"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.

Chapter 7; One Warning- Two Warnings...


07/05/09 – 08/21/09

-Normal P.O.V-

Just as Kisaki-Sensei had said he told Takeuchi-Sensei that it had been his fault for Haruhi's tardiness, of course Takeuchi-Sensei did not care for excuses and warned Haruhi if it happened again he wasn't gonna let it pass.

Haruhi walked over to her seat, Tamaki began interrogating her as soon as she took it. Asking why she had been with Kisaki-Sensei instead of Hitachiin-Sensei.

"Oh, about that… well you see… I bumped into Daic… Uhm, Kisaki-Sensei on my way to class and he offered to help me out. You know since he knows that Takeuchi-Sensei was gonna give me a hard time for being late…" Tamaki somewhat bought that story but still wondered about Hitachiin-Sensei and why wasn't he the one helping Haruhi out, after all he was in love with her, wasn't he?

Takeuchi-Sensei took row soon after and assigned the class to read Chapters nine and ten of the textbook, which Haruhi had already read. "After you finish with the chapters I want you to answer the questions at the back of the book, understood? I'll pick them up tomorrow."

The entire period was a boring one for Haruhi since she had already done everything that was being asked. She was way more ahead in every class than she would have thought, but then again, studying and doing extra work was mostly the only thing she did at home and more while she was resting from the Hospital incident.

"Hey, Haru-Chan, why aren't you doing anything?" Tamaki questioned as he saw his friend just sitting there looking at her book, arms crossed.

"There's nothing to do, I've already done what he just asked us to do… I think I've been overdoing it lately, I'm already way ahead of everyone else." Haruhi replied in a whisper as she still just stared at the book in front of her.

"Well how ahead are you?" Tamaki asked with curiosity.

"I've done up to Chapter Seventeen…"

"Wo-w… Haruhi don't you ever just have fun? Is school-work all you do at home?"

"… Maybe." Haruhi replied with an innocent smile, what else could she do? She had to try her best in order to not let anyone down, but most importantly in order to not let either Tamaki or Hikaru down.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped, it looks like you're giving it your all, am I right? I know this month will be hard for you, but Haru-Chan, don't forget that your friends are right here for you." Tamaki knew that Haruhi was right, she was overdoing it, but he also knew that he couldn't say anything to make her stop, since she was doing her best for everyone.

"I know and I'm grateful for that, but sometimes a girl just has to do things on her own in order to prove herself to everyone. If I were to just ask your help for everything, then what's the whole point in learning it on your own and making mistakes while doing so? I don't want people to think that I made it all the way to the top because I got help from you guys and that you guys made it all easy for me… I know that the more I ask for your help, the more everyone is gonna think that I'm a fake, and I don't want that." Tamaki gave her a smile, reassuring her that no matter how much help she gets from them, no one will ever think that she was a fake.

"Seriously Haruhi, just because you ask for a little help doesn't mean that you'll loose everything you've done on your own, but it doesn't matter, let's just leave it at that for now. Take notes, write a letter, do something that includes a pen and paper, if Takeuchi-Sensei sees you doing nothing he'll get on your back." Haruhi smiled back at him, ending their conversation.

Haruhi did as told and started to write a letter, but who was it meant to… 'Hey, I don't know why I'm writing you this but… well… you were the first person to pop into my mind when I looked at this piece of paper in front of me… Truly, I guess I just wanted to thank you somehow for always being there for me. When you and I were little you thought me one important thing and that was to become strong. (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Ok, so we can eliminate Tamaki.) As you can see, I'm not really good at showing my feelings… but I guess you already knew that, uh? You had always been by my side, catching me when I fall, wiping my tears when I cried, making me smile when I was sad. I know it must have been tough for you when I lost my memory… but now I'm back and even though it's been nearly ten years since I disappeared from your life, you still welcomed me with open arms and acted as if nothing had changed between us. I know that we cannot go back and fix everything wrong that happened to us all… but I do wish that we can create new memories together, with everyone; memories that will not fade from my mind this time. Geez, you're probably surprised of everything I'm writing, since I wouldn't usually write such things… but this is how I feel. You're a really important person to me and I'm glad I was able to come back and be able to once more be by your side; to be by everyone's side. (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Have you figured out who she's referring to?) Before I end this letter, I want to ask you a favor… Would it be possible to… go back to the place where we first met? I've been thinking about it, and it might hurt to go back to that place, but… if it's with you, I know that I'll be able to handle the pain, because you're a really important person to me. Do you think you can take me? Uhm… well, think about it, ok?' (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: I'll give you guys the names of the people she may be referring about… or … Awh, damn, I should have written this at the end so that I could have had you guys comment on who you thought it could be. Oh well… there's nothing I can do about it now… unless I don't tell you about it until the next chapter… Muahahaha. TeeHee) She folded the paper in half and then in fourths placing it inside her spiral, intending to hand it over to Him when the time was right.

