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

Issues

The time arose for me to do what was needed. My parents have been discussing pulling mt out of Ouran Academy for quite awhile now. They believe that I only needed 3 years of my high school education to fulfill my duties as the next Sanoka Queen.

To say I missed the host club would be an under statement, even though I've only know them for a short while I became quite attached. I haven't really had much time away from Tamaki, he comes and visits me everyday. But I do miss 2 certain people, their presence in my everyday life. Those people are Takashi Morinozuka and Mitskuni Haninozuka. Those two people helped me meet all of my friends.

"Oh River!" I heard Tamaki call as he entered the mansion. I sighed a bit, I don't know if it was in satisfaction, disappointment, or pure annoyance. I mean don't get me wrong I have no problem with Tamaki and his princely antics when he's hosting, but that's not really who he is in my eyes.

"Hi Tamaki." I said bluntly, but a grin was spreading across my features. I liked to tease him sometimes, but we both know its just for fun.

"Oh my dear River, we are going to visit some of your poor friends! They miss you oh so much!" Tamaki informed enthusiastically, tears even coming to his eyes. He was so emotional sometimes, but it was only sometimes. He led me out to his limo without even asking me if I wanted to visit the hosts or not.

As we pulled up to the school I felt a sudden wave of guilt wash over me. Mori would be here. I don't know why I didn't think this earlier because it was well known that he was a host. I got out of the limo Tamaki automatically lacing his fingers with mine. I gave him a shaky smile and we headed into Music Room #3.

The familiar smell of tea wafted into my nose as i closed my eyes and breathed in the wonderful scent. I could feel the rose petals hitting me softly. I opened my eyes to see the room decorated tropically and the hosts all standing there, eyes wide.

"River-Chan!" Honey screamed running up to me and jumping on to me. I automatically hugged him tightly.

"I can't believe its been almost a whole year since I've seen you!" I exclaimed putting Honey down and looking over at the others.

"I can't believe you left me alone with these guys." Haruhi said walking up to me and hugging me. She looked extremely annoyed and I pulled away from the hug and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Sorry I kinda didn't have a choice though. You guys are still like family to me though." I explained and began catching up with Haruhi. We hadn't really talked much when I had come to the club in the past. She was really nice and I'm actually disappointed that we didn't become friends sooner.

Haruhi had left to go make us tea because our conversation had become pretty lengthy. I was letting my eyes wander around the music room and they landed on a tall figure near the windows. My purple eyes met with his dull grey ones and I could feel the sadness that was evident in eyes. I tried my hardest not to run into his arms and cry, so I instead smiled at him. Unlike before he only looked back down at the ground instead if returning it. This hurt me knowing that he was so upset.

After spending time at the club, I had to return to my estate during hosting hours. Though getting easily bored in the empty house I decided to visit the academy, though not the hosts. I just wanted to roam the halls like I had before. Finding myself staring into the garden where me and Tamaki first kissed, the hall where Honey told me of Mori's feelings.

A dam now blocks my stream of thoughts and happiness. Am I meant to stay here trapped in by a wall of my royal duties or will my current flow so strong as to break the barriers and damn the people who once told me to settle.

Once I was done reminiscing I returned to my estate and was called into my parents chambers. When I walked in it was elegantly decorated and my parents started right into conversation.

"River, are you happy with Tamaki?" My mother asked looking at my delicate form.

"Yes mother of course, just not the happiest I could be." I told her and she smiled sadly at me, I knew what was coming next and so did she.

"Well your going to have to settle with what you have. Happiness is not something that can ever be obtained my dear." My father said sternly and I was disgusted. I was happy around the hosts, around Mori.

"I'm in love with someone else father, and Tamaki knows that I am. He even knew it before I and if you can't respect that then I will have to step down as the Sanoka princess." I demanded and my father looked at me in awe.

"Get out of our chamber and come back when your head isn't up in the clouds!" He yelled and I quickly left the chamber and went to my own, wondering why had compelled me to say what I did.

I picked up my cellphone and called Tamaki and asked him come over and to head right up to my room.

"River, is everything okay?" He asked genuine worry lacing his face.

"I love you and I think you know that, but I can't marry you." I said covering my face with my hands.

"You love Mori I can tell, River he loves you too. I know that you can see it, but you have no choice but to marry me. Your parents-" he explained but I cut him off.

"I'm stepping down as the Sanoka princess, I'm sorry but I have to be with him." I said now looking straight into Tamaki's eyes. And he understood but he came closer to me.

"Just one last time..." He said quietly before leaning in and kissing me deeply and I kissed him back. It would be the last time our lips connected and moved together as one. When we broke apart I was sad that it had ended but happy for what was to be.

"C'mon we are going to Honey and Mori's place." Tamaki said dragging me out of the room.
