Guess who's back. Back again. Sandy's back. Tell a friend. Lol. Couldn't resist. But yeah, I'm back! Sorry for being MIA. School and work has been extremely hectic and has been keeping me occupied. Sadly, I already have finals coming up in like three weeks, which sucks. Anyways, I want to thank everyone for all the adds and favorites and all that jazz. It's because of you all that I keep on writing! Hope you all enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 20: Shirou, the Naughty Type
I woke up Monday morning refreshed and fully awake. This weekend was eventful and actually made me think a lot more than normal. Well, it was mostly about the whole me liking Takashi and all that jazz. I sighed and got off of my bed and ran my fingers through my hair as a way to comb it. That's when I realized that my hair was starting to grow. I rushed towards the bathroom and did my business.
I was right. My hair is starting to grow longer. It was starting to pass my neck and I knew already that my hair was gonna drive me crazy! Let me put it this way, I don't like having long hair. It gets annoying and it has to be taken care of a lot. I got used to short hair when I was little because okaa-san would always have my hair cut short. I think she wanted me to be born a boy. Eh, who cares.
After that realization, I headed back to my room to get dressed. I was about to put on some long skinny black pants when I suddenly heard my phone start to ring.
"Who the hell is calling me this early?" I questioned as I picked up my phone. "Hikaru?" I flipped open my phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Good morning, Setsuna-senpai," I heard both Hikaru and Kaoru say simultaneously.
"Good morning boys. Now why is it that you're calling me this early in the morning?" I questioned as I walked over to my closet and pulled out the blazer and a white button up shirt. I didn't even bother grabbing the tie.
"We just wanted to let you know that today is a theme day at the Host Club. So make sure that you shaved," Hikaru said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because it's for your costume. See you at school, Setsuna-senpai," Kaoru spoke this time.
"Bye!" They both said before hanging up the phone.
"Bye," I barely managed to say before they clicked. That was just weird. After that whole weird conversation, I went back to changing and seeing at the fact that I did shave my legs, I decided to wear some black knee length pants.
Once I changed into my uniform, I grabbed all my school stuff, my black slip-ons and left my room. I headed down the hall towards Fuka's to see if she was ready or not. I knocked on her door and waited for her to open.
Fuka opened the door and said, "Morning."
"Morning. Are you ready to leave yet?" I asked while I fixed the collar of my blouse.
She nodded her head and said, "Yeah. Let's go get our bentos."
I simply just nodded my head and went down the hall and down the stairs. I went to the kitchen and grabbed the bentos. That's when I remembered my bandage on my left hand. I placed my messenger bag down and began to remove the bandages. A scab was starting to form where I had gotten cut.
"Better keep the bandage on 'cause I don't think it would be a good idea to be picking at it," I said to myself as I began to re-bandage it. It was a bit hard since I was doing it on my own but I managed.
By now Fuka was downstairs and she entered the kitchen. She grabbed her bento and said, "Let's go."
"Un," was all that I said.
It was a nice day out. The sky only had a few clouds that were flying by and there were birds out already. In other words, a perfect day to be outdoors. Once Fuka and I got to Ouran, we went our separate ways and headed to our classes. I walked towards my first class and once I arrived, I found Hunny and Takashi already there in their seats.
"Good morning, guys!" I greeted them as I walked towards my desk.
"Morning, Suna-chan!" Hunny greeted me with a big smile.
"Morning," Takashi gave me a small smile.
"Do you guys know what the theme is for today at the Host Club?" I asked them as I sat down and placed my messenger bag on the floor next to my feet.
"Nope. Do you know, Takashi?" Hunny and I looked towards Takashi as he asked.
All Takashi did was shake his head saying no. I sighed and wondered what the theme would be. In my head, I began to guess what the possible themes that we could do were. There was the possibility that it could be related to some sort of culture or that it could be something random. I seriously have no clue.
"How is your hand, Setsuna?" Takashi's voice suddenly caught my attention. I looked at him and said,
"Oh. It's getting better. It's healing really well and I thought it would be better if I kept the bandage on 'cause I know I will mess with it and probably make it worse," I told him as I looked at him.
"Suna-chan, that means you'll be better in no time, ne?"
I looked at Hunny and smiled, "Un!"
