Standing there in the door way was Sayaka, holding your pizza.

"Well what are the odds?" She says chuckling lightly. "I was actually going to call you right after I delivered this." Your eyes widen in surprise.

"You mean you found something?" You ask hopefully, gesturing for her to come inside. She nods, stepping inside and taking off her shoes before following you into the living area.

"Alright so," she begins, both you and your sister listening intently. "As far as I can tell, your grandfather is not aware that you have been found. He does know that they are looking for his grandchildren. Granddaughters in particular, of course." You nod, hang on her every word.

"This is where the contract comes into play, however. It took a lot of digging but I eventually found a copy of the contract in the public archives. I won't bore you with reading the whole contract to you, as there is only one part that you need to hear. The exact wording on the contract states that "the eldest, eligible daughter daughter of Kotoko Simsera shall be married to the eldest, eligible son of Prince Charles Asusina." You groan at the news, crestfallen.

"So there's no way out of this marriage?" You sigh, burying your face in your hands.

"Not so fast," Sayaka chides, causing you to lift your head in curiosity. The contract states that the eldest daughter is engaged. So, it doesn't apply to you." You furrow your brief in confusion, Haruhi mirroring your action.

"What do you mean? I'm the eldest by 3 minutes." You tell her, not understanding her point.

"Yes, you are older than Haruhi but you are not the oldest daughter." By now you and Haruhi are thoroughly confused. Sayaka sighs deeply, rolling her eyes in frustration. "Aren't you forgetting about a certain older brother? Or should I say sister?" At her words your eyes light up in recognition. Morgan, your older sibling, was legally registered as a female as of 3 years ago. Making her the eldest daughter.

"So all we have to do now is,"

"Find big sis," you and Haruhi state, looking at Sayaka for confirmation. She nods.

"Either that or you both need to be engaged as of a week or so ago, making you both no longer eligible." You comb your fingers through your hair, deep in thought. 

"So how are we going to find her?" You puzzle, both you and your twin deep in though.

"One step ahead of you, looking on your sister's social media, I found that she is planning on coming back to Japan for around 2 weeks, certainly long enough to get this done." You nod in agreement before realization hits you.

"How are we going to get her to agree? I mean, we are kind of throwing her into the midst of this, when she had nothing to do with this. I don't know if I feel comfortable forcing her into this, just like I was...." You explain. Sayaka nods thoughtfully.

"Well, I suppose that we will have to wait and see. I will get to work on tracking her down, in the mean time, you need to come up with a back up plan, be it a fake engagement or another loop hole. I'll talk to you later," Sayaka stands up and, with a quick goodbye, leaves you and your sister to your thoughts.

The next morning, as per usual, a sleek, black limo pulls up next to your apartment complex. You and Haruhi close and lock the door before walking down the steps and waving at the driver, who opens the door for you.

Sliding into the limo, you give Hikaru and Kaoru a quick smile before glancing out of the window, taking note of the surroundings as you head towards the school.

Upon reaching the school, the driver walks around to your side and opens the door. The twins exit first before offering both you and your sister a hand. Following Haruhi, you gingerly grasp Hikaru's hand, minding your injured arm as you step out of the car. As you walk through the halls of the school, hand still entwined with Hikaru's, you can clearly see the death glares being sent your way.

Rolling your eyes, you continue down the hall. As you walk, you notice Hikaru moving closer to you, standing in front of you in an almost protective manner. You chuckle lightly at his action as many of the people looking at you with interest had now averted their gaze, assuming that you were taken. Although, the mass amount of jealous glares from the female population only seemed to increase.

Getting an idea, you quickly duck under Hikaru's arm while keeping your hand clasped with his. Your eyes sparkled with amusement as Hikaru relaxed his arm, allowing it to wrap around your shoulders. Though barely noticeable, multiple people in the hall gasped at the scene, some taking pictures or videos that would surely end up in the hands of the school newspaper.

Making your way through the crowd of students, you eventually arrive at the classroom. Loosening your grip, you move out of Hikaru's hold and into you seat waiting for class to begin.

~*~

After an uneventful school day, you, Haruhi, and the twins make your way to the club room. Upon arriving you see the rest of the hosts already gathered in a circle.

"Ah, you're here. Now we can begin. Please, sit." Kyoya instructs, gesturing to the empty seats. Doing as told, you all sit.

