Author's note(s): Hey, guys! So, I have been sick for the last few days and it sucks :P... But I was able to finish this chapter so Happy early Valentine's Day! ...remember the beta is Aihara Awayuki...
Story fact(s): This chapter and the next three chapter are filler chapter because its shows the girls in their clubs or an element of the club they're in. It's the Akiyama twins in this chapter. These chapters, I hope, will set this story different from any other Hostess story on this site. Plus, I didn't plan for this chapter to be release the week of Valentine's Day, but I'm glad it did. It features one of my favorite Shakespearean plays and it's a comedy, not tragedy. It's involves one of the first love square in literature, which are really two (right) triangles put together...
Disclaimer: See chapter 1. I also don't own the play in this chapter.
Episode III: A Midsummer Night Dream
~OHSHC; Ouran Auditorium~
"We need an idea for a play..."
The Theatre Club's president, third year Erisa Hayashi, paced in front of the members of the club. She had black, short hair and brown, honey eyes.
"Maybe we should do Shakespeare," one of Erisa's friends suggested.
"Yes, but we can't usually get enough people to come to our plays that are by him," Erisa explained, thinking about it. "Don't worry, we'll do it, but we need a way to promote it."
Then, the Akiyama twins entered from backstage, looking more irritated than ever.
Erisa paused in her pacing, looking at the twins. "Are the costumes organized?"
"Yes," the Akiyama twins replied in unison.
"Good, you can join us with the discussion," Erisa nodded, indicating the group.
The Akiyama twins joined them. The group continued with ways to promote the play that wouldn't include just posters of the play. Mayumi looked at Naomi, raising an eyebrow. Naomi stared back, mimicking her. They silently communicated through their thoughts.
What if they get the Host Club involved?
More likely, Tamaki will turn it into a big deal.
But still, it's an idea we could suggest...
Okay, go for it.
Naomi raised her hand silently. Erisa paused in whatever she was saying and indicated her to speak.
"What if we get the Host Club involved? They have a huge fan base and they promote themselves," Naomi explained, remembering what Haruhi talked about the other day.
"Think about it," Mayumi added her "two cents". "The Host Club gets roles in this play and more than likely, their fans will come to opening night, getting more money for the Theatre Club."
"Hmm..." Erisa hummed, tapping her finger on her chin. Then, she smirked, "That's a good idea. A first..." She walked away from the twins, "...from you two..."
~OHSHC; Music Room #3~
"You want us to what?" five distinct voices from the Hosts.
After club hours, the Theatre Club went over to the Host Club and explain the situation to them. Sakura, Ukemo, and Karai were already over there, helping clean them up.
"You heard me," Erisa huffed, crossing her arms across her chest. "We want the Host Club involved with the production of the latest Ouran Academy Theatre Club's play."
"Princess Erisa," Tamaki stepped forward, smiling sheepishly. "Why would you need the Host Club involved in such a project?"
"Our plays needs more people to come on opening night to see them," Erisa explained, raising her head to his level. "Which will raise the club more money as well."
Mayumi and Naomi noticed that Ukemo was having trouble with the dishes. They snuck off from the group to help her, without drawing attention to themselves. The three get done in time for Erisa to say,
"By the way, if you don't like the idea, you can thank the troublesome twins in our group for suggesting it."
"Hmm?" the Akiyama twins blinked in confusion.
The Hosts repeated this action and exchanged looks with each other. Sakura, Ukemo, and Karai, who were sitting on a couch nearby after cleaning the room, did the same and exchanged looks with the other.
Kyoya stepped forward beside Tamaki. "We're not saying it's a bad idea," he paused to adjust his glasses, "It's just that what's in it for the Host Club if we agree to do this..."
Erisa's expression faltered with realization. A girl with long, golden-brown hair and hazel eyes stepped forward. Her name was Arisu Nonaka, a third year and Vice President of the Theatre Club.
"How about 40% of the profits?" Arisu suggested, causing Erisa to raise an eyebrow. "We have a lot of costumes we'll use for the play, some of the girls are excellent makeup artists, and the parents of the Theatre Club cater for the food back stage. We hardly spend money, only for the scripts and/or arrangements for musicals. Besides, it will get free publicity of the Host Club that won't cost anything."
"Hmm..." Kyoya thought about it. "Very well. The Host Club will do the play with the Theatre Club and we'll agree to the deal of the promise of 40% of the profits."
