The Sisterly Type
Chapter 5:
Attack of the Lady Manager (1)
"Leila~!" The twins sang out as soon as she walked into the Host Club room.
"Yes~?" She sang back.
"You're awfully cheerful…"
"Did something happen to you?"
"Yes! I pranked one of my teachers with a glimmer spell and created an utter disaster!" She said, spinning around.
"Oh, well done!" The two boys said, holding up their thumbs, "But, now you have to wear a kimono."
"No." She said, losing her bubbly side.
"You have to! You're a part of the Host Club!" They whined.
"That reminds me… I'd like to quit the Host Cub." She said, sheepishly.
"What?!" Hikaru and Kaoru shrieked.
"Yeah… I'm not leaving today… I'm leaving after around about a week-ish." She said. "But, don't tell everyone else yet."
"We'll discuss this later, but for now…"
"Put on your kimono!" He finished, holding up a light blue and white kimono.
"Was this designed by Yuzuha Hitachiin, your mother?" She asked, taking it into her hands.
"Yes!" They answered, nodding their head. "We'll help you put it on!" They said, pushing her into the changing rooms.
"No!" She screamed, trying to push them out.
"Why? You're as flat as a board. It's not like we're going to see something we shouldn't." The boys said.
"I don't care about being flat; I actually like being flat. And, I just don't like getting changed around boys." Leilani said, starting to take off her tie.
"We want to make sure…" Hikaru whined first.
"That the kimono fits you." Kaoru whined second.
"Fine. But if you try anything… I will cut you throat open." Leilani said with an all-too-innocent smile.
They sweat-dropped with a shiver before unbuttoning her shirt. Rapidly, they had her changed and fitted into the light blue, dark blue, pink and white kimono. And the result was… stunning. Part of the blue was bright and neon blue, that kind of matched her eyes. Her hair was held up in a Japanese bun, leaving out her full bangs, and it was decorated with an elegant flower clip.
"Perfect!" The twins chorused.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, Leilani, are you done?" Kyoya asked through the curtains.
"Hai, Hai, coming!" Leilani said.
"Let's go!" The boys said, hooking their arms together in order to annoy Tamaki.
They dashed out of the changing rooms and stopped in front of the 'King', who started to blush when he saw Leilani.
"G-Get away from t-those shady twins." He said, taking her arm to pull her closer.
She smirked at the twins, silently celebrating their achievement.
"Haruuu, you look so cute!" Leilani squealed, hugging the shorter girl.
"Lei-La-Ni… Stop…" Haruhi choked out with a cough.
"Sorry." She blew green energy onto her to stop her from coughing.
"Thanks." She whispered before going over to her position.
"Tamaki-Kun… Tamaki-Kun, why is it you're so beautiful?" A girl asked him.
"Because I want to catch your eye, if only for one second later." He answered her.
"Why is that your voice is so mellow?" Another girl asked.
"So that my feelings may reach your heart." He told her.
"Why is it that you look at me with such moist eyes?" Another asked, clasping her hands together with a light blush on her face.
He lifted part of his bang, to reveal his tears that were on the brim of his eyes and answered, "Because your fresh, young smile make the spring in my heart overflow."
"Tamaki-Kun…" The girls sighed dreamily.
"Why are you so annoyed, Lani?" Miyuki said, coming up to her side.
"One more dreaming girl who says Tamaki-Kun will get glimmered by me until she forgets her own name." She said.
Miyuki laughed, "So you told them, huh?"
"Yeah… Do you think it was the right thing to do?"
"I think that they'll keep it a secret and become your friends. All you need to do know is… make sure you Uncle, Aunt and cousin don't find out." Miyuki said.
"The two of you would wear matching kimonos, huh?" One of the twins' clients said, noting that they were wearing the same thing as each other.
"The ones that everyone is wearing today were designed by our mother. If you like, we can take your order." Hikaru said.
"It was our grandmother that dressed us, though." Kaoru said.
"And of course, it's my task to undress you, Kaoru." Hikaru said, holding Kaoru's chin.
Twincest.
"Hikaru." Kaoru said, a blush on his cheeks, "You're embarrassing me, in front of the others…" He turned his head away.
Twincest = Squealing fangirls.
"What a tender embrace!" The girls squealed in excitement.
