Attention! 2

Chapter 26: New Host Arrives

I frowned at Haruhi. Everyone knows that I love her to death until she does stuff like this. Izanami and Benten were making coffee and instant coffee. Renge was talking to Kisa about coffee versus instant coffee, which they both hate.

"So let me get this straight, you want to plan a host and hostess dinner party where everyone needs a date from the opposite club?" I asked.

"Yes. It's the best way for Benten to tell Kaoru about her crush on him."

"Count Haruhi. I may not be able to do math, but I can count."

"What do you mean?"

"There are three more hostesses than hosts. If Benten gets that date with Kaoru, there will still be Izanami, Kisa, and Ivy that don't have dates." We both fell silent. "Oh crap! Where's Ivy?" I shouted.

"She's learning where everything is with Mahalyn," Renge answered.

"Oh good. I was worried for a minute. Anyways, Haruhi, count before you make a plan like this."

"I was only proposing it. We won't do it."

"We can't do it." I folded my arms. I was wearing the boy's school uniform for better movement.

"And this is our club room," shouted Tamaki happily. Mahalyn practically teleported from wherever she was with Ivy to Tamaki.

"Tamaki-sempai, there you are! You're late compared to usual."

"I know my dear. I had to convince our new recruit to become a host."

"You guys have new host. That's cool," Kisa said simply.

"Awww! She's talking in front of others that she's never met! I'm so proud!" I rushed forward and gave her a small hug before going to find Ivy. "Ivy, where'd you go?" I called out while heading towards the sweets.

"Thank you Alfred," I heard her say quietly. I opened the door and saw her just looking at the sweets alone.

"Hey Ivy, there you are. Sorry about Mahalyn just leaving you. She heard Tamaki so she just had to leave. Come on out and we can decide on cosplay. We got new cosplay so you and Kisa could join us. Oddly enough, Izanami had the same size as Michi. Anyways, come on. You should meet the new host before he starts. The hosts don't get a training period. Come on. You should be in cosplay if we are."

"Ok." She followed me out of the room.

"Mitsu, are you alright?" I heard Izanami ask.

"I'm fine. There are just so many of you and you're all so excited just to meet me. It's a little overwhelming."

"Girls," I called. All of them turned around and rushed over. "Should we wear cosplay today?"

"Yes," Renge shouted.

"Any opinion other than Renge's?"

"Let's try it out," Kisa said.

"Any other opinions?" There was silence from the girls. "We're wearing cosplay. Come choose, all of you." I led the way to the cosplay room. "Any ideas?"

"We should use this! I know it looks like a middle school uniform from that school you and Haruhi went to together, but it seems like fun," Renge told us happily.

"How do you know what the school uniform looks like?"

"Kyoya-sempai showed me pictures."

"Son of a-! Choose the cosplay. I'll be back." I stormed out of the room. "Kyoya!"

"What is it Kyon?"

"Why did you show Renge middle school pictures?"

"She asked what you looked like with long hair so I showed her."

"Since when would that matter to you?"

"I'm helping the people I'm around all the time. You should be happy and proud."

"Cute. Just don't randomly show those pictures to everyone."

"Why not?"

"I have to keep my position and Renge can get a little crazy. We know this. Show that you haven't forgotten since yesterday's stunt."

"I see your point."

"Hi, I'm Mitsu. I don't believe we've met."

"Hey Mitsu. I'm Kyon. I am the president of the hostess club. It's nice to meet you. If you'll excuse me, I need to go check on my girls."

"Kyon, don't be upset with me," Kyoya said in a silky voice.

"Why shouldn't I?" He gave me a gentle kiss.

"Because you don't get kisses when you're upset with me."

"You're forgiven this time. Never do it again." I went back to the girls and saw them dressed in the uniform Renge suggested. "Renge, how did you get everyone to agree with you?"

"After I got Kisa's support, everyone just agreed."

"How did you get Kisa's support?"

"I begged her and started talking about what anime it reminded me of. Plus Haruhi agreed before that."

"Right. I guess I'll get changed while you girls head back out there. I'll be out in a minute. Have fun."

The girls filed out of the room and I changed in peace, except for the time I could have sworn I heard a sound near the door. I just guessed that Mitsu was going to go inside and everyone had a fit. My suspicions were confirmed when I stepped out and saw him getting scolded by a frantic Tamaki about seeing one of his "darling little girls" while she changed. Tamaki was freaking out, causing Mitsu to become very confused and nervous.

"Father, be nice to the poor guy."

"Kyon, you're back! You called me "Father" again! I'm so proud of my little girl! She's so sweet!" He lifted me up and spun me in circles.

"This club is weird! Why did I join?"

"Father, put me down. You're freaking out your new member."

"He deserves a lot more than that after he tried to walk in on you changing," Kyoya said darkly.

"Oh calm down. Don't go Shadow King on me. I need you to be the wonderful Kyoya I know you to be. Father, please put me down!"

"Sorry Kyon. I was just happy to see you looking so cute." He pouted and went to talk to Mahalyn.

"He found an alternative to his corner," I pointed out.

"Girlfriends have that effect on people."

"Nice to know Kyoya. So are you calm now?"

"Yes. I'm much calmer now that Tamaki isn't hogging you."

"What did you do?"

"Why do you automatically assume that I did something?"

"You never act like this. You're trying to melt me and make me as fluid to your whim as water. What did you do?" I demanded.

