Yellow Umbrella: Tamaki Suoh Love Story

Chap. 11: The Stollen Administrator

"They what?!" Tamaki screaches. "It seems the vollyball team decided to start up again and they want to take our administrator for themselves." Kyouya states. "That can't be! Without an administrator, the host club wont be able to exist!" Koaru points out. "Alright, so then we fight for our administrator, is all." Haruhi shrugs. "And how the are we gonna be able to do that?" Tamaki nearly shouts. "We beat them in a baseball match. Whoever wins gets the administrstor." Haruhi says. "And how many of you here know how to play baseball?" Kyouya asks. Everyone raises a hand, except Tamaki.

"You've got to be joking. Even you can play, Haruhi?" Tamaki asks. Haruhi smiles her big bright smile. "Of course! I played all the time at my old school." she says. "Even you, Atsumi?" Tamaki asks with hopeful eyes. She giggles silently and nods. "Well, that's just great... Our own team leader can't even play the sport." Hikaru growls. "Maybe we could teach him." Honey pipes up. "If possible." Mori says. Atsumi's stunned by the sudden comment made by the tall young man.

'I've never heard him speak before... I don't think...' she sweat drops at her own thought. "What are we gonna do, Senpai?" Haruhi asks Tamaki. "I guess we'll have to put up with that, then." Tamaki says. "Don't worry. I'm sure Atsumi and Haruhi would be able to teach you how to play in no time, isn't that right, Boss." the twins chime together, big mischivious smiles on their faces. "And since vollyball is usually played out on the sand, that means..."

"A day at the becach!" Honey smiles brightly. The suns hot rays, mixed with the cooling breezes gave the beach perfect weather. It was amazing. The guys all arrived at the beach with their trunks on, while Atsumi and Haruhi wore cover-ups to hide their swimming suits from the boys...temporarily.

"I can't believe I let you drag me back out here again." Haruhi frowns. "It'll be fun. And at least now you get to swim since none of our clients tagged along this time. Kaoru shrugs. The boys played with their water guns while Honey and Atsumi sat together making a sand castle with Mori watching over them.

Tamaki sighs at the sight, letting a smile grace his lips as he watches her. Her long brown hair blowning with the wind, her big brown eyes sparkling against the water. She was absolutely beautiful. "You're making it obvious, Tamaki. You love her. Go and talk to her." Kyouya says, placing a hand on his shoulder. Tamaki gulps. He'd never been this nervous to talk to someone, better yet Atsumi. Why was his stomch notting up then?

"Hey, Atsumi!" he calls out, waving her down. Ripping her eyes away from the castle she was buliding, she sees Tamaki runnind towards her. She smiles and waves back. Uppon his arrival, he asks, "Arer you ready to teach me yet? We don't know when the tournament is, but I want to get as much practice as possible." he says. Atsumi nods and stands her feet, dusting off any sand that may have gotten into her hair.

Tamaki grunts as he serves the ball. Atsumi gives him a thumbs up when she hit's the ball. Kaoru hits the ball next - him and Hikaru being on a team, while Atsumi helps Tamaki on the other. Being tiny, it's hard for Atsumi to spkie the ball, but with skill Atsumi has a good technique when it comes to  making the other team miss...

The practice goes great, other than the rather jealous side of Haruhi that flashes as she watches them play ball. Kyouya takes a seat next to her, a small smile on his face. "Seems like someone is a little upset." he says. Haruhi denies. "Sitting her pouting wont make anything better. You have to fight for what you want, Haruhi. If you're not ready to give up, then don't. Tamaki still likes you...a lot. Honestly, I think you have a better chance with Tamaki then Atsumi does. You guys have known each other longer." Kyouya says. "That doesn't mean anything... I guess we'll have to see soon enough, then right?" Haruhi fakes a smile. "Well, since you put it that way... Haruhi, right now...you're loosing." Kyouya refers to it as a game. Haruhi continues to watch them play and without a doubt, she knew he was right.
