Recap:

"But you guys look stunning, like sons of royalties" Emiko exclaimed while looking at each host club boys.

Everyone laughed. Tamaki moved towards the door and opened it.

"Shall we?"

"We shall!" everyone shouted and exited the room.

CHAPTER 11

They exited their room and went towards the lobby to leave the key.

As they were walking towards the lobby, everyone stared at them, some girls giggled and some were awestruck at how they look.

Most of the guests inside the lobby were admiring Emiko, she look very attractive. Her long hair swaying from side to side as she was walks.

Everyone keeps staring at them. Of course, the guys were very handsome but Emiko can't help but feel like someone is staring very intently at her.

She turned her head to one corner to found out that a group of boys sitting on the big couch were staring and whistling at her. Kaoru noticed, he moved beside Emiko and glared at them.

"K-Kaoru-san? Is there something on my face? " Emiko asked the auburn-haired boy beside her.

"No, there's nothing wrong. In fact, you look stunning" he replied while smiling.

Emiko blushed. Kaoru noticed the black-haired teen blushing and blushed too.

'K-Kawaii…' he thought.

A cough was then heard from behind. Both of them looked at the back and noticed the other host club members grinning at them.

"I didn't know Kaoru was capable of being in another character other than the devil-type." Haruhi said.

"I smell something scented. Could that be love?" Tamaki smirked.

"Ehh?" Emiko blushed even deeper.

"Wha-What? No!" Kaoru smacked Tamaki's head leaving him crying.

"How could you? How could you Kaoru? How could you hit me? Me! Your king! Haruhi! Comfort Outo-san…" Tamaki cried.

"No, sempai. It's your fault anyways." Haruhi said bluntly.

"Haruhi!" The blonde-haired teen cried even more.

"I think we should go now." Kyouya broke the drama. He glared at Tamaki for causing so much noise then adjusted his glasses.

The host club members nodded then continued their walk.

It was not too long when they arrived at the said karaoke place. But what surprised them was how big it was.

'This doesn't look like a regular karaoke place… Too much lights…' Haruhi thought as she observed the place.

"Oh! There you are!" Rea waved while walking towards them. She was wearing a top with the first and the second button open, clearly showing off her cleavage. She was also wearing skinny jeans and a pair of red high heeled shoes.

"Emiko" the red-haired teen eyed her.

"Rea" Emiko said in return.

"Good evening folks!" a loud voice broke off the tension between the two girls. Everyone turned their direction to the tall mustached man on the stage.

"Tonight, were going to have an open karaoke contest! Yes, you heard it, an 'OPEN KARAOKE CONTEST'! Anyone can participate and the winner of this contest will have free tickets to an all-you-can-eat buffet. But, this is not just an ordinary all-you-can-eat buffet because this buffet includes meals and delicacies from different countries! Imagine! Not just Japanese meals but also Thai, Filipino, Italian and many more!" the speaker announced.

'Italian…Yum…' Emiko was about to drool from thinking Italian foods when the audience clapped their hands loudly breaking her off from her trance. She is fond of Italian cuisine especially spaghetti and pizza.

"Are you ready to get beaten Emiko?"

Emiko turned her to the red-haired teen smirking near her.

"You like Italian meals, right? You always go on and off dreaming of having Food trips."

"Whatever." Emiko crossed her arms in front of her chest while puffing her cheeks.

"By the way, I already signed you up for the contest, you'll be singing after me of course." Rea smirked.

The crowd already went to their sits. One by one the announcer called the names of the contestants to sing.

"Okay, that was splendid!" the announcer complemented the contestant. "Next is Wakahisa Rea!"

"Oh, it's my turn." Rea smirked at Emiko who was standing beside her.

Rea walked towards the stage. She climbed the stairs, receiving claps and whistles from the audience.

She turned to face the audience and smiled. She then gazed at Emiko. The music started playing and Rea tapped her foot to the beat.

Sore na no ni anata ga suki~

After she finished singing, she winked at the audience and smiled. Everyone clapped loudly. Emiko was also clapping her hands. She performed very well. Rea climbed down the stairs walked back to where she was standing.

"That was amazing." Emiko complemented her.

"Of course I am! Now, eat my dust Emiko" Rea glared at Emiko then smirked. The black-haired teen shivered.

"That was an excellent performance! Superb! I bet the audience loved it as much as I do. Last but not the least, Hirohata Emiko" the announcer clapped his hands along with the audience.

Emiko gulped. It was her turn and to be honest, she was scared. She was about to retreat when a pair of hands gently pushed her back, surprising the black-haired teen.

"Don't worry, you'll do great Emiko" Haruhi smiled.

"That's right Emi-chan!" Hunny also smiled and squeezed her slightly shaking hands.

"Thanks guys" Emiko said nervously.

Kaoru moved closer and leaned a little towards Emiko's ears.

"Remember, if you get stage fright, just look at me and remember that time when you sang inside the changing room with me pretending to cover my ears." Kaoru whispered.

Emiko blushed at the memory. Kaoru moved away then smiled.

The host club wished her good luck before moving towards the stage. She climbed the stage and made her way to the center. She looked at her audience, closed her eyes and the music starts playing.

Made a wrong turn, Once or twice
Dug my way out, Blood and fire
Bad decisions, That's alright
Welcome to my silly life

She opened her eyes and began to walk around the stage, nodding her head to the beat.

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss "no way, it's all good", It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, Always second guessing
Under estimated, Look, I'm still around

Chorus:
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than, less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You are perfect to me.

You're so mean,
When you talk, About yourself, You are wrong.
Change the voices, In your head
Make them like you Instead.

So complicated,
Look happy, You'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game.
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.

-Repeat Chorus-

The whole world stares so I swallow the fear,
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer.
So cool in line and we try, try, try,
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
We change ourselves and we do it all the time

Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?

Yeah~, Ohh~ pretty pretty please, Ohh~

Everyone cheered and clapped their hands. Everyone was amazed including the host club and Rea.-Repeat Chorus-

You're perfect, You're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like your less than, less than perfect.
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like your nothing
You are perfect to me.

The music ended as well as Emiko. She bowed and smiled at her audience who was cheering and clapping their hands. Everyone began shouting her name.

"Emiko!...Emiko!..." everyone shouted.

"It looks like we got ourselves a winner! Congratulations Miss Emiko!" the announcer congratulated her and gave her the all-you-can-eat buffet tickets. Emiko smiled proudly at herself then ran down the stage and hugged her friends.

"That was astonishing!" Tamaki smiled at her.

"Awesome!"

"You were cool!"

"Thank you so much!" Emiko smiled at her friends.

"To be honest, your performance was indeed amazing."

Everyone turned their heads to Rea who was walking with her group towards them.

"Thanks Rea. You were amazing too. And beautiful"

Rea blushed at the complement then turned her head away.

"Hmph! But I'm still better than you!" she huffed.

"I know" Emiko smiled.

"Emi-chan! Let's go to the all-you-can-eat buffet! Now!" Hunny tugged on her arm.

"Ok, ok Hunny sempai!" Emiko sweatdropped.

"So, uhmmm… We have to go now, bye!" Emiko waved at Rea then exited with the other host club members.

Rea chuckled as she watched Emiko walking away.

'You still never change, I hope to see you again, Emiko-chan.' Rea thought and smiled.
