Fall in Love All Over Again

Chapter 19: Reunited

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, but I do own the fan-made characters.

Note: This story will contain new characters with a new plot. The same corky humor will remain. Watch as the next generation of the Ouran Hosts find themselves by finding each other.

Each slip of paper read as follows:

"Dear Receiver,

You are invited to Ouran High School Host Club third music room. It is very important that you attend.

Signed,

Anonymous."

So down the hall they walked, side by side. A pair of identical twins whom hadn't walked these halls in years. Though the way to this place was far from forgotten. This very destination had changed their lives for the better, and in this same magical place, it would happen once again.

They opened the doors together, giving each other a glance, and a smile before doing so. When the doors opened, inside was a room royally decorated, with a sign that said, "Welcome" in big bold letters. Footsteps were heard, revealing a tall blond man who even though many years older, had not aged much physically. A smile spread across his lips, "Hey there doppelgangers." he teased.

Hikaru and Kaoru smiled together in unison, "Hey boss," they echoed, coming closer to him now.

Kaoru looked around the room, it might have been decorated, but it was the same it had always been, "What's this all about?"

The doors opened behind them, and in walked Haruhi, still dressed in her business attire, "Tamaki, why did you want-?" she cut herself off making eye contact with the Hitachiins. She hadn't seen them in years.

"It's been a while, Haruhi." Hikaru smirked.

Haruhi smiled back, "Yeah, it's good to see you both."

"To answer your question," mumbled a voice, as a mysterious shadow king made himself known, walking up beside Tamaki, he pushed up his glasses and revealed his evil smile, "Tamaki has invited all of us here. A get together. Not just us, but with our kids as well. They'll be here soon enough."

Just then Mori walked in with Honey by his side. They were still the same as they had always been, Honey hadn't even grown an inch, and Mori was still a tree, "Hey Haru-chan!" beamed Honey with glee.

"The family is all here." said Tamaki satisfied, "now we wait for the next generation to appear."

"What's this all for Tamaki?" asked Kaoru.

"It's been a long time." answered Tamaki, "too long in fact." he proceeded over to the table to get a glass of water, "I've missed this."

"Hello everyone," greeted Tamotsu who had returned from his trip that morning. His arm was around Emiko's shoulder. They seemed quite smitten with one another.

When Emiko saw her father's questioning gaze, she immediately took a step forward to let Tamotsu's hand fall, "It seems the old host club has been brought back together."

Tamaki grinned at Kyouya and elbowed him teasingly in the ribs, "Hey Kyouya, it looks like we might end up being in-laws."

A cold scowl appeared on Kyouya's face, and he instantly went to grab himself a glass of champagne. Things were already making him stressed out.

"Mom?" asked Haruki, who entered now, with herself wrapped around Kichiro's arm, "I didn't think you'd be here."

Tamaki instantly choked on his water. The twin's stared back at him with their signature Hitachiin smirks, "In-laws, huh boss?" they asked.

Kyouya automatically handed Tamaki a glass of champagne and took a swig of his own, no words exchanged.

"Yes, your father said there was something important going on tonight and that I should be there, so here I am." answered Haruhi finally.

"We're here!" squealed Moru, with Usagi riding piggy back.

"Sorry we're late, we had to close the bakery for mom." said Usagi. Honey ended up running a bakery with his wife, teaching his son not only his love for the martial arts, but also his love of sweets.

Hikaru was getting a bit worried.

Kaoru noticed and placed his hand on his shoulder, "They'll be here."

As if right on cue, Mitsuru and Minoru strolled in last. Side by side, they were holding hands and smiling brightly, "Sorry we're late… we had to make a little pit stop." said Mitsuru. They both looked inwardly over their shoulders, motioning for someone to follow them. It was a brunette, with curly, shoulder length hair, and blue eyes. She was an American woman.

Hikaru's heart stopped. It was his wife. They had met when she came over from the states for a trip. She stared at him with thoughtful eyes. It was like they were meeting for the first time. Hikaru, although he had the same personality as always, had unlike his brother, let his hair grow out. It was always tied back loosely, and somehow made him more mature looking, "It's been awhile." she said with a calm voice.