"Haruhi-Kun, you look so cute in your kimono." Two girls suddenly came up to him.
"Sachiko-Chan, you look so adorable in your kimono and with your hair styled that way." Two girls suddenly appeared in front of her, making Miyuki accidentally send her powers flying to the ceiling. Not that it did anything.
Yep. Miyuki is also a fairy, except she's full fairy unlike the half-fairy Leilani. Miyuki was on her journey that the fairies called 'The Other Walk'. It's a time period where you experience what it's like to be a human.
"What was that?" A girl asked.
"Nothing." Both fairies said, rather fast. "Thank you for your compliment, sweethearts, but I think you're all beautiful even without these kimonos. I can't imagine how gorgeous you'd look wearing one." Leilani said, with her toothy grin.
The girls blushed and flailed their arms saying she was 'too kind'.
"How do you keep your teeth so white and straight?" A girl asked.
"How do you keep your skin so soft and fair?"
"How do you keep your hair so straight and clean?"
"How come you have pointy ears and long canine teeth?"
"One at a time." She said, starting to count off of her fingers, "I brush daily with a special toothpaste and mouthwash to keep it white. I moisturize and take care of my skin to keep it soft and fair. I brush and wash my hair on a daily basis to keep it like this. As for my ears and teeth, I was born like this and I think it makes me pretty unique so I don't mind."
"Oh, Sachiko!" Miyuki faked being wowed.
"Oh, wow!" The girls squealed.
"Haru-Chan, Sachi-Chan." Mitsukuni called out, with tears in his eyes.
Are these hosts using eye drops? Leilani thought.
"I lost one of my sandals." He said, one of them in his hand.
"You were wearing them just a while ago, weren't you?" Haru and Leila asked.
Takashi appeared by his side with his lost sandal in his hand.
"Mitsukuni…" He said, putting it on to his foot.
"Takashi."
"You left it over there." He said.
"Takashi!" He exclaimed, hugging the tall boy.
"Fantastic."
"It is fantastic."
"These tearful scenes are spreading." Haruhi, Leilani, and Miyuki said at the same time.
"How though?" Haruhi asked, walking away.
She bumped into Kaoru though, making something fall out of his sleeve – Eye drops.
"I should let you know, it's a common practice for a host."
"There isn't a girl around who wouldn't swoon over moist eyes."
"There's me." Leilani said, flicking Hikaru on the forehead, as she walked past him with a giggling Miyuki.
"That's cheating." Haruhi and Leilani said in unison.
"Oh, don't be so rigid." One of the twins said,
"Here, Haruhi, Leilani." A sweet was placed into both of their hands. "This is for you two."
It was sparkling in both of their hands as they stared at it with wide eyes.
"For us?" They both said, sweetly.
"How charming!" Both twins said.
"Haruhi-Kun, Sachiko-Chan, you like confections?"
"Haruhi's not much for sweets." Leilani said.
Then they looked at each other with a small idea.
"But, it might be nice as a memorial offering for our mothers." Both girls said with a smile.
"How admirable of you!" Tamaki said to his 'daughters'. Leilani moved away, not wanting to get involved.
"Sachiko-San, is your mother not alive anymore?" One of the girls said, taking in her words from a moment ago.
"Iie. My mother passed away a very long time ago. But, I always visit her grave whenever I can." Leilani answered them.
"Where's her grave?" A girl asked.
"Mom's actual grave hasn't been revealed to me." She lied. She couldn't mention the real place. But then she added a truth, "But, when I was younger, I built a grave for her in England, so I always visit that one. I found out that my mother liked sunsets like me. So, I built it on a hill where she could always watch it."
"That's so sweet of you. She must be really happy." They said.
"I hope so. I also made a small display for her in my home, here, in Japan. You guys are welcome to come to my house to see it." Leilani said.
"I'll be there, just so you know." Miyuki said.
"Can I come?" Tamaki said, coming up to her.
"No. I'm not comfortable with boys… They usually mock me and my devotion and care towards my mother." She exaggerated, just for show.
"I would never do that!" He cried, tears in his eyes.
"Are those tears fake, too?" Leilani asked.
"My tears are always genuine. Crying without eye drops is the mark of a true host." He told her, holding a hand to his heart.
