I'm glad you guys are so happy with the pairing. Kyoko 27, aliengirlguy,Frannienzbabe, Nataly S. Potter, and Silver Melody217 got the AN question right, Harry thinks Tamaki is Lockhart reborn. Though I like Ncalkins guess of a really Hyper Draco but I think that image would give Harry nightmares. I've been typing up the story in word so it seemed really long but when I posted it on Fanfiction it looked really short. I guess it because there no margins ^.^; All spelling mistakes are mine.
Chapter 3: Women and Tea First, Men Last!
Harry and Tagomi toured the ship together before it left port, Harry noticed that there were more males on the ship then he thought. The whole ship had a male staff that looked like they had oozed off the cover of a teen magazine. While the ship itself was grand and really lived up to its namesake the Titanic. There were so many rooms that they only took a peek in each so that they could see them all. Once the ship started moving they found more entertaining actives happening in certain rooms.
A game room had a group of girls that were watching the Hitachiin twins as they did a perfectly in sync dance on a Dance Dance Revolution machine. Harry could not spot a single difference in the baggy overalls and colorful shirts they were wearing.
There was a bar with a pool table where Takashi and Kyoya dressed in suits seemed to be playing a silent game of pool. It was the only event they found so far that was completely quiet despite the fact that there seemed to be tons of girls watching.
They stopped and watched as Huni and Haruhi sung Karaoke on a stage while wearing tuxedos and top hats. Both hosts seem to be having fun swinging Huni's little pink bunny between them as they sang they even started dancing to some of the songs. Harry convinced Tagomi to stay till the event was over then they were off again to see the rest of the ship.
They were just about to go check out the indoor pool where supposedly Tamaki was putting on quite the display, when they were suddenly pulled into a random room the door shutting behind them throwing the place into darkness. When the lights came on Harry stood protectively in front of Tagomi glaring at their perpetrators.
Kyoya still wearing the outfit from the pool hall was seated in front of an ominous looking black machine that beeped every now and then. The Hitachiin twins framed him making the perfect picture of a mob boss and his underlings. A desk with Kyoya's faithful laptop on it stood between them and Harry.
"And this is?" Kyoya asked the twins waving a hand towards Tagomi.
"She was with him." The twins chorused with shrug of their shoulders.
"I see." Kyoya sigh before adjusting his glasses.
"I'm Fujiwara Tagomi of the Fujiwara Foundation." Tagomi said stepping out from behind Harry giving them a little curtsy, or was it a bow. Harry could not tell out of the corner of his eye since he was still glaring at the twins annoyed that they had caught him off guard.
"Forgive us for interrupting your fun; we just needed a quick word with you Potter-san. Then you can both be on your way."
"What do you want?" Harry asked not letting his guard down just yet. He may not have being good at fighting without his wand but he could throw a pretty good punch.
"If I may see your membership card, of course I'll give it back after I'm done." Kyoya reassured when he noticed Harry's hesitation.
"Alight." Harry said pulling it out of his messenger bag he handed to Kyoya. The big machine in the room was revealed to be some kind of card scanning device as Kyoya slid the card in the machine, only to type something on his computer that caused the card to come out the other side.
"To show our appreciation toward our first male patron to visit the host club, everything on the ship will be free as long as you use this card." Kyoya said as he removed it from the machine.
"Congratulations!" The Twins cried as they popped crackers over the two as Kyoya returned Harry's card.
"Thank you, I hope you enjoy the rest of the trip." Kyoya said before showing them out the door not giving them a chance to accept or refuse or to say anything really. Once back in the hall Tagomi started heading in the opposite direction of the swimming pool.
"What about the pool?" Harry asked once he caught up with her.
"Harry-Kun, I think it almost time for dinner." She said looking pointedly at his now modified card.
"Alright, I guess I'll go find a bed then, I haven't seen one yet and I swear we've been over most of the ship." Harry said trying to escape not liking the look in her eye.
Tagomi gave him a disappointed look before sighing. "Harry-kun really, read the broacher. It not like the ship will instantly start to sink the moment that you do." She teased before dragging him to the dining hall.
