I do not own Ouran.
(Third Person POV)
Susana walked into the host club along with the rest of her group.
"So guys, wanna come over today? We need to teach you guys how to use our equipment and how to act during the hunt," Susana asked.
Kyoya nodded, "Sounds reasonable. And have you given the forms to your producer?"
Susana nodded, "Of course I have."
She rolled her eyes at the fact that Kyoya didn't think she could stay on top of everything. Did he really think she would lose the papers that made sure everyone in the host club could appear on TV?
Dominique put her hand on Susana's shoulder to tell her to let it go, and the four girls sat down so they could start their homework. Susana hoped to finish everything she needed to do before she went home so she could work on some new tools. And of course train the host club but Tina can handle that. After all, she needed to get them good equipment and modify some of the things she ordered.
However after about five minutes of working on her history homework, she realized that finishing her homework quickly would not be as easy as she previously thought.
"Minnie could you explain this, I wasn't listening in class?" She admitted.
Dominique rolled her eyes and leaned over to whisper something in her ear, "If you let me copy your math homework you can copy my history homework."
Susana smiled, "Deal."
Susana not so discreetly pushed her math homework over to where Dominique could see it and Dominique did the same.
"Wait I thought you understood what was going on in math?" Susana said, furiously writing down the answers.
"I do, just don't like to do it," Dominique replied.
Tina smirked, "Cheaters never prosper."
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Susana replied, "You're just jealous you can't do this with Uta."
Utano lifted her head up quickly, "Don't drag me into this!"
Dominique glanced around at the girls watching them, "Girls quiet down! You're making people stare!"
"Hurry up and write!" Susana said, moving onto her science homework.
Dominique turned her attention back to her paper and away from the host club and it's customers.
When club finally ended and all the host club's guests could leave Susana was pretty much jumping out of her seat, wanting to get home so bad.
"Okay guys, how do you feel about recording this?" Dominique asked.
"Recording what, Minnie-chan?" Honey asked.
"Your training. Now that you guys are legally allowed on television, we can film things!" Dominique answered.
Tina added a little "yippee!" after Dominique's explanation, for dramatic effect.
"Thank you Tina," Dominique said.
Tina nodded.
"Is everyone ready? Because I spent all of last night working on something that I would really like to get back to," Susana said, trying to hide her impatience.
"I believe we are, Miss Suarez," Kyoya replied, walking over to the door.
"We can take our limo," The twins added, slinging their arms over Utano's shoulder.
She shook them off and glared, "Will you please stop doing that?"
They shrugged and walked out of the room, expecting everyone else to follow.
"Are we even going to be able to fit in their limo?" Haruhi asked as she walked out the door.
"We can hope," Tina said, following her.
Susana swung her bag onto her shoulder and joined the other four, not even bothering to add to their conversation. Utano rushed out the door once she picked up Tina's bag she had forgotten. The rest of the host club plus Dominique left not even thirty seconds after.
The limo ride to their house was quiet and awkward. The only noise was Kyoya's keyboard and the car itself. Utano was uncomfortably close to the twins and Tina was unfortunately sat in between them. Susana was forced to sit on the floor and hug Dominique's legs to stay stable. Everyone else was extremely squished and just uncomfortable.
When they arrived at the girls' house, they were ushered into Susana's room for the first part of the training.
Susana's room was a mess of wires and random sheets of metal. It looked like the inside of a robot. It was a wonder she slept at all considering there was at least fifteen different sized gears on her pillows alone. Her entire toolbox was spilled out on her bed as well, making it even more impossible to be comfortable. Not to mention the fact that she kept a fire extinguisher next to her bed. Her desk, bedside table, the top of her dresser, everything was covered in different projects. There was even a little pathway so she could conveniently move her swivel chair from project to project. Susana had yet to unpack her clothes, so there were three bags that sat on the floor. Each of them were open and had clothes spilling out of them.
"Welcome to my workshop! Mind the dismantled computer on the floor, I need that," Susana introduced.
Once again, Tina added some sound effects.
"Right now, this is where I am working on the fancy machines we will use in the show. But for now I'm just going to show you some of the stuff that already exists in the ghost hunting world! Please take a seat!" She continued.
Susana swiped her arm over her desk, sending everything on it to the floor. She glanced down at it for a second, muttering something about how "it wasn't working anyway", before walking over to a dresser. She pulled out a smaller device that looked like a calculator and a little microphone looking thing.
