Welcome To Ouran Academy

Chapter 7: Calm Before The Drama Storm

He held the piece of paper in his hand, and glancing at it. Then gathering his thoughts he exited the office with the birth certificate and head back to the kitchen.
 
"Here is proof that you are indeed our first born child." Father said, handing the paper to her.
 
Kimie took it from him, looking at the certificate, the paper had the name 'Kimie Kagami born on April 1st at 11pm' written in blank ink.
 
"I can't believe it." She said, getting emotional. "All those years I felt like something was missing, now I know where I belong."
"Can you ever forgive me for neglecting and abandoning you as a baby?" Mother asked apologetically.
Kimie went silent for a second, then replied. "Answer me this, why didn't you come looking for me after you had Yuri? Did you even love me?"
"Of course we did." Father added. 'You're mother was.. emotionally damaged at that time."
 
Kimie still didn't say a single word, despite that they had neglected to nurture their firstborn. I stood quietly in a corner.
 
"Yuri, you seem to be quiet over there, is everything alright ?" Mother asked.
 
Then I ran and hugged Kimie tightly.
 
"For years I thought I was really a only child." I said starting to tear up. "I would never have known you were my older sister, that day when we met at Ouran Academy."
 
Kimie wrapped her arms around me tightly as well.
 
"Mm.. it's good to be back little sis." She said.
"Where were you all these years?" I asked.
"Well, I was found outside on the church steps by a Nun. And they took me in until I was old enough to live out on my own." She replied.
 
Father went over and hugged Kimie, she hugged him back.
 
"Welcome home." He said.
"Yes, welcome home." Mother said as she come over to give Kimie a hug as well.
"Get away from me!" She said, backing away from her.
"Kimie, what's wrong?" Mother asked.
"I said 'get away from me.' She said in a sneering tone.
 
Mother just stood inches away from Kimie, with a sad expression look on her face.
 
"Come on honey-" Mother said.
"What you did so many years ago was just plain stupid, now it's biting you back in the butt." 
She replied. "Time may heal all wounds, but it will be a long time before I can forgive you for what you've done."
 
Kimie put an arm on my shoulder, looking at me.
 
"Come on Yuri, we need to go plan out some more outfits." She said.
 
I nodded softly, while trying to dry my tears. Kimie and I both walked out of the kitchen, and went back upstairs.
 
"Where did I go wrong when we had Kimie?" Mother said to father.
"You said it yourself, we were too young." He replied.
"This isn't helping me to cheer up you know." She replied. "So what if I was depressed after the birth that I turned to alcohol for comfort."
"Thus the reason why you have a drinking problem." He said. "If you want to repair what's has been broken, you really should think of quieting."
She sighed. "Ooh.. I give up." 
Meanwhile at Haruhi's apartment
 
She was glancing at her phone that had a text from Hikaru displaying 'Would you consider going on a second date with me?' Her father peaked over Haruhi's shoulder at the text as he walked by.
 
"Who's the text from? It better not be that perverted Tamaki." He said.
"No dad, it's from Hikaru." She replied.
"Which one was he? Cause I couldn't tell those two twins apart, the first time I met the host club." He asked.
Haruhi sighs at her father and replied. "Anyway, he just wanted to go on a date, that's all."
"Well, this is shocking news, my Haruhi is all grown up." He said in a fluttery tone.
'Geez dad, it's only a second date.' She thought to herself. "Tomorrow, Hikaru and I are going to the shopping mall."
 
Her dad was still spaced out in his little daydream, then she smiles.
At Hikaru and Karou's place
 
The twins were chatting while lying in their bed.
 
"Asking Haruhi for another date seems pretty smooth on your part." Karou said.
"Yeah, well don't get too jealous. After all I was the one who got to go on a date with her, only because we all wanted to figure out what she was scared of." Hikaru replied.
"The end result of discovering her blindfolded, in a room with the boss, during a thunderstorm." Karou said.
"I think we all misunderstood that little scene." Hikaru replied. "But it was funny when he was trying to clear up the misunderstanding."
 