The whole day rolled on and I was really glad that I didn't mess with the scab that was forming on my hand. Lunch was the same as always; Ate with the whole Host Club and avoided getting killed by Tamaki.
Now it was Hosting duty time! I walked in and immediately I froze. Giant pillars surrounded the third music room as did giant, bright rugs that hung against the walls. If I was to keep on walking forward, the center had drapes of curtains hanging over it and a purple rug that had a pink border and various designs.
"Cool!" I heard Hunny's voice from next to me as he stepped in further. That's why I noticed something.
"Hey, Hunny?" He looked at me as I continued, "Where's Takashi?"
He held Usa-chan close to him as he spoke, "He went to go tell the Kendo Club that he wasn't gonna be able to come today."
"He's in the Kendo Club?" Wow that's impressive.
"Uh huh!" As soon as Hunny finished talking, he ran off into the wonders of, well, whatever the themed room was.
I cautiously walked into the room and kept on looking at my surroundings. This was a bit freaky if you asked me since I had no freakin' clue as to how they got all these damn pillars in the room.
I suddenly stopped in the middle of the room. Tamaki was in front of me, smiling like a lunatic. To my left was Hikaru, while at my right was Kaoru. I peered over my right shoulder and there stood Kyoya was his little black book. And that's when I realized it: I was surrounded with no means of escape. It was like I was a gazelle and they were the pack of lions.
'Save me,' I thought to no one in particular.
And that's when they all pounced. Well, it was more like Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki who had pounced. Kyoya just stood there watching with an amused smirk as he saw me being carried away by the three males.
I was thrown into the dressing room where I was face-to-face with my costume for the day. I was ready to scream when something was suddenly wrapped around my mouth, preventing me from talking. And it didn't help that my arms suddenly became tied behind my back.
I muffled profanities as I watched the Twins begin to do their evil work by prepping the costume. Haruhi stood beside them, giving me silent condolences as she watched me struggle at first.
The Twins were right about to leave but they stopped and said, "If you refuse to wear the costume, Setsuna-senpai, we are gonna make sure that Kyoya adds more to Haruhi's dept." They smirked as they left a shocked Haruhi and me.
"Damn devil twins," Haruhi said to herself more than to me as she removed the scarf from my mouth and removed the larger scarf that tied my arms. She then looked at me and spoke, "Sorry, Suna-chan, about all this. It's okay if you don't-"
I stopped her there by saying, "Its fine. I know that you've been working hard with your debt so I'll do it. That's what friends are for, right?"
Instead of answering, she hugged me and smiled. She said her thanks and left me so that I can change. I sighed as I looked at the ridiculous outfit that they were making me wear. Once I am dressed and out there, I am so gonna beat someone up.
Placing the teal ankle length pants, I noted that it ended just a little bit below my pelvic bone. This meant that it would be showing more skin than what I entitled so. I ran my fingers through my hair to try and calm myself down. I grabbed a dark blue hip scarf that was so thin, that I was able to see the shape of my hand, and wrapped it around the hem of my pants. It already had coins sewn onto it.
The next part I really hated. It was a teal bra like top that was longer from the bottom. It's kinda hard to explain but you know how normally the bottom of your bra goes under your chest, well this one went a little bit lower but still that the support a regular bra would. Like a sports bra. Damn, this means I have to take off my bra. Reluctantly I did and I quickly placed on the top.
There were accessories already waiting to be placed on my body. Yet for some odd reason, there was make-up there already. I decided that this time I was going to do my own make-up. I first began with all my accessories: I placed a dark blue armband on my right arm and on my left I put on some silver bracelets.
Now it was time to put make-up on before the dark blue veil. Luckily for me, there was a mirror in the dressing room that I was forced into. I looked at the shades of eye shadows that were there. I liked the dark blue that matched with my outfit and I thought that a silver color would go well with it instead of black. Now with that in mind, I began to work. I started by putting the silver as my base. I did it for both of my eyes and then I applied the dark blue to be the "shadow". I think that for my first try I did pretty well. Not only that I placed some dark blue eye shadow like I would for eyeliner.
"Setsuna-senpai, hurry up!" I heard someone shout from outside.
