Out of all the experience Alice ever had, give and take situations were bad, really bad. She always had to be involved in something troublesome and the ones who offered these were usually plotting something. Normally she would have said no, but that was not an option right now. Gulping, she prepared for the worst possible situation and asked, "So…what is this thing that you want me to help out?"
Kyoya smiled and replied, "I want you and Haruhi to be the representative of the club."
All the club members looked at the bi-shounen called Haruhi and Alice also looked at her in surprise, "….HUH?"
Tamaki startlingly hugged Haruhi as if to protect her from the evil black demon with glasses, "W-What are you saying all of a sudden Kyoya? Have you gone out of your mind? We are HOST CLUB. If we send those two out to be the representative the club then we will attract guys not girls!"
Sighing, Kyoya glared at the blonde, "Tamaki, I told you before. STAY. OUT. OF. THIS." Slightly shivering, Tamaki whimpered and cowered behind Haruhi, who just sweat-dropped.
Alice looked at Kyoya turning back to his usual cool mood and stated fearfully, "…But, I'm a girl so I don't think I will be a suitable representative for the club." Although she just met Kyoya a few minutes ago, she knew that if she made one mistake, her life would be doomed.
"Don't worry, if we fix you up here and there you will be a fine host. Besides the ones I want to introduce you prefer girls than guys."
Haruhi went up to Kyoya and asked, "Um, Kyoya Sempai, so who are we exactly going to meet?"
"The new student council president."
The twins, Kaoru and Hikaru suddenly came behind and hugged Haruhi, resulting to shake Tamaki off from her, "Wait I don't get it." "Why does Haruhi and this girl have to meet with the new president?"
"Haven't you two heard of the rumor about the new president?"
"Not really." "We're not really interested in who becomes president or whatevers." The twins ignored Tamaki complaining and continued to stay closed to Haruhi. Kyoya sighed, why was his club members so ignorant or stupid?
Honey, who was playing with the girls, suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, "Usa-chan knows!" He held out his favorite bunny doll and spoke, "It's about the new president being mean to guys, but really sweet with girls. I think his name was um…..Ryuu-chan?"
Mori was next to Honey and continued, "Yatoh Ryuuji, the son of a big corporation mainly on oils and other industries. Strict with guys, but lenient on girls."
Kyoya nodded approvingly; at least he had some members that weren't so dense, although they were weird. Well, not that the other members weren't weird. "That's right. That's why clubs that only have guys such as the Macho Man club and Men's Cheerleading club are mostly crushed by him. Fortunately, we had popularity amongst the female students so he couldn't lay a finger on us, but he still has his eyes on the host club. If worst comes to worst he may force us to shut down the host club."
"That's really bad! Now I can't let my precious daughter, Haruhi, along with this beautiful lady to enter a lion's den!" Shoving the twins aside, Tamaki launched himself to hug Haruhi, but was swiftly avoided.
Smiling pleasantly, Kyoya went up to the leader of host club, "Tamaki, this is the last time or else, I will hurt you."
He pulled the blonde's ear as hard as he could as Tamaki yelped, "Ow, ow, ow, you're already hurting me!"
While watching Tamaki writhe in pain, Honey had a slightly confused look and asked, "But Usa-chan still doesn't get it. We have so much popularity among the girls so if we ask the girls to help convince the president then Haru-chan and Ali-chan don't need to go, right?" Alice looked at the short blonde with the stuffed animal weirdly. Ali-chan? When did he come up with THAT name?
Soon letting Tamaki go, Kyoya pushed up his glasses and replied, "That's right, but do you really want to let our customers to know our current danger? We are hosts from Ouran High School Host Club; our goal is to escort the ladies in gentlemen like manner not begging them to save us."
Not fully convinced, the twins hesitatingly agreed, "I guess…" "That is kind of true…."
To Haruhi, it seemed like Kyoya was still plotting something else as she immersed herself into decipher the mystery.
"Alright let's get started then," Kyoya clapped his hands and, out of nowhere, three unfamiliar figures appeared and swiftly carried Alice. Panicked at the sudden invasion, the foreigner screamed in shock, "What the f***? WOAAA!" The three people ignored her screams and quickly led her into the changing room.
The other people in the room were too shocked to move and slowly turned their head to the evil mastermind. Writing something down, Kyoya smiled almost too kindly, "Don't worry they are famous make-up artist, fashion designer, and hair stylist I have prepared from around the globe. They will make her into a handsome, beautiful man." Mostly everyone in the room shuddered at his warm smile and never dared to oppose him.
Kyoya was satisfied that his plan was going smoothly and walked towards the lady, who was sitting on the couch and drinking her tea with absolute calmness, "You don't seem that angry as I would have expected."