Erisa and Tamaki shook on it.
"Now, you will need to come by tomorrow for us to bounce ideas off," Erisa explained, walking to the door with the Theatre Club, minus the Akiyama twins, "Also, we'll be rehearsing as soon as parts of the play are decided. Theatre Club, you all are dismiss."
The Theatre Club left, minus the Akiyama twins. The Hitachiin twins turned to smirk at the Akiyama twins.
"The troublesome twins suggested it, huh?" Kaoru repeated what Erisa had said.
"You two must really love to suggest such an idea to your club," Hikaru commented, before he and his twin chuckled.
"Whatever," the Akiyama twins scoffed, crossing their arms.
"It was only thing we could think of," Mayumi rolled her eyes to the ceiling.
"Besides, you guys went for it," Naomi shrugged.
Tamaki popped up behind them, embracing them. "Oh, I'm just glad that you two are thinking of the Hosts! Even if you're not a part of the family, we will think of you as such!"
"Get your hands off of us, Tamaki-senpai!" the Akiyama twins yelled at him as he continued to coo and coddle them.
"Yeah, boss."
Suddenly, the girl twins were in the arms of the boy twins: Mayumi in Hikaru's and Naomi in Kaoru's.
"Don't you think that...
"...they should be embraced by the rest of the family?" the Hitachiins huffed, tightening their grip on the girl they were holding.
The Akiyamas looked at the other and smirked, thinking of an idea. Each Akiyama twin wrapped their arms up the back and placed their hands on the shoulders of the Hitachiin twin holding them, hugging them back.
"Actually, we prefer to..."
"...be embraced by you two than Tamaki-senpai," the Akiyama twins giggled.
Tamaki gasped dramatically, clutching his chest. "Why? Oh, why Mayumi and Naomi must you choose them over ME?! The shady twins!"
"Oh, calm down, you idiot," Sakura stated out loud, typing her computer.
"Oh, no matter," Tamaki sighed, collecting himself. "At least, I can hug Sak-"
"Think about touching me and I'll kill you where you stand," Sakura warned, pausing to send a death glare in Tamaki's direction.
Tamaki turned white, before flopping to the ground.
"Is he dead?"
~OHSHC; Ouran Auditorium~
The next day, the Host Club met with the Theatre Club during club hours. The Host Club cancelled the club meeting for the day. In meetings between plays, the club members would be sitting in the seats near the stage with the President and the Vice president on the stage. Both Clubs' Presidents and Vice Presidents sat on the stage with their members in the seats near the stage.
"So, what play do you guys want to do?" Tamaki asked, smiling brightly.
"We planned on doing one of Shakespeare's plays," Erisa replied, to which Tamaki stood up.
"Oh, how about the tragedy, Hamlet? 'To be, or not to be-that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings-"
"Actually, we're going to with a Shakespearean comedy," Erisa interrupted the well-known speech.
"We did a tragedy last we perform Shakespeare," Arisu added, smiling innocently with a clipboard.
"We're going to put on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream," Erisa explained, facing the members in the audience. She smirked triumphantly, chuckling, "I'm going to play one of the main two girls involved in the love square. Who do you think I should play? Hermia or Helena?"
"Actually, Erisa," Arisu spoke up, "I think you should play Titania instead."
The smirk fall from Erisa's face and a frown replaced it. "Why?"
"I just think that since the last play you were the star of it," Arisu explained carefully, "so I believe someone else should be the stars. But Titania is still a big part."
"But she falls in love with a donkey," Erisa huffed, glaring at her Vice President while her statement gained some snickers from the audience.
"Correction: An actor whose head is turn into that of a donkey," Arisu clarified, smiling innocently.
"It might as well be the same," Erisa sighed, rubbing the sides of her forehead. "So, Miss Nonaka, who do you think should play Hermia and Helena?"
"Mayumi and Naomi Akiyama," Arisu replied, indicating said twins in the audience.
Silence filled the room as the clubs' members took in the information. The said twins were shocked and looked at each other with hope-filled smiles. However, those smiles disappeared when they heard laughter. They glared at the only one laughing.
The laughter turned out to be from Erisa. "Those two? Now, I know you're kidding! Hahaha! There's no way you would cast these first years to play big parts! Hahaha!"
