Word: Hourglass

An hourglass is generally a device used for the measurement of time. Two odd shaped glass filled with sand on one end where it drips to the other. When all the sand reaches the bottom it signifies the passing of a period of time. You must turn the hourglass over in order to start again.

As Haruhi watches the, now to her, normal antics of the host club, aka, Tamaki's usual wailing and going into his little corner when she refuses to call him "daddy", the twins usual devilish schemes to torture their king, Kyouya's debt raising. The hourglass in her head just seemed to be taking forever before all the sand reached the bottom and she could finally leave to the peace and quiet of her apartment. At least until her father got home. The next day every thing would start over again. She would flip her mental hourglass and wait for the sand to slowly reach the other side all the while listening, watching, unvoluntarily being included, in all the regular antics of the host club.

But it wasn't like she didn't enjoy most of it. In truth, her days with the host club were some of the happiest she could remember since before her mother died. Not to say she was unhappy with being just with her father. The host club just brought out a different some thing that would make memories she would cherish for a very long time. At times she was grateful that the sand took forever to finish, even if they did tend to get, annoying. Often did Haruhi wonder, what her life would have been like if she had not stumbled into the third music room that day and met the host club. But she would stop herself and just let the hourglass fill at the bottom with white sand until the time came for her to say goodbye. She hoped it wasn't anytime soon.

"Haruhi,will you call me daddy?" Tamaki asks.

"No."

Hope this was okay. I originally had two ideas for this but in the end I seemed to have some what combined both of them. Thank you for reading.
