Chapter Twenty-Nine "Ouran Festival of Romance"

Author: Well fans, just one more chapter to end it all, but I'd thought I'd make the last two the best two…before I head into my sequel, which I might give some quotes from it in the last chapter or something. Please enjoy my up date like normal. ^^

Point of View: Third Person

Quite and small and yet lonely. Two people side by side, confronting each other. Like small child learning life. They sleep close and warm, enjoying each other's company. These two have come to an end, one is sure of their feelings and the other seems positive about theirs.

They wake up, the sun bright and luminous. The cool winds blow against their skin and the blank blow off them onto the soft velvet carpeting. Each is unsure what occurred last night. The only signs are each other, blankets and a pair of head phones lying on the ground. Outside seems wet and cold as rain drops drip from the balcony onto the stone floor below. Clouds still cover the sky, but not so much now.

One child wakes up, looking down at the flesh next to them. This child pats the other child and strokes the soft boyish hair and smiles happily. That child reaches out of bed and lifts the blanket, wrapping it around the waist. The child closes the door and still smiles, then gently heads down stairs to make breakfast for the both of them.

This child then grabs an average t-shirt, button up with a small red design on the collar and begins searching for food. The child then finds some pants and slips them on. Trying not to look, that child doesn't pay attention to that area and simply turns, trying to act disgusted with that area, but fails seeing how that body seems attractive to the child's mind. Grabbing a pan, eggs, butter and bread, the child begins making breakfast for the both of them.

Mean while up stairs, the other child slowly wakes up and looks over across the bed. The other partner isn't there. This child is shocked, but looks on the ground noticing the missing blanket. The child smiles and then changes clothes. Slipping on a dress with pink frills and slipping on some slippers, the child heads down stairs looking for the other partner. The child sees the other child make breakfast and decides to walk over, placing the hands over this child's eyes.

"Good morning," The child said with a charming smile as usual.

"Oh, good morning senpai. How'd you sleep last night?" This child asked in return.

"I slept decently. I was up all night making sure you got rest. The thunder storm kept you up. I wanted you to sleep well, so I pulled out a pair of head phones for you and turned them on while you slept. During the middle of the night we switched places again, so I moved the head phones and placed them on you, well, my body actually,"

"Tamaki senpai, you didn't have to do this. I do fine with out people helping me. I didn't need you staying up all night to make sure I got sleep,"

"But Haruhi, I did this because I care for you. You know that right? You're my daughter, my special daughter and I-"

Tamaki turned away from Haruhi and stumbled in thought. He looked not exactly red or pink, but rather normal flesh color still thinking on that romance love fantasy.

"Yes senpai?" Haruhi asked confused.

"Never mind,"

Tamaki left the area and went to watch some television. Haruhi only tilted her head and continued to make breakfast for the both of them.

Late last night Haruhi and Tamaki went to go get dinner as planned. As much as Haruhi tried to deal with Tamaki's bad cooking, she had to tell the truth the him. He smiled and nodded and took her out to a French restaurant, for as we know he is part French and he wanted to give her that social custom life style, but in food. Haruhi laughed at the thought and sat down at the table with him. They ordered several different meals, but both Tamaki thought she'd like. Haruhi tried them all and managed to swallow most everything.

As they were getting ready to go home, a terrible thunder storm hit. They didn't have a car and the phone lines were down. Haruhi shook with fear and Tamaki carried her. He remembered a small motel in the area and headed that way. After a good ten minutes, they arrived there and shared a room together. Tamaki instructed Haruhi to try and attempt sleeping and as much as Haruhi tried to, her eyes just wouldn't budge.

"Haruhi, how do you expect me to sleep when you can't sleep?"

"I'm sorry senpai. EEEK!" suddenly a stroke of lighting hit outside. "I just hate thunder and I can't concentrate on anything else,"

"It's ok Haruhi. We'll fine away through this…I promise,"

Haruhi nodded her head and lay in the soft white pillows of the bed. Tamaki looked over and rummaged through his school bags. He had his school outfit, his books, papers, pens, pencils, an ipod and a pair of heads to go with. He grabbed the ipod and a head phones out of his bag. He placed the end cord of the headphone into the jock and slipped the headphones over her head and into her eyes. He turned it on and a lovely song of him playing the piano filled her thoughts and ears.

"Tamaki…" She said and drifted into slumber.

"Hmm…Haruhi, you look like angel when you sleep. No matter how beautiful you are or no how many times girls fall over you, you're always my Haruhi. I've had this crush on you Haruhi, a little boy crush and I've always called you my little girl. There are times I told myself that your not my daughter, that you can't be my daughter. It's because, daddies can't love their daughter's like I love you. I know you can't hear me now, but there is something I have to say. Haruhi Fujioka, I love you more than anything. I see the light in you. I don't see you like a play toy or some random person, no. I see the true you hidden behind the male clothes. I want you to be happy Haruhi. This "curse" this curse of me being you and you being me can last a life time if it needs to be. If you don't love me I'll accept that, if you hate me I'll accept that and if you do love me than I'll treasure that! Haruhi, you mean the world to me and never forgot that. The song, the song you're listening to, don't forgot it. If something happens to me, remember that song. It's our song. It's the song you'll look back on and think of me. It's the song you'll tell your kids or our kids about. Haruhi, just keep me in your thoughts…no matter what happens because… I love you,"

