Hikaru gave a smile and leaned his elbow on Kaoru's shoulder with his right leg crossed over the other. "That's our Kyouya, count on him to know about the money." He said to his brother and Kaoru smiled in return.

"The library setting will be perfect for me Kyouya, thank you for taking that into consideration when choosing the room."

The two turned their heads to look over at the library where a girl with long black hair and glasses had just spoke. She actually sounded a little like Kyouya, maybe a little too much like Kyouya actually. Kaoru recalled her talking earlier about the difference between what female guests would like and what male guests would like. She did have a bit of a point but, then again, who doesn't like sweets and tea? The two of them were wondering if they were still going to use instant coffee now that Haruhi wasn't around. Though, they did sort of make it a tradition, it would just remind Tamaki of her everyday. Hikaru let out a small sigh as he thought this and they bother crossed their arms over their chests at the same time. Everyone of them would miss Haruhi, even if one of them weren't showing it, specifically Kyouya of course. They secretly hoped that Kyouya would keep using instant coffee. How could they give up on it now?

"Hey..she kind of reminds me of Kyouya..in a scarey way." Kaoru mumbled to Hikaru, leaning in a little. "That's just what I was thinking." Hikaru whispered back, then gave a small, evil smile. "I wonder if she is easier to pick on than Ootori?" Hikaru questioned quietly to his brother. Kaoru just gave a small shrug and an innocent smile. Maybe we should wait to figure that out. He thought to himself and looked at his brother. "I kinda want to get introduced to everyone first." He said and watched Hikaru's expression as it began to look a little confused, but then Hikaru shrugged. "Okay, not like you but fine by me." He said with a casual tone of voice and Kaoru sighed a relief silently in his mind. Today he just wanted to enjoy finally leaving high school and moving onto collage. Not to mention he didn't want her to end up being exactly the same as Kyouya and end up scolding them or something. After he had the chance to get a little info on the new hosts personalities, then we would join Hikaru in a little teasing.

Sora was checking out all the games that were provided, they had many of the known games, even some she hadn't been able to even get. She looked like a little girl browsing a toy store, this was indeed her criteria and she much appreciated that she would be able to play these games with others who hopefully take interest in them like her. Although she knew this was not for her, but to help attract costumers. Sora may look and act quite oblivious, but she knew well about what was happening around her.

While listening to the others talking, she over heard the twins speaking "The video games might be fun!" "Yea! we'll get to show off our awesome skills! Right Koaru?" 'So one of them were named Kaoru.' she thought. She turned to the two and placed her hand on her chest " You will have to face me in a couple games then, I have been wanting a challenge." she said with much confidence. Sora was well known on a couple of forum sites for being top ranked, this is probably due to her spending so much time with her father or just playing in general. She is quite proud of her skills and she has been eager to find some one to pose as a challenge.

Her eyes moved over to Manako, then Kyouya " Are you two related?" she tilted her head. " You seem much alike, so sophisticated." she walked over to Manako and smiled lightly as she looked up at the taller woman. " Lighten up a bit we're all friends here, no need to be so sophisticated. You too Sir Ootori!" as she said the sentence she held a bit of a sophisticated pose, as if trying to mimic them both; but clearly looking ridiculous.

"I'm impressed and also I think the menu options should differ for male and female clients because most young men, who are not the gentlemanly type as our lovely hosts will be wanting more hearty refreshments. Tea and cake is great for our princesses but our princes would enjoy more heavy fair, such as sandwiches and coffee. I assume we have access to a fully stocked gourmet kitchen am I correct Kyouya? The library setting will be perfect for me Kyouya, thank you for taking that into consideration when choosing the room."

"It was my pleasure. And yes i was going to talk with our chefs about the menu's for our male guests. I think the men will most likely be attracted to our game center, some to the library and the courtyard."

"Are you two related?" Sora suddenly asked throwing him. " You seem much alike, so sophisticated." She walked over to Manako. " Lighten up a bit we're all friends here, no need to be so sophisticated. You too Sir Ootori!"

Something happened to Kyouya then, something erupted in his chest. It was laughter. It started out slow then grew in till he was bent over laughing. Knowing he was making a scene, he quickly tried to recover himself. "I'm sorry, Miss Manako and Miss Sora if i offended you." He removed his glasses and wiped under his eyes. "I haven't laughed like that in ages

And to answer your question, no Miss Manako and i are not related. We are just two people who are very much alike."

He cleared this throat fully regaining his composure. "And now it's time to start placing types to ours Hosts. Koaru, Hikaru, and Tamaki; you guys will keep your same position as before.

Miss Manako, due to your high intelligence, you will be typed as the intellectual type and mostly be put in the library just as you perdicted.