"Erisa, I'm serious," Arisu stated seriously.
Erisa stopped laughing. "Why give first years, much less those two, major parts of a play?"
"They have the Script Gift," Arisu replied.
"What's the Script Gift?" Hani asked, innocently which made some of the females in the room fawn over him.
"The Script Gift is a term I came up with. It's the gift of being able to memorize a script and recite it perfectly," Arisu explained, before turning to Erisa. "I've noticed that every time the twins are given a script since they've came to Ouran, they have been to memorize it and perform it perfectly. Remember the last time we had auditions? They were able to do just that and everyone, minus the Host Club, saw it, didn't you guys?" Mumbled agreements from the Theatre Club and nods were seen. "I think they should be able to play major roles like Hermia and Helena."
"Well, it's more a club anyway so let's take a vote," Erisa scoffed, turning the members of the audience. "Who thinks that I should play one of the roles: Hermia and Helena, and not the twins suggested by our Vice President? All in favor, raise your hand." Erisa raised hers.
However, she was the only one because no one else raised their hand. Erisa huffed, putting down her hand.
"All in favor in letting the Akiyama twins play Hermia and Helena while Erisa plays Titania, raise your hand," Arisu chuckled, raising her hand.
Most of the audience's hands were up for the favor. In the end, the rest of the parts were passed out. The Hosts got roles as well: Tamaki as Oberon, Kyoya as Theseus, Hikaru and Kaoru as Lysander and Demetrius, Hani as Puck, Haruhi as Peaseblossom, and Mori as Tom Snout. The rest of the roles were given to the Theatre Club with Arisu playing Hippolyta and so on.
~OHSHC; Ouran Auditorium~
The next week after that, rehearsals for the play had started. At the moment, one of the Akiyama twins and one of the Hitachiin twins were playing out the first couple of the play from the first act, scripts in hand.
"'How now, my love! why is your cheek so pale'?" 'Lysander' asked, embracing 'Hermia' with a hand on her cheek. "'How chance the roses there do fade so fast'?" He placed a kiss on her brow.
"Belike for want of rain, which I could well," 'Hermia' wiped out at her eyes. "Beteem them from the tempest of my eyes."
Haruhi, along with the rest of the Hosts and various Theatre Club members, sat in the audience and noticed something... out of place. She walked over to Arisu and whispered what she noticed.
'Lysander' wiped away 'Hermia's 'tears'. "Ay me! for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,-"
"Cut!" Arisu yelled, interrupting the scene. "Haruhi has brought it to my attention that the right twin is not playing the right role."
"What?" filled the auditorium along with confusion murmurs.
"It was decided that Mayumi would play Hermia while Hikaru would play Lysander," Erisa explained rolling her eyes. "The actors onstage are Naomi and Kaoru. Get out here, Mayumi and Hikaru!"
Said people came onto the stage, looking surprised.
"You guys decided to do the old switch-a-roo, too?" Hikaru asked, shockingly as he was handed the script by his brother.
"Eh, seemed like fun," Mayumi shrugged, grabbing the script from her sister's hand. "Plus, we were bored."
"Positions...and action."
"'How now, my love! why is your cheek so pale'?" 'Lysander' asked, embracing 'Hermia' with a hand on her cheek. "'How chance the roses there do fade so fast'?" He placed a kiss on her brow.
"Belike for want of rain, which I could well," 'Hermia' wiped out at her eyes. "Beteem them from the tempest of my eyes."
'Lysander' wiped away 'Hermia's 'tears'. "Ay me!," 'Lysander' released himself from 'Hermia', "for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,-"
"O cross! too high to be enthrall'd to low" sighed 'Hermia'.
"Or else misgraffed in respect of years,-" listed 'Lysander'.
"O spite! too old to be engaged to young." 'Hermia' commented, covering her mouth.
"Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,-" 'Lysander' told her.
"O hell! to choose love by another's eyes." 'Hermia' imputed
"Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it, Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up: So quick bright things come to confusion." 'Lysander' explained, shaking his head.
