Chapter Eight: A Matter Of Introductions

"Dadadaaa."

"Kyoichi...that's not daddy. That's uncle Taka..." Haruhi pleaded to her child, though she knew it was hopeless. Once he learned something, there was nothing she could do to make him unlearn it. She sighed. Now Takashi would get upset with her. He would probably think that she was teaching him that. She buried her face in her hands and she took a deep breath.

"Haru-chan?" Mitsukuni asked her concerned. "Are you okay?"

"What will Takashi say when he hears that, I mean, he spends so much time with Kyoichi...he was bound to think he was the 'daddy'." she worried. "What am I going to do?"

"I don't think Taka-chan will get mad." Mitsukuni said. "He loves Kyo-chan. We all do...I don't think he'll be mad at all Haru-chan... he might be a bit shocked at first, but he'll be happy I think."

"Why would he be happy, Mitsukuni?" Haruhi asked. "He's not the father..."

"Yes...but Kyoya was horrible, and Takashi cares for both you and Kyoichi. I know he loves him as if he was his father...at least...that is how I see it." Mitsukuni said. "Just tell him when he gets home. I think you should be the one to tell him, don't let him hear Kyoichi say it first."

"Yeah..." Haruhi said. "Yes. I'll tell him after we get back from the bar on Sunday..."

"Good. Oh oh, I set out the movie, so put it in. I'll put the baby to sleep for you." Mitsukuni said with a grin. "I picked a good one this time."

With that, he bounded out of the room. Haruhi gave another sigh before putting the DVD in the player. She sped past the commercials and as her friend reentered the room, hit play.

They watched a comedy about two men in their thirty's whose parents had gotten married, and moved in together. Since the men lived with their respective parents, they went with them. It was a very funny movie, and Haruhi knew why Mitsukuni had picked it. He wanted her to relax and have some fun. It seemed like she wasn't getting enough of it lately.

Mitsukuni watched Haruhi as she struggled to get comfortable and before long she had fallen asleep on the couch. He turned off the movie and covered her with a blanket. She was muttering under her breath about the too soft couch and how she much preferred it when it wasn't so soft. Then she said something about an earthy smell, and Mitsukuni smiled to himself as he left the room.

The rest of the week went by relatively fast in Mitsukuni's opinion, though he heard complaints from Haruhi about how slowly it was progressing. The week was at it's end at last, however, and she was looking forward to the night out.

The lady who was going to be watching Kyoichi had been given precise instructions on his feeding habits, and when he should be in bed. As well as both Haruhi's, Mitsukuni's and Takashi's phone numbers in case of emergency. After being assured that the baby would be fine, the pair left to meet their friends.

The limo pulled up to the bar, and both Haruhi and Mitsukuni exited the vehicle. As they entered the building, their attention was drawn to the boisterous crowd in the back of the pub. Haruhi sighed and made her way over when she heard her name.

"Haruhi!" Kaorie called from across the room. "Over here!"

Haruhi turned and smiled as she spotted her coworker. She waved her over and hugged her with a smile. "Hey. I'm glad you came. My friends want to meet you."

"Well good, cause I've been dying to meet them."

She led her red haired friend to the group, after warning her to stand back for a minute.

"Why would I need to stand back...they're just your friends right?"

Her question was answered with Tamaki's happy yell of, "Haruhi!" she stiffened for the impact, but still had to catch herself as the actual crash took place. "My darling daughter how I have missed you! You shouldn't let those mean cousins keep you from your father! It's absolutely appalling! They must be keeping you all to themselves out of spite!"

"Hey boss,"

"Let us hug Haruhi too!"

"Yeah, you're not the only one,"

"Who misses her you know!" the twins chimed together.

Tamaki just hugged her harder. "Never you dastardly twins! You doppelgangers! I will never let my daughter consort with the likes of you!"

"Now that's not very fair is it Hikaru?"

