Chapter 4! Woohoo! Finally Eyrie gets to meet the others! About time right? Also there is something I want to clarify. In the manga Honey really does want to be close to Chika and he is protective of him but he keeps his distance for the sake of Chika's feelings. I felt that this wasn't very stressed in the anime so I just wanted to say something in case those of you who only saw the anime were wondering why Hunny is so friendly with Chika. I want to give a big thank you to Mysteriousity1 (my brethren in Sherlock love), ERidge17, and PridePrejudiceandCake for the reviews. You guys are awesome! Anyway, Enjoy!

Host club?! They still have those here?! Wait they have one at a school? Well this is a rich kids school, they do weird stuff...still! I guess this explains why all the girls hate me; Tamaki has devoted all his time to giving me a tour of the school. He hasn't really complimented anyone else as far as I know. I wonder if I can slip away quickly before he has the chance to drag me there...

Eyrie's thoughts raced behind her blank mask. The teacher was jotting things down on the board while giving a monotone lecture on world history. Tamaki looked over from his frantic scribbling to see Eyrie simply leaning back without taking notes.

"Hey," Tamaki whispered. "You should take notes. He usually bases his tests on his lectures."

Eyrie looked over at him with her brow slightly furrowed. "And he bases his lectures on the textbook. The last five minutes held all of page 275."

Tamaki's face dropped as he looked around at all of the students who were all jotting down notes. "Oh um. Well...we hardly ever use the book so-"

" !"

Tamaki's head whipped around to the front of the classroom where the teacher was looking at him with a face red with anger.

"I understand that you want to make Miss Omorfie feel welcome here but now is not the time! And Miss Omorfie! Would you care to tell the class why it is you are not taking any notes?"

Eyrie looked at him calmly and replied, "There is no need. Though I do apologize if it seemed as though we were ignoring you. We were simply commenting on your lecture. You are quite good; you have obviously honed your skills to perfection."

The teacher's face went from angry red to a light shade of pink as he puffed out his chest with pride. Eyrie's face hadn't changed from its blank mask but something about her words made him feel like he had been handed a golden apple.

"Yes well I have worked here for 10 years."

"Really? Extraordinary."

He huffed for a moment before returning to the board, putting a noticable amount of effort into his words. Eyrie started to lean back in her chair when she felt someone's eyes upon her. She turned to her left to find Tamaki staring at her with wide eyes filled with childish wonder.

"How did you do that?!" he whispered frantically. Eyrie simply pointed to the board, reminding him he should be taking notes. He started to scribble frantically, trying to catch up.

Maybe he isn't a snob maybe he's just...an idiot.

Haruhi stretched out of her chair in her classroom.

I'm glad that's done.

"Come on Haruhi! We don't want to miss host club today! We'll get to meet the violent hag!" the twins cried, trying to carry her out of the classroom.

"Hey! Let go of me you guys, I can walk on my own!"

The twins let her go and watched impatiently as she gathered her books at a leisurely pace.

The violent hag. Thats right. I had forgotten. Haruhi thought as she gathered her things.

After the incident in the hall at lunch the rumors had escalated drastically. Many of the girls were saying that when one of the girls went up to her to be her friend the new girl had gotten her with a judo throw because the girl was prettier than her.

Why can't the rumors here ever be normal? Haruhi thought to herself as she and the twins made their way to the club room.

"Takashi?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you think the new girl is really as awful as they're saying she is?"

"Don't know."

"I hope not...it'd be sad if we can't be friends with her."

"Yeah."

"Alright Miss Omorfie if you'll just wait out here for a moment we have to get dressed then we'll welcome you host club style!" Tamaki announced flamboyantly before bounding into the room, careful not to open the door to much. Kyoya followed at a less enthused pace.

Get dressed? Do they have special outfits or something? I can't imagine ...well I suppose if it profits him. Eyrie sighed slightly as she stared at the door. The sign says it's a music room. Huh. Man do I hate surprises.

Suddenly the door opened to seven boys and one girl dressed as-

Eyrie faught the urge to burst into hysterical laughter as she took in seven handsome boys in full cowboy regalia. The girl was dressed in much the same as them only in a dress. Much of the boys outfits were made of cow print and leather with tassles on their forearms and legs. Their boots even had spurs.

WELCOME

Eyrie bit her lip to keep from smiling and walked into the room. Tamaki swept over to her, his heavy boots making his movements more clumsy.

"Well? What do you think? We were told that this is what cowboys wear in your country! Doesn't it make you feel right at home?"

