I'm so sorry everyone! This past year has been a crazy roller coaster, but I'm sorry to say that I am still not ready to be updating frequently. My semester ends in 4 weeks so afterwards I will be able to update more so please be patient with me you guys *bows*. I definitely want to go back in my stories to and fix the spelling and grammar mistakes that I didn't realize I had made, and there are so many D: but with that I am probably going to be re writing the first portion of this story thus this long chapter today.
And if you are reading my other story Long Time, I will be starting that story once the semester is over. So sorry!
Thank you for your patience and continuous support!
Please enjoy!
"Again!"
Hunny stayed laying down on the floor, his breath ragged, as he struggled to catch his breath. He looked over to the other side of the room, where another boy was in the same position as him. The man stomped towards Hunny, waiting for him to get up.
Hunny struggled to get up from the floor and glared up at his father.
"Otou-san! We're tired! Can't we do this another day?"
"Mitsukuni, Kamui-san and his daughter are coming today and we will be fighting to see who's fighting style is superior."
"Ah! Hana-chan is coming!"
"Yes, her father and her have just come back from overseas and I know that they are coming back with a lot more skill. So we need to practice! And if you are successful in beating Hana, then I will give you a prize."
Hunny beamed up at his father.
"Sweets?"
"That's if you beat her."
"Okay Otou-san, I won't let you down!"
Hunny, now having a goal, jumped to his feet and got in his ready stance. Hunny gazed over at Mori to see if he was okay and saw that he was already in a kneeling position off to the side of the dojo room.
As they were about to begin, a knock came at the door.
"Enter"
The door slid open and one of the older dojo students entered.
"Haninozuka-sensei, Kamui-sensei is on the phone for you."
"Don't tell me they're on their way already!"
"That seems to be the case."
Hunny's father let out a sigh.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
The student nodded and closed the door. Hunny's father looked at the two boys.
"You two can take a break and prepare yourselves. The Kamui's will be here soon. I will be back."
And with that he took his leave from the dojo.
As soon as the sliding door closed Hunny bounded over to where Mori was.
"Neh, neh Takashi. Are you excited to see Hana-chan again!"
"Ah."
"It looks like she'll be here when we start our first year in Ouran!"
"Ah."
"How long has it been since we last saw her?"
"2 years."
"Uwaaaaaah! 2 years! It seems like longer. But I hope that this will be a good start to the beginning of our high school lives."
"Mmm."
Hunny looked at Mori and he had his same stoic face. However, he could tell that Mori was excited. His first love was finally back in the country and would soon be here at the dojo.
Mori stayed in his knelt position as Hunny rolled around on the floor.
The dojo door suddenly slammed open and Hunny's father walked in. Following behind him was a man who didn't look any older than him and a young girl holding up the rear.
Hunny and Mori hurriedly got to their feet as they lined themselves up in front of the three who entered.
"Mitsukuni, Takashi you remember Kamui-sensei and Hana."
"Hai."
Hana's father approached the two boys and smiled down at them and patted both of their heads.
"My, these boys have grown so much in the last 2 years. What have you been feeding them Yorihisa?"
"What every growing boy needs Sadahiro. Their mother's food."
The two men boisterously laughed together, smacking each others back in their delight.
Hana looked from the men to the boys that stood in front of her. She gave them both a small smile in greeting.
Hunny ecstatically gave her a big smile and Mori gave her a curt nod.
She laughed at Hunny's antics and blushed at Mori's response.
"Alright then children. Kamui-sensei has been training Hana for a very long time and though I have not trained you two quite as long, this is the opportunity now to see who's teaching style and fighting style is more superior. Hana, you will be going against Mitsukuni. To your ready positions."
The two men and Mori went off to the side of the dojo, while Hunny and Hana met in the middle. They bowed to one another and got into their fighting stances.
"Start!"
"Well it seems that my Hana has come out the victor in this fight my old friend."
"That seems to be the end result."
"Yes, but it was a close fight Hana nearly made it through."
"Yes, they both put up a good fight. I must congratulate you for raising such a a fine daughter. Have you talked to Akira yet?"
"No, I haven't. But, I hope that he will not refuse an engagement for his son and my daughter. I've always felt Takashi to be as one of my own sons and I know that he feels the same way about my daughter. I want to leave my dojo to my daughter, but if she had a husband with as much martial arts skill they can become a frightening couple."
The two men laughed again
"Why don't you just have her marry my son?"
Yorihisa laughed after making that statement, while Sadahiro joined and gave him a pat on his back.
"I would, but look at them. The connection between them is undeniable."
The two men looked to where the three younger children were. Two of them taking care of the one that was beat in the fight.
"I'm so sorry Mitsukuni, I didn't mean to hit you so hard, but if I held back my father would have known."
"It's okay Hana-chan, I understand. Give me a couple more months and I'll be able to beat you and my father."
"I'll hold you to it Mistukuni. You've only recently started and you are already so good."
Hunny bashfully thanked Hana for her kind words. She smiled at Hunny as a hand suddenly grabbed her chin and tilted their head to look at them. She gasped as she realized it was Mori and he started rubbing ointment on her injuries.
"You also got hurt Hana."
Hana blushed at his touch and let him continue to rub the ointment on.
"Did you have fun at the Haninozuka's?"
"Yes father I did."
"I'm glad. So, what would you think of being engaged to Takashi?"
Hana got frazzled as she stuttered to answer her fathers question. Her father laughed at her nervous state and brought her into a side hug.
"It's okay my dear daughter. I know where you heart is at. His father and I are in agreement of getting you two engaged, but let us keep this a secret from your mother. I need some time to convince her of the whole affair."
