     They quickly shoved us into the kitchen. They showed us what to prepare, what to serve and how to do it correctly. I tried my best to follow their instructions but honestly it was too much for me..

     I watched Tamaki serve his clients and i honestly wanted to barf. I let Haruhi take one side of the room and I took the other, I couldn't help hearing all of the fake flirting.

     Somehow I could still hear them from the other side of the room, "Um, Tamaki, what's your favorite song?"

     "What song? Hmm... The one that reminds me of you, of course." I barfed. I bet if she gave him literal garbage, he'll eat it up so badly...it's nice but it's also kinda concerning..

     Hopefully one of these girls poisoned him...

     "I've recently heard the Host Club is keeping two little kittens without a pedigree." a female voice rang out--'who's talking shit about me?'

     "I don't know if I'd call them that." Tamaki looked around for us, and Haruhi waved me over. I stuck up the middle finger and continued attending mori and honey.

     I put down some cakes for the girls, one of them even asked for me to pour them tea. I hate being treated like a fucking dog, does it look like i have a tail? She giggled a little as i got close, i poured her a drink and said "At your service, m'lady,"

     'Be proud of me tamaki, i'm doing this maid shit for you--'

     "Wow! Tamaki should really make you a host, you've got skill!" Honey held up a slice of cake for me, I think he's trying to give it to me. We got distracted when a small group started to form around Tamaki. "Whats going on over there N/N-Chan?"

     "You don't want to know--" I sighed as there was a gasp. We turned around to Tamaki standing over the crowd and started shouting like crazy, holding up...instant coffee? God this anime.

     "No, I'll keep it! I'm going to give it a try... I will drink this coffee!" The crowd started to loudly applaud, I could only watch in shock. They shoved the coffee into my sister's hands and barked orders. "Alright Haruhi, get over here and make me some of this commoners' coffee."

     "I hate all these damn rich people." I picked up the coffee maker and made my way over to the blank table. Passing by tamaki, I felt someone stare daggers into my back.

     "Oh Tamaki, now you're taking the joke too far. Your palate won't be able to stomach that crap. You don't have to drink it just because he bought it. Just have the other one return it for you." A female voice murmured, I paused in tracks, haruhi noticed.

     'This bitch...'

     "Excuse me?"

     "I'm sorry. I was talking to myself, dear."

     "Next time keep it in your head--"

     Haruhi quickly intertwined our arms and rushed me off to where Tamaki was. She slightly scolded me. She could tell i was going to explode and good thing she did. Our quota would have skyrocketed if I made one of Tamaki's star customers upset.

     I watched the group both make and drink the tea, i decided to hang around Mori and Honey senpai. Their table was actually..the most peaceful. Other than Kyoya, I don't think they even accept customers...

     Haruhi asked me to help her with cleaning up. Great, I have to clean up after them as well? She shoved my shoulder a bit to grab my attention, she pointed towards Honey. "Is that boy really a third year student?"

     "Honey-senpai may seem young and childish, but he's a prodigy." We screamed as Kyoya scared us.

     "Jesus dude, ever heard of minding your business?"

     "I don't really care for those things. Like I said, don't let Honey-senpai fool you. And then there's Mori-senpai, his allure is his strong and silent disposition."

     "This sounds like a dating show--"

     "Are you interested in dating one of our hosts--"

     "No.

     "Haru-chan! Y/N-Chan!" Honey came running towards us. That's funny, they won't call me N/N in front of Haruhi. "Do you want to have some cake with me?"

     "Thanks, but I don't really like cake. H-However, Y/N over here is ecstatic about the cake."

     "Really? I'll get you some! Then how would you like to hold my bunny Usa-chan?"

     "I'm not into bunnies."

     "Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?"

     Haruhi is in deep shit now, she looked at me for help and i sighed. "I'll take him, happily!"

     "I knew I could count on you Y/N!" The boy happily tossed me the bunny.

     I showed Haruhi him and she giggled a bit while tapping the bunny's nose, "I guess he is kinda cute, huh?"

     "Take good care of him, okay? I'll give you a cake in a bit!"

     Kyoya interrupted our interaction, "You'll notice that our club utilizes each man's unique characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests. Just so you know, Tamaki is number one around here. He's the king. His request rate is 70%."

     "What's this world coming to?"

     I agreed with Haruhi, "You said it sister..."

     "And in order for you to pay off your ¥8,000,000 debt with us, you will act as the Ouran Host Club's dog until you graduate. I'm sorry, I meant our errand boy. You can try to run away if you want to Haruhi, but just so you know, my family employs a private police force of 100 officers. By the way, do you have a passport?"

     "Huh?"

     "You're going to have to work hard to pay off that debt, my little nerds." We, again, jumped at the blonde's words.

     Haruhi heaved, "Please don't do that again."

     "You and your friend over there need to learn how to mind your business--"

     "Forget business!" He shouted in our faces, "You need a makeover or no girl's going to look twice at you."

     "Yeah, well, I'm not trying to get girls to look at me." Haruhi shrugged her shoulders.

     Tamaki's jaw literally dropped, "Are you kidding me? That's the most important thing. You have to learn to be a gentleman and please the ladies, like me."

     "I just don't think it's all that important." I snickered, god I love toying with his emotions.

