The Third Music Room was really an interesting place. I had forfeited studying to come and watch The Host Club as they entertained their guests. Today they had animals in pens which were scattered over the floor. I realised that all the different hosts stayed near different animals. The twins for instance, took a liking to the mice, probably because they could place them on people's shoulders and scare them. Tamaki mostly stayed near the dogs, Honey and Mori were all over the place and Kyoya was sitting at a table near the cats.
The free hours were about to end and all the students would be going home. The room emptied as the clock chimed. The room was silent, other than the sound of Kyoya's pen scratching over the pages in his notebook.
"Ahhh," Tamaki sighed, as he sat in one of the plush love seats scattered about the room "it feels nice to sit after a long day of work." The Twins were immediately leaning on the chair.
"You call this work?" they said "I bet commoners like Haruhi have seen harder. I bet her hands get rubbed to the bone by washing all her clothes by herself." the Twins said, their hands coming up to their foreheads as if they were going to faint.
"Come on guys," Haruhi said "I have a washing machine; I don't do it by hand."
"That's too bad," they said "otherwise you'd have some killer calluses." their gaze turned to me.
"What about you?" the Twins skipped over and examined my hand "Do you have any? You lived like a commoner, right?" I pulled my hands away from them, though I couldn't say I didn't like the feeling of them holding my hand again.
"I don't have any calluses that I know of," I said, then reconsidered, and showed them my hands again. "Well, I have this one," I said, pointing to the third finger on my right hand "it's from writing with a pen." I said, even though I knew they would have one too, they were still enthralled with the small bump on my finger.
Kaoru took my left hand, and scratched the tips of my fingers. "What did you get these from?" he asked.
"Oh," I said "I play the cello; you get calluses from pushing down the strings." I said.
"Wow, we didn't know you played an instrument!" they said. I smiled, remembering the feeling of playing the cello. It was so relaxing to me, listening to the music I played, especially when I was sick. I wished that I could play my old, beat up cello again. Sadly, as I had flown and then rode my bike to get here, I hadn't had room to bring it.
I didn't have a decent case for it anyway.
"Takashi," Honey said sitting in a chair near Mori, tears started to fall down his cheeks. "Takashi! I can't find Usa-chan!" I watched Mori disappear making a lap about the room, still not saying a word. Usa-chan? What was that? I remembered that I had never seen Honey without his stuffed rabbit. That must be what he was talking about. When Mori returned to Honey, he was empty handed.
"Did you find him?" Honey asked. I could almost see the tears on the brink of overflowing.
"No." Mori uttered, causing the tears to break free and fall in rivers down Honey's cheeks.
"Usa-chan is lost?! Then we must find him!" Tamaki cried, leaping up from his chair, his hand pointing up into the air like he was in command or something.
"Not up here!" the Twins shouted, hanging from one of the chandeliers. How did they even get up there?
"Not under here," I heard Haruhi say, she was leaning over to look under the chairs.
"WHAAAA!" Honey cried. Mori picked him up and put him on his shoulders.
"Look for him up there." he said, and Honey made an effort to look for Usa-chan.
They searched the room, but Usa-chan wasn't there. Tamaki slumped in a chair, looking defeated.
"Hey look! There he is!" the Twins shouted from the window, we all rushed over to see Usa-chan in the jaws of a dog running toward the hedge maze.
I recognized the dog from that morning. The host club had paid for the best and cutest of the breeds -dogs and cats- to be there to entertain their guests. That specific one had had a knack for stealing things.
"Quick! After it!" Tamaki shouted and we all ran to the door, I ran along with them, feeling a little embarrassed as we ran through the halls. I looked behind me and noticed that Kyoya wasn't with us.
Perhaps he had tripped or something...
We exited the front doors just in time to see the dog disappear into the maze. We ran after it and came to the entrance of the maze; only then noticing that we had no idea which way the dog had ran. I looked around, wondering if it had gone into the maze at all.
Kyoya appeared as if out of thin air.
"How did you get here so fast?" I asked "You weren't running with us." he smiled, pushing his glasses back into their rightful position.
"I came down the servants' staircase," he said, pointing to a small door to the edge of the building "I wouldn't want to embarrass myself by running through all those halls filled with the children of the influential class." I should've guessed, always out for his own gain.
"USA-CHAN!" Tamaki yelled.
"He's a stuffed animal." the twins pointed out "it's not like he can hear you."
Honey, still on Mori's shoulders, pointed out into the maze.
"There he is!" he said, Tamaki immediately ran off in the direction that Honey had pointed. The Twins followed, skipping along together. Mori took off with Honey, and I was suddenly left alone with Kyoya. He started walking in the opposite direction then they had gone.
"Come on," he said, gesturing for me to follow "those idiots went the wrong way. This way will be quicker."
"Do you have a map or something?" I asked as I ran a little to catch up.
"No, any maze is easy to figure out once you think about It." he said, I had a feeling he was somehow insulting me. "Anyways, this is a maze that's made to be walked through," he said, "not to get lost in." he smiled.
"Do you come often then? You seem to know a lot about it." I said. He shook his head.
"No, I don't." the sunlight glinted off his glasses again, making a shield over his eyes. We dissolved into silence.
The maze was beautiful, roses of all colors adorned the maze walls, and the sunlight lit upon them in a way that made them seen almost ethereal, their delicate petals almost translucent in the sunlight. I was suddenly aware that Kyoya and I might look like a couple to hidden eyes. A lot of couples would come through here. Kyoya seemed totally at ease, perhaps he didn't realize, if he had, I was sure he'd want to destroy that apparition as quickly as possible.
I heard a dog barking. Kyoya and I hastened our pace. We turned a corner to see Tamaki trying to grab Usa-chan out of the dog's mouth.
"Drop it!" he said, and waited for the dog to obey, but it just continued to growl at him "you untamed beast! Do you not see me as your master?" he demanded.
"It probably thinks you're some kind of rabid monkey." the Twins said, watching from the sideline. Tamaki ignored their comment and made a grab for the rabbit. The dog dropped it to bite his hand.
"OOOOOOOWWW!" he yelled scampering backward. Mori put Honey onto the ground, and in one swift movement picked the dog up by the scruff of its neck.
"Drop it." he said, the dog quickly obeyed. "Good dog." he said while putting it back on the ground. Honey leaped forward and grabbed Usa-chan, hugging it to his chest, everyone seemed happy that he'd found it.
"Have you all forgotten about me?" Tamaki demanded, "I'm bleeding!" he wailed. Haruhi came over and looked at his hand.
"You're fine, Sempai. It didn't even pierce the skin. Come on." she said pulling Tamaki to his feet. He trotted behind her as we made our way out of the maze.
"when we get back," Honey said. "we should eat cake!"