Vivaldi gave a cold shoulder and a glare at the calculating man, "I can wait to go back home. Plus, this development is interesting enough, but remember, if you hurt that girl, Alice, in any kind of way, your head will be immediately cut off."
There was an icy, suffocating atmosphere crowding around the two as Kyoya replied coldly, "I'll keep that in mind."
Xoxoxoxoxoxo
"We are done~ Mr. Ootori Kyoya!" The three people who were dressing Alice up came out of the changing room and exclaimed with excitement. Everyone curiously turned their head to look at the results. Alice stepped into the room with a frown on her face. Vivaldi stood up from her couch and Kyoya nodded his head in satisfaction. Everyone else gasped at the sudden change on Alice.
HIakru couldn't tear his off from the brunette and spoke in awe, "You did become beautiful and like a boy but… " Kaoru had a similar reaction, but tried to compose his face at the same time, "How should I say this… you became more feminine at the same time?"
The makeup artist proudly smiled at Alice and handed her a mirror. Looking at her reflection, indeed, she looked like a bi-shounen who could be easily mistaken as a girl. The makeup was light to emphasize her big green emerald eyes along with her smooth white skin, the wig that was a shortcut with blonde highlights was set firmly on her head, and her uniform matched perfectly to her size. Alice was both mesmerized and surprised by her own transformation and clutched the mirror even more.
Suddenly Vivaldi hugged her and exclaimed, "ALIICCEEE! You were always so cute, but you have become extremely beautiful now! Oh how I want to just eat you up!" Alice just laughed lightly. For some reason, when Vivaldi says those lines it didn't sound like a joke; she had to be careful.
Kyoya turned to the three professionals, "Well done. I wanted her to look beautiful and feminine as possible to convince the president, but still make him like a boy so he knows you are form the host club."
Alice looked at Kyoya and stated, "So you want us to seduce him."
"Technically yes."
Tamaki ran to Haruhi and desperately hugged Haruhi, "NOOOOO. I can't let my precious Haruhi to become a prostitute to a filthy guy~! Kyoya you're mean to use such underhanded methods."
"Ugh, get off of me Tamaki sempai. You're choking me," Haruhi was getting annoyed by the constant hugging attack from her blonde sempai and Kyoya was irritated of having to repeat himself.
With the most beautiful smile with a raging fire in his eyes, Kyoya asked pleasant yet ominously, "Tamaki, do you have anything to say before I kill you?"
Tamaki froze in place as Haruhi slowly backed away from the spot. Cold sweat ran down from his forehead and his hands gripped tightly, "Um…please spare me?"
"No."
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Alice sighed, "I don't know if we can really do this…"
Haruhi also had the same reaction and spoke, "Me neither, but I guess we have to do our best." The two girls dressed up as guys were walking down the hallway towards the Student Council's room. Passing students looked at them in admiration; it was like watching a piece of artwork coming alive and walking about freely. Although, in the past, many people looked at her with sheer interest of what the "foreigner" looked like, Alice was not very used to the feeling of being admired because of her beauty. It was unsettling and excruciatingly uncomfortable. She had the urge to just run away from the ogling glances from the students.
Trying to suppress her urge, Alice inhaled and answered, "Yeah I guess so."
Haruhi smiled. She felt like she had a comrade now, who she can empathize with, "I think we didn't have the time to properly introduce ourselves. I'm Haruhi."
Responding to the introduction, the brunette also smiled and shook hands, "Alice."
After several minutes of silence, Haruhi noticed Alice scrunching up her brow in distress. Haruhi contemplated for a while and spoke reassuringly, "Well even if we mess up, I will somehow convince Kyoya Sempai to give the key to you so don't put on too much pressure."
Alice looked at Haruhi in surprise and relaxed her expression, "Thanks Haruhi." She knew that it was difficult to persuade that evil four eyes, but still she was grateful for the words.
"So Alice, what is that in your hand?" Haruhi looked over to a piece of paper which Alice was holding onto.
Alice quickly put the paper behind her back and replied uneasily, "Well….it's tips on how to seduce a man. Vivaldi gave it to me…"
"Ah, that sounds like a helpful tool we can use. What does it say?"
After several minutes, Alice opened the folded piece of paper and read it unwillingly, "1. Try to always look confident. 2. Show distinct sign that you are higher in status. 3. Make them lick your shoes from time to time. 4. Step on them and proclaim your ownership on them. Etc."
Haruhi's expression grew from surprised to bizarre and soon took a step back, "Uh, ok that's some we-ird tips. I didn't know seducing a man was that hard."
Alice also laughed awkwardly, "M-Me neither."
"You sure have a unique friend."
"You do too."
Chapter 7 over~! And so Alice is still in Ouran High School Host Club (ugh I want to go the next world already~) Wasn't planning to have her stay in one world this long. Well hopefully next chapter will be the end for this world! See u next time.
