I yawned, half asleep as I shut the door to the library. It was everyone's free period, and I was going to go take a nap in the library, but since all of them had students that wouldn't shut up, I had to go find a different place. I wandered, well, more like staggered, down some halls until I came to a room labeled 'Music Room 3'. I yawned again, wondering if I could fall asleep by a piano and opened the door. I covered my eye as rose petals flew in my face. Yes, eye, not eyes. You heard me. Eye. As in one. I'll get to that later though.

"Welcome." I heard seven voices call out. I blinked rapidly, stunned by the site of six guys and a girl sitting and standing around and on a couch. I looked at them groggily, blinking as I caught a rose petal that fluttered down. I inspected it, seeing the rich, red color.

"What a waste of roses…" I muttered, tucking it in my book. The guy that was in the middle had blonde hair and purple eyes. They were really pretty, and he was the one that spoke first.

"My, my. It seems we have a first time guest. And a boy at that. What's your name, young man?" I blinked, wanting to fall asleep standing up right then and there, but it would be rude to not answer his question.

"My name…?" It sounded like a question. He nodded.

"Yes."

"My name is something you'll have to find out." I smiled slightly, rubbing my eye with my free hand. My eye patch was getting loose, and I mentally reminded myself to re-tie it.

"Kyoya-sempai?" Two twins looked at 'Kyoya-sempai' expectantly, as if they were waiting for something. The person they had addressed had black hair and cool grey eyes and glasses. He was holding a notebook, which he scanned through, before a look of confusion crossed over his face, and he snapped the book shut.

"I don't know who he is." He said. Everyone but a really tall guy gasped, almost dramatically.

"Kyoya! You mean you don't have any information on this young man!?" Man…? I blinked, resisting the urge to chuckle. I guess I did look kind of like a boy, with black jeans and a collared white shirt with a deep purple sweater vest. My short, platinum, tinted green, hair probably didn't help either[1].

"I'm afraid I don't." Kyoya looked at me closely, as if he were contemplating something. I blinked, before giving a tired smile and a small yawn.

"I guess I should tell you my name myself then. My name is Natsu Chikako. It's a pleasure to meet you. What are your names?"

"I'm Hikaru—"

"—and I'm Kaoru—"

"And we're the Hitachiin twins."

"My name is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, and this is my cousin, Takashi Morinozuka! But you can call me Hunny and Takashi Mori if you want!"

"My name is Haruhi Fujioka." The girl said. I wonder why on earth she was dressed as a guy. It's so obvious.

"My name is Kyoya Ootori, I am the vice president of this Host Club."

"And I am Tamaki Suoh, the king of the Host Club!" A light seemed to suddenly shine down on them as they each grinned, with the exception of Kyoya, Haruhi and Mori. I nodded, still feeling tired as I sighed.

"What is a Host Club anyways?" I asked. Hikaru and Kaoru gaped.

"You mean you've never heard of us before?" I shook my head.

"A host is when beautiful young males who have way too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way to much time on their hands." Tamaki said. He seemed nice, as did everyone, but his aura was reeking with stupidity. I nodded, running a hand through my hair.

"Oh, Chikako-kun, are you also a host?" I turned to see a couple of girl walking together, peering into the room. I flashed a smile at them before shaking my head.

"I'm afraid not, ladies." They blushed and bowed slightly, shuffling away.

… Don't give me that look. If they already think I'm a guy, why not let 'em?

That seemed to catch Tamaki's attention, as a glint appeared in his eyes. His legs were crossed, and his chin was being held in his palm as he looked me up and down. It was quite unnerving. He suddenly smiled, and pointed at me.

"Natsu Chikako, how would you like to become part of our Host Club?"

…. Wait what!?

η

I snapped out of my dazed and tired state for a full three minutes.

"A… what?" I gaped, my visible eye wide in disbelief. Was this guy for real?

"A host. It is quite clear you're popular with the ladies, and maybe flirting can make them realize how much of a gentleman you can be!" I yawned, rubbing my eye sleepily. (Kind of like how Hunny does. :D)

"What do I need to do?" I asked. Tamaki and the twins suddenly popped up in front of me, with bug puppy dog eyes.

"So cute~ Haruhi! I'm putting you in charge of teaching your brother the basics! As the Natural type, it's your job!" Haruhi gave them a deadpanned look. I blinked.

"Natural… type?"

"You see, in a host club, there are many different types of hosts, the Natural type, which is Haruhi, the Mischievous type, the twins, the Lolita type, Hunny-sempai, the Strong Silent type, Mori-sempai, the Cool type, Kyoya, and then there's the Princely type, me!" His hands was suddenly under my chin as he lifted my head up to look into his. I blinked. I think it was a trick of the light, but he had mysterious sparkles surrounding him.

"Now, what type might you be, Natsu-kun?" He pondered. I pushed his hand away and yawned again. If I didn't go to sleep soon, I would just fall asleep right here and now.

"I think he's the innocent type!" Hikaru suddenly piped up.

"Wouldn't you agree, boss?" I was now being surrounded by the Host Club as they all looked down at me. Except for Haruhi, who was about level with my height, and Hunny, who was shorter than me by at least two and a half heads.

"Fine with me… but I'm not usually this quiet…"

"What do you mean by that, Chi-chan?" Hunny asked.

"When I'm awake, and energetic, I am easily emotional, so try not to piss me off." Tamaki make a sound that was like a dying cat, waving his arms in the air.

"Mommyyyy! Our son says bad words! Punish him!" I blinked.

"Mom… my?"

"You see, for some reason unknown, boss refers to Kyoya-sempai as 'Mommy' and he's the 'Daddy' Haruhi's their beloved son, we're their devilish sons, and Mori-sempai and Hunny-sempai are the next door neighbors." Hikaru and Kaoru explained. I sighed, leaning on Haruhi's shoulder, and ignoring the protests of the twins and Tamaki, mumbled,

"Alright then, Tamaki-sempai…" I closed my visible eye and fell asleep on Haruhi's shoulder.

If only I truly knew how weird these guys were.
