Falling for you Ch 19

Quite a dramatic chapter. Hope you all like it. For those who have seen the anime D gray man, I pulled a DGM type of thing on you guys in this chapter. You'll understand more once you read the chapter.

Lawl, I think the title of this chapter sounds like the title of a movie XDDD Bad title, I know.

Chapter 19estination-America

"America? The third years field trip is America?"

"Isn't that where Akahana went? Mori-senpai, you could find her and bring her back with you!" cried the twins as they sped over to Mori's side and shook him violently at the shoulders.

"Guys..." Hunny spoke up to address the twins but was utterly ignored as they were too busy jumping for joy and excitement,

"This is perfect! This couldn't work out better! We all were just depressed about Akahana leaving and now Mori-senpai and Hunny-senpai are going on a field trip to the very place Aka fled to-"

"It must be fate, Hikaru! Now, I'm no idealist but I think..."

"Guys..." Hunny reached out to tug on the twins pants but was ignored yet again. The twins continued to bellow on and on about Akahana, the field trip, how they could find her and bring her back during the field trip and so on.

...The boy lolita couldn't take it anymore.

"SHUT UP!" Hunny screamed, throwing his stuffed bunny to the floor as hard as he could.

...The room instantly fell silent and the other hosts all looked at Hunny who had picked his bunny back up and was hugging Usa-chan as tightly as he could, panting from yelling the loudest he ever had in his life. Mori hid his face but placed a comforting hand on the small man's shoulder.

...Now the twins felt bad, "H-Hunny-senpai, we-" Mori shook his head at the twins, telling them not to say anything more. The twins obeyed and looked downward sadly.

Just like so many other times, a few minutes passed before anyone dared to speak up,

"It's not that easy."

The hosts shot a puzzled look at Hunny who had his body turned away from them,

"It's not that easy as Hika-chan and Kao-chan make it out to be. We can't just go to America and bring Aka-chan back. We don't even know which state she moved to...so it's impossible to just..." Hunny's voice trailed off as tears sprung to his golden eyes.

Unfortunately, Hunny was right. Akahana had moved to America. That much they knew. However, it was unknown to the hosts of Ouran academy to which part of America she had moved to. Chances were, wherever she had moved to, it was going to be somewhere the third years weren't going to go to. It was only painful to hear the twins speak such unusual, idealistic fantasies.

Since the twins had spoke of such things, Hunny and Mori regretted running to music room three the moment they had heard about the field trip. When they actually stopped and thought about it, there was only a small chance that Hunny and Mori would actually spot Akahana during their trip. Why had they gotten so excited in the first place...?

"Well, don't worry about searching for Akahana, you two. That isn't why you're going on the trip in the first place, right? Just try to enjoy yourselves. It's all you can do." Kyouya suggested, not looking up from his lap top screen once.

The third years simply looked away from their friend, mumbling a quiet "Yeah" before saying goodbye to the others and headed home to prepare for the upcoming field trip to America.

As Mori walked down the hallway with Hunny, his mind yet again wondered over to the one person he loved so very much,

'Akahana is gone...there's no way we'd encounter her on that trip...'Mori shut his eyes and let out a silent sigh.

However, despite what he had thought, Mori held just a little bit of hope in his heart...

-The next week, the day of the field trip-

Monday...the day the third years would be going on the field trip had finally arrived. It was mid-morning and all the third years, along with some teachers, had drove to the airport to board the plan for America. They would all be on said trip for about a week. They would visit about two different states so there would be a lot for the students to enjoy and explore. But even though that was true, the hosts going on the trip still held great doubt of finding Akahana while they were on the trip. However, for now, they would put her out of their minds.

"Takashi, hurry! The plane is about to leave!" squealed Hunny who dragged Mori by the arm, up the stares leading into the plane with the other third years trailing either in front or behind them.

