Hey guys, it's me, Vy.
I wanna thank everyone who reviewed, faved, or added my last chapter. So, here's another one!
fOk, before I start with Chapter 2, here's a brief preview of what happened in Chapter 1;
Kasanoda: So I came to the Host Club to see Fujio- I mean, just for a visit.
Tamaki: And he was spending a totally inappropriate amount of time with MY daughter!
Kasanoda: Inappropriate? Suoh, what are you-!
Me: Hey, hey. Save it for the fic, guys.
Hikaru: So anyway, we came up with a plan-
Kaoru: -to get Bossanova away from Haruhi-
Hikaru and Kaoru: -Called Operation 'Find Bossanova a Girlfriend so He'll Stop Harassing Haruhi'!
Kyoya: Pretty self-explanatory, really.
Me: Ok, well, before the fic, let's DISCLAIMER! Whoo!
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1 for Disclaimer
Me: Err...yes. So with that...let's BEGIN!
Host Club: YAY!
...
Chapter 2: The Plan Begins
The Host Club (minus Haruhi) was gathered in Music Room Three for a 'Secret Emergency After-School Host Club Meeting' (named by Tamaki, of course. Kyoya's name for it was a 'Big Waste of Time').
'Okay, men, let Operation "Find Bossanova a Girlfriend so He'll Stop Harassing Haruhi" commence!' Tamaki announced 'Ideas?'
Two hands rose simultaneously. Tamaki gestured for the twins to proceed.
'Okay, Boss, here's the thing-' said Hikaru
'-The first thing we need to sort out is-' said Kaoru
'-What kind of girl we're looking for' they finished together, shrugging in unison.
Tamaki pondered this for a second, tapping his index finger on his chin.
'Okay...' he said slowly 'Then what we need to think about is what kind of girl Bossanova-kun would go for...' he whirled around and took a marker pen out of his pocket. He flicked off the lid and began writing on the whiteboard that was set up behind him. 'TYPE OF GIRL' he scrawled.
'Hmm...Well, if we're thinking about the type of girl Kasanoda would like...' Kyoya mused, pushing his glasses up his nose and writing something in his black notebook, 'That would mean we're looking for a girl like Haruhi'.
Tamaki's pen squeaked noisily against the board as he spun round to glare at Kyoya.
'Did you just say Haruhi? No way. I'm not letting her near him' He growled. Kyoya just rolled his eyes.
'Please stop getting so worked up, Tamaki' he sighed 'I said a girl like Haruhi. It's quite simple, really. We know that Kasanoda likes Haruhi, so naturally, if we're looking for the type of girl he likes, it'd be someone like her, right?'
Tamaki still didn't look happy; he had his arms crossed and a scowl on his face as he looked at the floor. 'Yeah, I guess that makes sense' he said grudgingly, turning back to the board and writing 'LIKE HARUHI' under the heading.
'Hey, there's just one problem, Boss' Said Kaoru
'Yeah, see, where are we going to find a girl as blunt-' said Hikaru
'-Tomboyish-' said Kaoru
'-Stubborn-' said Hikaru
'-Common-' said Kaoru
'-And uncaring-' said Hikaru
'-as Haruhi?' finished Kaoru
Tamaki pondered that for a second and then, in one swift movement, whirled round and crossed 'LIKE HARUHI' out with his pen.
'You're right. There isn't another girl at this school like Haruhi. She's all wrong for him anyway' he said 'What we really need is to do is find out what sort of girls Bossanova-kun appeals to'.
'But how're we gonna do that, Tama-chan?' Hunny asked, raising his hand in the air.
'The best way would be to bring him into the club, Boss' said Hikaru to Tamaki.
'Yeah, we get all kinds of girls in there' said Kaoru
'Yes! Exactly!' said Tamaki, pointing at the twins, 'That's Phase One! Get him to be around all the different types of girls and see which he best relates to! Ok, let's get to it!'
'Suoh, why am I here again?' Kasanoda asked, the frown on his face even more pronounced than usual. At first he's been perfectly happy to be dragged to Music Room Three by Tamaki; it was an excuse to see Haruhi, after all. But since he'd heard that she wasn't there today, his mood had become even more sour than usual.
