Here it is, after nearly a month (or maybe it's more than a month?) the sequel to Five Reasons!

Just a reminder, I still don't own Ouran. Only the Quints and Kyle. Plus a few more OCs...

Found her. This is going to be a big problem, Kyle.

I put down my phone and sighed after re-reading the message. It looked like now was the time to collapse into a chair. As I settled into the soft fabric of my favorite armchair, I let loose a tired groan.

Didn't I tell Sara not to go poking through her father's private files? I was sure that I had warned her that there would be things that she wasn't ready to deal with. Especially not now when she was so close to planning a vote to oust her father.

As I suspected, most of the employees at the American branch had been more than happy to sign over their allegiance to my favorite non-biological emotionless little sister. It was almost too easy. Maybe laughable considering how they all had searched frantically for a pen once I had presented them the paper that would prove their acceptance of her taking over the company, should it happen.

There had been so many binders that went around, I had been anxious to get them to Sara so that I could prove once and for all that everyone thought she was as good as I knew her to be.

I was hoping she wouldn't make any moves just yet. I told her we needed to wait a year, these things take time and she wasn't old enough yet. But once again, she ignored my guidance and went bulldozing into trouble while I was an ocean away.

Sara had insisted that I spend time with my family while in America before joining her in Japan. But it was so hard to be focused on my darling girls when I knew that Sara was still in danger of her father's blows. The more I spent time here the less I wanted to leave again. And then that made me feel guilty because I had promised her I would stay by her side until this all blew over.

Being a Father was way too hard.

"Daddy!" My eldest daughter Mia whined. "Are you leaving again?! Take me this time, daddy!" She said this every time I looked at my phone, so I was prepared to give her my standard answer.

"Princess, you know that you don't understand Japanese." I smiled and stroked her red hair, it sort of reminded me of those twins who were in love with Susanna and Suzette. At least Mia had a reason for inheriting her red hair since her mother is part Irish.

"Maybe we should teach her and Kiki." My wife, Julia said with a smile. She repositioned the baby in her arms so she could give me a peck on the cheek. "The girls miss you."

"I know." I replied with a tired sigh "It's just that..."

"I know, you're worried about Sara." Julia frowned and then held Kiki closer to her. "Sometimes I wonder if it was a good idea for you to agree to work over there; even now you feel a million miles away."

Rising from my chair, I took her in my arms and stared into her eyes seriously. "What do you want me to do? Quit? Like it or not Julia, that girl depends on me."

"Your daughters depend on you too!" She protested with a pleading look. "Kyle, at least stay a month. Mia and Kiki and..." She bit her lip like she was nervous. "I need you here too."

This was not something I needed right now. "Jules, you knew when you married me that my work is very important to me. Besides, you know how Sara is. I'm the only one she's letting help her."

Julia sighed and then moved away to put Kiki in her play-pen. "You missed Mia's fourth birthday you know."

"Oh!" I looked at Mia and grinned. "Did I mention that Sara is going to buy us a horse?" Well, she had mentioned it once. I supposed if I begged her she would take care of it.

"A horsy!?" She squealed. "For my birthday!?"

"Yes, for your birthday since I missed it. Are you okay with that princess?" I asked her before picking her up and snuggling my face into her neck. She giggled and wrapped her little arms as best as she could around my head.

"Yes!"

My wife sighed. "Where are we going to keep a horse?" She was trying to spoil my good news with her logic! But she had a point...

"In the stables of course!" I announced before twirling Mia around. "We can rent a stall. And get you riding lessons." Lessons that I wouldn't be able to take her to if I went back to Japan like I had planned. That immediately soured my mood, but I tried not to let Mia see my smile fade. I hugged her tightly.

"How do you say princess in Japanese, daddy?" Mia asked.

I answered her immediately, but I was confused as to why she was asking that now. "Why?"

"Mommy says that we should move to Japan since she's going to be modeling there!"

My head snapped over to my wife. "What?"

Julia shrugged. "There is a firm there that wants me to model for them. They're offering me a lot of money." She shook her head and bit her lip again. "But the girls..."

"What firm?" I asked feeling a little worried. Kobayashi Industries had recently taken over a magazine thanks to the work of Suzette at the branch in France. Their empire was starting to spread over a variety of different companies, almost too many to maintain successfully.

"Hitachiin Fashions." She answered with another shrug. "I don't know if I want-"

"You should take the job," I said quickly. "I know the CEO and she's a very nice lady. She works with Sara's sister."

Julia frowned at me. "Do you think Sara arranged this? Because I appreciate it but she can't run our lives for us."

"It was probably Suzette," I said honestly. I have found out that if you give Suzette the same resources as Sara then she uses them wisely. She was becoming quite inept at picking which stocks to invest in. I was almost afraid to tell Sara that her sister was doing better than her in that respect.

