The Overflow

Chapter 11

At the classical music club room. The Host Club looks through the window to see Shiro. "There he is. It's Shirou-chan!" Honey said while taking notice of the king's apprentice. As everyone's attention was brought onto the boy we each unknowingly eased dropped on the small conversation between him and a girl. "Takaouji-kun. Have you practiced the new piano part?" She questioned. "No, not much..." Shiro told the girl. "Then I'll teach you, so let's play together." The girl offered Shiro. "It's okay, I don't...There's only one grand piano, so you use it, Kamishiro." Much different than before, the boy showed kindness which seemed to dazzle Hina. "Ah... Okay! I understand. Then tell me when you feel like playing." The girl told him oblivious to his actual feelings.

Hina sits at the piano and starts playing. A young girl comes out of the club room. "Excuse us, fair lady." Kyoya spoke to the girl. Before his friend held out a white rose for the girl. A white rose often represented purity which just so happened to be used to represent many children considering they are more naive and oblivious to the world. "I wasn't able to find a rose more beautiful than you, but please accept this." The host club king said secretly bribing the young girl which seemed rather creepy considering she was in a smaller grade. The girl accepts the rose. "By the way, I was wondering whether you could tell me about the girl playing the piano over there."Tamaki asked while trying to avoid the action of pointing because that would have been considered rude. "Kamishiro Hina-chan?" The girl said while wondering if we were all talking upon the same girl. "Hina-chan, huh?" Tamaki questioned, still confused.

"Yes, her. What can you tell us? Do you know of anyone who likes her?" I asked the girl sweetly before her smile dropped ever so slightly. "No, it won't do you good if you fall in love with Hina-chan. You know, Hina-chan is going to move soon. Hina-chan will be going to Germany all of next week because of her dad's job." The small girl said. Before long, Shiro made his way out of his club room. "What are you doing here?!" Shiro asked while looking rather angry upon the sight of our appearances. "Is this the part where we get in trouble?" I whispered to Kyoya before he whispered back. "Not yet." The boy said. "Wait...what do you mean by yet?" I asked before he replied with nothing more than giving his signature smirk.

Within a split second, Tamaki hoists Shiro off the ground. "Wha... Wha... Hey! What are you doing?!" Shiro questioned and before an answer could be given the young boy was tossed over the blonde bimbos shoulder. From anyone else's view it would look like we were torturing and kidnapping the kid so we had to make a hasty getaway fast. "Stop struggling." Tamaki said while grasping onto the boy as he squirmed around more. As we began to walk away with Shiro and the rest of the Host Club in tow, Hina came out of the room. "Everyone, retreat." The host club king called out. After we reached the main building of our beloved school the small boy began to throw a tantrum. "Put me down!!" Shiro yelled as he was being carried into the Host Club room. Tamaki gently tossed Shiro onto one of the many sofas in the room before the boy complained, which seemed to be the only thing he knew how to do.

"Ngh... What's the meaning of this, you stupid king?!" Shiro shouted while insulting Tamaki, however Tamaki didn't bite his tongue to hold back but rather fired back at the boy. You're the stupid one! You wanted me to teach you how to make girls happy? Don't make me laugh!" Tamaki said as he threw insults at the little boy. The other hosts watched before the tall male beside me nudged my arm. Many would see it as an accident but the reality is he wished for me to help the conversation glide smoothly. "What you want to please isn't many unspecified girls, but only Kamishiro Hina... her and only her, right?!" I questioned the boy recalling the past few days. Tamaki nodded before stepping up to take the lead.

"You're the only one that can find out how to make her happy. Listen, our job as hosts is to make girls happy. But for a girl that you personally love, you cannot approach her as a host. You can only approach her as a man! What you should aim for isn't a fully-initiated host...... but a fully-initiated man, right?"Tamaki asked for clarification even though he already knew the answer. A small frown made its way to the boy's face before he began to speak. "It doesn't matter anymore. I don't have time left...I just wanted to watch her play the piano as much as I could... so..." Tamaki showed no respect as he interrupted the boy mid-sentence. "The practice piece just now... That's Mozart's sonata for a duet performance, right?" Tamaki questioned before he began to pull a curtain aside, revealing a grand piano. The piano was definitely more of a classical and expensive model. The strings and wooden work of the piano seem to hold no age even though the piano has been in the room for years. "Was there a grand piano in this room before?"Haruhi asked, ignoring the obvious labeling of the room. "This is a music room, after all." Hikaru said before his twin continued. "Yes, even though we don't use it." Kaoru stated.

"Correction. You guys don't use it, however Tamaki does." I told the hosts, Haruhi looked over at the said male as if her admiration grew. Tamaki then began playing the piano piece. The piece was beautiful and captured the rarest of musical tones allowing the musician to create spin offs of the original piece if necessary. After his playing ceased the small boy looked more amazed and eager to be his apprentice. "For all mornings, lunch breaks, and afterschool times all next week, you'll be having concentrated piano lessons. You better be prepared. "Huh? Why?" The boy questioned thinking the older male had gone crazy. Tamaki made notice to his curiosity before answering. "You came to be my apprentice, right? Plus, it appeared to me as though that girl wanted to play with you." Tamaki took notice as we began to formulate a plan.

Some days later. Hina arrives at the Host Club room with an invitation. Hina opened the door, as the Host Club greeted her. "Welcome, princess." The host club welcomed the young girl in, going along with the plan. Today's main event is... Takaoji Shirou's piano piece." Tamaki announced as he motioned the boy towards the piano. Within a moment the special guest was also seated awaiting an invitation from her crush. The boy didn;t wait much longer before offering. "Let's play together." Shiro told the girl that she agreed. As the two played the duet the melodies shifted nicely gaining  much attention from the guest around. And with that the host club achieved giving out guidance to the needy. However ten days later, at the Host Club, Shiro is surrounded by girls as they fawn over him. Which caused his own jealousy to arise which we happily ignored. That was the end of our little adventure with the small naughty type. The rest will remain within the melody as much like the piano. We all have our secrets and within time they are always revealed, that is the secrets within the keys.
