Everyone: &bows& Arigato!

Michieru Berujironu 2009-01-26 . chapter 9

Annoying even as a child... I pity Kyouya... But, on the other hand, as a child, he's now the appropriate age for it, so I suppose it warrants cuteness... Now if only my brother would grow up

TamaChan: a-annoying? &sniffle&

Kyouya: At least someone understands me

Me: I agree with Michieru-san about the brother thing, mine is four and a little hyper, funny ball of energy and I love him with all my heart, especially since I hardly get to see him, but he's a pain in the neck sometimes…

Honey: Eh?! Kurumi-chan doesn't get to see her brother often?! Gomennasai! &hugs me&

Me: &smile, pats Honey's head& Thanks Honey-senpai

TamaChan: &presses a finger to his lips, outs slightly, looks down at the floor, fidgets& I wanna hug too…

Honey: &ears prick up slightly&

TamaChan: &looks up to Kyouya& Kyou-kun…?

Kyouya: &looks down& Hm?

TamaChan: &holds up arms& …Hug?

Honey: &ear grows larger&

Kyouya: &raises brow& Why?

Honey: Tama-chan! &pushes me away and rushes in between Kyouya and TamaChan& I'll hug you!

TamaChan: &sparkles& Really?!

Honey: &almost faints& K-kawaii…

Memory Lost, Love Gained

Chapter 10: Toy Nuisance

"Mary had a little lamb, little lamb! Mary had a little lamb, who's fleece was white as snow!" Kyouya twitched as Tamaki sang this, before the predicted reply was heard.

"squak! Marry had a little lamblittlelamb! Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow!"

"Good job, Tanya!" Tamaki giggled, petting the toy, before he kissed it on it's beak. The toy squawked but did not repeat, a slight pink tint coming to it's cheeks. "Yay! You learned not to copy when I said your name!"

"Yay! You learned not to copy when I said you name!" it copied, making Tamaki giggle again.

Kyouya mentally groaned. This had been going on for the past three hours, and his patience was waring thin.

"Tamaki…"

"Isn't she great, Kyou-kun?!" Tamaki exclaimed, sparkly eyed as he stared lovingly at the toy.

"Isn't she great, Kyou-kun?!" it copied, making Tamaki coo and scratch it under it's chin, much to Kyouya's annoyance.

"It's time to put the toy away. It's almost time for your nap." Kyouya replied, not commenting on the toy's worth. Tamaki pouted, finally looking away from the toy.

"But-"

"But-"

"No buts." Kyouya said, picking up the…thing and turning it off, before setting it on a high shelf. "Get to the room. If you hurry, I might actually give you hug." When Kyouya looked over his shoulder, he could see the far and distant figure of the chibi running towards their room. Chuckling slightly, Kyouya soon followed after Tamaki, unaware of the terror that would happen soon.

Tamaki's Waking Time

Kyouya looked to his watch at the gentle beeping, a book in his other hand while he did so. Bookmarking the page, he stood an d began to head towards their room.

"Tamaki," he began, eyes closed as he opened the door. "You nap is over, you-" he stopped as his eyes opened and he saw something… disturbing. The toy… the thing, on the bedside table on Tamaki's side of the bed, facing the tossled and gently snoozing tike.

"Mnf…" Tamaki murmured, blinking open his eyes, and sitting up, sleep bubbles floating around his head as he rubbed his eyes. "Kyou-kun…" he whispered tiredly, before he yawned and stretched, making the left side of Kyouya's hardly used night shirt slip down slightly, revealing slightly rosy skin. It was then that Kyouya noticed he had been, oddly, staring at that revealed bit of skin rather intently, and he quickly adjusted his glasses and berated himself with angered words. "Ah! Tanya!" Kyouya looked back to see Tamaki hugging the toy to him and petting it's head gently. "You came to see me!" he then pecked it on the beak. Kyouya watched as it's cheeks darkened slightly. Odd.

"…Tamaki, did you get your toy from the shelf?" he questioned as he approached the chibi. Tamaki looked up and blinked, before he shook his head.

"Iie." He then smiled and lifted the thing up. "She came to me, Kyou-kun!"

"…" Kyouya stared at the toy for a long moment, before he thought he saw it narrow it's eyes at him.

'What the-'

"Snack time, Kyou-kun!" Tamaki chirped, wriggling out of bed, the shirt falling just below his calves. Kyouya's left eye twitched. Lately, he had been paying more attention to how Tamaki looked, walked, talked, moved, everything. And it was getting on his nerves. Especially since he didn't know why he was paying attention to Tamaki in such a manner… especially since he was only six at the moment.

"Kyou-kun?" Kyouya blinked and refocused his gaze to find Tamaki standing right in front of him, holding his toy up to him. "Can you turn Tanya back on? I miss her talking to me…" he said sadly. Sighing, Kyouya took the toy and turned it back on.

"You really need to learn how to do it yourself…"

"Squawk! You really need to learn how to do it yourself!" Kyouya's eye twitched as the toy copied him once it was safely back in Tamaki's arms. As expected, Tamaki giggled.

'Damned bird…' Kyouya thought, clenching his fist as he followed Tamaki.

"Damned bird!" the toy squawked, making Tamaki smile, not knowing what it meant, and Kyouya pause a moment. He… hadn't said that aloud… had he? His eyes darted to the toy as he continued walking. Suspicion filled him as the eyes glinted..

*

"Ahh!" the twins whined, giving Kyouya puppy dog eyes. "Come on! Let's go!"

