Oh my goodness. I definitely feel really bad for not updating this story! I apologize with all my soul. I'm going to be trying to update this story and Familiar as much as I possibly can. I think in about 5 chapters though this story will be wrapping up, but that is just an approximate number. There might be more.
I know it's late but Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! It's 2014! Jeeez~
Hopefully this will be a year where I update more, lawl~ but yea. I might need suggestions soon though for another story so if you have suggestions or have any requests send them my way by either pm or in a review.
Hope you enjoy this story. You are going to see what Hana's mother really is like and it ain't pretty~
"Hana, come here and sit down next to me."
Hana had just arrived to the hotel with Kyouya and Ootori Yoshio to meet with her mother to talk about marriage. As requested, Hana went to go sit down next to her mother as the other two went to sit across from them.
"Now, going straight into the business. Hana, Kyouyo and Ootori-san already know much of this information but, I want you to know that the reception location and the wedding gown that you will be wearing has already been picked for you. We will be having it at one of the geisha houses that I own, the courtyard is perfect for what I want for you," Saori-san gently held the locks of her daughters hair in her hands and gently grazed her fingers along the side of Hana's face, "And of course the gown will fit along perfectly with the courtyard and of course with your beauty. Wouldn't you agree Ootori-san?"
"Yes Kamui-san, it will befit both of our children."
"Yes, yes it will. My, my, Kyouya, you have gotten a lot more handsome since I last saw you in Shinjuku. How lucky my Hana is to be betrothed to a young man like you."
Kamui Saori looked between the teens and smiled dazzlingly at both of them.
"Well then Kamui-san, Kyouya and I will be leaving now so we shall see you and Hana-san later."
"Yes, we will be seeing each other at dinner correct?"
"Yes, that is correct. Until then."
Hana looked up to Kyouya with a panic look on her face, who in return just avoided her gaze and looked directly at her mother. He bowed down to her and bid her farewell and turned and walked out of the hotel restaurant with his father.
"What did you do you little shit that your fiancee doesn't even want to look at your face?"
Kamui Saori had thrown away all of her etiquette and leaned back in her chair with one arm hanging off the back of the chair and crossing one leg over the other.
With her other hand she grabbed the glass of wine on the table and gulped down the rest of it.
She looked at her daughter and her face contorted to that of disgust.
"Well? Are you going to tell me or not?"
"I did not do anything mother."
She let out a huff out in disbelief and slammed her glass on the table.
"Don't fucking lie to me you little shit. I know you did something. Whatever it is I know that it's your fault so go apologize to him."
"I am not lying to you mother. I did nothing."
"And I'm fucking telling you that you're fucking lying! And I don't fucking give a shit if you did or didn't do anything. It's always going to be your fault no matter what so go apologize to him! You need to do whatever it fucking is to please him! You're not going to be able to find a better husband then him so be fucking grateful and bend to his every wish."
Hana bowed her head down and silently agreed with her mother with a nod.
"Good. At least you're good for one thing. You better be fucking grateful that I was able to have Ootori-san agree to let his son marry you. It would have been nice if it Yuuichi or maybe even Akito, he seemed to have taken an interest in you, but I guess it's better than nothing."
Hana kept her head down and Saori just looked at her with the disgusted look still on her face.
"Hmm, I hope he doesn't mind that you're not a virgin, but knowing you, you probably already seduced him into bed already."
Saori sat back up properly and gently patted the creases of her skirt down. As soon as she did a waiter came by the table with a bottle of wine in hand.
"Would you like some more wine Koumori-san?"
"Yes, thank you very much."
Saori gave the waiter a pleasant smile as he poured the wine into her glass and with a bow he walked away.
The smile on her face vanished and then she looked at her daughter.
All she could think of was how disgusted she was that her daughter, beautiful as she may be, was such a disgusting, putrid being that went against everything that she was raised to do.
She was meant to marry a powerful man.
She was meant to be the most obedient wife.
She was meant to help her family reach a level of success that they had never reached before.
She was meant to be the perfect slave that would do the biddings of others and not stray from her path or question it.
Where did it all go wrong Saori always thought to herself, and her only solution to that problem was that her daughter fell in love. And of all the people her daughter had to fall in love with was with a Morinozuka. At least if it was Haninozuka then maybe something could have worked out but sadly she didn't.
She grabbed the glass of wine and swung the liquid into her mouth and drank it's content with one big gulp.
"Your damn uncle is here at this hotel so let's go."
Saori quickly got up from her seat and began to walk to the elevator. Hana quickly followed behind her and kept herself out of her mother's sight as much as she could.
They got on to the elevator and went up to the 10th floor and walked to the end of the hall to their left and knocked on the last door.
The door opened revealing the hotel room and Saori and Hana quickly entered.
Once they entered, they noticed the teenage red-head that was standing in the middle of the room.
"Saori-obaa-sama, my father has been waiting for you."
"Hello Ritsu, it's nice to see you again. How's your mother?"
"She is well. She has taken an interest in flower arrangement so that is what she is doing at home at the moment."
"How nice. Where's you father?"
"He is in the bathroom, he should be coming out soon."
"Mmm, okay. How about you and Hana go out and walk around the hotel, I need to speak to your father privately."
"Yes Saori-obaa-sama."
With a nod form the two teens they headed out the room.
"It's been awhile since I've seen you Hana. How is Big Brother?"
"Takashi is doing fine, but I'm getting married soon."
Ritsu looked at Hana shockingly and stuttered out the words.
"You're going to marry Big Brother!? That's great! I'm surprised that Saori-obaa-san is letting you guys get hitched! Now I can have him train me more now we'll be family and he can teach me his ways!"
"Hold your horses Ritsu. I'm not marrying Takashi."
Ritsu halted in his steps and turned to look at Hana.
"Wait. Then who are you marrying?"
"Ootori Kyouya."
"That guy!? I don't approve. You should definitely marry Big Brother. He seems more the type to be able to handle our kind of family."
This statement caused Hana to stifle out a giggle and she looked at Ritsu with laugher in her eyes.
"He's not becoming a part of the Kasanoda family Ritsu. He's marrying into mine."
"But you dad runs a dojo. Shouldn't he know how to fight?"
"I will be taking over the dojo while Kyouya keeps my mother's businesses in check."
"Mmm, well I guess he's good for something."
"Yea, I guess he is."
"It doesn't seem that you're too excited to marry him though."
"That's because I'm not."
"Then why don't you just get out of this arranged marriage? Can't your father do anything?"
"I can't, and he's not able too."
"Why can't you?"
"Because if I do, I don't know what my mother would do to me or to Takashi. I know she will assume that it was Takashi that did something and she will take out her anger on him."
"Hana…"
Ritsu placed a hand on Hana's shoulder and she looked back to him.
"I'm scared Ritsu."
And that was the first time that Ritsu had ever seen his cousin breakdown.
"Hana, what exactly happened during the time you were gone from Ouran?"
Well I'll end it here. And now we shall find out in the next chapter how Hana and Mori's relationship fell! Until then~
