Tears of disbelief filled Kagome's eye, and the only thing that came out of her mouth was Tamaki.
"Tama… ki…?"
Tamaki himself was no different from her. His eyes were wide, staring right at Kagome. His whole body was drenched in sweat, as his bangs fell messily over his forehead. He panted heavily. When he caught his breath, he breathed out her name.
"Kagome…"
Snapping out of his trance first, Tamaki ran as quickly as his legs would bring him to his childhood lover. Miraculously, judging by the speed he was going by, he never knocked anyone down.
Kagome could only bring shaky hands to her mouth, and take small hesitant steps toward him. Finally, finally believing it was her Tamaki, she broke free into a run. The small crystalline liquid from her eyes rushed behind her.
Both stopped at a hand's width from each other, trying to inhale and exhale without choking. Bringing her hand up, Kagome used the tips of her fingers to caress Tamaki's cheek, as if trying to determine if this was real or not.
Tamaki could only lean into the touch. 'I missed this…'
When Kagome was about to say something, Tamaki's hand immediately shot up and grabbed hold of hers. He tugged her whole form toward his, enveloping her whole body with his. Instantly, Kagome forgot everything she was about to say, and just snuggled her head into his chest, all the while just murmuring his name.
Suddenly, long slender fingers gripped her chin and gently lifted her head towards his; blue gray met clear blue. Both simultaneously leaned in with dazed looks in their eyes. Both were thinking on the same lines. 'How long has it been…?'
One centimeter was all that was separating both humans from lip to lip, and both Kagome and Tamaki closed their eyes. A sensation of pure warmth passed through each other when their lips met. Tamaki's thin smooth lip pressed gently against Kagome's own full ones as both her hands came up to softly grip his head. His long arms stayed around her waist. Tilting his head slightly, Tamaki slowly passed his tongue over Kagome's lips. She parted her lips slightly, but it was all Tamaki needed to slip his tongue in. He prodded her tongue with his, as if asking her to follow his tongue. Kagome could do nothing but follow.
When both were running out of oxygen, they broke the kiss reluctantly, still gazing at each other lovingly. Tamaki eyes traced downwards to her lips. They were red and swollen from the kiss he gave. He almost grinned and was tempted to give another kiss.
Tamaki gave into temptation and leaned forward to kiss her again. Blonde locks of hair met Kagome's own ebony ones, and they were going to lip lock again…
Sniff
Both stiffened when that sniffle reached their ear. 'Don't tell me…'
The whole cafeteria broke into applause, sobs, and 'did-you-see-how-romantic-that-was's. Both Tamaki and Kagome stood looking clueless around them. 'N-nani…'
All the host club members squirmed through the cheering crowd. All male members stared at Kagome before switching their stares at Tamaki. Haruhi opened her mouth to ask, "Ne senpai… who's this?"
Before Tamaki could answer for her, Kagome stepped out of Tamaki's arm, to which he frowned, and introduced herself.
"Konnichiwa! Watashiwa Higurashi Kagome desu. I hope we get along."
Every member was silent, until Hunny broke the silence.
"Your name is Kagome??!! That's a pretty name! Ne ne, Kagome-chan… do you like cake??"
A sign hung outside the third music room.
'The host club is closed today'
The whole host club sat in the large room talking and laughing. The only one that was silent was Tamaki.
"-and then I was like, Hikaru! What are you do-"
"Can I talk with Kagome alone for a few minutes?"
Everyone abruptly stopped whatever they doing, and glanced at Tamaki. It was strange seeing such a troubled look on their friend. Finally, Haruhi stood up and shoved everyone out the door. Giving a sheepish smile, she said, "Take your time". And the door closed.
Turning to Tamaki, Kagome asked, "Tamaki?"
Giving Kagome a serious look, "Did something happen Kagome? Why are here? I was going to get you in France." he asked.
Giving him a small smile, she answered him back. "Actually Tamaki, I came back to Tokyo two years after you left. I was looking for you, but I couldn't find you."
An image of Tamaki's grandma popped into his head. 'Doushite obaa-san…'
Glancing over to Tamaki's troubled face; Kagome took his hand, and spoke softly. "Demo… it's alright now right? It can be like the old times from now on, ne?"
Eyes softening, Tamaki reached over and gave her a slight squeeze on her hand. 'Arigato, Kagome'
Gasping out of nowhere, Kagome suddenly turned to look at Tamaki in an excited way. "Tamaki… I've never heard you play the piano in such a long time. Play for me, won't you?" Her eyes shone with hope and excitement, now resembling a child on Christmas morning. There was no way Tamaki could say no to that. Entwining his fingers into hers, he led her to the piano, right next to the seat he was going to playing in. Stretching his nimble fingers over the keys of the piano, he started playing a soft melody that immediately brought back memories. (The Éclair he no Tamaki from episode 24 :D)
At the moment Tamaki started playing, Kagome felt at peace. All her worries were washed away, and she slowly closed her eyes. Her head gently laid on his broad shoulders as the sunlight streaming from the windows clung around them. Tamaki gave a gentle glance to Kagome's direction, and remembered why he had actually liked piano.
-Flashback-
"Tamaki! Tamaki!"
Tamaki turned around to look at his best friend. "Hai, Kagome?"
"Are you free right now?"
And before Tamaki could actually answer, Kagome shouted a 'great' out and proceeded on dragging him to her home. Shaking his head and giving her a smile, Tamaki just let her drag him to wherever she was going.
-At Kagome's house-
"TAH-DAH"
"… Kagome… it's a piano…"
Shaking her delicate fingers at him, she ran her hand across the smooth surface of the instrument. "Otou-san use to say that using a piano, you could express yourself and make lots and lots of people happy!"
Casting a bright smile in his direction, "Your mommy said you learned lots of piano since you were little… can you maybe play a song? Okaa-san hasn't been home recently, and it's pretty lonely."
"Hai, Kagome… I'll play piano to make sure you'll never feel lonely again."
-End Flashback-
Smiling slightly, Tamaki was surprised when he heard Kagome start to hum to the melody, and closed his eyes with her.
Only the soft piano playing and gentle humming was heard from the third music room.