"If then true lovers have been ever cross'd, It stands as an edict in destiny: Then let us teach our trial patience, Because it is a customary cross, As due to love as thoughts and dreams and sighs, Wishes and tears, poor fancy's followers." 'Hermia' suggested, grabbing 'Lysander's' arm
"A good persuasion: therefore, hear me, Hermia," 'Lysander' agreed, nodding his head. "I have a widow aunt, a dowager Of great revenue, and she hath no child: From Athens is her house remote seven leagues; And she respects me as her only son. There, gentle Hermia, may I marry thee; And to that place the sharp Athenian law Cannot pursue us. If thou lovest me then, Steal forth thy father's house to-morrow night; And in the wood, a league without the town, Where I did meet thee once with Helena, To do observance to a morn of May, There will I stay for thee."
"My good Lysander!" 'Hermia' exclaimed excitedly, "I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow, By his best arrow with the golden head, By the simplicity of Venus' doves, By that which knitteth souls and prospers loves, And by that fire which burn'd the Carthage queen, When the false Troyan under sail was seen, By all the vows that ever men have broke, In number more than ever women spoke, In that same place thou hast appointed me, Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee."
"Keep promise, love. Look, here comes Helena," 'Lysander' pointed offstage.
"Cut! That's a good scene," Erisa yelled, looking through the script. "Now, I want Demetrius and Helena to rehearse Act II, Scene I."
'Lysander' and 'Hermia' swapped the scripts with 'Demetrius' and 'Helena' as they went backstage. 'Demetrius' entered the stage in a frantic stride with 'Helena' nearly on his toes.
"I love thee not, therefore pursue me not. Where is Lysander and fair Hermia? The one I'll slay, the other slayeth me. Thou told'st me they were stolen unto this wood; And here am I," 'Demetrius' stopped with 'Helena' a few feet in-between them, "and wode within this wood, Because I cannot meet my Hermia. Hence, get thee gone, and follow me no more."
"You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant; But yet you draw not iron, for my heart Is true as steel,"' Helena' clutched at her chest, "leave you your power to draw, And I shall have no power to follow you."
'Demetrius' raised an eyebrow at her. "Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth Tell you, I do not, nor I cannot love you?"
While the scene played out, Tamaki and Kyoya commented on the play itself.
"Poor Helena," Tamaki sighed, shaking his head. "She's in love with a man that doesn't love her back."
"Well, he ends up falling in love with her later in Act IV," Kyoya explained, looking at Erisa suspiciously.
"Oh, he does?" Tamaki beamed, clutching his heart. "Hang in there, Helena. Love will come your way soon."
As Tamaki said this, Kyoya noticed a sinister smirk on her lips as she watch the scene before her.
Hmmm... Kyoya thought with a raised eyebrow. Very interesting...
~OHSHC; Music Room #3~
"I'm sorry, princesses. We have run out of time for today. Remember that tomorrow we have rehearsal with the Theatre Club for the play premiring in a couple of weeks so we won't be meeting."
For the next few weeks, the Hosts would meet with the Theatre Club for rehearsals on every other day while they held the Host Club on the other days. At this point, Tamaki and the Hosts promoted the play as much they could to their guests. As far as they knew, the guests were excited, especially Renge. As for the contracted girls, Kyoya had notified them when to come in to clean the Host Room and when to not.
~OHSHC; Music Room #3~
The week after rehearsals started and on a day when the Host Club had guests over, the girls had as usual came by after club hours to clean the Hosts Room. After they had finished, the group dispersed to their own activities. Kyoya sat by Sakura as she typed on her laptop for the Debate competition that would be coming up that weekend.
"Untaki, what do you know about a Miss Erisa Hayashi?" Kyoya asked, coolly.
"Why, Ootori? Out of steam to search for yourself?" Sakura remarked, with a chuckle.
Kyoya gritted his teeth briefly before calming down. "No, I just need a second opinion. The person in question was acting questionably the week of the first meeting between the Host Club and the Theatre Club."
Kyoya heard. "Erisa Hayashi: 17, 3-A, daughter of Tomoe Hayashi who owns theaters on the continent and Riko Hayashi who is a famous Japanese actress and singer."
The Ootori third son raised an eyebrow, looking at her. To which she responded with, "You asked, I delivered."
Kyoya shook his head, sighing. He went back to thinking.
"Why did you need this information?" Sakura asked, continuing to type on her laptop.
"It's like I said. She was acting questionably in our meeting when she found out that the Akiyama twins had received bigger roles than what she received."
"It could be that she hate actors that used to be commoners," Sakura remarked, catching his attention.
"What?" Kyoya asked, turning to her.