     "Y/N's right. Why should I care about appearances and labels anyway? I mean, all that really matters is what's on the inside right? I don't understand why you even have a host club like this."

     He clutched his heart, "It's a cruel reality, isn't it? It's not often that God creates a perfect person like moi, beautiful both inside and out. I understand how you feel since not everyone is blessed as I am, but you must console yourself. Otherwise how would you go on living?"

     "Did you know that you're really out of touch with reality, sir?"

     "Out of touch with reality? No no no, they look up to me! They love and cherish my work! Just think about it, why do you think they put works of art in museums? Because beauty should be shared with the world, and those born beautiful should--"

     She turned to me and played with the bunnies ears, "There's a word to describe people like him."

     "...promote other beautiful things. That's why I started this club in the first place. I did it for those who are..."

     "Annoying?" I asked as they danced around us.

     "..starved for beauty. For those working day and night, pursuing beauty. And although..." he continued.

     "No not that one--"

     "--are you sure?"

     "I mean it's close? ~Aw man, I wish I could remember that word. Hmmm~"

     "..your looks may be average, and you have a few negative characteristics, I've chosen to share my expertise with you. Here's a tip. When setting down your glass, extend your pinky finger as a cushion, and that way when you set it down you won't be making a lot of noise. Gentlemen do not make loud sounds. Besides,..."

     We watched him sway his hips back and forth, I asked "a pain in the neck? Danger to society?"

     "...a gentleman looks much more refined..."

     "No, there's something that fits him perfectly"

     "Take your time. We really have all day here, Haru..."
     "....that way. I like to check my reflection.., but above all else Haruhi, you must remember, how effective a glance to the side can be..."

     "Huh. I got it!" She shouted.

     "Oh, did I strike a chord?--"

     "Obnoxious!" The room ran silent as she shouted, Tamaki swayed on his feet as i bursted out laughing until I started having a coughing fit. Haruhi immediately rubbed my back, "Careful N/N... And uh, I'm sorry Tamaki-senpai."

     The twins came laughing behind us. They always knew what to say at the same time, it was kinda scary... "You're a hero alright, boss!--But he is a pain in the neck"

     "I'm sorry senpai,--"

     "--I'm not--"

     "--hush Y/N, but senpai your lesson did strike a small chord with me."

     Immediately his summer blues disappeared as the blonde rushed over to us. "Really? It did? Let me teach you more, my friend! Call me King."

     "You can teach him all the basics of hosting..." Kaoru pushed Tamaki's forehead back with his index finger.

    Hikaru agreed with his brother, he played with my hair strands making my face slightly turn a light shade of pink. "But he's not going to get very far with the ladies if they don't look the part, you know. They're not exactly host club material but..." He moved in front of us and took off Haruhi's glasses. Maybe if we took off his glasses it'll help."

     ""Hey! I need those. I used to have contacts but I lost them on the first day of school." She shouted, waving her arms around.

     "One of us is already in critical damage and now you're going to blind the other one?" I joked as Tamaki pushed the blushing twins away, putting him right inbetween the wild duo.

     "Hikaru, Kaoru." He snapped his fingers and we were immediately dragged away. Haruhi fought while I just accepted my faith. He pointed towards Mori senpai and Kyoya, "Kyoya, my hairstylist. Mori-senpai, go to the eye doctor and get him some contact lenses."

     "What about me Tama-chan?"

     He panicked at the smaller one's question, he picked up the bunny I placed on the table. "Honey-senpai...."

     "Yes sir!"

     "You... go have some cake." He handed the smaller boy the bunny. I felt bad as he sulked

     The twins harshly shoved us into a changing room, "Here! Change into this uniform."

     Haruhi argued with them as I grabbed the uniform "What? But why?"

     "Don't ask questions!"

     "No way!-- Okay fine, I'll change, but you two have to get out."

     I've never seen such a petite girl have so much strength. She quite literally tossed the two of them out so quickly I thought they had fallen on their asses. They looked back at us astonished.

     "Nah, this shit is actually kinda cute--"

     "Face the wall, i'll do the same." She sighed and turned around. We immediately changed and she helped tie my tie. I'm not going to lie, haruhi was absolutely stunning in the uniform...i'm so glad we share the same genes.

     "Aren't you done changing yet?" Tamaki asked from the other side of the curtain.

     "Yeah, Y/N had some trouble so i was just helping them out." Haruhi opened the curtain and we stepped out, "You sure it's really okay for us to keep this uniform?"

     "Of course, you take your role as the older twin so seriously. You really do watch over Y/N huh." Kyoya circled us and smiled.

     "Of course--"

     "Cute! You two are as pretty as girls! Adorable!" Tamaki immediately jumped to us, cutting off our conversation with Kyoya.

     "Haruhi-chan, Y/N-chan you two look super cute!"

     "If we had known that's how you really look we would've helped you out sooner." the twins stuck out their tongues in sync.

     "Who knows? Maybe they'll draw in some customers."

     "You know, that's just what I was thinking. Our errand boys are moving up the ranks. Starting today, you two are an official member of the Host Club. I will personally train you to be a first-rate host. If you can get 100 customers to request your service, we will completely forget about your ¥8,000,000 debt."

     "A host? Are you okay with that, Y/N?"

     "Hell, yeah! Lets do this!"
