I'm finally over with semester exam! And I just realized that I haven't updated this for a while! Hopefully I can update more chapters now. ^w^
Haruhi took a deep breath and tried to relieve her build up tension. It was not as successful as she have thought and turned to Alice, "You…. Ready?"
The brunette looked at her companion and gave a nervous smile, "When will I ever be ready?" Nodding their head they knocked on the door to the Student Council's room.
"Please come in," a man's voice was heard from the room and the two girls opened the door.
Remember I am a man, right now… Act manly! Although it was her first time ever acting as a young man, Alice had many men surrounding her to take reference from. It was not a problem; she will somehow pull it off.
Showing the best manly smile, Alice greeted the man in front of her, "Hello this is the Host clu-."
"Yes, yes you are the Women's Beautifying club right? I have been waiting babies. You two are like angels that have blinded me through your shining graces. I, Yatoh Ryuuji, will do anything for you beautiful ladies," a tall, light brown haired man walked over to the two girls in disguise and each planted a kiss on their hand. Instantly, Alice felt goose bumps appearing all over her arms and fought the urge to kick the man and wash her hand.
Noticing that Alice's smile was twitching into a slight frown, Haruhi moved in to talk to the supposed Student Council President, "Uhhh sorry, but we are not the Beautifying club. We are the host club."
Ryuuji, the only student council member in the room, laughed, "Now don't joke around cuties. I know you are only trying to be humorous and get my attention. Host club is that filthy place where only mongrels who are itching to touch women are gathering. No way can you gorgeous ladies can…" He slowly moved his eyes to their pants, the uniform for men. Dropping his jaw, his fingers shook to point towards the obvious uniform.
Alice nervously smiled and scratched her head, "Um yeah, so we are men."
Frozen for a minute, Ryuuji just stared at the pants the girls wore. His brain was not processing in the usual way and an awkward silence engulfed the air. The two girls made an eye contact to each other and gulped, not knowing what to do. Just when Haruhi was about to walk over and give a light tap on the shoulder, Ryuuji shouted in agony, "NOOOOOO! How can this be? You two are m-m-m-men?"
"Yes…" The two answered in quiet unison.
With this, Ryuuji drastically brought out a disinfectant and started wiping his mouth with his brand name handkerchief, "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. I just touched a man's hand with my lips! Ew yuck. My mouth just got contaminated!"
Alice suppressed her urge to roll her eyes. Well that's a very friendly reaction, "Well excuse me, but were my hands that dirty?"
Turning to the foreigner, Ryuuji stated in a loud voice, "YES BECAUSE IT WAS FROM A MAN." "Ugh, what do you want anyways get out of this place now," he shivered as goosebumps started to appear from his arms.
Calm down….I…cannot let out my temper when I already came this far.
Trying not to show her pissed off mood, Alice smiled pleasantly and tried to act cute as possible. If this was not going to work then so be it; she would use brute force to make this guy obey her.
"Does that mean….you don't like us anymore?" Alice lowered her head down and raised her eyes into a puppy dog gaze. It was all thanks to the good examples of Dee and Dum persistently demanding her to play, but not in a way for her to get annoyed. Haruhi saw the change of behavior in her friend and did the same thing as she stated in the cutest voice she could possibly make, "And here we thought that we finally got to see you…in person."
"W-Well I-." It was obvious that Ryuuji's face was getting redder and his heart beating wildly by the angelic beautiful faces staring and pleading to him. How could he react like this with guys? Is he gay? This was not possible. Ever since he was born, Ryuuji knew that he was straight and acted accordingly as a renowned women lover.
Trying to force himself from having these irrational reactions, Ryuuji attempted to reject, but Alice spoke assertively and messed up his train of thought, "We heard that you were a very nice president so we just wanted to see you , but…I guess we were too ugly…."
Ryuuji gulped by the beauty standing in front of him. It was not a matter of man or woman; beautiful is beautiful and he will embrace it, "N-No! Absolutely not! Moreover, you two are in the level of Valhalla in terms of beauty. I could never possibly think of you as ugly."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Alice forced back the urge to smile contemptuously as she reeled herself a step closer to the man, "Then can you also do us a favor?"
Haruhi spoke, "I-I heard that our club was going to be shut down so I…got really worried. Of course, since you are the very nice and kind student council president so you will not let that happen right?"
Now caught into the trap set by the two girls, Ryuuji announced loudly, "Where did you even hear that? I will never fail you, my loves. I will make an oath to myself and also to you two that I will never break this promise."
Alice and Haruhi both smiled deviously and shouted, "Alright. Did you hear that?"
"Yep definitely heard it and recorded it. Good work," from behind the window, Kyoya, Vivaldi, and the other host club members came into the student council room.
Tamaki rushed into hug Haruhi and spat at Ryuuji, "You bastard don't get close to Haruhi with your creepy aura!"
Vivaldi also hugged Alice and kicked away Ryuuji, "And don't get close to Alice too, you filthy man!"
"What the- How rude! Who are you people to barge into the student council room!"
Kyoya stepped in front of Ryuuji and showed his evil smirk, "We are the members from host club. We have gotten the information that you were planning to shut down the club so we came to confirm some things with you."
