"Talking"
Thinking
Chapter Seven: Let Love Lead The Way.
They rode out the end of the storm together. Haruhi was still terrified of thunder, which was to be expected, since for the past three months they had been stranded on the island completely exposed to the elements.
'Still,' Takashi thought as he held her, 'It seems as if she is not as scared as she used to be, when she wouldn't be able to move.'
She was still frightened of course, but now, she could still function. But then again, it was only when he was with her that she could relax at all. Takashi glanced at the roof of their makeshift home. It was only a matter of time before it eroded away all together. It was only straw and sticks after all. He would have to figure out a way to somehow make it so it wouldn't leak.
Haruhi relaxed in Takashi's arms. The wind had stopped blowing. The thunder and lightening had ceased as well. She squirmed out of his grasp after kissing his brow. "I'm going to go see how extensive the damage is."
Exiting the hut she found that the many coconut husks they had left out had retained the rainwater. Lifting one to her lips, she eagerly drank of it. Suddenly feeling sick, she rushed into the woods.
"Gahh!" she was kneeling at the base of a tree. She sat up and wiped her mouth. What was that? Maybe she was getting sick. They had been living on a deserted island after all. As Haruhi was walking back to the camp, she spotted a bird on the ground. It appeared to have been mauled by some animal.
"Poor thing..." she said to herself. As she slipped through the trees she caught a glimpse of Takashi. He seemed to be worried.
"Hey...what's wrong?" she called as she exited the forest.
He rushed to her. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes...why wouldn't I be?" Haruhi asked him. She was confused.
Takashi pointed toward something on the ground. When she looked, she saw it was some kind of tracks. "What is that?" she asked.
"Boar." he answered her. "Male, pretty big."
"Ah." she knew he had been worried for her sake. She hugged him. "Thank you for worrying about me Takashi. I'm sorry." she apologized.
"It's okay," he leaned in to kiss her. He looked slightly hurt when she pushed him away. "What's...wrong?"
"I ah...got sick...just now...I wouldn't want to kiss me right now. Ahaha." she scratched her head in a cute manner.
Takashi's eyes narrowed slightly. He placed a hand on her head. "You don't have a fever..." he muttered.
She blushed. "You don't have to worry, I'm fine." Haruhi said with a smile. "I promise."
"...if you say so." he didn't sound too sure.
Tamaki cleared his voice loudly. The noise in the third music room dulled to silence. "Everyone, I have an important announcement. As of today, all club activities are canceled until further notice. Thank you for your patronage." he bowed low at the waist.
Shouts of protest rang through the room. One voice in particular could be heard. It was one of Haruhi's exclusive customers. The lovely young lady who had taught Haruhi the finer points of ballroom dancing. "Is it because Haruhi-Kun and Mori-Senpai aren't here?"
Kyoya spoke up. "Well due to the tragic circumstances, we feel it is only right that we close the club. The rest of our members have yet had time to properly grieve for the loss." he said in a clipped tone. He glanced at Tamaki and the rest. The unspoken question clear to the five of them.
With a nod, Tamaki raised his hand into the air to quiet the room once more. "I have one more thing to say to you ladies, and it is rather late to be telling you all, but...we, that is to say, the host club, have been keeping some important information from you all, for some time now." Tamaki apologized.
"When we first met our Haruhi, it was completely by accident. You see, Haruhi had accidentally broken a very expensive Renaissance vase in the first semester. We forced Haruhi to join the host club to pay back the resulting eight million yen debt. At first, we thought nothing other than Haruhi was a very ordinary boy. Nothing very special about him. That is, until we found the truth." Tamaki looked directly at the girls.
"You see, the truth was that Haruhi was, in fact, a woman." he paused at their cries of shock. "We forced her to keep her gender a secret, so she could pay back the debt. But after a while, we grew to care for her. All of us here at the host club. Soon, her debt was almost gone, and the twins and I, would pull her into a little squabble so we could break something, and Kyoya would add to her debt to keep her here. We loved her so much you see, that we didn't want her to leave."
The girls who had been Haruhi's customers just smiled, they knew something like that had been going on. They hadn't cared though, as Haruhi was very kind to them, and listened to them just talk about anything, always with a smile on her face.
"When we were on the cruise, it was revealed that Haruhi had been in love with someone from the host club. That someone was Mori-Senpai." Kyoya told them. "When Haruhi fell overboard, Mori jumped after her as well, trying to save her. So not only did we lose two of our best friends, and hosts, but they lost out on the chance to experience life together. It is for these reasons that we will be closing the Host club until further notice. It will take some time, but I am sure that you will wait patiently for us. Thank you." he bowed to them as did the rest of the club.