"Not at all Kaoru! I think,"

"That the boss is hogging Haruhi,"

"For his own sadistic pleasures don't you?" finished Hikaru.

"I believe so Hikaru...so what should we do about it?"

"Maybe Mori-senpai could do something about it..."

"Fools! You think that Mori-senpai could stop me from spending quality time with my beloved daughter?" Tamaki declared while still holding tightly to Haruhi. Kaorie looked on in vague amusement. Well she had one thing right, they were amusing.

"Well...maybe not..." said Hikaru.

"But Hunny-senpai could."

"Lets tell him shall we brother?"

"Yes lets! Oh Hunny-senpai!" Kaoru sang happily.

"No! Not the mighty Hunny-senpai!" Tamaki wailed in horror. "You cheats! You fiends! You-"

"Tamaki let go of me now." Haruhi said with anger in her tone. "This is ceasing to amuse me."

"No! Haruhi how could you! To your own father!"

"You're not my father, how many times do I have to tell you? Now let go or I really will let them get Mitsukuni."

Tamaki's arms dropped then, defeated. Haruhi breathed a sigh of relief before two more sets of arms wrapped around her. They rubbed their cheeks against hers affectionately.

"Haruhi!" Hikaru asked.

"Did you miss us?" asked Kaoru.

"Not particularity." she said in a bored tone.

"Awe. That is no way for our toy to behave!" Hikaru said teasingly.

"Yeah, you're right brother." said Kaoru.

As they continued to maul her, Kaorie was standing apart from them, not knowing how to separate her friend from their iron clad grips. Just then, the door opened and a tall figure walked in. Haruhi caught sight of him and called out, "Takashi! Help please!"

Kaorie looked behind her as the tall man rushed over in the blink of an eye and Haruhi was lifted from the fray, and perched on his shoulder instantly.

"Thanks Takashi." she said with a smile.

The man looked up at her with his gray eyes, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Ah."

When the bickering between the Twins and Tamaki had subsided, Haruhi cleared her throat.

"Guys?" she said as they sat in the chairs. "I'd like to introduce you to my friend, and colleague, Honda Kaorie. Kaorie, these are my friends." she pointed to them in turn.

"That annoying tall blond over there, is Suoh Tamaki. The short blond one I came in here with is Haninozuka Mitsukuni. Those irritable twins over there are Hitachin Hikaru, and Kaoru." she pointed to them in turn. "And this is Morinozuka Takashi." she gestured to the man currently holding her on his shoulder.

"P-Pleasure." she stammered. "Haruhi's told me all about you guys." she said.

"Really?" Tamaki asked her as he stood and strode to her side quickly. He knelt on his knee and produced a red rose from seemingly out of nowhere, and offered it to her. "My dear, I am hard pressed to find a rose as beautiful as you are..."

Kaorie blushed a bit before accepting the rose. "Ah...You're the one who didn't know Haruhi was a girl until the very end aren't you?"

Tamaki looked at her with a shocked and hurt expression on his face. Suddenly a shadow flitted across his features and he promptly ran to a dark corner of the room and began to poke at his portable mushroom garden.

"Uh...I'm...sorry?" Kaorie said with a squeak.

She suddenly felt two pairs of arms drape over her shoulders. She jumped and looked to the men on either side of her.

"Anyone who can make the boss retreat," Hikaru said with a grin.

"Is okay in our books! Welcome to the group!" Kaoru finished.

"Thanks...?" she said embarrassed at the attention she was receiving.

She turned to Haruhi with a questioning look in her eyes.

"You get used to it." Haruhi said with a smile.

Soon, Kaorie had gotten used to Haruhi's friends personalities, and the group began to have a good time. She, like Haruhi, could tell the twins apart in just a matter of hours, and no matter how many shots she had, no matter how many times they switched and ran around each other, she still guessed who was Hikaru, and who was Kaoru. She like Haruhi, had surmised that from their personalities, and even their voices. Hikaru's was a bit more mature sounding, and Kaoru's was slightly more mischievous.

