The Ninth: Awaken, Old Feelings! Part Three

'This plane ride is really long…' I thought on our way to the next destination. 'No one told me where we were going… WAIT, is that THE Eiffel tower?!?!' I tried to get my eyes as close as I could to the figure without leaving the plane. This was wonderful! We were going to France! I was so excited, I bounced around in my seat. The only thing is, I heard a room full of sighs.

"Milord found out already and we're landing. This is dangerous. He's gonna move us around so much that we're going to get in an accident." Hikaru and Kaoru said together.

"Well, we're in France and we're staying for a week, so why wouldn't he be excited?" Hunny said, before everyone else shushed him. But this news made me soooo happy! I went over to Hunny sempai and hugged him.

"Yaaaaaaaay!!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" I said. Hunny smiled at me, and then I forgot about Haruhi. I went over to her and hugged her.

"You're going to love mother! She's very pretty and she lives in this cute little cottage! And she has such a beautiful dog!" I said in delight. Haruhi just said nothing, I noticed. I looked at her, and I was about to ask what was wrong, then she pushed me down to sitting on the seat next to her. This was a shock, but then as I stopped moving for a little bit, everyone sighed. This made me sad, it even makes me sad thinking about how everyone did that. How could you all do that???? So then, I started moping, and I felt a hand on my back. I looked up, and I was Haruhi's. I blushed. Ever since then—that night. That was a strange night to me, and it felt like a dream. She walked on me…. in definatly the wrong clothing! A lady doesn't need to see that! And that hug… I've never gotten a hug from Haruhi.. even though she didn't hug me back, that was alright.

So, we landed in France, and I was sooooo excited! My mind was wandering in different directions! I got to show Haruhi where the best places were, where a lot of my memories took place, and the house I used to live in. I was so excited! Kyouya allowed us all to go to Mother's house. I thought 'Mother is going to be so pleased and everyone is going to have such a good time!' So we set on our way there, but we stopped at a lot of places , took pictures, and ate t some places I told Kyouya about n advanced. Even though the food was good, I really wanted to go see Mother! I made sure this was known, and Kyouya convinced me she'll still be there, and she already knows we're on our way. That felt great! But then I remembered grandmother… she didn't want me to see mother. I told Kyouya about this too, and he already set it up, and my father was taking care of it back home. I was so happy!

So then, we finally made it to mother's… I was jumping like a jellybean! I knocked on the door, everyone right behind me, as the door opened.

"Tamaki…! You're back!" I heard Mother say. I hugged her as soon as the doors opened.

"I'm so glad to see you… mommy!" I hugged her so much, and she hugged me back. I looked at her, and then she realized everyone behind me, and smiled.

"I see you brought some new friends along with you." Mother said. This made me realize how quiet mother always was. Hunny came from behind me and smiled. Oh, did I forget to mention that while I was wih mother, she learned Japanese thanks to dad sending us books and audio on how to speak Japanese?

"Hi! I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka!" Hunny said. The twins busted in.

"You can call him Hunny. I'm Hikaru!" Hikaru said.

"I'm Kaoru, nice to meet you." Kaoru bowed. Well, at least one of those twins show respect. Mother was hugging Hunny, then talked to the twins.

"I'm Tamaki's mother, nice to meet you too." She bowed too. Kyouya went in front of everyone and shook Mother's hand, she shook his hand, too.

"I'm Kyouya, I was talking with you on the phone." Mother nodded. "I hope you enjoy your son home." Kyouya lifted up his glasses. Then I realized Haruhi was in the back, and wasn't participating in all that excitement! So I brought her over to Mother.

"Mommy, this is Haruhi Fujioka! She's really nice and she is a really wonderful-" I stopped myself. I realized that I couldn't present Haruhi as 'daughter' anymore.

"…she is a really wonderful friend!" I said. That worked, as mom smiled.

"I'm glad to meet you, Haruhi. I know all about the misadventures that have happened, and I am really pleased to meet all of you in person. " Mother bowed. Everyone else bowed afterwards, but I had to ask.

" How do you know?" I asked Mother, and she stayed quiet. She soon let us in, and we all sat down. I noticed the piano in the middle of the room we entered.

"Mommy! You have this piano?" I looked at it, and I remembered it like old times. My mother smiled.

"Can I play it please?" I was bouncing around by now.

"As long as I can play with you." She said. I nodded, and we both sat down and played a piece from Mozart. I looked at my mother, and I showed her a piece of music from the movie we watched on our way to England, with that word in it. I showed it to my mother.

" Can we play this, please?" I looked at my mother. She smiled.

"Of course! Let's play it at our best! How about we try singing… if it's okay with your friends." She turned her head to Haruhi and the Host Club, and they all nodded. Mother turned around again and I turned it to the first page.

"Can we try it with a English accent…?" I asked her. But then Haruhi stood up.

"I can teach you both how to sign the song in English, the same language the original song is in." she said, and she smiled. She was, and is always so cute when she smiled!

"Of course, Haruhi! I would love to learn! Would you mommy?" I asked Mother.

"Of COURSE I would! I've always wanted to learn a little bit of English!" Mother had the same amount of enthusiasm as I did! So, Haruhi taught us to speak all of it in English, and tried to get us to use English accents, and we both succeeded, which surprised both of us. Oh, how Haruhi can do wonders! She is the one that makes many miracles happen, right before my eyes! She is amazing! Spectacular! I couldn't live without her! So after that lesson, we tried it.

"Because I was afraid to speak when I was just a lad…." The English language felt quite different on my tounge. It felt—unique, and it had it's own way of doing things…

"The biggest word I ever heard and this is how it goes…" My mother had the most beautiful voice. It could reach very high places and it could sometimes reach the low ones, too. Her voice was very special to me, one of the very best. I heard in the background Hunny singing the lyrics in English, and Mori humming. It was very wonderful they were getting involved.

There was one part when I heard Haruhi, saying it… Haruhi said it while Mother sang it.

"But better use it carefully or it could change your life." Which made me blush. She DID get what I meant those days ago. But then I heard Hikaru…

'For exampleOne night I said it to me girl, And now me girl's my wife!" Kaoru hit him on the head lightly. "Oh, and a lovely thing she is too!" the two started chuckling a little bit, while Mother, Hunny and I sang more.

By the end of the song, we were all laughing, and we all had smiles on our faces. It was so wonderful to see the host club have moments like this. Mother asked me something while we were all still laughing.

"You have a bunch of wonderful friends, don't you?" she asked. I nodded. These were all wonderful people, and this is what I thought was only the beginning of or laughs.

Mother and I then told everyone of stories of when we were 'The King and Queen of France', it was wonderful memories I was reminded of all those times and it was a wonderful time. We weren't even near done when the sun had almost set. So, my mother asked me

"Well, I don't have room for all of you, I only have room for Tamaki and someone else. Tamaki, your choice who you want to stay with us for the night." Mother smiled at me.

"Do they get a guest bedroom?" I asked.

"Yes they do." Mother smiled.

"Thank you for donating, this will greatly help us save money." Kyouya said. Mother nodded.

"I choose… Haruhi!" I pointed at her with the sweetest intentions in the world! My Haruhi was too cute! Blush spread all over her face for some odd reason….

"Then, we will be off. We will see you tomorrow to continue the discussion." Kyouya smiled as they left. Hunny said a "Goodbye!" before he left, and everyone else followed suit, then they left. I looked over at Haruhi, and Haruhi looked over to me. And for some odd reason, those seconds made me realize my feelings for Haruhi are stronger then ever, and blush flooded my cheeks…