He cocked an eyebrow at the Host Club King, who was sitting next to him on the poofy pink sofa, still waiting for an answer.
'I just thought it'd be nice for you to have lunch here for once, Bossanova-kun' Tamaki shrugged.
'I had lunch here yesterday, Suoh' Kasanoda said, irritated.
'Yes, but yesterday I didn't get a chance to talk to you! My dear Bossanova-kun, this is a chance to catch up as friends!' Tamaki said, smiling way too overenthusiastically.
Kasanoda sighed and slumped back into the sofa cushions; he has a feeling he wouldn't be allowed to leave for a while. They ate in silence for a little bit longer, and then Tamaki spoke again;
'Well, Bossanova-kun, since you're here, why don't I introduce you to some of the club's guests?'
'Oh no, really, it's f-'
'Nonsense!' Tamaki said, throwing an arm around Kasanoda's shoulders 'It'll be fun! Come on!' He began leading him towards an array of snack tables where a group of girls were clustered. When Kasanoda wasn't looking, Tamaki leaned back and sent a signal to the twins- Begin Phase One. Operation 'Find Bossanova a Girlfriend' was underway.
Girl Type One: The Girly-Girl Type
'Bossanova-kun, let me introduce you to Miss Miu Chinatsu' Tamaki said, gesturing to the petite platinum blonde in front of him. 'Chinatsu-san, Bossanova-kun'.
Kasanoda inspected the girl. She wasn't at all his type; her pale platinum hair fell to her waist, and she had pink ribbons in it. Her bright silver-blue eyes sparkled and her features were very childlike. She stood about a head and a half shorter than him, and all-in-all looked about twelve or thirteen rather than sixteen. She smiled brightly at him.
'Nice to meet you, Bossanova-kun!' she said in a high soprano voice, before giggling lightly. Tamaki nudged him and gestured with his head to the girl.
'Ah, um, nice to meet you...too' he forced out, trying to smile. Unfortunately, his smile turned out to be more of a terrifying grimace, and his words, thanks to his awkwardness, came out as a bit of a growl. All of which managed quite well to scare poor Miu silly.
'Eep! I, ah, I just remembered, I have to go!' she stuttered, stepping backwards, away from Kasanoda, 'I'm so sorry, Tamaki-senpai! I'll see you tomorrow!' She turned to Kasanoda 'B-Bossanova-kun...um, bye'. She then hurried off at a pace just short of running.
Tamaki turned to the twins and gave a thumbs-down sign. The girly-girl type was out.
Girl Type Two: The Shy Type
'Bossanova-kun, Saki-san. Saki-san, Bossanova-kun' Tamaki gestured between Kasanoda and the girl in front of him. She had her dark brown hair tied back in a pony-tail, big dark green eyes, and was almost as tall as Kasanoda was. And, just like him, she looked away to the floor and refused to make eye contact, blushing from head to toe.
'Well, Bossanova-kun, say hello!' Tamaki whispered. Kasanoda glanced swiftly at the girl.
'Um...hi' he muttered, looking down again. She glanced at him furtively before quickly looking down again too.
'Hi...' she murmured back.
Five minutes passed.
Tamaki cleared his throat. Saki scuffed the floor with her shoe.
Five more minutes passed
Kasanoda coughed. Saki fiddled with her sleeve.
Two more minutes passed.
Tamaki scratched his neck. Kasanoda sniffed.
Another one minute passed.
Eventually Tamaki had had enough with the awkward atmosphere and could see that this was going nowhere.
'Err, Saki-san, why don't you go...find your friends?' he said to her. The relief on her face was clear.
'Okay' she said quietly 'Bye Tamaki-san, bye, um, Bossanova-san'. She shuffled off, still looking at the floor.
Another thumbs-down was flashed to the twins; the shy type was definitely out.
Girl Type Three: The Confident Type
'Bossanova-kun, this is-' Tamaki began before he was interrupted.
