THE REI ESTATE
MONDAY - 11:01 P.M.
"Wait, so what is going on? Why do you want us to back away? They already paid the ransom," Kaoru said.
"And us," Hikaru stated.
Kyoya shook his head, "The daughter paid. Their true objective is something else,"
"How do you know that?" Hikaru asked.
"We've been watching them for weeks since we got back," Kyoya explained.
Hikaru glared at Tamaki, "You've been back for weeks,"
Tamaki looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
"So what's the objective?" Mori questioned.
Kyoya handed Mori a small file folder. "Same old song and dance, father owes money. However, he's prepared to sell his daughter off to pay it off,"
"What?" Hikaru questioned sharply.
"You're kidding?!" Kaoru shouted.
"Nope. The kidnappers who are ransoming his younger kids…is the same person that he's trying to marry his oldest daughter off to," Tamaki stated.
Hikaru, Kaoru, and Mori looked at each other in disgust at the father's cowardly ways.
"And since she paid the ransom, she signed her fate away," Kyoya continued.
"We can't let this happen," Mori stated.
"Exactly," Hikaru pointed.
"Then make a plan fast, he's here," Tamaki pointed.
A fancy, black town car pulled up in front of the luxury estate house with an even fancier person on the inside.
TRAIN NUMBER 6
12:01 A.M.
Along Train number 6, Kyo and Tohru were seated in a private car where Tohru could lay on her back along the red cushioned seats. Kyo placed a blanket over her sleeping body and sat down across from her as the train moved along the tracks. He stared out the window to see a beautiful night sky view of the mountains in the background cradling in small towns. It was a breathtaking sight. He smiled at the memories of being in the mountains with his master training and now traveling around them with his pregnant wife.
He loved the sight of her sleeping, and her arm over her belly protecting it like a new mother. He smiled and felt himself slowly drift off to sleep.
BUNKYO STATION
8:39 A.M.
Kyo stepped off the train first and reached his hand back for her. Tohru took his hand and walked over to the bench to sit down while he got the luggage. They joined hands and made their way to the hotel they would be staying at.
5TH AVE HOTEL
9:01 A.M.
Tohru pressed her key card into the door slot and opened the hotel room. They stepped into the room and Kyo sat the luggage down. Tohru made her way to the bed and sat down on the bed. She wrapped her arm around her belly and rubbed it sweetly.
"Hello my baby, I can't wait to see you before the year's end," she giggled.
Kyo walked over and knelt between her legs. He rested his forehead on her belly gently and sweetly. "I can't wait to see you, my son or daughter. Don't be too mean to mommy or she'll get cranky," he joked.
"Ha, ha," Tohru laughed sarcastically.
"Hmm," he straightened up and then lifted his beautiful wife to lay further back on the bed. "Get some rest, it's been a long ride,"
She nodded and snuggled into the bed. She wrapped herself in the covers and rested her head on the pillow. Before she knew it, she slowly fell asleep while Kyo made the room comfortable. He stepped into the bathroom and pulled out his cell phone.
"Hey, we made it," he said into his phone.
"…good, how's Mrs. Honda?" Yuki asked.
"She's sleeping, I want her to rest after such a long train ride. Worried for the baby and her," Kyo said.
"She'll be fine, just make sure she eats," Rin's voice came in the background.
"And make sure she doesn't move around a lot," Hatsuharu said.
Kyo nodded. "I got it, thanks y'all," he said.
He hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Some hours passed by and Kyo ordered dinner service to be brought to their room just as Tohru opened her eyes to see an orange, dim candle-lit glow. The smell of food woke her up and she was instantly hungry. She adjusted herself in the cream-colored sheets so she was sitting on her butt as Kyo approached with a rice bowl, assorted fried meats, dumplings, and miso soup.
"My god, I think I'm hungry enough to eat all of this," she said.
"It's never as good as your cooking," he said.
She smiled sweetly at him and pulled him into a kiss. He pressed back into the kiss but when he tried to pull backward she pulled him back.
"Mm!" he grunted.
Tohru pushed the food aside and pulled Kyo down on the bed. He stared up at her in shock at her sudden aggressiveness.
"Where did that come from? Horny too?" he questioned.
"I'm always ready for my sexy husband," she said seductively.
"Oh?" he chuckled.
They kissed again and started to undress one another until Kyo suddenly stopped, "Will it harm the baby?"
"No, still in the first month," she said. "It's crucial but…okay," she finished.
They wrapped their arms around each other and devoured each other that night. The lovemaking. The kissing. The passion. Their love was growing even stronger.
THE REI ESTATE
MONDAY - 12:01 A.M.
Beautiful Saki was led outside by her parents, wearing a light blue perfectly fit and indulgence silk long gown and matching robe. The shiny black town car came to a stop and she looked over her shoulder to her parents in confusion. Her father pushed her forward a bit, as the town car's door opened and a rather good-looking man with red hair and golden eyes stepped out of the car. He fixed his tuxedo jacket and cracked his neck.
"Who are you?" Saki questioned.
"Now is that any way to greet your future husband?" the man said with a devilish grin.
Saki's eyes widened in disbelief, as she looked back and forth between the two. "Father?"
"Saki, my daughter, your day has come to pay your dues and respect to this family," her father said slowly, "Our debts were higher than once believed, you paid a portion to retrieve your siblings but there is more,"
"What?" Saki gasped.
"Because of your father's ridiculous gambling debts," her mother's side glared at her father who looked away in shame, "We have to put more down, so, meet your husband who will return your siblings in the process,"
Saki gasped and looked around in realization, "You ... .you sold me?"