"Hold you damn horses!" I shouted back. I ran my fingers through my hair taming it and after that I placed the veil on my face. I swear when I looked at myself in the mirror, I thought that I was looking at a picture in a history book or something. Ah who cares, not like anyone in particular will notice.
After placing on some dark blue ballet soft shoes, I left the dressing room and headed towards the main room where I found my fellow hosts. Well all of them except for Takashi. Let's begin with Tamaki, shall we?
He was wearing a long and loose red undergown robe that had long sleeves and on top of that that was a white with red edges robe that too was long. The vest-like robe was held together by a purple sash that wrapped around Tamaki's waist. On top of his head was a red sheik that had a long white tassel attached to the back of it. He had on large golden hoop earrings as well as golden bracelets, a ring and necklaces. On his feet, he wore brown sandals. Of course, he was the king.
The next person that I saw was Kyoya. Of course he wore what I think are his signature colors, black and purple – even though it's a light purple. He wore a cartan thob with a white sash that fell off his left shoulder and was tucked under a purple sash that was tied around his waist. Golden hoop earrings were present as well. He seemed to be carrying a basket of fruit so I had no clue to what position he was. Hmm, maybe there were no positions this time.
The next person that I saw nice and dressed was Hunny. As always no matter what costume he wore, he looked so freaking cute. He had on maroon pants that ended right above his ankles, just like mine. He had a pink sash wrapped around his waist. He wore a navy shirt that was long sleeved and at the end of the sleeve had a pattern that had swirls. The shirt was open and underneath it he had no shirt on. On top of his head was a scarf – or is it a turban? – that was pink. Around his neck was another white scarf. And adorning his feet was purple shoed that had a pointed toe which curled upward.
Next on the list was Haruhi. She wore a tan robe that was long sleeved and at the bottom of the sleeve was burgundy. On top of her head was a shiek, like Tamaki's, except that it was tan and that around the end of the shiek was a burgundy strip circling around. Also the tassel had a burgundy stripe going around. Around her neck was a burgundy scarf that had coins sown onto it already. On her feet were brown sandals and she was holding a golden pitcher. I wonder if it is made out of real gold. Knowing the Host Club, I bet it is.
Last but on least, unfortunately, was Hikaru and Kaoru. Both of had on the same costume, so it makes my life easier as I describe them. They both wore orange pants that ended right above their ankles, just like Hunny's and mines. Around their waist was a dark green scarf that was twisted to not make it look big. They had on a shirt similar to Hunny's except for that it had two shades of green. The base of the shirt was green and on their arm sleeve there was a dark green color that wrapped around their arm. They both had on shieks that were like Haruhi's except for the color. The base and the tassel was dark blue while the scarf-like object that wrapped around it was gold. The only way to tell the two apart was that one of them had gold jewelry that went horizontal across his chest – that was Hikaru – and the other had it going diagonal – which was Kaoru.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, why must you both torture me with this?" I directed to the costume that I was currently wearing. It's not that I didn't like it; I just don't feel comfortable with showing a lot of skin.
The two floated towards my direction and each had one arm wrapped around either my shoulders or waist.
"Because you are our toy," they stated.
"Tell me something I don't already know," I mumbled.
"And for him," they whispered into my ear before leaving me to myself.
Okay, now I am more confused. I just shook my head and walked over to Haurhi. "Haru-chan!" I shouted as I leaped in front of her. The coins that were sown around my hip scarf jingled as I landed.
She jumped at my sudden appearance as she held the pitcher close to her chest, "Suna-chan, don't scare me like that. By the way, you look nice."
I smiled, "Thanks! You look great too. But I can't wait to get out of this costume at the end of the day."
"Same here. Oh, otou-san says hi." Ah Ranka-san. He is awesome.
"Tell him when you go home that I said hi."
It was there and then that something attached itself to my legs. I looked down and Haruhi looked down as well. It was Hunny.
"Hunny, you look cute!" I lifted him up from the ground and he immediately wrapped his legs around my hips.
"Suna-chan looks pretty, like always. Ne, Haru-chan?" He asked Haruhi who simply nodded her head. He then lifted his finger up like he was thinking and then said, "Oh! Suna-chan, your cell phone was ringing."
"It's most likely Fuka who texted me. Okay, I'll be back." I placed him back on the ground and avoided being seen by Tamaki who I know would glomp me. I made it towards the dressing room and I went into my little changing room area that I had.
