Thanks for the review(KageNoNeko) & for the future, that is if you, the other readers will ever leave one. Finally, here's the next chappie! Enjoy!
That night, Haruhi could not sleep well. She kept on tossing and turning on her sleep. Her eyes were shut tight but she could not go into a deep slumber. She wondered why. She scratched her head and sat up for awhile. This is odd. Why can't I sleep well? I do hope no one's thinking of me around this time. The image of Tamaki showed up at the wall saying, "Haruhi! Haruhi! Come here, I miss my daughter so much!!" She had an expressionless face when she thought of her idiotic father running towards her direction. She shook her thoughts away and shrugged. No, senpai must be dozing off by this minute. Why did he suddenly pop out of my head? Then, Haruhi became serious at the thought of the twins. "Haruhi, Haruhi, let's play the guessing game!!" No. The thought of a calm Mori-senpai and high-spirited Hunny-senpai appeared on her mind. "Haru-chan! Let's play, let's play!" No. The thought of Kyoya-senpai's cold, judging eyes, hidden evil grin and the skills that he could see right through everyone. "What's the matter, Haruhi?" Not even close. Now, why would they be thinking of her at this moment? Haruhi suddenly smiled to herself; she was actually thinking of them and probably, they were doing the same thing, too.
Why do I feel something's not right is going to happen? I just had this odd feeling squirming inside of me. Haruhi sighed and looked at the sky; she was hoping it would not be another bad weather coming up. Then, she finally laid back to sleep. No, I must be tired. I should get some rest or I won't be able to review well for tomorrow. She closed her eyes and hoped that she could at least get some decent sleep since she had an exam for the next day.
Tamaki gets up early the next morning; he could not wait what would happen with his sudden wish yesterday. His eyes were gazing at the azure clear sky as the thought of Haruhi being with him forever puts him into one of his fantasies.
He and Haruhi were at the garden, where the whole host club were playing hide and seek at the moment. His hands were holding Haruhi's; never wanting to let go of it. Haruhi was gazing Tamaki with a timid expression on her face. "Don't worry Haruhi, they won't find us."
"S – Senpai?"
"Yes, my dear daughter?" Tamaki turned to Haruhi and looked at those beautiful eyes.
"I wanted to be like this forever, to be with you this close and to..." Haruhi looked away; her face slightly burning up. Tamaki held her chin and drew his face closer to her. "Yes, dear, and what else do you want us to be?" He held her waist and drew her near him. Her hands touched his pounding chest and slowly, she closed her large eyes and waited for him to kiss her.
Tamaki was about to kiss her when there was a knock by the door. "AARRGGHH!" Tamaki yelled. He was so close in reaching those lips. His eyes were so close to tears when he turned to the door. The maid did not enter, instead she spoke in her gentle voice, "Ohayou, Tamaki-sama, breakfast is ready. You may eat once you are finished with what you are currently doing." Tamaki suddenly flushed upon hearing the maid's words.
"I – I'll be right there." Tamaki said distractedly. He pushed the door close and pressed the lock. Then, something caught his attention; something glistening was floating in midair on his table. It was his wishing rose. He looked underneath it if something was making it float. He even waved his hands under the rose as if checking if there was some trick; but there was nothing. It was floating and rotating all by itself. Tamaki's heart suddenly thumped upon remembering his wish yesterday. He was so excited on what would happen with him and Haruhi that he accidentally stepped on his mobile phone and slipped.
OUCH!!
Then, his mobile phone was vibrating; it seemed his feet had pressed a number to be called. He grasped his phone abruptly to end the call; however, he was astonished to find out whose number it was. It was Haruhi's. A calm, little voice answered on the other line, "Hello, Senpai? What's the matter? Are you going to ask me to buy some commoner products for the host club?"
Tamaki gulped before he could speak.
"Senpai? Hello?"
"Ah, Ha – Haruhi,"
"Yes, Senpai? I'm quite busy this time so get on with what you are supposed to say." Haruhi said in a hurry.
Tamaki's chest was struck by an arrow all of the sudden. Haruhi was so frank when she was busy doing something; she does not want anyone disturbing her in her studies. "Y – Yes – I mean, no, it's not for the host club that I called you for. It is about – yo – no, it is about the rose – ah, yes, the magical rose that we both received. Did you make a wish already?"
Tamaki heard Haruhi sigh on the other line. He became so tense in hearing her that he started to bite his nails. "No, I haven't. Senpai, are you sure this is important? I still have to study for my exam today."
"Well, y – yes of course it's important. Daddy wants you to keep a secret." Tamaki said nervously.
"A secret?"
"Y – Yes, about the rose. Don't mention it to the rest of the family. They would not understand what they don't see." Tamaki said. "It's just between us, if they ask you about what I received from the old lady that night then pretend that you did not see anything as well."
"Why should we keep it a secret when they can't even see it?"
"Uh –" Tamaki was speechless; Haruhi had a point. "Well, just to be sure! If they noticed something fishy then, just act normal."
"Alright," Haruhi said. Just to calm him down, I'd agree. "Uh, senpai? Have you wished for something already?"
Tamaki froze upon hearing Haruhi's question. "I – well – I haven't eaten yet. I think I hear my maid calling me for breakfast. See you at school, Haruhi and keep our secret, okay? Daddy will be proud of you if you keep it." Then, he ended the call.
How weird. Haruhi placed her mobile phone down and looked down on her notes once again. She could not afford to waste time for nonsense.
The host club had already started and Haruhi was nowhere insight. Tamaki kept turning his head whenever the door of the 3rd Music room opens until it almost crack.
"What's the matter, my lord? Waiting for someone?" Kaoru asked as he and Hikaru placed their arms on Tamaki's shoulders.
"N – No, not really," Tamaki lied; he took a sip on his cup of coffee to hide his anxious expression. What's keeping Haruhi for so long? He could not even think what the rose would do to keep them together, forever.
"I haven't seen our toy today, have you Kaoru?"
"No, I haven't. She is late."
"PFFFT!!!" Tamaki spat the coffee on both of the twins.
"Hey, that's disgusting. Why did you do that for?"
"Yeah, you got us all dirty! Hey, Kaoru, he's running away!"
"Come back here!" the twins yelled in unison. The two jumped on Tamaki when the door swung open; "Uh, hi, sorry, I'm late, minna."
"Oh, it's Haruhi-kun! Kyaa!" the girls started to gather around Haruhi. Tamaki's heart leaped upon hearing her small voice. It was finally his Haruhi. He was facing the floor; he pushed away the twins over him but they would not budge. Hikaru was sitting on him while Kaoru was holding his feet. He struggled like a worm until he was closer to Haruhi's feet. "Senpai? What are you doing down there?" She noticed that the twins were bullying Tamaki. "Aw, let him go you two. I think he had enough."
"Haruhi, Haruhi, I'm glad you're finally here. Daddy's been worried you were stuck with your exam." Tamaki held her hands and swayed it like the two of them were children.
"Senpai, you do know that I will still go here even after I have taken the exam." Haruhi grunted. Tamaki released her hands gently; however, something was wrong. As Tamaki looked at Haruhi's hands and his, it seemed inseparable. Tamaki noticed something fell down from his pocket; it was a petal.
