Hey, I am so sorry I haven't updated in so long.

I know it was only one but it made me happy enough to continue. Thanks for the review btw. Since I'm new here I didn't think anyone would want to read them. So, I hate to do this but if you review more the quicker I would update. It lets me know that you enjoy the story and I'm not just writing for no reason. So please give me more likes, reviews, and suggestions so I would know what you would like to read about. Please excuse my rant and on with the story. I own nothing but my OC's.
Chapter 8
So just to catch you up to speed. Tamaki got dumped. Haruhi has an admirer. Tamaki's upset and is pouting in a corner eating cup ramen. I want some cup ramen. Just as I was about to step away from the table, Hikaru called out to Tamaki.
"Hey boss, why don't you stop eating that commoners ramen and come help us with the party planning?"
"Does it really bother you that Princess Kasuki has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Kaoru asked him.
'Aw, Tamaki got dumped...Oh well.' I looked at him. He's eating ramen like nobody's business.'But you can't share!' I silently glared at him but he was to busy eating to notice. I felt someone nudge me. I looked to my right and saw Claire giving me a knowing smile. I gave her the puppy-dog eyes while jutting out my bottom lip. I'm basically saying 'GET ME SOME DAMN FOOD,PLEASE.' She just chuckled silently and turned away. I raised my eyebrows at her.'Fine, then I'll accidentally kick you out of bed tonight. See how you'll like waking up on the floor.' I smirked and tuned back in. My face fell when I heard Kyoya say illness.
"Illness?"Haruhi asked.
"What illness? Is she okay?"Claire and I questioned in unison.
Hikaru and Kaoru stood behind Kyoya with a blank face as they said...
"The host hopping disease,"Hikaru started,
"A.K.A the-never-the-same-boy-twice disease." Kaoru finished.
I made the biggest 'WTF' ever and I'm pretty sure Claire did the same. I thought it was a real sickness. But it was just something these guys made up. It's always something new with these boys so this doesn't even surprise me anymore.
"Usually when our guest choose a favorite host they stay with them, but Princess Kanako has been known to change her host frequently."Kyoya explained.
Honey walked up and stood next to me. I smiled at him and put my arm around his shoulder. He smiled up at me and then chimed in with what Kyoya said.
"That's right because before she chose you she was with Tama-chan."
At this Haruhi put on a blank face of her own. Claire and I, we just smirked at each other.
"So he's upset that I took her from him."
"No, he's upset because he got dumped."we had innocent smiles on our face as we said this. I looked at the twins and saw they were laughing at this. I even saw Kyoya bite back a smile.
Tamaki jumped in front of us scaring the shit out of me and Honey. I pulled honey closer to me and tried to calm down my rapid heart beat.
"Shut up, I couldn't care less!"
He stood back and pointed a finger at her. "I'm running out of patience. Haruhi it's time you start dressing like a girl."
Haruhi just sweatdropped at this while Claire and I raised our eyebrows at him. I turned to Claire with a face that said 'He does know that if she gets found out she won't be apart of the club anymore?' she responded back with a shrug and shaking her head. I turned Tamaki again as he was still freaking out.
"I don't understand how you're so popular with the ladies,when you yourself are a lady! No one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here."
Hikaru, who now stood behind Tamaki, spoke up."She opted out of taking gym classes."
"And the attendance numbers are all mixed together so no one can tell."
I nodded my head at this as Tamaki ran off somewhere. He reappeared not even a second later with a chest with "Kings things" written on the side. He threw the lid open and started rummaging through it while "reprimanding" Haruhi.
"That's enough Haruhi,now listen to daddy and go back to the way you were." He then produced a picture of Haruhi in a middle school uniform with longer hair.
"DON'T GO BLOWING UP MY PICTURES WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST!"
Somehow the picture of Haruhi ended up on the wall as all the guys stood around it.
"The more I look at this picture, the more amazed I am. How could this possibly become that?" Hikaru said.
Well damn, he didn't have to say it like that. But I have to admit I'm curious too. And one glance at Claire says she is too.
We all turned to Haruhi looking for an explanation.
"The day before school started, one of the kids in my neighborhood got gum in my hair. Gum is a pain to get out so I decided to cut it all off. I didn't care if I looked like a dude or not."
Well that explains it. But I would never cut my hair. I would fight like hell to get that gum out. Even if It took hours.
"A lady should never refer to herself as a dude! Momma, Haruhi's using those dirty boy words again!" Tamaki then started crying on the floor.
'Who the hell is momma?'Claire and I looked at each other with the same confused look on our face.
"I'm sorry but who's momma?" 'Thank you,Kaoru for asking for me.'
"Based on the clubs position I assume it's me."Kyoya said.