Sakura shut down her laptop and slapped it close. "Every day at lunch, the Debate Club sits near the Theatre Club so I often pick up a few from their table. Erisa talks, well more like rants, about hating actors who started out as commoners. She hates them since an actress beat her mother out of the major lead of a big movie deal. The actress who beat her mother started out as a commoner."
Kyoya nodded, taking all the information. "Hmm...It makes sense. The Akiyama twins used to commoners before their father become a diplomat. But I catch her smirking every time they're on stage when she's not performing."
"Maybe she's planning something that will sabotage the twins' performance," Sakura pondered, holding her chin. "At any point in the play, are Mayumi and Naomi on the stage by themselves?"
Kyoya thought about it, before coming up with, "Well, there is a short scene where their characters are onstage. In Act III, scene II right after Lysander and Demetrius, which is Hikaru and Kaoru, walked off to fight over Naomi's character, Helena."
"Ah, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, huh?" Sakura smiled aimlessly, before getting back to the task at hand. "What you could do is get some flowers, place a voice recorder in it, and put the vase in the dressing room backstage, wait about two days to a week before collecting the voice recorder and see if you get anything from Erisa."
"Not a bad idea, actually," Kyoya smirked, before realizing he had done it before. "Wait, that sounds like what I did with the Newspaper Club."
"Then, you're dumb enough not to think of it as soon as you saw her smirk," Sakura smirked, and her response was a snarl from Kyoya.
~OHSHC; Dressing Room~
There was a vase-filled bouquet found later that week in the dressing room on the mirror table with a note that read,
Good luck on the show for opening night!
Signed, anonymous
About two days after its discovery, Erisa sat near it, brushing her hair. She hummed and her two with her noticed the strange mood surrounding her.
"Erisa?"
"Why are acting more happy than usual?"
Erisa paused in her brushing, sighing, and "Because I have a way to humiliate the Akiyama twins during opening night."
"How?"
"During that brief moment when it's just the two of them onstage, a whole bunch of rotten fruits and veggies will come down on them and everyone in the audience will see, including their parents."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I hate actors that used to be commoners like the Akiyama twins and just like actress who took the role right from under my mother's feet."
The three left after that conversation. About two hours later, a figure came into the dressing room. He removed the bouquet from the vase and grabbed the voice recorder from the bottom of the vase. He placed the bouquet back in the vase and left the room, recording device in hand.
~OHSHC; Mysterious Locations~
"I can't believe you called me to be here just to see what she said."
"Well, it was your idea to use it this way."
"An idea that was yours originally, but couldn't think of it at the time..."
"Quiet! Listen..."
Silence.
"Well, that's interesting. We have to stop this."
"We could blackmail her before the show."
"No, I have a better idea."
~OHSHC; Ouran Auditorium~
Soon, opening night had arrived and it was a full house. Family members of the Theatre Club came as well as the families of the Host Club. Sakura, Ukemo, and Karai were among the girls in the audience.
At the right time, the curtain raised to signal the start of the play. Kyoya, Arisu, and a few more actors entered the stage in full costume.
'Theseus' cleared his throat, before speaking, "Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour Draws on apace; four happy days bring in Another moon: but, O, methinks, how slow This old moon wanes! she lingers my desires, Like to a step-dame or a dowager Long withering out a young man revenue."
With that, the play began.
About Three Acts and one scene later...
'Hermia', 'Helena', 'Lysander', and 'Demetrius' were onstage in costume. 'Hermia' was blonde with light blue eyes. 'Helena' was raven-haired with deep blue eyes while 'Demetrius' was the same hair color with eyes of forest-green tint. 'Lysander' was a brunette with light brown eyes. The two girls were in the middle of the two arguing.
'Helena' glared at 'Hermia'. "O, when she's angry, she is keen and shrewd! She was a vixen when she went to school; And though she be but little, she is fierce."
'Hermia' glared right back. "'Little' again! nothing but 'low' and 'little'! Why will you suffer her to flout me thus? Let me come to her."
'Lysander' stepped forward, directing his stern gaze at her. "Get you gone, you dwarf; You minimus, of hindering knot-grass made; You bead, you acorn."
'Demetrius' rolled his eyes, pushing 'Lysander' away from 'Hermia'. "You are too officious In her behalf that scorns your services. Let her alone: speak not of Helena; Take not her part; for, if thou dost intend Never so little show of love to her, Thou shalt aby it."
