Chapter 8 - Secrets Revealed

The host club sat around the table at Kyoya's cottage. There was an awkward silence as there was tension all around. Mostly from Tamaki and Haruhi who were beyond angry at each other. Hinata just tried to keep herself out of the dispute otherwise she would be pulled in because of her previous actions.

Haruhi was eating way too much and to fast. She started to yell at Tamaki and he started to yell back at her. They both lost control and left the dinning room and headed to their own rooms.

Haruhi took a detour as she started to feel sick.

Meanwhile in the dinning room everyone was still silent. Hinata was first to react. Shhe sighed which caught everyone's attention. "So much for telling everyone."

"What do you mean Hina-chan?" Hunny who was sitting next to her asked.

"I-I was planning to tell you all everything but..."

"So why don't you tell us? According to Haruhi's actions she already knows. And it won't kill Tamaki to know later." Kyoya senpai really wanted to know. Ask her the questions he has had.

"Gomen Kyoya-senpai. There is something I still need to explain to Haruhi as well."

"So wait" Kaoru started.

"We are the only ones"

"That know all of your secrets?" The twins questioned with mischievous grins.

Kaoru and Hikaru already know her secrets? Hunny though as he looked to Hinata. Why did she tell them and not me. Does she not think anything of me?

"A-A-Ano. You don't know all either. And it is probably contributes the most. It has to do from where I am from and what I am." Hinata quickly covered her mouth. "I have said too much. I will now retire for the night." With that Hinata left the rooms will all eyes on her.

"Nani?" Some questioned a lot louder than others.

What she is? Kyoya couldn't wait for the following day. He needs to know as soon as possible. He hated being left in the dark because that was a place he never was.

Hunny got up from his seat and walked over to the twins. "Hika-chan Kao-chan what exactly did Hina-chan tell you?" He seemed calm on the out side but on the inside he was like a bomb waiting to explode.

"We aren't telling you." The two stuck out their tongues. Hunny did not like their answers so he punched the top of each twin's head which made them fall out of their chair and layed on the floor.

Kyoya sighed but not loud enough for anyone to hear. "We might as well all go to bed as well." Though he was actually plotting something.

Meanwhile Tamaki was up in the room he was staying in. He stared out the glass doors that led to the deck. He stayed inside as it had started to rain. There was a knock at his door but he decide to ignore it.

The door opened and then he heared it shut. The figure that entered the room sat on his bed. "Tamaki-senpai." The small gentle voice told Tamaki that it was Hinata.

"What?" He said in a sorrowful tone.

"I believe that you should go talk to Haruhi."

"Why should I apologize to her! She should come apologize to me!" Tamaki raised his voice finally turning to face Hinata.

"I never said you had to apologize."

"Then why-"

Tamaki was interrupted by Hinata. Something that she would not normally do to a friend but he needed to hear it.

"You know Haruhi can be blunt. I admit that there are things that Haruhi needs to realize but it doesn't help at yelling at her. She may have not made the best decision but she did what she thought was right."

Tamaki calmed down a little. "You also could have died because of her. Do you not care for your own life at all? Sure you are trying to please and help others but you need to draw a line as well."

"Tamaki-senpai... you already know the answer. It is the same as yours. When you heared that Haruhi fell off the cliff you came to help her risking your own life. Like you I will do what I must, especially if that means helping my friends as it is the only thing I have." Small tears formed in the corner of her eyes.

Although Tamkai was not taken back to this. For he already knew her situation. That was one reason he wasn't as mad at her as he was with Haruhi. He thought back to a few weeks ago.

Flashback

Hinata was leaving Ouran after the host club until Tamaki grabbed her wrist and ran dragging her into his limo.

"W-What are y-you doing?"

"You are coming to my house of course." Tamaki hugged her tightly as if she was a doll. The only thing that escaped her mouth was air. At lease she was getting better with people being close. But she still had a ways to go.

When they arrived at Tamaki's house he helped her out of the limo like a gentleman. She could only stare wide eye at his house. More like mansion. It was bigger than the Hyuuga grounds. Why do people always want the biggest and the best.

