Does A River Truly End? (A OHSHC Takashi Morinozuka Love Story)

Back To The Start

+~~~Haruhi's POV~~~+

I don't fully understand it, how someone could forget just one part of an equation. Mori was so important to her and it didn't make sense. The doctor told us that this is really common and that since he brought about such strong emotions to her before her brain blocked it out, it was dangerous for her. I don't really know much about what happened before the accident, but maybe its for the best. Maybe her and Mori were just a toxic love and this was the only way for them both to move on. All I know is that after Tamaki dropped River off, he came to my apartment. Luckily my Dad wasn't home because as soon as I answered the door I was attacked with his lips on mine. But I pushed him away, I wasn't ready to be a rebound. Him and River had a lot of past together, and he just needed a distraction. I could see in his eyes that he missed her already and that it would take him a while. I'm willing to wait for him though, I do like him. But I want to wait to see that after his first impulses are gone if he still feels the same. Right now nothing seems quite fair to any of us really, the reality of everything is finally starting to set in. The fact that River wont be the same person we knew for a while, we basically have to start over.

"Hey Haruhi?" I heard a voice say to me, muffled slightly by my thoughts. I turned seeing that it was Hikaru who spoke.

"Uh yeah, what do you need?" I asked, things hadn't been the same since we went on a date. He was sweet to me, yeah, but I just can't be with him. I know that he really likes me, he's so protective. I wish that there was a way for me to love him, but Tamaki holds my heart.

"How do you feel about the whole River thing? I mean now about River because it doesn't really affect us but, I know that you and Tamaki have a thing going on." He stated sadly, I looked up at him and he continued. "I respect the fact that you love him and all that, I just wanted to see if you were okay. Even though we aren't together and probably never will be, I have to learn to cope with that. Though I do still care and you can talk to me if you need to, you don't have to do this alone you know." He said to me, not making eye contact. His eyes were locked on a fixed point on the wall of Music Room #3. There was nothing interesting about the wall, and I knew he was tense. Hikaru was never really straightforward about his true feelings and so he must really mean it.

"Thank you." I replied wrapping my arms around his slender frame. I felt his muscles tighten at this, but he loosened up and draped his long arms around me. The embrace was comfortable and warm, and I wish it could have lasted longer. Though all to soon I heard the knob turn. We separated and I offered Hikaru a small smile, that he gratefully returned. He the decided to take his leave, heading out of the room. Though just as he was about to leave I asked quietly "Hikaru I think I need to talk about this now, or else I never will." And with that he turned around and began making his way back over to me. He sat on the floor with his legs crossed and patted the floor across from him, signaling for me to join him. I mimicked his position and began to let my cares go.

+~~~Kyoya's POV~~~+

It truly is quite a shame. River was good for the club, and now it's just a pain having her around. She has Tamaki wrapped around her finger and she doesn't even realize it. We share many of the same views yet, we were never close. I could have been because of her hurting Tamaki or just the mystery surrounding her, though that should have been attracting to me. Mystery has always always surrounded me and I find it alluring when it's surrounds another, but yet, River was an exception. Don't ask me why because I myself could not explain it, just something about her seemed, lost. Even more so now that this has occurred. Something about her seemed to just always be questioning everything around her, analyzing and coming to conclusions.  Even though all of are suffering, in reality she is the one most distressed. In these types of situations the victim usually ends up with some sort of trauma, especially if not all of their memory returns. Having only partial memory wouldn't make any sense, for example. If River were to remember when Mori had rejected her, but didn't remember the circumstances around the incident it would just make her mind confused and we may never get her back. So we just need to let time run it's course and hopefully everything will go exactly as before, but Mori can actually be with her.

 +~~~Kaoru's POV~~~+

River and I didn't talk all that much, but I wish we had. I just sort of stayed in the background, even when Hikaru had tried to get us closer to her I just didn't see the point. She was in love with the boss and usually the people who fall for him are obsessive and expect way too much from people. Soon though, I realized that wasn't how River was. She tried to plan out everything how she wanted it, but in the end it never really ended out that way. I envy Tamaki and Mori, being able to hold her in their arms. For the longest time I guess I couldn't admit it but I have started to fall in love with her. The way that she holds herself, and the way that she always comes off as poise and sophisticated. Though everybody has something to hide, and for her I think she sees emotion as a vulnerability. I'm not even sure if any of us really know who she is, we haven't even known her that long. Everything could turn around and she could be a different person. Although it seems to me, the only person who knows the real her is Tamaki. I could feel the strength in their bond ever since they recognized each other, and it wasn't really fair. Everybody knows that when it all comes down to something, having history with a person always wins. So I guess I'll never even get a chance.
