Chapter Nine
Learning More
I was so late, it was not even funny. Oh well, it's not like I really cared. I was only doing this to help Haruhi and to keep myself entertained. And now thanks to that "Princess" Ayanokoji, instead of one-hundred guests. Haruhi needed one-thousand! This was so annoying. I didn't even know how many times I had already thought that. But it was true!
Finally the third music room. I could just turn around and pretend that I forgot or had something I needed to do. Sigh, but the only reason I was doing this was to help Haruhi. Couldn't do that if I wasn't even there.
Sigh, might as well go in. I opened the door and just stopped. Was this seriously the host club? It was set up as a tropical jungle. And the hosts had outfits to match. Well I was not wearing any of those. Besides I couldn't wear one. I didn't have a male's chest. And it would show if I wore one.
"Ah Kagome, you've finally made it." I looked over to Kyoya and gave the briefest of nods.
"Yeah, sorry I am late." Not really but I had to say it. Being the polite person I was. It didn't look like he believed I was sorry. What a shame. Not. I didn't really care what he thought.
I looked around to see if I could find Haruhi. She was helping serve some of the guests. I was going to help her, but was stopped by Kyoya.
"Wait Kagome, you have some guests that have requested you." Stupid Kyoya and his stupid book, he always had to ruin everything. Without even asking where they were, because I could tell where they were, I left him standing there.
"Hello Kagome-senpai, how are you today?" One of my guests asked me. As an answer I gave a small nod. That seemed to satisfy her for her and the other guests gave off a contented sigh. Stupid, confusing females.
"Why are you not dressed up as well Kagome-senpai?" I decided hey what the heck, I'll just answer her. She'd be one of the few I would say anything to. One of my biggest mistake made as a host club.
"I didn't dress up because I got here late and I didn't want to wear anything that showed that much skin." I got this sudden urge to cover my ears. Of course I didn't. It would seem that she won the contest. Oh great now I would have to talk more. I shouldn't have said anything.
I looked around to see what the other hosts were doing. Tamaki was entertaining his guests by using his "charms." Cough cough. The twins were doing their "twincest" act. I really was going to have to intervene in that at some point. I had to make them blush, and for real, not the fake blushing they do for their guests.
In fact, that would be my new goal. Get each of the hosts to blush. Okay, Haruhi was already done, Tamaki would be easy, the twins would be the next. I was not sure about Honey-senpai, he may be too childish to actually blush. At least a blush that was not for "cute" purposes. Kyoya and Mori-senpai, would be the hardest, but they would also be the most entertaining ones to work with. Mwahahahah-ahem. Anyways back to seeing what everyone was doing.
Honey-senpai was currently climbing up Mori-senpai to place a lei around his neck. And Kyoya was standing over by the refreshment-stand writing in his book. And Haruhi was also entertaining some of her guests. It looked like she was getting a new one right now. Did she say something about being her permanent host? Poor Haruhi, actually Princess Kanako, if I heard correctly, didn't seem like such a bad guest. I should probably turn my attention back to my guests. Not like I was actually doing anything, but whatever.
So now the day was done and the host club and I were sitting around making plans for some party the host club was putting together. Well most of us were. It would seem that Tamaki was upset that Haruhi stole "his" guest, so now he was sitting by a window eating "commoner's" ramen. He truly was pathetic.
Right now they were asking Haruhi if she could dance. Why? Because apparently we had to dance at this party. I didn't even think I was even going to go. But if I didn't, I would be stuck at home with the witch, because father was going on a business trip. Fun. Boring party full of hormonal girls? Or time alone at home with my witch of a step-mother? Party or home? So difficult to decide. Hmm?
"Kagome, do you have any experience dancing," the twins asked me in unison.
"No, and I don't plan on dancing at the party anyway." It would appear I was going to the party. Not like I was actually going to stay home anyway.
"Ah, but why not?," Kaoru asked me, I realized that the twin with the green aura was Kaoru and the twin with the orange aura was Hikaru.
"It could be a lot of fun," Hikaru explained.
"Because I don't want to spend anymore time with those girls than I have to." Not completely true, but we would go with that. "Besides I am only here to help Haruhi and to keep myself from getting bored. And as you have already explained that there will be no profit for Haruhi, than it stands to reason, that I wouldn't make any profit as well. So I see no point in going."
"But as Tamaki has already explained that Haruhi must show us..." said Hikaru.
"...how far she is willing to go as a host," finished Kaoru.
"And if you are helping Haruhi, don't you think that you should be there as well." Again stupid Kyoya and his stupid logic.
"Fine, I will go." Before the twins could celebrate I added, "But, I will not under any circumstances dance." I paused before adding more, "And no you cannot make me."
Another day another guest or five. Today it looked like Haruhi was learning to dance, and Princess Kanako was teaching her. That looked like fun. Not. Tamaki was off sulking because he didn't get to dance with Haruhi. Poor unfortunate soul. Wasn't that from a movie? Hmm, oh well. It looked like they were done for now. Well time for tea.
Princess Kanako seemed to be enthralled with the teacups. I didn't see anything special about them. Well...to each his own. I was not really one to talk, after all I had a fascination with pointy objects and blades of all different shapes and sizes. But that's just me.
I looked over to the door as someone came in to deliver some new teacups. Well that was boring, so I went back to my guests, though they weren't that exciting either. What a drag.
So wait, what? Now we were plotting to get Kanako and her fiancé together? When did this happen? And weren't they already engaged? So what exactly were they doing? Whatever, I was not going to help with this plot of theirs. They could do it by themselves. Besides the party was next week and I had kendo and judo class to get to.
