here is the next chapter. School is coming up so all my writing will has left me.
If you don't know who owns this yet then you are a fool.
On the top floor of the south wing,
At the end of the hallway,
The doors open,
To a group of sports club team captains!
"Welcome!" All seven of them said in practiced unison.
Everyone was done up in some type of sports wear. The Twins had on blue and yellow Basketball uniforms with Kaoru bearing the number 16 on his while Hikaru had 61 on his. Tamaki was wearing a blue and yellow European football (soccer) uniform. Honey was in his Judo uniform and Mori in his kendo uniform while Kyoya had a Referee uniform on. (What else would he wear?) And Haruhi had a table tennis uniform on. As I stared at them I pushed the glasses up further onto my nose, thus 'de-glaring' them.
"So its sports cosplay today?" I asked flatly. My question went unanswered when the Host club saw me in the girl's uniform for Ouran Academy.
"Look Takashi, Stacy-chan is dressed like a girl!" Honey called as he climbed onto of Mori's shoulders.
"Yeah."
"I still can't believe you got Stacy in a girl's uniform Boss." Kaoru said.
"Yeah Boss. She didn't seem like the 'girly-girl' type." Hikaru followed with.
"But congrats on get into a dress!" They said together while giving Tamaki two thumbs-up. I grabbed Tamaki by the shoulder from behind.
"Tamaki, was this some sort of twisted plot to get me in a dress? 'Cuz if it is....Then I am going to kick. Your."
Kyoya stood of the side as Stacy threatened Tamaki for tricking her. He had to admit, the school uniform wasn't flattering on her.
"So Stacy," Hikaru slid to her left side.
"We've been wondering what your Zodiac sign is." Kaoru said as he slid to her right side.
"You will tell us won't you?"
"We are your friends, right?"
"Why does this matter to you? It's not like you'll need this information to live in the next ten years."
"Please~!"
"Oh fine. If you must know, I am two Zodiacs for starters."
"Two Zodiacs? That means that you were born when two Zodiacs where visible. So, which ones?"
"Torus and Gemini."
"So you are a Gemini." Kaoru speculated.
"Figures. We got a Gemini vibe from you." Hikaru announced.
"So does this mean that you are also a twin?"
"No. I'm a triplet."
"Identical..."
"...Or fraternal?"
"Fraternal. Other wise my brother would be a sister."
"So does that mean your older sister was first, you second and your younger brother was last?" They asked together.
"Yep." I was starting to lose interest in the conversation.
"So what's it like being the middle child?"
"No different from being the youngest. I'm the smallest, slowest, weakest, et cetera, et cetera." By now I had lost total interest in the conversation.
"Okay that enough idle chit-chat for now." Kyoya said clapping his hands together. "Guests will be coming soon and we need to get ready. Oh, and Stacy. You are going to have to give us some sort of payment for visiting the Host Club. Unless you'd like us to add it to Haruhi's debt."
He's like some heartless tax collector. Haruhi thought as she heard this.
"Kyoya," I said as I walked over to him. Standing on the tips of my toes I asked, "Is there a reason that the Host Club's picture books aren't for sale anymore?"
"What are you getting at?"
"Are the picture books not selling because you don't have any usable shots of the other Hosts from your hidden cameras?"
"So?"
"So I was wondering if you could use someone who knows there way around a camera."
"What type of camera?"
"A Canon Powershot SX10 IS. Memory stick included."
"And what makes you think that the Host Club needs a hired photographer?"
"The fact that you guys need money for cosplay which you pay for from the sale of promo items. Normally I would show you my best work, but my camera is over the Canadian border. But I can tell you I do have a flair for photography."
"Fine, but we'll have to go over some ground rules."
"Of course. I wouldn't want to over step my boundaries."
"Good. Now I you can't have guests in the shot."
"I understand completely. The focus is, of course, the Hosts."
"Also, the Host cannot be aware that you are taking pictures of them."
"Well of course I'm not going to tell them. Then they would do some goofy pose and ruin my shot. Not to mention I prefer taking covert shots."
"I see. And in turn for your work as the Club photographer?"
