Kindred Spirit (Mori x OC)

Seventeen

"Oi oi, we were wondering what sort of hotshot rented the log mansion, it's just the group of high schoolers."

She recognized this group from the BBQ area, the college age group made up of five males. They recognized her almost as soon as she left the cabin, and called out to her.

"Sorry, I hope you weren't going for it too! We didn't meant to ruin any plans for your group," she apologized.

"Are you stupid? Regular people can't afford that cabin! Did daddy give you money? You a rich bitch or something?!" One of them said.

Hanabi tightened her hold on her bag straps, determined to use it as a weapon if she needed to. They didn't seem aggressive at first, but now she was sure they were trying to cause trouble.

"Our situations may be different, but we all came here to enjoy the camp grounds. I'd appreciate it if you would refrain from insulting me."

"What's with that high and mighty attitude, little girl? You think you're better than us?!" The man made a grab for her arm, but she quickly grabbed his first and pulled, teetering him off balance. She slammed her bag into his face, sending him sprawling into the dirt.

"You bitch!"

The others reached out, intending to grab her, but she turned and ran. No way she can fight 5 men! She made it just a few steps before something rushed past her, blowing her hair back with the wind.

She turned around to see Takashi stopping their advance. She sighed in relief, knowing that she was safe.

"Hanabi," she heard the twins. She walked over to them, seeing Tamaki and Kyoya as well.

"I see you had the sense to run away this time," the shadow king said.

"I'm the only one that needed saving this time," Hanabi pointed out. "Besides, Takashi fits the 'Knight in Shining Armor' role a lot more, doesn't he?" Hanabi swooned. Takashi stood over the 5 men who were writhing around in pain.

The Ootori private police force were on the scene within minutes to transfer them over to the police. "We're glad you are unharmed, Mrs. Hanabi."

She stumbled a bit, not expecting the armed men to show such concern for her. "Oh, uhm. Thank you for your service," she bowed. She watched them depart by helicopter, before turning to Kyoya with an eyebrow raised.

He turned to walk back into the cabin, "did you forget that you work with my family? Of course they know you."

"...right." Hanabi turned to Takashi, "you saved me again. Thank you," she smiled.

"You're welcome." He began heading into the cabin as well, making Tamaki look at the twins in slight panic.

"Hanabi," Hikaru started. "Are you still going into the forest?"

"What if you run into trouble again?" Kaoru added.

Mori paused.

"Actually...I was gonna head back in too. I'm pretty tired," she admitted, causing Mori to sigh in relief. Hanabi followed the others into the cabin, and went straight into her room.

"What now, boss?"

Tamaki only thought for a little bit, "we still have tomorrow night. We'll continue the plan then."

Mori relaxed back into his pillows, resuming his position before he was interrupted. He was thinking about what he overheard from the baths. She probably had very strong feelings for someone, even if she was too dense to figure it out. The question is, who?

Me. He thought. Then he shook his head rapidly, he can't get ahead of himself like that. The person she likes, she's sure they'll reject her. He can't remember giving any sort of signals like that. But if she has feelings for someone else, he can't get in her way, lest he destroy her happiness. He didn't want that at all.