I bent down and dug around my messenger bag. I found my cell phone underneath my books and I flipped it open. It was a text message from Fuka. All it said was that otou-san was gonna come back from work late and that we were gonna order take-out. I texted her back and said that it was alright. I placed the cell phone back folded my clothes properly. I stepped out of the dressing room just to slam into something hard.
"Owie," I rubbed my nose from behind the veil. After rubbing it for a second, I looked up and I was really grateful that I was wearing my veil.
Right in front of me was Takashi. His face was red. I'm not sire if it was from running up here or the alternate possibility which is me in this outfit. But what is the probability of that happening? Great, now I'm using math terms explain my life. That's pretty sad.
"Sorry." As soon as the word left my mouth, I ran out of the dressing room.
I managed to get out from there but another problem happened right now. One word, well more like a name: Tamaki.
"Setsuna-senpai!" He ran towards me and did what he did best, glomping. I tried to evade his sudden 'attack' but it was no good. He wrapped his arms around me and began to twirl me around.
"Tamaki, put me down!" I whined as he kept on spinning and spinning. Does he ever get dizzy or something?!
"I don't want to. You are part of my harem, daughter, and you are forbidden to leave." He kept spinning and spinning.
"Tamaki put her down. We are going to open soon," Kyoya said as he walked over to the two of us. Luckily for me, Tamaki actually listened and stopped. As always, he had something to say.
"But okaa-san, Setsuna-senpai looks cute!" He grabbed me and held me against his chest.
At that exact same time, I saw Haruhi passing by with the Hikaru and Kaoru tailing her. "Haruhi!" I shouted her name and I got lucky. She looked towards our direction and she sighed as she saw my helplessness. Wow, this is pretty sad now that I think of it. Someone always bails me out whenever Tamaki has me in a chokehold.
"Senpai," Haruhi looked at Tamaki. "You should let go of Suna-chan. Like Kyoya-senpai said, we are opening up soon."
"Okay, Haruhi!" And like that, he let go of me. If it's that easy, I should try it myself.
I began to walk towards the center of the room where we would be standing at. There was carpet on the floor and some weird shaped chair that was basically made up of a bunch of cloth. Tamaki would be sitting there most likely. I simply sat on the floor with my legs crossed and waited for someone to notice that we should be getting ready to open. I closed my eyes for a second until I heard someone say my name.
"Setsuna."
I opened my eyes and for a moment I thought I died and gone to heaven. Takashi was standing right in front of me. The first thing I noticed was that he was topless – I'm a girl; don't blame me for the hormones. Anyways, he had on dark purple pants that flowed, making it look like a skirt, and it reached his ankles. Over his left shoulder was a grey scarf that was being held at his hips by a belt which held a knife – made out of gold, just to let you know. He wore golden arm guards on both arms and on top of his head was a dark purple scarf that wrapped around like Kyoya's. Also, he's barefoot.
Takashi held out his arm and opened his palm. There laid a silver bracelet. I looked at my left arm and indeed I found one that was missing.
"Oh, thanks." I reached out to grab the bracelet off of his hand only to have him grab my wrist. He got down on his knees in front of me and slipped on the bracelet for me. But what got me going – the blushing, mind you – is that as he did this, he just looked right at me. And then, our moment was interrupted.
"Everyone to your places! Hikaru and Kaoru heard a customer coming already!" Tamaki shouted as he walked towards his seat that was behind me.
I sighed and looked at the clock, 'It's too early for a customer to be coming. Oh well.' I watched Takashi move towards his designated spot and I also saw Hunny bouncing besides him. But here is an interesting fact: he whispered something into Takashi's ear. I was now curious as to what it could have been but like they say, "Curiosity killed the cat."
Poor cat.
"Setsuna-senpai, we have to set a pose for you," Kaoru said as Hikaru stood next to him.
"But I'm comfy already," I whined as a form of protest. Sadly, it didn't work. I was now being pulled to my feet by those two mini demons. But now they got upgraded to devils as soon as they moved me to stand in between Takashi and Kyoya.
"Alright, Setsuna-senpai. We know that you dance, so strike a pose for us," Hikaru and Kaoru spoke at the same time.
