Chapter 9 - Autumn Interlude

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club it rightfully belongs to Bisco Hatori. I only claim ownership of Mayu Ishikawa (a.k.a. Bun Bun) and the Ishikawa Family. This story is inspired by Desire Climax and Kaichou-wa Maid-Sama. Happy Thanksgiving (Sorry for the wait but my husband and I have just bought a new car. For those of you that don't know, it takes a lot of time and research to get the car you want in the color you want for the price you want but we got it! Of course it's a Subaru WRX in World Rally Blue just another thing that comes out of Japan that's great!)

Chapter 9 - Autumn Interlude

The time was drawing closer to the Autumn Dinner that Kairi had told them about but it was still a few weeks away, in the mean time, she was sitting at a table in a restaurant, across from Takashi. She blinked a few times at him, "Huh? You want to tell them?" He nodded, she smiled warmly, she reached across the table to squeeze his hand, "I'm happy Taka. Whether you want to tell them or not is up to you but I'm glad that you told me." Mori nodded once more and she smiled, "Just let me know what I need to wear to give a good first impression." He chuckled quietly while their food arrived, it was simple curry but Mayu enjoyed it, and Mori enjoyed watching her eat it. When they finished, he paid, and they left the establishment, "Can I tell you something Taka?" He nodded as she walked towards the park where her sisters had confronted her. The large tree was there, she approached it, placed her hand on it, and smiled. "I..." She shook her head, she put her back against the tree, and took in a deep breath while Mori watched her, "I have a temper, Taka."

"We all have tempers."

She shook her head, "Not that kind of temper. It's what Aran said, when I hit my sisters with the broom; I snapped. I let my...inner wolf out when I normally keep it chained." Mori took a few steps closer to her while her face was looking at the ground, "I can feel it when it wants to break free and I'm not sure how to control it because it's so brief. Rosette cut my cheek and I did the same to her but not before scaring the wits out of her...I remember what I did to them in the past, when I glare at them, they automatically know that the animal will be unleashed so...I wanted to warn you." When she looked up, Takashi was standing before her, he wore a warm smile. "What?"

"Your wolf will never hurt me Snowbelle."

"How can you be sure?"

"Even if it did, I would still be with you."

"Why?"

He leaned down so that his forehead touched hers and he whispered, "Because I can't bear to be parted from you."

She smiled, "You're sweet Taka. I feel the same way."

"It's true. When I'm home, I stare up at the ceiling and I only think of you. My thoughts are filled with nothing but you and how I can make you happier."

"I'm always happy with you Taka."

"I want to make you happy even when I'm not around."

"Thank you Taka. You, too, are my world."

He smiled, moved his face closer to hers, brought up his hand to cup her cheek, and gently placed his lips on her own satiny ones. He felt her tense up sightly but she relaxed seconds later, it was light and brief as he pulled away. Mori whispered, "I care for you a lot Snowbelle." He drew back a little to see her, Mayu's face was pink, and her breathing irratic but she was smiling. Immediately she embraced him, he returned the gesture, and she mumbled something. "Hm?"

Mayu leaned back to look up at him sheepishly, "I care for you a lot too Taka." He nodded, rubbed her back, and she said, "Come to my place. You can teach me to defend myself." Mori chuckled as they parted, she wrapped her gloved hand around his, and they sauntered out of the park but not before she placed her fingers against her lips then onto the tree's trunk. They were walking through the streets when someone on the opposite side spotted them, there was a gasp from the male, but the female smiled.