After they had loaded their luggage and found a seat, the plane was off the ground, heading for America. Now surrounding Mori and Hunny in their seats, the other students continued to go on and on about the trip, their excitement hardly contained,

"This is gonna be so sweet!"

"I've been to America once before. It was really cool and there were tons of stuff there that I'd never seen before."

"An entire week in a new country-my little sister is so jealous! Like before I left, she..."

As the students continued to ramble on and on about how ecstatic they were, Mori could feel himself beginning to drift off into a deep sleep...

'Where am I...?' Mori looked around only to see that he was no longer in what seemed to be the plane. No, the place he was suddenly in now was a place unfamiliar to him entirely. Wherever he was, it was extremely dark and quiet. Not only that, but it seemed to Mori-senpai that he was alone in this place.

Scanning the dark area with his grey eyes, Mori begin to walk straight ahead in hopes of finding a light or something to help him see. However, as he walked on, it was useless. There was nothing in the place he had transported to,

'It's so dark...I can't see anything at all.' The host instantly came to a stop, fearing that if he continued to walk without seeing where he was going, he would trip."I was on the plane just a moment ago...Mitsukuni?" He looked around for the cutesy boy-lolita...there was no sign of him. At feeling aggravation begin to consume him, the Morinozuka ruffled his hair in annoyance, "How did I..."

"Takashi..."

"...!" The kendo-master quickly sped around to look in the direction the strange voice had suddenly come from. A few moments passed...everything was silent once more. This made the man wonder if what he had heard was a hallucination of some kind. Shrugging it off, Mori took a step forward to walk away but froze yet again,

"Takashi!"

This time, Mori KNEW he had heard something. Turning back around in the direction he had heard the voice originate from, Mori rose a brow in suspicion as he started to walk on straight ahead,

"...Hello-"

"T-Takashi?"

Mori's eyes widened to the size of saucers as he saw the very person who had been haunting his mind for the past two weeks descend from the darkness, coated in a veil of bright light. She wore her usual Ouran uniform and her beautiful red hair fell off her shoulders and down her back as it always had. Bandages covered her angelic face and she seemed to be standing with a slight hunch, probably because of the crutch she held under one of her arms. As the two stared at one another for a moment, it wasn't long before a sweet, gentle smile spread across the girl's face as the coat of light that surrounded her expanded, totally destroying all the darkness that had once been there before she had appeared.

Shell-shocked and having little faith in his eyesight, Mori opened his mouth to call out to her to see if she was really standing before him, "Aka...hana?"

The girl nodded shyly and blushed as she tucked a strand of hair behind one of her ears. Mori's shocked expression did not change even though she had confirmed she was truly there before him...It had felt like years since he had last seen her while in realty, it had really only been a few weeks. Even so...just seeing her made Mori burst with extreme happiness.

"Akahana..." Takashi's eyes reverted back to normal before he ran towards the woman he loved, with tears threatening to spill as he got closer to her(and for Mori, tears were extremely rare). Whether she was an illusion or not, he didn't care. To him, it really felt like Akahana was there, standing right in front of him.

The host now stood less then ten inches away from her, a warm smile creeping up his face as he stared at her. Akahana looked at the handsome teen for a second before she quickly looked down, blushing a shade of red that would put Kasonoda's hair to shame. This caused Mori to let out a chuckle, amused by the adorable reaction from the red haired beauty.

"...I missed you." He mumbled, pulling Aka into a strong yet tender hug that Mori wished would last for an eternity.

The man smiled even more when he felt Akahana's face becoming warm on his shoulder...she was blushing again. So cute. So very innocent. These were some of the things he loved so much about her.

The hug went onto to last for what seemed like hours. Mori rose his brows when he felt Akahana's hands grip onto his back hard and following that came the strong shaking of her body in his arms. She was crying now.

Mori shut his eyes and stroked the back of her head, lovingly, "It's alright now, Akahana. Don't cry." Takashi felt relieved when the crying seemed to have finally come to a stop after a few minutes of speaking gently to her. She was no longer trembling in his arms and the quiet whimpers had disappeared. Everything was just fine now.

