Chapter 14 -- Of Tea Girls and Dancing Lessons

"She's walking in!" Demyx whispered.

At once the members of the host club got into their positions. Roxas was sitting at his usual table, calmly watching as the lavender-haired Fuu entered the building. Xaldin was busily cooking up some delicious desserts, occasionally adding copious amounts of alcohol in an attempt to soften the young tea girl up. Axel, Demyx, and Zexion were perched at various spots throughout the room, observing the plan from different angles. Zexion was equipped with his trusty clipboard to take notes, while Axel had a camera and Demyx was manning the stereo. Marluxia, who had just picked a fresh batch of orchids from his private garden, was more interested in arranging bouquets and other floral decorations.

"How are you today, Miss Fuu?" Roxas asked politely as the tea girl sat down across from him.

"Fine," she muttered. She still wore her usual emotionless expression.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Yes."

Once again Roxas was pouring her tea, and once again Fuu was observing the brand of the tea cup. For this time, Axel had switched tea cups, so they were using a different brand.

"Different brand," came the soft voice of the tea girl.

"Oh, yes, I suppose it is!" Roxas remarked. "I hear that your family owns a porcelain business."

Fuu looked up, shocked. "H-how did you know that?"

"I, uh, saw you there one time when I was passing by," Roxas quickly lied. Axel gave him a thumbs up from the corner of the room.

"Oh." Fuu then continued sipping her tea.

"There's nothing weird about having a passion for porcelain ware," assured Roxas. "People have lots of different obsessions and stuff, like fishing and flower arranging."

Marluxia, who had begun listening into the conversation, ran over to Axel and whispered, "See? My love of flowers isn't weird! Roxas-kun says so!"

"It is for a guy with pink hair," Zexion muttered.

"I know that!" Fuu suddenly yelled, responding to Roxas' comment. "That's not what's freaking me out!" Then she quickly covered her mouth and blushed.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't want to startle you!" Though Roxas was quite confused at Fuu's behavior. Then he remembered what Zexion had said about Fuu's secret admirer. "Is it because of someone you like?"

"IF I LIKED SOMEONE WHY WOULD I BE COMING HERE?" shouted the tea girl. Demyx gulped and hid behind a couch.

"S-sorry!" Roxas sighed. I really shouldn't be getting into her business...

Fuu took a large sip of tea and regained her calm composure. "No, I should apologize. I must be confusing you." She looked at Roxas and whispered, "I'm not sure if he likes me or not. He's been avoiding me a lot lately. So I came here."

"What did she say?" Axel asked Zexion, nudging the Schemer sharply in the side.

"I don't know. I'm just writing down what I observe. Leave me alone."

"Demyx, turn that freaking music down!" ordered the red-head. However, Demyx was still paralyzed in fear of the tea girl's wrath.

Then they heard Fuu's voice say, "Thank you for your time, Roxas."

"The pleasure is all mine! Come back again!" Roxas said with his charming voice.

After the tea girl left, everyone rushed up to Number XIII and begged to know what had happened.

"I think it has something to do with her secret admirer," Roxas commented. "She should solve that on her own, though. We shouldn't be intruding --"

"Okay, Host Club, listen up!" Axel shouted, interrupting Roxas. "We're going to help bring the tea girl together with her secret admirer!"

"But we don't even know who the secret admirer is!" Demyx whined. He didn't want to see the scary tea girl ever again.

"I have a plan to help us find out!" Axel paused to increase the dramatic tension. "We, the Organization Host Club, will host a ball right here in Twilight Town!"

"WHAT?!" Roxas sighed. A ball would take more time away from his training, which he had been neglecting so much lately due to his host club duties.

"Number VIII, let me remind you that our last venture nearly used up all of our reserved funding," Zexion muttered. "How will we pay for a ball?"

"We'll have enough, Zexy-kun! You worry too much!" Axel grinned. "Marly is in charge of decorating, Xaldin is in charge of refreshments, and Demmy-chan and my daughter will advertise. Demmy-chan can also do the music, if he wants."

Roxas cringed at once again being called "my daughter." Demyx jumped up and cheered.

"What will you do, Number VIII?" Zexion asked in an irritated tone.

"Ah, Zexy-kun, you can order new outfits for us!" Axel ordered, ignoring the question. "Make them snappy to accentuate our elegance! The ball will be in two days!" And with that, the host club's king had conjured up yet another plan in which he had little involvement.

"Come on, Roxas-kun! Let's make posters to advertise!" Demyx squealed as he grabbed Roxas' shoulder. Demyx was just excited because he could do the music for the ball.

The next day, everyone assembled in the Break Room That Never Was to get dancing lessons from none other than Namine herself.

"I enjoy all types of artistic expression, not just drawing!" Namine explained. "Now, first we're going to try waltzing. Of course, we'll need to pair up. One of you needs to be the girl and the other is the boy."

"I refuse to be the girl," Marluxia protested as Axel began to open his mouth.

Demyx was paired with Xaldin, Marluxia with Zexion, and Axel with Roxas.

"Since you're shorter, and you're my daughter, you can be the--"

"Axel has happily volunteered to be the girl in this pair," Roxas shouted to Namine.

"Excellent!" commented the fangirl. "Now, the boy holds out one hand and puts his other hand on the girl's waist. Then the girl puts her, or in this case his, hand in the boy's outstretched hand and would normally hold the end of her dress in the other."

The host club members awkwardly got into position.

"Remind me to kill the red-head after this is all finished," Zexion muttered to Marluxia.

"Then you step like this: 1-2-3 1-2-3..." Namine demonstrated with Roxas. The other members copied the steps, and soon the Organization Host Club could dance as well as the Ouran Host Club. (Tamaki: NO ONE dances better than me! What are you talking about?)

"Okay, does everyone have it now?" asked the fangirl after they had been practicing for over an hour.

"Yeah, more or less..."

"Great! I shall see you all there, then! Good luck!" Namine then returned to her room in the Castle.

"You mean she's going to the ball, too?" Roxas shouted.

"Well, it was the only way I could get her to come in and teach us," Zexion replied.

"Just so long as she stays with Roxy-kun the whole time," Marluxia mumbled, shuddering at the thought of the fangirl's previous obsession with him.

"All right, everyone! The ball is tomorrow night at 8:00! I expect to see everyone there looking their best!" Axel ordered. "This will be a fun time!"

"And we'll find out who the tea girl's secret admirer is!" Demyx exclaimed.
