Honey gasped. This was the teacher?!
"Takeshi, this is the teacher you had for biology last year!?"
"Yeah."
Through the year she had sent cold comments toward Takeshi and his host club, and was particularly hard on him. All of the males around him were grateful though, since she took her aggression out on him and hardly on them.
"Not fun."
At first she was in shock. Pure, genuine shock.

As the twins spoke, she regained her senses, and recalled her title and what she stood for.

Kiku smirked and pushed her glasses up before nodding.

"Very well. I'll take this bet." She held out a hand to shake his, although she'd rather not, this is how you made a deal though...

"And if I lose, and you actually prove to me this club has meaning....I will come to the host club after school, and request a sitting with you." she grinned smugly at the blonde-bombshell prince of the host club, which said 'that's definitely not gonna happen!'

Unknown to Sensei Kiku or the Host Club, Headmistress Shinjiho and two females were walking sown the hallway. Their Footsteps echoed off the high ceiling and the the Shinjiho-sama's voice could be heard too. "And down this way, we have our music rooms. We have four of them, but only three of them are in use. Music Room three, is used for a special purpose." They stood in front of the door. "If you would allow me to show you..." Headmistress Shinjoho opened the door to find Sensei Kiku yelling at the Host Club boys and Honey-sempai bursting into tears.

Shinjiho gasped, her eyes wide and filled with anger. "Kiku-sensei! What is the meaning of all this? Report to my office at ONCE!" When the teacher was gone, she turned to the two females next to her, embarrassment filling her face.

"Gomenasai Reyoka-san, Mitzusaka-san. Our teachers here at Ouran aren't usually that bold. May I introduce you to the Ouran High School Host Club? They are the most popular club here at Ouran." She pointed out each of the boys to the two females. "Tamaki Suoh, Kyoya Ootori, The Hitachiin twins Karou and Hikaru, Takashi Morinozuka, Mitskuni Haninozuka, and our Honor Student Haruhi Fujioka. Boys, this is Sakura Reyoka and her niece, Ai Mitzusaka. They just finished the tour and Ai will be enrolled as soon as Reyoka and I finish the paperwork. Would you show Ai-chan a good time?" As the boys nodded, Shinjiho smiled. "Good. We will be going then."

~~~

Ai looked to her aunt. "Obasan.... Please don't leave me here! It's a host club." Sakura smiled and kissed her niece on the forehead. "You'll be fine. Have fun." The two elder women walked out of the room, and down the hallway, leaving Ai in a foreign land of boys. She didn't move, her hands fidgeting and her eyes avoiding contact with any of the boys. "Ummm..." the brunette did not know what to say to those boys.

~~~

Haruhi looked to Ai. She wasn't not pretty. About the same height as Renge, with chocolate brown hair and caramel eyes to match it. She wore a white blouse with a Light Blue Angelic Pretty Memorial Cake Skirt. Under that Haruhi thought she saw bloomers, but she wasn't sure. There were Rainbow pastel stockings and light pink tea party shoes. Ai also wore lace cuffs and a ribbon in her hair. "Senpai, did you really have to make that stupid bet?" She whispered to Tamaki. "What if the Host Club really does disband?? Did you think about that? And what about Miss Mitzusaka?? We need to get ready for opening, all the girls will be here in a half hour."

"Prejudices or not, What would the honor of this club be if we would let a lady suffer in ignorance of the true benefits that is the host club. Fear not my fellow members, for we shall prevail!" He bowed before the Male hater teacher and turned to adress the new comers....

"Ah head mistress....It is always such a joy when you come to visit, and let see, You have brought such delicate flowers!" He listened to the head teacher introduce them, giving a bow when his name was called. After the introduction was over he stepped toward the shy new girl and reached for her hand.

((note to players...see how I said reached for her hand...not he took her hand...she still has the option to refuse or accept..that way we don't force other players into action...just a rp tip for ya!))

"Ah what a pleasure it will be to have you grace our halls. Please if I may be of any service, allow me to aid you...." He smiled and gestured toward one of the few tables alerady set up.

