Tsuki Kunomasu's Story

---

---

Hikaru did as she said, she skipped all of her classes and stayed in the 3rd Music room. It wasn't long before she slipped off into boredom though, and eventually passed out on the couches. She awoke just as the hosts entered, followed by screaming girls. She sat up, yawning a bit. Why is there so many screaming idiotic fangirls in here? She glared a bit, sitting back against the couch in exhaustion. She hated girls like that, seriously...they were so air headed. She rubbed the back of her neck, though it didn't comfort her much. The furniture in the room wasn't nearly as comfortable as it looked... her whole body felt cramped and sore.

When are they going to give me back my necklace so I can go home? Her brooding left a dark aura around her, and she sulked inside it. She was growing irritated and whatever kind of business these boys ran wasn't going to prosper very well with the bad vibes oozing off the angry 'boy' lurking in the corner of the room off to himself. Hikaru had changed into 'his' normal clothes by now, and for such a rowdy troublemaker, she dressed pretty...plainly for a 'rich boy'. She didn't see anything wrong with the tan sweater she wore on top of the white button down shirt that came with her Ouran uniform. black knee-length shorts. Well, nothing other than the fact that she was burning up in the sweater. 'He' wore plain black boots, overall Hikaru looked pretty ordinary, other than her oddly colored hair and eyes.



She sat there, letting out a sigh, after a while catching on. Oh...so they're sort of like PG-13 male escorts... They're getting paid just to be nice to girls? What a rip-off.. She scoffed, shaking her head at the scene, staring with an idle expression. They'd eventually give back what was stolen from her, or she'd continue to loiter around until her presence hurt their business. Her necklace was precious...Not to mention it was the only lighter she owned. Her mother didn't know she smoked, but she could wear the necklace without arousing suspicion, because it's sentimental value to both of them. If she showed up without it, her mom would investigate. If her mom investigated, she'd find out Hikaru has been lying to her for quite some time....and Hikaru couldn't let that happen. She couldn't see her mom cry again on her account.

"Stupid Raion.. Stupid club... I wish I never met you. I could be home, playing video games if it wasn't for those two obnoxious dopplegangers..." She threw off the sweater with a frown, cursing a bit too loudly and attracting a bit of nearby attention.

Random customer chatter

"Oh look, Mimoi-chan... There's a boy over there in the corner.. Isn't he's so adorable...? He looks so angry though..."

"Shhh! That's Hikaru Inoue, he's a well known delinquent. He skipped all his classes today I heard, just so he could go out on the roof and smoke cigarettes... I heard that he used to get in a ton of fights at his old school. My cousin was in his class."

"Sugoi... what's he doing here? Is he going to be a new host? Wouldn't that be a little dangerous? I wonder what he would be... the Rowdy type? Defiant type?"

"What about the rebellious type...?"

End random customer chatter

"Great... now they're staring..." She frowned, pretending to hate their gossiping. She was never going to admit it, but deep down Hikaru found the attention to be a bit nice... She didn't get much of that, ever. It was different. Though now he thought was just as good of a time as any to start a ruckus. He stood, brushing himself off before starting to speak in a loud enough voice to catch the attention of a fair amount of the room's inhabitants.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but I have an important announcement. Hi, my name is Hikaru Inoue.. and I'd like for all of you girls to know that you might want to watch your purse...your beloved hosts have a thief among them.. He's stolen.." Her eyes softened a bit as she hesitated to mention the personal bit, "A present my grandfather gave me five years ago. He's dead now and that jerk won't give it back. Do you even realize what type of guy you might TRULY be spending time with..?"

Boom. Hikaru planted the seed of uncertainty among the girls, letting them whisper about 'his' announcement among themselves, "Thank you, proceed." she ushered her hand, sitting back down as if she'd done nothing wrong. Then she noticed the cake among the room. Her stomach growled and she pouted a bit.

Shamelessly, she slowly approached a small boy's 'station' for himself and his customers in the room. She'd seen in the room earlier being carried out by the man who revealed which doppelganger stole her necklace. Hikaru looked between him and his customers, stomach growling again. She spoke up, but suddenly there was a blush on 'his' face, "Oi... can I join you guys and have a piece of cake too?" she asked in an uncharacteristically bashful tone. Was Hikaru a Tsundere or something?

She was standing in front of the current line for customers that wished to pick a host to spend a portion of their evening with, clinging onto the paper that Walker and Ryuu neglected to accept from her, but she couldn't blame them...she forgot about it to until she was about to go home. So here she was, after waiting ten minutes in line, she had to ask, and pay to see Orochi and Raion as a customer.. just to deliver the paper.