Harry ended up sitting at a table with some Tamaki-card members. The only reason Harry could tell was because they were using them to order their food and surprisingly Tagomi didn't use Harry's card to order her dinner. Once Harry gotten his free food he hide his membership card and pulled out the brochure.
He understood why Tagomi wanted him to read it. It stated clear on first page how they would be spending there weekend. They were headed to an island where they would be sleeping then they spend Saturday having an island adventure and after another quick boat ride on Sunday they would be home again. The brochure also held info about random events the host club was putting on around the ship. He made a note to visit the Alice and Wonderland tea party that was scheduled.
The dining hall started to fill up with more people as the events came to a halt for short period of time. He was distracted from further examination of the brochure as the girls at the now full table started to talk to him.
"Potter-san, it's a pleasure having you here with us."
"Who is your favorite in the host club Potter-san?"
"How long have you been going to the host club?"
"Harry-kun has only being to the host club once so he probably doesn't have a favorite, yet." Tagomi said noticing that the he was becoming overwhelmed with all the questions.
"He's already on the VIP list then?"
"What, I had to wait a whole semester before I was even invited!"
Others at the table started eyeing him with envy. Luckily conversation ended when everyone started ordering desserts.
"Excuse me, can I have a raspberry sherbet?" Tagomi asked a waiter before stealing Harry's membership card from it hiding place and handing it to the waiter. The waiter didn't even use the scan machine on Harry's card like he did the others; he just stared at the card for second before looking at Harry.
"I see." The waiter said making Harry blushed at the inspection he was receiving. "I will return with your order right away Miss." he said with a bow before giving her the card back.
"Hey, use your own card." Harry said in embarrassment when she handed back him.
"But, I get it for free this way." Tagomi said giving him an innocent look. Harry ignored it in favor of asking a more important question.
"Tagomi-san, why didn't the waiter scan my card?" He whispered to her not wanting to other girls at the table to find out about his free pass.
"You noticed that too, I think it because your card is unique, so it easier for them to tell it apart from the rest of us. Of course there always the obvious reason of you being the only male member."
"How is my card any different from the other members that have Huni's card?" He said choosing not the comment on the second suggestion.
"I've seen ever single membership card they have in the Ouran Host Club and the others are nothing like yours" Tagomi said a smug look on her face before letting out a typical rich girl laugh that was boarding on pure evil.
Harry had actually tried producing that laugh one day while in the safety of his home after hearing Tagomi do it so many times. Hedwig had refused to come back inside the house till he promised never to do it again. "Umm" He responded not really knowing what else to say to Tagomi declaration.
"Here I'll show you, Murakami-san!" Tagomi called, a brown haired girl answered trotting over to their table. "Can I see your membership card?" Tagomi asked kindly, the girl handed it over no questions asked. Tagomi passed it to Harry for his viewing pleasure.
Indeed the card was a lot duller than Harry's card. The picture had Huni riding on top of Takashi's shoulders both wearing martial arts robes and the back had less info on Huni since it was sharing space with the info on Takashi.
"I wonder why my card is so different." Harry thought aloud as the girls around the table start looking at the two cards he had in his hand.
"Well did anything strange happen when you visited the club that one day." Tagomi asked.
Harry thought back to that day remembering the first words Huni said quite easily. Harry's reflection lasted awhile because he soon found his membership card had disappeared from his hand and was now floating among a crowd of excited girls. After his futile attempt at getting his card back he decided to sacrifice it instead so he could get out of the hall before the crowd turned on him. Slipping out the door of the dining hall he slumped over on to the railing of the ship staring into the ocean trying to catch his breath, but his freedom was short lived.
"Potter-san I've been looking for you." a voice said pulling Harry from his relaxed pose. Tamaki moved gracefully towards him before taking up both his hands leaning in close to stare at him. "So the rumors are true. No, this is even better than true!"
"What rumors?" Harry asked backing away trying to create more distance since the other boy seemed to be evading his personal space. He did not like the sound of that word.