"So, what's the news boss?" The twins ask in sync, though it is hard to tell whether the question was directed towards Tamaki or Kyoya.

"Well after some of the students saw Hikaru in a rather, some could say, comprising situation, we have thought of a new idea for the club." Kyoya states sending you and Hikaru a glare of disapproval.

"So, in other words, you're coming up with a cover story?" You retort, chuckling at his irritated expression.

"Exactly. And, despite my lack of knowledge and presence on the scene when it occurred, I am fairly certain that this was your intent. Do correct me if I am wrong, (Y/N)." Kyoya states arrogantly. You merely shrug your shoulders.

"Who knows, Kyoya. Now, what is this Grand idea of yours?" Kyoya rolls his eyes, clearing his throat.

"We have decided to experiment with the idea of taking our customers on "dates" or "outings" as a club." Kyoya responds.

"Sounds interesting," Haruhi says thoughtfully.

"Indeed! I can imagine it now, taking our lovely princesses on beautifully cruises and walks in the moonlight. Chatting with them over brunch at the best cafe in Tokyo. The possibilities are endless!" Tamaki says.

"A good idea. How will it work though? Especially with Hikaru and I as a joint service?" Kaoru says.

"The concept is simple, we pick one location/outing per week, which will take place that Friday. Club hours will remain the same for the entire week including Friday unless the "outing" interferes, in which case the club will be cancelled for that day. There will be 7 available spots for the outing, which our guests will have to sign up for. They will also choose their preferred host. We will have a specific time set for the outing. During the outing we will have a specific guest who will be your "date" for that evening, one per host. You will act romantically towards your "date" for the duration of the outing, though there will be some guidelines regarding the do's and don't's. In the case of the twins, you will each have your own "date" however you will engage on the events as a group. Doing your brotherly love act while entertaining your dates." Kyoya explains.

"That's so smart Kyoya! It sounds like a great idea!" Honey says with enthusiasm. The rest of the hosts nodding in agreement.

"What would our first outing be?" Haruhi asks.

"There is a BTS concert happening this Friday night. I have already bought 15 tickets. All that's left is to advertise." Kyoya says.

"Wait you already bought the tickets without telling us the idea?" Hikaru says.

"Of course. One must be timely with these sorts of things." Kyoya says.

"Wait, why 15 if there are only 7 of us hosts and one guest per host?" Tamaki puzzles.

"One for (Y/N), of course. Her job will be to go around to each of the "couples" and instruct us hosts on proper behavior and etiquette when it comes to dates. She can opt out of the other events if she would like, however she will be required to attend this one as her punishment for this unwanted attention." Kyoya says.

"So what exactly are you going to tell the guests when they ask about Hikaru and I?" You ask snarkily, crossing your arms.

"That you were showing Hikaru an "affectionate way" to escort the guests during the "dates"." Kyoya says. You open your mouth, ready with another retort before Kyoya cuts you off, holding up his hand and sending you a disapproving glance before continuing. "I do not care what it actually was, as I stated earlier. All that matters at the moment is that our guests believe that there is no outside romantic interest to any of the hosts, including you. It is better for business." Kyoya says, causing you to roll your eyes at his business-like tone.

"Sounds like a solid plan Kyoya." Haruhi says.

"Yes, good work mommy!" Tamaki says causing Kyoya to sigh.

"So, basically, we are creating a Rent-A-Boyfriend service for our school." You say.

"Yeah, pretty much," the twins reply, shrugging their shoulders in sync.

~*~

Later that day, at the host club, almost everyone was talking about Hikaru and I being seen together. Following Kyoya's "masterful plan", anytime that a guest would mention it or question one of the hosts they would quickly dismiss the idea with the excuse that Kyoya created and proceed to explain the "outings".

Before the end of the club hours for the day all of the spots were already filled, the rest of the girls who weren't so lucky as get a spot were comforted by the hosts with promises that they would have their chance soon enough.

Soon enough club hours came to a close. The hosts bud the girls fare well while reminding the 7 girls who would be the hosts "dates" that the outing would take place Friday night and that they were to be at the host club by 5 o'clock sharp in order for us to leave in a timely manner in the hosts' limousines. They were also instructed to were casual clothes that they could move in easily.

"Congratulations Ruhi, you have now been promoted to "Rental Boyfriend". How does this make you feel?"

"It makes my hand itch with a sudden desire to smack you."