Her parents stiffened. "You are part of this family. Play your part," was all her father said.
She stood there in disbelief, and couldn't find the words to say until a sound smacked her back into reality. Her siblings tapped on the window to get her attention.
"Saki! Saki!" they called for her with fear in their voices.
She rushed to the window to retrieve them but her soon-to-be "husband" grabbed her arm pulling her away from the window. "You will have them back once we are married," he declared.
She gasped in disgust at him, ripping her arm away.
"...never," she spat.
"Saki!"
"I will never marry someone I don't know or don't love! Especially a pompous, arrogant prince like you!" she snapped.
His face angered, drew back his hand, and slapped her across the face so hard the impact sounded like an echo through the dark crisp air.
"Onee-san!" her siblings shouted for her.
"Saki, do what he says," her mother pressed.
Saki held the side of her face, which now had a bit of a bloody lip.
"You should remember your place," he snapped.
Saki slowly raised her chin to him and held her composure showing great strength and pride to hold her ground. He was about to strike her a second time when his arm was suddenly yanked backward. They all gasped then to see Mori was the one holding his arm and yanking him back.
"I think that'll be enough," Hikaru said, coming into view.
"Hikaru," Saki gasped.
The rest of the male host club members stepped into view.
"Who are you? This is a private family matter," the mother explained.
"Your daughter came to us for help in saving her siblings," Hikaru explained, "Our duty is to help her and fulfill her request,"
"What request? What did you do?" her father barked at his daughter.
"I went to the host club for help," Saki snapped.
"You went to that degenerate host club that entertains girls for help!" her father shouted.
"Yes! You weren't doing anything to get them back so I did!" Saki shouted at her father.
"And what a whirlwind we found," Kaoru chimed in.
Mori physically separated Saki from the man while Hikaru stepped up to the father. "You have outstanding debts with a lot of people….including our family," explained.
"What?"
"My name is Hitachiin Hikaru and this is my twin brother, Kaoru. I'm sure you know who we are," Hikaru stated.
"Your Hitachiin's sons," he answered.
"Mmhmm, and I know you owe our father…a lot of money," Hikaru stated.
"How do you know-"
"You're famous in the gambling rings ... and so is our father…you owe him, more than he owes anyone else," Kaoru chimed in.
"You have no proof," her father shook his head.
"Oh, do we?" Kaoru questioned.
Hikaru then pulled out his cell phone and unlocked it, "You frequent three main casinos and hotels to gamble. I have enough influence to gain their records," he explained, showing the screen.
The father's eyes widened and he reached for it but Hikaru pulled his phone away. He shook his head. "I also have the debts you owe our father…and I can make it go away,"
"You're his son, not him!"
Tamaki patted Hikaru's back, giving him some confidence.
"He's not around and very careless at times. I have your documents," Hikaru swiped to another screen showing it, "So, you either make a deal with me and your dirty past gets erased or I leak everything to your other correctors. Your choice,"
The father hesitated for a moment, looked at his wife, and relented, "What's your deal?"
"...free your daughter," Hikaru said.
"What?"
"Decline this marriage, and let her marry whom she wants," he stated.
Saki's eyes widened in hope, the man looked confused, and the father shook his head in confusion. "Wha-why?"
"When your daughter stepped foot in the host club it is our duty to make sure she is satisfied and happy," Hikaru finished.
Tamaki smiled. The father looked back and forth between the host club and the future husband. He sighed, "Fine, I'll take your deal and free my daughter," he stated.
"WHAT?! You owe me! You-!" the potential husband shouted.
"And you," Kyoya started to say. "I have some interesting files on you," he said, tapping his iconic clipboard.
The young man stared at Kyoya with concern. "You have a large amount of people looking for you,"
He blanked and Saki turned to him in shock.
"So, I'll make this simple. You leave, leave her be, and go back into hiding or I'll gladly make a phone call," Kyoya warned.
The man was about to respond when he heard his car being opened. Kaoru and Tamaki had opened the doors to let the siblings out.
"Five seconds," Kyoya warned.
He quickly hurried into his car and told the driver to go. Nearly almost hitting the two siblings. They rushed to Saki's arms as she cradled them and kissed their heads.
"I guess our work here is done," Tamaki said.
Saki looked up immediately, "Wa…wait! Thank you. Thank you so much," she said.
All of them gave her a simple nod of the head.
"Suoh!" barked the father.
Tamaki stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around to face him. The host club members paused but didn't approach. Tamaki raised his eyebrow at the father.
"How dare you and your posse come here after everything your father, your family put the rest of us through!" he shouted.
The twins looked at Tamaki with caution. Tamaki raised his chin.
"Everything your family put the rest of through! Why do you think I did what I did!? To save my house! While you and your pretty father flaunt your money to do whatever you want! The rest of us be damned! Who are you?!" he shouted.
Tamaki slowly approached the man. Saki held her siblings close but straightened up.
"Tamaki?" she said.
He stopped in front of her father and glared at him. "My father might be my father but I am not like him. I would never sell my daughter!" he spat in the man's face with such a hardened tone it even made Mori uneasy.
"My blood is half! Half Suoh! I am not full! You take that up with my father and grandmother! I am my own man. And as a man," Tamaki grabbed the man's collar and pulled him closer, "Admit your mistake and faults. And fix it at your own hands. Not sell others out!"
Hikaru stiffened a bit. Haruhi might not agree with that statement.
