*Chapter 4*
A Few Days Later……………………………..
"Tamaki-kun, Tamaki-kun," a girl sighed. "Why are you so beautiful?"
"Because I want to catch your eye, even if only a moment longer."
"Why is your voice so sad?" another girl asked.
"So that my feelings can reach the bottom of your heart."
"Why are you looking at us with such moist eyes?"
"Because your beauty is making my heart overflow," Tamaki said, smiling sadly at the girls, with tears in his eyes, and the girls, who had been breathless, squealed. Haruhi frowned, and looked over at the twins. Kaoru had sprouted tears in his eyes, too.
"What nonsense," she told Akira, who looked up, dazed.
"What?" she said, confused. Her eyes flew past the room. "Oh. They're probably using-"
Suddenly, some girls squealed,
"Haruhi-kun, you look like a girl in that kimono!"
"Ah? Oh, yeah, I suppose," Haruhi smiled, and then looked back over to Akira, but she was gone.
"I need a break," Akira groaned to herself.
"Not while the guests are still here," a voice replied smoothly, and Akira snapped her eyes open.
"I wasn't talking to you, Ootori," she said, without looking up. "Talking to you gives me a freaking migraine anyway, so shut up."
Kyoya raised his eyebrows. Just then, when Akira had been talking to Haruhi, she seemed rather dazed, though friendlier. Maybe she does need a break, Kyoya sighed, and was just about to let Akira off for 15 minutes, when Haruhi bumped into Hikaru, and a bottle of fake tears fell out of his sleeve. Akira went over to pick it up.
"As I was going to say, they're probably using fake tears," Akira said, staring at the tiny bottle.
"It's an essential to hosting," Hikaru shrugged, and Kaoru handed Haruhi a little box of candy.
"Here you go, Haruhi," he said. Haruhi stared at it.
"Do you like candies, Haruhi?" a girl asked, and she smiled.
"No," Haruhi said. "I was just thinking how this would be a nice present to my mother."
The girls started squealing with delight, and Tamaki started piling Haruhi's hands with candies, when Akira noticed a girl standing by the doorway.
"New girl, Tamaki," she said curtly, and the twins and Tamaki zipped over to the door.
"Come on now," Hikaru started.
"Don't be shy," Kaoru finished, and Tamaki pushed them aside.
"Be more courteous, gentlemen," Tamaki chided, and then made a dazzling smile at the new girl. She was quiet, and then,
"NO! DON'T TOUCH ME YOU PHONY!" she cried, shoving Tamaki away.
Eh????!?!!! All the Host Club members thought.
"P-p-p-p-phony?" Tamaki spluttered, and the enraged girl shouted on.
"YES! PHONY! I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HOW YOU CAN TURN OUT TO BE THE PRINCE FIGURE OF THIS HOST CLUB! YOU'RE SO STUPID! A DIM-WITTED NARCISSIST! IMCOMPETENT! MEDIOCRE!"
Tamaki acted like he was getting hit by an arrow as each insult passed, and he slowly started falling down.
"It's the new one-man slow motion technique!" the twins exclaimed. Then the girl saw Kyoya for the first time.
"KYOYA-SAMA!" she shrieked, and jumped at Kyoya.
Well, Akira thought wickedly, while massaging her head. This is my idea of fun.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Hoshakuji Renge!" the girl introduced herself brightly. All of the guests had disappeared, and Tamaki had settled back into his emo corner. "I'm Kyoya-sama's fiancée!"
"Fi-" Haruhi choked.
"An-" Hikaru shouted.
"Cee?" Kaoru gasped, and Renge nodded. "I'm transferring to Class 1-A starting tomorrow!" she continued, smiling at them.
"Tamaki-senpai looks mad…" Haruhi murmured, looking at the sulking figure.
"That's probably because Mommy was keeping a secret from Daddy," Kaoru remarked.
"It's love at first sight!" Renge sighed, getting the other members' attention again. "Like how you were taking care of those plants in your backyard, and that lost kitten you took in!" they all stared at her.
"… Are you sure you have the right Kyoya Ootori?" Haruhi asked seriously.
"Of course!" Renge snapped. "He's the only one that's so kind… and…" she continued rambling on, while everyone wondered who the heck she was really talking about. Suddenly, Akira said.
"She's an otaku." Everyone's heads, including Tamaki's swirled around to look at Akira, who was sitting down on a chair, one hand in front of her face. Tonelessly, she continued,
"There's a similar Host Club to us on this love simulation game, called the Uki-doki Memorial, and this guy in it, Ichijo Miyabi, is similar to Kyoya, because he has dark hair and wears glasses." Renge nodded in confirmation with all of those facts, and the twins stared at her with new eyes.
"An otaku!" they both gasped. "A real live otaku!"
Kyoya adjusted his glasses.
"So she's gone delusional enough to make that Ichijo Miyabi character me, and believe that we're engaged?" he said calmly, and the twins, Haruhi, and Tamaki looked over at him.
"You mean…" Kaoru started.
"You're not engaged?" Hikaru finished.
"Of course not, I've never met her before in my life," Kyoya replied, and the four clueless dotes thought, 'Well, you could've told us before…'
"I got it!" Renge suddenly cried. She snapped her fingers, exactly like Tamaki would do.
