Bitter 1: Haruhi's Bitter Days
Chapter 10: Spilling of the Guts

By the time the car had returned to the house, Akira and Michiko had recovered from the astonishing display they had been privy to. They had really believed and hoped that their nephew had been wrong, but he was so accurate in his description, they had to wonder how Haruhi and Mori put up with it on a daily basis. Akira wondered how his son had not taken matters into his own hands up until this point. Michiko wondered how Haruhi put up with such blatant displays every day. Both of them wondered how the teens did not spill everything about their relationship before now.

Haruhi had been so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she did not realize they had arrived at the house until Mori was shaking her to gain her attention. She looked around and blushed realizing they had reached their destination and it was time to get out of the car, "Sorry Takashi, I guess I was lost to my thoughts."

Mori looked at his girlfriend with a questioning look. He could imagine what had caused her to space out and it worried him that she might be having second thoughts. Getting out of the car, he reached his hand in to help her out and when she had exited, he leaned down and holding back his own feelings whispered in her ear to try to reassure her, "Don't worry, we are in this together." He straightened up and looking down into her face, saw a brilliant smile. The anxiety and worry that he had been feeling moments ago, dissipated.

"Hey are you two coming in or not? I want to hear what happened and our parents will not tell me anything!" Satoshi yelled from the front door breaking the moment between his brother and girlfriend. If it wasn't for the sneaky smile that appeared on his face when he had walked back into the house, you might have thought that the disruption was completely by accident.

Laughing, Mori and Haruhi walked into the house in order to tell everyone what happened with the host club. It was a gathering that definitely left an impression on anyone who was there to witness it. Once they were in the house, they noticed that Hunny was eating cake and Satoshi was pestering him for information, but receiving nothing. Mori's parents were not in the living room, they probably escaped to another part of the house. Chika was sitting as far away from his brother as possible and turned his glare from Hunny to Satoshi. Looking at each other, Mori and Haruhi smiled and walked further into the room, choosing to sit down on the love seat to wait for the questions they knew Satoshi wanted to ask. They knew he would not be appeased until he had answers.

Satoshi looked up and noticed Mori and Haruhi sitting down. "It is about time," he said to himself and turned his attention from his cousin to his brother. "Taka-bro what happened today? Mom and dad won't say anything and Mitsukuni is also keeping quiet. So what happened? The way everyone is keeping their mouths shut makes me think something happened," Satoshi pleaded with his older sibling.

Haruhi stared at the younger man sitting across from her and laughed, "Satoshi nothing really happened. You know how they are."

"I know how they can be, yes, but why is no one telling me what happened. Inquiring minds want to know!" Satoshi said to her.

"Satoshi! Curiosity killed the cat," Chika glared at his friend.

"Yes, but satisfaction brought him back," Satoshi replied at stuck his tongue out at his cousin causing everyone in the room to laugh including a reluctant Chika.

After that display, Mori and Haruhi decided that withholding the information any longer might be Satoshi's downfall and proceeded to tell the two younger teens everything that happened at Haruhi's apartment. By the time they were done explaining everything, Satoshi and Chika were laughing again and Hunny had stopped eating his cake in order to laugh some more. "Mother and father were shocked at the way Tamaki acted. They really thought that Mitsukuni had been exaggerating," Mori said.