I mumbled a few words going along the lines of saying bastards and so on. I rose up my arms so that they would be over my head and I had my palms outwards, which would be facing the customers as they came in. I placed my left hand over my right and soon after I popped my right knee out.
"There I posed," I said to Hikaru and Kaoru as I held my pose.
"Hmm," they began as they glanced at me. They then turned towards Tamaki and said, "Tono, what do you think?"
Tamaki turned towards us and had this huge smile. He raised his hand and gave Hikaru and Kaoru a thumbs up. "Good job!'
A sweat drop slowly slid from my head as I stayed in place of my pose. Those three are a bunch of idiots. But then, the drop magically disappeared as the door of the Third Music Room suddenly opened.
"Welcome," me and my fellow Hosts said as the rose petals – that appeared out of no where – headed towards our first customer.
Oh my gosh. It was just a kid and on top of that a boy. I was forced into this position because of a boy. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who took notice.
"What? A kid?" Hikaru said as we all observed the kid who was currently on the floor freaked out. I'd be in the same position if I was him.
"On top of that, a boy," Kaoru spoke next.
"What's wrong, little lost one? What brings you here to my palace?" Tamaki spoke as if he was a king or something. Oh wait, he was with this theme thanks to the random floating sign that appeared next to him.
Impersonating An Arabian King
'Who the hell makes these signs appear?' I thought as I saw it fade into nothing. 'Freaky.'
The boy stood up and said, "Y-You're the king here?"
"Please, don't encourage him," I told the kid, but it was already too late since the thought already went into Tamaki's head.
"You're not?"
"Come forward, little lost one," Tamaki commanded the kid to walk towards us. "What did you call me now?"
'Please don't repeat it!' I screamed in my head.
"King." Oh, too late now.
Tamaki then suddenly got up and screamed out in delight of his so found 'title'. "Ohh, king!" And being the drama king he is, he raised his hand to rest it against his head while the other against his chest. He spun around and said, "That's right, I'm this host club's king!"
Not Used to Being Addressed As Such So Is Happy…
"More like the king of idiots," I whispered into Haruhi's ear. I got a small chuckle to come out of her.
"Elementary school class 5-A, Takaouji Shirou!" Shirou shouted out his introduction to us. He then pointed directly towards Tamaki and said, "I am here to ask the Host Club King to take me on as an apprentice!"
My eyes widened in shock of what this kid just asked. Is he trying to sentence himself to doom already? I guess I wasn't the only one since everyone was surprised to hear this, especially coming from a kid's mouth. I looked towards Tamaki and saw a blush plastered on his face. Oh you gotta be kidding me.
The Next Day…The Host Club is Now Open
Time went on and now I was done with all my customers. I walked around and looked for Tamaki who currently had Shirou with him. I found him and not only that, but I found Haurhi and Kyoya there watching from a distance as well.
As I approached them, I heard Haruhi say, "Isn't it difficult if he lets him observe from that distance?"
"I couldn't agree more. That just looks plain creepy if the kid keeps starting at Tamaki in action like that," I said as a sweat drop formed.
"He's always been a strong advocate of the saying that people are perceived to be more beautiful the closer they are viewed. Anyways, just leave them be," Kyoya said while he went back to his clip board that held his little black book.
"That just weird," was all that I said.
Haruhi had to go get something from the kitchen so I just kept on watching for a while until I heard the funniest thing come out of Shirou's mouth.
"Heck, you actually look more like the carp in my pond. I'm not going to give compliments that are this blatant."
Tamaki's customer suddenly became tearful at the word carp. And by now, I was bending over dying of laughter. I held my stomach as I kept on laughing and laughing. I didn't help that Tamaki kept making things worse, which made me, laugh even more. I couldn't hold it anymore. I was now on the ground just laughing my ass off.
"Setsuna-senpai, what's up?" I heard two voices say at the same time.
I looked up and held my arms out. Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed my arms and lifted me up from the ground. All I simply did was point to Tamaki and Shirou and they got the idea. They smirked and walked over to the two and the taunting now began. I just watched from a safe distance.
"Great that you have a new cute baby brother now, tono!" Hikaru said as he and Kaoru laughed. The laughter suddenly stopped when Kaoru became quiet.
'Must they still do hosting techniques during the funniest moments?' I sighed.