Yes, everything was fine. So fine that it was almost too good to be true...far too good.

"...Akahana?" Mori loosened his hold on Aka but didn't break the hug at the sudden feeling something was wrong. She had defiantly calmed down but..."Akahana, are you okay?" The tall man asked again.

...No response.

"Akahana." This time, Mori broke the hug so he could look at her but little had the host known that was the very worst possible thing he could have done at that time...

...He felt sick. Mori felt extremely, horribly, and violently sick. Mori's eyes widened once more as he felt his jaw drop to the ground. He stared at Akahana in horror and then looked to his hands that now seemed to have some sort of warm liquid on them. Whatever the liquid on Mori's hands was, it was red. Red...it reeked of a familiar smell Mori had smelt once before. He rarely ever smelt such an odor but Mori could defiantly identify what it was, easily. Blood. His hands were covered in it. Looking down, Mori then noticed that his entire front was covered in it as well. However, the blood on himself was not what horrified him to the point of wishing to throw up everything he had eaten that day. Mori looked up once again,

"Ah..." was all that came out of his mouth. The sight in front of him was too much for him to bare. Akahana still stood there before him but the same liquid that covered Mori's hands and front, was soaked all over her body. Her face was pale...no wait, pale would be an understatement. It was more like pure white. Her eyes that were once a beautiful crystal-clear blue color were now grey and lifeless.

...No. Takashi couldn't bare to look at her anymore.

Without mumbling another word, Mori turned to run away when out of the corner of his eye, a familiar face suddenly appeared. The host froze dead in his tracks, slowly looking towards the man now standing across from him,

"...You-"

"I told you it would happen, didn't I?" The mysterious figure smirked as he focused his blood red eyes on the Morinozuka. Mori recognized those eyes...it was Ai.

"What are you doing here...?" Mori clenched a fist as tight as he could, suppressing the overwhelming anger that threatened to erupt from within him at the sight of the detestable man. However, the tall teen's reaction only seemed to tickle Ai pink,

A small smile spread over Ai's face, "I told you before...remember?" Ai pointed to the place Akahana stood, her body all bloodied up and beaten, "No matter what you do or how hard you try...in the end, she's going to die."

Mori followed Ai's finger with his eyes and felt sick once more. What's worst is that now, Takashi could feel his body begin to violently shake with a feeling of extreme terror. Ai's smirk faded into an even bigger smile as he walked right up behind Mori and placed a hand on his shoulder. The man stood on his toes to whisper in Takashi's ear,

"...She's going to leave you all alone."

"...She won't."

"Oh, but she will. Although, it's not as if it will be her choice to die..."

Mori looked over to Ai with a questionable look, "What do you mean?"

"Have you already forgotten? I've said it how many times now...in the end, she'll die."

...Takashi was growing very tired of those words. Was that all Ai knew how to say? He and the other hosts had saved her from death before. Even if something were to happen, he would save her, "She isn't going to die. Enough of that shtick already."

Ai let out a dark chuckle before squeezing Mori's shoulder tight, "If you say so...but, you know..." Ai looked up with an insane expression, "You're the last person I ever expected who would be the one who killed her in the end..."

Mori felt his heart stop as the surroundings around Ai and him changed completely in a matter of seconds. Now the two of them stood in a street with millions of people everywhere, panicking and screaming about something or rather. Mori didn't recognize this street. It wasn't one of Japan's, he knew that. Where were they...?

"Where..." But before Mori could get the question out, time suddenly froze around him and all the people who had been running around, screaming in horror stopped in their tracks.