The club had long since emptied. The guests had gone home knowing the truth. Kyoya heard a beautiful sound coming from the piano, and he knew that Tamaki was playing. He heard a soft voice singing along with the music.
'Hunny-Senpai?' Kyoya thought to himself. He edged his way toward the curtain that hid them from view. He stood in a shadow outside the silken fabric.
"What makes this world go round,
Will the answer let her down?
She is so sweet and young,
And her life has just begun.
What does her future hold?
That's the story left unknown.
Will she make it through her days,
Let our love lead the way." Tamaki sang with a clear voice.
Tamaki played the notes to perfection, with tears in his eyes.
"Part of me laughs, (oh)
Part of me cries.
Part of me wants to question why, (question why)
Why is there joy?
And why is there pain? (ooh)
Why is there sunshine and the rain?
One day you're here,
Next you are gone.
No matter what we must go on.
Just keep the faith,
And let love lead the way." Hunny sang the chorus.
"Everything will work out fine,
If you let love, love lead the way." they sang this together.
"Sitting there all alone,
In the window of her room.
Watching the world go by,
Brings tears to her eyes.
All she sees is hurt and pain,
She wants to break the chain.
She'll keep pressing everyday,
And she'll find her own sweet way." Tamaki's voice seemed to crack as he sang.
"Part of me laughs. (me laughs)
Part of me cries. (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why. (wants to question why)
Why is there joy?
One day you're here, (you're here)
Next you are gone. (you're gone)
No matter what we must go on. (I will go on)
Just keep the faith, (keep your faith)
And let love lead the way. (I know, I know, I know, ooh whoa)" Hunny was crying now.
"You can be all that and still can be who you are.
You gotta know for sure that it isn't make believe.
You may feel weak but you are strong,
Don't you give up if..." Kaoru's voice joined the fray as his brother started to sing as well.
"If you keep holding on, you'll never be wrong.
Just close your eyes cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah." Hikaru finished the stanza.
"Part of me laughs,
Part of me cries. (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why. (question)
Why is there pain?
Why is there sunshine then the rain?
One day you're here, (you're here)
Next you are gone. (you're gone)
No matter what we must go on. (I will)
Just keep the faith,
And let love lead the way. (lead the way)" the four sang this together, Hikaru and Kaoru held Hunny's hand.
"Part of me laughs, (I laugh)
Part of me cries. (I cry)
Part of me wants to question why. (Question why)
Why is there joy? (So much joy)
Why is there pain? (So much pain)
Why is there sunshine then the rain?
One day you're here, (You're here)
Next you are gone. (You're gone)
No matter what we must go on. (I will)
Just keep the faith,
And let love lead the way. (Lead the way)" Kyoya joined in as he stepped to join them. His voice mingling with theirs to create the perfect harmony.
"Everything will work out fine,
If you let love, love lead the way.
Love lead the way." they all sang the last bit of the song together. Tamaki played the last few notes before the song ended. His tears fell onto the piano.
"I thought, that this song was...right for the two of them...you know?" he asked them with a small smile. "This is their song now...it's all for them..."
Takashi had been observing Haruhi for several days now, and watching her actions and mannerisms. He kept his eyes on her constantly, never saying a thing to let her know he was. It seemed she couldn't drink the water from the coconut husks any longer. She would get sick. He knew she was trying to hide it but he knew that she was tired a lot. He stood deciding to confront her.
He strode over to the tree where she was currently expelling the contents of her stomach. He pulled her hair back from her face. It had gotten longer in the few months they had been there. Her hair grew fast, it seemed. When she was done he led her to a small freshwater stream he had found the month before. He helped her to kneel down to rinse her mouth.
Haruhi looked up at Takashi with thanks. She frowned when she saw the serious expression on his face. He sat next to her on the ground, and took her hands. "Takashi?" she asked. "Are you okay?"
"Haruhi...is there something you need to tell me." he spoke in a longer sentence than he usually did.
She looked at him questioningly. "I don't understand?"
He sighed and rested his head on his knee. He should have figured. Haruhi could be so oblivious sometimes. While it was obvious to him, she had no idea. His eyes flickered towards her. She was looking at him for an explanation.
"Haruhi..." he swallowed back his nervousness and fear. "You're pregnant."
A/N: Please review and let me know what you think, as I don't usually do songs in my stories. However in this case, I found this one fitting to the chapter. I couldn't help myself.
