A/N: Sorry for the late upload. I needed to think about what to write next.
(MoriPOV)
"Takashi sweetheart, why didn't you tell us about this sooner?" His mother speaks with a very soft and sweet tone. He sighs, "Mother… I'm sor…" His father cuts him off with a slap to the face. "You have betrayed your clan Takashi!" Mori blinks and stumbles back slightly from the sudden blow. "Father I…" He slaps him again, "Do not speak Takashi; you are hereby on an indefinite vow of silence until I say so! Is that understood?" Mori takes a deep breath and nods. How am I to ever tell Haruhi how sorry I am? He looks at the ground and sighs. My father never appreciated me. I… I need to stand up for myself.
"Very good, now go to your room and do not come out until dinner is ready." Mr. Morinozuka dismisses Mori and walks away. He sighs and goes and locks himself in his room. Why are you so weak Takashi? He pounds his fist slightly against the wall. You can barely stand up to your father. He hits the wall with both hands. You can barely stand up to your younger brother. Mori hits the wall harder. Most of all… He takes a deep breath and clenches his fist. Most of all you can't even stand up for the women you love! You're weak Takashi! He punches the wall, causing his knuckles to bleed. You are weak and… he falls to his knees, and this is why you don't deserve her.
(HaruhiPOV)
I want to wake up. Why can't I? Haruhi sighs as she feels a warm tear roll down her cheek. Mori-senpai, why won't you come? You hurt and left me alone. Please… Just please come back. I… I forgive you. Her breath evens out and her headache is all but gone. "Doctor Miagi! The patient is waking up!" She hears the door open and a pair of footsteps hurry in. "She is? Hurry up and get the counselor or else we may never be able to report whoever did this to the police." She slowly opens her eyes, "It's too bright in here." Haruhi squint and sits up slowly just as an older man walks in with a clip board.
"I am Mr. Mizune. Would you please tell me what caused these injuries you have?" Haruhi looks down at the blanket; I can't tell him Mori-senpai did it. She looks back up at the man, "A man attacked me last weekend and he found me again after school. I guess he thought I had more than I could offer and he got angry and attacked me." She breathes shakily but steadies her breath. "I see, and could you describe the attacker for me?" Haruhi shakes her head, "I couldn't see his face, he wouldn't let me turn around." At least that wasn't a lie. I just have to protect Mori or else he'll end up in jail. "What did his voice sound like?"
"It… It sounded like he was very well educated and that it was strained. I think he disguised his voice so I wouldn't know what he really sounded like." It did sound familiar though. She thinks and realizes she saw something. "Wait, but I did see his hands. He has young looking hands and he had a small golden ring on his right ring finger. It had an engraving on it but I couldn't read what it said."
"Very good Miss Fujioka, that's a good start for getting the man who did this. Do you wish to be discharged now?" She looks at him, "Yes please, and don't bother calling my father. I can get a ride home." The man nods and leaves the room. She crawls across the bed and grabs her phone. Should I call Kyoya-senpai? No he would just add it to my debt. Maybe I should call Hani-senpai. He is the most level-headed right now. She flips open the phone and dials in his number hoping he'll pick up. "Hello?" A childish voice on the other line sounds like it's been crying. "Hani-senpai, could you pick me up from the hospital? I need a ride home so I can be there for when my dad gets home in the morning."
"I'll just take you to my house Haru-chan; it looks like it's going to rain and besides, Usa-chan and I are lonely without Takashi here." She blinks, "Mori-senpai isn't with you? What happened?"
"Nothing, he's just at home. I and Usa-chan will be there to pick you up soon just wait about 10 minutes. Bye Haru-chan!" Hani hangs up the phone.
(MoriPOV)
A soft knocks comes from the other side of his door. "Takashi, please let me in. Your father overreacted. I am not mad at you for loving her; I am just upset that you didn't tell us." He gets up off the floor and opens the door to see his mother's crying face. "Mother, what happened?" She walks into the room and closes the door, "You know… Your father has quite a temper. But he means well." She smiles slightly and then it disappears. "Mother I… I'm going to tell father that I am no longer his son." His mother looks up at him in surprise, "Why Takashi?"
"B-Because he is a terrible person; he doesn't respect me, he praises Satoshi for everything, he hits you, and… And most of all it's because… I love Haruhi, mother. I love her and I want to be with her." She slightly smiles, "You have grown up my son. I am very proud of you. I hope you and Haruhi are very happy together." He smiles, "Thank you mother." Mori leaves his room and heads to the office to face his father.
