Princess

by Liea Rose

It was a late afternoon when I had made my way up to the third music room, had I known then what I know now I don't think I would have had the courage to make my way up that staircase and down the hall to the double doors. My life changed that afternoon and at this point the powers that be only know if it was a change for the better.

Chapter I

I can hear the light clacking of my shoes against the tile with each step I take. The fabric of my dress moves ever so slightly, even though I'm alone for now, moving with such grace is simply natural at this point in my life. I walk the halls of the west building and make my way up the stairs looking around, familiarizing myself with everything. I walk down a long hall lined with large windows much like others had been in the other buildings. "Hm…?" My attention is drawn to a sign above a door reading 'Music Room 3'. This door looks nicer than the ones for the other music rooms. I move over curious to see what's special about this one. I hesitate hearing voices inside but can't quite make out what they're saying from this side. "There must be a practice going on...I shouldn't interrupt…" I run my hand lightly over the design of the handle making it open slightly on accident. I hold onto the handle now not letting the door open anymore then it already was and close it trying to be quiet about it. I turn around quickly and start to head back down the hall away from the music room.

I can hear the door open again behind me but don't stop hoping, praying, that the one who opened it is just leaving. "Miss?" A gentleman's voice calls out to me and I can hear him approaching me now so I stop obviously caught snooping where I shouldn't have been.

"Yes?" I turn to see a tall blond with gentle eyes looking down at me. He stands closer to me than I think he should be, but it makes sense in a way, he's tall, he can take longer strides than I can.

"You don't need to run away," he takes my hand gently "What did you need Princess?" He smiles kindly.

"I...I wasn't looking for anything, I found the door pretty, I'm sorry for interrupting your practice" I move my hand away and put it in my other across the front of my dress standing in front of him bowing my head apologetically and blushing lightly. I can hear him chuckle and I look back at him, "What is it?"

"This music room was shut down, it's now used for other club activities, join us Princess" He takes me by my waist gently and walks me to the doors again. Once inside we're greeted by six other handsome young men. "Welcome!" They all smile at me speaking together.

I move away from the blond that was still holding me, "What kind of a club is this?" I'm visibly uncomfortable being the only female in the room and stay close to the door just incase I need to make a run for it.

"We're a host club, today is a day we don't usually have guests however" A dark haired one with glasses speaks up "Tamaki has decided to make an exception for you it would seem though Princess" He gestures to the blond beside me once again. "Tamaki is our club's president"

"I see...and the rest of you are all hosts as well then?" I look at them all, for me this is all very strange, I've only heard of host clubs and now I'm standing in one.

Tamaki took my hand once again and kissed the back of it gently "It's our job as hosts to make every woman happy, so, what's your type Princess?" he gestures to them all individually "The cool type like Kyoya? Something more playful like our devils twins Hikaru and Kaoru? The boy-lolita Hunny-senpai? The strong and silent dark horse like Mori-senpai? Our newest addition, the natural, Haruhi? Or perhaps;" he pulls me in closer and takes my chin gently in his hands "I'm more your type Princess?"