"I may have accidentally given your father the idea that he should hold a big engagement party since he's getting married soon."

"He recently got engaged."

"That's why it's an engagement party." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What else?"

"My father is coming. Jason's family is a large business partner of mine so he is coming with his brother and father. His mother is a guest of honor with my father. My father is your father's best man in the wedding." I sighed in frustration.

"Anything else?" I ground out.

"They are still searching for Fujitanna since she broke out of prison."

"She broke out of prison?" I screeched.

"Did I forget to tell you?"

"Kyoya!"

"Right. Now is not the time to be saying this. I'll just go back."

"Oh no you won't. You neglected to mention that the woman who had people try to murder me on multiple occasions broke out of prison and went on the run with no one being able to find her. I am VERY upset with you right now! When did she break out?"

"It was the day before Kisa joined the club. I found out only moments before Kisa joined us here and then when you came, you were already in a bad mood so I decided not to further it."

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I growled.

"You owe money!"

"Shut up Kyo! This is serious!"

"Right. Sorry. I'll pay for you."

"Anyways, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"I wanted you to stay as happy as possible. Plus I had hoped they would have found her within a week. By that time, I decided it would be best left unsaid until now."

"Why now?"

"The engagement party your father is holding is actually big news. Look." He pulled out a newspaper.

"Why is it that all of my family affairs get put in the paper?"

"Read it." I took the paper and read.

"My mom was heiress to a company. She gave it to her sister. Her sister was driving it into the ground and she just barely now took it back?"

"Her sister's work got sloppy a month and a half ago. By that time, your mother found it best to take the company if it ever started to go down. Since she took it two weeks ago, profits have tripled from the time when her sister was at her best in running it and everything is steady again."

"Oh no."

"What?"

"She's going from one set of full time jobs to another that takes up even more time."

"Your mother can handle it."

"We'll never see her again!" I shook Kyoya violently.

"Calm down."

"What was the point of this conversation?"

"I forgot since we got so far off track."

"Right. Well, I'll see you at my father's party. Be my escort?"

"Of course." He took my hand and kissed it gently before walking off with a smile.

"I really don't know what we had been talking about before."

"Believe me. You don't want to remember," Haruhi told me with her hand on my shoulder.

"What guests am I going to hate at the party?"

"You seriously forgot with how off track you got?" I nodded. "Kyoya-sempai's dad and Jason's mom."

"Son of a-! Never mind. I will ignore them. I will just ignore them."

"Good choice. That's how you should handle all of your life problems."

"This is coming from honor student hook-up lines express?"

"Hey. I tried to handle your sadness with a boy. You're trying to handle hatred with ignoring them. You are an adult."

"Haruhi!"

"I'm serious."

"So am I!" We stared at each other.

"Woah! Ladies! Calm down! Relax! Kyon, breathe with me," Kyo said as he jumped between Haruhi and me.

"She started it."

"I know. Chill."

"Fine. I'll chill. I am chill."

"What have I created?" I punched his arm. "Ow!"

"Deserved it."

"You shouldn't fight like that," Ivy said softly.

"This is nothing. Wait until we get serious. I beat him down."

"I'll bet you two jolly ranchers and a lollipop that I'll win."

"Stop betting candy! If you wanna bet, we bet with favors. No questions asked."

"Deal with five?"

"Deal with five."

"Good. You're on after school."

"You're going down. What should I use as my first favor?"

"This is not funny Kyon. I will beat you this time."

"You haven't before. What makes you think you will now?"

"Let's just settle this right her and now!"

"You're on Kyo!"

"Kyo, Kyon, the customers will arrive soon," Tamaki said.

"There's no problem," Hikaru said.

"They'll be done," Kaoru said after. "Kyon will win and Kyo will be on the ground."

"Kyo could win," Hikaru stated defensively.

"Let's just settle this! Kyo looks a little restless and I am too right now!"

"Alright. I watched martial arts things," Kaoru said.

"I watched them with him. Bow and fight."

"Ok." We bowed and fell into stances.

"Begin," called Izanami. Kyo and I rushed forward. I took his arm and threw him into the ground. I put my knee on his chest and my forearm against his throat.

"I win!"

"You really missed not having that cast huh?"

"Oh yeah. I got it off the day before yesterday and I haven't been able to train since. I feel like I'm going to go crazy. I need to train!"

"Chill."

"Right. Deep, calming breaths. I'll train when we get home tonight. Nice and calm."

"Good girl. I'm going over to my side."

"Have fun Kyo. You owe me five favors!"

"I know!"

"I made a mistake in joining this club," Mitsu muttered. I went to my side. There, we waited for our happy, excited customers, like always.

Me- Alright, so my updates will be at random times and they may take a while. There is just something serious going on right now so I may have trouble updating like usual. On the bright side of things, school's almost out! On the down side, I'm probably taking summer classes at the college so more stress than a usual summer where this stuff would happen. Anyways, my personal problems aren't a part of the story so let's get on with the disclaimer!

Kyon- Amii, you need to let it out.

Me- I said disclaimer.

Kyo- Fine. She said disclaimer and we can't stop her. We might as well help her.

Hikaru- Amii doesn't own us

Kaoru- Or OHSHC

Haruhi- She owns Kyo, Kyon, Mitsu, Mahalyn, Michi (only mentioned), Izanami, and Benten.

Kisa- I'm owned by slashingfuit101.

Ivy- Otaku-Lord-Bubbles owns me.

Those without a part- Join us next chapter!