They both sighed in unison.
 
"Hikaru, what would things be like once we all graduate?" Karou asked.
"That will be decided by our own paths I guess." Hikaru replied.
"Our own paths?" Karou smiled at his brother. "Just what ever you decide, I'll completely understand."
 
Hikaru smiles back, then snuggles close to Karou and falls fast asleep.
At Kyoya's place
 
'Everything going the way I've hoped, now I just have to let things just fall into place.' Kyoya thought while reading a book. 'No one expects anything.'
At Tamaki's place
 
He was currently trying to map out his plans for tomorrow night, but the pressure of a first date was already getting to him.
 
"I've read on first date tips and advice, but none of them are answering the questions that I'm searching for." Tamaki said to himself.
 
Reading each article thoroughly, he soaked in the information on how to make the perfect plans for a dinner date.
 
"Maybe this is better to let things go at a normal pace. Besides I don't want to overdo it, and seem that I'm giving her a too strong of a message." Tamaki continued talking to himself.
Meanwhile back with Kimie and Yuri
 
We went back up the steps and into my bedroom. I was still in shock at the news for my own mother, that she kept this information from me all these years without even saying anything. 
 
"I-I can't believe you are my older sister. But when we met up as friends at Ouran Academy, you had a different last name." I asked. "How? What? I don't quite understand all of this."
"Heh, funny story." Kimie replied. "I took the last name of my crush from one of my favorite manga's."
"But I saw you calling your parents?" I said.
"I was only pretending to call. You would think I had you fooled." Kimie replied. "I kinda knew you were my sister, I just didn't say anything right at that moment."
"Ookay, how did you get into Ouran Academy?" I asked.
"I've got the answer for that specific question. While I was living on my own, I stopped by the library every so often to read up on some interesting things. So I saw an ad for Ouran Academy on the public library's bulletin board, and decided to apply, which I included my name and cell number in case if I got a call back. No sooner I get a call back from the school, that they invite me to the school to take their entrance exam. And I took the opportunity to do something with my life, instead of being a nobody.”
"How did you get there ?" I asked.
"Decided to rent a limo for a day." Kimie replied. "The representative asked for my name to verify some information, so I gave them my actual last name 'Kagami' instead of my fake one. The salesperson asked if I was related to the guy that own a big tech company in the area. I answered that I was, he didn't believe me at first, until I gave them my photo ID. 
Unfortunately the man who was assisting me with the transactions, kept asking me if I was telling the truth, that i wasn't some random girl who wandered in just to fool around. Then after a large amount of convincing, they let me borrow a limo for a day also included a driver."
"Ooh so that why you demised the driver when I met you, clever." I said. "One last question though, regarding all of us meeting up at the restaurant, what was reason you were so quiet when mom didn't recognize you right away." I said.
"Her drinking must've caused her to have a brain hemorrhage somewhere that triggered something to make her not remember stuff from years past." Kimie replied. "That's the real reason she didn't recognize me. Father on the other hand was never big on showing weakness, he always puts a tough front, so no one could see him cry."
"Yeah he would always acting like that around me, whenever I came home. Now I'm curious as to who got who's genes?" I said. "I've got mother's dark blue eyes, and you got his brown eyes."
"You've got mother's dark brown wavy hair while I got father's straight jet black hair." Kimie answered. "Speaking of I'll have to square things up with father, once this whole problem blows over. But my relationship with mother, it will take a long while before I can start to trust her again."
"Same here." I said. "I have so many other questions that need to be answered, but they're really not extremely important right now."
 
Without saying anything, Kimmie embraced her young sister.
 
"Promise me, you'll never disappear ever again." I said calmly.
"I promise." She replied holding Yuri close.
 
After hugging for a good solid hour. Jeeves appeared in the doorway.
 
"Ladies, dinner is now served."
 
