Host Club at Alice Academy
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice.
...
Hotaru was sitting in a comfy chair eating dessert. The hosts were sitting on a couch across her, eyeing her nervously. They weren't quite sure what she thought about their performance that day. After the guests had left, they went out for dinner but Hotaru kept quiet. They were anxious to know whether Hotaru was going to kill them or congratulate them on a job well done. Each of them knew they had messed up somehow, when they acted inappropriately in front of the guests.
Hotaru put her unfinished dessert down on the coffee table. She picked up her Baka Gun. The girls winced and prepared themselves to be hit. Instead, Hotaru took out a cleaning cloth and polished the deadly weapon. They sighed in relief.
Hotaru looked at them and spoke. "I was watching all of you through the surveillance cameras I had installed in the rooms."
The girls gulped.
"And, I would now like to highlight the various mistakes you made today." Hotaru picked up a remote control and pressed a button. A small part of the floor opened and a sleek looking television rose from the hole.
"That's so cool, Hotaru!" Mikan shouted, pointing at the television.
Hotaru ignored her and continued. "We will first start with Misaki-senpai."
She pressed another button and the screen lighted up. A picture of Misaki entertaining the guests appeared.
"Now, Misaki-senpai had done quite well. The guests enjoyed your company and in the feedback forms I gave the them, one said, 'Misaki-chan was beautiful. A beautiful demon from hell.' . And there was another who said, 'I will always love Misaki-chan, but I don't want a monster for a wife.'
Misaki looked flattered and ashamed at the same time. A different picture of Misaki appeared, it showed her on a rampage, throwing chairs and flipping tables. The other hosts patted on her on the back and shook their heads.
"Well, it was all Tsubasa's fault! If he wasn't so dumb, this wouldn't have happened!" Misaki shouted, stamping her foot.
Mikan tried to calm her down. "Calm down Misaki-senpai! Don't break anything!"
Misaki froze and took a deep breath. She sighed. "Sorry, almost lost it there."
Mikan smiled. "Don't worry! I get angry like that all the time!"
"That's really nothing to be proud of, Sakura." Sumire, said, shaking her head.
"Well, you get angry all the time too! Stupid curly!"
"Hey, don't call me curly you idiot!" Sumire snapped, rising to her feet.
"What did you just call me?"
Sumire planted her hands on her hips. "Hah! An idiot! You are the biggest idiot of all idiots!"
Mikan stared at Sumire, shocked. She screamed. Very loudly.
Back at the dorms:
Mikan's scream echoed through the corridors, everyone in the building winced. Luca was in Natsume's room, staring out the window. The scream hit him like a punch in the face, he grimaced, stumbled backwards and fell at Natsume's feet.
Luca turned to face Natsume. "I guess that was Sakura. She sounds really mad."
Natsume stared out of the window, watching the frightened birds flee the Northern Forest.
"Hn."
Back at the host club:
Baka! Baka!
Hotaru hit Mikan and Sumire with her Baka Gun, and they were both sent flying and slammed into the wall. Misaki sighed. Nonoko and Anna were trembling in fright.
Hoatru glared at Mikan and Sumire. "How about this? Both of you are idiots and we shall now go back to what I was saying before."
Sumire bit her lip and crawled back to her seat. Mikan pouted and remained sitting against the wall, sulking.
Hotaru faced the television. "Now then, let us take a look at Nonoko and Anna's performance."
Anna and Nonoko fidgeted in their seats. A picture of them sobbing into handkerchiefs while surrounded by boys appeared on the screen."
"As you can see, these two were crying. Not because the guests bullied them, but because they got a little emotional while telling the guests a story."
Mikan had went back to her seat. "A story about what?"
Hotaru eyed the two girls in question. "They were telling the guests about how Misaki-sensei didn't seem to like them very much. They went on about their troubles and completely ignored the guests."
Nonoko and Anna bowed their head in shame.
"We're sorry, Hotaru-chan. Really." Anna said, sniffling a little.
"Yeah, we were just so upset that Misaki-sensei didn't come." Nonoko added, rubbing her eyes.
Hotaru shook her head. "It's not like I didn't expect that to happen."
Nonoko and Anna watched her closely, wondering if they were forgiven.
"But its alright," Hotaru continued. "You both did a better job than I expected, I earned more money than estimated from the guests you entertained."
The two girls beamed with delight. Another pictured appeared. It showed Misaki-sensei grinning from ear to ear. Nonoko and Anna began to weep.
"Whoa, what happened to him?" Misaki asked.
"As you can see, he's grinning. Something he isn't known for. Apparently he became too happy from the potion Nonoko put in his tea, and now he looks stupid. But its not really a big deal." Hotaru replied.