I laughed a little at that causing Kyoya to glare at me. I just smiled, winked, and blew him a kiss. He quickly turned away. I smiled as I noticed a faint pink color on his cheeks. 'Yay,I made the shadow king blush.' I turned back to Tamaki ignoring the smirk aimed at me from my twin.
Haruhi rolled her eyes."Look, I don't see why you're crying. I'm working as a host to pay back more of my debt, even the twins are helping me. I would never be able to pay it back if I'm just an errand boy."
"She has a point." Claire and I said.
"I hate to change the subject but do any of you have formal dancing experience? You'll need it at the party." Hikaru just had to point that out.
Haruhi,Claire and I all grew nervous at this.
Haruhi gave a nervous laugh and her voice was cracking as she said, "No, but the party doesn't have anything to do with my quota. I'm not interested in formal events, so if I could be excused."
"Yeah, I don't have any formal dancing experience either and I'd rather not go to any social events, so if I could be excused too that would be great." I walked up behind Haruhi as I said this and clasped my hands together. Claire who stood next to me spoke up too.
"I don't have any dancing experience and I'd rather not be the only girl in the host club going so I would like to be excused as well." She looped her arm with mine as she said this.
Tamaki bounced back into his gentleman persona as he declined what we said. "Definitely not. A refined gentlemen must know how to dance. If you want to live the life of a host that badly your going to have to show us how far your willing to go Haruhi. I order you to master dancing the waltz in one week and you will demonstrate it for us at the party or I'll tell the entire school that your a girl." Haruhi was sweating bullets at this point. 'Poor girl. But he didn't say we had to go so...' "And I'll knock you back down to errand boy."
Kyoya adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose causing them to glare. He also has that annoying smirk of his on his face."As for you two, you both must be present at the dance as well since your also apart of the club. And if your not in attendance well you too might just lose your scholarships."
I frowned.'Damn, I thought I was free.'
"Well damn." we both said.
*******TIME SKIP*******
At the moment, Haruhi was getting dancing lessons from Princess Kanako seeing as she volunteered. It was a mess. And I thought I had no rhythm. Haruhi put me to shame. Especially when she fell on her.
Behind them was a very cute sight. Takashi was spinning Honey around and they were both having fun. I think they're adorable. Honey was yelling out in joy while Takashi was holding on so he wouldn't get hurt. Sometimes, I feel like there closer than Jason and I was.
Other than that, both sets of twins were watching Tamaki pout in a corner. The brothers were in between Claire and I.
"Why so gloomy boss?" The Hitachiin twins asked.
"I think he's sad it's because he wants to dance with Haruhi." I said smirking.
"I think you're right big sis." Claire smirked back at me.
This time I knew Kyoya walked up to us. "Speaking of dancing, shouldn't you two be practicing as well?"
We both sighed and rolled our eyes with a submissive 'fine'.
"But whose gonna dance with us?" we looked between the boys standing in front of us.
I didn't even bother hiding my smile when Kaoru held out his hand to Claire. Her face went red but his was a faintly pink. I looked at Hikaru who was smirking slightly at the interaction. He noticed me looking and winked at me which I returned. I didn't notice Kyoya tense at the sight.
Claire gave a nervous smile and placed her hand in his. The pair then went to walked to a different corner of the room with Hikaru following. 'My baby has a crush!'
I looked up as Kyoya stood in front of me and held out his hand. "My lady."
I smirked at him and raised my eyebrow. "You're really gonna teach me to dance? I might step on your shoes."
He smirked back."You'll get better with me teaching you."
I couldn't help but smile and place my hand in his. I felt a people looking at us as we walked away. He led me to a secluded corner in the room where we wont be disturbed but where we could still see what was going on around us.
I looked up at him. I was wearing heels so that put me at 5'4 but him being 5'8 doesn't really make a difference. I was wearing a graphic tee with 'Lets's Party' written on it, black ripped skinny jeans, and 3 inch ankle shoes with gold studs on the heel along with a black beanie. I was wearing a black and gold arrow ring on my left middle finger along with black stud earrings. For make-up I wore red lipstick, mascara, and eye liner did into cat eyes.
He placed one of my hands on his shoulder and the other in his hand. Finally he placed his hand on my waist. It felt weird. It's been so long since a guy has touched me like this. So I was doing anything I could not to look at his face. I heard him chuckle lightly and before I could ask why, he placed his hand under my chin and lifted my face up so I was looking at him.
"Your supposed to look at your partner." He smiled at me. I smiled back looking into his brown eyes.
"The gentlemen is supposed to lead so all you have to do is follow me." I nodded and then he took the first step while I followed along. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
"You were right you are a good teacher." I smiled.
"Well, what kind of host would I be if I couldn't do a simple waltz?"He smiled back at me.
I'm not sure if his smile is real or not but I would like to think it is. We continued dancing for a few more minutes. I had a few mishaps and a few miss-steps here and there but he quickly corrected them.
"You're not as bad as I thought you'd be Miss Adachi."