"I want to have priority service, just like your top customers. I will need the camera I mention and memory chip, just in case. And you are to not question how I do my work." Kyoya brought his hand to his chin to consider the offer.
"Alright, it's a deal." He said, finally holding out his hand.
"Now that's what I like to hear!" I said taking his hand to close the deal.
Is she just doing this to have an excuse to watch us all day? Haruhi thought to herself.
"So when do I get my camera?"
"I'll have it here for you by tomorrow. Is that alright with you?" Kyoya said, giving me an icy smile.
"Sure. No problems." Matching his smile with my own.
She like the Canadian version of Kyoya-senpai! The young maiden panicked.
"Stacy! Come over here for a minute." Tamaki said, waving his finger to beckon to me over to the chair where he was sitting.
"Yeah. What is it?" Standing up, the King took my hands in his and came out with his request.
"Will you tell me about Canada?" He voice was giddy and childish.
"You really want to know?"
"Yes. I want to know as much about Canada as possible."
"Well," I started while take the seat across from him. "Canada is like any other place. You can't really get to know it without first treading its soil. Canadians are proud and do not like to be compared to Americans. We are different from them and they are different from us. Let's see, what else. The Eastern provinces are more French have more culture than the West. But the West had lots of events like the Calgary Stampede. Also there is more open country side in the west due to the amount of farming that takes place. In Saskatchewan, most of the province is nothing but farm land....and right angles."
"Question. What kind of name is 'Sas-cat-yu-wan'?"
"Su-scat-chew-wan, is the type of name you get when....actually I don't know why it has that name. It just does. But don't go insulting it or me. It's my home province."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I wouldn't be surprised if some one thought it was some weird type of cheese or something. Now where was I?"
"The differences between the East and West."
"Ah yes. Well there are three parts to Canada. You see, from Manitoba to the West coast is, well the West. And from Ontario, eastward is, the East. Then, from the tops of Western Provinces is the Northern part of Canada. Also know as the Three Territories. They see the most snow fall and are cold for the longest period out of the year. But up North is where you see animals like Polar Bears, Caribou, and Snow Hares. But like I said before, the best way to get to know Canada is to go there for your self."
The Host Club is now open for business.
"Oh, Tamaki, you look so handsome in a football uniform*." Tamaki leaned into closer to the girl with one hand around her waist and the other touching the side of her face.
"My princess, there is not goal more worth my time, then to bring you happiness everyday of your life." The looked like a chocolate bar that had been left out sun all day, IE, melted, and the three other girls at the table all began to squeal with delight.
"Hey, are you actually going to talk to us?" Kaoru asked.
"Or are you just going to sit there and stare at Tamaki?" Hikaru also asked.
"Sorry guys. I was just wondering how on earth the girls cannot tell that that guy is completely full of it."
"You know, when you chose to sit with someone at the Host Club," Hika-chan started.
"It's a good idea to pay attention to them." Kao-chan finished.
"Yeah, yeah I'm sorry." I gave one more glance at the Host Club's King. "Do you guys want to mess with Tamaki as much as I do?"
"Sure." Kaoru said first.
"We've got nothing else to do."
"Hold it!" Renge said making her entrance, without her snipping stage for once. She too was in cosplay. Her hair was braided and had a white tennis outfit on.
"What is it?" The three of us said together. Renge leaned in close to me with dark, evil eyes.
"You're the Host Club's photographer, right?"
"Yeaaaah. So what?"
"I have a request for you!" She said with her excited voice.
"I'm sorry could you repeat that?" I said, rubbing my thumb against my middle and index fingers. Renge pulled out a 10 000 yen note and handed it to me.
"So what is this request of yours?" A large and evil grin, belonging to that of a demon grew across the French girl's as she whispered into my ear. After providing all of the details she pulled away.
"I see. That could be do-able."
*'Football' in Eastern Countries is soccer. And the closest thing they have to 'American Football' is Rugby.
Please tell me what you think. Also I need an opinion of what Tamaki says to his guests. I'm not sure if I'm that good so any in-put would be appreaciated.
