A/N: Hi people, I'm sooooo sorry about not updating! It's been crazy here. I got sick multiple times, school starts Monday, and my laptop got fried! I don't own Ouran or any music used. Even with all my wishing T_T. Here's chapter 4 people! :) Warning: This chapter is why I rated the story M.
Last time: "I can walk on my own Tamaki," Chi said. He smiled and said, "I know, but you're my princess. And you need to remember that, okay?"
Chi blushed, "W-what?" Tamaki smiled at her as he continued to walk down the hall. "I said you're my princess. And you need to remember that." He then pressed his lips softly to the young whitette's. Her blue grey eyes widen with supersize, but then slowly closed as she kissed back. His toung lightly ran across her lower lip and she opened her mouth, only enough to let his toung in. He explored her mouth, enjoying the strawberry flavor. When he found her toung he slowly made it peak up. Once it was up their toungs did a dance sending sparks through them and letting Chi taste mint. They pulled apart and Tamaki smiled while Chi could only blush.
In the nurse's office Chi held an ice pack to her neck while the nurse told her it was just some slight bruising, but nothing to serious. She thanked the nurse, who then left to do some paper work. Tamaki sat next to Chi, holding her other hand, and said, "I'm glad you weren't seriously hurt." "Me too. Oh…umm. Thank you." Tamaki gave her a slightly puzzled look, "For what?" Chi smiled, giving Tamaki's hand a slight squeeze before saying, "For getting those two guys off me. I don't want to think of what would have happened if you hadn't shown up."
Tamaki smiled and kissed her cheek, "It wasn't a problem. Besides it gave me a chance to spend more time with you." Chi smiled and gained a slight sparkle in her eyes. "It also raised some questions," Tamaki said. "You can ask if you want. I don't really mind," she said moving the ice pack to the other side of her neck.
"Really?" The blond asked. The whitette nodded. "Okay! Well first, where did you learn French?" She smiled before saying, "My mom. She was actually born in France, so it was natural for her to teach me. You would've loved to meet her." Tamaki looked in to her eyes with a slightly concerned look. "Would've?" Chi bit her lower lip slightly before saying, "She died when I was six."
Tamaki moved so he was sitting closer to her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to his chest. "I'm sorry for your loss," he said softly while stroking her hair. "It's okay. It was years ago and besides she's in a better place now," she snuggling closer to his heart. They sat there in silence for a little while till Chi said, "You can continue asking questions Tamaki."
"Oh, right…hmm… Is that your real hair color?" She giggled and nodded. He thought again, "Why the collar?" Her hand lightly touched said collar as she said, "It was a gift from one of my mother's closest friends in France." Tamaki smiled at that. 'She may have a small family, but there are other people out there for her… other than me,' he thought.
"Anything else you want to ask?" He shook his head and held her closer, making her sit in his lap. His head rested on top of hers as he stroked her hair. She snuggled closer to his heart and enjoyed the attention she was getting, it was better than the attention she got at home. Just thinking about it made a shiver go down her spine. He looked at her and with a slight laugh he said, "I think that ice is getting to you." She giggle slightly and nodded. She placed the ice down on the small side table and she looked at the blond. He smiled at her and she smiled back. He kissed her on the lips again and she kissed back. Today was a good day…for now.
At the host club before it opened… "I'M NOT A DOLL!" Chi had her arms crossed and was glaring at the twins, who were dressed in punk rock attire (think skinny jeans). Kyouya, who was in a black and silver pin stripe suit with matching fedora(anyone reminded of Good Charlotte?), decided to solve the problem the fastest way he knew how. "Chi you'll start having debt if you don't wear it." She ran into the changing room after he said that.
When she came out Tamaki(wearing a nice black suit with tails and a top hat), Kyouya, Hunny(I don't know what he's wearing-_-'), Mori( casual jeans t-shirt), and Haruhi (baggy kaki cargo pants, baggy black t-shirt with AC DC on it, converse) all had looked of surprise while the twins smiled at their work.