"Class, how are you all doing, have you finished reading the chapters? Ok, since the period is almost over you can stop now and those of you who couldn't finish the questions don't worry, I repeat you'll be handing them in tomorrow." Takeuchi-Sensei began to put his stuff away into his portfolio, there were still five-minutes left before the end of the period, but something caught Haruhi's eye when she saw Takeuchi-Sensei's complexion.

'Is he feeling okay?' She thought as she saw how his hands were shaking while placing his book and papers into the portfolio.

"I'll be leaving early today. Please behave yourselves while no teacher is in here." The students all agreed to his demands but Haruhi was still wondering if he was ok or not. Takeuchi-Sensei left the room, not only were his hands shaking while opening the door but also his legs while walking out.

"Tamaki I'll be right back, okay?"

"Yeah, sure but where are you going?"

"Uhm… I'm going to… the lady's room."

"Oh, I guess I didn't really have to know that, uh?" Haruhi walked out the room but unfortunately as soon as she did she bumped onto someone… someone BIG, she fell to the floor, butt first.

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

"Kya… ouch… I'm sorry it was my fault."

"Nh… Don't worry about it; I too am at fault…" He gave her his hand to help her get up; she took it without a second thought. "Are you alright?" He questioned as soon as she was back on her feet.

"Yeah, I'm fine… thanks." She wiped her skirt off, fixing it up a bit; looking up at the tall guy in front of her she was surprised. "Uhm… ah, I apologize once more, it was my fault for walking out the room in such a hurry."

"You speak Japanese?" He questioned as if it was not possible

"Yeah… a bit… Oh by the way I'm Haruhi Fujioka, and you are?"

"I'm Takashi Morinozuka…"

"It was a pleasure to meet you, but I need to go check up on something… I apologize again, hope we can meet again. Bye"

"Nh…" Haruhi walked fast to where she had seen Takeuchi-Sensei gone through. 'Haruhi Fujioka… uh?'

'Wait… Now that I think about it, isn't he one of the Tops?!' Haruhi turned around but as soon as she did she saw no one there, he was already gone. Haruhi shook it off as she continued to look for Takeuchi-Sensei. 'Argh, where did he go? I was sure I saw him walking this way…' She turned at the corner and saw Takeuchi-Sensei sitting on the floor, leaning on the wall with his hand on his forehead. He was in an extreme pain and his face showed it completely. "Takeuchi-Sensei, are you okay? Can you stand up? Here, lean on me, we gotta go to the Infirmary." Haruhi helped him get up and leaned on her. While she helped him to the infirmary she noticed that he was burning up and was sweating. "Where's the nurse?" Haruhi questioned herself out loud as they walked into the room, helping Takeuchi-Sensei lay on one of the beds. Haruhi knew that she couldn't wait for the nurse to return so she decided to treat Takeuchi-Sensei herself. Looking into the cabinets to see if she could find something to cool down his high fever… she found cooling paths in the freezer and grabbed one, placing it on his forehead. "Sensei, this is all I'm able to do since it's not possible for me to give you any medications… guess we really have to wait till the nurse gets back."