And then, with a flash of light, Mori suddenly stood in front of something lying on the ground. The Morinozuka covered his mouth, trying to stop his lunch from coming back up right then. There was a strong smell of blood again...only worst then before. So bad that it made his stomach do summer-salts. Just the smell of whatever was on the ground at his feet made Mori afraid to look downwards. Although the man didn't have to look down to see that blood was all over the street. No, not just the street. It was everywhere...Mori was nearly positive now. The thing at his feet was most likely someone's dead body. At that moment, Ai appeared behind him and forced Takashi with his hand to look down,

"AH...!" Mori screamed, staring at the bloody corpse on the ground. It wasn't long before tears spilled from his eyes and Mori fell to his knees, petrified, "A-AKAHANA...!" crying now, Mori picked up Akahana's body and hugged it to his chest as he sobbed on and on.

"Hmph." Takashi shot a glare back at the smiling Ai, "I warned you, Takashi Morinozuka. No matter what..."

"...shut up..."

"She's going..."

"Shut up..."

"In the end..."

"Shut up...!"

"to be killed by you"

"SHUT U-" Takashi jumped up to yell but stopped when he suddenly sensed the presence of six other people behind him. Mori turned to look at them when a sudden burst of relief came over him, "Mitsukuni...and the others..."

Hunny, Tamaki, Kyouya, the twins, and Haruhi didn't speak or move. The six of them just stood before their friend, their faces hidden by their bangs. Mori stood up carefully, a small smile coming across his tear-stained face. However, the smile immediately dropped when his friends looked at him...each of them wore a hateful, murderous glare on their pale-colored faces.

Takashi stared at his friends in confusion, "...?" Hunny stepped forward in anger, glaring his cousin right in the eyes,

"Takashi...HOW COULD YOU?" Hunny shouted, tears streaming down his face.

"Wha...?" Mori looked to the others who had the same expression as Hunny.

Now the twins stepped up, "...We thought you loved her, Mori-senpai!"

"This is most unexpected...I can't believe you did such a thing, Mori-senpai." Kyouya spoke, looking away as he adjusted his glasses. Tamaki soon descended from behind Kyouya, his head hanging low,

"I can't believe it either...I thought you were our friend, Mori-senpai...Poor Akahana...What did she do to deserve any of this?" Mori's expression saddened at the host king's words,

"Tamaki, I..."

And finally, Haruhi moved towards Mori, her face still hidden by her bangs, "...Senpai...you murderer. Akahana trusted you...she...she LOVED you. And you killed her!" Haruhi looked up, tears of anger flying out of her dark eyes. She screamed one last time, "YOU BASTARD!"

Before Mori could even defend himself, the hosts continued to spew cold-hearted insults and accusations at him. Takashi looked away as the others voices rose. However, it was no use. The hosts followed in front of him, as he backed away in fear. Ai stood at the side, laughing and enjoying every minute of the Morinozuka's expense.

'Why is this happening...?' Mori could feel his heart about to give out as he stared hopelessly at his friends walking towards him in fury, 'I don't understand...Why do they think I killed Akahana?' Mori jumped at suddenly backing into a wall that had suddenly appeared.

The hosts disappeared and the surroundings faded back to darkness. Now it was just Ai and him,

"No matter what you do, she's going to die. That's all there is to it." Ai mumbled, turning to walk away, "Don't expect a happy reunion with her like the one you dreamt earlier. No, when you see her again...well, lets just say it'll be the worst possible way for you to reunite with her. And even after you find her again..." Ai turned back around to smirk at Mori, "You two won't have much time together...before it's all over."

'Over...?' But before Mori could ask Ai anything, he disappeared and everything turned to light,

"Takashi? Takashi, wake up." Hunny shook his cousin hard, calling out his name. After five minutes, Mori finally opened his eyes,

"Hmm...Mitsukuni?" Mori asked, yawning quietly, "What happened...?"

"You fell asleep. You were out for about ten hours. You must have been really tired..." Hunny smiled sadly at his cousin as he patted him on the head, "Did you have a nightmare of some kind? When you were sleeping, you started to cry a little...I got scared so I woke you up. Are you okay, Takashi?"