"That family can cause a lot of trouble for us." She looked at Mia and smiled at her. "Sweetie, why don't you play on the computer?"

"Okay, mommy!" Mia squirmed in my arms until I put her down. Then she ran out of the room shouting random words in Japanese. I could recognize a few words that I taught her and some I didn't remember teaching her.

I shook my head at her antics. She was so cute! I just wanted to hold her and squeeze her until she realized how much I loved her.

Then that familiar sinking feeling in my stomach appeared, making my knees give out so I have no choice but to sit down back in the armchair.

This feeling happened whenever I looked at my girls and thought of how I would hate it if they were ever hurt. And then I couldn't help but think of how a father could even think of hurting his daughter. That then led me to think of Sara and how her bruises have finally faded. And that made me wonder how long her skin would stay that creamy white after she saw her father again.

"Kyle."

I plastered a smile on my face. "Yes?"

Julia put a hand on my shoulder and lightly squeezed. Oh no, she looked concerned. "You have that look on your face again. Every time you let go of one of the girls you get that look. You never did that before you came back from Japan."

With my thoughts still on Sara I could hardly pay attention to myself. So to bring myself out of it, I patted her hand. "Don't worry darling. It's nothing." But she didn't listen and she kneeled down in front of me and stared straight into my eyes.

"You better tell me Mr. Sanders or I swear I will think the worst!"

She couldn't possibly guess, so I forced out a grin. "Humor me."

"You're cheating on me and you have another family in Japan so now you're feeling guilty because you're leaving us for them."

My jaw dropped. "What?" How could she think that?!

Julia smiled at my expression and then kissed my cheek. "I said I would think the worst."

I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her onto my lap. "I promise that won't ever happen." Of course, Mr. Kobayashi couldn't say the same. Thinking of him made me angry so I tried to keep my mind off him by kissing her neck. But I found that I was not so much in the mood for that so I laid my head on hers. "It's not about that. It's nothing."

"To hell with that!" She scolded me. "Kyle, I'm your wife! I know you better than that. Something is bothering you!" She ran her fingers through my hair and I knew she was probably frowning. "Why won't you tell me?"

Ah, there was the spirited woman I knew and loved. "Julia, it's not something I can tell you."

We were both silent for a few minutes, just holding each other. Being away from her and the girls took a toll on me and on them. I knew that, Jules knew that and that's why we hadn't spoken about it until now. She didn't tell me about the job in Japan because she wanted to know if I still planned on leaving. She knew something was wrong and I normally told her everything, but I couldn't tell her this. She loved Sara ever since I introduced them.

I remember when they first met and she told her they could be girlfriends. Poor Sara hadn't realized that phrase only meant friends in certain contexts and had asked if that meant she and I could be girlfriends too. I started calling her my little girlfriend to tease her; well, only after I made sure she wasn't really uncomfortable.

Kiki started to whimper.

Jules sighed and relaxed into my arms. "Do you think I should take the job? Be honest." She turned her head slightly to look at my expression. I tried to channel my inner Sara and looked blank, but I knew I would fail miserably. I could only smile when I looked at Julia.

"You know Japanese, don't you?" I asked absentmindedly, drawing random shapes against her skin with my finger. I was busy wondering if Sara would let us stay at her second mansion or if that would be too much to ask.

"Kiki will be hearing Japanese."

"It won't hurt her. And it's not like we'd stop speaking English."

"Mia won't be near her friends. And who will take care of the girls while we're both at work?" When she said that I knew that she had made up her mind to go to Japan. It would be nice to have them there, but I worried about what Mr. Kobayashi would do to them if this whole thing went sideways.

"Well, that can be arranged...if Sara says yes to my proposal."

"And what will you be proposing?" Julia questioned, before casting a quick glance at Kiki in her play-pen. She stopped whimpering and instead started bouncing a toy against the walls of the playpen.

Hmm, Julia probably wouldn't like it. Just as I was about to tell her that it was going to be a surprise, my phone vibrated. She reached over and picked it up. I can see her eyes read the name and then the smile that came soon after it. "It's your other girlfriend." She teased before handing it to me.

I smirked and then clicked the answer button. "Hey, boss!"

"You didn't answer back."

"I'm spending time with the family as ordered," I answered while looking back at Julia. She gestured for me to put the speakerphone on. But I had to see what this was about before I did that.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were at the branch. I will call back lat-"

"No, no! Julia wants to say hi." I clicked the speaker phone and allowed my wife to say "Hello my competition!"

Sara laughed. "Julia! You're almost as bad as Kyle."

"He's taught me bad habits." She protested with a laugh of her own. "So we have some news."

