"You sure you're ready to have it back? Be careful." My dad held my phone out in front of me, which I slowly took from his hand. I smiled at the device, a small charm hung from a strap attached to it. 

"I'll be careful dad, don't worry. I just...more or less wanna relive what I forgot about with Kairi. And maybe see if I can gain some memory back." I frowned slightly, taking a deep breath as I opened the phone. The picture on my wallpaper was one of Kairi and I, holding up peace signs as we made silly faces. The picture warmed my heart, but also made it hurt. 

I missed her.

"I love you, I gotta get to work okay? If you need anything just call Hunter or someone." 

"Okay dad, I love you too. Have a good day!" I kissed his cheek, then made my way towards my room. I spent the next little bit going through my photos and some messages, regaining my knowledge little by little on my life the last year. It was all still so insane.

The last thing I remembered was that I was living with my mother, awfully sad and just dreading life. I had nothing to be happy for. And apparently over the year not only did i get my best friend back, but I started dating my old middle school crush. I feel like I'm in some weird t.v. show or something. I don't know...all i know is that what I have started remembering, I hate that I forgot it. But then there's things I was glad to have forgotten. Like the school hating my life because of a rumor.

I sighed, looking away and towards the board on my wall that had several pictures pinned up. I smiled towards it, then looking back at my phone. I took a deep breath, going through my contacts and dialing a number to call.

It rang, and each ring made my heart sink a little more.

"Hello? Is everything okay Y/n?" The worried voice of Tamaki Suoh came through my phones speaker, and I chuckled lightly. 

"Yeah. I think...it's time."

He took a deep breath of understanding, letting the line fall silent for a second.

"You're sure you wanna do this?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay. I'll have everyone meet up then, since it's the weekend, let's just meet at your place. For one last official Host Club gathering..."

"Sounds good. Hey...Tamaki...?

"Yes?"

I could feel my lip slightly tremble, but a smile adorned my face. "Thank you, for everything. For taking me in and being an amazing friend. I love everyone at the Host Club."

I could hear him sniffle, and chuckle a bit. "We love you too, see you in a bit okay?"

"Okay."

I hung up, falling back on my bed and resting my arm over my eyes in an attempt to stop the slow tears that fell down the side of my face. It hurt, knowing that I was closing this chapter on my life. It kind of felt like my story was some what coming to an end. But, at least this way, I can somewhat secure a relationship with Kaoru. 

Kaoru.

He was such an amazing guy, and honestly knowing that doing this I'll get to secure my hopefully future with him, it's worth it. He showed me I could be happy, and I wanna show him he can too. Sure, we had a lot of bumps in the road, but in the end I know he is what I want. He is the one I wanna be with years to come. 

"Miss Y/n, you have visitors." I heard one of the maids say, causing me to wipe my eyes and sit up. "Bring them in!" 

"Yes ma'am." I heard her footsteps as she walked away, and I stood up. A moment went by, and I watched as my room flooded with the guys, and few girls.

Tamaki, Kyoya, the twins, Haruhi, Honey and Mori even, and Cherise. They all walked in, each taking a spot in the room to sort of stand or sit at. 

"Y/n-chan? What's going on, why is Tama-chan having us all meet up here?" Honey asked, walking towards my bed to sit on it. He hugged onto his stuffed rabbit, looking up at me cutely. I could only smile to him, and pat the top of his head. 

"I thought it over. About all of my options on what I wanted to do. And I think I figured it out." I couldn't really stop the few tears that fell down my cheeks, and Kaoru was quick to walk up and wrpa his arms lovingly around me. I accepted the embrace, laying my head against his chest as I regained myself.

"I've regained a lot of memories. You guys really were a second family to me. And I can't thank you all enough for being a family to me when I didn't even have one. I love you all, but I think with how much people at school are going after me, and how I'm not really liked, that it would not only be in my best interest, but the host clubs best interest if I resigned my spot."

"y/n..." Hikaru quietly spoke, and I could feel Kaoru's arms stiffen up, as he held me tighter. "Are you sure...? You aren't just saying that because of what Kyoya said...right?" 

"No, I'm not. I've come to realize it would be selfish of me to stay. My intentions aren't right, on wanting to just make sure I'm still apart of the club. I was scared leaving would mean I'd lose you all, but I know that's not the case. I know that even if I leave, I'll still be able to talk and hang out with you guys. And that's all I want." I wiped my cheeks, showing a large smile to the group in the room. They all smiled back, stepping in to hug me. 

"Of course we will. You'll always be apart of the club, whether you're a member or not." Tamaki said, stepping back and smiling down to me.

It was weird seeing him to serious, but the fact he knew when or when not to be really showed how great of a person he was. 

"I'll be back in school here in maybe another week or so, because I've been going over my old school notes and relearning everything. Since I already had it retained, it wasn't that hard. I'm so excited, yet nervousl. I really hope kids in school will take kindly to me coming back..."

"Don't worry."

"We will protect you in case they have an issue." The twins spoke, showing their cheeky smiles as they both gave a thumbs up. I smiled to them, hugging tightly onto Kaoru. "Thanks, guys."

And just like that, I was no longer a member of the Host Club. Or at least, one that the kids in school knew of. 

And the weeks that passed, it was hard adjsuting back to school life. At first it was just cold stares and angry girls, but soon enough I became sort of a passing thought. They left me alone, and let me be. Of course there would be the occasional threat from girls who still had suspicions, but I just ignored them. They werent worth my time.

And Kaoru. We continued dating, and man was it amazing. We never got into anymore huge arguments, some minor ones here and there like most couples will tend to have, but that was it. He was patient and helped me out , and worked with me as I slowly regained all of my memory. I'll be honest, it took a while. I would have sort of blocks here and there with certain memories, I struggled with relearning. But I got there, and thanks to the help of my amazing friends, and my family, I was able to be back to my normal self.

Kairi, I hope you're watching me. I'm gonna graduate high school, and live on to make you happy. It still hurts with you gone, but I know that having you watching over me, and host club by my side, I'm invincible. 

And with that, I think my story has some to an end...for now. 

~~~~~

GUYS! You have made it to the end of the second book in my Kaoru x reader series. I probably will not continue it, for I need to complete a few other books first and kind of have died out of the Ouran phase for a bit. But don't be sad! I'd love to take book suggestions, and make more fanfiction for you guys to read.

Thank you so much for all of the likes and comments. I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys. I appriciate you all, and thank you for being so patient with me. I know the ending is kind of sudden, but I feel like where the book was, it was at it's time to end.

If you have any anime/character suggestions, feel free to DM me! I'll let you know if I've seen the anime or not, and we can go from there.

For now, goodbye my darlings <3