'Lysander' glared at Demetrius. "Now she holds me not; Now follow, if thou darest, to try whose right, Of thine or mine, is most in Helena."
'Demetrius' nodded his head in agreement. "Follow! nay, I'll go with thee, cheek by jole."
The two left the stage.
Backstage, Erisa waited for the trap she had set up for the twins to go off. Onstage, 'Hermia' and 'Helena' glared at each other.
"You, mistress, all this coil is 'long of you: Nay, go not back." 'Hermia' pointed where 'Helena' was standing.
'Helena' shook her head. "I will not trust you, I, Nor longer stay in your curst company. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray, My legs are longer though, to run away."
She exited the stage.
'Hermia' huffed, crossing her arms. "I am amazed, and know not what to say."
She followed 'Helena's' example.
Backstage, Erisa was baffled when she didn't hear what she was expected. The rest of the scene went on. The curtains closed just after Honey as Puck stated, "The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well," and the intermission was called.
Erisa was shocked to find the Akiyama twins spotless and without the rotten fruits and vegetables that she had set up on their clothes. She shook it off and focused on her role as Titania.
About two acts later...
'Puck' smiled as he adressed the audience, "If we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends."
He bowed before the curtains closed. The audience applauded with claps, shouts, and cheers. The curtain opened to reveal the cast bowing to their audience.
~OHSHC; Dressing Room~
Erisa glared at two workers about an hour later.
"You two were supposed to drop rotten fruits and veggies on the characters Hermia and Helena when they were the only ones onstage."
"I'm sorry, Miss Hayashi."
"We were told not to do that."
"By who?" Erisa asked, crossing her arms.
"By me," a voice rang behind her.
"And me," another followed.
Erisa turned around to found Kyoya, in a white buttoned-up shirt and black slacks, and Sakura, in a black halter gown.
"Kyoya? And...Sakura Untaki?" Erisa gasped, raising an eyebrow. "Why? How did you two find about this?"
"This," Kyoya replied, waving around the voice recorder.
"You should really check your bouquets," Sakura commented, smirking. "I hear that they can hear and record everything that said near them."
Erisa started to panic as the two went on with 'causal' conversation.
"Now, Miss Untaki, what should we do with this?" Kyoya asked, indicating the recorder.
"Well, we could send the file to the Theatre Club and get Miss Hayashi removed from her Presidency of the club, Mr. Ootori," Sakura suggested, smirking. "What do you think?"
"I was thinking of send the file to her parents and have them duel out her punishment, Miss Untaki," Kyoya replied, smirking as well.
"Please, don't," Erisa begged, sweating slightly. "I'll do anything."
Kyoya and Sakura smirked at each other before turning to Erisa
"Then, we'll keep this," Kyoya explained, pocketing the device.
"Until the Akiyama twins quit the Theatre Club, you will think twice about how to treat them," Sakura warned, staring sternly. "We won't hesitate to do both of those options and sending them if we hear one word of a complaint from Mayumi and Naomi. Agreed?"
Erisa nodded vigorously, before watching the two leave.
~OHSHC; Music Room #3~
"Tamaki, you were brilliant as Oberon!"
"Kyoya, you played Theseus amazingly!"
"Hikaru, Kaoru, you two made a daring Lysander and Demetrius!"
"Hani, you were adorable as Puck!"
"Mori, you made a strong Tom Snout!"
"Haurhi, you played a cute Peaseblossom!"
The guests were complimenting the Hosts on their performance. They 'fangirl'ed and squealed about the most little of moments that happened in the play. Soon, the Hosts were sending off their guests and the five girls came by to clean up the room.
"Here, this is from Arisu. She said that it was 40% of the total profits," Mayumi explained as she gave an envelope to Kyoya.
"By the way, Erisa was acting weird today, Mayumi," Naomi commented as she started collecting dishes.
"Yeah, I noticed that, too, Naomi," Mayumi agreed, as she walked to the sink.
"Wonder why?" the two stated in unison.
Smirks appeared on Kyoya's and Sakura's face.
And done!
End of chapter note(s): Sorry if there wasn't any pairing moments other than the HitachiinsxAkiyamas and KyoyaxSakura... I promise there will be more of those in future chapters. That's all I have to say really... Oh, review, my lovelies!
~Luv, Flutejrp