He danced around Haruhi and Leilani next, asking if they'd fallen for him yet, making Miyuki also tease her.
"Got to go." Miyuki whispered, receiving a nod, before teleporting out like a creep. Leilani shook her head in a disapproval. And Tamaki shrieked when she suddenly vanished with no trace left.
"Another… One…" He muttered in shock.
Out of her eye, she saw someone standing at the doorway, sneaking glances.
She looks like Renge… Leilani thought.
"Huh? We have a new guest." The twins said in unison, speeding to the door, roses outstretched to welcome her.
"What are you waiting for? Come on in." Kaoru said, offering a red rose.
"It isn't any fun just to watch." Hikaru added, offering his rose.
"Come on." They both said, still offering the roses.
Before Tamaki interfered.
"What the…" Leilani muttered, looking at Haruhi.
The next thing she heard was Tamaki being slapped and pushed backwards, by the words, "No! Don't touch me, you phony prince!"
Which shocked all of the members of the Host Club. Next thing they knew, she was throwing insults at Tamaki, saying he wasn't good enough to be the prince character of the club.
That's when Leilani realised that it was indeed Renge Houshakuji… God, that girl was annoying but sometimes good company...
"By any chance, are you…?" Kyoya started, but he was cut off when Renge attacked him with a hug saying that she wanted to meet her Kyoya-Sama. And that he was her own prince.
"Fiancée?"
"Kyoya-Senpai's?"
"Yes. My name is Houshakuji Renge. I will be transferring into 1st-Year, Class A tomorrow." She said.
"Look, he's mad." Hikaru said, indicating to the wallowing King of the Host Club who was indeed sat on the ground, not speaking.
"That's because Mommy was hiding something from Daddy." Kaoru said.
"Whatever. Are you trying to make this husband and wife thing stick?" Kyoya asked.
"It is indeed love at first sight!" Renge said, drawing attention to herself. "The way you were admiring those flowers by yourself in the back courtyard, even when no one else was looking… And the way you kindly reached out to that injured little kitty…"
"Do you have the wrong person?" Haruhi asked.
Leilani, however, thought over what she was saying and searching through all the anime, manga, and video games in her head. Yes, a secret otaku.
"No! You can't fool these eyes!" She cried.
"Renge, do you have him confused with Ichijo Miyabi from the love simulation game – Uki-Doki Memorial?" Leilani asked.
"Not confused. He's my real life Ichijo Miyabi!" Renge corrected her.
"Uki?"
"Doki?"
"An otaku?!"
"She's an otaku?!"
"I've never seen one before!"
"I see now. You're infatuated with this character. You're projecting the character infatuation onto me, going as far as to delude yourself into thinking we're engaged. This Miyabi-Kun probably wears glasses too, right?" Kyoya concluded.
"Ichijo Miyabi is actually a little like you. He has a similar face structure and your glasses. If you died your hair a dark brown, wore a red scarf, then you'd pass as his twin brother!" Leilani told him.
"OTAKU?!" Hikaru screamed at her.
"A little…" She admitted sheepishly.
"So, she's not really your fiancée?" Tamaki asked, weakly.
"I don't remember asking for her hand in marriage. In fact, this is my first time meeting her…" Kyoya answered.
Tamaki sighed in relief as the others sweat-dropped.
"Leilani?!" Renge finally realised it was her and tackled her into a hug.
"You know her?!" Kaoru yelled.
"Yes." Leilani struggled to say.
Renge quickly get off and scurried over to Kyoya.
"According to my research, Kyoya-Sama, I understand that you administer everything in the club."
"That's right. Kyo-Chan is our director." Mitsukuni told the French Otaku.
"The director? That's perfect." Renge said. "I've always dreamed about being the drawing card for a business."
"We don't need one. We're a host club after all." The twins said to her, only to go by as ignored.
"I've made up my mind." She said, twirling around. "I'm going to be the Host Club's manager."
"Hey, Kyoya…" Tamaki whined.
"She's the daughter of a client who's important to the Ootori Family, so I ask that you be sure not to do anything impolite." Kyoya said to him.
"Can I glimmer her?" Leilani whispered to him.
"I thought you knew her? Why would you glimmer her?" Kyoya asked.
"I know her, doesn't mean she's my bestie!" She said.
"She knows your real name." He pointed out as Tamaki rested his head against the sofa and cried.