"This." She started, setting the two things on her now clean desk, "Is a ghost box! It is what we use to talk to paranormal entities."
"Or ghosts," Utano clarified.
"Now can anyone tell me one of the most important rules of communicating with ghosts?" Susana asked.
"Be nice?" Tamaki asked.
Susana shook her head, "Good try, but no. My number one rule is 'never ask a ghost how they died' it is a very bad thing to do!"
Tamaki nodded in understanding.
"Do you know my number two rule?" Susana asked.
Utano raised her hand, "I know!"
"I was asking the host club, but okay," Susana said.
"Try to avoid yes or no questions," Utano answered.
Susana nodded and started to pace back and forth, really getting into the role of a teacher. "Can anyone tell me why?"
No one spoke up.
"Based on my experience it helps us establish a better connection with who we are talking to. Also, this is something that allows the ghosts to speak to us directly. While we use this, we also have an EVP recorder set up as well. It will record sounds that could be caused by paranormal entities and when we review the footage we can see if there was in fact something trying to speak with us," Susana explained, getting her full speech out in one breath.
Dominique stood up, "Okay, we will be moving on to the next part of your training where we all will go to Utano's room and her wall of computers. We can show you what we have found out about the history of where Ouran Academy was built."
Susana sat down in her swivel chair, "If you don't mind I am going to stay here and work on a few fun projects. Make sure the door doesn't hit that pile of metal right there! If one wire get misplaced my entire room is up in flames."
Dominique nodded and ushered everyone out of the room.
"Was she even speaking the same language as us?" The twins asked as soon as they were out of her room.
"I heard that!" Susana yelled.
Dominique shushed them, "These walls are very thin. And yes, Ana just said everything really fast and didn't explain what she was talking about very much."
"I must say," Kyoya interrupted, "She seems to have a talent for engineering. Rather impressive in my opinion."
"Ana has been into making stuff like that for years. Her mom was an inventor too," Utano said, opening the door to her bedroom.
She let everyone step inside before closing the door.
Utano's room was more organized, but still looked like it belongs in some spy movie. There were four different computers, and six different monitors. She didn't have weird gadgets all over the floor that were possibly flammable, but instead just had a nice looking throw rug. Her bags were all unpacked and didn't take up any unnecessary floor space. The only thing her and Susana's room had in common was the fact that they both had a swivel chair. If someone looked at pictures of their rooms, they would not be able to guess that they were in the same house.
Utano sat on her bed and opened one of her laptops, "I have been researching any sort of paranormal activity in or around Ouran. I had trouble finding anything, so I moved on to the history of where Ouran was built. After a while of research, I found this."
She turned her laptop around to show a small picture of a woman. Under the picture was a little caption explaining her murder.
"Seems like nothing right?" Utano began, "Out of curiosity, I decided to look up what happened to this woman."
Utano got off of her bed and walked over to the computer nearest to the door. The host club had already sat down and were listening intently to Utano's story. Well most of them, Utano thought that Kyoya looked incredibly bored and was just writing random stuff in his notebook. And Mori always looked emotionless, so Utano wasn't sure if he was listening or not.
"So after a few minutes of research, I found a report about this woman's death. Hinata Nakayama was found murdered in the middle of the local shopping plaza," Utano read. "After two years of violent paranormal activity, the owner of the place tore the building down and sold the land."
Utano stood up and walked back to the laptop she used first, "This plot of land, and the ones that surround it were bought by a Yuzuru Suoh. Tamaki's father if I am correct."
Tamaki nodded, "He bought all that land and then built Ouran Academy. But that was years before I was born."
"So fast forward about twenty years and now we are here. This woman, Hinata Nakayama, was killed almost twenty years ago. The anniversary of her death will be next month, and my guess is she is mad," Utano finished, closing her laptop.
"So you think we are dealing with a malevolent spirit?" Tina asked.
Utano nodded, "I do indeed."
Dominique turned to the host club, "The next part of our training is fighting with Tina!"
Hey look actual stuff about ghost hunting! I had so much fun describing Susana's room, I love the way she acts when she's around something she loves. And look at Utano, research skills that rival the Ootori. Also damn this chapter is longer than what I usually write. Every chapter before this has been two and a half pages, this one is three and a half. Hope you all enjoyed!
