"Otoosan?" The Ouran chairman looked at the baby Kyouya was carrying. He blinked then grinned.
"What a cute baby! So beautiful! Reminds me of Tamaki when he was a child."
The others greeted him.
Kyouya hugged Tamaki closer to his chest almost possessively. The baby was extending his arms to his "real" father, wishing to be held, he can't afford to give the chairman ideas.
"What can we do for you?" he formally asked the baby's father.
"Ah, Well, my idiotic son hasn't called me in 2 days. I'm wondering if he calls you." He told Kyouya.
The shadow king gave a small smile. "As a matter of fact. He did." He lied smoothly. "According to him, he was trying to call your office but the line was busy. So he called me instead."
"Sou ka, Yes, we have been busy these past few days. It's the holiday season you see." Yuzuru Suoh smiled as the baby tried to reach for him.
"Tamki!" The baby exclaimed pointing to himself.
"Are? He thinks he's Tono?" one of the twins asked.
"No." Kyouya said dangerously, "He knows he looks like Tamaki. He's been told often enough by the rest of you."
"Sou ka." Huni-senpai nodded. "He does look so much like Tama-chan!"
"Ah."
"Who is he?" The Ouran chairman asked Kyouya.
"A son of a relative visiting our family." He answered ambiguously.
"Was Tamaki able to meet him?"
"Unfortunately, no."
"I see." The chairman touched the baby's blond head. Tamaki smiled happily. "Well, I have a meeting so I will go. Go home safely." He told them all before leaving. The kid pouted his lips.
"Toosan gone?" he asked, his lavender eyes watching Kyouya sadly.
"No. He's at home." Careful to make everyone believe his story.
"Senpai." Haruhi called him.
"Hai?"
"May I go now?"
"No. You're accompanying us to the music store."
"Nani?! I know nothing about piano."
"What?! We want to go to!" The twins chorused.
"Us too! Ne, Takashi?"
"Ah."
"That is of course, alright with me, but it would be an inconvenience to the store owner as monsieur Frank only receives two guests at a time." He told them all, glasses glinting almost sadistically in the room's artificial light.
"ah… Sou ka…" Kaoru said.
"We forgot. Alright then, we'll go home now."
"Hai." Huni added.
"Who is monsieur Frank?" Haruhi asked no one in particular.
"Piano maker." Mori said.
She stared. "A piano maker?! Is there such a thing?"
"Of course there is! Who do you think makes the piano? Carpenters?" Hikaru laughed at her.
"There are piano makers?" she asked.
"Like there are violin makers." Kyouya answered.
"Don't worry about it Haru-chan. You'll learn more when you get there." Huni told her.
"Hai."

She eyed the place. She didn't even know such a shop existed; it was in the high-end part of the city almost covered by trees. She would never have noticed it. She hugged the baby who clung to her neck.
He was so soft and cuddly.
"Why was she here anyway?"
Right.
Kyouya needed a baby sitter while he talked with the maker.
Damn rich bastards.
Someone was talking to her. "huh?" she faced an old. Surly looking man.
"Is this the child?" he asked her.
"Uh.. hai."
The man faced Kyouya; "It'll be ready by tomorrow."
"Hai. Arigatou." The shadow king said as he led them outside into the snow. "Let me take you home." He addressed Haruhi.
"That's alright senpai. You can just drop me off on a bus stop."
"Your father will be worried." He answered.
"Hai. Okay. I guess I have no choice."
Kyouya took the baby from her and placed him on the car seat. "He'll be fine there."
"Nii-chan?" Baby Tama-chan called him.
He sighed. "Hai?"
"Ramen?" He said as he pointed to a little supermarket near Haruhi's apartment.
"No. You're eating at home." He told the child.
Tamaki faced Haruhi. "Ramen?"
She faced Kyouya.
"No Ramen Tamahome." The shadow king said again.
He kicked his little feet. "Ramen!"
Haruhi took pity on the child, "Can we just buy him ramen? Maybe he really wants one." She told Kyouya, "And I need to do the grocery also."
Kyouya sighed. "Fine," he said as he instructed the driver to pass by the grocery.
---
Haruhi placed the baby on the front of the grocery cart. "Are you alright there?" she asked,
He nodded cutely, his blond hair falling over his eyes. "Hai."
She brushed it away then faced Kyouya who was looking through stacks and stacks of instant noodles.
"Which is healthier?" he asked her, referring to two brands he was looking at.
"Senpai. I really wouldn't know, but we can get him chicken flavored."
"He likes beef." He answered her automatically.
Haruhi looked at the baby suspiciously. "Senpai," she addressed the question to him, "Are you sure he isn't related to Tamaki-senpai? Tamaki-senpai also likes beef."
The shadow king faced her, "I didn't think you noticed."
She looked away, but not before Kyouya saw her blush. "Where's my notebook when I need it?"
"It's what he asks me to buy."
"If you say so."
"Arhi?" the baby interrupted them. "Beef!"
"Hai. Hai. Beef." She said, taking one brown colored instant bowl and handed it to the baby. Tamaki hugged it to his chest.
"Ramen!"
"I should tell your father to feed you more healthy food." Kyouya told the baby.
"Senpai, why don't you have dinner in our house? Otoo-san cooked nabe because it's so cold. That's healthy isn't it?"
"Nabe!"
Kyouya smiled at the kid. "I guess I have no choice."