"Why… why are you helping me? This…" He could barely talk, his breathing had gotten heavier and his fever wasn't cooling down. "This will not make me… like you… you're still a pain… to me…"

"I… I still don't understand what made you hate me so much, but even so, I don't hate you. No matter what you say, no matter how you treat me, I will never be able to hate you. That is why, when I saw that you were in pain when you left the classroom, I had to go after you and see that you were ok. I'm not expecting anything in return; I just want you to feel better…" Haruhi sat besides him, wiping the sweat off his face with a wet cloth she had gotten from the cabinets.

"You're so annoying... and… I'm impressed of the… progress you have made…" His compliment caught Haruhi by surprise. She couldn't believe that he had just said that he was impressed by her.

"Uhm… Thank you…"

"Don't get… too carried away… you're still a… pain to me…"

"I understand…" Soon after, the nurse walked in and was able treat Takeuchi-Sensei… she said that he only had gotten a cold and with rest he would be better by tomorrow. "Takeuchi-Sensei, I'll be going back to class now, I hope you feel better." Haruhi began to walk towards the door but was surprisingly stopped by Takeuchi-Sensei.

"Fujioka-San… I'll only say this once…" He paused as Haruhi just stood in front of the door. "Th… Thank You!"

"You're welcome, Sensei. Uhm, I won't mention this to anyone… Bye."

"That girl is a real sweet-heart, do you not agree, Minami-Sensei?" The nurse questioned as soon as Haruhi had left the room.

"Yes, but she still has a lot to learn if she wants to be at the top. She has a bright future, but a painful one as well, that's why… I'm helping her become a tougher woman, so that she'll be able to handle the hardships that await her." He sat up on the bed, flinching a bit from the headache he had.

"You truly care about Fujioka-San, don't you? You're worried about her too… ever since you heard about her from the Hitachiin Family, the owners of this school and many others; you began to care about her future. That is why no matter what happens you have to keep on treating her coldly until she's able to stand up for herself." The nurse smile as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"That's right, it is my job to toughen her up… and the perfect way to doing so was to make her become one of the Top Students. It's the only way she'll be able to stand up for herself, since not everyone in the school wants a transfer student to mess up the balance that has been created by the Current Top Students." Even though it was a painful job that was given to him by the Hitachiin Family, he had to stand hurting that fragile girl, in the end; it was all done in order to protect her.

"It's not only the balance… It's also the fans…"

"Yes, the fan-girls will not want any one of the guys to be drop from the Top… Meaning that Fujioka-San will most definitely be hated by all the girls in this school and she'll have to go through all that harassment that she'll be inflicted on… She'll have to go through it all by herself, uh?" Takeuchi-Sensei felt more pain, but it wasn't caused by the headache, no, this time it was caused by the thought of Haruhi being put through all that and it was all thanks to him. In his heart he didn't want that to happen to that poor innocent girl, but in his head was the image of the ones who ordered him to doing so, saying that it was for her own good. 'Tch, how can treating her with such hatred be for her own good?!'

"Poor Fujioka-San, if only she didn't have such a painful future…" The nurse said as she walked over to her desk. (A/n; NuNnaLiE18: Wow, who would have thought that Takeuchi-Sensei knew about the Hitachiin Family owning the School, and that he also knows about who Haruhi truly is? So are you guys wondering about the painful future that awaits Haruhi? Yeah well I'm wondering about it, too! TeeHee… Let's us ALL wait and see what I come up with.)

-Haruhi's P.O.V-

I was walking as fast as possible back to the class as I knew I was extremely late when I was stopped by two girls that I so didn't want to talk to at the moment.

"My, my, my… Look who we have here, if it isn't little Ms. Haruhi Fujioka. So it seems we meet again, uh?"

"So it seems… but once again this is not a good time since I'm already late for class." I tried walking pass them, but was abruptly stopped by Ayanokouji-San.

"You're not going anywhere, Missy. We came to finish what we started last time… after all we were sent by one of the Gods. Renge help me take her outside." They each held me, in order for me to not run away.

"Wait, where are you girls taking me?"