They were inside the house in a room. Hinata was sitting on the couch as Tamaki offered a drink. He told one of his maids to go get two drinks. As she left Tamaki couldn't help but play the piano. He hadn't done so all day.

Unknown to him though Hinata closed her eyes and nodded her head to the song. This song. It is nice. Peaceful yet sad as if yearning for something. Tamaki really puts his true feelings into it. With him playing it is as if his life was an open book. Hinata listened to it a bit more before she realized This is the song mother use to play for me.

Tamaki stopped playing and once Hinata had realized this she opened her eyes to see Tamaki walk up to her with a drink in each hand. One for him and one for her.

She thanked him as he gave her a drink. There was an awkward silence. Usually it was never quiet with Tamaki so she was worried. "Is everything okay senpai?"

He snapped out of a daze and replied quickly "I am sorry for having worry you." Tamaki went into a small daze again. "I was just remembering something."

Hinata saw the small amount of pain that his face showed. So to change the topic she spoke about the song. "You are very good at playing the piano Tamaki." She smiled. "It reminds me of my mother."

Tamaki shot his head up after taking a sip of his drink. Did something happen to her mother too.

Hinata saw the questioning look on his face and answered. "She died. Not long after my imouto was born."

So its not the same. Tamaki looked down.

Hinata did not really know of his family conditions but from how he acts, as he is close enough to his friends to call him family, and the feelings when he played the piano and on his face she had a good guess. She knew that he was probably usually alone with his family. When this happens he began to think of his friends as his family. That is why she does not think it is some dumb act like many others believe.

Hinata had a feeling that if she was to tell another about her life Tamaki would understand the best. Hard enough it was to believe from his hyperactive happy self. "There is something I would like to tell you Tamaki but if I tell you it needs to be only you." She turned her gaze the the maid that waited in the room incase they needed anything else.

He at first looked confused. Then he followed her gaze to the maid and sent her off. "What did you want to say?"

"I'm different. I come from a village in the Land of Fire called Konoha. And I am a ninja. My father no longer wanted anything to do with me because he says that I am a lost cause. He trains my sister Hanabi and my cousin Neji while he though of nothing of me. No matter how hard I try or how much I train in work it means nothing to him. I just wanted him to acknowledge me. I use to train until I could no longer stand and I still do know hoping that he will change his opinion of me. I was alone for so many years. Even when I attended school it was as if I was a shadow. That was until I graduated and met Kurenai-sensei and my teammates Shino, Kiba, and his dog Akamaru. They were the first to accept me. They cared whether I was alive or dead. They became more of family then my own family was."

Tamaki just sat next to her shocked. He was as frozen as stone. It took a while but he finally came back. He stood up straight and proud. "As you otou-san I will promise to keep his daughter's secret."

Hinata gave a quiet giggle. "You look better." Tamaki was once again confused. "You look better with a smile."

Tamaki put a hand over his face to cover his blush. Then the door opened to reveal an old lady. At the sight of her Tamaki regained his composure. "Hello Grandmother."

"Instead of fooling around like some monkey you should practice or go study some more. She seemed unpleased. She glared at the two of them.

Tamaki was about to agree to her demand until Hinata stepped in. She was quite serious and she did not even try to hide it. Hinata stood in front of Tamaki and looked at his grandmother.

"He has been working hard all day the lease you could do is give him a break."

"There are things to be done dear. If he has enough spare time to sit at home and goof off than there is definetly time to inprove on things that actually matter."

"So you are saying that his happiness does not matter."

His grandmother answered her question indirectly. "He is the heir to this company. He needs to do what he must. There is no time for fun."

"What kind of family are you!" Hinata fully understood her message. "If using him is all that matters why even call him family. You are just a pitiful soul!" Hinata was extremely angry at his grandmother. "Come on Tamaki... we are leaving." Hinata did not yell to him but you could hear the rage in her voice." Hinata grabbed Tamaki's wrist and pulled him out of the house.

His grandmother was not happy with her actions and slightly taken back that someone had actually yelled at her. She was thinking to hard so she left to do who knows what.

At this time Hinata was still dragging Tamaki. He was willingly silent. He was surprise she stood up for him, especially against his grandmother. Yet he was also a bit scared at the view of Hinata when she is mad.