Mori stared at Hunny for a moment. Everything he had just been through...it was all a dream. 'Thank God' were the only words Mori could think.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Mori yawned again as he wiped the sleep out of his eyes, "How much longer..."

"Ladies and Gentleman, we have arrived."

"!" Mori looked up at suddenly hearing the voice of the pilot come over the speakers,

"We have arrived in America. We are landing now..."

"Yay! Takashi, we're here! That was fast, huh?"

Mori didn't look at Hunny but instead sat back in his seat and swallowed a giant lump that had formed in his throat. He really did feel sick now...just like in his nightmare.

Mori's eyes went wide. His nightmare...

"Don't expect a happy reunion with her like the one you dreamt earlier. No, when you see her again...well, lets just say it'll be the worst possible way for you to reunite with her. And even after you find her again...You two won't have much time together...before it's all over."

"...MMPH!" Takashi quickly covered his mouth with a hand before jumping up from his seat and running straight towards the airplanes bathroom. As Mori ran, he could hear Hunny and the teachers voice calling his name. Reaching the bathroom, Mori slammed the door behind him and leaned over the toilet as everything he had eaten the day before came up all at once.

That nightmare...was even worst then the one he had had a few months ago before the Ouran festival. However, just like before, the worst part of the nightmare stuck in his head and played like a broken record, over and over. As if it were mocking and torturing him at the same time...

"You're the last person I ever expected who would be the one who killed her in the end..."

"...MMM...MMPHM!" Mori continued to threw up violently as he relived the whole dream over again. Seeing Akahana again, her body all beaten and bloodied, the hosts calling him names and accusing him of killing her...Ai telling him their reunion would be horrible. The whole nightmare made Mori wish he had never decided to come on this trip in the first place.

*knock knock!*

Mori looked up from the toilet only to hear someones voice come from the other side of the door,

"Takashi, are you o-okay?"

It was Hunny. He sounded scared. He was most likely worried. Come to think of it, Mori had never gotten so sick in front of Hunny before. No wonder he had chased after him.

"It's alright, Mitsukuni...I'll be out in a minute...Go ahead without me." Takashi managed to get out before he was throwing up again. Hunny simply mumbled 'ok' before walking away in concern.

A few more minutes passed and it was finally over. Mori panted for a few seconds then stood up and flushed. Now, there was nothing left in Mori to throw up. However, that nightmare still would not leave his mind alone.

"...Senpai...you murderer. Akahana trusted you...she...she LOVED you. And you killed her!"

"...Ngh." Mori covered his eyes with a hand before sitting back on the floor in anxiety. "What the hell was the point of having such a dream?" Mori took his hand away from his face and looked at his sweaty palm. He bit his lip hard...

"Are you trying to tell me...that I can't see her ever again?"

Mori got up from the bathroom floor, opened the door, and made his way after his classmates as he exited out of the plane into a new, unexplored country for the first time...

Authors comments: I'm so sorry if that chapter made no sense. I think there were a few things in there that may have not made sense. Like the flight time from Japan to America...Mori was asleep for the entire trip...and somehow they made it from Japan to America within ten hours. Which is like impossible I think. So Ouran must have a fast plane XDDD; Sorry. I hope people liked it though.

Hmm, I wonder why Mori dreamt the hosts and Ai calling him a murderer? Foreshadowing perhaps? I don't know so don't look at me lol/ Oh, and BTW, at the end when Mori thought "Are you trying to tell me..." by 'you' he meant God. Just wanted to clear that up.

Oh and like I said before, I pulled a D gray man on you guys in this chapter. The part where the hosts appear in Mori's dream and verbally attack him. That happened in the anime/manga D gray man where a character was in a dream world and his friends and loved one attacked him and turned on him. I thought the idea was so cool that I used it.

Next chapter will be about Hunny and Mori's first few days in America! Stay tuned Thank you to all my lovely readers out there. I love you all!
