Otakus Can't Love

Chapter Three: Sharada

Once upon a time there was a girl

You wouldn't really call her typical

Had her own definition of cool

She lived in her own world

Renge Houshakuji sat in her room, a video game controller in her hands. Her many plushies and Miyabi accessories were scattered along her room. She was currently playing a new dating sim game that she had her father buy her. The room was dark, only the glow of the television on her face. She pressed in buttons, playing the game as she didn't pay attention to the maid calling her name. She wore a pink skirt that was short, along with socks that came up to almost her knees in a bright green that matched the shirt she wore.

"Renge, Miss Renge." The maid called, twice. She held a telephone in her hand. Instead the maid spoke into the telephone. "I'm sorry Mister Ootori, you'll have to dial her cell phone. She simply won't snap out of her game."

She had her own style, her own rules

She played along like it was usual

Nobody really even knew her name

To her life was one big game

The cell phone sitting next to Renge started to ring and she paused the game. She answered the phone. "Na no da!" She said, quoting yet another anime character. "Oh hi there!" She said cheerfully. "Oh, sure, I can do that. He just better be ready to give his all to it this time." Renge said with a sudden fiercefullness. Then without even saying bye, she hung up the phone and set it back down, going back to her video game.

She's got her head up in the clouds

Sharada Sharada

Renge kept playing the game, imagining herself with the wonderful main character. If only it were that easy to get the perfect guy. If it were as easy as the game, then she would've had a million boyfriends by now...instead of failing to have even one.

Don't know if she'll come down

Sharada Sharada

She kept playing until late in the night when she finally had to turn it off to get to sleep for school. She laid back on her bed. "What would it be like to have your arms around me?" She asked a picture of Miyabi that was next to her bed.

She can't get to bed

Sharada Sharada

She's got that song stuck in her head

Renge changed into a nightgown and brushed her hair, pulling it up in a hair-style similar to an anime character. Her nightgown looked similar to the ones Risa Harada from D. wore. Her hair styled in a similar fashion. She crawled into bed, but soon she was tossing and turning, not able to get to sleep, thinking her thoughts about the characters of the game.

Dreaming all day, that's all she did

Ever since she was a little kid

All the teachers thought that she was slow

Renge sat in her class, looking out the window, thoughts of Miyabi filling her head. If he were there right then, he would be sitting next to her, passing her love notes. Then he'd offer to help her with her books on the way to the next class.

A book suddenly slammed onto Renge's desk. "Miss Renge, did you hear a word I said?" Her teacher asked. Renge looked up with a surprised look. None of the teachers had ever called her out on her daydreaming.

"No, m'am..." Renge answered.

"I thought so." The teacher said with contempt before going back to teaching.

She was just dreaming bout her show

And when they told her she's delerious

She didn't care, she's just oblivious

Renge spaced out again, ignoring the teacher's words. It didn't matter anyways. She got decent grades anyways. And even if she didn't, her father would pay to keep her in Ouran Academy as long as she wanted.

She likes to make everyone curious

One day she's gonna be famous

Soon after school ended for the day, Renge popped up on a platform into the middle of Science Room #3. "Oh hohohoho. So you need my specialities, Dark Prince?" Renge said in a high-pitched pleased voice as all the host club jumped at her sudden appearance. Renge jumped off the platform and landed in front of them.

"All Host Club members, please leave the room. You're interrupting my training." Renge said, suddenly serious.

The Host Club slowly backed away, not wanting to face her wrath. "Good luck, Nekozawa." The twins and Tamaki called before the door closed.

"Time to start." Renge said with a grin.

A/N: I heard this song, and thought it just described Renge. Not sure the chapter's that good though. I have a few more ideas up now. Since chapters are so short, I'm pretty sure I'll have this fic finished fast. Hopefully. If I don't procrastinate.

I need a beta reader though. And so it takes me a bit to read over the chapters myself, and my spell check on writer is broken, so I'm doing this on my own. Sorry if there are grammar or spelling mistakes.

The song is Sharada by Skye Sweetnam.