"Hikaru…would you have preferred a brother like him?" Kaoru 'shyly' said.
And then, the two embraced. Their faces were super close, like always, and a blush were on their faces.
"You idiot…even if I searched all over the world, there wouldn't be a better brother than you, Kaoru."
"Hikaru…"
And from behind, two blushing girls appeared which completed the scene.
"Kyaaa!" The one with short hair squealed.
"It's the forbidden sibling love!" The other with longer hair and bows squealed out too. Hearts floated around the two.
That's when I saw the poor boy freak out.
"Homos!" Shirou said as he had his left hand in a fist against his chest while he gripped the table. "And they're twins...so this is the so-called 'Kinkanyoukan', huh?"
Tamaki then appeared out of no where and corrected the scared kid, "You mean, 'Kinshinsoukan' (incest)."
The look on Shirou's face made me laugh. Poor kid was terrified. Then Hunny appeared and tackled the kid to a hug.
"Shirou-chan!" The typical pink flowers appeared around Hunny as he said, "Want to eat cake together?"
And then the freakiest thing happened as Hunny listed off the cakes. Cakes actually just appeared out of no where. I blinked my eyes and rubbed them. They were then gone. Oh I hope I'm not losing it.
"Get lost!" Shirou shouted at Hunny as he pushed the senior off of him. "What grade are you in? Why are you wearing a high school student's uniform?"
A Genuine High School Senior
I grinned at what was going to happen next. Takashi walked up to the two and said, "What's wrong, Mitsukuni?"
Shirou freaked even more! "Not fair! You got this old of a buddy!" Shirou shouted at Hunny, causing the poor senior to begin crying and climb up Takashi.
Genuinely His Classmate
Shirou backed away in fright and at the same time, Haruhi was walking with a tray with cups and a china tea pot. They crashed into each other and luckily, Haruhi managed not to drop anything.
"What's the matter?" Haruhi asked the poor kid. Shirou turned to look at her as she continued, "Ahh, you're surprised because of all the weirdos here? Well Suna-chan isn't that much of a weirdo. I also had a hard time understanding the atmosphere here and was quite confused at first."
I walked over to the two when I heard Shirou suddenly say, "Are you an okama?"
I stopped in mid-step. Holy snaps, this kid. I ran over quickly while making sure that the skirt I wore didn't fly up or something.
Tamaki got there before me and he covered Shirou's eyes as he said, "Ah, we'll take care of things here, so could you bring tea around?"
"Haruhi's really manly," Kaoru said as he and Hikaru floated over.
"Okay, manly Haruhi, let Shirou take care of the tea set," Hikaru said next. "This is part of his training."
The three laughed and a sign floated.
The Group That Insists Haruhi is Absolutely a Guy
Shirou removed Tamaki's had from his face and that's when I knew it was my cue to come in. Haruhi handed Shirou the tea set and that's when the worse happened. He dropped it.
"This is not my fault, okay? It's your fault for making me do this," He said.
"Huh?" Haruhi was awestruck.
"Haurhi," Kyoya appeared magically, "down another 100,000 yen."
"HUH?!" She shouted.
"Hey, let the okama do the trivial chores!" Shirou shouted. "Instead, hurry up and teach me how to please women already!"
"What's with the attitude, kid?" I asked as I stood behind him. "Did your mother not teach you to respect those older than you?"
Shirou turned around and faced me. I had my hands resting against my hips as I looked directly at him. "Don't be rude to Haruhi, alright."
Apparently, Tamaki too was saying something along the lines that I said. But the next thing made me smirk, which kinda freaked Shirou out.
"Quarantine this scoundrel!"
"Yes, sir!" Hikaru and Kaoru shouted.
I backed away from Shirou as a cage suddenly came down from the ceiling. Wait, what?!
I went to stand next to Haruhi as we looked at Shirou.
"What the hell is this?! Why did a steel cage drop on me?!"
"Yeah, really, why?" Haruhi and I said at the same time. "This is the music room, right?"
"Damn it! Let me out! Let me out!" Shirou shouted and began to climb on the steel bars. I just sweat dropped at the sight. "Is this something you do to your cute little apprentice?"
"Stay in there until you're calmer. I made you my apprentice since you really wanted to be a host, but I guess I was wrong about you," Tamaki said while he sipped on some instant coffee. Damn, they got addicted to that.
