Chapter 5
The Host Club stared at the woman in disbelief.
"A manager?" Kakashi scoffed carelessly.
"She must think we are idiots or something," Takashi said, turning his back and lifting his head slightly.
"We are idiots," Toga said casually and fell to the floor as his brothers tackled him playfully, yelping as they did.
Ichigo brushed some of the hair from his eyes and turned around. "A proper working manager would be beneficial. It could help if done properly – unlike last time…"
Renge scowled at Ichigo and shook her head. "I did do it properly, to the end," Renge wiped a tear from her eye as she reminisced about her time as a manager of the host club. "The host club was something more precious to me then anything."
"We don't need a manager!" Annette cut into the conversation.
"No way!" Moka agreed on her right.
"Yeah, a manager would just weigh down the club," spoke Rukia from the left.
"But…" Miss Renge tried to interject.
"No buts," Kaito said as he lifted his hand to silence her. "I know who sent you but there is no way, I'm going to let someone ruin this club."
"I am sorry, but the chairman has decided that this club needs a manager," Miss Renge said sternly as she put her foot down causing the platform to shake below her.
The rest of the club just sighed in frustration and anger except for a very confused Sakura. "What's happening?" She asked Kakashi.
"You don't want to know," he whispered back in her right ear.
"Kaito with his daddy issues," Takashi whispered in her other ear.
Toga whispered from behind her. "I'm afraid this goes a long way back."
Then they heard a loud ringing bell, a message saying it was time to go home.
The triplets jumped with joy and smiled together. "We are saved by the bell!"
"Not so fast," Miss Renge said in complete seriousness. "Tomorrow I will find you a manager."
Kaito shot her a final look as he walked out with Annette. "Not if I can help it!" The rest of the club just groaned and collapsed on the floor – Kazuya, Raiko, and Ichigo still sat on their chairs and Sakura was leaning against the wall.
"Daddy issues?" Sakura asked Takashi, who was sprawled across the floor with his brothers half on top, half beside.
"Nevermind," Kakashi said as he clamped a hand over Takashi's lips.
None of the club could look her in the eyes, and an awkward silence and tension filled the room.
Raiko stood up with Kazuya. "We will start looking for a manager tomorrow." The rest of the club just looked at him in complete silence. "No matter how we look at the situation at hand, the chairman's word is final. We shall start tomorrow. Kakashi, Takashi, and Toga, start spreading the word. Tomorrow we shall find ourselves a manager."
"What about the boss?" Kakashi said blankly. "Isn't he supposed to… I don't know… Make these decisions?"
"Who died and made you boss, Raiko?" Takashi snapped at him.
"A new manager?" Toga sadly added. "Fine… whatever you say."
Ichigo stood up and collected his things. "We shall get ourselves a manager. Be here at lunchtime, everyone got that?" The rest of the club nodded and left for home.
30 minutes later
Sakura walked up to her house and opened her front door.
As she walked in, she saw little Keeto crawling around with Nami watching him from the couch. She was laughing at him, as he got two pot lids and started to bang them together; Keeto was having so much fun.
"Hey," Nami smiled at her. "How was that Host Club?" Nami giggled to her as Saukra walked past.
"It was fine," Sakura said as she walked over and collapsed on the couch. "By orders of that chairman, we need to get ourselves a manager."
"Sounds reasonable," Nami sighed, stretching her arms and legs on the couch beside her.
"I don't know." Sakura got up and picked Keeto up. She smiled at him and started to rock him, back and forth. "Everyone seemed on edge when Miss Renge came. Even Raiko didn't like the idea." She smiled as she met Keeto's brown eyes.
"Mind telling me who Raiko is?" Nami looked at her sister with concern.
"Raiko Haninozuka," Sakura answered as she sat down with Keeto. "He looks like a middle school guy even though he isn't. I don't actually know much about him really… I don't even know why he has that patch over his eye."
"Haninozuka…" Nami said, thinking out loud. "Where have I heard that name before?"
Suddenly a familiar voice filled the air from behind their door. "So this is where she lives."
"What a small place," another familiar voice said at the door.
"I wonder whether we are allowed inside…" The penny dropped and Sakura's eyes bulged in complete horror when she realized who those voices belonged to.
"No, no, no!" She ran to the door with baby Keeto in her arms and swung it open. There was the Host Club, smiling at her.
"Hello!" They chimed in unison. "We thought we might pay you a visit."
Sakura was in complete shock. "How did you know where I live…?"