"Why do these things always happen to me...? Do I have to stay after I return the paper..? Would it be rude? Are they going to say I'm stupid for going so far to deliver just a measly piece of paper?" She voiced her concerns quietly as Hikaru spoke up about a thief, then she remembered he was the boy that hit Orochi. Was he calling one of the twins a thie- then she also spotted Hisoka while she tried to find Orochi and Raion. Hisoka was at his own station as well. H-he's a host!?

She then bowed timidly approaching Tsuki, " I need to see the Inuhoozuki brothers, please. and she held out the money, seeing as a girl or two just departed from the Twin's corner. That meant a vacancy and she was next in line. Her heart was suddenly beating almost out of her chest. She'd never been here until today, and now she was playing the role of a customer? What exactly would that entail? She waited for the other girl's response, vowing to never involve herself in something that didn't concern her again, crush or no crush!

It had been a perfectly normal day, up until the Host Club. Even for a nice few minutes, Walker had been able to spend some time with his favorite regulars, treating them the way they wanted to be treated, pampering themselves by pampering him. He almost wanted to call it a motherly complex, but he knew the main reason was because they wanted a slice of the American Pie(DAMN being the foreign person and the hotness is implied!). THEN a new first-year, Hikaru he believed her name was(Again, you try growing up around THEATER people and not learning how to tell who's a crossdresser and who isn't. Not that difficult unless they've gotten surgery for it.), stood up, insulted the club by not directly speaking of who the thief was, and then DARED to ask to join so she could enjoy a piece of pastry. Excusing himself from the crowd of girls surrounding him, he stood up, walked over to her, and tapped her on the shoulder, hiding his instant distaste for her behind a smile like any other he'd give to the clients.

"Excuse me, Miss Hikaru," he said, keeping his voice down so the clients wouldn't hear, but enough for Eri to hear, as this was a matter for the club, not just Walker OR Hikaru, "But if you wish to join for our delicious cake, you're going to have to say out loud to EVERYONE who the offender is, for even though I can see you're telling the truth and you most likely know the offender's identity, making all of the club look bad rather than just the actual thief is an insult to the rest of us. And I don't know about Eri's feelings towards this, but I rarely feel generous when insulted." Turning around to face the whole room, Walker clapped his hands twice, the attention of most every client in the room snapping to him.

"Ladies, fellow hosts, Mister Hikaru's story has given me a WONDERFUL idea!" he said, making sure to use the word "story" to dissolve a little bit of the tension Hikaru had built, then raising a fist up in front of his face in a pose, "A trial! A trial for the missing mystery heirloom! He shall name the accused, and we, as not a club, but a jury, shall find the truth in the darkness! Make the light pierce the gloomy unknown!" Walker swept around, now pointing at Hikaru, "You, the defendant, must state the name of the accused for all to hear! Who is the dread thief that whisked away your closest, dearest treasures?" He let the last words hang in the air, building tension and suspense. He knew at least half the clients would be eating this up right now, as ANYTHING would surpass the tedium of everyday life at a private school, even one as interesting as Ouran. He felt the weight of all the eyes shift from him over to Hikaru, the heat building with each passing moment.

"N...Nemui right? You're in my class aren't you?"

Nemui nodded at Tsuki, a small smile on her face. Sure, Tsuki was just as radiant as the hosts she managed... but she was female, therefore Nemui didn't feel the same nervousness, "This is the second year we've been assigned the same class." She agreed, though they never spoke in that time. This was the first. She never noticed just how beautiful Tsuki was until now, but perhaps it was due to the fact she'd never seen the other girl so close up before.

"Don't worry about paying, this one will be on me. You seem a little timid, this must be your first time here right?"

"You're sure?" She asked, a little confused by Tsuki's generous offer. It wasn't like Nemui was broke or anything, but the real reason came out. Nemui began to fidget as she thought about it. Is it that obvious that I've never been here before? She hesitated, but nodded slowly, "I've never.. this is entirely foreign to me.." She admitted a bit sheepishly.

"Oh~ You like the naughty type hm?"

"N-naughty type?" She asked taken by surprise, a blush forming on her face the exact moment Tsuki winked at her. The title sounded much dirtier than she was comfortable with, and it definitely didn't help her nerves, "I-It's not...well..." she couldn't just blatantly lie to Tsuki, she did have a crush on the twins per se.. but that was simply through looks alone. She didn't know them personally so as far as she was concerned, she wasn't truly sure if she liked them, or simply found them attractive.

