There's a Story Behind Every Smile (Hitachiin Triplets, OHSHC)

Chapter Twenty One

"You saved her Akira. You've already got my blessing." Takuma pulled away, giving a bright red Akira a pat on the shoulder. "Now go enjoy yourself. You've earned it."

That's when the trouble started.

Candy Cane finally put away, Sute managed to drag Annaisha back from the other room and to the table with food. Annaisha rolled her eyes as Sute got a plateful, and looked away to find Akira. However, someone's eyes found them first.

"Ageha-chan, Annaisha-chan, what are you two doing here?" Kaoru said, drawing Hikaru's attention to them both, and then the entire host club's, as well. Both Teru's and Sute's faces went ashen, eyes unable to meet as Teru's eyes teared up and fists clenched. 

"We were invited, just like you were. What I'm wondering is why these twins even like you," Annaisha sassed, shyness disappearing in the presence of her best friend's asses of brothers.

"Well, Ageha? Well?" Teru cracked her neck, taking a step forward before backing away to Takuma. "You lied."

Her words were spit like venom at Sute, or rather Ageha, and she flinched before speaking in her own defense. "And you didn't?" Then her voice raised. "God damn it all, you left me, you fucking bitch! You left me alone with these two bastards! You're nothing but a bad person, leaving and never visiting! You even got a new father! Instead of saving me from mine like you promised!" She breathed heavily, pointing at Teru, who couldn't even move. She had gone into an anxiety attack, and those tears fell as Akira raced to her.

"Imagine if father heard you, Ageha! What would he say?! Do?!" Hikaru yelled at her, and Kyoya and Mori held the blondes back from the unknown family feud.

"He already can hear! And I'll just go home and get fucking hurt and fucking hurt again!" Annaisha moved to grab Ageha, but was unable to. Ageha's attention moved back to Teru, rage overtaking her common sense. "You can say nothing! Fucking nothing! Teru, you left me. You moved to a different country and found a person to love and to take the place of us! Instead of...

"Instead of fixing what we had." Annaisha finally grabbed Ageha, and she clung on to her like she was a teddy bear as she cried for the first time in years.

The twins stood there, confused. As did everyone else.

"I'm sorry..." Teru muttered and looked to Ageha, who was unable to meet her eyes and in tears in Annaisha's arms. "...But I had a job to finish, and... and I thought I could finally save you."

Shaking visibly with blood rushed to her cheeks, Teru finally gave in to the rapid beating of her heart, the heat flash, and her numbness and collapsed into Akira, gone.

Takuma raced to call an ambulance, knowing what would happen when she woke.
