"You don't have to do this you know?" Haruhi states as she watches Kyoko limber up. On the other side of the room, various ladies are huddled together ready to throw the Upstart with pitchforks if and when she fails to impress them. Tamaki meanwhile was making cheerful commentary with Renge to hype people up for the trials as the twins place bets on the outcome, all carefully monitored by Kyoya diligently taking notes in his only ones not participating were Mori and Honey who were happily eating cake at their designated table with their guests. They would be participating in the first round as Kyoko's guests which Kyoko had to entertain with her own cuteness and charm. Kyoko would have 10 minutes to win them over or else fail and be escorted by angry fangirls. Easy right?
First test:
Kyoko approaches the third-years table, her walk elegant and sophisticated born from years of training. Her smile was placid and refreshing.
"Ohayo, how may I serve you today?"
"Usa -chan and I want earl grey tea and lots of cake! Right, Usa-chan."The bunny nods. "Mori will have Matcha and cucumber sandwiches."
"Uhn" Mori says in agreement.
"Very good and you girls."
At this the complications start:
"I'll have mint tea in Royal Albert cup with chocolate bonbons shaped like roses served in a miniature picnic basket Ala Heidi"
"That sounds lovely, Sakura-chan! I'll have Chamomile served in a blue Wedgwood with a dash of Tasmanian honey and a strawberry fruit tart served English Salon Style.
"Well I'll have Lady grey served in the Queen Anne tea set with muscovado sugar and a slice of lemon served exactly at 208 degrees with a plate of macaroons 2 rose, 3 vanilla, a mint and 5 pistachios served in a gold tray with cherubim."
On and on the girls went constantly egging each other to make more outlandish orders, throwing out brand names and fancy concoctions like they were hipsters at their favorite coffee shop. Finally Kyoko had enough, taking a page from the demon lord's handbook she flashed them an ultimate gentlewoman's smile and clapped her hands firmly.
"Wonderful. Will that be all." With that she heads to the kitchen the epitome of grace and poise. A crowd of eyes follow her as she closes the door. 30 minutes later she comes back wheeling a large cart and a humongous basket in one hand. She sets it in front of the Third year's table.
"Here you go:
Matcha and cucumber sandwiches
Mint tea and chocolate bonbons,
Chamomile with a honey and a miniature strawberry fruit tart served English Salon Style.
Lady grey with muscovado sugar and a slice of lemon served exactly at 208 degrees with a plate of macaroons 2 rose, 3 vanilla, a mint and 5 pistachios
And for Honey-Senpai We have Ear Grey with Black forest, Red Velvet, Carrot cake, Sans rival and Cheesecake."
Will that be all?
Cue the defeated huffs of girlish pride. Kyoko Mogami's First Host Test: passed
2nd test :
Your second test was to create something beautiful capable of charming the lovely ladies over here with nothing but the contents of this table. Kyoya-senpai will give an appraisal of the value of your work
With a determined nod Kyoko immediately pounces on the craft materials grabbing the sewing needle and thread and what comes out is an elaborate cloth doll with magnificent curls in a splendid court gown with frills and lace jewels dripping from her face, arms and neck.
Kyoko gestures to the "Ladies, May I present The Duchess Victoria."
"Wah, It's so realistic!"
"Look at the gown, the embroidery is exquisite."
"Forget the gown, look at the jewels!"
Kyoya pushes up his glasses silently inspecting Kyoko's craftsmanship and the quality of the materials, "My, my I do believe this could sell."
"Sell it to me, senpai."
"No I want it!"
"No me"
Fortunately Kyoya manages to stop the cat fight with a simple clearing of the throat. "Ladies, please."
"Sorry, Kyoya-senpaaiii ." They say unison.
Kyoko Mogami's Second Host Test: passed
3rd Test:
The crowd of fan girls gather silently in a wide circle. In the middle are Kyoko, Hikaru and Kaoru. The twins holding their infamous newsboy caps as Kyoko looks at them with steely determination. Tamaki, ever the dramatic host, speaks." Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the grand finale of today's events. Right now we are witnessing history in the making as Kyoko the Immortal faces the dastardly duo known as the Hitachiin twins in a fight for the ages.
"Yeah,yeah don't be so over dramatic boss."
"Here give us the mic.
"Wait no it's mine."
A short tussle later. Tamaki is face planted on the floor as the twins address the crowd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. It's time to play the ``Which one is the Hikaru Game!"
The crowd goes wild. One of the girls faints as her soul comes out of her mouth. Kyoko's aura is deadly.
The twins put on their hats, moving side to side in elaborate patterns as they twist and pose for the crowd. The fan girls scream as Kyoko carefully observes them. Finally they stop.
"Which one is Hikaru!"
"Hikaru is on the right, Kaoru on the left."
"That is…..cue drum roll…. Correct.!" Excited murmurings break twins then proceed to drape themselves over Kyoko. Hikaru holding the mic leans in.
"Tell us, how did you accomplish such a monumental achievement? Did you guess? Pray? Consulted the spirits as to who is more handsome?"
"Do you have magic powers?"
"I wish. I simply used the power of observation. You see.. "Cue long and disturbing analysis of body measurements that pretty much bugs out everyone in the room. "Simple no?"
Kyoko Mogami's Third and Final Host Test: passed with flying colors
As the hosts celebrate and the girls reluctantly and tentatively accept the newbie. One individual, a righteous cross dresser looks on. Her shoulders are tight and her eyes bright. Get ready world Future attorney Fujioka Haruhi has something to say.
Author Notes: Miss me? So now Kyoko has been officially hazed into hosting. The Girl has skill. Here's to her being able to show them off. Also Kyoko was definitely the type of girl to want to have tea parties as a kid now she's going to have plenty of opportunity to host them with Ouran girls. Hope she doesn't break anything. ;) Tune in next time to see why Haruhi is so mad. Happy Holidays!