I gave a dry chuckle. "Is that supposed to be a compliment Mister Ootori?"
He just smirked, stepped away, and bowed. "That will be all for today."
I honestly don't know why this disappointed me but I didn't let it show. I just smirked at him and said,"Alright, but you have to admit I'm the best damn student you've had."
"You were my only student." He blank faced me.
'Damn.'
"But that means there's no one worst then me." I pointed at him and stuck out my tongue.
He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose."I'll admit you did exceed my expectations."
I clapped my hands together, smiled,turned and walked away with a "That's all I wanted to know." tossed over my shoulder. I felt him looking at me as I left.
*******TIME SKIP*******
"Is my hair okay?" Claire asked me. 'Poor girls a nervous wreck.'
"You look gorgeous now stop worrying."
She nervously rung out her hands as if to shake off the nerves."I can't help it! Everyone's gonna be all dressed up looking fancy while I'm gonna try not fall flat on my face while dancing."
I walked up to her, my heels clacking on the floor as I went, and placed my hand on her shoulder and gave her my 'motherly gaze' as she likes to call it. "You're gonna do fine. You had Kaoru teach you and you've had uncle Akihiro teach you. You're gonna be just fine. Plus with how beautiful you look, you'll have the guys fawning over you." I smiled at her. She closed her eyes, took a breath, then opened them.
"Thanks for the pep talk sissy." she smiled at me.
I playfully rolled my eyes with a smile. "That's what big sisters are for. Besides we all know you really just want to impress Kaoru." I gave her a knowing smirk as she turned red.
She rolled her eyes back at me. "Well you're just trying to impress Kyoya."
I smiled and shook my head. "I'm not trying to impress anyone. I just like to look nice."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"What?"
"...That was the biggest load of B.S that came out of your mouth."
I couldn't help but laugh and a few seconds later she joined in. She just saw right through me. We stopped when we heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?" we called.
"Are you two done yet?The party's gone start soon." It was Hikaru.
"Yeah,we'll be right out." Claire yelled back.
I straightened out my dress. I was wearing a black dress that ended just above the knee with a silver bodice and it was strapless. My hair was done in soft curls down my back and it wasn't covering my eye. My make-up was simple, eye liner, light blush, and nude lip gloss. For shoes, I wore plain black 3 inch heels. For accessories, it was just a black heart ring on my middle finger, black heart stud earrings, and a black necklace with an oval shaped pendant.
Claire was wearing a white lace strapless dress that ended just above the knee. It had a sweet heart neck line and it looks amazing on her. She put her hair in soft curls and it was pulled over her right shoulder. It wasn't in her face either so her eye wasn't covered. For accessories, she had a diamond bracelet and diamond stud earrings. Her make-up was simple pink lip gloss, light pink blush, mascara, and eye. She also wore a pair of 3 inch white heels.
We nodded at each other letting the other know they looked okay. We then walked to the door and I opened it letting Claire through first.
"Sorry it took so long. We didn't mean to keep you waiting."we looked at everyone in the room as we apologized.
I looked up and noticed them staring at us.
After a few moments Honey broke the silence.
"Wow, you guys look great!"He beamed at us.
"Thank you, Honey. Your as handsome as ever."
"Thank you!"
"You two decided to dress differently this time?"Haruhi observed.
"Yep, we don't do it often but we decided to today."we said.
Tamaki walked up to us, grabbed one of our hands, and placed a kiss on it.'He's in prince mode.'
"You two look lovely." He gave us gentle smile.
We couldn't help but smile back."You look amazing as ever Prince Tamaki." He blushed a bit at this. I smirked internally at this. We made the Host Club's King blush. We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
It was Kyoya. If didn't know any better I would say he's annoyed. He pushed up his glasses causing them to glare."We should go. We wouldn't want to keep the guests waiting."
No one argued with that as we made our way to the door. We were out in the hall, I walked up to Kyoya and linked my arm with his. Claire did the same with Kaoru.
"You move quick don't you?" Kyoya didn't look at me as he said this. He didn't shove me away from him either so I took that as a good sign.
"As do you. I don't like to waste time.' I turned to look at him 'What kind of gentleman would turn down escorting a lady?"
He smile but didn't look at me. "I would never turn down a lovely lady such as yourself."
I looked down trying to hide the blush on my face.'Damn it, that was the first time he made me blush.' I looked back up at him and he was already looking at me. "You look gorgeous."
I smiled at him."Thank you, Kyoya."
He faced forward again so I did to. I hate to admit this but I actually felt giddy after he complimented me. Maybe my sisters right we do flirt, but its harmless. Besides he wants to learn about me and I want to learn about him. Its nothing serious.
"But I am looking forward to having the first dance with you C.J." Did I hear that right? I looked at him but he didn't look at me. He wants to dance with me, again? Even though he wasn't looking at me, I smiled at him anyway. I faced forward again still smiling. 'Maybe this dance won't be that bad.'