"You'll see once we get there, so you better shut that pipe of yours!" I couldn't cause a commotion since I didn't want them to get in trouble no matter what they were planning to do to me I couldn't make them get in trouble. I wasn't worried much about Ayanokouji-San since it seemed this wasn't the first time she had done something like this, no, I was in truth worried about Renge-Chan since I had noticed that she wasn't used to hurting people.

"Ayanokouji-San, you sure we wont get in trouble? What if we get caught? This is a bad idea after all, we should stop." Yep, her pleading of stopping was the only evidence I needed to make my point right. In the end, they took me to the school's sport's shack, throwing me to the ground a soon as the doors had been closed behind them.

"So, what do you plan on doing to me?" I questioned as I tried to get up… I felt a sharp pain on my angle. 'Tch, I must have twisted it when they threw me to the floor.' I stood up, trying to make it the least visible that I had been injured right from the start.

"Hahaha, aren't we hasty, uh?" Ayanokouji-San said as she grabbed a large lock of my hair, pulling me towards her. "Missy, how does it feel to have no one here to help you out, uh, how does it feel to be alone without your 'Friends' by your side?" She threw me back to the floor; I flinched at the pain I felt from my ankle. I stood up once more, trying my hardest to hide the pain I felt, placing most of my weight on my right leg.

"Why… why are you so jealous?" My questioned caught her off-guard as she had a stunned expression on her face.

Once she came back to, she started to dramatically laugh. "ME jealous of YOU? You have got to be shitting me! How can anyone be jealous of such a Brat like you who thinks she's better than the rest of us?!"

"I never said I was better than anyone…"

"SHUT UP! Nobody asked for your opinion, you act like you're better than us all! You keep on showing off the fact that even if you're not one of the Top that you're still able to be by their side… You think that you're so perfect and special just because they had pity over you! Well guess again, Missy, they don't give a damn about you!" Ayanokouji-San was going berserk and I saw that it was scaring Renge… maybe she knew what Ayanokouji-San was capable of doing at such a state of mind.

"Ayanokouji-San, please stop it already, you'll get suspended if you continue this." Renge tried calming her down, to no avail as Ayanokouji-San just pushed her away.

"SHUT IT Renge! Remember you have to do as I say, for your precious Ootori-Sensei." So it WAS as Nunnalie had said, she was engaged to Ootori-Sensei?

"Ayanokouji-San…"

"Renge, hold her down!" Renge did as told; my most definite guess was that she was being blackmailed by Ayanokouji-San.

"I'm sorry…" She whispered to me, I could see tears forming in her eyes.

"Its okay… there's a reason why you're doing this… I just hope it has a positive outcome for you." I whispered back as I made no attempt to restrain from her hold.

"Now Missy, this is my second warning, if you don't quit trying to become one of the Tops I wont go so easy on you the third time that we meet." She had a pair of scissors in her hand as she slowly walked towards me. "Are you ready, Missy?" I didn't reply as I just kept my eyes on her. She started to cut my hair, strand after strand. She finished and threw the scissors to the side, ordering Renge to release me. "For your own good, you have had better learned your lesson today. We will take our leave now… Sayonara, Missy." They left the sports shack and I saw Renge taking one last look at me before closing the door behind her.

I tried to stand up but I couldn't this time, it was too painful. "What should I do?" How stupid was I, I had my cell phone with me. I took it out of my pocket, but I had done another stupidity, I had forgotten to charge it last night. It wouldn't turn on at all. "Someone… help me." I looked down at the strands of hair that had been cut, why was this happening to me? Why wasn't it possible for me to become one of the Tops? Why was I being hated by everyone, they didn't know me, didn't even take the chance to getting to know me. I started to laugh at myself as I realized what I was doing. "I'm letting Ayanokouji-San get to me, uh? I'm letting her get what she wants by feeling sorry for myself, idiot, I'm not gonna just throw away everything that I've worked for just because of this childish threats. So what if my hair was cut, it will grow again. So what if no one in the school likes me, I still have great friends that support me. To me right now, that is all that should matter."

I heard a couple of claps. "Bravo, what an amazing speech."

"Who… who are you?"