"There's something I have to say," Hikaru interrupted stepping closer to her, looking deeply into her eyes, "I know I haven't been there for you or the boys. I just thought if I worked hard I co-"

"A little bird told me everything." she said, placing an index finger on his lips. His eyebrow perked, and she looked over his shoulder. He turned to stare into the eyes of his twin brother, and was so thankful for such a person in his life he started to tear up, "Hikaru," she said, and he turned back to her quickly. Slowly putting her arms around him, she rested her head on his chest, "I missed you so much." she murmured.

Holding her tightly, he took in a breath on her hair, "I missed you too."

"That wasn't the pit stop we were talking about." Minoru said holding up an index finger.

The twins parted and stood on either side of the door. Hikaru took a step aside, guiding his wife with him, and that revealed a slender woman, with weary green eyes, long flowing red hair, and a lovely smile. Kaoru and Kichiro literally couldn't breathe, "Mom?" choked Kichiro.

She took a step forward and tilted her head, "You've gotten so big. My beautiful little boy…" tears slid down her cheeks, and before she could take another step closer, Kichiro closed the gap and held onto her for dear life, tears bursting from their ducts. She held him gently, and looked up to see Kaoru coming closer to her. He was now also in tears, so happy to be looking into the eyes of his better half again.

"We missed you." he said, pulling both Kichiro and her into a deep embrace.

"It's been a long time…" she whispered into his ear.

By now just about everyone was moved to the point of secreting tears.

Once everyone calmed down, Tamaki started playing some music and everyone had tagged a partner to dance with. Tamotsu insisted that the first dance Emiko had that night would be with her father. He'd claim the next slow song.

Kichiro swayed back and forth with Haruki snug in his arms, "You seem like you're finally relaxing." she said, moving closer to him, so she could hear his heartbeat.

"Yeah… I can't believe… any of this." he rested his chin on the top of her head and continued dancing, "I love you, Haruki." he whispered.

She blushed deeply, "I love you too."

He placed his lips on her forehead, kissing her gently, he then pulled away, "Will you excuse me for a bit? I want to take a little walk and reflect. It's still, really hard to believe any of this has happened."

"Sure," she nodded, "I need to get my father out of his corner of drunken woe anyway." she said flatly, glancing over at her father.

He walked down the hall, his steps echoing on the walls. He passed some windows that revealed the beautiful moonlight. This moment was a serenity filled sanctuary, and all he wanted was to enjoy it. He was afraid that at any moment he might wake up.

"Kichiro," he swore he heard a familiar voice, though it seemed so far away, like something he hadn't heard in a long time, "I love you Kichiro. I'm so glad… you are happy again." he placed his hand on the glass and looked deeply at his reflection. It finally clicked to him.

"I love you too Hikari." he mumbled, feeling slightly crazy, he looked down at his feet.

"Keep your chin up." she answered, lifting his head up. It was like she was right there beside him once more. "Just remember Kichiro, I'll always be right here beside you." he felt a certain warmth wrap around him, and then all at once, it was gone. He smiled, letting the tears descend upon his cheeks.

"See you later," he murmured, walking further down the hallway.

"Someday, always comes too late or too soon. Someday I'd see her again, but for now I just wanted what I had been given. Yes, someday, when the sun sets, and winter turns to spring, she'll be there, waiting for me. A smile too big for her perfect face, with pigtails in her hair, tiny ringlets and all. Someday…"

Author's notes: It's like the end of an era. It's been a fun ride, but I think this might be the perfect ending for this group of characters. I'm sure I'll have a few people telling me, "No! Please write more of this!" sense I already have a couple doing so, so maybe if there's some popular demand for more chapters, I'll continue to write it. Thanks for reading all, and if you have any questions about the characters feel free to ask. Please review, and let me know what you guys think. Thanks for keeping up with this, it really means a lot to me. =] love to you all!
