A\N hey people, I just want to give yet another shout-out to the wonderful KinKitsune01 for continuously making me burst into random screams and yells with her reviews! Seriously, I love you like mad! Also, if people think that last chapter was a little over-dramatic, sorry! I never have a plan, I just sit and start writing. I had no idea I was going to do the whole "Yakusa" thing at first lol.
Disclaimer: Hatori Bisco will surrender, one day…
Chapter 9
Still Kaoru's POV
On the way to the mansion, I was frantically asking questions, which everyone had to reassure me for.
"What if she's given up and doesn't like me anymore?"
"What if she hates me now?"
"What if she left that note but actually is in America or something?"
"What if…"
"This two hour drive is going to feel like forever…" Hikaru complained.
"Do you think it's too late to just put this lovesick maniac in another car?" Even Haruhi was getting annoyed.
"Kaoru." Tono faced me. "She loves you. She even went so far as to make a huge banner on a freakin' roof. So stop bothering my precious daughter!"
I sighed, and shut up. Leave it to Tono to make something so serious into something nonsensical with the last sentence. In my head thoughts kept running through my head, mostly about Yaku. If that bastard had made a move on Saki or somehow ended up with her he would pay. I would kill him. She was freakin' mine. At least, she was in my head.
"We're here!" Hunny shouted. I felt like throwing up.
As we pushed open the door, the maids all bowed down and greeted us.
"Welcome guests. We will alert the young master you are here."
"Kyouya, did you tell Yaku…?" I asked nervously.
"I alerted the house."
"What? He'll definitely hide Saki or something!"
"Don't worry, I only told his father. He has no idea."
I was about to shout in his face when a pajama-clad Yaku came down the stairs. He scowled angrily when he saw me.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"I have business with one of your workers." I replied coolly.
"Sorry, I won't let Saki see you. She belongs to me now."
"Isn't it her choice?" a kind old voice interrupted.
"Sorry young master, but she is my daughter, even if only by adopting. As her mother I would like you to consider her feelings first." She bowed deeply and the stepped back into the lines.
"You are also mine, and I did not permit you to speak!" Yaku bellowed angrily. "This is ridiculous, I am not bringing Saki-"
"Yes, young master?" Saki's voice interrupted. I spun around, trying to find her. Yaku only laughed at me.
"Saki, stay where you are." He spoke into a square box that emitted noises. So, she was here in this house, and even in hearing distance. "Kaoru, I am in no hurry to give up one of my maids. You may go back now."
"No way am I going back without her." I stared angrily.
"You've already broken her. She's much better off with me."
"How so?"
"I'm rich, I'm good looking, and I can at least take a punch from a girl."
"Her punch is very strong." I defended.
"Che. You're just a wimp." Yaku crossed his arms around his chest.
"That only means you got your girl stolen by a wimp."
"Shut up. Just get out!" He got flustered. I tried again.
"She would rather date a pathetic wimp like me than someone like you!" I screamed as a few butlers started pushing against me and the rest of us. We pushed back, but it was hard.
"Prove it, then." He raised his walkie-talkie. "Saki, would you like to go home with Kaoru and his little posse?" My throat went dry and I prayed.
"Kaoru? Kaoru's there?" Her voice sounded so clear, so innocent.
"Don't play dumb. Answer my question."
"No, I don't want to go home with him." Her voice hit me like ten pound blocks. I staggered back with shock. Yaku cackled into his damn walkie-talkie.
"And why so, darling?"
"Because I don't want to be with him. I finally realized that the one I really want to be is with you, honey." She giggled, and sounded so genuinely happy. I thought that right then and there the ground was going to open up and send me to hell. As they exchanged more sappy sayings, I saw everything in front of me shatter. The night we danced, the day I first saw her, everything lay at the bottom of my feet in pieces. I felt Tono grab my shoulder.