Looking at Nonoko, she said, "You have to be careful with what you give the guests. If we harm them, the host club might be ordered to disband. Next time you make something for them, let me inspect them first."
She turned to Anna. "You too. Some of the guests you entertained were spotted throwing up behind the trees. I know you didn't do it on purpose, but next time let me know when you want to make something for the guests.
Anna and Nonoko nodded. "Yes Hotaru-chan, we're really sorry."
Hotaru nodded and pressed a button on her remote control. An image of Sumire attending to the guests popped up on screen. You could practically see the hearts in their eyes.
"Sumire did really well. The guests absolutely loved you. Although some of them mentioned in the feedback forms that you sometimes went into a daze." Hotaru said,facing Sumire.
Sumire sniffed. "I was just thinking about Natsume-kun and Luca-kun once in awhile. It was such a shame that they didn't come to see me. They must have been busy."
Mikan snorted and started to sulk again. A different picture appeared, it showed Sumire going wild, chasing Mindreader and Fox-eye, alice activated and everything. Sumire cringed.
"Now, Sumire here loses it and starts attacking the guests. You broke a few things too, a few chairs, a table, some-"
"Alright, I get it," Sumire interrupted. "But you can't blame me, those two idiots provoked me! They were practically asking me to kill them!"
Hotaru nodded. "I agree, I even warned them not to make you angry. I even fined them for the damages made. But next time, take a deep breath and count to ten."
Sumire snorted. "As if that will work."
"I completely agree with you," Hotaru said. "Just testing whether you really were an idiot like Mikan."
"Hey!" Mikan and Sumire yelled.
"Moving on." Hotaru said, ignoring the glares she was getting. A picture of Mikan appeared, she was entertaining the guests, and they seemed to be fighting for her attention.
"Now, Mikan did several times better than I expected. She was really popular with the guests."
Mikan smirked proudly.
"Of course, I meant that she did well for some one as idiotic as herself. I honestly don't know what the guests saw in her. Aside from Mikan's good looks, she is incredibly dumb.
"Hotaru!" Mikan cried. Sumire just laughed.
A picture of guests trying to flip her skirt and act perverted towards her appeared.
Hotaru continued. "In fact, she was so dumb, she did not notice what some of the guests were doing to her. I already banned them from coming again, but you need to look out for yourself Mikan, you can't keep relying on Hyuuga."
Mikan frowned. "What does Natsume have too do with this?"
A picture of the guests hair, on fire appeared.
"In case you don't know, Hyuuga was the one who got rid of the perverts for you. That's why they all left." Hotaru explained in a bored tone.
Sumire was shocked. "What? You mean Natsume-kun went to see her? How can that be?"
"Yeah, both he and Luca-pyon came to see me. I was really surprised." Mikan said.
Sumire began to sob.
"This wasn't really a big deal. What I want to talk to you about was this." A picture of Mikan and Natsume kissing appeared.
Sumire screamed. Nonoko and Anna gasped. Misaki patted a blushing Mikan on the back.
Sumire stood on her chair, shouting. "How could you harass him like that Sakura! My poor Natsume-kun must be so traumatized!"
Mikan leaped onto her own chair, shouting back, "I did not harass him curly! That perverted jerk took advantage of me when I fell on top of him!"
Sumire didn't listen. She activated her alice and lunged at Mikan, yelling, "Die!"
Baka! Baka! The two noisy girls were sent flying once again, crashing into the wall. How nostalgic.
Hotaru polished the Baka Gun. Anna and Nonoko screamed. Misaki wasn't sure whether to laugh or not.
Hotaru took a peach out of nowhere and began to eat, as she watched Mikan and Sumire crawl back their seats, moaning. She pointed at the kissing picture and said, "Since Hyuuga is not a stranger to you, I won't stop him from coming back, though I did fine him."
"Hotaru, please ban him from coming, what if he harasses me again?" Mikan whined.
Hotaru pressed a button on the remote control, and the television sank back into the hole in the floor. "Then don't be so dumb next time. This will be a good chance for you to become smarter. If that's even possible."
Nobody said anything, they were too tired. Hotaru was already walking out of the room. She turned to the hosts one last time.
From now on, you will all be very popular at school, so be careful. Don't forget that while you are in public, you are like a walking advertisement for the club. Do not act dumb. More guests equals more money. Understand?"
Everyone nodded, slowly rising to their feet.
Hotaru nodded. "Good. Last person to leave, turn of the lights. Or else I'll charge you for the electricity bill."
With that, Hotaru turned on her heel and left, still munching on her peach.
