Most of the girls who walked into imusic room three were poised and graceful. Laughing politely whenever the hosts did something comical, and shedding a brief tear or two when a host murmured softly about something sad.
Yes, most of the girls were perfect in every way. Like a collection of China dolls on a shelf, every intricate detail exactly how it should be.
Kyoko Ito was definitely not one of those China dolls. She was more like a child's favourite Barbie doll, thrown carelessly onto the floor after a day of use. Hair matted, and clothes ripped up the seam. However, unlike the China dolls, she was loved. She didn't sit on the shelf, no, she was up on the front lines.
Except at this particular moment she was hastily trying to rid her school uniform of tea stains while members of the host club bowed repeatedly in apology as she grumbled to herself about how idiotic they all were.
"Haruhi, that will be added to your debt." Muttered the male second year to the male(?) First year student who was picking up the pieces of the broken tea set.
Haruhi looked up, rolling her eyes, she knew that he was going to do that. After all, she was the on carrying the tea set although it wasn't technically her fault.
After Kyoko had entered the music room, she was apparently "Attacked" by "The blonde one" who claimed that she was his "Princess". Of course Kyoko backed away, not into a vase, but into Haruhi, and a tray full of tea.
"Ugh, I'll pay for it. It was my fault after all. " Kyoko admitted, causing Haruhi to give a weak smile. Kyoya simply pushed his glasses up his nose, and grunted in response. "If it wasn't for idiotic blonde hair and blue eyes then I wouldn't have fallen into him."
"Idiotic blonde hair and blue eyes" was about to interrupt and explain that his eyes were actually "Violet", not blue and, and that it was a common mistake, but Kyoya cut him off. " Well, in that case, Miss Ito, would you like a session with one of our hosts?"
Kyoko looked as if he'd asked her if she wanted to eat raw snails while bathing in dead ants. (Don't ask.)
"Are you crazy?" She exclaimed, standing up and reminding many of the hosts of a tea-stained marshmallow in the school uniform.
"All of you seem exactly the same as Blondie here," she said gesturing to Tamaki.
"I really don't get why girls like you people. Geez. It's creepy." She shuddered slightly, to demonstrate her point.
"Well, Miss I-" Kyoya began.
"Kyoko. It's Kyoko." She interrupted.
"Miss Ito." Continued Kyoya ignoring her completely.
"Is there anything else that the host club can do to repay you?" Kyoya usually wasn't this polite to guests, but the Ito family provided a lot of crops and other food products for the host club, Ouran academy, and even many Ootori hospitals. He wasn't about to get on her bad side, and risk angering his father.
Kyoko shook her head. "No way. Besides, you've already repaid me in full. You've given me a great idea!" She exclaimed, cheerfully, earning Kyoya, and the other host's curiosity. "And what sort of idea is that?" Inquired Kaoru, leaning in as his twin brother nodded.
"Guess who's looking at the new president of the Lobelia-Ouran host club!"
(Woooo timeskip)
Kyoko told herself that she honestly shouldn't be this excited, but she couldn't help it. She was like a little kid, waiting eagerly for a new toy, or her dog, waiting at the front door.
It had taken Kyoko a good hour or so to get home, even though the roads were quiet. And she wasn't being driven home in a limousine or anything - her brother had recently gotten his licence, so she was driven home in his grey van.
She usually rung her brother as soon as school ended, for him to begin the long journey to pick her up. She then went to the library to do some reading or whatever. However, today, she decided to go to the Ouran host club. Pretty stupid mistake. Or not.
When she finally got back to her home, she ran up to her room, and grabbed her laptop, eager to find new members for her host club. Her dog jumped up on her bed next to her, and she patted it affectionately. She had a few people in mind for the club, and she planned to hunt them down on Monday. It was Friday night, and the weekend. And she was planning to sleep.
(Aaaah more time skips)
After getting to school about ten minutes before the bell, Kyoko once again read over her post-it note which contained the names of those she wished to recruit. There was five names on the note, four girls, and one boy. Two second years, two third years, and one first year.
After thoroughly researching all of them, (She stalked their Facebook profile and made fake accounts to talk to them.) She had also made a mental list of where all of them might be.
The first person on the list, Ruby Klein, was a first year. Kyoko expected to find her in one of the English classrooms, most likely doing homework or studying. She'd never spoken to Ruby herself, but had often heard hushed conversations about her from teachers. Maybe she was super-smart or something?
The second person that she planned to track down was Miyuki Yoshida, who was a second year, like Kyoko. She'd barely gained any information on Miyuki, as her Facebook profile was non active. However, Miyuki was in Kyoko's science class, so she'd hopefully be able to talk to her then. She has spoken to Miyuki once before, when they were chosen to be lab partners. Miyuki insisted on doing the work herself, and Kyoko didn't exactly deny her.
The next person on her list was Ayaka Hayashi. She'd definitely heard that name before, as Ayaka was practically famous in Lobelia for pranking. Although she hadn't been on the receiving end of any of the pranks, Kyoko still tended to keep her distance. Ayaka was a second year as well, but as far as she knew, the two did not share any classes. She decided to either see her when she saw her, or wait outside the headmaster's office, for her to emerge after a lecture against her pranking.
The fourth person on the post-it note was Yumi Himura, a third year student, Yumi had originally come from Lobelia, but transfered to Ouran after Lobelia closed down. After reading her profile on Facebook, Kyoko found out that she was a social butterfly, with well over 100 friends on Facebook. Her account was definitely active, and over the weekend it had been updated about 50 times. Conveniently, one of these updates was about her new hobby, netball, so Kyoko would definitely be making an appearance at the courts to talk to her.
The final person on her list was Rishou Hokkaido, another third year student. She hadn't managed to discover much about him on his Facebook profile, apart from the fact that he had an active Tumblr. After sending a few anonymous asks on there, she fought out two possibilities of where he might be. The first possibility is that he would be in the library, presumably studying, and the second is that he would be in one of the maths classrooms, most likely studying again. Kyoko hoped it was the first one, because she really didn't want to be confronted by her maths teacher for not handing in homework.
Needless to say, Kyoko was ready to chase down the five people she had as candidates for hosts,
This "Adventure" was just beginning.
AN: Hello there! Thank you for reading this chapter, "Tea stained marshmallows". If you liked this chapter, then please review, favourite, or follow! It'd definitely help me a lot. Next chapter, we'll be meeting the LO hosts, and then the chapters after that will focus on each host individually, or as a group! Look forward to drama, humour, and friendship between both groups.
If you leave a review, please write which character you are most looking forward to hearing about! It'd help me a lot. :D