"Really Kyle? You couldn't wait until you came back for good?"

I blushed at what she was implying. "No! That's not it!" This was not how it usually goes! I was supposed to be the one teasing her!

"No baby, Sara. I wanted to tell you the girls and I are going to Japan too. I got a modeling job at Hitachiin Fashions." Julia told her as she nudged me playfully. No doubt it was because she saw the blush on my cheeks. 'Maybe later.' She mouthed before winking. My face felt much warmer than it did before.

"Congratulations." Sara sounded sincere, but I could hear the slight shaking in her voice. "Have you found a place to stay?"

"We just decided to go," Julia replied with a sigh. "I don't want an expensive place to rent, but it needs to be nice enough-"

"You're not renting when I have plenty of room at my house." Sara interrupted. "Anywhere else will be too cramped or expensive. And besides Kyle stayed here and you could have a ride to work every morning. My sister, Suzette, also works for Hitachiin Fashions. I'm sure she'd love to have you as her dress-up model."

"But the girls!" Julia protested. "Kiki is one and she cries a lot and Mia runs around and-"

"The maids can handle them." She sounded amused. "I'm sure they'd love kids in the house."

All I could do was grin. Sara always seemed to know what I wanted before I asked for it. It was times like this when I appreciated how generous she was. "Thanks Sair-Sair!"

Julia however, appeared unsure as she gave me a soft glare. "You're taking advantage of her!"

"Oh, I assure you, if Kyle was taking advantage of me there would be a lot of pain in his life." Her voice cooled by a few degrees and it nearly gave me the shivers. I was reminded how unpleasant it was to get on her bad side. It was a good thing she liked me, for being a 17-year-old she certainly was intimidating. That's one thing she surely inherited from that douche of a father of hers.

"See! She likes us. She won't mind and neither will her siblings, right?" I asked her.

"You'll have a wing of the house all to yourselves." Sara's voice sounded lighter now. More carefree, but not like how she was before going back to Japan. I would always miss that energy and optimism that used to come so easily to her in the past. "I'll talk to my siblings about it if that makes you feel better Julia," she sighed. "How are Mia and Kiki?"

Julia looked impressed. "You remembered their names! You haven't met Kiki yet, but Mia's hair turned this beautiful red color. Obviously, her Irish roots are definitely starting to come out. Kiki looks more like her daddy though. Dark brown eyes that seem to stare into your very being and honey-colored hair. Just be warned, Mia is not fond of you for taking away her daddy."

I was wondering when Julia was going to mention that. That didn't mean I approved. It wasn't fair for her to tell Sara that right now. Not when Julia didn't know the whole story. "Don't worry, Sair-Sair she'll get over it and call you Auntie in no time."

"I thought I was too young to be an aunt." Sara's voice has lost its carefree tone. "I already feel too young to be planning a wedding."

Julia reacted to that right away. "Who said anything about marriage, Sara?"

"Kyle didn't tell you? My father arranged a marriage for me."

Ooo, bad move on Sara's part. Julia looked furious. "HE DID WHAT?!"

"Calm down, darling." I rubbed her hand comfortingly and then said "Boss, you know how she feels about the arranged marriages. She's going to be ranting all the way to Japan!"

"She deserved to know before she came."

Well, she did have a point there. "So when should we catch a flight-"

"I'll send the jet. Stephen and I will be stopping in Japan to drop off Raku before sending the jet your way. Before you ask if we need it, we don't."

"You're too kind to us, Sara," Julia told her. "And we I get to Japan I will yell at your father for making you marry so young!"

I froze and I could almost see Sara doing the same. "Darling...please don't get involved." To soothe Sara I made sure to say it loud enough for her to hear. "Sara has it under control."

"Fine." Julia pouted and crossed her arms. "But if you actually want to marry him I want to be a bridesmaid."

Sara laughed at that. "Deal."

"We'll see you soon, boss," I told her with a grin.

"Goodbye Kyle, we'll discuss business later. Goodbye Julia, I hope you'll find Japan enjoyable."

"Bye, my husband's girlfriend!" Julia waved as if Sara could see her.

I could almost see her rolling her eyes. "He really did teach you bad habits."

"Bye, my sweet girlfriend!" I sing-songed.

"Are you drunk again Kyle?" Then the line went dead. Traitor.

"You were drunk in front of Sara!?" Julia yelled. "Kyle! How unprofessional of you! Now I have to find a way to comfort that poor child after seeing you drunk!"

Great. I should have known she would get me back for saying that...I was going to have to be more careful about teasing her now that she would be so close to my wife.

Well, I have finally deemed myself ready to give this to you guys. But be warned, school has started so updates are not going to be frequent.

Tell me what you think!
