"So did you two have fun at the park yesterday?" asked Mr. Suoh the next day at the breakfast table.
"Yes we had a great time," said Tamaki.
"None of the rides were too much for you at all?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"What, no, not that bad," said Tamaki.
"Good morning," said Taeko walking into the dining room.
"Good morning Taeko," said Tamaki and his father.
"How are you feeling this morning Papa Tamaki?" asked Taeko as she sat down next to him.
"Hmm, not feeling well Tamaki?" asked his father.
"He got sick on some of the rides yesterday, including the rollercoaster," said Taeko.
"Oh did he?" said Mr. Suoh looking over at his son with a smirk, "Of course you never could handle wild rides as a child either. I remember taking you to some amusement parks when I visited you in France and you'd always seem to throw up on whatever ride you went.
"You did?" said Taeko.
"No," said Tamaki.
"Actually you did, even the slow moving rides. You probably just don't remember it because you were so little."
Tamaki groaned.
"Did you have a good time at the park Taeko?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"Yeah, we got to go on Cinderella's Carriage ride and we got to ride in a purple carriage! And then I was able to pull the sword out from the stone and became a princess! I even got a crown!"
"Well how nice, but I like to think we all ready knew you were a princess at heart," said Mr. Suoh.
"Yes that's true," said Tamaki rubbing her head.
"Thank you," said Taeko.
"So Taeko what would you like to do today?" asked Mr. Suoh, "We could go make a run on a candy store or a toy store if you'd like."
"Uh Father I don't know if that's such a good idea," said Tamaki.
"Why not, don't you think Taeko deserve something sweet or something nice?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"What no…," sputtered Tamaki.
"No, you don't want this young lady deserves something nice once in a while?" asked his father.
"That's not what I meant!" said Tamaki.
"Sure it wasn't," said his father, "But, I for one think this little lady deserve a present."
Tamaki glared at his father.
"It's okay sir, I'd rather stay in today learn some more piano from Papa Tamaki," said Taeko.
Both men looked at her.
"Really?" said Tamaki.
Taeko nodded and smiled.
"I really liked it when you were showing me how to play the other day," she said.
"Well then we should get to it as soon a possible!" said Tamaki with the smile about to jump from the table.
"Tamaki sit down and finished your breakfast first!" said his father. Tamaki slunk back into his seat.
"You should follow Takeo example, she has manors at least," said Mr. Suoh.
"Yes Father," said Tamaki as he finished his meal.
"So what are you going to teach me today Papa Tamaki?" asked Taeko once they were done and headed to Tamaki's personal music room.
"I thought we work on the scales some more," said Tamaki, "It'll help you learn the notes better for when you're actually ready to start playing the songs."
"Okay," said Taeko as she started to move her fingers up and down the piano.
"Oops," she said as she hit a wrong note.
"That's okay dear. Mistakes happen especially in the beginning. Just try again," said Tamaki.
"Okay," said Taeko as she tried again.
"AH!" she said as she hit a wrong note again.
"It's okay, just try again," said Tamaki.
"Did you make a lot of mistakes when you were learning?" asked Taeko.
"Yes of course I did," said Tamaki. "I may be close to perfection, but I'm not completely perfect. And as such I can be prone to make a mistake once in a while. The important thing is to not let the mistake hold you back."
"Okay, I won't," said Taeko as she tried again and this time got the note right when she hit it!
"Good job Taeko, see you can get it!" said Tamaki.
"Thanks Papa Tamaki," said Taeko. "Do you think that if I keep practicing I could play for my mom like you did?"
"Of course you can," said Tamaki.
"Do you think she'll be able to hear it even if she's in a coma?" asked Taeko.
"Yes, I do," said Tamaki as he took her hand and squeezed it.
Taeko looked down sad, but then smiled.
"Then I'm going to try my best learning it so that I can play it for her!" said Taeko, "Just like you use to play for you mother!"
"Good for you honey," said Tamaki rubbing her head, "That's wonderful."
Tamaki's father sat in his home office listening to the various piano sounds that was playing through out the mansion.
"It almost reminds me of when I'd come to visit Tamaki as a child and would hear him practicing for his mother. It was always so sweet!" he said with a smile, "Oh this big place feels like it's alive again!"
Just then he felt a chill running through his body.
"Oh that can't be good," he said.
"Excuse me sir, but Mr. Ohtori is here to see you," said a maid walking into the office.
"Yeah I had a feeling he was here," said Mr. Suoh, "Show him in."
"Yes sir," said the maid. A few minutes later Mr. Ohtori walked into the room.
"Hello Suoh," he said.
"Hello Ohtori, what brings you by?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"I'm here on some serious business regarding a certain young lady," said Mr. Ohtori as he took a seat.
"Oh and what young lady are you referring to?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"Taeko Fujioka, Haruhi Fujioka's daughter," said Mr. Ohtori.
"What about her?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"I've come to bring her to the Ohtori mansion," said Mr. Ohtori.
"And why would you want to do that?" asked Mr. Suoh.
"As long as there's a chance she's an Ohtori she belongs with the Ohtori family," said Mr. Ohtori.
"Oh really?" said Mr. Suoh.
"Yes," said Mr. Ohtori. "I would have taken her a lot sooner had I not be out of town on business for a while. I didn't even know about her or her situation until a few days ago when I returned home. But I now that I have, I've all ready went and made the arrangements to have her come and live with us at the Ohtori mansion."
"I see," said Mr. Suoh, "Well why I appreciate your concern, I should warn you that my lawyer has all ready assured me that we, the Suohs, have legal custody of the little girl."
"Yes I heard that you were recently awarded custody, and that's what made you take her from the Haninozukas. However my lawyers have also taken the steps in awarding custody of the young lady to me and my family," said Mr. Ohtori handing Suoh a file form.
Mr. Suoh read them over intently.
"I see," he said, "Well then I guess I have not choice at the moment but to let you take her. However I should warn you I'm going to be getting in contact with my lawyers immediately and will have them work at getting my family custody of her again!"
"Fair enough and I'm sure you'll put up a valiant fight. But in the mean time I'll just collect Taeko and take her with me. Now where is she?" asked Mr. Ohtori.
"Follow me," said Mr. Suoh as he stood and lead Mr. Ohtori out of the room and followed the sound of piano music.
"Good job Taeko, that's your fifth time in a row you didn't make a mistake. You're quite the natural with the piano, just like me," said Tamaki.
"Thank you Papa Tamaki!" said Taeko, "I hope someday I can play as well as you do!"
"Well you keep going like this you will be in no time!" said Tamaki, "Just have to keep practicing."
Taeko smiled before turning back to her playing.
"Don't worry I will," she said, soon getting lost in her playing.
Just then Tamaki noticed his father walking into the room.
"Father, what are you doing in here?" he asked. Then he saw Mr. Ohtori walk in as well.
"Mr. Ohtori, why are you here?" asked Tamaki.
Taeko stopped playing and looked over at the two men. She looked back and forth between them for a moment looking at their serious faces and seemed to realize what was going on!
"NO!" she shouted at the top of her lungs slamming her hands down on to the piano keys!