"Absolutely not." Kyouya replied non chalantly, continuing in typing on his laptop, Tamaki sitting not far off and showing his toy to the others. "I have no intention of going to another beach, nor do I have any intention of leaving the work I need to continue with." He continued, making the twins puff out their cheeks in annoyance.

"But Shadow King-"

"No. You may take Tamaki if you like, I need time away from him anyway" the two sighed, wanting both to come, about to give up, when they heard the Shadow King's typing stop momentarily. Looking up, they Saw the Vice President of the club looking towards something. Raising their brows, they also glanced, and blinked when they saw the adorable sight of Tamaki playing with his new toy innocently, giggling and smiling and talking, making Kuma-chan interact as well. Looking back at the Shadow King, a plan began to form in their minds as, fleetingly, almost nonexistent, a smile curved the Ootori's lips, before he returned to his work.

"Ahh…" they sighed again, leaning away from each other. "And just when we-" began Hikaru.

"Wanted to try out a new swimsuit on-" continued Kaoru.

"Tama-chan!" at the sound of the key typing stopping, they both smirked, not facing the elder. "Oh, well…"

"… New swimsuit?" Kyouya questioned them, making them grin at each other.

"Hai!" they chorused, looking over their shoulders at their still sempai. "With frills-"

"And lace-"

"Perhaps a two piece Kaoru?"

"Oh, yes, Hikaru! It'll be adorable!" they conversated back and forth, before they heard a bang on Kyouya's desk, making them inwardly high five each other.

"You…" they turned fully around to look curiously at Kyouya, and both blinked to see the other's glasses fogged up.

'Eh?' they thought in unison.

"…You are not to degrade him in such a way." Kyouya continued, taking off his glasses and wiping them off on his shirt. "Tamaki, is not your play thing. Haruhi is." Slipping them back onto his nose. "When he has returned to his normal age, you may do with him as you please, but right now, when he is defenseless and doesn't know how corrupt you are, you are not to lay a finger on him in any vulgar means." His glasses flashed, a dark purple aura surrounding him. "Understood?"

"H-hai…" they stuttered, sweating profusely. "But wouldn't you think he'd look k-kawaii, sempai?" they offered, and as the other opened his mouth, they prepared themselves for a dark retort.

"Yes! Very much so! Squawk!" the twins blinked, their eyes darting down to the boy and toy suddenly next to them.

"…Eh?"

"Kao-kun! Hika-kun!" Tamaki chirped, raising up Tanya and setting her on Kyouya's desk. "What are you talking about?"

"…Ah…" the two glanced to Kyouya, who had paled and was now staring at the toy in almost completely masked shock. What was wrong with him?

"… Beach?"

*

Kyouya sat silently in the room that was meant for himself and Tamaki, his eyes trained on the toy… more like devil sitting on the bed. Having come to the beach immediately after the twins's words, the bird hadn't failed to spout other things that he had been thinking. Constantly he might add. Everything that he thought to questions that he answered untruthfully, the bird thing, when close, would say exactly what he hadn't wanted to say. The damned thing was possessed. Why wasn't he surprised? And of course, most of them were about Tamaki, which made it even worse.

"Kyou-kun!"

"Oof…" suddenly, Kyouya had been tackled from behind by an excited six year old, clad in trunks and not a bathing suit, now giggling and cuddling on his back.

"Today was fun! Ne?" Kyouya was silent a moment, before he answered,

"Not really…"

"Eh? Kyou-kun didn't have fun?!" Tamaki exclaimed, making a chill rush up Kyouya's spine which he had learned meant that his charge was going to cry.

"Tamaki…" he sighed in annoyance, sitting up and letting the young hiccupping and now wailing boy slide gently to the bed. Turning around, he sat in front of the distressed other and said, "It wasn't… all bad." He muttered, and felt relief as the other stopped wailing. Tamaki looked up at him, his eyes sparkling from the tears, lips, gentle and a sweet pink, poised in a slightly pout, his cheeks gently flushed, asked,

"R-really?" Kyouya stared down at him a moment, his heart picking up it's pace slightly, before he nodded slightly.

"Right."

'He's so… I can't even explain it.'

"He's so… I can't even explain it!" Kyouya froze at the sound of the blasted bird. Damn it!

"Eh? Tanya? You're saying the wrong things again…" Tamaki said, crawling over to the toy and waggling his finger at it. "No, no." he scolded gently, sighing gently as if Tanya was hopeless.

"How cute! Sqwuak!" Kyouya clenched a fist as his next though was spoken. Tamaki blinked, before he looked to Kuma-chan, as if suddenly hearing something.

"Huh? It is?" he questioned. "Really? But-" he paused, as if listening to the stuffed animal speak. His eyes began to sparkle, and Kyouya's left eye twitched as that face was turned to him.

"…Nani?" he questioned.

"Kuma-chan says… That Tanya is copying your thoughts, Kyou-kun." Tamaki said, smiling up at a shocked Kyouya.

"…Eh?"

"Do you…" Tamaki looked down at the blankets shyly, before looking back up at Kyouya. "Do you really think I'm… cute?" he tilted his head to the side, fidgeting on the bed.

"…Ah…"

"Unfortunately, yes!" God damn bird!

"Oh Kyou-kun!" Tamaki explained, pouncing onto him and hugging him around the neck as they fell to the bed again. "I think you're cute too!"

'….Why me?'

"Why me?!" …Yeah, he's going to destroy that thing when they get home.