"Well you're in luck, I also need to speak to the boys, seems they caused some trouble as usual. Would you care to come with me and scold them?"

"Scold them..?" she instantly got the image of Tsuki with a whip in her hands and a sadistic grin, a chill running down her spine as she shook her head, "I....think I'll let you.." she replied with a kind, but definitely very careful smile. She wasn't very self confident.. she seemed to be walking on eggshells almost constantly. EH!? Suddenly, almost without giving Nemui time to even realizing it, Tsuki was pushing her along. She was halfway to the twins when she realized what Tsuki was doing. She almost spoke up, but was far too close when she found the words. Instead she put a smile on her face and decided to keep quiet, letting Tsuki do the talking for now. Last time she simply embarrassed herself. She still owed Hideki an apology. She accidentally said something that could have offended him and she felt guilty about it all day, hoping he didn't take it the wrong way or think into it too much.

"You two~ You have a sweet girl here to see you. It's her first time so don't be too hard on her."

"Why is your face red, Kunomasu-cha-" Then it finally registered in Nemui's head. There was an alternate meaning, which she doubted was intentional, but it also made Nemui's face turn a dark red. She kept quiet after that, a little too embarrassed to speak. That sounded... so.. perverted... I can't breathe... my face is so hot...

"I also have something to discuss with you two. Seems some rumors of Yasuo are going around, something about him being engaged and having some sort of flesh eating illness. You two don't just let people get away with something that irritates you, don't go around spreading something like that."

They lied on Yasuo about something so disgusting? She was a bit disappointed in them, but she kept her judging to herself. It wasn't her place to judge anyone. She was simply here to return what was lost. Their moral code was none of her concern. That is, until Tsuki made it Nemui's concern quite abruptly. She felt the other girl's hand against her head and glanced up at her, only to realize she was being put on the spot.

"What if you drove away our precious customers like this one?"

....THIS IS ONLY A ONE TIME THING! She screamed inside of her head, I am not a pervert! I-I don't like this kind of stuff! she fumed, but on the outside her expression was that of pure confusion. She didn't know what was going on at all. Was Yasuo really sick or were the twins playing a sick joke? She pouted a bit, feeling out of the loop, but didn't take it personally. It wasn't like she was a regular or part of the club, so why should she be kept informed?

"That doesn't go for me though! I'm free to take whatever revenge on you two one day! Just you wait! So don't got messing with others or I'll hand it back ten fold!"

She got the image of Tsuki holding a whip again and shivered once more. This girl, as friendly and likable as she was, scared the living daylights out of her. Then there was Walker who joined in on the ruckus and seemingly ignored every time Eri tried to speak. She felt sorry for the poor ki- guy. He was the same age as her, yet even she considered him to be younger and childlike.

"Did you have something to do with that too...?"

Wow.. The twins must wake up very early in the morning. How do they cause so much mischief in one day? They must be exhausted in the evenings. Yasuo finally defused the situation, and she saw Raion pass something to Yasuo, but she couldn't see what it was. Perhaps the fact they were so close led her to the discovery, but she decided that outing the twins wouldn't help anyone. She could keep the secret. She'd forget she ever saw it.

"WE'RE SORRY WE SPREAD THOSE AWFUL RUMORS ABOUT YOU AND SHARED EMBARRASSING PICTURES AND MADE YOU LOSE ALL YOUR CUSTOMERS!"

They...apologized? Yet still their customers seemed to avoid them. Poor guys.. I mean they kind of deserved it.. but no one deserves to be shunned by everyone around them.. especially by girls claiming to love them. Shallow insincere harpies... She was kind of disgusted by the customers right now.

"No everyone hate's us Onii-chan...." "I-It seems like it Raion... Hey get off. Y-Your face its..." "Is it warm Onii-chan? I can't help it. I'm always warm around you..."

Seriously? It's not going to wor- Then she went wide eyed. Their faces were so close... Were they really going to kiss each other? Then as the girls returned to their own business as if they never planned to abandon the club, the twins grinned victoriously and even blatantly bumped fists.. Seriously..? She twitched a bit, still flushed. They just played with my emotions.. I-I let them get the best of me despite knowing it was fake.. They're dangerous...

"Sorry about that Tsuki.....Well well. We welcome you to our little slice of heaven." "You remind me of strawberry cake and that's awesome."