"Please take a seat... Haruhi would you attend to this guest while the others prepare for our other guests?"

He turned to the boys and clapped his hands together..." Come now, you must hurry and help set it up, the workers are outside waiting for their commands..."

((I'm assuming they would hire people to set up their lavishness scenes...No way would they do all that work!))

"Now where's my costume....?" ((still on the unconscious teacher!))

Kyoya continued taking notes, specifically when the new girl walked into the room led by the head mistress....

"He-headmistress!" Kiku winced at the woman's scolding. Oh, if only she'd gotten a job in Lobelia's academy...

"Yes Headmistress." She left via the black magic club enterance, giving a look to her students, who pretended to hover over a spell book instead of letting her know they were watching her scold the host club.

"I'll be back....I hope." She nearly whined. If she was fired, she wouldn't be able to take care of her mother and her house...

A few minutes after she was in the headmistress's office, tapping her foot nervously and fidgeting.
Honey watched from beside Mori, he smiled a bright smile and waved to the new girl. She seemed nice and sweet, sort of like a china doll....A unique, lolita china doll. He found it funny that she was shy, and yet she dressed in such a way that could give her a lot of attention...

"Welcome, welcome~!" Honey really had nothing to do, he was waiting for the caterers to bring out cake for him.

He was already dressed up as a bandit, generic western clothing with a black handkerchief covering his mouth and black cowboy hat on his head. Mori was an indian, wearing bull skin pants and no shoes, a feather headdress and red face paint. There was a spear in his hand as well.

"Do you like sweets? We'll bring you over some! What kind would you like?"

"Well, hello there," Kaoru approached the new girl from her right.

"What have we here?" Hikaru asked, strolling up to her from her left.

"A lolita princess?" They asked together. The twins were now garbed in the outfits of deputies, complete with leather vests, beaten pants, kerchiefs around their necks, and shiny deputy stars upon their chests.

"That's something you don't see every day," Kaoru mused, smiling at her in his most charming manner.

"We've never seen one up close," Hikaru added, smiling in his most roguish manner.

"But she is a shy little thing isn't she?" Kaoru leaned in close.

"The Ouran girls' uniform will suit her quite nicely, I think. It's made for princesses, and she looks the part of a princess already. Are you going to keep wearing your hairpiece with the uniform?" Hikaru fingered it curiously. "It sure does set you apart."

Ai hesitated to take Tamaki's hand. Would her deceased parents approve of her hanging around a bunch of boys? Would she be able to get out of this exotic world once she was sucked in? Did she honestly care? A voice inside Ai told her that she'd be ok. So Ai Mitzusaka took Tamaki Suoh's hand and stepped inside the new world.

~~~

Haruhi knew what her job was so she quickly stepped into the scene. "Hello Miss Mitzusaka, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Haruhi Fujioka, and I'll be your host for the day, though you can hang out with the others." She took Ai's hand and led the lolita to a table. "I'll be right back, I have to change into my costume. Today's theme is the Wild West." As Haruhi walked to the back she mumbled something along the lines of, "I can't believe they made the female character again."