They made their way to a bench. Hinata was first to sit down and she sighed to calm herself down. "Sorry senpai. She might get you in more trouble then you were in before. I just couldn't stand how she acts towards you."

"No worries." Tamaki gave a sad smile. "Honestly no one has ever done that for me or yell to her. Anyway I am use to it by now." He glanced over to Hinata "Although it is surprising how you will say that to her but you can't say a word to your own father."

Hinata looked down. Her bangs hiding her eyes. "Isn't it always like that. People are scared to stand up to those that they want respect from. Even if you do not exactly like your grandmother you want her to acknowledge you too. Right?"

He slowly nodded. He than smiled and took her by the hand. "Now come on. We here to have fun not be so glum." Hinata looked up and smiled. She felt better than she had a moment ago.

They wandered throughout town and had fun to the best they could. It was now getting dark. "I should be getting home. There are things I need to do." Hinata was about to leave but added something "Thank you for this evening. I haven't exactly been that happy lately and I had fun with you...otou-san."

With that she ran back to her home and Tamaki smiled. At lease one person understood.

End Flashback

"Alright I will go speak with her. I am not sure if it will turn out good but I can try."

Hinata stood up. "That's it Tamaki-senpai. At lease you are trying. That is all anyone can ask."

"But can you come with me. Just in case she tries to kill me." Tamaki lightened up.

"Anything for my otou-san."

And they left the room and headed to find Haruhi.

When they did find Haruhi she was scared to death from the thunderstorm. "I will go see if there are earplugs or something to lower the noise." Said Hinata. The other two nodded.

Hinata was walking down the hall. She felt strange as if someone was following her. She stop momentarily and used her Byakugan. And around the corner she saw...Kyoya.

He was up to something she just didn't know what. She made a clone. She let her clone go ahead as he went around to the last hall she was in. As her clone made it to Kyoya he trapped her against the wall.

"Now Hinata. Will you tell me now?"

"I will be telling everyone at breakfast tomorrow. Can you not wait?"

"No. I have been searching for your records but nothing comes up. Then you said you would explain what you are. What are you?"

"I am a girl that is being held against the wall."

Kyoya smiled. "At lease you know what position you are in. So why don't you explain more."

"I said I will explain in the morning."

"Than I guess you don't understand the position you are in as well I thought."

The Hinata clon looked down in her position. She was simply pinned against the wall. But she didn't even look slightly worried.

"Maybe you should look in your position."

"What are you-" He stopped and followed he gaze. He was looking at Hinata behind him. "But how?" He looked back against the wall where one Hinata stood then looked back to the one behind him.

"Are you alright Kyoya-senpai." The real Hinata asked.

"How are there two of you? Do you have a twin?"

"What are you talking about senpai. There is only me." Said the real Hinata again. He went to look back at the wall but she was gone.

Am I hallucinating? No I had spoke to her here. What is going on?

"Well I am going back to your room. Haruhi couldn't make it to her own room after feeling sick from the crab. Now she is trembling on the floor with Tamaki becasue she is scared of the thunder."

"Are you sure it was best to leave the two alone."

Hinata gave the most genuine smile she has given in a long time. "They will be absolutely fine."

The next morning at breakfast Hinata finally explained everything. She didn't want to live in the shadows she wanted them to know. They were all shocked to some degree. Some handled it better than others. Although Kyoya believed her he was more curious as to how Tamaki seemed unaffected at all. "I am amazed you are frozen from being surprised." He directed it to said person.

This caught everyone else's interested because that was not a normal reaction to Tamaki.

"Actually I think he took it worse than all of you." Now all eyes were on Hinata. "He was frozen for almost half an hour than he went into his corner for some time after." She giggled at the memory.

"HE KNEW!" They all yelled.

"Ano I think he found out a few weeks ago. When I went to his house."

"Nani!" Hunny and Kaoru yelled. Mori and Hikaru knew they were both jealous and calmed the other two down.

They all went home as the weekend was finishing and they all still had homework to do. As Hinata open the door to her apartment a dog came and jumped on her.

"A-Akamaru?"

She looked up and their was another two figures.

She gasped.
