Hi hi~
I'm gonna try to get this up as soon as possible. I have an eighth grade shadow tomorrow~ Excitement!
And the winner for Renge is… TETO KASANE :3
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Vocaloid. I don't own Ouran HSHC. I don't own a 3DS. I don't own the new Animal Crossing game for 3DS that hasn't even come out in Japan yet. I don't own the new Super Smash Brothers Game that hasn't come out yet.
Basically, I don't own shit.
Paris, France. ? POV
I sat in my room with the lights off, blipping through (well, whaddya know, apparently blipping is a word! Thanks, Spell-check!) my choices on the TV screen. Miyabi-kun had told me to go to the classroom after school, so I decided to choose that option…
My character entered the classroom and I held my breath as I saw my dream prince charming appear on the screen.
"I love you," he said, "I think about nothing but you. Will you accept my feelings?"
A black box appeared on the screen, covering up my love's head. One option read "It's not possible… now…" and the other "I'm so happy… Miyabi-kun."
"I'm so happy, Miyabi-kun," I mumbled as I chose the latter.
"My lady," one of the maids called out from the hall. "Your brother has returned."
I ignored her and continued to talk to Miyabi-kun~
"My lady?"
The door opened and I heard my brother's voice, "Teto?" he asked. He saw what I was doing and sighed. "You really like playing video games, huh, Teto-chan?"
"Is that so wrong?" I asked softly, still absorbed in the game.
"No, not at all," my brother answered. "I want you to live your life freely and easily. I'll let you have whatever you want. I've always promised you that."
"I see," I answered quietly.

"So Ted, how was your business trip to Tokyo?" I asked, putting some margarine on my French bread.
"It went well," he answered, spreading butter on his bread, "Ah yes," he added, pulling a picture out of his pocket. "I was eating with my business associate, Hiyama-san's, family last week. They have a son who's in high school, just like you!" he said cheerily.
I took the picture and gasped. The boy… the boy with glasses…
Miyabi-kun!
"Onii-sama…" I said quietly.
"Hm?" Ted asked with bread in his mouth.
I hit my fist on the table and stood up. "Onii-sama, I am going to marry this boy!" I shouted.
"Wh-What?" Ted choked on his bread.
"Don't forget, you promised I could have whatever I want~" I sang, running to pack my luggage.
"H-Hey, Teto-chan!" Ted called as I ran past him with my suitcase in tow.
"Oh, wait for me, my prince!" I cooed, running downstairs.
The plane left about five seconds later and I could barely hear Ted calling me over my excitement.

Luka POV
I, surprisingly enough, had survived the physical exams. Yatta.
And now, for some reason, we've changed the theme periodically from Tropical Humid Sticky Land to Hot Guys Wearing Kimonos. Therefore, all the hot guys are wearing kimonos. And Rin.
Oh, and just so we're clear on the time line, it's Wednesday. And the Ball is Friday.
"Gakupo-kun, why are you so beautiful?" a girl asked, a hopeful look in her eyes.
What the hell was she expecting him to say?
"So that I can stay in your eyes every second I can…" Gakupo answered smoothly.
"Why is your voice so mellow?" another girl asked.
What did these girls expect from him?
"So that my feelings can reach the depths of your heart…" Gakupo purred.
"Why are you looking at me with such watery eyes?"
He's looking at who with what now?
"Because your fresh smiling face floods the fountain in my heart…" Gakupo finished, anime roses romantically bordering his bishie face.
Damn bishie face.
"Gakupo-kun…" the girls swooned.
"You two did wear the same kimonos after all!" Neru said cheerily at Rin and Len's table.
"All the kimonos the Host Club is wearing today were designed by our mother," Len chirped, "We're taking orders if you want."
"Our grandmother was the one who put them on for us, though," Rin said with a smile on her face.
"And of course, it's my duty to take them off, right, Rin?" Len asked seductively, his face dangerously close to his sister's.
"Len…" Rin said with tears in her eyes, "Saying that in front of all these other girls makes me embarrassed…"
Haku and Neru squealed and Neru took a few pictures on her cell phone.
"Fooling around again…" I sighed.
"Lulu-chan, Lulu-chan!" Piko ran up to me and hugged me, crying. "I don't know how but I lost one of my slippers!"
"Weren't you wearing it just now?" I asked, trying to remain calm.
"Piko."
Kaito walked up and lifted Piko from my arms and onto the ground. He held up a slipper. "You dropped it on the way in."
"Kaito!" Piko wailed, hugging Kaito now.
I swear, I will never understand those two…
"Luki, you have another customer," Kiyoteru said across from me. "Lately, your customer flow has become awfully steady, hasn't it? Keep it up, and you may pay off your debt plus interest! Of course, the rental fee on that kimono is nothing to sneeze at…"
He's like some tax collector from Hell…
"Kiyoteru-sama!" one of Kiyoteru's customers cooed, "Your kimono look is so wonderful."
"Is the new photo collection for the Host Club coming out soon?"
"I want to see it!"
"Wait, photo collection?" I asked, puzzled.
"Oh," Kiyoteru said, "You see, the moments that we have here in the Host Club are fleeting, and will never happen more than once. In order to fulfill the needs of our fans, I have created photo books of the different hosts," he said, holding up four different books with pictures on them. "We also started doing online auctions, and selling of other Host Club memorabilia. See, look. Your personal photos are very popular."
"My hoo-hah?" I asked, looking at the laptop. Sure enough, profile pictures of me tutoring Miku were selling for quite a bit of Yen.
"When did you take these! Or any photos for that matter?"
"They're only amateur hidden camera shots. But if you have any objections, then you can bear the expenses yourself. From the selling of all this merchandise, the Host Club can afford the costumes and food. And like I said earlier, that kimono you're wearing is worth quite a bit of money."