Hana nodded her head in understanding. Her mother was a difficult person to reason with nowadays. She had not always been like this, but recently her mood and personality has shifted and has been much more difficult to deal with. Hana knew already that if her father tells her that her only daughter will be marrying someone of the Morinozuka family her mother will have a fit. They were a family that served the Haninozuka's, thus if it was to Hunny she would probably not have as much of a complaint.
The car pulled up to the Kamui estate and the two Kamui's got out of the car. Upon entering, many students were lined up and saluted them.
"Welcome home Kamui-sensei!"
"Thank you for coming to greet us. Now, get back to training! The day is not over yet!"
"Hai!"
All the students then rushed back to their training
"Welcome home dear."
Up at the entrance of the main home Kamui Saori stood, awaiting for the both of them to approach.
"Give your mother a kiss and go to your room. We will call you for dinner."
Kamui gave her father a nod and went to go greet and give her mother a kiss.
"Hello okaa-san."
"Hello."
Saori accepted the kiss to the cheek from her daughter and then grabbed her face to see what damage was done to her precious daughter.
"Oh, it seems your face has gotten bruised. That won't do. Your face needs to stay pure my dear. Be sure to not get hit in the face next time. We don't want a bruised package do we?"
"No okaa-san."
"Good, now go to your room. It seems I have some things to discuss with your father."
Hana nodded and proceeded to go to her room. She hurriedly got to her room and closed the door behind her. She then gave out a big exhale not even realizing she was holding her breath with her interaction with her mother. She laid down her things on the floor and went to sit down at her desk. She then proceeded to take out her phone and immediately pressed the call button knowing that the last person she talked to is the one she wanted to speak with now.
"Hello."
"Takashi."
"Hana."
"I was really glad that I was able to see you today. It seemed like it's been forever since I had last seen you."
"I'm happy too."
"I hope that the three of us will be in the same class when we go to Ouran."
"Me too."
"You know what I heard today?"
"Hmm?"
"My dad talked to your dad and said that we're going to be engaged."
"Really?"
"Yea, but he has to talk to my mother about it first."
"She will say no."
"You don't have to put it like that Takashi. You never know."
"Your mother hates me."
"She can't hate you, she doesn't even know you."
"But she knows of my family."
"Yea, she does. But, maybe, somehow, she will be okay with this."
"I hope so too."
Hana smiled to herself and was so happy that Mori wanted this as much as she did.
"Hana."
"Yes Takashi."
"Do you remember what I asked you before you left?"
Hana though back on the last play date that they had before she was to leave overseas to help her father develop their fighting style. Hunny had just fallen asleep on Hana's lap and her and Takashi leaned against the base of the tree enjoying the weather outside.
Hana gently stroked the top of Hunny's head until someone grabbed her hand.
"Hana."
"Yes Takashi."
"We should get married."
"What?"
"I want to marry you."
Hana bopped Mori on the top of his head with her free hand.
"Dummy. You don't just ask someone to marry. You have to take them out on a date and then become boyfriend and girlfriend. Takashi, you sure don't know a lot for an 11 year old."
"Oh."
"Jeez, Takashi. You should at least have seen some shows or movies. I know your mom and Mitsukuni's mom love to watch those korean dramas."
"Mmm. Then will you go out on a date with me."
Hana laughed at the boys suggestion and then to turned to look at him.
"Takashi, I'm leaving tonight. How are we going to go on a date?"
"But,..."
"How about when I come back we can go on a date then. Don't go asking other girls to go on a date with you or else I'll be really mad and tell Mitsukuni to beat you up."
"I won't. You're the only one for me Hana. When you come back I'll ask again."
Hana blushed at what he said and continued to stay under the tree with her hand still in Mori's.
"Yea, I remember. Are you going to fulfill that promise now?
"Yea, but instead I thought that we could just skip the dating and go straight to being boyfriend and girlfriend."
"What?"
"We'll go on dates as well, but I want to be boyfriend or girlfriend now. That way if we do get engaged we would have already been going out by then."
"Takashi."
"Mmm?"
"Okay."
"Really?"
"Yes."
There was a knock at the door and the door slid open.
"Miss, dinner is ready."
"Ah, thank you. I will be right down."
The maid gave a curt bow and slid the door back close.
"Takashi, I have to go. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay. Have a good night."
Hana hung up the phone and hurriedly went to the dining room. If she was late, her mother would have a fit. But, even if she got in trouble she wouldn't care because now she had a boyfriend with the boy she was in love with since she was a child.
"I don't want her to marry that disgrace of a family! Pathetic people who serve other people when they have so much money themselves. Living their lives like slaves for another family instead of making a name for themselves. Disgusting."
The married Kamui couple sat at the dining room table discussing the matter of Hana's engagement.
"Saori, since the two families joined in marriage the master and servant relationship is no more. This can be a good opportunity for us and the dojo. Would you please think on this?"
"It's a good opportunity for you, but it's not for my business."
"How were you thinking of as a candidate for Hana then?"
"The Ootori's of course. They are a family who is growing rapidly and that is just what we need."
"Saori."
"What? I made my mind up. I don't want her being engaged to that cretin."
"Saori."
"But you know what, I'll give it some thought for your sake. We wouldn't want to be going against you as my husband."
Saori glared at her husband and then got up from her seat.
"I have lost my appetite. I won't be joining you for dinner."
Sadahiro sighed as his wife walked away from the had ever happened to his ever so loving wife? But, he could only blame himself for the change in her.
He shook his head as he leaned back in his chair heaving a heavy sigh.
