY adorable niece be in the Darkness that YOU have created for her!"

"Wait, whose Niece am I?" I asked in pure confusion, how was it possible for me to have an uncle? Okay that was a stupid question, I mean yeah I probably do have uncles and maybe even aunts, but I have never heard of any.

"Oh, did I actually say that out loud? Well that means that the cat is finally trying to get out of the bag." Kisaki-Sensei laughed at himself, as Hikaru slammed his head on the desk.

"You're a Stupid Old Man…" Hikaru said as he continued slamming his head against the desk.

"Sensei, so how am I exactly your niece?"

"Daichi-San stop already!" Hikaru slammed his fist on the desk, as he stared at Kisaki-Sensei with a furious expression.

"I'm sorry Hikaru-Kun, but I will not keep her in Darkness. Haruhi-Kun, I'm your mama's younger brother… it might be hard for you to remember me but I would babysit you, Hikaru-Kun and the other ungrateful boys every so often." (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Kisaki-Sensei is not really old, he's only 29, and he's eight years older than Hikaru. So in other words, when he would supposedly babysit them, he was actually there to play, mostly with his little niece.)

When he added the –Kun after my name, that's when I truly remembered who he was. He WAS my Mom's Younger Brother and also MY Uncle… I started to laugh as I remembered how He, Hikaru, Kaoru and Aisawa would fight over who'll get to spend the most time with me. A couple of tears leaving my face caused Hikaru to worry.

"Haruhi, what's wrong? Why are you crying? See what you've caused, you Stupid Old Man!"

"Hikaru, shut up, they're happy tears…" I continued laughing as the tears continued to flow. "Don't think that I've forgotten Daichi-Nii that it was thanks to you that Mom made me wear those extremely frilly dresses." That's why his fatherly gestures from earlier seemed so familiar…whenever neither my Mom nor my Dad where around, he would be the one to take care of me.

"Its good to have you back, Haruhi-Kun." He patted my head as he did when I was little. I looked over at Hikaru once my tears had stopped and he had no expression on his face. "See Hikaru-Kun, you cannot just leave her in Darkness and expect her to be okay with it. She needs to move forward and you're the only one that can help her do so."

Hikaru stood from his chair, giving us both his back and in a serious tone of voice he said. "Throughout this month that is not up to me… I am only her teacher, not her friend. It is a decision she made herself and I intend on going on with it until this month is over. For now I know nothing about her past, her present is slowly being created by her friends and the future is still unknown to all of us around her." I saw how now the confused one was Daichi-Nii, and this time it had been My Doing.

"Daichi-Nii, I might be guessing you know about the whole engagement thing, right?"

"Yes, it was decided by…" Daichi-Nii was rapidly interrupted by Hikaru, which I gave no cared about why.

"Daichi-San seriously stop opening your big mouth! Yes Haruhi he knows about the engagement." He had yelled at Daichi-Nii but as soon as he talked over to me, his voice became low and somewhat calmed, yet he wouldn't turn to look at neither of us.

"Okay, well… Daichi-Nii as you've noticed, there are a lot of things that are happening throughout this month and it's truly hard for me to handle them all. My feelings towards Hikaru, my school work, Takeuchi-Sensei's incident with Tama-Kun and the threat that I received from those girls; everything is just swirling around in my head and… And I may not show it but, but I'm truly afraid that in the end I will end up failing… loosing all that is important to me. Since I'm confused about a lot of things I asked Hikaru to, to wait for me at least until the end of the month, once everything was settled down in my head… Once that happened I will go back to him, and if possible be able to start from scratch." Hikaru slowly turned to look at me; an expression of worried and confused was being showed on his face.

"Why is it that you never come to me when you're in trouble? Why do you always keep this sort of feelings hidden? Are you not able to trust me and tell me what is bothering you, what you're afraid of? Why… why can't you come to me for help?"

"Hikaru…?" I saw the hurt expression on his face… truth was he wasn't the only one keeping secrets from me, I was doing the same thing as I kept secrets from him.

"Haruhi-Kun, Hikaru-Kun you two may continue your conversation some other time. Haruhi-Kun is already five-minutes late for class and if I'm not mistaken her teacher right now is Minami-Sensei." Daichi-Nii said as he broke off the moment Hikaru and me were having, which I was thankful to him for doing so.

"Eek, I'm dead…" I said to myself as I thought on having Takeuchi-Sensei next.

"Its alright, I'll take you to class, I'll say it was my fault for your tardiness. Get your stuff."

"Thank you, Daichi-Nii… I truly don't like that teacher." We walked out the room leaving Hikaru without even a 'good-bye' or a 'see you later'.

"Don't worry about Hikaru-Kun, he'll be okay… He just, needs some time alone." I nodded in response as we walked back to class.
