Hello there, wonderful people. I hope you all enjoyed your holiday!

Please continue on with the story

September

"So, Mori, is it true that there is someone special to you?" One of Mori's fan girls looked at him with love sick eyes. "Yeah.." The squeals had been unbearable for the past few weeks since the word slipped that Mori had a significant other. The funny thing is that no one knew it was Natsumi. "Will you tell us about her?" The stoic male blushed lightly and Honey intervened. "Takashi might not want to tell anyone, he gets jealous." Natsumi laughed at Takashi's expression of shock and feverish head shaking while the girls cooed. Honey winked at the taller male, most likely exacting revenge. 'Mitsukuni, why?'

"So, do you think they'll ever find out who it is?" Hikaru asked his other half. "The real question is, how will they react when they find out who it is" Kaoru watched Natsumi from the corner of his eye. "Do you think they'd go so far as to try and split them?" Hikaru laughed. "Please, Kaoru. Our guest are surely more civilized than that! You seen how they gushed at the thought of Mori-Sempai having a girl friend" Kaoru leaned back in his chair. "I hope you're right."

Natsumi's P.O.V.

I looked over towards Takashi who was cleaning Honey-Sempai's icing covered face. "Hi Natsumi! Do you want to hold Usa-Chan?" I shrugged and held the bunny to my chest. Honey smiled brightly and leapt up into my arms. "You're so cute! No wonder Takashi likes you so much!" Takashi smiled at the two of us, an unreadable look in his eyes. "So, Tamaki, did you like observing the love birds at lunch today?" Kyoya snuck up behind Tamaki, rubbing his shoulders. "Wha- wha but I ne-do" Tamaki started to ramble in an unrecognizable language. "Kyoya- Sempai, what's happening?" Kaoru asked. The prince of darkness chuckled. "He is either nervous or channeling a demon. We will never know." Kyoya chuckled as Tamaki flustered and proceeded to leave for the couch, planning to sleep off his anxiety.

I smiled at the sleeping host king and looked to the two cousins. "Ready to leave?" They nodded, Honey clinging to his usa-chan and climbing up Takashi's shoulders. Takashi snaked his hand around my waist. He hadn't showed much affection to me until just a few days ago. It's been quite nice. However, Takashi seems to be acting more as the child than Honey- Sempai. "Natsu-chan, are you going to Takashi's tonight?" I nodded, flipping through my bag for my phone. "You know, you never told me why I should come over." I looked up at Takashi menacingly, trying to strike fear in him. "Cute" he patted my head, in turn crushing my dreams of being scary.

"Takashi wants his family to meet you! Satoshi wants to meet you too." Fear ran through me at the mention of meeting people. "u-um… Satoshi? Isn't that your little brother from the middle school?" He nodded and opened the door to exit the school. "Satoshi-kun has been wanting to meet you for a while now." Honey chirped in, climbing off of Takashi's shoulders. "Isn't that right, Takashi?" He nodded. The car drove around to the waiting students. Takashi opened the door and ushered his two companions inside.

Second floor balcony

"Wow, so it's Kobayashi! Don't you think they make a great couple, don't you think so, Ichiro?" The male in question scoffed at his sister. "You must be joking. The only thing that girl has going for her is her back side. She's an airhead with no personality." The girl turned to Ichiro. "Kobayashi is really a great person. Have you even heard of the power her family has? She's going to run her father's business one day, don't insult her!" He turned to the angry brunette in front of him. "Kiku, you can't be serious." Fuming with anger, she turned to leave the boy stranded. "I'll see you at home. Hopefully you're attitude will be cleaned up by then." Ichiro was stunned by the words of his younger sister. "How can she be happy for them? Morinozuka turned her down without saying a word, and she's happy for him." Ichiro pushed the hazel colored hair from his face. "She'll get what's coming to her. Morinozuka will see that Kiku was his chance at a perfect girl." The heir of the Yoshida shipping enterprise began to make his way to the exit and hopefully blow off some steam. He hated to see his kid sister so upset with him, especially since he was just trying to help.

Kobayashi Residence

"I'm glad you came home with me Takashi. My father has been wanting to meet you for quite some time." Whilst nodding his head, the head of the household pulled into the driveway. "Natsumi, my darling. How are you?" Her father walked up to her, completely ignoring the other person next to his child. "I'm great, and you?" She smiled as her father's line of vision finally rested on Takashi. "Who is this and why did you bring him here?" Anger seemed to pour out of her father's words as he stared at the Morinozuka heir. "This is Takashi Morinozuka. Remember? You told me you wanted to meet him." The man's expression softened as he outstretched his hand.

"Gary Kobayashi. I hope your intentions with my daughter are not ill mannered." Gary squeezed the boy's hand a bit too tightly, causing him to wince. "Daddy, don't hurt him." He released the boy's hand. "He isn't a sissy boy, so I won't send him running… yet. Don't think that because you come from a family of kendo experts that I will willingly give my daughter away." Takashi bowed slightly. "I wouldn't expect you to, sir." Gary's expression didn't soften, but became more stern. "Natsumi, please go change. You're meeting this boy's parents tonight I assume?" She nodded and ran inside to change quickly. 'Please don't hate him' she thought to herself.

Blue or black, those were the decisions she had narrowed down to. Knowing she couldn't waste much time, she turned to her ultimate tool of decision making. Eenie meenie miney moe. She closed her eyes and moved her hands frantically, but unknown to her, she was being watched. Gary smiled at the spectacle his daughter was putting on. "The black one. You look best in it." Natsumi blushed and shut her door. "Father, you know it's not okay to spy on me while I'm going through my wardrobe!" He chuckled and walked down the hallway to change into his gi, and return to the living room to keep his daughter's interest company.

"So, what all do you know about my daughter?" Takashi looked up to meet Natsumi's father's gaze. "She enjoys painting. Her current rank in karate is a brown belt. Math is her worst subject, but she's fantastic at everything else…" He smiled and continued. "You're the man she talks about the most. I understand why she admires you so much." Gary smiled at Takashi and sat in the chair adjacent his visitor. Pushing the black hair back, he revealed crystal blue eyes. "Don't think buttering me up will make me like you. I did a bit of research, and learned you have a black belt in karate, yes?" Takashi nodded, much to the man's amusement. "If you ever want to take her out, you must spar with me first. For each time you win, you can take her out. But if I win, you'll obey my every whim for the entire day. Do we have an understanding between us?" Takashi nodded again, rising to his feet. "So, I'm assuming you want to spar?" Gary laughed and shook his head. "Next time. You're eager, I like that."

Natsumi rushed down the stairs, nearly tripping in the narrow heels. "You look lovely darling, don't you agree, Mori?" He agreed, however other thoughts crossed his mind. "Don't stare at her like that, I can always keep her here for tonight. A dark aura ran off the 6'3" male, chilling the two children in his presence. "Daddy, please be nice. I wish to leave now, being late would give his family the wrong impression." Gary nodded as he watched the two leave, hand in hand. It brought him back to his days as a teenager. He could never be too careful with Natsumi around boys, since he was one himself. He refused to shrug it off, regardless of how refined the boy was. He refused to let go of his little girl. A father always has to watch out for his little girl, right?

Yes, cliffhangers are good sometimes! In this scenario, it gives the story something to roll with. I want to state the fact that Natsumi's father has a bit of German in him (I based him off my friends father to be completely honest *_* he is a really nice guy)
ANYWAY I hope you enjoyed this chapter

Later Taters!
