Ouran High School Host Club: Hosting a Whole New Party.
Takahiro Kaneko, 'The Great Golden Child'... was bored.
Bored, red eyes scanned the books in the shelves from under golden bangs. Tan cheeks pulled into a tight frown as he pursued the options in front of him. His father had told him so many good things about Ouran's High School programs, about the freedom he'd have... but there was something missing.
The Newspaper was a joke, the Occult club was dreary, the sports clubs were cutthroat, was it really so much to ask for a bit of fun without the dark corners, imagined gossip, and backstabbing? Takahiro sighed and lowered his hand to his forehead, what's the use, there weren't any clubs worth joining at this school, and he had at least three more years to go.
Takahiro Kaneko shook his head, there had to be something he could do, somewhere he could have a bit of fun without worrying about idiots trying to take advantage of him! "Come on... huh, a school history book?" He said as he pulled the large, hardcover book from the shelf. "History of Ouran, Part Seventeen, Extracuricular activities?"
He flipped through the pages about before huffing and tossing the book over his shoulder. "Boring~, there's got to be something in here..." He said as the book landed spine-first on the table behind him. The pages fell to the side as the book opened up, landing in the H section. "History... History... I'm in the wrong part of the library, honestly!"
Takahiro spun around and threw his arms out. "Surely there's somethi- what the?" he said as he looked at the pages the book landed on. "Host Club, Founder, Tamaki Suoh, Last known Head... Tamaki Suoh, it only lasted three years?"
He took another look at the pages, then sat down in front of the book and began to read. "Host Club, students would take time creating a relaxing and fun atmosphere for other students to unwind after class... Hosts would work together to create events for everyone to join in on, ranging from 'commoner' games to raffles, all while comforting 'clients' and serving tea, coffee, cakes, and other treats to create a happy space for students of all ages-It's perfect!"
Takahiro stood up from the chair, holding the book in his hands as he flipped the page. "During it's three active years, the Ouran Host Club was able to help in fixing a number of interpersonal relationships within the student body, resolve issues within other student clubs, and was named one of the best clubs to go to for to relax without worry of ulterior motives!" He read aloud, his eyes glittering with excitement. "Unfortunately, the club closed with the graduation of Tamaki Suoh, the founder of the club, due to no other students stepping up to take his place..."
That... was a problem.
"Gaaah, the perfect club and it's been closed for nearly thirty years now, that's just my luck!" Takahiro said, dropping the book back onto the table and grabbing his head. He slouched back into the seat and leaned over the table, elbows pressing against the wood as he held his head in his hands. "This is so unfair, honestly just because no-one was willing to step up to the- That's it!"
Takahiro grinned and snapped his fingers. "I'll do it, I'm sure with it's reputation, the school will want it opened up again, I just have to ask!" He said as he grabbed the book, stuck it under his arm, and turned towards the door as he straightened his tie and blazer. He combed his hair, put on his best smile, and made his way for the Dean's office. "I'll walk right up to the Dean, explain I want to take over the Host Club, and then he'll say-"
"No."
"Aw come on, please sir, surely the school would only benefit from the Host Club's return!" Takahiro said as he stood before the Dean of the school. "According to this, due to the Hosts helping tutor visitors who had low grades, the schools grade point average not only went up, but was at one of it's highest averages!"
"Takahiro, listen-"
"Not only that, but the club paid for itself numerous times over through charity events and various fundraisers, not to mention one of the female varcity teams even claimed it was due to the Host Club's motivation that they were able to win the championship!" Takahiro said as he moved to another page. "And they even managed to get the Newspaper club to shape up after they allowed the club exclusive interviews!"
"Takahiro Kaneko, listen." The Dean said as he held up a hand, getting a pout from the golden haired boy. He put his hand down and gestured to the seat in front of him. Once the boy sat down he cleared his throat. "I said you can't retake control of the Host Club, it's unfortunately been closed due to both how long it's been without an active leader and because Music Room Three has currently been taken over by the Woodwind Band Club."
The Dean held up his hand again when Takahiro moved to stand up. "That said, provided you're willing to accept a few changes, I see no reason not to allow you the chance to reform The Host Club."
"I'll do whatever it takes sir!" Takahiro said as his eyes lit up, surely the Dean wouldn't have too many strange restrictions for the club, not with it's history.
"First, times are changing a bit, and to make sure the club can help as many people as possible you'll need to allow the club to have Hostesses, not just Hosts." The Dean said. Takahiro could accept that, one of the hosts in the registry within the book had an effeminate name anyway. "Second, you mentioned they helped their fellow students study, that will need to be an advertised feature, which means your clubs members will need to keep up their own studies."
Takahiro could accept that as well, it wouldn't look good on the club to be filled with idiots after all.
"Finally, since this is obviously a team effort... you'll need to go find people willing to join you before it becomes official."
Takahiro blinked as the Club Registration sheet was handed back to him. "Sir?"
"As in it's denied for now, come back with some friends who you think will be able to make sure this thing stays afloat and I'll let you restart this 'Host Club'. At least two of them will have to be girls, now get going before you're late for class!"
Takahiro ran out of the Deans office before the man could get angry, and then looked at the registatration sheet. "I have to find my team first huh... I can do that... probably..." He said as he looked down the hall to see dozens of other students marching through the walkways. He felt a bead of sweat roll down his neck. His eyes widened as he pulled open the history book to the page containing the groups membership registry. "And I know exactly what to look for!"
He grinned and began to march forward towards the crowd. "By the end of the day, The Ouran Host Club will be back in action!"
