Class Four: Quarrel in the Host Club

Ameko was just walking down the hallway by herself when she noticed a certain host club…it belonged to Chikage! She raised an eyebrow and was about to go in, but she was stopped by Sano,

"Oi! I don't think you should go in there alone!"

Ameko turned around and saw Okita, Sano, and Heisuke standing next to each other. She looked at them with a confused expression and asked,

"Why?"

Okita sighed and said,

"It's a long story, just let us come with you."

"Okay…"

The four friends walked into the host club. The first thing Ameko saw was a line of squealing girls.

'Figures…' she thought.

Then she saw Chikage flirting with a girl. The girl, however, was unaffected by it. All she did was order him to do something. Ameko heard her exclaim,

"Get me some tea!"

Ameko turned to Okita and asked,

"Who's that?"

"That's Sayuri Himeko. The female version of Chikage, but probably worse."

"How many versions of him do you have in the school? Isn't one enough?"

"A lot…?"

"Oh well. Let's head over there. I want to see the look on Chikage's face when he sees us."

Ameko and the others started walking over there, but was stopped by Sayuri! The girl looked at Ameko with a stone hard face and said,

"You must be the new student. Ameko, right? I've heard many things about you. Some good, some bad."

"You must be Sayuri. I've heard many things about you too. All of them were bad."

"I thought you were a girl that was going to be as pretty as me, but how does someone as ugly as you catch the popular boys' attention?"

"Oh…I'm that ugly in appearance? Well, your personality must be equally ugly!"

Suddenly, everything was quiet and a gloomy atmosphere came over the host club. The girls and hosts scurried out of the room, but the boys, including Chikage, hid behind a table. Sano shivered and said,

"Pretty girls disguised as oni…? I didn't know they could be so…"

Sano paused, but the others continued,

"Scary…"

Sayuri's face looked enraged as she yelled,

"Don't act all conceited just because you hang out with the popular boys, you pig!"

"Look who's talking. You're the one going around ordering people to do stuff for you like you're so high and mighty!"

"I'm sure these people are honored to serve me!"

"I think these people are more miserable than honored! Why don't you do us all a favor by going home and complimenting yourself in front of a mirror! None of these people deserve to be tortured by you!"

Sayuri raised her hand and was about to slap Ameko, but Ameko grabbed her wrist and hissed,

"Has your brain run dry of insults? Or did you not have a brain since the beginning?"

"I'd like to slap you silly!"

"I'd like to slap some sense into you, seeing that you don't have any!"

Ameko let go of Sayuri's wrist. Sayuri clenched her fists and screamed,

"I HATE YOU!"

Then she ran out of the room. Ameko turned to the boys and said,

"Let's head back to class."

"Hai…ojou-sama!"

"Don't call me that!"

Ameko and the others walked out of the host club and headed to the next class.
