Hikaru's POV
It was a quiet day at the Host Club when he came in. I should tell you, Mori and Hani- sempai had left the club, since they graduated. Mori-sempai is currently going to law school (good for him!).
A young man, my age, with short blonde hair and green eyes entered the club. He had the school uniform on and a smile on his face. He could've been another Tamaki, but when he spoke, his voice isn't as charming.
"This must be the famous Host Club," he began.
"That's Benjamin Thompson," our current customer, Mika, muttered. "He's American who's new to Ouran."
"I hear he's really sweet," one customer added from across the room.
"Is he… planning on joining the club?" Kaoru asked me. I plainly shrugged.
Kyoya pardoned him from the center of the room and talked to him aside. I continued to entertain Mika with my brother. She went crazy, as all of the other girls, when I slowly ran my fingers down her cheek.
At the end of Host Club day, Haruhi was cleaning up the tea cups we've used. Kaoru was happy to help, and the King raised his voice, warning us not to make a move on her daughter.
"Where's Kyoya?" Tamaki asked.
"Last time I saw him, he was talking to Mr. Attention Grabber," I answered.
"Well, I talked to him," the Shadow King's voice said from behind a column. "He did want to join. I told him that I'll talk it over with our King."
I know that Kyoya wanted him to join because of one thing, that I could see from the look in his eyes: merit. They had, a so called, private conversation. The rest of us could totally hear them, but tried not to pay attention.
"I've decided we see how good of a host he is!" Tamaki exclaimed, so much for being private.
"Good, he invited us to a Halloween party this weekend," Kyoya added. "It's a costume party at his family's estate."
"The Host Club will attend!" Tamaki screamed.
SATURDAY
The boss was a pain in the ass. He woke up all of us to get ready for the party. WE were at Benjamin's estate by noon. The part won't start until seven!
"Wow, I didn't realize you'll be here so early," he said opening the door. "Well come in, make yourself comfortable."
"As a host, you must be a well-mannered gentleman to any visitor!" Tamaki screamed.
"What's with the entire screaming Ben!" a girl's voice said from mansion. Benjamin motioned for us to come in.
"Just… Friends," he replied. "People, this is my little sister, Grace."
"I'm only a year younger than you," she added. "I also got your costume ready."
"Love you sis," he retorted.
"I know you do," Grace said. We didn't get to see her, which peaked my curiosity.
"Let me lead you to our living room." Benjamin took us to a room down the hall. It was painted red and white, and the furniture was either honey brown or black with gold linings. The furniture was Victorian style. "Have a seat, I'll make some tea."
"Doesn't he have a butler or something to make the tea?" Kaoru whispered.
"Maybe they're the kind of rich family who doesn't waste money on help," I muttered.
A girl, about 5'7, walked into the living room. Her blonde hair was tied to a French braid that went over her right shoulder. She had a white v-neck shirt on, with denim shorts. The girl was bare footed, comfortable in her home.
"Hey," she greeted with a smile. I noticed her green-eyes, darker than her brother's.
"I didn't know such beauty existed," Tamaki began.
"You must be the Host Club," Grace said. "That line is pretty old. I'm sure my grandpa used that line on my grandmother."
Grace's POV
My brother then came in with a tray of tea, setting it down on the coffee table. The Host Club boys introduced themselves.
"Haruhi, if you're a host, then how come you're a girl?" I asked.
"Sister, you don't know what some Japanese girls are into," Ben added.
"Right," I replied. The twins looked at me and laughed.
"Haruhi isn't meant to please our customers who are…" Tamaki was saying.
"Lesbians… Homosexuals?" I suggested.
"Girls love her, she has fun in the club, all is good," Kyoya explained.
"Thank you for the short and sweet answer," I said.
"By the way boss," Hikaru began.
"We didn't bring costumes," Kaoru finished.
"You hurried us so much, we didn't have time to pick them out," they said together.
"Grace, show our guests the prop room!" Ben ordered.
"Sure, you don't have to say it all bossy like," I retorted. I took all of them upstairs into the room where we pile the things my family used and might use again. "My family is full of film-makers. They just hoard things they'd like to keep from the films they love."
The room was piled with costumes and other props. From old satchels to cowboy hats. There was even a fake car in the room. Masks and necklaces, from a Mardi Gra scene, decorated the wall.
"I guess… I didn't… think of my plan well enough," Tamaki was muttering.
"You never do," I heard Kyoya whisper. I couldn't help smiling.
"Pick out whatever you like, but after tonight, you better return them," I announced.
Tamaki already decided on the prince costume. Kyoya decided to become a vampire. The twins were still skimming through several costumes, and then came across a devil and angel attire. Haruhi came up to me.
"I appreciate your kindness Grace," she began. "But can I not dress up for the party?"
"That will just ruin the spirit of things!" I exclaimed. "I'll give you a simple get-up. It's going to take time though."
I took her to the other room, the make-up room. I put her short hair in a bald cap and put a long wing on top of her head. She looked more like a girl already! I put some prosthetic glue on the middle of forehead and shaped in the way I want to. I painted it red and smeared bits of blood on her face. Haruhi was confused, but I kept on doing my work. I also added fake dirt on parts of her body that was revealed. To finish it up, I teased up part of the wig, for a messy look.
"That should do it for now," I said. "I could tear up some old clothes and put that on you for more realistic look."
"Thanks," she said plainly.
"Wow, good job," Hikaru's voice said from behind. "I decided on the devil's costume, but I can't find the horns."
"I'll go find some torn up clothes in the prop room," Haruhi decided.
"'Kay," I said. I shuffled through the cabinets of prosthetic make up and false teeth. I final found the fake devil horns. "Here, but I'll have to attach them with face glue."
"Go ahead," he replied. Hikaru took a seat. I hovered over him, attaching the glue on his forehead. After I was done, I stepped back. It looked like he was blushing.
I looked for foundation that would match his skin tone. I then went over to him again and applied the make-up.
"You're cute with or without the horns," I said. Hikaru turned red. I couldn't deny him being handsome, so I decided to say it. Actually no one can deny it.
Hikaru went off somewhere to change. The next time I saw him, he had a black suit on with a red shirt under it. The outfit looked pretty modern, but it was still nice.
"Like a true gentleman," I commented.
"YOU DID THIS TO MY HARUHI!" Tamaki's voice said. "SHE SHOULD'VE BEEN A PRINCESS!"
A/N: My first FanFiction! Hope you liked it! Sorry if I messed up on the make-up terms, not very good with them XD. I'll type up the next chapter ASAP! X3 Write down your comments and suggestions, I would love to hear them!
