And here goes nothing, the 26th Chapter!!!!!!!!!!!
26. The Revelation
It's been a day since I found out about these fee- no, there's something missing, about these disgraceful feelings towards the Shadow King and currently, I, Namikawa Akiko, is walking towards the Third Music Room without Tamaki or anyone.
I sighed as I looked at the outside, through the windows. It seems the sky is clear today, so there won't be storms at all, just like what happened 2 days ago...
"Eh? Aki-chan? It seems Tama-chan and Kyou-chan aren't with you."
I turned to see Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai, who were steps away from me,
"Ah, Hunny-senpai, Mori-senpai. Mori-senpai has no kendo practice today?" I asked as I turned to Mori-senpai, but he simply shook his head and I nodded.
"Sou ka..." I replied as I sighed once again,
"Neh, Aki-chan, Aki-chan, we'll go in first for the meantime. Please do come in when you're OK, already. Neh, Aki-chan?" Hunny-senpai asked me and how did he know that I'm feeling a bit under the weather, I was about to ask him when I noticed that he and Mori-senpai already went in the room.
Geesh... Actually, my problem is that, OK, I've accepted these preposterous feelings of mine towards Kyouya, but heck, I can't face him now. No, no, no. I really can't. Well, at class, I was able to, finally, concentrate in class, just so that I won't notice Kyouya or anything, but now, even in the Host Club, I really can't do anything so that I won't notice him. He'll always be there at the side with his laptop and files.
I sighed and massaged my temples. Geesh. These feelings of mine are becoming more and more troublesome for me, aren't they... And these feelings were caused by that damn shadow king. Uggghhh...
No matter what I say, I really, really can't face him. Nope. It's not that I'm scared of him, well, let's just say, I'm becoming more conscious. Ughhh.... Dang it...
"I really can't believe it, even if I already accepted it..." I said as I sighed,
"What is it that you can't believe when you've already accepted it, Akiko?"
Shoot. It can't be. I gulped and turned. And yes, it's none other than the Shadow King, himself, in his almighty darkness.
"K-Kyouya! W-What are y-you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be inside already?" I asked as I smiled nervously,
"This really might be one big problem of yours Akiko, to really stutter, now tell me." Kyouya said...
Shoot... How could he possibly know...
"W-What do you m-mean, Kyouya? I d-don't have any problem at all." I replied before chuckling nervously... I hope he bought it...
"Stuttering, eh? It's fine that you won't tell me, but don't let it bother your hosting. Now, now, let's go in." Kyouya said as he smirked,
"No. I don't want to. I want to skip. I'll be hosting tomorrow. I have to get home ASAP. OK? It's really, um, important for me to go home." I replied as I looked away while my cheeks seemed to be burning,
But then, it seemed Kyouya raised my head with his hands, which really made my cheeks burn...
"You seemed to be sick, anything wrong, Akiko? Unless..." He smirked,
Shoot. He can't possibly know and notice at the same time, right?
"Unless what, Kyouya?" I demanded for answers right away.
"Unless, nevermind. I'll tell you when you can host. But then, it seems you have to go home. So, next time, it is. I'll just tell Tamaki and the others about your condition that you have to do something important. Well then, I'll be going in now, Akiko." Kyouya said before smirking
Damn this Shadow King. what is he thinking and such? Is he just toying with me. I'll really get him!!!
UGGGGHHH!!!
But first, I have to go home or else I will be really, realyl suffering from this 'sickness'.
I took out my phone and contacted Jiyo-san to pick me up. Seriously, this thing is really, really troublesome... I wonder what I'll have to do so that I can kill time...
Yes! I can practice my violin and piano so that I won't be doing bad on the recitals. Yup. That's it.
I sighed as I saw my chauffeur arrived.
Normal POV
A couple of minutes passed and Akiko arrived to the Namikawa Mansion Number 2, where she was greeted by Kyouko,
"Kyouko-san." Akiko called the old woman,
"Hai, Akiko-sama? Doushite desu ka?"
"I'll just be upstairs in the music room. Make sure nobody bothers me, as I will have to practice for my recitals, which would be soon." Akiko told the old woman, who just nodded and replied,
"Hai Akiko-sama. Would you want some snacks?"
"Hai. Please do." Akiko said as she was about to go up the stairs,
She sighed and went inside her room and changed into casual clothes: t-shirt and some shorts, she tied her hair to a ponytail and walked outside her room to go up to the Music Room.
As soon as she arrived to the room, she instantly looked for her music scores and did her exercises. And then, chords, arpeggio, and then, finally her pieces: Prelude No. 1 from Well-Tempered Clavichord by Bach and Serenade by Schubert.
And as soon as she finished Serena, she heard claps from a crowd, who probably went in when she was busy playing her pieces: The Host Club.
"Mi-minna! H-How did you get in!" Akiko asked as she stood up and being shocked at the same time,
"I didn't know my daughter also played the piano like me!!! You must have taken your father's genes in music!" Tamaki said as he tried to hug Akiko, who jumped at the last minute,
"Why Akiko!" Tamaki said as Akiko sighed,
"Aki-chan! Aki-chan! Are you sure, you're OK? We were all worried of you since you skipped Hosting and decided to go home, and so we decided to visit you!" Hunny said as pheromones appeared,
"Daijyoubou desu, Hunny-senpai. Daijyoubou. I just wanted to rest. And I had to practice since my recitals are near already." Akiko said as she then realized what she said about her recitals.... 'Shoot...'