"From today on, I'm going be the Host Club's lady manager!"
While everyone stared at her blankly, Akira buried her face in her hands and thought.
Why do I have to go through living hell, again?
*The next day*
"You know, this isn't such a bad idea, having a lady manager," Tamaki said seriously.
"Why, exactly?" the twins asked in unison.
"Well, Renge-chan is in Haruhi's class right? This is the perfect time for Haruhi to start becoming more like a girl! While you twins," he added, pointing at them. "Are no good for Haruhi at all!"
At that moment, Renge came in with a bag of cookies, and Tamaki immediately zipped over.
"Are those cookies to soothe this King's heart?" he asked, and Renge bluntly replied.
"They're not for you, phony prince." She walked over to Kyoya, ignoring the crumbling Tamaki and started gushing over him again. "Oh, I'll know what you are going to say, Kyoya-sama…"
"These are burnt," Honey said, biting into the cookie he stole, and Mori quickly reached for it.
"Don't eat those, Mitsukuni, they're bad for you."
Kyoya watched as a Medusa-like Renge chase Mori and Honey around the room, and the twins bug Tamaki by flirting with Haruhi. He frowned.
"Where's Akira?" he asked, and everyone froze mid-step.
"Tsk! Ditching on the job, how ungraceful," Renge said, and Tamaki and the twins nervously look around.
"Renge-chan," the twins whispered. "You might not want to speak so badly about Akira." And Renge scoffed.
"If he's lazing on the job, then that's just an incompetent-," she started to say, but felt the presence of someone behind her, with a very dark aura. Gulping, she turned around to see Akira, whose face was calm, but the aura surrounding her clearly said: One more word, and you're dead. Seeing that everyone got the message, Akira went over, sat down, and closed her eyes.
"Takashi, doesn't Aki-chan seem a bit more in a bad mood?" Honey whispered to his friend.
"Ah."
Renge gazed after Akira thoughtfully, when Honey walked up to her.
"Renge-chan, would you like some milk?" Renge was silent, but she finally spoke up.
"It's all to TEPID!" she said, her voice getting louder. Everyone jumped, except for Kyoya and Akira.
"What?" Tamaki said.
"I'm changing all of you! You're all going to have a 'dark side'! Starting with you!" she shouted, pointing at Honey, who jumped onto Mori. "You're going to be a thug! As for your friend, he's a child-hood friend flunkie! The twins are going to be basketball players, in their own little world, Haruhi is a bullied transfer student, and YOU!" she cried, pointing at Tamaki, who jumped 10 feet in the air. "A lonesome prince!"
Everyone looked shocked at their new covers, while Renge continued to talk. "Kyoya-sama is perfect, of course, and Akira-sa-,"
"Akira. Is going to kill. Each and every one of you. If you don't. Shut. The Hell. Up," came the voice from the chair, and Renge beamed at her.
"He's perfect, too! He already has a dark side," she whispered.
The twins pulled Kyoya over as Tamaki paced around the room, trying out his new role.
"Do we really have to-," Kaoru started, but Kyoya said impatiently,
"His Highness seems really enthusiastic about it," he said, pointing at Tamaki, who was trying out different poses for Renge. "Let's just try it out for now."
*Hours Later*
"Ootori…" Akira said, watching Renge instruct the other "un-perfect" Host Club members in their video. "How'd it go from… characteristics, to a movie shoot?" Kyoya shrugged.
"She pulled that crew over from Hollywood, apparently."
Akira felt herself getting more and more tired as she watched the ridiculous acting go by. Finally, she stood up and decided she just needed to walk it off. As she turned the corner of the building, however, she saw a commotion.
"Renge-chan," Haruhi started saying, but Renge paid no attention to her as she pulled along two mean looking boys. Suddenly, one of the boys lashed out, and Renge screamed.
BANG!
"Ouch…." Akira muttered to herself. Renge was about to hit some tools, when Haruhi grabbed her, and then Akira grabbed Haruhi. She peeled herself off the wall and shook her head, wondering why she was dizzy and why she had even done that out of sheer instinct. "Are you okay, Haruhi?" Haruhi looked up, a contact in her eye, and was about to reply, as the other Host Club members came rushing by the corner. Thinking that the contact in Haruhi's eye was really a tear, the enraged Tamaki was about to beat the two boys into a pulp, when Akira said smoothly,
"Suoh, it wasn't their fault, it was just a miscommunication thing," she said, just as Kyoya slammed a rock against the cameraman's lenses.
"We can't have any Host Club members being recorded shown in violence," Kyoya stated. "I'm extremely disappointed in the fact that you're acting like such a pest. Renge fell to her knees and started blubbering out some nonsense, and Akira, who was getting tired of it, said.
"Renge-chan, you can't just judge someone on their looks, or what people say about them, you have to learn about them personally first," she gasped, feeling light-headed. Not noticing the fact that Renge was looking at her interestedly, Akira watched Tamaki swoon over Haruhi dazedly until a burning pain jabbed her side, and the world went black.
Okay then, another cliffhanger… I tend to do that a lot, don't I? Hoped you liked it~