"Everyone, it's going to a pleasure working with you." Renge said. "Oh, and Leilani, it's so good to see you again!"
She once again attacked her with a hug. "Ha-Ha, Renge, so good to see you again. How you been?"
"Just fine! What about you? How's Kian? Is he okay? Does he go to Ouran?!" She asked her.
"I'm fine too. Kian is probably fine too and he's doing well with his studies, but no, he doesn't go to Ouran." She told her, with a fake smile.
"Oh, well tell him said hi. So, have you gotten a boyfriend yet?!" She asked enthusiastically. For this question, the Host Club circled around them.
"N-No, I haven't." She stuttered.
"You should go out with Kian!" She yelled.
"No! I don't need a boyfriend!" Leilani said, standing up and pushing all the boys away.
"I'll get you one!" Renge exclaimed, walking out of the door.
"W-What? Renge!" She screamed.
The door closed loudly, and electricity sparked from Leilani's body. From her hand, a bunch of white electricity shot up towards the sky due to her anger.
"Calm down, Leila! You're going to destroy the school!" Haruhi shouted.
"Maybe they'll make it less pink next time…" She muttered, letting her feet touch the ground.
"She made… electricity…" Tamaki whispered.
"I'm half-fairy. Get it in your head, Tamaki." Leilani said.
He started to sulk in the corner, much to the club's amusement.
"My daughter's being mean to me." He cried.
"That's not even possible. I'm one year younger than you. I'm half-FAIRY, meaning not human, and I was born in England, somewhere that you haven't been. Also, Kyoya can't be the mother because he's a male." Leilani explained, only making him cry more.
"At least someone understands." Kyoya muttered.
"By the way, Renge doesn't know I'm Fairy, so don't tell her. She'll gossip until she's dead." Leilani said, sighing afterwards.
"Tomorrow's going to be a long day." Haruhi said. "Let's go."
"Yeah… I'm so tired!" The blue-eyed girl cried, picking up her bag.
Kyoya, noticing her bag, started to note something in his black notebook. Her bag was a blush pink colour - Michael Kors. As a 'commoner', he wouldn't expect her to waste money on expensive bags. She also had an iPhone… Was she really a commoner?
"Are you really a commoner?" Kyoya asked, just as she placed her hand on the golden handle.
"Well, obviously not." She mumbled, before walking out with a smirking Haruhi, who knew almost everything about her.
The Host Club had gathered together near the couches, listening to Tamaki, unwillingly, and much to the two girls of the Host Club's annoyance.
"I thought about it all last night." Tamaki started. "And having a lady manager might not be that bad."
"Why do you say that?" The twins asked.
"Well, it's fairly obvious isn't it? She has transferred into the same class as Haruhi and Leilani. If the three become closer to each other and become best friends, Haruhi might get more girlish and Leilani will stop playing with you two shady twins. With both girls sharing their girly-ness with Haruhi, it might stimulate Haruhi's own sense of femininity." Tamaki answered them.
"Good grief." Both girls sweat-dropped.
"Now is our change to help Haruhi get in touch with her feminine side. This is an important project, men. She doesn't have any friends, other than Leilani, in class right now except for these two shady twins. That's not good for her. What's better is, Renge and Leilani know each other, meaning they can work together!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"Like you have room to talk." Hikaru and Kaoru said.
They were all interrupted when Renge walked in through the door to speak to them, "Everyone. Renge, your Host Club manager, has baked some cookies." She brought them out to show everyone.
"Oh… How ladylike! I'm so moved!" Tamaki said, flying next to her.
"I didn't bake them for you, you phony prince." Renge told him, losing her bubbly face.
Tamaki vanished and reappeared in his sulking side, next to the wall, where a black upset aura radiated off of him.
Renge appeared next to Kyoya, hearts flying around her whilst she held out the batch to him, "They might be a little burnt, but I know what you're going to say, Kyoya-Sama."
"Anything you make is going to be delicious, of course!" Miyabi said…
"Oh, you're always so sweet to me, Kyoya." She cried, holding her face whilst Honey nibbled on the cookie.
"You're right. These are burnt." He told her.
"Mitsukuni, stop, they're bad for you." Takashi said, appearing behind the short boy.
