The chicken pox was over after a few days and Yuki had her freedom. But it was the last day of summer. Yuki wanted to crawl in a hole and cry over how she lost her precious summer.
Yuki had work to do. The host club was there with her, except Haruhi, who was finishing up her homework, so she stayed home. But Hazuki was there too.
"You know, I think I'm going to attend Ouran with you guys." Hazuki announced.
"Really!?" Hazuki nodded.
"It's just a temporary thing, but while I'm here, I might as well get an education." Hazuki explained. Yuki's phone began to ring. Yuki excused herself and answered the phone in the back.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? AND WHERE THE HELL IS AKINA!?" Daichi screamed.
"Don't you yell at me! Where the hell have you been!? I've been gone for months with Akina! Mom's in jail!"
"WHAT!?" Michio was there too.
"You guys are the worst. Mom pulled a knife on me when she was drunk. I'm staying with someone, Akina with someone else. She's fine. I see her almost everyday." Yuki replied coldly.
"And you didn't bother to call and let us know?" Daichi demanded.
"What about you!? You didn't bother to tell me that dad was alive! You didn't bother to tell me he was filthy rich! You didn't bother to tell me I had a twin!" Yuki shot back. That shut them up. Yuki didn't want an explanation. She was done. "So where have you been with your heads up your asses?"
"With dad...working against his competitor here. Business stuff." Michio replied quietly.
"Who's this stupid competitor?" Yuki demanded.
"The Ohtori zaibatsu owner." Yuki dropped the phone. Her father...Kyoya's father...are rivals? What will he do when he finds out? She'll be on the street!
Yuki picked up the phone.
"Something wrong?" Daichi asked.
"No...nothing."
"So now that you know..." Michio began.
"Stop." Yuki cut in. "Nothing's going to change. You two are going to be dad's successor. Hazuki will do something with buildings or something. And I am going to work for the rest of my life as a slave to pay off my debt. Even when I'm dead, it wouldn't be paid off."
"Tell us where you are. We are coming to get you." Daichi demanded.
"Do not tell them." A voice growled from behind Yuki. Yuki spun around to face Kyoya.
"You were listening in!? This is a private conversation!" Yuki snapped.
"Don't tell them where you are." Kyoya repeated.
"You're not my father! You can't tell me what to do, four eyes." Yuki retorted. Kyoya grabbed the phone.
"No need to worry. Your sister, Yuki, is safe in my care. Akina is safe with a close friend." And then, Kyoya hung up. Yuki glared and ripped the phone from Kyoya's hand.
"You bastard! Who do you think you are!?"
"The man you're in debt to." He answered, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose in that annoying way he does.
"You can't keep pulling that over me! That was totally uncalled for! Now they'll think I'm with a rapist or something! You handle your issues with your brothers, and I'll handle mine!" Yuki hissed. She was done. Yuki did not wait for an answer. She changed her clothes and stormed out of there.
Yuki sprinted out the backdoor and down the street. She rounded a corner and ran right into Haruhi, who was carrying groceries.
"Oh, sorry, Haruhi!" Yuki apologized, bowing repeatedly.
"It's fine, Yuki." Haruhi reassured.
"Hey, can I make it up to you and carry your bags for you?" Yuki didn't wait for an answer and grabbed half of the bags. "So, which way to your house?"
"That way." Haruhi lead Yuki to her house.
"I thought you had homework to do." Yuki pointed out. Haruhi smiled sheepishly.
"I lied because I had errands to run and I didn't want to have them follow me and drag them around." Haruhi explained.
"Ah. Smart. But I got stuck with them."
"Oh. Sorry. I just don't get anything done with them around..."
"No, it's fine. I'm getting used to them. Maybe not the jackass four eyes...but everyone else like Hunny-senpai and Tamaki-senpai and the twins." Yuki assured. Haruhi smiled.
After dropping off the groceries, Haruhi and Yuki spent the afternoon together. Yuki knew a lot of recipes, so she gave them to Haruhi. Haruhi baked and cooked them under Yuki's supervision and they turned out great.
They still didn't have much in common, but they sort of just talked the rest of the time. Yuki stayed over for dinner and met Haruhi's dad. They got along well.
Author: So, I have an idea for a dark twist, but I'm not sure if I should post it. It's very random and out there greatly affects Yuki, so I'm on the fence about it. :/
