"Yay for me," she grumbled and crossed her arms.
He watched her as the others came out. Aoi turned around and blinked several slow times. Haruhi was wearing a light pink kimono. Mori and Hunny were wearing imperial guard outfits. The twins were wearing, Aoi stopped and stared, it looked like they were wearing a mix of different things as she studied them. And Tamaki was wearing what looked like a matching kimono to Haruhi's, which made Aoi shake her head at his obviousness.
Hunny bounced over with Mori walking behind him, "How do we look Aoi-chan?"
She smirked, "Very professional."
She bent over and adjusted some of the fabrics on Hunny's shoulders then helped Mori smooth out some of the edges and correctly wrap the sash he was wearing around his stomach. Hunny smiled happily, "I'm glad you know the way these clothes are suppose to be Aoi-chan!"
"Why would she know how feudal clothes were worn?" Tamaki asked as everyone stepped closer.
"No reason," she said quickly as she covered Hunny and Mori's mouths when they tried to speak.
Hunny managed to get free and tilted his head, "Why don't you dress up? You still have 'those' clothes right?"
She got the hint and quickly called her brother, "Nii-chan, bring me that package." When she heard him stutter, she sighed, "The Host Club got me and they're doing a theme today for Feudal Japan." She heard him sigh then smirked, "And don't forget the long boxes."
She shut the phone up as he grumbled then looked around to Kyouya, "Can you wait ten minutes?"
He studied her then nodded and wrote something down, "It better be worth it or you'll find yourself regretting it."
She leveled her eyes on his and hissed, "Fucking Ice Queen aren't you?"
Everyone stopped. Tamaki and Haruhi went pale, as Kaoru had covered his brother's mouth while Hikaru did the same to keep them from laughing, while Mori and Hunny shook their heads as the gleam from Kyouya's glasses hid his eyes. But the shaking hand told them all that he was about to kill her.
Just then, the doors burst open as everyone turned to see Aoi's brother standing there with a large package and two long boxes. He noticed the atmosphere as the door shut behind him and sighed, "She opened her mouth again didn't she?" Then shook his head and grabbed Aoi's arm, "Let's get you changed since I know you can't put this on by yourself."
She nodded and was led away into the changing rooms. Everyone looked confused as Tamaki had big eyes, "What's she gonna be wearing? Is it going to be like those anime and be a samurai's wife or work at a teahouse? Or will she be dressed up like a performer with the face paint?"
Mori gave Hunny a look as the blonde burst out laughing, "It's even better than that Tama-chan. Aoi-chan's a sh-"
"Dammit Nii-chan that hurts!" Aoi yelled from the room. They looked confused as they heard her yelp again in pain.
"Well sorry!" They heard Tatsuo yell back, "If you're suppose to be a guy, then these chest bindings have to be tight! I can't help it if you have a large C chest!"
They heard a sharp gasp then a deep grunt as someone, namely Tatsuo, hit the ground, "Dumbass!" Another loud whack could be heard, "There's teenage guys in the next room you baka!" There was another low groan as they heard a couple of more whacks, "Think before you open that big mouth of yours!"
"Demon," they heard a groan, "Alright you little Oni. If you hit me with the hilt of that katana again I'm gonna… Now keep calm, you promised you wouldn't hurt me. Don't give me that crazed look Aoi!" He quickly ran out off the room and over to hide behind Mori, "I never should have brought the katanas. She really is a demon."
"Why would she need katanas?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked together until they noticed her brother freeze in his spot and turned to where he was staring as their mouths dropped open.
Aoi stood there in a light blue haori, light gray hakama, a white kimono underneath and opened loosely to show the top part of the bindings to look like bandages, tabi socks and the appropriate sandals. A white chord crisscrossed over her now flat chest and two katanas were at her left side. A hachimaki that was white with a leather peace for the forehead with the ends trailing down her back was tied around her forehead and was underneath her bangs, making them fall over her right eye.
Everyone stared until she narrowed her eyes at her brother, "What were you saying about me being an Oni, Nii-chan?" He held his breath as they watched the blue slowly seep away completely and the gold grow until they resembled demon's eyes.
Her hand was steadily going closer to her katana when Tamaki cried, "Why is my daughter dressed like that? She must wear girl clothes!"
Aoi began to form a tick in her hand and eyebrow at the thought of being called his daughter, and rested her hand on the hilt of a katana ready to use it when Hunny bounced over, "They still look good on you."
"What's she suppose…to be anyways?" the twins asked as they walked closer.
Haruhi shook her head, "Did you two not pay attention in history?" When they gave her a funny look she sighed, "That's what the Shinsengumi wore."
Their eyes grew big as Kyouya walked up, "I must say, it's quiet impressive for someone to have the full cosplay."
"Uh-oh," Tatsuo gulped as Hunny and Mori tried to block the two.
"This is not a cosplay!" she growled and quickly had the katana drawn and at his neck before he could blink. His eyes were wide in shock as Mori tried to make the girl lower her arm, "No Takashi. It's an insult to the man who trained me. He was one of the last few descendents of the original Shinsengumi that still trained when I was little and I won't stay quiet when someone dishonors him!"
"W-What?" Kyouya mentally cursed himself for stuttering.
"There were a few of us that were trained by the last of the Shinsengumi," she sighed as Mori and Hunny finally made her calm enough to put her katana up and stared at him, "They were hoping we would continue their ancestors legacy and carry on the honor that went with these clothes and the name."
Tamaki tilted his head, "But I thought that women couldn't be one."
She smirked over to the blonde and nodded, "Very good. But the elders realized that times have changed and women are just as strong as men when the time comes. Once we, the ones that were chosen and trained, exceeded their expectations, they passed down the katanas and their clothes. They wanted us to carry on the legacy and name for future generations."
Hunny beamed up at her as Mori smiled and rested his hand on her shoulder. To the others, those three looked like they were meant for Feudal Japan. Tatsuo wiped a tear from his eye and nodded to his sister, then went to leave when he slowly shut the door back, "There's a lot of young girls standing outside the doors."
Mori pointed to a side room for him, which he nodded and left. Aoi watched as he left then glanced around the room as suddenly there were several different types of areas made up. She noticed a real sakura tree and smiled, walking over to it and resting her back against the trunk with her eyes closed.
Haruhi smiled and open a few windows partially to let the warm breeze in then went over to the others as the doors opened and they greeted their guests, "Welcome."
Kyouya stepped forward, "I would like to present the newest Host to the Host Club. Sakimura Aoi," he pointed to where Aoi stood against the tree, "The Mysterious Loner Type."