*******TIME SKIP*******
After Kyoya announced the reward and Tamaki added in a wink causing the fans to faint, I was about to go mingle with the guest when Kyoya mentioned a spread.
"A spread? With fancy tuna?" Haruhi had a faint blush on her face as she asked this. I guess she loves fish.
"Does this spread also have strawberry cheesecake?" I did my puppy-dog face as I asked this.
"Along with blueberry parfaits?" Claire did the puppy-dog eyes too.
What we said must have flipped a switch for the guys cause the all jumped into action all at once. Kyoya broke his pen. Tamaki jumped over the balcony. And the twins 'comforted' Claire and Haruhi. Honey hugged my waist and Mori put his hand on my shoulder. Tamaki started spouting something about making an order and Kyoya got his phone out.
I put my arm around Honey's shoulder and put my hand over Mori's. I'm pretty sure my face was red right about now. I looked at Haruhi and Claire and noticed their faces was red too. 'This is embarrassing.'
*******TIME SKIP*******
After that fiasco, we all separated and went off to dance with the guest. Except me, I was standing on the wall, drinking some punch and just looking around. Yes, I've had a few male guest ask me to dance but I turned them down. 'Did I really hear him say that or was I imagining it?' I looked down and sighed. I sat down my glass on an vacant table. I was gonna walk away but a voice from behind me stopped me.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting princess, I've had a few matters to take care of."
I turned around and faced him. "I was starting to think you forgot about me."
"I would never. Now' he held out his hand 'would like you to dance?"
I just placed my hand in his and let him drag me to the dance floor. We copied the steps we did from earlier this week. I still get this tingly feeling. The music started as did our dance. I let him guide me across the dance floor. I actually felt like I was floating.
"I think you've gotten better since our last practice."
"Well I did have a great teacher so..." I let my sentence trail off.
"Well I wouldn't let you embarrass the host club with you horrid dancing." 'Horrid dancing?Well I am a bad dancer so.'
I rolled my eyes at that "Oh please, you know you had fun dancing with me, otherwise you wouldn't have asked for the first dance."
He smirked "I can't argue with that."
After the song was over, he stepped back but he kept a hold of my hand. "Well I hope you enjoyed this dance,my lady."
He bowed and placed a small kiss on my hand causing the fangirls to give a deafening squeal. I jumped at this. I didn't notice we had an audience. Kyoya paid them no mind as he walked away.
"I ship C.J and Kyoya!"
"They would be a great couple!"
"I want those two to get together!"
Those are just some of things I heard them squeal. I rolled my eyes as I tried to make my way back to my corner. Before I could though someone grabbed me and threw me over their shoulder. I moved my body at an awkward angle and noticed it was Mori.
I let my body go limp as he carried me off somewhere. "Hello senpai."
"Hm."
"Let me guess, another one of Tamaki's plans."
I felt him nod. I wrapped my arms around his waist. I felt him stiffen slightly but he kept walking. "It's a force of habit to do this, I hope you don't mind."
He just shook his head. We walked for a few more minutes in silence. After a bit he entered music room 3 and sat me down. I smiled up at him."Thanks Mori." He nodded at me and left the room.
"You took your time."
I looked behind me and noticed the twins, Honey and Claire. Claire smirked as she walked up to me. "Were you up here the whole time?"
She nodded."Yep, we're gonna play dress up with Haruhi."
*******TIME SKIP*******
The twins set up a little prank for the night only using banana peels. Tamaki slipped pushing Haruhi into Kanako causing them to kiss. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed at this. This is what he wanted to avoid, but he only made it worse. Haruhi's first kiss was ruined, and it was in front of everyone. 'Poor girl.'
"Have either of you had your first kiss?" The twins asked us.
"Nope, and you two better not play any tricks." we narrowed our eyes at them. They just shrugged and grinned at us.
After everything was all said and done at the party everyone started to leave. It was only Claire, Honey, Mori, and I left. "Do you guys need a ride home?"Honey asked us.
"Actually, C.J and I were gonna call our driver."
"Thanks for the offer though." we smiled at them.
"Aw, come on, we could give you a ride home it would be fun! Please!" he grabbed our arms and gave us a pleading face.
We looked at each other and had a silent conversation.'Should we?' I asked her.
'I think we should, it could be fun.'
'I agree, plus they are our friends.'
We turned towards them smiled and nodded. Honey jumped and yelled in glee.
"Besides it would be fun to hang out with you two." I smiled at Mori.
"Hey, what if we get together this weekend and you two come to our house?"Claire suggested.
"That's a great idea! And Mori likes it too, right?" we turned to look at him. He nodded his head in agreement.
After that was said, we all headed to the door chatting about what we should do this upcoming weekend.
