I had followed Kyoya away from where Tamaki was now trying to teach Haruhi host manners.
"Kyoya, I have a question." I said, looking at him as I blink. Dumb contacts.
He was scribbling something in his ledger, but he glanced up at me, "Yes, Kamiko?"
I scowled, "Don't call me Kamiko. You said that the host club caters to each desire of each guest, right? I understand that, the twins have sensual brotherly love, Mori is quiet but has Honey with him most of the time and honey is the boy Lolita, the adorable one. Tamaki is the flirty one, the king. But I heard him call you the cool one, and I don't understand. I haven't seen you sitting with guests, you don't strike me as a host type. So why are you a host?"
He shut the ledger and gave a half smirk, "That's a long story, for another time. But if you would like to see me in action as a host, all you have to do is request me, and I'd be happy to oblige."
My cheeks felt warm, and I knew I was blushing, "Show off! I wouldn't request you in a million years!" I replied tensely, finally getting the redness to leave my cheeks.
"Actually, Tamaki would be the show off in the club, I'm just here to handle his ideas." He replied simply, not seeming to notice my moment of embarrassment.
That's when my gaze caught on Tamaki, who was sitting depressed in a corner, with Haruhi standing there looking guilty.
"Speaking of Tamaki…" I said.
Kyoya and I walked over as Haruhi said, "Uh, I'm sorry, Tamaki-Senpai."
The twins laughed and put their hands on Haruhi's head.
"You're a hero alright." One of the said, to which the other quickly agreed.
"What did you say, Haruhi, to make him so upset?" I asked her quietly.
Kaoru answered me, "She told him he was Obnoxious."
In that instant Tamaki seemed even more depressed, so Haruhi quickly said, "I'm sorry Senpai, but your lesson did strike a small chord with me."
I noticed Honey and Mori watching from where they sat behind us.
Tamaki stood up, turning around and back in his radiant mood, "Really, it did? Let me teach you more, my friend!" He reached out a hand in a 'I'm so generous' gesture.
"Well he got over that quick…" I murmured.
"Boss?" Hikaru asked.
"Call me king!" Tamaki said, still cheerful.
Hikaru continued, "You can teach him all the basics of hosting…"
And Kaoru continued, "But he's not going to get very far with the ladies if he doesn't look the part, you know." He reached to take off Haruhi's glasses. "He's not exactly host club material but… Maybe if we took off his glasses it would help."
He slid off Haruhi's glasses and immediately the twins both froze, looking at Haruhi's face. Mori, Honey, Kyoya, and I slid into view to see as well, though I knew what she looked like without glasses.
"Hey I need those! I used to have contacts but I lost them on the first day of school!" Haruhi complained.
Tamaki ran forward and pushed the twins out of the way, gazing at Haruhi with wide eyes, a shocked expression on his face.
He snapped his fingers, "Hikaru, Kaoru."
The twins came together and saluted, "Got it!" They dragged Haruhi out of the room.
"Where are you taking him?" I asked, eyes wide, but was ignored.
Tamaki pointed at Kyoya next, who already had his cellphone out and was dialing a number, "Kyoya, My hair stylist!"
The girls were all staring at us, as Tamaki pointed at Mori, "Mori-Senpai, go to the eye doctor and get him some contact lenses." I watched Mori run off.
Then he pointed at me, "Kamiko, Brace yourself to see a whole new, handsome brother!"
I paused, about to reply when Honey-Senpai spoke, "What about me, Tama-Chan?!"
Tamaki lowered his pointing finger to point at Honey. "Honey Senpai."
"Yes Sir!" Honey replied, eyes wide with enthusiasm.
"You… go have some cake." Tamaki said, for lack of any orders.
Poor Honey, he sadly went to sit at a table to eat cake, and I felt bad he was so disappointed. But then again, I didn't really have an order either.
I headed after the twins and haruhi.
When I got to the changing rooms, I heard them all scuffling inside one, and I waited.
I could hear the twins chanting "Change! Change! Change!"
"OKAY FINE I'LL CHANGE BUT YOU TWO HAVE TO GET OUT!" I heard Haruhi yell.
I watched the twins be thrown out and hop three times to catch balance. They both looked at me, and then both looked at themselves. Now they realized that Haruhi and I were girls.
Soon the rest of the hosts joined us, Honey sitting still and having a bunch of empty plates in front of him that used to have cake on them.
I stood by Kyoya, and then the twins, and then Tamaki, and then closer to the table where Honey sat with Usa-Chan was where Mori stood.
"Um… Senpai?" I heard Haruhi finally speak, after we waited forever for her to get changed. I knew they had given her a haircut, contact lenses, and a uniform.
"Aren't you done changing yet?" Tamaki-Senpai asked.
She slowly pulled back the curtain to reveal her in the uniform. We looked a lot alike now that she wasn't in those grubby clothes, especially since we both had contacts, but my brown hair was a darker, more of an ash brown color, and my eyes weren't brown but were a dark blue/grey. Plus the fact I was a year older, and taller.
Tamaki got all emotion, "Cute! You're as pretty as a girl! Adorable!" He said, tears running down his cheeks as he fantasized.
"Haru-Chan you look so cute!" Honey-Senpai gushed.
"If we had known that's how you really look…" Hikaru began.
"We would have helped you out sooner!" Kaoru finished.
Kyoya spoke, "Who knows? Perhaps with both Kamiko and Haruhi, they'll draw in some customers."
I knew the uniforms were expensive, around ¥300,000 if I'm not wrong, so I was dreading having to repay Kyoya.
Tamaki put on a charming look, "You know, that's just what I was thinking." We all knew he was lying. I think he might like Haruhi, even if he didn't know she's a girl, so he wanted to see her look good. No one cared when I was made a host, other than Kyoya, and now Haruhi is looking like a cute host and Tamaki is all over her.
Tamaki pointed at Haruhi, "Our Errand boy is moving up the ranks. Starting today you're an official member of the hosts club. I will personally train you to be a first rate host, just as I did today with Kamiko by letting him watch me in action. If you both can get one hundred customers to request your service, we will completely forget about your eight million yen debt."
I went pale. A hundred? Each?!
"A Host?!" Haruhi asked, almost as distressed as I was when I first became a host.
Kyoya spoke up, "I know three girls who would be happy to be your first guests, Haruhi. As for you, Kamiko, you have been requested by two other girls, if you'd follow me I'd be happy to take you to them."
I sighed as the hosts all dispersed, and Haruhi and I followed Kyoya.
I wasn't quite sure how to pull off being a host, but I was the listening one, right? So all I had to do was be charming and listen to them, and answer any questions they had…
This would be a long day.
