A/N. Hey guys. Sorry again about the breaks. I'm not sure what's happening. Also, sorry about the year long hiatus. School got kind of wild. But now I am sitting here at my parent's house in Saudi Arabia doing NOTHING except streaming movies and writing fanfiction. So enjoy!
Also, no one has criticized me yet, but I know my grammar/spelling is far from perfect. Apologies if it annoys anyone, and I appreciate no one bitching about it. Fanfiction is for fun!
It took a while for Mori and Inez to shake off Tamaki and Hani. Tamaki went home, and wasn't very good at the fact that he was going to tell the rest of the host club. Inez was okay with that, she knew that they would figure out and it was probably for the best that it would be over with right away. Hani was off dancing somewhere.
The two of them were sitting in a rarely used parlor in the back of the estate. Usually, their time spent together was them doing their individual tasks together. Often in silence, but a lot of times one of them would be explaining what they were doing or just talking without response from the other. Both of them liked that, because they complete confidence that the other one was listening.
This time though, there was just a lot of blushing.
Finally, Mori spoke. "Alright."
Inez knew what he meant. "Yeah." She got up. "I'm going to take a shower and prepare for class. I'll find you in a bit." And went over and kissed him lightly. Mori froze.
Inez wasn't exactly pleased that she had to take the upper hand in the relationship, but she knew that Mori wouldn't let himself. She figured one day he would develop a bit.
She went off to shower, Mori sat there to collect his thoughts.
Tamaki went immediately to Kyoya's house.
"Kyoya!" He yelled at the front gates. "KYOOOOOOYAAAAA"
The maids sighed and rang for Kyoya. "He's on his way, Master Tamaki."
At the first sight of Kyoya descending the stair, obviously not please at his friends uninvited arrival; Tamaki screamed a list of commands at everyone in the room.
"IVE CALLED THE TROOPS! MAKE TEA AND SNACKS! URGENT MATTERS ARE AFOOT! WHERE'S YOUR NOTEBOOK KYOYA? LOVE IS A BLOSSOMINGGG!"
Kyoya rubbed his eyes in annoyance. "What is it, Tamaki?"
"MORI AND BABY TEAAACHER!" He sang "ARE IN LOVE!"
Kyoya nodded his head. "Mhmm."
"I've seen it with my own eyes! The two of them, passionately, yet shyly locking lips. It's like a mooovie!"
Kyoya looked unaffected. "Yes."
This was obviously not the response Tamaki was looking for. "We must be the ushers of a great love." He whimpered.
"Tamaki." Kyoya got serious. "Love as an idea can be novel and easily exploited, but if you truly think that there may be a deep connection between Ustaathana (our teacher) and Mori-Sempai I feel you should leave the matter alone. Besides, I have to criticize you for not noticing the romance."
Tamaki looked defeated.
"Don't listen to him boss!" Hikaru and Kaoru encouraged. They had arrived, with a confused and unhappy Haruhi.
"Without our intervention, Mori will be too awkward" Hikaru started
"And Chief will forget all about him as soon as she returns to the States."
"AND WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" The three chimed in unison. Haruhi looked confused. Kyoya briefly filled her in and her facial expression changed to annoyed.
"And god knows Mori will never ever have another girlfriend ever!" Tamaki cried. "This is his last chance for LoOoOoOve!"
"Yeah!" Hikaru and Kaoru agreed.
"And he's too good looking to let that happen!"
"Yeah!"
"And there's no way our intervening will mess this up!"
"Yeah!"
"EVERYONE! Get into my car! We have to go lay some ground rules for these fresh new lovers!"
"Yeah!"
"Wait?" Haruhi piped timidly "I don't want to be a part of this, and I feel obligated to stop it."
"Stop whining righteous sally!" Tamaki cried and waved his hands. Hikaru and Kaoru started pushing her against her will towards the exit. Kyoya followed uninterested.
Inez got out of the shower.
She was happy about the day's events. Being as giddy as a girl can about a new boyfriend, she wanted to immediately tell Margaret.
As she was waiting for Skype to log on, Mori knocked on the door.
"What's up?"
"Um." Inez waited as he overcame his bouts of awkwardness. She didn't look at her screen as John's face popped up, with Margaret tied up in the background, making funny faces.
Mori shook off whatever fear he was harboring (apparently Hani had insisted that it was his boyfriend duty to kiss her goodnight) and walked over and stiffly yet passionately kissed her. This pleased Inez immensely and gladly returned the kiss.
John's face dropped but instantly sullied with anger. Margaret made whooping noises. Mori and Inez's attention shifted to the whooping.
Their initial embarrassment was replaced with immense confusion.
"John?" They said in unison. Then they looked at each other.
"You know John?" Again in unison.
"Yeah. We used to compete"
"Yeah, we go to school together."
"MORINOZUKA? YOU'RE WITH MORINOZUKA?" John yelled.
"oooooooooooh yeeeeaaaaaaah." Margaret chimed in, making suggestive head bobs.
"MARGARET? YOU'VE KIDNAPPED MARGARET?"
"I couldn't find you!"
"SO YOU WENT TO ECUADOR AND KIDNAPPED MARGARET?"
"I found you."
"YOU'RE SO WEIRD!" Was the only thing Inez could think to say. Mori had a confused look plastered on his face. There was a short silence. "Well. What now?" Inez asked.
"Oh yeah. Well. Margaret here is subdued, and I will, uh, do terrible things if you don't come with me."
"Yeah. Then what? I hate you forever and we live awfully on your BOAT?" Inez muttered. John really wasn't a thinker. But John actually had a deep hatred of the Morinozuka family so that gave him ammunition.
"No. It's clear you hate me. But the Morinozuka's are not a safe family. Not for you. They will hurt. The little one, the tiny blonde one. He is an explosion waiting to happen. I want you safe, come with me and I'll take you home."
"What?"
Mori finally chimed in. "Uh. John. We're going to discuss for a second. We'll be right back." Mori grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out into the hallway.
"Well?" He asked her.
"I don't know?"
"You want to go to Ecuador?"
"Not really. Not to mention I can't pay for it."
"Well…I can."
"Psh. If anyone is going to pay for this affair, it will be John. Besides. Let's get him to come here."
"Okay."
They went back to the computer screen. "You come here." Inez said starkly.
"No. I'm not walking into a Morinozuka mine field. You have to come here."
Inez's face tightened. She wasn't sure what to do. This whole situation was more annoying than not.
"Fine. Send me a plane ticket and money for a visa and I'll go."
"You have to go alone."
"Yeah yeah." Inez muttered. She wasn't going to ask Mori to come along, but she knew he would. And there was no way for John to track who came along or not.