Miss Sora, due to your fathers position and your love for gaming. I will put you as the Gamer type and place you at the game room.

Miss Rue I'm thinking about typing you as The Princess type, because of your radiating looks and bouncy personality to match. You will be either in our main lobby or courtyard. Both settings are laid back enough so your sister can feel free to visit you during our club activates. Does this fit you all well?"

He turned to Yuki and Natsu. "I'm not sure exactly what to put yous guys as or where for that fact just yet"

"Are you two related?" Sora suddenly asked throwing him. " You seem much alike, so sophisticated." She walked over to Manako. " Lighten up a bit we're all friends here, no need to be so sophisticated. You too Sir Ootori!"


Manako chuckled as Kyouya laughed almost hysterically, "No miss Sora, but I assume that Kyouya and I had very similar upbringings so we act as though we might be. My father attended school with his father, but what Kyouya said is right we are not related but only acquainted. Im sorry if I seem, not as social and spunky as you but I haven't had the opportunity to have a social life until now outside of my father's business partners. I'm just really like getting things running smoothly so if you feel that I am being over analytic, I am sorry" she said with a smile.

He cleared this throat fully regaining his composure. "And now it's time to start placing types to ours Hosts. Koaru, Hikaru, and Tamaki; you guys will keep your same position as before.

Miss Manako, due to your high intelligence, you will be typed as the intellectual type and mostly be put in the library just as you perdicted.

Miss Sora, due to your fathers position and your love for gaming. I will put you as the Gamer type and place you at the game room.

Miss Rue I'm thinking about typing you as The Princess type, because of your radiating looks and bouncy personality to match. You will be either in our main lobby or courtyard.

He turned to Yuki and Natsu. "I'm not sure exactly what to put yous guys as or where for that fact just yet"


Well from what I have seen Yuki is very similar to the Normal type, that miss Fujioka had been portraying, as for Natsu..." she stepped in front of him. "You really don't want to be here, but were probably volunteered by one of your parents. Very similar to Mori's "silent type" but with the "bad boy' thrown in, interesting... the mysterious type I like the sound of that how about you Kyouya", she said as she winked at Natsu.

"Yes." He said adjusting his glasses. "Though Miss Fujioka was the natural type, though i agree Yuki could be classed as the Normal type. Maybe we could pair Mr Natsu with another Host to balance him out. I do believe that could work. How does everyone feel about your types and areas?"

He looked over at his Tamaki expecting some sort of outburst. "What about you Tamaki? You've been silent for a while. Is everything meeting your expectations?"

The doors flew open and giggling filled the room, "Heeyyyyy sorry were late," Honey cheers from Mori's shoulders, "I dropped Usa-Chan in some water! So Takashi ran the rest of the way so he could dry!"
Waving the pink bunny in the air he said, "OOoooh there are so many people in here! Hi Ladies!!!" he waved.
"Hello." Mori stated as he walked into the room, Honey happily bouncing on his shoulders. He stopped next to Kyouya and set Honey down.
"Sorry were late," he apologized blankly as he took a seat. Spinning the dessert tray on the table he places a piece of strawberry cake across from him and rested his head on hids hand to watch Honey run about the room.

Honey ran through the room with Usa-chan and began greeting everyone starting with the Hitachiin twins, "Hi Kaoru, Hi Hikaru! Hi Tamaki!
Seeing all the newcomers he waved cheerfully, "Hello everyone! My name is Mitsukuni but you can call me Honey!" Hugging Usa-chan he plopped at the table across from Takashi and began munching on the strawberry cake at the table. With a full mouth he said, "Kyouya this cake is sooo good! You should have a piece!"

"Good to see that everyone is here now" said Manako with a slight smile. She was glad to see that everything was coming together, but it seemed as though Tamaki the Prince and leader of the host club was upset or sad almost. "Perhaps it is because miss Haruhi is not here", she thought, she knew that the former member of the host club had decided to go to school in England to complete her schooling to be a lawyer. A commendable feat, but it seemed as though Tamaki was forlorn about the situation. But she tried to turn back to the task at hand "With Mori and Honey here now I think we can talk about the newest activities that you have planned Kyouya".

"Sorry were late," Mori apologized blankly as he took a seat

He nods. "It's quite fine, at least you two are here."

"Kyouya this cake is sooo good! You should have a piece!" Honey said as he ate a piece of cake.

"Good to see that everyone is here now. With Mori and Honey here now I think we can talk about the newest activities that you have planned Kyouya".

"Yes your right Miss Manako. Well for our grand opening of the Host Club i was thinking of having an open door night. Let everyone in without cost, let them have a taste of what we have to offer this year. I'm sure Tamaki will come up with a theme that he thinks everyone will enjoy or we can put it towards a vote." He flips open his phone checking the time. "Seamstresses should be here in an hour to take everyone's measurements for the year's costumes."

