Chapter twenty two:

By the time the end of the day rolls around Kaoru is barely able to keep himself from shaking. He takes a breath before he joins the others in their meeting spot.

"Alright. Everyone's here." Kyouya nods when he sees Kaoru join in. "The limo is ready and waiting for us. So let's head off on our way."

"This is so exciting!" Hunny exclaims knowing that they'll need to focus on the trip, not the reason they're actually doing this.

"Indeed it is." Tamaki brings one hand to his chest extending the other out in his dramatic pose. His eyes closed as he tries to seem more prince like. "We'll be the stars of the show! Shinning as grace the stage!"

Haruhi softly chuckles though she also rolls her eyes at this. "I'm sure we will. Rich people going up against the people from the show." She lightly agrees making Tamaki grins as he gets out of his dramatic pose.

"Alright. Either way we should get going." Kyouya leads the way to the limo where they start to pile in, the driver holding the door open.

Kaoru can't help it as he slightly glances around trying to not make it obvious. He notices a fancy looking car to blend in with the others. He also notices that the driver is leaning against the car wearing sunglasses. He glances away knowing who that is. He makes sure he had his gun where he hides it and gets into the limo. He notices out of the corner of his eye that the the other is getting into the car as well. He turns to his friends knowing that they are making the railing a little more obvious, to him at least so he'll react. He really is running out of time. He knows that it's all done and fixed today... Or someone is going to die... He puts on a smile and talks with his friends about the tv station they're going to visit.

Knowing that they know that they might have someone listening in on their conversation.

"I wonder if they'd let us try filming a little bit!" Hunny mentions looking like he could bounce in his seat. "That'd be so cool to do!"

"It would be." Kaoru agrees as he and Hunny let their eyes meet. "I think I'd like to see how they run the show behind the scenes. Like the control board for the lights and backgrounds and stuff. To make things be able to power on." He figures that it's a good thing to learn about just in case... Just in case he has to do the unthinkable... If he doesn't die first...

"Yes." Kyouya nods as adjusts his glasses on his face. Though the glare on his lenses hides his eyes. "Perhaps it could be used to help out within the host club. Especially for special events or for something a little extra. We could even get more customers that way."

"Doesn't the host club already have spot lights and such that sometimes come on for drama?" Haruhi points out in which Kyouya glances to her with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes. It does. Though in truth it is actually more basic. The stuff they'll have at the tv show is a lot more advanced than that." Kyouya confirms to Haruhi who listens to this. "Our system seemed to work well for us so I didn't think of upgrading it. Though now that we have the chance with this. To have some hands on experience, it might be worth looking into."

"Yeah I suppose you're right." Haruhi lightly sighs in defeated agreement. She brings a hand to her chin in thought as her eyes glance up. "It would be kind of nice to add some extra special effects here and there. It could give extra effect to what we're doing at the time."

"If we do decide to get it for the club me and Tamaki would worry about getting it." Kyouya assures Haruhi who turns back to look at him. His glare on his glasses preventing their eyes from meeting.

"I already trust you guys to have everything ready." Haruhi assures him then turns when the driver informs them that they're arriving.

The place where they shoot the show is amongst a bunch of studios. It gives a view of people moving props, prepared backgrounds, actors heading to the next part, people in costume taking breaks, and a bunch of crew members working.

The limo parks by studio three as shown by the big blue number three sign on it. It has beige walls and different door sizes to move different things in or out.

The driver comes out and opens the door in which the host club come out.

The host club take in the area around themselves. Looking in amazement and wonder at things. This being their first time in a place where some shows and movies are shot at.

"This is so cool!" Hunny bounces around the group pausing every now and again to look at the people. "Seeing the behind the scenes in person really makes you look at movies so differently." He tries to see if he knows any actors or costumes that he can see.

"Come on. Well want to make sure they know we are here." Kyouya leads the group of them into the area as they follow. He flashes the invitation to the guard who lets them through.

They enter to find a big open space and in the middle is the stage and audience bleachers. They see that off to the side is where the control room can be seen. They also notice a bunch of heavy duty lights, as well as a bunch of cameras. They do notice that some cameras are on a metal pole attached to a ring with wheels, while others almost seem to be the hands to mechanical arms.

There's a bunch of people moving around making sure everyone is ready. Which includes a place to get the make up done as needed.

Kaoru does notice some people cleaning or fixing a few cameras. He supposes that they do indeed gotta try to keep it in tip top shape.

So that there isn't too many glitches or malfunctions when the recording happens.

"Hello! Hello!" A voice greets them getting their attention as a man approaches them. He has black hair smoothed over to one side, while still looking like he has a head full of hair. He is wearing a slightly dark blue suit with red tie. His tie has white small criss cross lines on it. His black shoes are so polished that you could count them as a mirror. "You're our guest if I'm not mistaken. Welcome to my studio!" He raises his hand grinning as his dark brown eyes focus on them.
