Renji brushed his bangs away from his face, "Accualy, I'm not that into watching my sister try on clothes...I'm going

to just go home and plot cosplays for you to wear," he added laughing in a triumphant manner.

Alex Sweat dropped.

Kyarie was obvioiusly relieved when he scurried out the door, still laughing.

"You don't like him very much do you?" Alex asked

"Don't think I dislike my brother..."she said to Alex, "But he's such a nuisance sometimes...He's far too much like our

mother..."

"Renge Ootari," Rene added, "wife of Kyouya Ootari. She was the manager of the Host Club back when our fathers were

in school."

"Oh...Gotcha."

Alex felt his heart stop when, instead of going to an actual store, they pulled up in front of a large, fancy looking mansion.

"Uh...I thought we were going 'shopping'... Like, at a store...." He said, slightly confused. Kaori and Hikari leaned against

him, smirking devilishly

"We are shopping"

"At our personal, private clothing store..."

The door opened, revealing a woman who looked suprisingly similar to the girls. She wore Fashionista clothing, and looked

like a super model. her eyes were gold, and she broke out into a wide grin.

"Girls! About time you got here...!"

"Hi grandma!" they said simutaneously, going to her side and embracing her. She squeezed them back enthusiasticly.

"Grandma?" Alex said, fully suprised, "But...she doesn't look old enough to be a grandma..."

The woman lokoed over at him, "Oh!" She turne to he granddaughters, getting the same devilish look they did when they

were plotting something, "This is Alex, isn't it?"

"Yes, grandma..."

"Indeed it is..." Hikari said, finishing Kaori's sentence

Their Grandmother chuckled evily and took a step forward, "Hello, young man my granddaughters have told me all

about you. I'm Yuzuha Hitachiin."

Alex gulped, "Um...you know I'm a guy?"

"Of course she does," hikari said, "you don't think we'd keep such a yummy secret from our grandma, do you?"

Alex made a face.

"No...of course not..."

Rene steped forward and curtsied to Yuzuha, "hello Mrs. Hitachiin, you look lovely today."

Yuzuha smiled, "Why Rene, nice to see you, as always. And Kyarie!"

"Hello Yuzuhu-sama!" Honey said, waving to her from Mori's side. Yuzuhu grinned, "Hello, Honey-chan! and to you too,

Mori."

Mori nodded.

"Now, let's get you all out of those icky bananna dresses and into some ball gowns! I have all my latest fashions right

in the next room."

"What about the other things we asked for," the cousins whispered conspiriatoriously in her ear. Yuzuhu grinned,

"Of course, my pets, you didn't think I'd forget about that?"

Alex had a feeling he was going to be heavily exploited with the next few minutes.

000000ooooo000000

Alex's premonition proved true when he saw the male manikins wearing revealing mens clothing, sitting apart from the

the dozens, if not hundreds, of girl's ball gowns.

"Wh..what are those for?"

"For you, silly," all three of the Hitachiins said at once. the cousins moved closer to him. "Just because you look like girl,

doesn't mean you can't flaunt your manly, masculine side once in a while. We KNOW you have muscles," They added,

winking and giggling.

Alex's face turned red, "Um, thanks but-"

"No problem!" they said, interupting, turning towards the outfits, "Which one first?"

"Have fun girls..." Yuzuha said waving goodbye and exiting the room.

"Oh, this one!" Hikai said pinonting to a manikin with a mesh-like shirt and short-shorts that were more like underwear

than pants.

Alex turned to Rene for help, but she and the other girls were already trying on Dresses.

000000ooooo000000

Rene was wearing a blue gown that whent to her ankles that exposed her shoulders, and a bit of clevage, she looked over

at Kyarie, "How does this look on me?"

"Blue's a good color for you," she said, "Now, what do you think, black or purple?"

Honey was trying on a light pink dress with lots of cute frills and ribbons, "How do I look Taksuni?" she asked.

Mori nodded in approval, she herself was trying on a long, simplistic green dress.

000000ooooo000000

Obviously he was on his own...and at the mercy of Kaori and Hikari.
