Chapter Twenty-Three

I sighed. Tamaki was starting to really annoy me. After he found out that I'm afraid of being alone, along with my fear of the dark when I'm alone, he wouldn't leave me alone. He made sure that one of the hosts was with me at all times. At first it wasn't that bad, I mean I already spend almost all my time with Mitsukuni and Takashi, and with the other hosts after school. But now he was starting to follow me around, which is something I found to be very irritating.

I let out a sigh. I had told Mitsukuni and Takashi to go ahead of me to lunch, because I had wanted to ask the teacher a question on my history paper, and on my way to lunch Tamaki appeared from out of nowhere.

"Kitty! What are you doing alone!" I sighed, turning around.

"I'm walking to lunch Tamaki."

"But you're alone!" I sighed an aggravated sigh. If he keeps this up then I'm going to end up hurting him. "I'll walk you to the lunchroom!"

"Tamaki I can make it to the lunchroom, just go back to your class. I'll be fine." I forced a smile at him, before turning around and walking to the lunchroom. Tamaki stuttered something out but I didn't bother listening to what he was saying, I just went to the lunchroom.

Later

"Does anyone know what Tamaki is doing?" The twins gave me a glance, and shrugged in reply. Tamaki was currently moving around awkwardly, I think he may have been trying to dance.

"Some times I wonder about his sanity, Ellie." Kin let out a small sigh after she finished speaking.

"I think Tama-chan is trying to dance!" I glanced over at Mitsukuni.

"I was thinking that also." I turned my head back to look at Tamaki. "But why exactly is he trying to dance like a gypsy?" Suddenly Tamaki had me in his arms spinning in a circle.

"You understand me Kitty!" I noticed that Kin punched Tamaki, even in my disoriented state.

"I only knew that because I'm a dancer Tamaki, and you look like the little five year olds I taught a few years ago." Tamaki's face fell, and the twins let out a loud laugh. "So why exactly are you trying to dance Tamaki?" The sad look instantly left Tamaki's face as he smiled brightly.

"It's for our theme in three days. I have decided that we need something new to entertain the girls!" I raised one of my eyebrows at Tamaki; this wasn't going to end well.

"I could try to help you, if you want Tamaki? I learned how to dance like that years ago." Tamaki had a certain look on his face, like he had an idea.

"Oh I remember that Ellie! It was a cool dance routine." I gave a grin in Kin's direction, but it slid off my face once Tamaki spoke,

"Kitty-senpai you should dance instead of me!"

"Yeah Kitty-senpai, you would be a much more appealing dancer then the boss." I let out a groan of annoyance

"No!" I refused to dance for them.

"B-but~" Kin was quick to cut Tamaki off

"Ellie said no!" I gave Tamaki a stern look,

"I won't dance, but I can try to teach you." From the corner of my eye I saw Kin shudder slightly, I suppose remembering the time I tried to teach her. Let's just say that it did not end well for either of us.

"O-okay, if you won't dance then I guess teaching me will be the next best thing!" I kept my face stern. I then noticed, from the corner of my eyes, that Kin shook her head slightly.

"You're going to regret this decision Tamaki. Ellie is very serious about her dancing, and will not hold back on you, unless you're a little five year old girl."

"Are you sure about this Tamaki? Cause if you are then that means closing the club for the next three days and coming to school extra early." Tamaki glanced over me to look at Kin, who I think was shaking her head 'no'.

"Y-yes Kitty-senpai!" I gave a sharp nod.

"Good. And since you're my friend you'll be allowed to quit at any time. Be here tomorrow at six thirty in the morning." Kin then let out a groan,

"Really Ellie, that means I'll have to get up extra early also." Kin gave Tamaki a glare; obviously she was annoyed with him.

"You saw him dancing! He needs as much training as possible in the next few days! Besides you can go read, or you can watch him suffer." I gave Kin a bright smile, noticing that Tamaki shuddered slightly.

"Listen Tamaki, just back out now. It'll save you trouble, and I'll get to sleep in."

The Next Day

I slammed open the door to the host club.

"Okay where the hell is Tamaki hiding?" I heard Tamaki scream in terror. Kin let out an annoyed sigh before she started to speak,

"I told you to quit yesterday, but you didn't listen. Since you're so scared of Ellie, why don't you just quit now, then I'd get to sleep in tomorrow." I glanced over at the twins, annoyed, as they burst out laughing.

"B-boss y-you're afraid o-of Kitty-senpai? Why she's so adorable?" My glance turned into a glare.

"Adorable? Kitty-senpai is not adorable she is pure evil! Well at least as a dance teacher."

"Yeah… Right." Once more Kin let out a sigh. There was a reason that I wasn't allowed to teach dance anymore.

"If you don't believe him, I have a video from this morning, but let me warn you that it isn't a pretty sight."

"What! You recorded him? B-but he was so dreadful." I frowned over at Kin.

"I realize that, but I couldn't resist. You know that I like to have my blackmail." Kin then gave an evil grin in Tamaki's direction. I let out a soft sigh, how quickly I had forgotten.

"I wonder if we'll be able to make a profit off of this." Tamaki and I glanced at each other, both of our faces pale. It would be bad enough for the hosts to see this. I noticed that Kyouya was writing something down, and Kin's eye twitched slightly before she responded.

"To bad I'm not giving you this. That would ruin my blackmail." I could tell that Kin was resisting the urge to stick her tongue out at Kyouya. "Not to mention I would be surprised if you would be able to make any sales off of this tape." I let out a sigh.

"I'm not going to stay and watch this, I was there after all. I'm going to go to the store and pick up a soda or something." Tamaki jumped out of his seat, waving his hand, shouting out,

"Oh! Oh! Can I go? Can I?" I paused to think about it. I really didn't want to go alone, that would end horribly.

"Uh sure? You can come with me if you want to." Tamaki then leaped forward and hugged me tightly, spinning in a circle, in the same spot. As normal I managed to slip out of Tamaki's arms, slightly dizzy. "Come on, if your coming, let's get going." I then left the room, with Tamaki hot on my heels, asking me question after question about the 'commoner' store we were going to.