~~~

Ai sat at the table in silence until Honey-sempai came up to talk to her. Her first impression of the loli-boy was something like "is her really a high school student? He looks to be in the Elementary school." The lolita didn't say this though as she didn't wish to be rude. "Hello there! Would I like sweets? Well, I don't know right now... I might as well, since I didn't get to eat lunch." She smiled sweetly at Honey. "Would you like to join me? I'm thinking of maybe having some tea and a piece of strawberry shortcake, one of my favorites!" Before Ai got an answer from Honey, she noticed a person coming up behind her. Well, now make the two persons. Ai turned around in her chair to meet the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. When Hikaru(she guessed it was Hikaru, she couldn't tell, they were both so identically cute!) asked her the question and fingered her ribbon, Ai blushed and started to stutter. "I I- umm, I'm not a princess, really. And I don't know if I'll wear my ribbon, I usually do..." Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that she was allowed into this exciting kingdom, the boys were too cute!

~~~

Asakura Kiku waited a half hour until Kanaye Shinjiho walked into the office, her hands behind her back. "Kiku, have a seat." Shinjiho sat down in her chair. "I'm really disappointed in you. I was on a tour with a new student and her aunt. It was unsettling watching you say that to our students. The boys in the Host Club are very kind to women. I know your views, but I really did not enjoy that. I'll leave you off with a warning Asakura. If it happens again, I'll have to fire you. But I'm not going to do that today. I'm too tired and I'm still not done talking to Sakura Reyoka." Shinjiho got up and walked up to the door. Looking behind her, she said to Asakura, "I believe you have a club to supervise, my dear. You might want to go do that."(OOC: Generous Headmistress.)

Honey immediately perked up when she mentioned shortcake.

"That's my favorite too!" He cried, but it appeared that he wasn't heard, since the twins had come over and the poor, red-faced girl was double-teamed by them. He was a little bit sad that she didn't hear him, but let it slide and ran over to Takeshi, who gave him two slices of his most favorite cake.

"Thanks Takeshi!" He appreciated Takeshi always being there, and eating strawberry shortcake with him...even though he hated strawberries.

Maybe he'd have a new someone to eat strawberries with so Takeshi wouldn't have to?

He skipped over and dodged between the twins, placing down a piece of cake.

"Here you go!! Let's eat together, M'kay!?" he cheered happily

"But..but..." She couldn't get a word in edgewise, the poor girl.

She bit the inside of her cheek, trying not to freak and yell again...but didn't she know that they just hospitalized a friggin teacher?!

When she was sure the headmistress was gone, she growled and punched the wall hard. It gave a crack sound and Kiku swallowed in fear, pulling away her hand.

A crack.

Woops. It was tiny, she wouldn't notice...right?

Kiku gave a sigh and shrugged, leaving the office and heading back to her club. Boy would they be surprised when she came back through the door...

"Listen to her stammering, Hikaru. Isn't it one of the cutest things you've ever heard?" Kaoru asked, gazing down at Ai with a twinkle in his eye.

"It's close... But I would have to say that the cutest thing I've ever heard is you, Kaoru, crying out as you slept for me to save you from your nightmares," Hikaru returned.

Kaoru gasped, blushing as he looked away from Ai. "Hikaru!" He cried, embarrassed. "You promised you wouldn't tell anyone about that!"

"I'm sorry, dear brother," Hikaru murmured, tilting Kaoru's head up with a finger underneath his chin. "It is just that it is such a dear memory to me, and I relive it in my head so often, that it seemed only natural to speak of it."

Kaoru's blush deepened as he gazed into his brother's eyes. "Hikaru..."

It seemed that the twins were lost in their own world; they did not move until a workman accidentally knocked a large cactus into them.

"Oh--I'm sorry!" The workman yelled, flustered as he drew the cactus away. The cactus spines, however, remained embedded in the twins' flesh. "Here, let me help you get those out--"

"K-K-Kaoru," Hikaru squeaked out, tears leaking out of his eyes. "It hurts..."

"B-be strong, Hikaru," Kaoru returned, his face growing ever redder. "He'll get them all out soon..."

Meanwhile, more workmen were running over to help remove the spines, aware of how their salaries, positions, and even life-styles could be affected because they had harmed elite members of the Host Club and the children of affluent parents.

Tamaki went looking for his costume after seeing that the new princess was being taken care of...He went to the changing rooms looking for the costume set aside for him...he couldn't find it...

"Oh Kaouru....Hikaru...Where's my costume?" He called out to them. He saw there ws a lone ranger type costume and a indian cheif left....perhaps bags were mislabeled.

Haruhi was doing the finishing touches on her wig and costume when she heard Tamaki behind her, complaining. "Sempai, the twins decided that your costume looked great on Oshiro-sensei, so they put it on him. Hate to break it to you." She slipped on the shoes to the costume sighing softly. "I feel like an idiot in this."

