Chapter 8: Koharu
The gang lay out on the couches after a hard 4 hours of hosting, not that it wasn't semi-entertaining; they wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't, but after awhile the constant flirting got tiring. "So…" Bankotsu turned on his stomach and stared at Kagome on the couch with her head in a pillow. "Why did you want to come to this school?" he asked, he didn't really care the silence was just killing him.
Kagome slowly sat up onto her elbows and looked over at Bankotsu who almost appeared to be asleep on the couch. "Well…it was the best school that I could get a scholarship in…" Bankotsu opened his eyes a little and frowned slightly, the others were lazily looking over from their spots now.
"Then you must be planning on college I wager…" said Kouga from an armchair.
Kagome turned onto her back and had her hands behind her head cushioning it lazily. "Yeah…I want to go to college in America…" said Kagome. The others looked at her alarmed.
"You mean you'll be leaving Japan when you graduate?" Inuyasha said from the table he was laying on spread eagle.
"Yeah… my whole family will be moving…my dad is already settled in America…" Kagome said softly.
"Why is your dad over there?" asked Shippo innocently from another couch, his head resting in Sesshoumaru's lap.
"We would all be over there if I and Souta had gotten scholarships there but we didn't so my mom and grandpa are raising us here until we move to join our dad, once we get scholarships there we'll be leaving Japan. The long distance relationship is hard on my mom and dad…" The others fell silent and they all just rested in a peaceful silence…that is until the doors slammed open and there in the door way stood a strange young girl, possibly a freshman's age but she wasn't wearing the uniform. The six guys and girl jumped in alarm and looked at the girl like she was crazy. The girl had short dark brown hair in a ponytail and a strangely perky look on her face. The girl's eyes scanned the room and they landed on Miroku.
"Miroku-sama!" She squealed joyously and tackled the young man who sat petrified on the couch. The rest stared on in wonder all thinking the exact same thing. 'Sango is gonna kill him…'
"Ummm…" Miroku said obviously really confused as to what was going on. Kagome cocked her head to the side and stared at the young girl who just glomped onto the Vice President of the Host Club.
"What? You don't remember me Miroku-sama?" the girl pouted and Miroku shook his head slowly. "It's ME! Koharu!" The girl giggled. Miroku still looked confused as did the others. "We're to be married silly!" she hugged him again and Miroku looked deeply disturbed.
"WHAT!" the rest of the club screamed in shock.
"You mean you have a fiancé Miroku! I only told Sango you had one to make her jealous before the Christmas Party! Damn! Why didn't you say anything before!" demanded Inuyasha.
Miroku gave Inuyasha a dead pan look. "Maybe, because I don't have a fiancé?" The club went silent and quietly contemplated what this all meant.
"Soo…" said Kouga. "She isn't your fiancée? Then why does she say you do?"
Miroku shrugged and Koharu looked up at him with starry eyes. "Don't be silly Miroku-sama! In Tsubasa we are to marry! Now we can get married for real!"
Kagome raised and eyebrow. "Wait, Tsubasa…that's a video game, an RPG to be exact…" Koharu looked at Kagome in wonder.
"Do you like to play it too! Miroku-sama's REAL name is Mikai!" said Koharu. Kagome remembered playing the game a little bit when she was in middle school, it wasn't as popular back then but she definitely remembered Mikai, the main male hero of the game when you played as a girl, and now that she thought about it Miroku and Mikai look freakishly alike…go figure…wait, that means she thinks the game is REAL! Ok…we have a nut job on our hands… Kagome glanced around at the other members and they seemed to share this sentiment in regards to the crazy little girl.
"Umm…so what does a loony wench like you want with Miroku?" asked Inuyasha.
Koharu didn't seem to notice the insult and smiled. "Well, as his future wife I must learn my husband's business in short…I shall be the Host Club's manager!" The room fell silent and Kagome could swear she heard a cricket chirp.
"Umm…I don't think we nee—." Inuyasha was cut off by Miroku.
"Wait…lets hear her out…do you have any unique ideas for the club?" asked Miroku being the usual business man that he is.
Koharu blinked for a minute and then her face brightened up. "I know! How about we make a promotional movie for the Host Club! Like advertising!" Koharu suggested off the cuff.
The club looked at her for a minute. "That is an interesting idea…alright…if you can get everything we would need to make this movie you can be the Host Club manager…" said Miroku, not really expecting her to go through with it. Koharu got a determined look on her face and as she dashed out of the room the Host Club stared after her deeply disturbed.
The next day Kagome walked into the Host Club to find that all of the guys were lined up like in the military and the small perky girl was back and was marching up and down the line of scared looking guys who wanted to be anywhere but there right now. Kagome sweat dropped and attempted to back out slowly but the evil perky Nazi spotted her and before Kagome knew it she was standing in line with the rest of the club. Inuyasha glanced at her and Kagome gave him a slight smile.
Koharu began to pace in front of them and she came to the far left of the line and faced Sesshoumaru. "The whole mysterious quiet thing is working but you need to show a little more emotion! Soften up that face a little stone man!" Koharu yelled in Sesshoumaru's face, but he didn't even look at her, as if not even acknowledging her presence.
Koharu was unfazed by Sesshoumaru's lack of a response and stood in front of Shippo now who smiled up at her cheerfully. Koharu glared down at Shippo. "Cuteness on the inside and out is too shallow! From now on you will be cute on the outside but a sadistic lunatic on the inside!" Koharu proclaimed Shippo looked up at her with teary eyes and began to cry dramatically. The rest of the club turned and stared at Shippo and then gave Koharu a hard look.
Koharu ignored the group, walked past Miroku and stood in front of Kouga and Bankotsu who stared at her flatly. "You two SO are not gay and it is obvious! From now on you shall be playing on competing basketball teams! That shall spark things up!" The cousins looked at her and then at each other. 'Is this girl crazy? We go to the same school so how can we be on different teams?' the cousins thought.
Koharu suddenly stood in front of Inuyasha. Inuyasha had his hands in his pockets and a bored expression on his face; he didn't expect any criticisms to be thrown at him… "And you! You whore yourself off like a dime store floozy! You spread your love so flippantly that it is worth nothing! You are unbelievably popular but from here on out you shall be lonely and scorned even though you are so popular!" Inuyasha stared down at Koharu stunned and confused.
Koharu moved to stand in front of Kagome who was idly inspecting her nails; she didn't really care what the little crazy girl had to say. "Hmmm…There is something not right about you Kagome…" Kagome looked up at Koharu sharply. "Kagome…that's a very feminine name don'tcha think?" Koharu said suspiciously. "Well…a poor boy who is bullied at the rich private school he goes to…PERFECT! Oh!" Koharu looked at Miroku and blushed. "You're Perfect too Miroku-sama! I wouldn't change a thing!" Koharu giggled.
"I am honored…" said Miroku charmingly.
The next day the shrieking voice of a very crazy girl could be heard all through the school. "LIGHTS!...CAMERA!...ACTION!"