Haruhi downed another shot of tequila with Tamaki and Hikaru, while Takashi and Mitsukuni were drinking jello shots at the next table. Kaoru and Kaorie were sipping their drinks, bourbon and Captain Morgan respectively, while talking about the new Hitachin line that would be revealed to the general public later in the month, and Kaoru had offered for Kaorie to model his creations.

"You see, this particular line is for the typical business woman, both comfortable and modest, while being both sleek and stylish." he was telling her. "You have just the look I need for it. If you're interested, we could set a time, and meet up for lunch? Figure out where to go from there?" he asked her.

Kaorie smiled. "That sounds like fun. I think I'll give it a shot." she said with a smile. They raised their glasses. "To a wonderful business relationship!" she said with a wide grin spreading over her face, which was slightly flushed from the abundance of alcohol she had consumed.

They clinked their glassed and took deep gulps of the liquid.

Haruhi was slightly tipsy when she left Tamaki and Hikaru to their battle of who could out drink the other. She went to the bar. "Can I get a long island please?" she asked.

"Make that two." she heard.

Turning she saw Takashi standing behind her with a looseness about him. He sat beside her, leaned his elbow on the counter and rested his chin in his hand. "Having fun Haruhi?" he asked.

"Yeah, how about you?" she asked.

"M'good." he replied. "Mitsukuni passed out after his fifth jello shot." he informed her with a wide smile.

"Yeah...though that is the only alcohol he can consume right? With the jello?" she said with a smile.

"Yeah." Takashi said. "So Mitsukuni told me that you haven't been sleeping well lately?" he asked her, concerned.

"Yeah, it's weird...usually I fall asleep, I think, because of the combination of the movie and the couch...but for the last week, when I tried to sleep on the couch, it wasn't working...I don't get it."

"Hm...I haven't been sleeping either." he told her. "When I told Mitsukuni he just said that we have the same sleeping problem...though I fail to see what that could be."

The two sat and drank their teas in companionable silence. After another tea, Haruhi blurted out, "What do you think of Kyoichi?"

He looked at her as he pondered his answer. He decided on the absolute truth, he would deal with her anger after they were sober. "I love the boy. He's like a son...I wish he was."

Haruhi smiled through her glass. "He loves you too Takashi."

"He's a baby." he responded.

"He called your picture Dada." she informed him, whilst slurring her words. "Would you wanna be?"

Takashi felt a warmth grow in his chest. "He...he said that." he asked.

"Mm-hmm. Mitsukuni tried getting him to say Mama but he screamed Dada and grabbed at your picture...he thinks your his daddy..." she said with a worried look. "You aren't mad at me?"

"No." he stood. "Lets dance."

Haruhi smiled at the offer, took his hand and let him lead her drunken self to the dance floor. An upbeat song was playing and Haruhi tried to keep up with Takashi as they stumbled and attempted to dance to it. The others had gotten into the fun as well and soon the dance floor was overrun with drunken ex host members.

After a few more fast songs, a slower one clicked on. When Takashi went to move off the floor, Haruhi said, "Oh no you don't mister...you asked me to dance, so you can't leave." she giggled.

Takashi felt the warm feeling again as Haruhi hugged herself to him. They swayed together as the song played and he felt her fingers slide into his hair, playing with the strands.

He let his own hands wander a bit, running down her back, and coming to rest on her butt. He was prepared to remove then when Haruhi looked up at him. He soon found himself drowning in her caramel gaze. He noted that her eyes kept glancing at his mouth. So, with that in mind he slowly lowered his face to hers. He paused just before their lips touched. He wanted to make sure she was okay with the kiss he was dying to give her.

Haruhi's eyes dropped to his lips as they looked at each other. When he lowered his lips, she felt her heart beating roughly in her chest as she stood on her toes and pressed her mouth to his.