~~~

"Thank you so much Haninozuka-sempai. It's really sweet of you. Yeah, let's eat the cake together." Ai smiled and gave a little giggle to the cute blonde boy. For the 1st time, she noticed the pink bunny in the crook of his arm. "Your bunny is very cute," she said. "What's it's name?? I have a few bunnies of my own..." Ai ate a small bite of the cake. But she went back to the stuttering when the twins talked to her. "Oh wow, you guys are really close, aren't you? I never had any siblings... You're really lucky to have each other..." Ai looked down into her teacup, a small tear falling into the china, making eternal ripples. "Ohmygosh, are you alright? Here, you need to sit down." Ai took two chairs from the other tables and pulled them up to the table where Honey and she were sitting. "You boys need to be more careful," She said as she plucked some of the spines out of the skin. "That has to hurt..."

~~~

"Ahhhhhh... My...My costume..." He wailed throwing his arms into the air. "The perfect picture i had created...I was to be the law and order int our princesses hearts...." He turned to the costumes and looked them over speculatively...."However, maybe now I shall be the mysterious stranger, who wanders into their hearts aimlessly to be lost within their souls... I shall give love to those who seek my aid...." He was quick to cry but even quicker to change his tune. He donned the lone ranger costume and came out to find that most of the decorations were being finished, minus one accident with a cactus of course.

"Ah the world I had envisioned. Such was the vision I had seen when I saw those photos of the wild west upon my desk....."

Mori had walked into the changing room after making sure that Huni was situated with Ai. When he saw Haruhi dressed up he pat her head gently with his big hand.

"Looks good on you."
Honey winced in smpathy for his friends.
"Poor Hika-chan, Kao-chan..."

He fed himself, then his bunny, then himself then his bunny etc. as he spoke to Ai.

"His name is Usa-chan! My grandma made him for me when I was little~!" he chirped out happily, now smiling at the girl instead of looking at his hurt friends.

She noticed her tear and didn't know what to do, so he took some strawberries from the top of his cake and placed them on hers...

But then he took one back for himself.

Hey, could you blame him!?
((I just really wanted Mori to say that...dunno why XD

Thanks to the ministrations of the workmen and Ai, the twins were soon spine-free. Although still in pain, they decided to use it to their advantage when the first wave of girls poured in through the doors.

"Oh, Hikaru, Kaoru!" One of the girls, Mika, cried as she spotted their forlorn faces. "Whatever is the matter?"

"Kaoru, Hikaru!" Another girl, Miharu, exclaimed as she hurried over to succor them. "Have you been hurt in some way?"

"Oh, lovely ladies," Kaoru sighed, drawing on the pain from the spine-wounds to fuel the pained expression on his face. "It is nothing, it is only..."

"Two lovely damsels, though not as beautiful as yourselves, spurned our words of love and went off with two bandits, wishing for glory over the safety and affection we could give them..." Hikaru moaned, placing a hand over his heart where, ironically, the worst of the spine-wounds had occurred.

"And now, we are left only with each other once more!" Kaoru cried dramatically, turning to look into his brother's eyes.

"Oh, Kaoru, you will be my strength and the salve for my wounded heart, will you not?" Hikaru murmured brokenly.

"If you will be the same for mine," Kaoru replied softly, falling into his brother's embrace.

"KYAAAA!!" Mika and Miharu squealed, blushing madly as they gazed at the tender scene of twincest. "Just look at the brotherly love they have for each other! It's so wonderful!!"

Haruhi's jaw dropped open when she heard Tamaki. "Such was the vision I had seen when I saw those photos of the wild west upon my desk....." "I don't believe it! Kyoya-Senpai is the shrewdest man I know. He really is the brains behind the Host Club." Haruhi looked up in surprise when Mori patted her on the head. "Thanks Mori-senpai..." A little bit of awkwardness never hurt anyone, did it?