"Are you enjoying my host club so far?"
"It alright, I guess." Harry replied realizing that Tamaki only got closer every time he tried to move away.
"Just alright…Hmm, maybe you just haven't been spending time with the right person." Tamaki said starting to pour on the charm. Harry refused to answer that finding it more urgent to free himself from Tamaki's grasp. "Ah, don't be shy I know my very presence is overwhelming at first, but indeed I must look like a pauper in comparison to your beauty." Tamaki slide one hand around Harry waist keeping him from escaping.
"You do know I'm a boy, right." Harry said starting to get angry.
"Such a fine specimen like your self could be nothing else. I, Suoh Tamaki shall… Huni-sempai!" Tamaki said in surprise his advances had suddenly stopped and he appeared to be looking at something behind Harry.
"Where?" Harry turned to see what Tamaki was looking at expecting to see the little blonde boy heading towards them, but the ship looked completely empty, all the girls probably still in the dining hall fighting over his card.
"No, nothing, my mistake, I should be going." Harry was released so quickly that he stumbled slightly before straighten up. He was shocked at the sudden personality reversely Tamaki was displaying, he was glad that the other boy had stopped holding him. But now Tamaki looked like he was about to have a heart attack.
"Tama-chan!" Huni said appearing from behind Tamaki a sunny smile on his face Usa-chan cradled in his arms.
"Huni-sempai, what a pleasant surprise, I was just leaving. I mean I have a concert to get too." Tamaki cried before taking off only a trail of dust lay in his wake.
'Did Huni-chan scare him off' Harry thought before he started to laugh at the sheer idea of it.
"Harry-chan?" Huni said looking up at the other boy a worried expression on his face.
"Sorry, I was just thinking of something." He said quickly before the other boy could start tearing up.
"Harry-chan, do you like it?" Huni asked striking a cute pose in his sailor outfit he was now wearing.
"It looks cute Huni-chan. Oh, you look nice as well Takashi-sempai" Harry said now noticing Takashi standing to the left of Huni wearing an identical outfit.
"Thank you" Takashi said surprising Harry with a reply.
Tagomi suddenly came out of the dining hall looking just as winded as he did her always straight hair looking ruffled.
"Harry-kun I found your card." She said holding out to him while trying to straighten her appearance.
"Thanks" he said sliding it into this messenger bag quickly not wanting the other to host to see his unique card.
"We are going to get dressed up for a tea party. You should join us." Huni said addressing both Harry and Tagomi.
"Sure, I had planned to go anyways, how about you Tagomi?"
"I'm going to Tamaki's karaoke concert, of course. No offense Huni-sempai, Mori-sempai."
"Then come find us in ten minutes, Harry-chan" Huni said before running off Takashi following behind him.
After walking Tagomi to her event to kill time he headed to the tea party. The long table set up for the party already had about ten girls sitting at it but Huni had saved Harry a seat next to him. Takashi set at the head of the table dressed as the Mad Hatter while Huni was of course dressed as the March Hare sitting to his left him and Usa-chan was sitting in a teakettle.
Harry got his first glimpse of Huni's host skills as he told the girls about how Takashi had saved him from falling off the ship while eating a whole cake by himself. Huni's ability to consume food did not add up weight or height wise but seem to be a special talent that only he had.
As the party started winding down Harry was staring at his tea cup finding it strange as the liquid had a slight tilt in it, he played around with his tea trying to figure out how the phenomenon was created wondering if someone had cast a spell on his teacup when Takashi suddenly stood up from his seat.
"The ship is sinking." he stated.
"Yaah, Lets head to the lifeboats everyone." Huni said as Takashi swung him easily up on to his shoulder the two leading the way as everyone ran from the hall. Huni's excitement kept the group from panicking right out.
After storing his messenger bag next to his suitcase that oddly enough was already on the lifeboat Harry stepped back on the ship to look for Tagomi."Someone is still on the ship." Harry heard a girl cry, looking around he spotted a figure standing at the very front of the ship. Seeing that everyone else was still busy evacuating he rushed further toward the figure his saving people habit kicking in.