Hyorin was late, late, late. He slept in and was behind schedule. "Ehhhhhhh?! Stupid clock!" He smashed his alarm clock in, he was going to have to buy a new one. He quickly threw off his pajamas, hurrying into the shower and rushing his hair and makeup. After finishing up his perfect curls at the end of his hair, he smiled, his lips coated with bubble gum flavored lipgloss. His eyelashes were long and perfect, just the way he liked himself. Perfect. After walking out of the bathroom, he quickly found a perfect outfit to wear. After tying up his purple converse, he made his way down stairs to the smell of toast invading his senses. His parents were in the kitchen, with a plate full of toast. His 'mother' was washing dishing while his father was at the table reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Uh...I'll take one!" The feminine male stole one of the pieces of toast before heading out, not even waiting to hear a shout from his parents. The fact that his parents were actually men, made him shiver sometimes.

Finally making it to school, he took a breath before running even more. He needed to rest because he was really out of breath. Deciding to find a nice place to breath, he opened a door to a room, finding a bunch of girls and guys in there. It's-it's-! "Aw, hell no."

"Aw, hell no."

Kyouya turned around as another Host entered the room. "Ah hello Mr. Mizuki. Take a moment to catch your breath. You haven't missed much" he gestured to the seats right by them.

The twins were both rather surprised that after Sora asked whether Kyouya and Manako were related, Kyouya burst out laughing. Kaoru let a little smile appear on his face while Hikaru still had a surprised facial expression. Guess the young girls little 'lighten up we are all friends here' comment really helped break the ice. From what Kaoru could tell, everyone did seem a little nervous about being here. Even Tamaki was a little quite.

"And now it's time to start placing types to ours Hosts. Koaru, Hikaru, and Tamaki; you guys will keep your same position as before."

The two of them kept quite as they let Kyouya sort everything out. Hikaru kept thinking about the chance for the two of them to face off in a video game with Sora, who had told them that they needed to challenge her in a couple of games, while Kaoru kept wondering why everyone was so quite. Despite Kyouya's outburst of laughter and how Tamaki was in the room, it was still a little too quite. That's right, I wonder where Honey is, he thought to himself, realizing that the Honey and Takashi weren't here yet.

"Heeyyyyy sorry were late! I dropped Usa-Chan in some water! So Takashi ran the rest of the way so he could dry!"

"Speak of the devil", Kaoru mumbled to himself as Hikaru and himself turn their heads to see Honey atop the shoulders of another familiar face. "Hey there Honey!" The both said at the same time as the blonde boy ran to greet them first, then to Tamaki, then to everyone else in the room. Finally Mitsukuni sat himself down at a table with Takashi and began munching on a piece of cake while Kyouya explained what the host club was going to start off with this year.

"Aw, hell no."

"Man, it's one after another isn't it?" Hikaru said quietly to his brother who shrugged with a smile. Once the two looked over and got a good glimpse at the newcomer, they were a little dumbfounded. "Hey..Hikaru, that is a boy right?" Kaoru whispered the question to his brother so not to be heard. Good Question, Hikaru thought to himself but after hearing Kyouya greet the new person as 'Mr. Mizuki', it was confirmed. "Yep." Hikaru replied bluntly. Though, the boy who had just walked in did look a little confused.

Shiori walked into the Host Club room, not really looking for anyone or anything in particular. Actually, quite the contrary. She wanted somewhere to study and practice her violin, and since the Host Club room WAS the unused music room, she thought it very appropriate to use the room to her advantage.

She placed her school bag on a nearby table and grabbed her violin from where she concealed it in the room. You see, no one knows that she plays the violin. That's her secret passion and she would like to keep it that way.

'I should really do my homework first,' she thought. But she dismissed the thought as she pulled out her sleek violin and her long bow. She placed the violin gently on the table and twisted the knob at the bottom of the bow that tightened the delicate horse hairs so they were taught enough to play the strings of the violin.

After, she grabbed her violin in her left hand and began to play a sweet, mellow tune that was very soft, careful not to play too loudly, in case she was overheard. She didn't want the others finding out that she could play.

Soon, she started playing faster, playing chords from her favorite play, Sweeney Todd. She played the first few bars of "Worst Pies in London" and then stopped. She didn't think that was an appropriate song to play at a rich-people high school, though she was rich herself. She started to play a pop song, singing softly to herself.

I threw a wish in the well.
Don't ask me, I'll never tell.
I looked to you as it fell,
and now you're in my way.

She started picking up the pace of her playing and continued.

I trade my soul for a wish.
Pennies and dimes for a kiss.
I wasn't looking for this,
but now you're in my way.

She continued to sing the song to herself, not really caring about anything else that was happening.