"Ugh," I moaned.
"I'm currently looking for goods with more of an impact. Sales have been satisfactory though, so I shouldn't be complaining~" he said, walking back over to his customers.
"Luki!" Gakupo called. "If you'd like, I made a photo collection that you can have!" he handed me a few photos. "See, it's the King Edition!"
"Gakupo-senpai, I don't want pictures of you," I said, shoving them back in his face.
It was then that I noticed the girl standing half-hidden by the door. She was wearing the traditional yellow dress, but I couldn't say I recognized her. She had two pink pigtails that curled and looked like drills.
Gakupo saw me staring and directed his eyes to match my gaze. "Ah, looks like we have a new customer?" he said, smiling.
Rin and Len, obviously getting bored, took the chance to entertain themselves.
"What's the matter?" Len asked, appearing beside the girl with a seductive look. "Come on in," he offered her a rose.
"Yes, just watching is boring," added Rin, her hair tied in a ponytail so that she looked exactly like Len.
"Come now~" they both cooed.
"Umm…" the girl muttered.
"Now, you two, I've always told you to be courteous to our first time customers!" Gakupo scolded. He turned around and gave the girl a classic Gakupo-King-Bishounen-Rose-Sparkle Attack. "Now, don't be afraid, Princess…" he reached out to touch her hand.
"Welcome to the Vocaloid Host—"
"NO! Don't touch me, you fake!" the girl yelled, punching Gakupo into the wall.
We all just stared at her. Nobody besides me had ever directly criticized Gakupo's method of picking up girls.
"Me… a fake?" Gakupo asked, holding his face where the girl had punched him.
"Yes, a fake!" she pointed at the boy in question, "I refuse to believe that someone as incompetent as you is the prince character of this host club!"
Gakupo backed up, intimidated, as the girl continued passionately.
"A prince character does not spread his love around so easily! Why do you look like an idiot?"
One.
"You're nothing but a stupid narcissist!"
Two.
"You're incompetent!"
Three.
"You're disgusting!"
Four.
"The worst!"
By the end, Gakupo was trembling on the floor in shock.
"She's got you there, Tono," Rin and Len snickered.
"Could you be…" Kiyoteru started vaguely.
The girl took on a whole new look when she saw Kiyoteru. "Kiyoteru-sama!" she called, running over Gakupo and into his arms. "I've wanted to see you so much! My one and only prince charming~" she sighed.
"Your hoo-hah?" Len, Rin and I asked in sync.
Tadashi ikemen gentei... (I'll give you a strawberry white-chocolate muffin if you can guess what song this is from! Hint: It's the last line.)
"Kiyoteru-senpai's fiancée?" Rin and Len repeated.
"Indeed. My name is Teto Kasane. I'll be transferring into Class 1-A starting tomorrow," Teto responded cheerfully.
"Hey, why's the King huddled in the corner?" Len asked.
"Because Mommy cheated on Daddy~" Rin replied.
"I'm not sure I feel comfortable having a husband and three kids as a sixteen-year-old high school student," Kiyoteru said.
"It was love at first sight for me!" Teto continued. "The way he admired those flowers when he thought nobody was looking..."
"What?" Len asked.
"…And when he took in that kitten that had been abandoned in the rain…"
"What?" Rin asked.
"He's a person that is always considerate to others and never asks for anything in return…"
"What?" Kaito asked.
"…He likes solitude, but in fact sometimes he gets lonely!"
"NO no no no no no no no," the whole Host Club said in unison. (With the exception of Kiyoteru.)
"Maybe, you have the wrong person?" I suggested.
"No! My eyes are never wrong!" Teto argued. "He's the heart throb from the dating sim game Ukidoki Memorial! He looks exactly like Miyabi Ichijo-kun!"
Everybody froze where they were.
"Uki?" I asked.
"Doki?" Piko asked.
"Otaku!" Gakupo yelled.
"She's an otaku!" Len shouted.
Kaito remained silent.
"This is the first time I've ever seen one!" Rin shouted.
"I get it now," Kiyoteru said. "You're in love with the character. You're projecting that love onto me, and it's twisted itself into this situation."
"So, she made it up. You're not really her fiancé?" Gakupo asked, peeking at him from behind the couch.
"Well no, I don't recall ever asking for her hand in marriage," Kiyoteru said bluntly. "This is the first time I've even met the girl."
You could've said so earlier…
"So I hear you're in charge of managing the Host Club, Kiyoteru-sama~" Teto said, sitting on the couch.
"That's right, Kiyo-chan is our director!" Piko said gleefully.
"You're the club's director? That's perfect! I've always wanted to be the face of a business~"
"We're just a host club," Len and Rin said flatly.
"I've made up my mind!" Teto said, ignoring them. From this day forth, I'm the manager of this Host Club!"
"No way," Rin and Len intervened.
"Why not?" Teto asked, her cheeks puffing out in frustration.
"We have an important event on Friday, and we can't afford you butting in."
"Then I'll help! Kiyoteru-sama!"
"Um, listen, Kiyoteru…" Gakupo said, a worried look on his face.
Kiyoteru smiled, "Kasane-san is the daughter of an important Hiyama family client. So please be polite and try not to offend her, alright?"
Gakupo ducked his head down on the head of the couch.
"Well, boys, I can't wait to work with you!" Teto said with a huge smile.
Aaaww, shit just got real. X3
Sorry to people who wanted Teto to be Kirimi, but I thought that she'd make a really good Renge… so I think Nekozawa is gonna be either Yuuma or Leon.
QOTC: Stella Hoshine as Luka's mom? TELL ME. Oh, and if not her, then who? It's times like these when you realize your sufficient lack of Vocaloids and UTAUs.
If you press the button, there will be cake.
