"…"

Mori stared back at his fellow hosts, not sure of what to do. He personally felt that a girl should not be training in the art of kendo. Wait, actually, revise that. He felt that a girl attending Ouran Academy should not be training in kendo. It required much out of a person, and the girl looked as if she had been fencing. Kendo was a much harder sport. However, this girl had seemed like she had the drive to succeed.

"Well, Mori-senpai? What's your verdict?" Haruhi asked earnestly.

Tamaki pounced, the twins following suit.

"HARUHI! You would make such a cute lawyer!! Say that 'gain!!"

"Leave me alone!" Haruhi scowled and turned back around just in time to see Mori shrug, as if to say, "If that girl wants to join, it's her choice."

Haruhi flipped open the cell phone that the twins had given her. "Bossa-Nova? Please tell Hanaka that she may join the kendo club."

Meanwhile, Tamaki was crouching in his corner of woe, and Kyouya was making no effort to console his "best" friend.

"Why is Bossa-Nova in her contacts list and I'm not??" wailed Tamaki, making a little pond of tears. Haruhi rolled her eyes and pushed open the door to go home.

Kasanoda closed his cell phone and abruptly stopped walking, Tetsuya scurrying behind him and Hanaka.

"Kasa-kun? Why did you stop walking?" asked his cousin, as Tetsuya came up, bowing to 'Kasanoda-sama' and 'Miyano-sama.' "Ah, hello, Tetsuya-kun."

"Hanaka-san, Mori has agreed to let you into the kendo club!" Kasanoda relayed the good news to his cousin, whose look of sadness morphed to a look of utter elation.

"Are you serious?" she and Tetsuya cried at the same time, although Tetsuya was wearing a look of horror.

"What's wrong, Tetsuya?" Kasanoda asked, a bit weirded out. Tetsuya ignored his master and whipped around, grabbing Hanaka by the shoulders.

"You must not join the kendo club!" he said intensely. "It's dangerous!"

"Huh? But I took fencing! I will be fine, Tetsuya-kun. Don't worry about me."

"No, it's not that…" but Tetsuya refused to elaborate and merely walked onward to the Kasanoda home, drowning in his thoughts.

But nothing could rain on Hanaka's happiness as she imagined what training would be like.

"She may think she is strong-willed, but she is weak. She left my home in a spur of anger and desolation. She will return. Or, I will make her. I should have disowned her when I had the chance. Her mother had died because of her, and for that same reason I have no strong sons to inherit my division of the Miyano yakuza clan. This is her fault, so if she dislikes the way things are now, she should know that she brought it upon her own head. She will be returned to me within two months. And I want her alive this time. There are a few things I need to…do…with her. Do not be a fool like Takai. You need not return her in good condition, but as long as she is alive, you will bring her here within the limit of two months. Is that understood?"

A smile formed in the darkness.

"Yes, Master."

A man was seen several minutes after this conversation took place, leaving the Miyano house. He was shielding his face from any unwanted witnesses.

Two black Mercedes-Benz sedans were seen around the area, one stationed about two blocks away from the Kasanoda home, and the other pulling up alongside Ouran Academy. Three men filed out from each of the cars, carrying small cylinders. They hid these cylinders in strategic locations, filed back into the cars, and drove away.

A/N I decided that, since this story will not be as long as some others, to make the chapters slightly shorter in length than those of my other story. Also, this is because the perfect chapter endings happen to occur a bit sooner than they should, oops. Sorry! But I hope you keep reading and reviewing both of my stories so far!

(Oh, and things are about to get interesting for Hanaka.) P.S. I don't own Ouran Academy, Tamaki, Haruhi, Mori, Honey, Kasanoda, or Tetsuya. But, I do own Hanaka and Hiroshi. Muahaha! Anyway. Hanami Fujioka (a character from N(CSI), my other fanfic, doen't exist in this story.