Without warning, it was as if Renge turned into Medusa and she started to chase the two third-years around the room.
Leilani lightly clicked her finger, and Renge tripped over the air near her feet, to Honey's relief and the twins' amusement. Haruhi and Leilani then both took a cookie and had a bite from it.
"They're savoury, and not all that bad." Haruhi said, with Leilani softly nodding. Behind them, the twins watched and hatched a small plan to annoy Tamaki.
As Haruhi and Leilani put a bit of the cookie into their mouth, Hikaru and Kaoru appeared before them.
"Let us see." They both said, Hikaru biting off Haruhi's cookie, and Kaoru biting off Leilani's cookie.
"Oh look, you have crumbs on your faces." They both said, Hikaru licking it off Haruhi's face, and Kaoru licking it off Leilani's face.
They grinned at both girls as they rubbed the spot they licked, with Tamaki screeching behind them, trying to tell Kyoya.
"Before anyone realised it, they've become a congenial classmate quartet." Kyoya commented on the four first-years.
"You know, if you'd just say so, we would've gotten them off ourselves and if you wanted one, they're right here." Leilani said, furrowing her brows together, holding out the batch.
"Y-Your reaction is all wrong!" Tamaki shouted, holding Leilani's face as Haruhi quickly scooted away. "You have to stay strong and reject them, then casually brush them to the side. Do you understand?"
"Is this what they call sexual harassment? Please don't sexually harass me…" Leilani said to him, looking away.
"Harassing you?! If I'm harassing you, then those shady twins are twice as guilty!" Tamaki yelled.
"Actually no they aren't. I let them do it. However, I will not accept you doing this to me." Leilani said, fighting back a laugh.
The twins started to laugh, "O-Okay, s-sorry sir." They said, whilst laughing at Leilani's comment.
"Renge-Chan, Renge-Chan, do you want some milk?" Mitsukuni asked, with a cup of milk in his hand.
"Too tepid." She muttered.
"Eh?"
"It's all too tepid!" She shouted.
The Host Club froze their actions to look at her.
"Except for Kyoya-Sama, and maybe Leilani-Chan, all of your characters are too lukewarm!" She exclaimed. "Each of you needs to have some sort of dark side. You understand? Girls are vulnerable to handsome young men who are troubled. If you keep carrying on like this, it's only a matter of time before the girls get tired of you and stop coming all together. Are you trying to ruin my precious Kyoya's business? As your manager, it's my duty to change your character backgrounds. Let's start with you! If all you are is cute, inside and out, then you're no different to a baby. Therefore, from now on, you are the baby-faced thug. And Mori Senpai, you're his childhood-friend, the flunky. The twins will be basketball players enslaved in their own world. Haruhi, you're an honour student who's constantly being bullied. And as for you, Tamaki, you're the school idol who's admired for your good looks but you actually have an inferiority complex you're hiding from the world. The lonely prince. And Kyoya, you're perfect just the way you are now. So I want you to stay as kind and affectionate as ever, 'kay? Oh, and Leilani, I'll need your help with setting up and you can join some scenes okay? Since, you know, you're already an actress!"
"Thank you, I'm honoured." Kyoya said to her.
"Oh, boy." Leilani blinked and sighed.
"The lonesome prince. That's perfect for me." Tamaki said, standing in a sudden spotlight.
"That's probably the one she got most wrong." Both brunettes said.
"Kyoya-Senpai…" Hikaru hissed, grabbing him by his shoulder, as did Kaoru.
"You've got to do something about it!" Kaoru said.
"But, his highness seems up for it." Kyoya reasoned, pointing at the posing boy who was asking if he looked in character.
"That's pretty good, Tamaki-San. Now, it would be even better if there was some rain."
"Well, let's just see how it goes, shall we?" Kyoya said, holding his own chin. "Something interesting will come of it, I'll bet."
"Leila~, do something!" Both twins whined.
"I can't. She's too into it now. There's no stopping her."
"Glimmer her."
"And risk getting caught? No thank you." She said, walking to the couch, leaving sweat-dropping twins.
A/N: School starts on Tuesday 6th, which is tomorrow for me. It's currently 20:05… I need to shower, get everything ready, and change, etc. for school tomorrow. But, I wanted to update for you supporters. Thank you so much for the reviews and favourites and follows.