"I'm serious." I looked at Shirou as he kept on talking. "Really totally serious! I want to be a host, too!"
Now, I was getting worried as he dropped to his knees. "I don't have much time left…Teach me…You like girls…You like to see girls happy…that's why you're a host, right?! I beg you, please teach me! You're a genius at this, right, King?!"
Oh great, more king compliments that will make Tamaki's head bigger.
Genius?
"Well, you may be impertinent, but your desire to become a host seems to be sincere. Plus, you somewhat resemble me." Sparkles surrounded Tamaki as he said that.
"No he doesn't," I said.
"Poor boy…" Haurhi said as well.
"Then…you'll make me a host that can please girls?"
"Someone who cannot please ladies cannot be called a host. Very well. If you're willing to go that far, then think about how to make good use of your qualities," Tamaki said.
"Qualities?" Shirou asked confused.
"Our Ouran Host Club makes use of our individual features and answer our customers' needs as our basic strategy," Kyoya began. "Starting with the prince type, Tamaki," Tamaki then appeared with two white roses in his hand. "We have the wild type," Takashi appeared holding a dark blue rose. "The loli-shota type," Hunny appeared with Usa-chan, who held a pink rose. "The little devil type," Hikaru held a light blue rose while Kaoru held an orange one. "The cool type," Kyoya held a purple rose. "Among the many variations we pride ourselves of.
"Then, the honor student and natural rookie, Haruhi joined us."
"I'm of the natural type?" Haruhi asked confused.
"And lastly, the maternal type, Setsuna."
"Hi!" I smiled at Shirou while I stood next to Takashi and Hunny.
"So our formation is now pretty much perfect. I wonder, will we find more types?"
"Age wise, it'd be the shota type…" Hikaru said. "But then he'll overlap with Hunny-senpai."
Hunny cried as he heard this. Even Usa-chan had some tears in its beady eyes.
"Hunny, come here," I said as I held out my arms to him. He nodded his head as more tears came down and walked towards my open arms. Once he was near, I lifted him up and he attached his legs around my waist.
"Am I a nuisance already?"
"No, Hunny, your not." I tried to cheer the poor boy.
"Not good enough! Not good enough, I say!" Oh crap, she is still here.

"Like I said, this place is the music room, right?" Haruhi asked confused.
"I didn't know you host club members were this poor in analyzing characters. I'm quite disappointed," Renge said as she looked down upon us from her damn motor thingy.
"Well then, Renge-kun, how would you bring out his qualities?" Tamaki asked. "Hunny-senpai already owns the shota-type department."
"And that's where you're not good enough!" She shouted. "Listen to me! While it's true that we call girls who experience an unexplainable throbbing at the sight of younger boys and babyfaces 'shotacon' lovers, this kind of categorization is rather sloppy, and different preferences require even more delicate categorizing. Yes, while Haninozuka-senpai is of the more royal road, 'loli-shota' type, in his case, the direction he should aim for has to be that of the naughty type!"
'She could have just said that,' a rather large sweat drop formed on the back of my head.
Naughty Type the sign appeared in front of Shirou.
"Naughty type…" He said.
The cage suddenly lifted and I knew that from here I couldn't bear to watch what was going to happen. I looked at Hunny and said, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Un!" He said as he nodded his head. Then, I heard Renge scream out the word perfect and her weird laughter.
"Forget it, already!" I looked at Shirou who just shouted out of no where. "There's no way she'd become happy for this!"
"She?" I heard Haruhi said. Why did he say 'she'? Unless…
"Ahh, wait, Shirou! You still have more application techniques to learn now," Tamaki shouted. But it was too late since he ran off and slammed the door behind him.
"Young ones are not good enough yet, I guess. After all my coaching, he doesn't want to go on." And with that, Renge was out of the building.
"We even gave him a lesson and he didn't like it; what a selfish kid," Tamaki said.
"Sometimes people don't like training like that," I told him as I placed a calm Hunny on the ground. "By the way, did you notice?"
"Hmm?" Tamaki asked.
"I wonder what he meant by 'not having much time left'. And he also mentioned 'she'." Haruhi concluded from what I said.
"He's doing this for a specific girl," I finished off. Poor Shirou.