'Reina Misaki, but you can call me Rei, pleasure to meet you' the girl next to him said boldly, thrusting her hand forward towards Kasanoda.
He looked at her warily as he shook her hand. She had masses of curly bright orange hair which tumbled down past her shoulders, and bright vivid green eyes. She had freckles too, sprinkled all over her face, which now wore a huge ear-to-ear grin.
'So, Bossanova-kun, is that really your real name?' she said, rather loudly, ''Cause I swear that Bossanova's a type of music or dance, like from Brazil or something, ooh, I went to Brazil once, brilliant holiday, went with my family, we went dancing every night and once we visited this really amazing place, it was kind of like this restaurant with this dancing place attached and this carnival came with those dancers with the feathery hats and big parade floats and animals and, oh it was fantastic, and then we saw this-'
'Ah, Rei-chan, why don't we let Bossanova-kun say something?' Tamaki interrupted.
'Um, no, that's ok-' Kasanoda began to say before he was cut short.
'Oh, he won't have anything interesting to say I mean just look he hasn't said two words to me since I came and I told him all about my lovely holiday with the dancers and the carnival and everything and he didn't have anything to say about it at all I mean seriously he's no fun actually this is boring so I'm gonna go find something more interesting to do then okay so bye Tamaki I'll see you in class or something see you later!' Rei said, in one breath, before turning and stalking off.
Kasanoda and Tamaki blinked, momentarily stunned.
Then Tamaki, immediately serious again, whirled round to send yet another thumbs down signal to the twins; the confident type was 100% out.
Girl Type Four: The Haruhi Type
'The what?' Tamaki looked back at his list and then marched over to the twins, leaving Kasanoda by the snack table munching on some sandwiches.
'What do you mean the Haruhi Type?' he demanded, shoving the list in their faces.
'Well, you know, short hair, blunt personality, boyish' said Kaoru
'Well then why didn't you just write the boyish type?' Tamaki said angrily.
'Well, two reasons. Firstly, Haruhi is the only boyish type we know' Hikaru said
'Well, what's the second reason?' Tamaki asked, still annoyed
'We knew it would freak you out, and we were bored' the twins said together, shrugging simultaneously.
Tamaki, completely infuriated, opened his mouth to launch a fresh round of angry verbal assaults on the twins, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to find a surly looking Kasanoda behind him.
'Look, Suoh, not that this hasn't been fun' he said, the sarcasm evident in his voice, 'But I'm gonna go. See you' he turned to leave.
'But...Bossanova-kun, didn't you enjoy our friendly bonding time?' Tamaki called.
'Not really, no' Kasanoda replied, not bothering to turn as he continued to walk away.
A look of shock crossed Tamaki's features. Soon he was sulking in his familiar spot in the corner, a cloud of gloom hanging over him.
'Okay, what now Boss?' Hikaru and Kaoru called to him.
'What do you mean? You heard him. He doesn't want to be friends with me' Tamaki muttered, still moping.
'Look, Tono, we don't mean about Bossanova-' said Hikaru
'We are talking about the plan. What's next?' said Kaoru
Tamaki didn't answer.
Kyoya got up from where he was sitting at one of the tables, and walked over to the twins.
'I'll handle it' he said to them.
'Tamaki, get up and help them with the plan' he called to the brooding boy, ' You heard them. They need their king'.
Hearing that, Tamaki straightened up immediately, turning grandly and smiling
'Well, if they need me that badly, then fear not! Your king is here!' he said proudly, swishing his hair and striding over to them.
Kyoya just smiled and rolled his eyes. He knew that Tamaki could never resist being called king; his ego was just too big.
'Okay, Boss. Bossanova didn't take to any of the girls, at all. So what next?' Said Kaoru to Tamaki
'Yeah, what's Phase Two?' Said Hikaru.
'Phase Two' Tamaki said seriously 'is to turn Kasanoda into the kind of man any girl would want. A true gentleman. Be warned, we are taking drastic action here. We have no choice'
The club looked at him expectantly.
'Be prepared, men' Tamaki said 'We need to turn Kasanoda into a host'
...