While he was talking the other hosts and Renge, with the exception of Kyoya, all had clouds hanging over them.

This tiny wisp of a girl...is the violent hag?! All of their thoughts echoed each other.

"I would like you to meet the host club!" Tamaki exclaimed, gesturing widely at the others. They each bowed slightly as Tamaki pointed to them and said their names. "That is Hikaru and Kaoru. That is Haruhi. That's Hunny and Mori- sempai. And that is the clubs manager Renge, who will be leaving us soon. Everyone this is Eyrie Omorfie."

Eyrie looked at each in turn then bowed. "It is a pleasure to meet you all."

Hikaru and Kaoru were suddenly circling her, looking her up and down. "Well you aren't a hag and you're so tiny, you don't look like you could pick up a paper weight. And whats up with the boys uniform?"

"Starliiight kick!"

Suddenly the twins were sent flying by Tamaki who rushed over to where they landed.

"How dare you say something so hurtful to her face! You've probably cause emotional trauma! You idiots how can you be so insensitive!"

"But boss everyone was thinking it!"

While Tamaki and the twins argued Eyrie turned her attention to Hunny and Mori. She looked them up and down.

"You are Takashi Morinozuka and Mitsukuni Haninozuka right?" she asked. Hunny looked at her in surprise. Her expression stayed blank.

"Yeah. But wait how did you know our full names?" Hunny asked in his cute little voice. His eyes widened when her face suddenly relaxed into an almost smile.

"You look exactly like them. It was so easy to tell. You're Yasuchika and Satoshi's brothers right?"

The host club stopped and looked at her in surprise. Even Tamaki and the twins stopped their charades to look at her with wide eyes.

"Miss Omorfie...may I ask how you know that?" Kyoya inquired after a moment of silence.

"Oh I met them at lunch. They were rather helpful." she said, looking over at Kyoya with her nothing expression. Tamaki suddenly walked up.

"Oh yes I forgot to ask. Where did you run off to at lunch? We were worried." Tamaki asked. She looked at him blankly.

"Oh there was no need. I have a photographic memory so I couldn't get lost even if I tried." she said they were talking the club's regular guests filed in to sit in their usual areas. " I believe you have other people waiting so I supposed I will be going. It was a pleasure meeting you all."

"Oh no you must stay! You haven't had the full host club experience yet!" Tamaki exclaimed, trying to dance around but ended up tripping on his boots.

If the 'full host club experience' is anything like this morning I'll definitely pass, she thought. Suddenly the twins were holding roses in her face and looking at her with seductive, half-opened eyes.

"Oh we do wish you'd stay..." Hikaru began.

"Please princess?" they intoned together, inching closer to her. She looked at them with no expression and turned to Haruhi. She took a moment to study her then gave a slight smirk. She made sure to compose her face before approaching her, leaving the twins looking at each other in confusion.

"Haruhi Fujioka yes? You are the scholarship student." Eyrie bowed slightly. Haruhi looked at her in surprise.

I don't remember Tamaki-sempai mentioning that. And why is she bowing?!

"Um y-yes. That's me." Haruhi smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you miss."

Tamaki and the twins suddenly rushed over and picked her up, fawning. Eyrie placed one arm behind her back and an index finger to her lip. She scanned the room only to be met with hostile glares coming from all directions. She fought down the smirk that rose to her lips.

All of you can hate me as much as you want I don't want your precious host club and I doubt I could do anything to get them anyway. Why you think I can is beyond me.

The feeling of her phone vibrating broke her thoughts. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID. Glancing at the chaos of hosts around her, she figured her chances of slipping out would be easy. She silently slipped through a side door and into a room filled with tea kettles and sweets.

It must be a kitchen or something, she thought just as she was answering the call. "Hello?"

"Eyrie?! Where are you?! Why aren't you at the pick up spot? Did you get in trouble? You aren't in class right now are you?"

Eyrie sighed and covered her eyes with her hand. "No, Briar, I didn't get in trouble and no I'm not in class. and wanted to...introduce me to the host club."

The silence on the other line was deafening. Suddenly a burst of raucous laughter broke through. Eyrie held the phone away from her ear slightly and put on a bland expression.

"The host club?! They have those still?! In a highschool?! Oh my god. Take pictures! Please, PLEEEASE take pictures! I have to see this! I have to! No wonder that Suoh guy was all over you this morning!"

Eyrie's eye twitched as Briar continued to laugh hysterically. "Alright it isn't that funny! I'm going to be stuck here awhile so I'll call you when it's all over okay?"

