Chapter 3 – A New Manager and An Almost Kiss
A couple weeks passed without incidence and then the bubble was burst by the appearance of Kyoya-Senpai's supposed fiancé. Renge showed up unexpectedly to the host club. She had just moved from France and declared herself the manager of the host club. She also said that she was Kyoya's fiancée and that they were in love with each other. She was not sure why, but Haruhi was seriously bothered by these declarations. She tried not to show it, but the feelings could not be completely hidden. The only good thing about that is the fact that everyone was acting the same as her. Even his supposed best friend, Tamaki, had no clue about this relationship. After about 15 minutes, it did come out that Kyoya had never met the woman before and that they were not engaged. For the life of her, Haruhi could not figure out why he couldn't say that in the beginning when the allegations were first made. Was that too much to ask of someone? Even Tamaki looked like he was suffering until the correct information was supplied. Damn Shadow King!
Once Renge barged her way into the host club, she decided that she would be the new manager of the host club and that everything had to change. No one was immune to her changes except Kyoya, because according to her, he was perfect. If she only knew the real Kyoya, the woman was completely delusional to Haruhi's way of thinking, and that wasn't because she had feelings for him. Somehow all of the personalities of the people in the host club were not good enough and according to Renge needed to be changed. Tamaki became the lonely prince, the twins became basketball stars (which the wrong one was apparently cast as the pitcher – she still wasn't sure what that meant), Hunni-Senpai became the baby face thug, Mori-Senpai became Hunni's lackey, and Haruhi became the nerd that was bullied. Some of these were so off the mark from the personalities they portrayed in the club that it was laughable.
The next thing all of the members knew, they were making a movie with a Hollywood director about their new characters. It was not going as well as Renge would have liked. Hunni-Senpai broke character as he was bullying Haruhi and ran to her apologizing. Haruhi pulled him into her embrace and told him that it would be ok. He didn't like acting like a bully and he didn't want to do it any longer. The only one that truly seemed to like their new character was Tamaki, but he was always one for drama and going over the top, and for that reason, Kyoya wasn't stopping anything that Renge was doing.
Haruhi was sitting down and talking to Tamaki and telling him that he shouldn't change because someone else asked him to when she was called by Renge to come around the corner. There Renge had two boys from class 2D. They looked like thugs and like they could definitely cause some trouble. Renge started talking about how they would play the thugs in the movie and their characters were part of the Japanese mafia. This caused the boys to become upset and they shoved Renge. The only thing that saved her from crashing was Haruhi jumping in the way. Tamaki came running when he heard the ruckus.
"Haruhi! Haruhi, are you alright?" He saw her on the ground with tears in her eyes. He immediately tried to get revenge and attack the boys for doing this to his precious daughter. They tried to tell Tamaki that it wasn't them that it was Renge's fault, but Tamaki wasn't listening until he heard… "Their right Senpai, it was Renge's fault." Tamaki immediately let the boys go and ran to Haruhi's side. He was concerned and worried.
"Are you ok Haruhi? Daughter, please tell daddy that you are alright." Tamaki sounded a bit anxiously looking at the tears in her eyes.
"Yah, I am fine. It's just that my contact fell out." She said smiling.
"Well, now you are a real host because you can cry without eye drops." He laughed relieved, thankful that she wasn't hurt too much and that the tears were from her contacts. He suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kiss her and he was leaning in to do just that when…
"Cut! Please tell me you got all of that. It was a fabulous scene except for when the contacts came out." Renge yelled at the film crew. They assured her that they had.
Just then, Kyoya picked up a rock and broke the camera. "I'm sorry, but I cannot allow a host club member to be shown in a violent situation such as you have just witnessed. I will have to ask you to stop all of this Renge and to back off." He was frustrated that he was having to clean up a mess that got so far out of hand due to her over the top fan girl ways, and because he saw what Tamaki was about to do and she broke the moment that he might have kissed Haruhi.
Renge was upset. She didn't understand why "her" Kyoya was acting like that. He was supposed to be kind and love her. He wasn't ever supposed to speak a harsh word at her at all, but that was not the real Kyoya as Tamaki so eloquently pointed out.
"You shouldn't judge someone based on their looks. You need to get to know a person and get to know what is on the inside because that is what truly matters." Haruhi said sitting on the ground so that she could be level with Renge who had slumped to the floor when Kyoya made his speech. Renge decided that Haruhi was talking directly to her, which she was, but Renge took that as a confession of love from Haruhi. The host club just got more annoying for her because Renge was staying on as the manager.