"Harry-chan, wait!" Huni called when he saw him pass by, but Harry was too far away to hear by then.
Harry moaned to himself looking at the lifeboats longingly as they it slowly moved away from the ship heading towards the island. His supposed damsel in distress, Tamaki was dancing around in the background wearing a ship's captain outfit while singing. The sun was setting behind them lighting up the ship like a giant spotlight.
"Potter-san, what do you think of my Titanic recreation." Tamaki said finally addressing the other boy. "Soon the back part of the ship will be weighed down, lifting the tip of the ship into the air creating the perfect stage for my Karaoke finale as the ship sinks into the dark depths below."
"Don't tell me, this was planed wasn't it." Harry begged.
Tamaki nodded as he waved towards the lifeboat full of girls who were waving handkerchiefs and crying Tamaki's name. "Don't worry, I don't mind sharing my spotlight with you Potter-san."
Harry made a move towards Tamaki not sure what he was going to do to the other boy. It probably would have had them both floating in the water but Huni was suddenly blocking his path holding out a bunny printed live saver. "Here Harry-chan I think you need this more than me."
"Huni-chan what are you doing here?" Harry said looking at the other boy in surprise his anger forgotten.
"I've come to rescue you." Huni said pulling Harry to the very tip of the ship.
"Here hold Usa-chan." Huni said pushing the pink bunny into his hand.
"What are you going to do?" Harry asked nervously.
"This!" Huni cried before he easily lifted Harry up in his arms and jump off the ship using the railing to boost them higher into the air. They flew up for awhile before gravity caught up with them, Harry being release from Huni's hold before they hit the water. Both screamed the whole way down Harry more in fear than excitement.
The buoyancy of the live saver pushed Harry back above water as he scrambled to secure the pink bunny trying to floating away. Tamaki was now standing on the very tip of the ship that they just jumped from singing some ridiculous song. "I knew I shouldn't have gotten on that boat." Harry said his lifesaver bouncing in the waves created by the Titanic as it slowly sank Tamaki still preach on top of it now giving a speech that Harry would have found moving if he wasn't personal plotting Tamaki's demise. 'He not even in any danger, I'm more worried about the fact that he actually sank his own ship.'
"Are you alright Harry-chan?" Huni asked swimming up to him before slowly started pushing Harry to shore.
"I'm fine just surprised, I didn't expect you to be able to pick me up like that." Harry said turning slowly in the floater so that he was facing the other boy Usa-chan safely in Harry's arms.
"Harry-chan was very light" Huni said as he helped Harry out of the water once they reached land.
"I'll take that as a compliment, here Usa-chan and your liver saver." He said passing the items to the other boy.
"Thanks Harry-chan." Huni said but Harry was no longer listening, instead he was staring at the Huni's well toned chest area. It was easy to see now why Huni was able to pick him up so easily. The top part of March Hare outfit Huni was wearing was glued to his skin making him look like a wet t-shirt model. The view was covered up as Huni slipped on his life saver.
Harry quickly looked away blushing when he realized that he was staring only to make out Tagomi rushing down the beach towards them a group of girls following behind her.
"Harry-kun I was so worried when I saw that you were still on the ship." She said once she reached him the group girls passed and were now surrounding Huni. It seemed like his daring rescue had increased his fan base.
"That's funny, I could have sworn I saw you on the lifeboat and last I checked my name wasn't Tamaki-sama."
Tagomi coughed softly into her handkerchief. "Details, but I really am happy you're safe." Harry smiled at the sincerity he heard in her voice.
"Thanks Tagomi-san, let's get inside I need to get out of these wet clothes then I just want to sleep for awhile" He said not wanting to admit he was uncomfortable watching all those girls fawning over Huni. Harry didn't realize till he got to his hotel room that his white polo shirt was just as revealing as Huni outfit and that the Wizarding War plus Quidditch had left him with a body that many could appreciated, even Huni.