~~~

Ai looked to the girls. "I hate to say this, but they just got knocked into a cactus." She covered her mouth to keep from laughing. "Although that is such a cute story. It tis not true." The princess took a sip of her tea, and looked to Honey-Senpai. "Usa-chan is very cute, Haninozuka-Senpai." And then she noticed more strawberries on her plate. Ai blushed and lowered her eye contacted. "Thank you so much. You didn't have to do that..."

~~~

"NO WAY! IT'S PRINCESS AI!!" From below Music Room three a powerful motor started, rising up a large circular platform. Sitting on that platform was Renge Houshakuji, laughing in her high-pitched giggle. "Ai Mtzusaka, 15 years old, Cello player and model. Debuted just a few months ago with her single Still Doll (featured as the ending in Vampire Knight), she's new upcoming and totally kawaii!!" Renge threw the microphone she was using to the side of the room, and jumped off the platform. She ran to the table where Ai was sitting and started to spaz. "Miss Mitzusaka, I've been wanting to meet you for so long! I'm such a big fan of your music and a long time lover of VK!! I'm so happy I could eat three whole bowls of rice!"

He walked about in his costume a grand vision of himself. He attempted to strut like a cowboy and tilted his hat up at the ladies.

"Good evenen Ladies. Is there anything I might assist you with?" the few girls who already there oooed and pounced upon the newest version of their prince. he gestured to come sit at a wooden little table with him. He put his legs up on a chair and his hands folded behind his head as he chatted, retelling some grand adventure of escaping bandits.

((sorry just not much to do with him right now...anyone want to visit the poor traumatized teacher?))

(( *raises hand* Kiku will. ^_^))
Honey beamed happily when she said that she liked Usa, a happy blush on his cheeks. "Thanks!!" His smile went from ecstatic to sweet when she noticed the strawberries and chuckled.

When Renge went on a fangirling spree all over Ai, Honey watched in awe, his eyes starry.

"Wow Ai! That's amazing! Or should I call you Princess Ai?"
Mori nodded and walked back to Honey, who seemed to be very interested with the new girl.
Kiku dismissed herself from the club early. After all,what could they possibly do? Curse someone? She walked through the halls to the infirmary and asked for permission to go to the bedside of the teacher the dreaded host club made pass out.

She sat next to his bed and sighed. This is one of the first times she ever felt sympathy for a male. Well...not contempt, at least.

(finally here! Sorry!)

All was quiet in the almost empty halls of Ouran high school when suddenly, a blur of green, yellow, and brown flew through one of them. In her flurry, Megamino Kaosu opened up each and every door she passed. "Nothing here, nothing here, nothing here..." She kept repeating each time she opened a door, even if there were people inside. She finally reached the Third Music Room. Kaosu, a bit pissed that she could find anything remotely entertaining, kicked open the door.

Kyoya looked up from his notes and saw a green-haired girl standing at the doorway, her foot outstretched. 'Oh, the new transfer student.' He remembered, noticing that she was still in her old school's yellow and brown uniform. He couldn't blame her; she had just arrived yesterday.

Kaosu blinked, her rage finally subsiding. "Hey.... There's something interesting in here!" She announced as she put her foot down and took a step inside, "What's going on in here?" She didn't even take notice of all the stares she was getting from everyone.

Tamaki cowboy strutted over to the new arrival.

"Ah welcome Mademoiselle! Welcome to the host club. Please come in and enjoy yourself. As you can see there are several members you may request to come and chat with. I do hope you will make your acquaintance with all of us." He let out a hand to her, giving her his usual princely smile.


Kioshi groaned, He had a horrible headache and that feeling of helplessness and terror lingered, leaving a murky residue over his heart. He opened his eyes slowly trying to figure out what happened and if how he felt was warranted or if he should try to block it back up.
It had been a while since his wall had crumbled releasing those feelings and memories. He worked so hard to keep them locked up but now he just felt like an explosion had shattered his soul. He fought back some tears, his eyes getting red.