"Pfftt. Host club. That's priceless. Yeah ok, whatever. See ya."

Eyrie hung up and sighed. She didn't want to be rude but she didn't how much of this ridiculousness she could take. Suddenly the door opened to admit a slightly rumpled Haruhi.

"Oh. I'm sorry I didn't know you were in here." Haruhi said in surprise. Eyrie pushed off the wall she was leaning on.

"There is no need for you to apologize. This is your club after all; I am the intruder. I was just looking for a quiet place to take a call." Eyrie said with her usual nothing expression. "I'm sorry but now that we are alone may I ask you something?"

"Huh? Oh of course."

"Excuse me if I'm prying but...is there any particular reason you are hiding the fact that you're a girl?"

Haruhi's face pulled back into a look of horror and surprise. "I-I don't know what you mean princess..."

Eyrie studied her face and sighed. "Oh well. I was simply curious. Don't worry I won't mention it to anyone else, though its obvious the host club knows."

With that she strode past Haruhi and out the door. Haruhi immediately started to lean on a counter with shadows hanging around her, trying to catch her breath.

How could she have figured something like that out? This only her first day. We just met! Haruhi's thoughts raced as she gathered tea for the customers. She walked out to find all the other hosts occupied with their customers and most of the customers occupied fawning over Renge's dress, which she was showing off. Tamaki was dragging Miss Omorfie to his table. Even though she was expressionless Haruhi wondered if maybe she was a little annoyed with the whole situation. Suddenly Tamaki snapped his fingers and called for her. She sweat dropped and started over to his table reluctantly.

"Miss Omorfie you remember Haruhi. Isn't he an inspiration? He is a symbol to all poor people with no hope! He shows them that they can achieve beauty!" Tamaki cried as he sparkled. Haruhi's eyebrow twitched as she watched him. Haruhi glanced over at Eyrie, expecting her to be following Tamaki's every movement with a look of awe. Haruhi's eyes widen in surprise when, instead, she saw Eyrie's ridged posture and white knuckled fists. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was pursed shut. When Tamaki finished his long winded speech she opened her eyes and composed her face.

"Being a commoner has nothing to do with it." Eyrie stated with a nothing expression. Only her white knuckled fists showed her true emotions. "You make it sound as if, since he is a commoner, it is amazing he even has the smarts to get into this school. You say that he shows others that commoners can achieve beauty. Are you saying that beauty cannot be achieved unless someone is helped along by a school such as this? Did it never occur to you that people have a different perspective of beauty? A humble plumber who comes home to his loving wife and children; has he not achieved beauty?"

She delivered her speech in monotone and by the time she was done all of the hosts and customers had gathered to listen. While the hosts were sitting there in shock, many of Tamaki's customers were red with anger. One of them stood and started to speak.

"How dare you, you b-"

Suddenly the door to music room 3 swung opened to admit an out of breath Satoshi and Yasuchika.

"Taka! We need you to do us a favor and-" Satoshi stopped short when he saw Eyrie. Suddenly he was right by her side with his hands folded under his chin, his backside wagging like a dogs. "Oh Eyrie-sempai! We didn't know you were coming to the club today! What a nice surprise!"

Yasuchika rolled his eyes and strode over to where Eyrie was now standing. He inclined his head in a way of greeting. "Miss Omorfie."

"Satoshi. Yasuchika. I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to see your brothers?" she asked with a slightly softened expression on her face. She reached out and patted them both on the head. The host held their breaths, waiting for Chika to explode at the childish gesture. They were shocked when he simply blushed. Satoshi grinned widely at her.

"Yea! We gotta ask the host club something!" he looked past her and finally noticed the audience they had. Many of the girls were still red faced but it was the one that had been cut off that caught Satoshi's attention. She was the one that had bummed into Eyrie in the hall. "Hey-"

"Chikaaaa!"

Everyone looked over to see Hunny floating over to Chika with a big smile on his face.

"You came to see me?!" he asked with a giggle. While he was speaking Kyoya ushered the customers and Renge, who wanted to watch the drama unfold, out before anyone noticed. Yasuchika shook with anger and a vein popped out on his forehead.

"No way! Why would I want to see you, you freak?"

"YAAASUUUCHIIIKAAA!"

Satoshi brought down his shinai on Chika's head. "Don't talk to your brother like that! How disrespectful! Apologize!"

"Ahh! Stupid Satoshi! Where'd you get that thing!"

Suddenly Yasuchika's eyes were brimming with tears and baby chicks floated around his head the way flowers floated around Hunny.

