"Princess Emi, how do you do?" asked Tamaki as he took a sip of tea. The teen was sitting with Emi today along with the twins, all decked out with jewelry. Yuka was working on homework at Kyoya's table as everyone waited for the rest of the club to come, or customers to walk in. (Whichever came first) Haruhi, Honey, and Mori were late today.

The twins got suckered into having a tea party with Emi and Tamaki was dragged in too. Yuka wasn't surprised at that. Whenever Honey and Mori weren't around, Emi was attached to the twins or Tamaki. She would rarely get all three of them to play with her at the same time.

But surprisingly, the host Emi liked the best was Mori. She was constantly around the silent host, coaxing him to pick her up and hold her. He even played with her, whether it was tea parties or dolls. He didn't have to say much or anything at all, but he was her favorite.

No matter who had her though, she always picked daddy whenever she could. Yuka always played with her, took care of her needs, and she always came back to him.

Yuka knew it was only a matter of time till she wouldn't be little anymore. She was growing up. Getting older every day, and he knew she would one day grow apart from him. That one day, she will argue with him. Tell him she hated him in anger. It was only a matter of time. Yuka was ok with that, but it didn't stop the hurt, even if he knew it would be in the distant future. He was going to enjoy this while it was happening in the present. He watched his little girl squeal in delight as the twins tickled her as he finished up his homework.

"I done. Wanna color now" announced Emi as she left the table.

"Hold up, little girl. You have to help clean up and put your toys away. Please help" Yuka turned the little girl around to face the table.

"I don't wanna" whined Emi. She tried and failed to getaway.

"Pick up your toys, or go to time out" Yuka held his ground as Emi kept trying to get away "You have till three. One…Two…Three! Alright, time out."

Picking up the little girl, he made his way over to the dressing room. All the while, Emi screamed and cried. She kicked him, hit him, and even tried to bite him but he didn't stop. He made it in the room, closing the door and turning on the lights, he walked over to a sitting chair in the corner of the room. Sitting her down, he looked at her with a blank face. "I am putting you in time out because you are not listening to me when I tell you to pick up your toys. So you have a time out. You sit here till I tell you to move."

He got up and walked away. Emi got up and each time he calmly picked her back up and set her back down, before walking away and starting the timer to two minutes. He didn't say a word as he continued to put her back. Finally, after thirty minutes, she completed the time out.

"Now your time out is over. Do you understand why you were put in time out?" asked Yuka as he bent over to talk to Emi.

"I didn't pick up" muttered Emi as she looked at the floor.

"Emiko, look at me. That is right. You didn't pick up. You argued with daddy after I asked you to help. I gave you a choice to pick up, or go to time out. When I put you in time out, you hit, bite, and kicked me. That wasn't nice. You don't hurt daddy" Yuka looked into Emi's eyes as he talked to her "Do you understand why you did wrong?"

"I sorry daddy" cried Emi before hugging the teen.

"It's ok, sweetie. Next time, you do as I say. Even if you want to do something else. And no hurting daddy" said the teen as he picked up the little girl "Now, why don't we go pick up your toys and see if Honey and Mori are here yet? I bet Mori would love to color with you" Yuka stated, walking out of the room. Emi got excited when she saw that Honey and Mori were here. She quickly picked up her toys and headed over to her favorite host. Yuka dropped off her coloring supplies before he headed back over to Kyoya's table.

Sitting down, he turned his attention to the Shadow king. "What are you working on?" he asked as he watched Mori and Emi color.

"Bookkeeping at the moment" answered Kyoya without looking up.

"Hm, need any help? I am pretty good with numbers" "I can help with other things as well."

"Why do you want to help me?" asked Kyoya, looking up to face the teen for the first time today.

"You seem to do a lot around here. Just thought I would ask" shrugged the teen "You work the club's budget, plan out and prepare events, sell products, manage the website, and the list most likely goes on. Plus you deal with the members. On top of that, you are the top student in our class. I thought I would help you if you are needing and willing for it."

"I may take you up on that" smirked Kyoya as he pushed up his glasses, making them flash "But another time. It seems to me you have your hands full."

Yuka laughed before holding out his hand, "I can still take a little of your load off. I can help with the bookkeeping for starters."

"I guess it wouldn't hurt. I can always double-check it later" muttered Kyoya, handing over the paperwork.

"That works too" getting a chuckle from the other teen.

"Daddy, I draw picture" Emi held up the paper she had been working on with Mori. "It bunny. Like?"

"Oh, I love it. Cutest bunny in the world" exclaimed Yuka, looking at the picture with a huge grin.

"You color too, daddy" demanded the girl as she tugged on his pants. He gave the bookkeeping paperwork back to Kyoya and made his way over to the coloring table.

'It's time for a coloring break' he thought, sitting down next to his daughter 'I got the bookkeeping done anyway' he glanced over at Kyoya and winked before turning his attention back to his little girl.

He turned away too soon to see the small smile he got in return.
