~With Rose~

Closely following Umehito in the darkness, I notice a faint outline of a rather large door in front of us. He let go of my hand as he went to the door handle when the light blinded me. Blinking rapidly, I regained my sight, noticing that we were inside the bustling room of the Host Club.

Turning to Umehito in awe, "Wow…how'd you do that?" to be quickly swept up into the arms of someone and dragged away. A voice yelled right into my ear, "I'll save you, my Princess!" being pulled along to wherever his destination was. Suddenly we were kneeling with my squished into with a tight grip. Once he believed we were safe, that grip loosened, allowing me to turn and face my 'savior.'

It was none other than Tamaki with me behind a rather large couch. *Well, strangely, this doesn't surprise me out of everyone; it was him* slapping my forehead as I stood up. "Uh right, listen, I did not need you…what the hell!" staring wide-eyed, finally noticing his attire.

Tamaki had on gloves that resembled paws and a tail attached to his pants. On his head, he wore a bright yellow mane with ears popping out of the top of it, and directly on top sat a jeweled crown. *What have I stumbled into now* rubbing my eyes in disbelief.

"Right! First, I did not need to, as you put it, 'rescuing,' and second, why are you dressed like that!" pointing at each part of his outfit. Tamaki had risen from his hiding spot and pulled me back into a hug. "My Princess, he had you in his dark clutches, and I as the King have to rescue you!" tightening his grip *This is a death grip.*

Tamaki hugged me closer to his chest, staring off into space. *I really didn't want to know what was going on in his mind…* putting my hands on his chest and forcing myself away with a strong push. Once free, I turned to find the large door I had entered from with Umehito nowhere in sight.

Furrowing my brows *How in the world…* then looking around to notice everyone in the club was looking or, more accurately, glaring in our general direction. The other hosts started to move towards Tamaki and me, now stood around us a tiger, hare, wolf, dog, and twin red foxes.

~Unknown~

The club started as 'normal' as any other day. Each of the hosts was in their spots talking to their group of girls for the time. They all played their roles in today's club theme, but they all wondered the same thing… if Rose will show up.

The room darkened while a relatively massive door appeared before the club. Which made the people stop and look over, but a specific blonde screamed and hid behind the couch. Creaking open the door revealed the president of the dark magic club Umehito. Standing close, trying to regain their sight, was Rose.

Rose glanced around the room, watching the club's livelihood, then turned to speak to Umehito. Tamaki peeked from his hiding spot to see them together waiting, then lunged from the place to save Rose. "I'll save you, my Princess!" picking her up and carrying her back to the area behind the couch.

After a few minutes, Rose escaped the grasps and started to tell off the Prince before getting distracted by the costume. Tamaki brought Rose back into a tight hug as neither noticed the stares and glares aimed at them. The other hosts walked over to them to see the show unfold as Rose pushed away once more.

As I take in everyone's animal forms, "Uh…hi there…" waving awkwardly. A weight fell on my shoulder, causing me to fixate on Tamaki's face that was way too close to mine for comfort. "Princess, you have greeted us with your lovely face" he went to grab my chin, but I took a step back to avoid him.

Turning to the others, Hunny came up to me with a sad face while hugging Usa-Chan "Why didn't you show up yesterday…do you not like us" with big sad eyes at me. *Oh no, not the puppy dog eyes look…* letting a soft sigh out, I looked him in the eye.

"No, that wasn't the reason I did show up. Remember, I am still new, so I had to catch up on anything that I missed.

So I had a bunch of work to do on top of my regular workload," then moved my sight to everyone. Sticking my hand into my bag, I pulled out my book, flipping to the page of all the colorful envelopes, and waved them, "Are these still good…and how do they work if they do?" with a smile playing on my lips.

Kyoya stepped forwards, "Each envelope is for the said host. You can choose which to sit and talk to by using their envelope," finishing with pushing up his glasses.

Tamaki jumped in front of Kyoya and into my face. "So Princess, what is your type…." Tamaki moved "The Loli-Shota or the Wild" in-between Hunny and Takashi. Hunny had a pair of grey ears sticking off the top of his head as he hugged Usa-Chan. Takashi stood with arms crossed with black and orange stripes across his face with matching ears popping out from the top of his head.

Tamaki then moved to the Twins "The Little Devil kind," who leaned on one another with mischief grins. Their fox ears blended with their hair and had tails attached to their pants like Tamaki *Well, that suits them well*

Sliding over to the last two, "The Natural or the Cool," Tamaki tried hugging Haruhi, who scooted away from him. Haruhi wore a blank face wearing a pair of dog ears with a tail attached to her. *She looked so thrilled…she did not agree to this…* while Kyoya had wolf ears that matched his hair along with a tail attached to him with a stoic look.

Tamaki then moved back in front of me. "Or my beautiful Princess the Prince is more your type," holding his hand out to me, giving a dazzling smile waiting for my response. Glancing at the pile of envelopes, I flip through them to the one I wanted.

"Okay, I would like to sit with…."