He placed their two plates on Yuri's desk. They ate some of the delicious food that Jeeves had brought up. taking a bit into her food and melted at it's texture.
 
"Mm.. I supposed I did kinda miss being waited on. Living in the finest places money could offer." She said. "Eating all of the fanciest meals."
I chuckled.. "I'm just glad you came back Kimmie. Do you ever think you will forgive mother?"
"If she is willing to clean up her act, get some help, than maybe I will think about it. Right now my focus is on helping you."
Back Downstairs
 
"Where did we go wrong?" Mother sobbed.
"Kimmie seems to be bearing some type of grudge against us. Something we didn't know about."
"But for what reason?"
 
Father sighed and turned to his wife.
 
"It was about us abandoning her as a baby. And now that Yuri had found out the truth. She has some inflicting emotions going through her mind at the moment."
"Do you think both of them will-." 
"Forgive? Doubt it."
"It may take some time for the mental wounds to heal. In the meantime, maybe you should try and get some emotional help from a therapist."
"Yeah, I'll try. For both our daughters, and for myself."
 
Father hugged her close.
 
"You're doing the right thing."
 
Jeeves, who apparently walked in the kitchen spotting the two.
 
"Oh, am I interrupting anything important?"
"Not really, have the girls eaten?"
"I've just brought a plate of their requested food sir. Would you like your meals prepared now?"
"We'll skip and enjoy a bowl of popcorn instead, the misses and I are gonna snuggle up and watch a movie."
"Very well sire."
"Popcorn and a movie, don't you have work to do ?"
"I'm keeping my promise by spending time with you and the girls. Work can wait."
"This is a whole new side of you that rarely was shown."
"I can't be all work and no play. Besides I miss us fooling in the bedroom."
"Maybe I can arrange that." She replied trying to sound sexy while putting a bag of popcorn into the microwave.
 
Once the popcorn was finish popping, both of them walked into the media room for a night of romance to themselves.
Kimie And Yuri
 
"Say.. why don't we have a girls day before your big dinner date with- who is this guy again?"
"Tamaki Suoh."
 
Kimie scuffs at his name.
 
"That prince-wannabe, prancing around the hallway like he's the perfect guy. Certainly not my type if you ask me."
"How can you tell that he's a fake, when you haven't been to the host club. I on the other-hand have."
"I think you've been reading too many of those manga stories about princes and princesses, they have distorted your mind between reality and fantasy."
"Hey a girl can dream, can't she."
"Yeah."
"So, I have a hold of my own mind Kim."
 
She looks at me with a 'I don't believe you' expression
 
"Anyway, we'll head to the place where mother has her 'spa days' and have a relaxing girl time."
"A spa day sounds like a dream." I nodded in agreement. "Okay tomorrow, we head to the spa."
 
My digital clock read 11:00 pm
 
"May as well get some shut eye. Busy day ahead." Kimie yawned.
 
I pulled out a drawer bed.
 
"Here, you can sleep in my room tonight. Mom and Dad had to use your old room for storage."
"Figures."
"Also, I'll let you use one of my night gowns, since we don't have any extra clothes for you at the moment."
"You would do this, even for me."
"Of course, you're my sister, and nothing can change that."
 
Kimie emotionally snapped.
 
"Yuri, you don't get it, do you. Mother and Father abandoned me as a baby. And you think things will be ok again.
"I don't know what going through your mind but you need to let it go."
"I can't, I saw things you wouldn't want to know about. Terrible horrible things." She starts to sob.
"What kind of horrible things?"
"Stuff that you're too young to know about."
"You can tell me Kimie."
"I can't, I just can't."
 
With my sister's sadden face, I put my arms around Kimie and she starts to cry. Embracing and comforting her as tears rolled down her cheeks.
 
"Maybe I'll let you sleep with me in my princess size bed."
 
We both climbed in, and got under the covers. Kimie closed her eyes with tears still lingering, which I gently wiped them away. Then I laid down and praying tomorrow will be successful.. I hope.