Ranka-san eyed the blond baby Kyouya was holding and immediately pushed Haruhi behind him.
"That..That Devil! That monster spawned a child! Haruhi! My beloved daughter! Don't come within 10 feet of that Gigolo!!" He shouted referring to their Host Club King. "For all we know, he deflowered millions of women and now have 700 children! My poor poor poor daughter, do not fall for his charms, that club king of yours is a walking genital!! My Haruhi, please tell me he hasn't violated your sacred virtue. He hasn't touched you has he? Your beauty remains intact. Haruhi! Tell daddy that you're still a woman of pure innocence."
Haruhi rolled her eyes as her father glomped her and sobbed pathetically on her shoulder. "My daughter has been deflowered!"
"That's disgusting dad. They're staying for dinner."
Ranka-san peered at the baby. "The apple does not fall far from the tree."
Tama-chan closed his hand on a lock of Ranka's red hair. He smiled beautifully at "Arhi's" father.
"Pretty." He looked awed.
Kyouya smirked as the baby was forcefully taken from him and was hugged by the Okama.
"What a sweet child, he has good tastes, nothing like that king of yours. Look at him, doesn't he look handsome. He'll grow up to be such a fine man. What a wonderful, wonderful baby! He was raised so well, What's his name? He's not really related to that bastard king right?! What a cute baby! Look at those lavender eyes! what beautiful pink lips!"
Ranka-san approached his daughter. "Daughter, when will you give daddy a grand son? I'm not getting any younger. Maybe you should find a man and give me lots of grandchildren. I don't mind if you want to get married as long as it's not that Suoh kid! Why don't you marry Kyouya-kun?"
The said daughter took the baby who looked crushed. "Don't kill him dad." She faced Kyouya. "Gomen senpai."
"No harm done. Do you need any help?"
"You can close the door."
---
"What do you mean you have no idea what's going to happen?!" Kyouya gritted his teeth as the person on the other line talked. "Tamaki had better return to his normal state!"
"Ohtori-kun. I couldn't find anything." Nekozawa wheezed. "But I found a book of spells written by my great grandmother. If you want, we can look it up tomorrow after school."
The brunet rubbed his eyes. "Damn it! Fine! Tomorrow evening then. Arigatou." He said before closing his cell. He can't afford to make an enemy out of the Nekozawa's.
He eyed the baby who was sleeping on his bed.
He found out something about the baby. He wasn't a touchy child. Tamaki didn't mind being held by people but he chooses the people he wants to hold.
The shadow king reflected that the teenager Tamaki openly hugs him and Haruhi. Yes, he flirts with woman and kissed their hands, touch their faces, yes, he also chases the twins and put his hands on their necks (if not trying to kill them) and taps the shoulders of his classmates but he never openly hugged any of them.
Hugging was reserved only for him and Haruhi.
Does that mean they are the two people who means so much to him?
It seems that despite his very open nature. Tamaki was in fact, reserved.
Kyouya approached his bed and touched the baby's face. "So soft." He thought then grinned as Tamaki moved closer to him. "You like warmth don't you?"
The child opened his sleepy-looking eyes. "Koya?"
"Hai? Go back to sleep. I have something to do."
"Don't leave." he said.
The brunet furrowed his brow. "Leave? This is my room."
"Kaa-san left." He said in that baby voice of his.
Kyouya eyed the child. He seemed to be sleeping. Nevertheless. He answered.
"I won't leave," He said as he moved the bear closer to the boy.
Maybe Tamaki remembers his past.

A/N: For those concerned. I have no idea if this is a T/K, T/H, or K/H fic. I'm probably just as confused as you guys are.
Thanks for reading.
