Parallel Hosts, The King and the Queen.
----
"…So you see, it really was our fault." Mira concluded while lifting a cup of tea to her lips.
"I… See. So such maidens like you do exist." Tamaki mused, chin on palm.
When Tamaki found the twins kissing the girls, he had immediately started reprimanding them, whilst whisking the 'young ladies' to the music room. This is where Mira calmly explained what had happened (Or she was trying to clear the hitachiin brothers' names), and where Mika broke off to chat with said boys.
Mira nearly choked on her drink. "Pardon?"
Realizing that he had been speaking aloud, the king himself nearly choked on recovering. "N-nothing, dear one. Nothing to worry your beautiful little head about, heh."
It didn't sound right so Mira narrowed her eyes and was about to answer, when the boy from the courtyard burst in.
"Tamaki- it's not like I care, but would you care to explain why there are female twins he-" S/he saw Mira talking to Tamaki. "Oh." S/he looked over to the hitachiin twins. "So it wasn't Hikaru and Kaoru crossplaying."
"Tamaki, who's this?" Mira pointed warily towards the boy(girl).
"This is Haruhi, our newest member." Tamaki answered, "Haruhi, would you be so kind as to get us more tea?" He handed him(her) the kettle.
Funny, thought Mira, Noriko never mentioned anything about a girl being in the club.
"Haruhi Fujioka, I presume." Speak of the devil. There stood Noriko, just arriving on the scene. Although she wasn't alone because there stood Takako, complete with giddy smile. Both were eleventh years.
"So this is the boy who isn't a boy! So cute." Takako gleamed. "You're just so darling in those clothes." She was looking at the male uniform Haruhi was wearing. "I guess I could fall in love." She giggled.
"Daddy does not approve!" Tamako immediately raged, standing up protectively in front of Haruhi. "You're both girls!"
"Oh, right." Takako pouted. The tall blonde moved to the corner of the room to brood.
"Sir," Noriko adjusted her glasses, and pushed a strand of dark brown hair out of her face. "Isn't it equally bad to fall in love with someone who works with or for you?" Of course she knew virtually everything about the host club, so she knew how Tamaki felt about Haruhi, too.
"I-" Tamaki spluttered. He blushed and went to join Takako in the corner.
Haruhi didn't get what they were talking about, of course, and blandly made it known with a,"Huh?"
"Girl," Noriko ignored her question. "Tell me where I can find Kyouya, please."
"Right here." Came a voice from the side, as a door shut. "You must be the new transfer students," He glanced around at the four girls, not counting Haruhi. "Most of them, anyway."
"Yes." She nodded. "We are a different club of female hosts, new transfers, and need to get a summary of our situation. We aren't used to there already being a host club at the schools we attend. Would you allow us to observe your activities for an allotted amount of time?"
So many words… Mira thought. She never liked being around Noriko, her speeches made Mira's head hurt. Which is why she got all her information from her sister, who was now staying far away with the twins.
"That should be fine." Kyouya, obviously not daunted by Noriko's big words, decided. "You may start when the remaining – two – members of your group arrive. Where are they?"
Takako's ears perked up and she, amazingly, recovered fast from depression. "Hana is still asleep, nobody wakes her up before 9 in the morning…" She shuddered. "And Minori is watching her. They're both twelfth years, but Hana never acts that way. Doesn't look it either." Her lips curved into a sweet motherly smile.
"I see." Kyouya wrote something down on his portable laptop.
"And you," Noriko spoke up. "Where are your last two members?"
Man, she doesn't miss a thing. Mika was watching from her seat, having not moved. This is when Tamaki came back down to earth to notice what was going on, and recovered himself to join the others.
"Hani is asleep, just like your friend. And Mori is super protective of him, so they're together." Explained Tamaki.
"Alright" Noriko accepted, annoyed that it wasn't Kyouya that had answered.

So you know that Noriko is Kyouya(sp?), Mika is Hikaru, Mira is Kaoru, Takako is Tamaki, Minori is Mori, and Hana is Hani by now, right? It is SO hard to write a story with so many main characters! But give me credit for trying, okay? And please ignore my mistakes- I'm only doing this one for fun, after all. R&R.