The breakfast was done and served to them both. The table was quite and no one said a word. It was like a still scene, that perfect imagine, but no words or sounds could be heard. Tamaki slowly ate his food and Haruhi quickly ate hers so she could get ready and leave this place. The only thing currently on Haruhi's mind was the Ouran Festival. The time when parents come to see them at their best. However; this wouldn't exactly be Haruhi's best moment. Tamaki's grandmother would show up once again with Éclair and this time they know what happened between Tamaki and Haruhi. The only way for his grandmother to understand is if Tamaki announced how he felt to her. Tamaki needs to come out and speak openly, but he feels like he needs to hold back. He can't stand up to her and that means…she'll use him for her own self-less deeds.

"Haruhi…I'm not all that hungry. I'm sorry, it's just…I'd like to leave soon if that's alright with you?" Tamaki asked as her placed the fork on the plat.

"Yeah, I'm fine with that. If you can, can you clean up for me. I'm going to get dressed and start packing some things,"

Tamaki nodded and Haruhi headed up stairs to the room. She grabbed all their items and shoved them into the two bags they brought. She quickly made the bed and just sat on it, rather slumped and depressed. Her hand was folded under her chin and looking out into space.

"What am I going to do?" She said in thought. "The Festival starts today and thing won't go well. Tamaki's grandmother is sure going to embarrass Tamaki and I in front of every one and with Éclair there, things might turn ugly. If only she's understand him more. If she'd understand him and his feelings and every one else-no, that would never work,"

Suddenly Tamaki walked on up and looked at her weird. She stood up, grabbed the bags and dragged him down stairs. Tamaki complained and tried to grab onto certain objects, but was pulled away by his own strength.

"Sorry senpai, but we have to get to school soon. Every one is planning for tonight's event and we need to plan as well. Did you forget about last time senpai?"

Suddenly, Tamaki had that small flash back pop into his head.

"I think I have reason to. You have been lying to him, you know where his mother is don't you Éclair!?"

"Hmm, maybe I do and maybe I don't,"

"Don't lie to me. Tell him the truth!"

"Are you going to believe everything this commoner says dear? You don't have to listen,"

"Actually, I believe everything he says. I know you've been lying to me and every one in the room. It's time to confess. I left you because I knew what I had to do. You're a sweet lady, but a stuck up one like that. You only care about the wealth of your family and being able to take something special from some one else. I can see it in your eyes. You know I… I mean Haruhi is jealous and that was your goal, stealing me away from some one that I thought was precious. Know every one knows. So, are you going to tell me where my mother has been hiding or not?"

"Alright, you got. I will tell you. Your mother has been in France along. It's true, she went into hiding, but came back. I saw your mom and I was going to promise her to you, but you're a damn fool…"

"You monster! Get your filthy hands off her,"

"No grandmother, he has a right to. You're just as equally apart of this as she was. You were concerned with the family's wealth and that is what you wanted to protect. You wanted to make my life harder than I needed it to be. The only good thing that would have come out for me was seeing my mother,"

"No wonder why I never liked you. Éclair! We're leaving,"

"Senpai?" Haruhi said once again, waving her hands in front of Tamaki's face.

"Oh, what huh?" He shook the imagine out of his head and looked up at Haruhi. "Sorry Haruhi, just an old memory…is all,"

"It's alright. The school isn't too far now. It's less than a street away,"

"Really?" Tamaki said surprised.

Haruhi shook her head and he nodded. They could already see people setting up the area and yelling at each other. The grand Ouran Festival is the biggest event for them all and this year…the Ouran Host Club has a special event. Each member chooses that one special person to dance with and if they kiss that person, well, that means their love will last forever and besides, it's on special night. The Ouran Festival…is held on a night of lunar eclipse. When that moon turns black, that's when the member's chooses to kiss or let them be. All apart of Kyouya's and the twin's plans to get Haruhi and Tamaki together.

Tamaki and Haruhi had reached the school grounds now and went into the Third Music room. Each of the members sat there and looked at them strangely, all shaking their heads and pointing to the back room to change into their festival clothes. The only had one outfit this time, one unique outfit. The males had a tux, white, with head, but the tux can convert into a cape sort of outfit, a robe or a cloak. Haruhi's was different. It is a tux, but it has one feature. If a certain string is pulled and she is spun around, the tux with instantly become a white dress with red in it and a rose sewed onto the breast area and a small ribbon indicating the breast line. Haruhi and Tamaki stepped out of the changing rooms and each member nodded, pleased.

"Well senpai, everything happens tonight,"

"Hmm, tonight you say Haruhi. It all happens tonight,"

"Hmm, tonight sounds right," Kyouya said fixing his glasses.

"Yep, tonight!" The twins said smirking.

"Yay tonight!" Hunny said happily jumping.

"Hmm," Mori said and nodded.

"And it when it does happen…we'll be ready,"