"What happened to me?" He looked around noting the infirmary...Drapes, hospital bed and there was one of the Teachers there....What was her name?

Kaosu blinked and pointed at him. "You look funny." She announced bluntly, "What's with the cowboy outfit? And you're a Host Club? Doesn't that mean you're man whores?"

Kyoya sweatdropped as the green-haired girl kept going on, and on, and on. 'Really now?' He thought as he started towards her and Tamaki. He had a feeling the "King" wouldn't be able to answer all those questions. "Hello miss, I'm Ootori Kyoya, would you like to be my guest for this afternoon?" He asked politely, hoping that this would distract her.

Kaosu finally stopped her barrage of questions and shook her head. "You look evil." She looked around the room, ignoring the twitch of the glasses-wearing boy. Since she was already here, why not take advantage of what they had? Even if they were a man whore club... Kaosu covered her eyes with one hand and pointed her index finger with her other. She moved her finger around the room until she stopped. "Him!" She exclaimed as she uncovered her eyes.

Kyoya followed her gaze and saw that she was pointing at Mori-sempai. He smiled. "That is Morinozuka Takashi. A third year and a wonderful choice."

Mori heard his name and looked from his tiny blonde cousin to Kyoya. An energetic looking green haired girl was beside him, and he nodded in greeting, walking over. He'd seen her before, since he was in kendo he was very familiar with all the other sports, and knew that she was here on a volley ball scholarship.

"Yo." was all he said. He was a man of few words after all.
Honey had watched Mori leave his side with wondering eyes.

"It seems we have another new girl here! How exciting!"
Kiku's eyes sparkled. Oh, he looked like a sad little child....

She shook herself out of her stupor of pity/awe and leaned forward, speaking softly and gently to the man.

"Those little host club brats tried to take advantage of your good nature and dress you up in there perverted cosplay." she explained "Are you feeling any better? You could sue them, you know..Do you need anything?"

"Hi! Nice to meet you!" Kaosu exclaimed as she extended her hand out to her sempai, "I'm Megamino Kaosu!" She had a twinkle in her eyes when she saw the boy come closer. He just radiated... coolness. "Why's a guy like you doing in a man whore club like this?!" She voiced her thoughts.

Kyoya twiched when he heard the green-haired girl call the Host Club a 'man whore' club. "Please refrain from calling our club that, please?" He asked politely.

Tamaki proceeded to sulk in a corner at such a label of his precious club. He twirled his fingers in circle upon the floor, a dark cloud hovering over him and big tears upon his face.

"Whores? Man whore?....."


He looked up at the teacher a little relieved at her words.

"Oh, it was just a kind of cosplay...I see... Just an innocent thing. I should have known." he sighed a little of his stress leaving with it and he attempted to brick up the past and his pain up behind a wall once again.

"Calm down, ignore her." Kyoya replied as he jotted some things in his handy dandy notebook, "Megamino Kaosu sees things through an... eccentric point of view. Much like you." He smiled at the last part. He had a feeling that compared to the green-haired girl, Tamaki was calm.

"Hmm..Nice to meet you." This was an interesting girl. A light smile graced his normally stoic features.

He took her hand, which nearly covered the her entire hand, like an eclipse over the sun. When she asked why he was here, he looked over at Honey, who laughed and walked over, latching onto his other hand.
"Nice to meetcha~ Nice to meetcha! I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka! Can I call you Kao-chan!? Do you like cake? What about clubs?"
Kiku frowned.
"You shouldn't forgive them so quickly! Don't you want revenge, or a club switch? You know...the suing thing is still open..."

She sighed. Figures, as usual they'd just get away with everything...

"You know what, don't worry about it. I'll keep an eye on this club too, to make sure that you don't get into a situation like that again."

Kaosu grinned and shook the younger boy's hand. "Nice to meetcha too!!" She exclaimed, "You can call me Kao-chan if I can call you Hun-chan! And I love cake and clubs! Especially the volleyball team! I'm a part of that!!" For a man whore club, these guys weren't so bad. She could get used to coming here...