Ryuuji felt a surge of coldness running down his spine, but still managed to retaliate, "Ha! And you think I will change my mind? Never!"
Still retaining his smile, Kyoya brought a video camera and put it in front of Ryuuji's face, "Well, that's too bad. You even made an oath to yourself to never break the promise right?"
"T-That video!" It was the image of him vowing to Alice and Haruhi just a few seconds a go. From the sidelines it looked like he was professing his love to two guys.
Ryuuji gawked at the recorded image and flailed his hands to grab the video camera. Kyoya swiftly pulled it away from Ryuuji and pretended as if he was wondering, "I wonder to where should I send this? The internet? The entire student body? Or maybe…broadcast it on the news….That is if you are willing to cooperate with us."
It was already bad that he made that oath to the host club member and if he this video spread to the world everyone would ridicule him. Frightened, Ryuuji asked, "W-What do you want me to do?"
"Don't bother with us and double our club expense budget."
Ryuuji nodded his head, it was not an impossible request and he really needed to destroy the record, "A-Alright. I'll do it so delete that video." He reached for the video from Kyoya's hand, but Kyoya's smile widened and put the device in his pocket.
"I'll keep this video as insurance. Is there any problem with that?"
The shadow king of the host club smiled to creepily to be called pleasant as Ryuuji shook in fear and defeat, "No…"
Alice looked at the two men and suppressed her shiver. It was a good thing that Kyoya was not her enemy. The man with glasses turned around to look at the foreigner. He had a refreshing aura around him as if he let out all his stress he was building up, "Ok, problem settled. Thank you for your cooperation, Alice. You did a splendid job back there. By any chance would you like to become member of the Ouran high school host club?"
"Uh, no thank you…." If possible Alice did not even want to stay next to Kyoya even a second.
Having a slightly disappointed look, Kyoya pulled out a golden key from his pocket, "That's a pity. Well then, here is the key that you wanted."
Looking at the reward, Alice immediately grabbed it and let out a triumphant yell, "Yes!" With this, one less lost Wonderland resident is gone.
"Are you leaving already, Alice?" Alice turned around to see Haruhi wearing a slightly sad expression. In truth, she was also sad to leave. Haruhi seemed like the first normal friend she ever made. If she was able to spend more time with her, they could have even been best friends.
Smiling sadly, Alice offered her hand to her friend, "Yeah, it's kind of sad to leave you, Haruhi."
Haruhi shook hands and smiled, "Me too, but still it was nice meeting you. Take care."
"Thanks." They looked at each other for some time and Alice turned around to escape from the bitter lingering feeling.
"Alright now I only have to find Vivaldi and Jim-."
She looked around for her whale companion. "Oh yeah….where did Jimmy go?" Thinking back, she never saw Jimmy once she entered the Host club. There was a possibility that he might be lost somewhere in this gigantic school.
"If thou are looking for that stupid looking whale then he is having a good time with those girls," Vivaldi eyed at the Host club room and Alice walked and entered the room.
Her eyes widened and soon turned into a utter disappointment. She couldn't even find the strength to sigh anymore, "Jimmy…."
Jimmy sat on the soft leathered top quality sofa surrounded by rich ladies all cuddling up to him with adoring expressions. The whale slurped on raspberry ice tea before setting it aside and turned to look at his companion, "Oh heya, Alice. Having a chillin' time?"
Narrowing her eyes, she shooed the girls away and stared at Jimmy, "What about your façade of being a stuffed animal?"
"Oh that? Well….ya'll know sometimes it's a lot easier to just be who ye are," Jimmy laughed sheepishly and avoided Alice's accusing gaze.
"So that means you got too lazy to act as a doll and revealed your unnatural existence to people from this world?"
"W-well you can say that…but hey! They don't seem to mind at all! I told them that I'm a robot that looks like a whale!"
Jimmy's explanation was a hard one to prove; nonetheless Alice decided to let it go. She wanted to hurry and move on to the next world. "Fine then….Jimmy take us back home." Alice brought out the key she had as Vivaldi walked right next to her and smiled.
Jimmy sighed in relief and replied, "Alrighty."
Xoxoxoxoxoxo
Alice felt her feet touch the solid ground and opened her eyes slowly, "Ok, so are we back in Wonderland?" From her speculations, it didn't seem like they were in Wonderland. Buildings with different designs showed the peaceful lifestyles of people living in this world. It was similar to Bleach yet very different at the same time.
Jimmy looked at the guide for a long time and answered, "No, we're not. I didn' want another ruckus like last time so I only sent that arrogant queen back to Wonderland while we came to the next world." Alice finally realized that Vivaldi was not there beside her and nodded her head in understanding. Although Vivaldi was not like Peter, she was the type of person who didn't care about other roleholders. She would, without a doubt, urge me to stay in Wonderland.
"So which world are we in?"
"Take a look at yourself," Jimmy handed the guide to her.
She read the words on the guide and frowned, "Katekyou Hitman Reborn?" Great….another ridiculous name.
Finally on to the next world. That was such a long stay -_-