Chi was wearing a black corset dress. The skirt ended mid thigh with petty coats that made the underside look as if it was a dark purple. The string on the corset was a deep purple that was the same shade as Tamaki's eyes. The dress itself had no sleeves, but she had a dark purple, almost black, short puff sleeve button down under it. A pair of dark purple, almost black, ripped fishnets covered her legs. Her shoes were a pair of black 4 ½ inch stiletto heels that covered her toes and locked around her ankles with silver clasps. She still wore the black wrist band on her left wrist and a torn black rose lace glove on her right hand. Her collar was joined by three silver chains, the lowest one with a cross on it.
The twins went to either side of her and one started, "What do you think? We thought she could represent the 'darker' music scene…" "Yeah, like Panic! At The Disco, Evanesces, Enter Shikari, and I Set My Friends On Fire," finished the other. Chi looked at them, "Wait, scremo's 'dark'?" The twins nodded and she sighed.
Hunny jumped up and down saying, "I think Chi-Chan looks pretty!" Mori gave a nod with a slight 'hmm' sound. Haruhi gave a warm smile and a thumb up. Kyouya wrote in his note book very fast. Tamaki walked over to her and said, "I think you look lovely," and kissed her cheek. She blushed a deep crimson before saying, "Th-thank you Tamaki. Umm… Why don't we open the club, since we're all ready?"
The club ran smoothly, the girls loved how each host was a different type of music. Chi was given a few complements on her outfit (along with evil glares) and was asked some questions about how she had gotten a job working for the hosts. When she would go to Tamaki's table to give sweets, tea, or instant coffee Tamaki, being Tamaki, would be a little over dramatic and go into some heavy flirting, causing Chi to blush (and more evil glares). Some might say it was an act, but Tamaki ment every word of it to Chi.
Close to the end of club one of the girls asked Tamaki to play the piano and he agreed. He sat at the piano and started to play a soft melody. The girls smiled at the dreamy look the area around him seamed to get, but they couldn't figure out what song he was playing... except for Chi and one other.
After only a few notes she was smiling and slowly rocking her head to the music. Tamaki looked at her and nodded at her telling her it was ok. She smiled at him while picking up a tea pot. She did a small spin while walking to Hunny's table to refill there cups. She let out a slow breath.
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December.
Chi put the tea pot back on the cart with a slight movement in the way she walked, most common for a dancer.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory…
She wrapped her arms around her waist and swayed her hips and head slightly. She extended her hand as if going to grab someone else's then placed it on her forehead.
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
She slowly walked to the piano with the sway never leaving her hips.
Things my heart
Used to know,
She stud next to the piano watching Tamaki's fingers dance across the keys as she sang.
Once upon a December…
When the instrumental came a girl switched places with Tamaki at the piano. He bowed politely to Chi and she curtsied. They held each other and started to dance around the room, Tamaki holding one of Chi's hands and her waist while she held his hand and shoulder.
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Tamaki's hands move to holding Chi's hips, pulling her closer while her hands went around his neck as she continued to sing, keeping their movements in time with the song.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory…
Far away, long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart
Used to know,
Things it yearns to remember…
They slowed down and stopped, staring into each other's eyes as she sang the last verse.
And a song
Someone sings
Once upon a December.
His lips captured hers in a kiss as the song died out. The fan girls squealed at the top of their lungs (along with evil glares) and the host's were in complete shock, except for Haruhi who smiled. Finally. Maybe things will get better for her.
Once the guest left and everyone changed the hosts surrounded Tamaki and Chi and started asking questions, at the same time. Talk about blob of sound. Chi raised a hand and they got quiet and looked at her. She put her hand down and said, "All questions need to go to Tamaki or wait till tommarow because I need to go home."With that said she turned to leave.
The walk home was quiet since she was by herself, but she needed the peace. Her thoughts were everywhere and she was trying to organize them. A majority were on her and Tamaki kissing. What would the questions be? How was she going to answer any questions? It was very confusing.
