Marriage announcement

There wasn't to say that crazy things didn't happen at Ouran, but to say that something so crazy happened that shocked even the infamous Host club, was to say that somewhere out there in the world someone did something so outrageous to beat the concept of a group of rich, self-important students, making mockery out of a very legitimate hosting business, knowing nothing of the struggles of real hostesses who had to light up cigarettes of some loser assholes after their boring 16 hour jobs and sit in that damn smoke and then drink with them every day. Every goddamn day.

That wasn't entertaining. But what could host club's self proclaimed king know. He had just shipped himself from France to Japan and had a glamorous understanding of everything that resembled nothing he was accustomed to.

There was a major scandal after everyone found out about Kyoya's and Haruhi's engagement. Wait! Engagement? Are you freaking serious bunch of sixteen-year olds were engaged just like that? And don't mind reason, the fact that these two were engaged wasn't even the most shocking part to Ouran students. Nah, the cerebral crème de la crème of Ouran academy couldn't sleep over the fact that Haruhi Fujioka entertaining guests as a male host, was in fact a female. The most astonishing part, though, club members found out later on, when Haruhi and Kyoya announced that they were getting married in less than a week and to spare themselves the trouble would not participate in the reception party. Instead they would leave for a vacation right after the legal registration of their union. Needless to say that it was so sudden that the first reaction obviously was disbelief. But the disbelief changed into a great confusion when the host club got the wedding invitations.

Twins were furious to find out that the relationship and engagement was done behind their backs and that Shadow King betrayed them. Tamaki was crying like a little puppy and was upset all the time, until he realized no one is going to pay attention to his dramatic acts. Honey and Mori were quite happy and were looking forward to the actual wedding, especially Honey-senpai; well you know they usually serve a huge, tasty cake at weddings. Everything seemed pretty unusual but yet very exciting and beautiful.

The rumours of Haruhi being pregnant were circulating among the students. Some still believed Haruhi was a guy, and with a great effort they were making up stories of the romantic relationship Haruhi and Kyoya shared during the host club hours. Some insisted they already knew from the beginning what was going on and was just waiting for the acceleration of events.

What the club didn't know was that Haruhi and Kyoya were not marrying because they loved each other. There was a completely different and in fact really disturbingly strange reason they were getting married for. Something that no one, except the two, knew about or could even news was surprising for many others too. To Kyoya's surprise his father Yoshio Ootori was actually quiet happy about it.

"I thought you will never go for her," the comment he made shocked Kyoya.

Kyoya didn't respond. His reasons for marriage were quite different, than what his father could imagine. At that moment he was more than satisfied with his positive reaction. Besides speaking about it would completely jeopardize the situation, something that Kyoya desired the least. The newspapers, news channels were all about the secret relationship of the couple and their upcoming wedding. Most journalists soon got greatly disappointed that it was virtually impossible to take photos of the Ootori and his bride. They were never seen together. The rare times they would come out of the school to go home, Kyoya's bodyguards were making sure to cover all the angles that would result in very enchanting photographs if taken from.

"No wonder they managed to stay in shadows all this time," the angered journalists were complaining.

Haruhi's father Ranka-san was more than enthusiastic and happy about the marriage news. He really expressed his wishes to see Haruhi in an extravagant wedding dress but the idea of any over the top dress got brushed off by Haruhi immediately.

"We will keep as low profile as possible," she said, "I want something simple, anyways looks are not important and I don't want to waste ton's of money on a dress that I will wear only once".

Everything was already too overwhelming for her. She didn't expect there would be this much fuss over a wedding.

"What did I get myself into?" she sighed.

The book that she was reading fell off her hands when the sudden buzzing of her cellphone was heard from her pocket. She quickly took it out and was already going to decline the call when she realized; it was Kyoya. She looked at the screen for a moment and then answered.

"Hi Kyoya-senpai!" she said in her warm, clean voice

"Haruhi, I have to have a very important conversation with you," he paused and then spoke again in a lower voice. "You know what about."

"Did something happen senpai?" she asked agitated, rubbing her fingers over the rims of the phone.

"Tomorrow I will wait for you in the 2nd library room after the club," he said quickly.

"I will come. I am concerned though, did something happen?" she insisted.

"It is about that night in Okinawa," Kyoya answered reluctantly.

Haruhi froze, she kept silent for a moment swallowing the thickness in her throat.

"Haruhi?" Kyoya called.

"I understand senpai, see you tomorrow," she mumbled.

Haruhi hung up the phone. That is how it started. In Okinawa, in the beach house, in the room she accidentally entered. Even the memory of it was scary. Haruhi still couldn't remove the unthinkable images of that night out of her mind.