"That's it. Stupid Satoshi. I hate you! Why are you so mean!"

Satoshi stopped hitting and a frantic look passed over his face. "Wait, uh, I didn't mean it...don't cry..."

The hosts all sweat dropped as they watched the two. Suddenly Chika remembered that they were there and quickly regained his composure.

"Mitsukuni! Prepare yourself!" Yasuchika suddenly launched himself at Hunny in a flying kick. The two fought for a moment, the battle ending with a victory for Hunny. Chika made a noticable lack of effort in the battle and shrugged off the defeat.

"Ah. The Haninozuka style of fighting. I see. So it is simply anything goes? Is it some sort of family tradition to fight upon seeing a family member? You didn't try very hard Yasuchika; whatever you two have to say to your brothers must be urgent."

The hosts turned in surprise to look at Eyrie. They had forgotten she was there. Chika simply dusted himself off and turned to her.

"Yes, that is basically my family's special style of fighting. We fight whenever we meet to keep your skills honed and our senses alert at all times. So yes I suppose it is a tradition of sorts. Also, though you didn't necessarily ask, yes it is a bit urgent."

Eyrie nodded, nothing expression back in place. Suddenly she turned to Tamaki.

"I apologize if my words earlier seemed a bit harsh. I suppose that is a sore subject for me. I'm sorry." she bow slightly.

"Oh um, it's fine." Tamaki said, flustered. Then, energized by her apology, he started dancing around. "Besides you are correct! We should look for every kind of beauty there is to be had! Why limit ourselves to our looks! Oh that reminds me."

He suddenly stood directly in front of her and twirled. "You never told us how much you liked our outfits. Aren't they darling? Do they wear these often where you come from? I'm sure the cowboys are the talk of every event!"

Eyrie looked him up and down. "Well... in America we don't necessarily have cowboys like this anymore. We have...country boys. By the way . Would you and your club mind posing for a picture?"

Tamaki, who had immediately gone into his dejected pose in the corner upon hearing that there were no cowboys, suddenly brightened. "But of course princess!"

He and the other hosts (with the exception of Haruhi and Kyoya) posed dramatically while she raised her phone to capture the moment. She quickly sent it to Briar while Chika and Satoshi looked over her shoulder.

"Thank you. I suppose I should-" she was interrupted by her cell vibrating frantically in her palm. Without looking at the caller ID she answered. "Hello?"

"OH MY GOD!"

The hosts jumped in surprised as a loud yell was emitted from the tiny speaker in her phone. Eyrie simply held the phone away from her ear with a bored expression, as if she dealt with it every day.

"DO YOU SEEE THEM?! WHAT ARE THEY WEARING?! OH GOD. THIS IS GREAT. THIS IS GOING ON THE INTERNET. THEIR COSTUMES LOOK LIKE HALLOWEEN GET-UPS! BAHAHAHA!"

"Briar you are very loud. Can we talk about this when I get home?" Eyrie said. When she realised he was laughing too hard to answer she simply hung up. She looked over at the host club who had clearly heard Briar making fun of them. "I'm very sorry. He can be...an idiot. I had better get home. Yasuchika and Satoshi still have something to tell you. It was a pleasure meeting all of you and thank you for introducing me to your delightful club."

"No..problem." Tamaki said. Eyrie turned and strode out the door without a backward glance.

"Aww we didn't get to know why she's wearing a boys uniform!" the twins whined.

"She said that it was because she felt more comfortable in it." Kyoya stated pushing up his glasses. "In any case. Satoshi. Yasuchika. What was so urgent?"

The two boys suddenly straightened to a very formally looking stance.

"We have a request." Satoshi stated seriously. All the hosts looked at each other and shrugged.

"You remember the girl who was standing, yelling at Eyrie-sempai when we came in?"

All the hosts nodded in unison.

"We would like to request that...that she be band from the host club!"

So she finally got a look at the host club! ...Why do I get the feeling she wasn't impressed? Also PridePrejudiceandCake, I would welcome a review of any length! Big or small! So don't hold back! ERidg17, I love them as a pair! I saw the anime and thought Chika was cute but then I read the manga and thought that Satoshi made him even more endearing! Myseriousity1, for me it was Sherlock Holmes and Lord of the Rings. Best bedtime story ever! Also I want to hear who you think Eyrie would be good for! Now that you know a little about her chararcter who do you see her with? (Though if any of you say Tamaki I will have to request that you have a mental evaluation AND an eye exam) Anyway, Thanks for reading!