"Let's go home." I nodded, not really knowing what to do anymore. I didn't talk in the car. I just sat there, bewildered. This wasn't supposed to happen. I suddenly realized something.
"Hey Tono," I asked absentmindedly.
"Yeah?"
"You know that saying, 'if you really love something, let it free'?"
"Sure."
"To hell with that. Turn the shitty car around. I'm going to freakin' climb the drainpipes and get her back. Love Yaku? Yeah right. No one can love someone like that. It was obviously a set-up. Saki doesn't call anyone 'honey'. I said, TURN THE FREAKIN' CAR AROUND!!!" The car stopped at a stop sign. I pushed open the door and tried to wrestle from Hikaru's grip.
"Don't go back, bro. Don't get hurt again, it'll break you."
"I'm going! You can't stop me!" I struggled.
"Don't go!" He pulled me back.
"Why-" I was interrupted by something banging inside the trunk. We opened it to find Saki in a maid costume grasping a walkie-talkie.
"What-" I was cut off again.
"Do you know how long it took to hack into your car and then squeeze into here? It's freakin' hot in here not to mention I'm wearing a ridiculous maid costume! I didn't know these things still existed! It took me forever to get in here and I still had to whisper sweet nothings into that bastard's ear with this stupid walkie-talkie! Finally, when I finally escape, you decide to go back? What the crap are you talking about? He'll find out I'm gone any minute now! Get back into the freakin' car and speed up! Did you not hear me? SPEED UP!"
We all just stared at her for the entire rant. At the last sentence I leapt back into the car and pulled everyone back in. I gave the driver a rather urged notice and we rode as fast as we could all the way back to Ouran.
We rose up the trunk and helped Saki get out without hurting her newly out-of-cast arm too much. As soon as she got out she hugged me tightly.
"It took you long enough to crack the code. Thanks for offering to climb the drainpipes for me." She whispered.
"Saki." I pulled her away and looked into her beautiful eyes. "I love you. But please get out of that maid costume. It had the scent of that bastard Yaku's house on it." We all laughed and she went inside to change into one of the clothes she had brought with her in a little suitcase. When she came out, we hugged again.
"I can't believe it took you guys so long to come get me! My mom and dad were practically having to tie me down or else I would've gone to get you back myself!"
"That's right, we saw your mom. Where was your dad?"
"He helped me escape into the trunk. We spoke with Yaku's father he agreed to keep my parents, and let me go. He' really a nice man." She smiled at me. "Unlike Yaku."
"So…" Hikaru smiled. "Now that you guys are finally together…"
"Don't you think…" Tono added, "That you guys should do something?"
Back to Saki's POV (finally!)
I blushed. How could they ask something like that? I stammered and stuttered.
"W-w-well, I can give him a kiss on the cheek."
"I'm okay with that." Kaoru smiled at me and I got redder.
"I'm not! That's so boring!" Hikaru whined.
"Too bad." I'm so glad I got the more sensible twin, I thought as I leaned forward. Suddenly Kaoru twisted his head around and held my face while we kissed – for real. After I broke off red as a tomato he winked and high-fived his brother. Haruhi sighed and gave me a pat on the back.
"Saki, my precious flower, you have finally bloomed alongside Kaoru."
"Shut up, Tama-baka." I kicked the idiot in the knee lightly.
After all, I was feeling rather generous that day. But you can't blame me for kicking him. I could've knocked him out like I did with Kaoru. Wait, cross out that last sentence.
I could've knocked him out like I did with my boyfriend.
A/N Yay, a cheesy ending! I didn't add a The End because that's what I want you readers (KinKitsune01) to tell me whether I should keep on going with this story, or just finish it and start a new one. I'm also taking suggestions, so tell me who your favourite Ouran boy is and I'll add an OC pairing. Sorry, I have obsessions with OCs. So, I'm only expecting one vote (Again, from KitKitsune01) *sob*. So any future readers ignore this message and look t see if there are more chapters or the status is "complete". Bye!