"Eh? Senpai's gonna play in a recital?" The twins chorused,
"Hai, apparently, so if you'll excuse me, I still have to practice on playing my violin." Akiko said as she shoo'ed the hosts and she just realized that she told them about her playing violin. 'Double shoot...'
"Eh? My daughter also plays the violin? Sugoyi!!!! Daddy wants to listen!" Tamaki said as Akiko sighed in frustration,
"OK. I'll only play once, but after this, you go shoo-shoo. OK?" Akiko said as the others nodded,
"Good. Now, I'll just play hmmm... Come Back To Sorrento." Akiko decided as she took her musical score and rubbed rosin on the bow, and she postured herself and played her piece.
And at the end, she saw the other hosts namely: Tamaki, the twins and Hunny in tears.
"OK, now that I've finished playing on my violin, you a-" "AKIKO!!!!!!!!~"
A wailing voice was heard through the door as Akiko's eyes widened.
"Ugghhhh.. Kami... What did I do to deserve this..." Akiko muttered as she sighed in frustration while Kyouya just smirked,
"AKIKO!!~ I heard some pieces and I thought you were play-... Who are these guys, young lady?"
A wailing to a serious voice was heard as Namikawa Akira went in the Music Room.
"Ah, Otou-sama... Konbanha nassai. These are my clubmates from my school, just like Kyouya." Akiko replied as she rolled her eyes as she placed her violin back to the case, "Minna-san, my Otou-sama, Namikawa Akira." Akiko added as she filed her music scores,
"Haninozuka Mitsukuni, Morinozuka Takashi, the twins of Yuzuha-san, my, my, Kaoru, Hikaru, and then, Kyouya, I see that you're here, as well. Pardon me for not acknowledging you earlier. Yuzuru-san's son, Tamaki and this must be Fujioka Haruhi, if I am not wrong, Kyouya?" Akira asked Kyouya as Akiko stood in shock,
"H-How did you know... How could I forget, your acquaintances... but how did you know, Haruhi?" Akiko asked as she pointed her father,
"B-But then, Akiko never told me about how things are doing in her school." Akira said as he pouted,
"Well, it's bothersome to tell you." Akiko said as she rolled her eyes while the rest of the host club were sweatdropping from what was happening in front of them.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I will be going to the next Music Room, and so, I wish no one would disturb me as I will be practicing." Akiko said as she fumed outside with her musical score sheets and the door was closed,
"It's quite good that Akiko is already playing her piano and violin." Akira's voice turned into serious while everyone went "Eh?",
"You see, I'm actually worried about Akiko, because eversince her Okaa-sama died, she never played those instruments again. Aside from which, she never did anything that made me worried. Sure, she might be demanding and quite weird, but all she did were just minor things and never on the major problems. In fact, she tries her best to stay independent at all times, just like when she decided to move to Namikawa Mansion#2, wherein I tried persuading her to go back to the Main Mansion." Akira said as he sat down on the couch,
"But then, no, she said that she won't change her mind in that matter. That child before her Okaa-sama died, was the most cheerful, gleeful and happiest girl you will ever see, but then, that image shattered when her Okaa-sama died. Until now, she blames herself for the death of her Okaa-sama."
"Eh? Doushite desu ka, Namikawa-san?" Haruhi asked,
"From what my sources told me, Namikawa Mitsuko-san, was killed from a car-accident due to malfunction of the engine." Kyouya said as he pushed his glasses,
"Yes. It is a malfunction of the engine, but then, that day was also the day of Akiko's recital back when she was in Elementary." Akira said as he stood up from his seat and looked at a picture frame by the cabinet,
"Mitsuko was rushing to the recital of Akiko from work and then, with that the engine had a malfunction and so, Mitsuko died. And until now, Akiko kept on blaming herself." He added as he took the frame and looked at it more closely.
"I never knew about that story..." The hosts said as they heard a knock from the door,
"The other music room was being cleaned so I have no choice but practice here. And so, I want absolute silence. OK? Absolute silence." Akiko demanded as she glared at them,
"But then, what took you so long, Akiko-senpai?" The twins asked,
"Ah. The next Music Room is 2 floors away. It's quite far." Akiko said as she sighed and opened the piano,
And she played the piano wherein Tamaki querked up and said, "Fur Elise by Beethoven?"
"Hai." Akiko replied as she continued playing,
"Yare, yare, I'll just be going out for the meantime. I'll be downstairs." Akira said as he stood up, satisfied that his daughter had lots of shoulders to depend on.
"Hai Otou-sama." Akiko said as she nodded and Akira left,
"Aki-chan, what's that piece?" Hunny asked as he went near,
"Oh? This? Tulip. I played this during my recital back in Elementary." Akiko said as she frowned,
'Shoot...' was what went on towards the hosts' minds, while Kyouya just sighed,
"Eto, Aki-chan, Usa-chan already said that Usa-chan wants to go home. So, we'll see you tomorrow. Ja!" Hunny said as he stood up as he was sitting beside Akiko and Akiko said, "Ja, Hunny-senpai, Mori-senpai." and the two seniors left,
"Eto, anou... Senpai, I really have to go home now, because Otou-san might be home already and I still have to prepare our dinner. Mata ashita Akiko-senpai." Haruhi said,
"Matte Haruhi! I also have to go home now, I'll be bringing Haruhi back to her house." Tamaki said as he followed Haruhi,
"Ah!!! We'll be the one to bring Haruhi home, tono! Ja, Akiko-senpai!" The twins chorused as they left the room, leaving Akiko and Kyouya.
"Akiko..."