When she got to the apartment complex she saw her dad's car. Please let him be passed out or ignore my very existence. She walked up the stairs to her apartment and opened the door. Her father was standing there looking at her with a mix of disgust and anger. The room had a heavy sent of alcohol.
He yelled, "Where the fuck were you!" "I was at school," she said. "Your classes ended over an hour ago, wanna try again!" Before she could say anything he started yelling saying that she was probably whoring herself off to any guy that looked like they had money. He kept on yelling while he walked over to her and started to bet her. After some time he started to said, "If you like whoring yourself out so much," but Chi blanked out for the rest.
Next thing she knew she was on the couch with her father over her. He reached down and unbuttoned her skinny jeans. Chi's body went in to a self defense mode and kicked him in the stomach, while thoroughing him on the floor. She stud up and ran as fast as she could out the door. She continued to run not caring where she went or who saw her. She stopped running when she got to a park.
Chi walked to one of the benches and sat down. Looking up she saw that it was already dark. She laid down on the bench and brought her knees to her chest as she cried. Slowly she fell asleep.
When Chi opened her eyes she was in a field full of tall grass. She was on a hill under a Sakura blossom tree. Her head was on something soft and warm. She looked up to see a woman with pale skin and hair as white as snow. Her eyes were light blue and she was smiling at her.
"M-mom," Chi stuttered gaining tears in her eyes. The woman smile grew as she hugged her daughter. She cried on her mother's shoulder as she said, "I've missed you Chi. I'm sorry you've had to go through all that pain. But it's going to get better, I promise."
Chi looked at her and asked, "How?" Her mother smiled, "You know that boy, Tamaki?" The younger whitette nodded. "He's going to help you through these times. And he'll stay by you the whole time. May it be physical or spiritual, he'll stand by you." Chi looked at her and smiled, wiping away some of the tears.
"Now Chi, you're going to walk up to someone that will help you. I know you may not want to leave, but I'll be with you. You need to remember that." Chi nodded and hugged her one last time. "I love you mom." "I love you to baby."
Chi opened her eyes again to see a pair of familiar purple ones. "Chi what are you doing here?" Tamaki asked. Her eyes started to fill with tears again as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Tamaki was shocked at first, but then he relaxed. His arms went around her waist and he rubbed her back. "Chi what's wrong? Can you tell me?"
She looked at him and nodded. Then she started, "If you want to understand what happened now you're going to need to know the past." He nodded as she continued, "My life was normal. I lived with my mom and dad and was happy. Then when I was six my mom died in a car accident. My dad couldn't take it so he started drinking. He became an alcoholic. After some time he started to bet me saying it was my fault for my mom's death. The beatings continued till now." Tamaki's eyes were wide and he had a hand over his mouth.
"Today he did something new. He yelled at me like always, but then…"she started to tear up. Tamaki was kneeling in front of her, wiping away her tears. He looked down and saw her jeans were unbuttoned. "Chi did your father try to…" he look at her and saw the answer in her eyes.
"Oh Chi." He wrapped his arms around her as silent tears went down her face. When they pulled away he grabbed his cell phone and called Kyouya. "Kyouya, We need your help. Yes we. Chi. We need some protection. I'll explain later, just send help. Her apartment. Thanks."
He looked at Chi and helped her stand up from the park bench. She was a bit unstable from sleeping on the wood, but Tamaki helped stable her. He lead her to the limo and they went to her house.
Outside was the rest of the host club with Haruhi and Haruhi's father. Tamaki looked at Kyouya and he said, "My father wouldn't allow me to bring them without a reason so I brought them." Tamaki nodded and they looked at Chi. Haruhi walked over to Chi and asked, "Are you okay?" She nodded and looked at the others. She looked back at Tamaki and Haruhi then turned her gaze back to the others. "Allow me to explain."
A/N: I'll try to get an update in the next month or so. Thanks for reading! Review please.
