Hey! Welcome back! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter! So please enjoy this one and don't forget to review for the next chapter!
-=Tamaki=-
Tamaki waited in the back seat of his limo for a long time while they drove to his old high school. Every once in a while, his impatience overtook him and he would command the driver to drive faster. "Tamaki, you need to calm down, we'll get both Haruhi and the baby back." Kyoya told him. "This man has gotten on my last nerve," He spat out, leaning against his seat. Hunny held Usa-chan closer to his chest as he put a hand on Tamaki's knee.
"Don't worry Tama-chan, Haru-chan is okay, I can feel it. And if Ohro-chan wants to kill the baby in front of yours and Haru-chan's eyes, he's going to feed and take care of her and her baby." Hunny assured him. "I guess you're right, but still, I watched them both disappear in front of my own eyes. I froze, I could have grabbed her, pulled her away, but I froze, and now because of that her life is in danger." Tamaki replied.
"That's an interesting concept." Kyoya said. "But even if you didn't freeze, you wouldn't have been able to get to her in time. She would have disappeared by then." He added. "Sir, we've arrived." The driver said. In a second Tamaki was outside the car awaiting for the others at the gate. "Hurry up!" He commanded, "We need to move faster, time's running out!" The Host Club groaned as they stepped out of the car.
They arrived at their old club in minutes as they walked in. "Alright everyone, search the room for the next clue." Tamaki commanded as they split up. Tamaki pulled out the hint from his back pocket and unfolded it. He reread it. He read the part about the vase twice before turning to the table where it used to sit. He walked over and what now replaced the vase was an envelope. "Guys! I think I found it!" He called to the club before snatching it off the table, tearing it open.
"But Tama-chan, there's a letter on the piano, to!" Hunny exclaimed, running over with another envelope. "It seems we all found an envelope." Kyoya said, spotting an envelope in each of the men's hands. "Well, let's read them and decide together which one is the real clue." Tamaki replied. The group nodded and handed the letters to Tamaki. Tamaki began reading each one, starting with his first.
Tamaki,
Congrats, you figured out the easiest puzzle. However, this one will be much harder. There's more than one note, and half of them will tell you of Haruhi's condition, and half will tell you where the next clue is. This one will tell of Haruhi's condition. I'll say only two words: head injury.
Good luck, Suou.
Ohrochi.
"Head injury? What does that mean?" Hikaru asked. "It's obvious that Haruhi has sustained a type of head injury. Now read the next one Tamaki." Kyoya replied. Tamaki nodded, handing the letter to his best friend before tearing open the next one. He cleared his throat and began to read.
A place that always cold, with no wind. Two compartments store different types of foods. Search the room with marble tiles, you might be there for a while.
Good luck, Ohrochi.
"It's obvious that he's talking about a fridge." Kauru said. "Yes, now read the next one." Kyoya replied, snatching the letter from Tamaki. He nodded and opened the next letter.
One word: Memory.
Tamaki searched around the letter, trying to find something else. "Read the next one, idiot." Kyoya said as he grabbed the letter from Tamaki's hand so he could open a new one.
The loss of something great.
Tamaki raised his eyebrow at that one, but he just threw the letter to Kyoya and ripped open the next one.
A cold place that's almost frozen over. Hiding under Haruhi's craved food. Hey Tamaki, can you guess where I am?
"That one is simple. With Haruhi being pregnant, she's always craving corned beef with strawberries." Tamaki said, handing the letter to Kyoya and moving on.
Stuck in a place that cold and icy, under Haruhi's craved food, I'm sure I've made myself clear. Only Haruhi's closest friend would know where the letter was stuck.
"Well, that it. We know that the next letter is in a freezer. But what about Haruhi's condition?" Tamaki asked, grabbing the letters that explained his wife's health. "I would guess that she's had a type of head injury, but I don't get what he meant by great loss," Kyoya replied. "I got it!" Hunny exclaimed, pointing to the air. "Haru-chan must have had a head injury that made her lose her memory of us!" He said.
"Your right, Hunny!" Tamaki replied, standing up. "Wait… if she lost memory of us… wouldn't that mean that she lost memory of you to, Boss?" Hikaru said. With that, Tamaki's face went pale. "She… She doesn't remember me?" He asked in disbelieve. "We just need to work extra hard!" Hunny exclaimed. "Don't you worry, Tama-chan! We'll find Haru-chan!" He said. Tamaki shook himself out if grief as he stood up. "Hunny is right, we can't lose hope now." He said.
-=Haruhi=-
Haruhi was pacing around the room, rubbing the belly of her child. She tried to make sense of the memory she just saw. Her and Tamaki in Music Room 3, talking about memories, then getting engaged. She quickly looked down again to the wedding ring she wore on her finger that told her she wasn't dreaming. I married, Tamaki Suou? She thought, confused. Wait a minute, she thought again as she connected some dots.
I'm married, and I'm pregnant, so that means, unless I cheated on him, then Tamaki must be the father of my child! She sat down on her bed, looking at her belly. "I know that I need to do now," She told her child. I need to break out of here, tonight. With her mind made up, Haruhi laid back down on her bed, closing her eyes, and took three deep breaths. Hopefully I'll gain more of my memory like this, she though.
And sure enough, on her last breath, her world went dark and another flashback appeared.
-=Flashback=-
She just disappeared from Tamaki's home, and was now her old cellar. Soon, Ohrochi came down the stairs, making Haruhi rub her belly protectively. "Don't worry my pet," He said, placing a hand over her head. "Soon, you won't remember ever fearing me." And with that last sentence, her world went black as a flash of white light appeared. "Instead, you'll learn to love me." He said just before Haruhi's eyes closed.
-=End of Flashback=-
Haruhi's eyes flew open as she sat straight up in her bed. "So that's how I lost my memory," She said out loud. With her aching head, she knew she couldn't continue to look deeper in her mind for more clues. Instead, she began searching for a way to escape. A memory appeared in her head once more, of a poster. She recognized it, and quickly turned around. There it was, the same poster. She walked over and lifted it up.
Sure enough, there was a large hole there large enough to crawl through. At the end of the tunnel, she could see light. Bingo, she thought with an accomplished smile. She quickly fixed the poster as she heard the door open. She went back to her bed, sitting on it. A few seconds later, Ohrochi appeared. "Hello Haruhi Fujioka." He said. "That's not my name." She said. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Really? What is your name then?" He asked her. She took in a deep breath before answering. "My name is Haruhi Suou." She said, "And I'm not afraid of you." She added. "Really? It seems you have gained no memory for me then. What do you remember?" He asked. Haruhi took in another deep breath, "I remember getting married. And the Host Club as well." Haruhi replied. "And what else?" He asked. "I remember that Tamaki Suou is my child's father, and he will come for me." Haruhi added.
"Is that all?" He asked. "Yes." She replied, still brave. "Very well," He said as he threw in another piece of bread. "Eat." He commanded, Haruhi stood up and grabbed the bread before walking back to her bed. She ate the food and when she looked up, Ohrochi was smiling. "Alright then, it's time to sleep. I'm turning the lights out." He said before walking away and shutting off the light. Haruhi smiled, game on, she thought. We're getting out of here.
I hope you enjoyed this! Will Haruhi make it out of the cellar? All questions will be answered next chapter, so review for that! Bye!
