Tamaki sat quietly, his long fingers gently laid on the grand piano's keys. Sighing he adjusted his seat and began playing one of his saddest piano pieces he knew. Something suitable to match the depression growing inside. As the low notes began to cascade the room in a darker light the blond teenager thought he heard the sound of the door shut. Pausing he looked over his shoulder to find Haruhi standing by the door, tears crawling down her face. "Haruhi! Are you okay?!" Jumping up from his seat he rushed over to the brown eyed tom boy and took her hands in his own. At this she looked up, her eyes watering a little.

"Senpai... That was so... so sad..." Looking into haruhi's bright brown eyes, Tamaki silently wiped a tear off her cheek with his thumb. Turning back to his piano Tamaki smiled back up to her.

"Would you like me to play something happier? I personally like chopsticks." Looking at the piano, he placed his hands back on the keys preparing to start the familiar cheery tune. He was determined to cheer Haruhi despite his forlorn mood. He was just about to begin when he felt a hand on his own and he looked up.

"Tamaki? Are you okay? You look... well you look sad." Closing his eyes Tamaki grimaced and ducked his head casting a shadow over his face.

"No..."Hoping to distract Haruhi, Tamaki put on his fake smile and looked back at the young woman, never directly meeting her eyes. "No I'm not sad. Why would I be sad? In fact I'm perfectly hap-" SLAM! As the piano lid came crashing down, nearly hitting Tamaki's fingers, the young man looked up astonished into Haruhi's furious face.

"Tamaki! Don't you dare do that to me!" Confused Tamaki simply looked onward as Haruhi's chest heaved."Don't you dare give that fake smile to me... Not me." With that the newest member of the Host Club stormed out of the room slamming the large wooden doors on her way out. Starring blankly at the doors Tamaki breathed in deeply and felt the adrenaline pass through his body. She knew. She noticed he was faking. Not how he looked, the money his family has or the act he put on for the world but the Tamaki he was inside. She saw that. No one has ever seen that before. Maybe, just maybe, he could tell her. Haruhi...

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~

How dare he! How DARE he try that on me! Stomping through the polished halls of Ouran highschool, Haruhi fumed over her recent experience. If he didn't want to tell me he didn't have to but he did not need to put on that fake 'happy' face. That just hurt. Thats what he uses for customers. She was sure she ment more to him than that. Taking a sharp left Haruhi found herself colliding with something very solid, sending papers flying everywhere and her to the floor. "Oh! Sorry. That was my fault." Being on the floor she started to pick up the scattered sheets.

"Yes. It was your fault." Recognizing the voice immediately Haruhi cursed under her breath and looked up into the glare of glasses and styled black hair. "And just for this I will have to add another 1000 yen to your debt." Finished with his little speech Kyouya snatched his now slightly crumpled sheets from Haruhi's grasp and stood, towering over the girl on the floor. Glancing to the side he offered her a hand and hauled her up, his hand lingering a second longer than necessary on her own. Regaining whatever dignity she had left Haruhi looked Kyouya in the eyes.

"Do you know why Tamaki's so depressed? I just found him in the music room and he was completely absorbed in the saddest song I have ever heard..."

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~

Tamaki. She was talking about Tamaki? "Kyouya? Are you even listening?" Realizing how he must have looked, Kyouya focused and moved slightly so she would not be able to see through the glare in his glasses. "Do you know why Tamaki's so depressed?" Of course he did. As the so called 'Shadow king' he knew everything there was to know about practically everybody. "No. Are you certain he is not just being his usual idiotic self?" Kyouya replied, staring into her chocolate eyes. He wouldn't tell her. He couldn't tell her. If he told she would go back to him... back to comfort his only real enemy, his only true friend. "We all know Tamaki is prone to dramatic outbursts. Give him an hour and he will be back to the cheery fool he is." Giving Haruhi a small smile, he started walking towards the schools main doors. Noticing quiet footfalls behind his own Kyouya looked over his shoulder to find that Haruhi was following him. His heart started to beat just the littlest bit faster as he tried to remain calm on the outside. "Yes?" Slowing so she could keep up the young Otori watched the girl with careful thought. What do you want from me? Or is it what do I want from you?

"I don't think it's his usual type of 'depression'. It's almost as if he's... I don't know... dimmed or something. Do you think it's a cold?" Tamaki again. Sigh

"I am sure he is entirely fine, Haruhi." Even saying her name made him feel a little light. Noticing the strange look he was receiving he quickly returned his attention to where he was walking. He needed to stop this or she would think he was going crazy... well crazy for him at least. Kyouya reached into his pocket intending to pull out his cell phone only to find it empty. Looking back at Haruhi he noticed her smiling slightly with her hands casually in the pockets of her uniform.

"Return my phone or I will be forced to add another 5000 to you debt."

"Only if you tell me why you two are acting this way." Puzzled at Haruhi's response the shadow king tilted his head slightly blocking his eyes. Nothing he didn't know could be safe.

"Acting what way?"

~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~

Haruhi groaned and looked Kyouya in the eyes. Well, as close to in the eyes as she could get with his glasses shining back at her. Now he was doing it too. Lying to her. "I know your hiding something. You and Tamaki are hiding something from me." Pulling the new cell phone out of her pocket she smiled. "And you can't have this back until you tell me what it is." Though she couldn't see his eyes, the slight smile on Kyouya's face told her that she had said the right thing.

"Tamaki has his own family problems. They are not my, or yours, business to dwell in." Or not. Damn. Feeling the phone snatched from her grasp she looked back at Kyouya and frowned. He was calling his driver, no doubt he would be gone very soon. "Now if you will excuse me, I have things to do. Goodbye Haruhi." And with that the Host walked to the road where a car magically appeared, entered and drove away. Haruhi stood for a moment thinking of what she could do. If Tamaki was hiding something from her maybe she could get him to tell her but if even Kyouya didn't know then it certainly must be important. Psh rich, stupid, boys! Readjusting the bag sitting on her shoulder Haruhi sighed and started on her walk home.
