One Week Later

The week had been a rough one. The twins were not getting along very well with Yuki, and he had been quite successful in getting upset with nearly everybody as was his way. Even Kyoya's relationship problem with it albeit one sided had been quit often on Yuki's aggravation scale.

Ever since last week he had been trying every day to get back to his original spot in the host club, only to have Tamaki snatch it away. It was clearly obvious that he was getting a lengthier punishment than he had expected. "Senpai. Are you still upset about the class, or is this an advancement on my punishment for fighting with the twins?"

Tamaki sighed. "I told you! I want you to collect three clients by the week's end, and you've only collected two extras!" He said pointing a finger at Yuki. "It's the end of the week and you're one client short.

"And I already told YOU! I didn't make you take that class." Yuki pinched the bridge of his nose. He turned to his seat. "That's probably why you put me in the center, to get as much spotlight as I can." He had to admit Tamaki was pulling out one of his special tricks. Putting a host in the center if they were not doing so well, often spiked the demand. He did it if hosts struggled at any point. Yuki wasn't struggling though. He simply had more work to do. "Even with that, do you really think there is anybody that is currently looking for a new host to entertain them?"

"Umm I am!"

The group all turned to the doorway. In the frame stood a tall student just about Mori, and Honey Senpai's age. He had brown hair, and it had a bit of a long, but spiked appearance. He came in with a cocky looking smirk, and hands in his pockets. He wore his uniform relaxed fitting. The buttons undone to show his tie rather tied in a knot instead of properly tied. He had a pair of piercing fresh clover green colored eyes.

"None of you would have trouble hosting for a boy would you?"

Yuki took one look and he felt like he was a thermometer and the red was rising. He got chills, by trying to not make himself a total doofus. He nervously walked up, and took his hand. "And what might your name be?" He said managing to not let his voice crack.

"Hello, my name is Taro." He smiled allowing the albino to take his hand.

"Taro?" He said feeling he was smiling a bit too widely. He had to get himself under control. "Well, Taro we have a wide selection for you today. We have a lolita, a strong type, cool collected type, princely type, mischievous type, natural type, and artistic type. Our variety is sure to please. So is there anybody in particular you had in mind?" He felt his chest muscles pounding. This was the first boy he had ever seen come through the doors. He took a fast glance at Kyoya, only to see him wink. Almost a sign as if to say he was happy for him.

Taro turned in his direction. "Actually I was looking for you in particular." Yuki was doing cartwheels in mind.

The Hitachiin twins were almost shocked. Kaoru turned to Hikaru. "Did he just say he was interested in Yuki?" The twins had front row seats, and the girls were going to walk in any moment. If anything that would have made Yuki and his new "client" the stars of the show. The two couldn't help but notice that Yuki was acting far more excited than was acceptable for a straight young man. Were they looking at a man crush? They paid attention, and couldn't help but wonder if this was good or bad. It was no question that Yuki had been in bad blood with them, so what could they do, that involved this new mystery guy? They watched closely.

Yuki sat down, holding Taro's hands in his. He was so handsome. "I used to watch this show that had magical monsters, and you caught them in balls, and the character had a rival, and you kind of remind me of him. Your spikey hair and stuff." He laughed, turning further red. He gathered himself again, and continued. "So, are you new? What made you want to come to the host club?" It was hard for the rest to see it, but Kyoya had no trouble seeing the stars in Yuki's eyes. He never took Yuki to be the kind to go for the older gentlemen, but who was really able to tell with a gay romance.

Taro chuckled, and told his side. "Well, I heard that there was a boy in the host club that was just the cutest little white haired sweetheart, and what do you know? I found him." Yuki stared at him, nearly sighing in adoration, but, it was cut short when they looked to the side to see all the girls staring at them. In unison they all shrieked with delight.

"Did you just have a boy client before the club opened?"

"Was he gay?"

"Did he ask for a kiss? It looked like he was about to kiss you!"

"Does that mean you're gay too?"

Yuki had been bummed after Taro left. The girls were all over him. They were asking questions, that were all about Taro. It seemed they all mounded into a collective, and become a big lump of a grand question. He explained that he was host that just so happened to be a boy. He asked for him, and nothing more happened. Well, Tamaki wanted him to register three new clients, and the girls all clamoring over him must have counted for something right.

Haruhi however managed to save the day, and rescue Yuki from the onslaught of questions. "Hey, Yuki. You wanna help me make some instant coffee?" Yuki took the oppourtunity to excuse himself, and pretend to help.

"Thanks, I was really twisting in the wind for a minute there." He said pouring water.

Mori, and Honey were watching all the girls clamoring over Yuki's station. "Wow! Yuki-chan sure is popular today."

The Hitachiin twins nodded. Kaoru squinted his eyes. "Yeah. Maybe a bit too popular."