She bowed back, a small smile on her face, "Thank you...I'm not even sure how a host club works..." and she dug the paper from her bag, reaching it out to Orochi, only holding the corner of the paper to remove the risk of their hands touching. It was one of the papers he was carrying before Hikaru hit him. She kept it all day just to return it safely, not to visit as an adoring fan? T-too close... I'm... going.....to.. As soon as the paper made it's way from her hands to Orochi's... she fainted. All the radiant hosts in one place and being so close to the twins.. The entire day finally got the best of her. She had no more willpower left to fight the urge to give in to her embarrassment. She just couldn't handle this after all... At least she completed her mission first.

Ryuu stared at the mirror, a bit horrified at the monstrous that was happening in his doo, and lets not get started with his attire. Sighing, he turned the water on, "If only I had michelle phan as a wife.. then I dont have to worry about looks no longer." He scoffed, before brushing some water against his hair, pushing it back to something reasonably classy. Afterwards, he just made sure to properly tuck in his shirt, and fix his tie- He examined his short work, "Presentable."

Taking a step back from the mirror, making sure all was well, he turned to leave. "Well time to get to wor-" "Ryuu-Kun!" Several girls appeared at the door of the changing room, he blinked rather surprised. "We thought you werent here today!" The girls nodded in unison, and he merely laughed, "hahaha Sorry ladies, I had a pretty rough morning." He sighed tiredly, "Dont you wish we got more sleep." The girls began to chatter, starting a conversation among themselves, talking about how they study so late or have to do this for their fathers. He listened in keenly however, noting the stresses they all have- a skill he developed for not the host club, but just to interact with people in general.
"Well ladies, why dont we have a seat? I made you wait all this time so.. heh." He chuckled sheepishly, before giving them his signature grin. From the sight, they all smiled warmly, seemingly loosing their worries at that moment.. and it was because of his smile. They didnt know why, but whenever they saw it, they felt comforted and ready for tommorow. Ryuu was the one to talk them through with problems they may have or just worries, he seemed to know how to deal with it.. like a natural friend or boyfriend. Maybe he wasnt as exciting as the ones with the sexy grin, or the fetish (FOR THEIR TWIN BROTHER) but it was just nice to be with him. "Its alright Ryuu-Kun! We didnt mind waiting.." Another girl added, "Mhm, we were just worried that you caught the.." She hushed, the girls murmured among themselves, before whispering, "The flesh eating virus..."

Ryuu blinked. "Flesh.. eating virus?" Well surely that didnt scare him one bit. "Yeah I heard Yasou got it..." His heart clenched, but only for a moment. That was false, he knew it was.. right? He laughed nervously, "Come on, that couldn't be true, where did you hear that?" He pulled a few chairs out for them, sitting them down one by one, "We arent sure? Just buzzing around."
He grinned, "Well luckily.." He looked around, and spotted his brother (they dont know) "He is over there, dont see him bleeding."
The girls glanced past him, and giggled, "Yes I suppose its a rumor." "Thats probably right" "Uh huh, how silly we were!"
Ryuu smiled, taking a glass to drink.. lifting to his lips, he closed his eyes ready to quench his thirst- "But what about Yasou being with prince." His eyes widened.
He fumbled with his drink, and when he finally caught it, he looked at them with shock, "Eh EH!" The girls blinked, and smiled among themself at the idea of such a scandel, "Mhm~ Ryuu you didnt hear?"
"I-I wasnt aware... h-heh." He coughed, gaining his composure, "But Im sure this only adds to your imaginations." The ladies blushed, nodding shyly, this caused him to laugh once more.
"Well Im not sure if thats true, but anyways.. hows your day ladies? Coco did you make it to the deans list.." As he began to start up a new conversation, he glanced at his brother.. 'Was it true?.. of course not.. right?'

"Jeez!"

Nemui heard Yasou say before she fell into darkness. As she started to regain consciousness, everything she heard she couldn't tell who the the voice was coming from. her mind was foggy and lagged. Everything she heard was muffled, it actually sounded like she was under water. She couldn't find the energy to stand and her eyes just wouldn't open. She could hear voices everywhere, but one in particular seemed fairly close.

“Some...the.. nurse!”

She couldn't quite place the voice, but it was definitely familiar. She felt someone pick her up, but space and time was just all jumbled. She wasn't even sure if what she was experiencing was even real. For a moment nothing seemed to happen, she felt nothing at all, but then she felt sick. She was growing dizzy, and she wasn't sure why.

“Mi...? Miss, are you alright?”

