Chapter 5
Host clubs POV.
3 Days later…
It was the 4th day of their visit with Haruhi and everything seemed to be going smoothly the 3 days before. Bu today was the fourth day and little different.
Tamaki burst into the room he shared with Kyouya who was still asleep. He was the only one in the host club still asleep. The weird thing was that Haruhi hadn't woken them up or made them break feast like she did every day before. "KYOUYA MY LITTLE GIRL IS MISSING." Unlike in the past Kyouya didn't glare he looked over his shoulder with the what? Face. He noticed everyone at the door "I was wondering why she wasn't waking me up… Did you check the whole house you idiot?" "YES AND MY LITTLE GIRL ISNT HERE!" Tamaki was panicking thinking of all the bad things that could have happened.
Kyouya pried himself out of bed "alright, alright!" He slipped on a shirt and put on his glasses. He walked into the hall and looked around him… Then he heard a faint beat of music. So she was in the house where wouldn't they have looked? He turned to the host club "where did you check?" Hikaru and Kaoru came up to him "everywhere we think where else would she be?" Honey looked around "I looked too I couldn't find Haru-Chan."
Kyouya looked behind him at the staircase "even the attic?" Everyone in the host club went silent which pretty much meant nope didn't check there. Mori wanted to slap himself in the face so he did it mentally how could they forget the attic. They all walked to the attic and listened and could hear music. So she was in there.
They opened the door but Haruhi couldn't hear them past I'm Going Through Changes by Eminem. She didn't see them come in she didn't look at them either. She didn't need to though even from a side they could see the deep circles under her eyes and a sad distant look on her face. Her eyes were puffy and red she had been crying. She painted long strokes she looked as if she wasn't even living. Was this her depression? Wondered Hikaru and Kaoru they had never been depressed or seen it.
She was like a zombie but then something happened. Her eyes tightened and she started to look alive as if there was someone inside her. The song changed and she picked up her painting and looked at it cocking her head. Then she threw it smashing it in the process. She went like a tornado through the room kicking things knocking them over throwing them. She was mad burning hatred.
Honey was on Mori's shoulders hiding, Tamaki stared at his "daughter" sadness in his eyes, Kyouya remained calm and the twins were trying not to panic. Tamaki understood than she was suffering she was suffering alone. The twins watched as the girl they let into their world storm around the room destroying everything in her path.
When I'm Gone was on by Eminem as soon the chorus came on its like something struck her. She fell dead onto her knees than onto her but pulling her knees up to her chest. Sometime in there she still had not seen the host club. They were about to talk to her when Kyouya stretched out his arm blocking their way shaking his head. He lived with a family of doctors he knew what to do.
The host club watched as the Shadow King spoke with the fragile girl before him. No one knew he had it in him to be so nice. Tamaki smiled remembered Ranka telling him Haruhi affected people without knowing it. Sure enough there was the Shadow King trying to soothe her and calm her down. Kaoru looked at his brother and saw his pained expression. Kaoru knew Hikaru loved Haruhi but was too scared to say anything and ruin the family they had. Kaoru took his brothers hand in his and gave it a squeeze. Hikaru looked at his brother worried was she going to be okay? No one had ever seen her like this? He wondered. Honey looked sadly down a Mori hoping he or anyone could do something. He shook his head he seemed stone face when in fact he was worried.
Kyouya stood up and walked towards the rest of the host club. His stone face was extra guarded "We'll go sightseeing alone today… Excuse me I need to call Ranka." Everyone let him step aside and watched Haruhi get out of her position and stand up. She looked at the host club… She started cleaning her studio back up. They watched and noticed the glittery tears falling down her face. It scolded them seeing her in this pain.
Kyouya motioned them to follow him down the stairs. They closed door and followed him. They went into the living room on the main floor and heard Ranka from the phone "Boys are you there?" Tamaki decided he would talk "yes we are…" "Alright well you guys should go out and leave Haruhi alone no offense to you boys but there is anything you can do here." "Ranka she doesn't seem okay…" "She let her depression get to her today this is how she usually is..." Everyone was shocked she was like that allot then? Ranka continued "Go out and check on her every one and awhile she might snap out of it later. I'm coming home today so I will be home soon." Tamaki sighed "thank you… goodbye now." "Bye."
The host club got ready and went back to the attic. There was Haruhi staring out the window on the day bed not moving. Just staring no expression it was eating her. Everyone could practically see the darkness. It was a like a black blanket is slowly coming over her swallowing her whole. No one seen it before but there it was eating her alive killing off her senses and emotions. "Were going out Haruhi do you want anything." Tamaki asked hoping she would jump up with that smile of hers and get ready. But she didn't move didn't flinch her eyes didn't look at them. They stayed outside not moving. They closed the door and left
Hours later…
The host club returned to the house to see if Haruhi was okay. They walked in and saw her on the main floor. At least she had moved. She had gotten changed too. She was still in her pink pajama bottoms but she had a baggy block hoodie on now. The hood was on covering most of her face and hair. She was curled up in a ball in the corner of the couch reading a book. "Haruhi…" called Hikaru wondering what he was to say. Kaoru finished for him "have you eaten?" She turned ever so slightly her eyes fell on them. Her eyes were the darkest brown they had ever seen on her they were almost black
They stared at her and Honey walked over and put his hand on her lap "Haru-Chan its 4 o'clock you have to eat." She went back to her book totally dismissing them. "We are going out for dinner. Do you want to come with us Haruhi?" Kyouya asked. She didn't answer and ignored them. Tamaki called over "well were going to go now okay Haruhi?" Haruhi didn't make a sound. So this was her depression. This what she was hiding from them? But they were here so why was she still so depressed. They know it didn't go right away but it didn't fade either.
Some more hours later…
10pm
The host club stumbled into the house. They noticed suit cases at the door. Clearly Ranka was home but the house was dead silent. They looked around and noticed a few small lights on in the living room. They all walked into the living room and seen Ranka lying under a blanket on the couch. But he wasn't alone. His arms were wrapped around a little Haruhi who looked like a little broken 7 year old sleeping beside her parents after a bad dream. Her fingers were curled into her father's shirt and her face nestled into him.
It was a cute sight she looked so innocent but also so sad. Ranka opened one eye "hello boys please whisper." He whispered. They sat down Tamaki looked at Haruhi "will she be okay?" Ranka smiled "your concern heartwarming. I can see you're all worried though some are clearly better at hiding it then others." Clearly talking about Kyouya and Mori whose emotions were hard to read. Honey had a gut wrenching feeling inside "will Haru-Chan be okay tomorrow will she be happy again?" Ranka looked down at the little girl beside him "she should be I'm sorry you had to see her like this. Sometimes the depression encases her and she cannot get away especially around this time."
What was this time? They wondered. Kaoru squeezed his twins hand "she had us worried. She wouldn't talk move or speak. She barley looked at us." Hikaru nodded "we were scared." Ranka remembered the first few times Haruhi did that and the gut wrenching fear he felt "I know it's hard seeing her like this but she's okay. How about you head off to bed." Kyouya nodded "yes that is a good idea. Goodnight Ranka. C'mon lets go." The host club followed behind him.
The same thought was going through everyone's head. So that was the true Haruhi Fujioka.