Little did she know, it was Yasuo shaking her, and she heard the voice again, which actually belonged to him. It was frustrating, not being able to do anything to show that she was still listening. None of her body was following her demands. She wanted to speak, to stand up... but nothing was functioning properly. She felt paralyzed... in and out of consciousness.

"Glad... alright... Nemui. Prepare to catch... more in the future... Yasu...?"

That's a different voice... Who is it..?

" It looks...Twins...good...expect...regular customer.... reaction~! I'll stay here..cute...eat her...."

I'm definitely not hearing everything...I...I think... that's Tsuki's voice...? She couldn't move, but she felt her eyes twitching a bit, little by little she was regaining her strength. She felt someone lift her head, and she finally felt her eyes flutter open. She didn't have the strength to sit up yet, seeing as her vision was blurred and still adjusting itself back to normal. She chose to just listen in for now.

"Finally someone who might just have a bad habit similar to mine."

She blinked a bit, half because her vision was still foggy and half because she was confused by what Tsuki was saying. Bad habit? What's her bad habit...? She definitely hadn't witnessed it. The other girls fingers brushing through her hair was pretty relaxing, and helped her mind focus better, but her curiosity was beginning to eati her alive. That is, until she noticed something else that caught her attention. Something in the way she spoke to Yasuo. It was venomous.

"Yasuo you seem to be everyone's hero recently, why don't you give others a chance to shine?"

She glanced up at Tsuki, feeling a bit guilty. She didn't mean to pass out, but the hosts were quite overwhelming and she hadn't been in a room with that many attractive guys, ever. Though she didn't mean to make Tsuki upset. Does she have a crush on Yasuo-san? She wanted to ask, and despite feeling her energy returning, Nemui kept it to herself. Not because of the customers. She didn't voice her question because obviously Tsuki has never brought it up before. Apparently she was fighting an inner battle as well. Maybe we have more in common than I realized... Gomenasai... Tsuki-chan... I'll be more careful about your feelings...

"Go back to hosting, I'm sure the customers are eager to see you now more than ever."

As she sat up, she noticed that Tsuki turned her attention to the twins now. She looked between Tsuki and the twins, rubbing her head. Oh no.. She chewed on the inside of her cheek, tilting her head, "Tsu-" but she was too late, by the time she tried to interrupt, Tsuki already started.

"I said to be easy on her~"

Her eyes widened and she quickly stood. It wasn't a good idea to stand so quickly, because she wobbled a bit, but she stood in Tsuki's vision, not exactly blocking her vision of the twins, but giving her a visual that she was alright, "I-It wasn't their fault... I-I knew about my..." she had to think for a word about her creepy tendency to pass out around attractive boys, "..condition..." it didn't exactly sound normal, and it possibly made her come across as even weirder, but it was the only word she could find to suit the situation, "It's why I've avoided the club so long. I only meant to return the paper Orochi-san dropped when Hikaru punched him.. I thought I could handle it here if it was just for a quick moment."

She looked to Ryuu, Yasuo, and Tsuki, "Thank you..." then without really thinking about it, she ran over and hugged Tsuki, "Gomenasai... I didn't mean to cause anyone trouble..."

---

"It's nice to see that your not... dead... I guess. Please do be careful miss.... What was your name? I don't believe i caught it."

"No need to apologize? Hopefully our lovely hosts won't cause you to faint again...though they don't go easy on me. So you'll have to better prepare for it!"

Nemui let go of Tsuki and turned to face Orochi and Raion, "Nemui Yonkoma.." She felt a little disappointed but she hid it with a smile. There was no reason they should remember her. She was good at being a wallflower after all, "I'll do my best.." She nodded to Tsuki with a determined smile.

"She reminds me of Tsuki.. But a lot less blood. Do you want some cake ma'am? I'll share with you."

"Blood?" She asked curiously, but was distracted by the mention of cake. She pondered a moment but decided to accept, she'd already caused enough commotion earlier with her fainting spell.

"Don't spoil it Raion~!"

She was already brought away from the subject, and opened her mouth. Before Raion could feed it to her in an embarrassing manner, she leaned in for a bite, feeling less embarrassed if she sampled it herself instead of waiting on Raion to put the fork in her mouth like Eri did for Hikaru.

"Arigato, Raion-san.." She said after swallowing, but still was flustered by the gesture. She handled it better this way, though. She didn't faint and that was progress. Just when she felt like she might be able to survive around the twins, they looked to each other and smirked almost simultaneously. Why are they doing that? Did I miss something?

"Well you did come all this way to see us...."

H-he makes it sound like I traveled halfway across the globe... She thought to herself as she waited to see where this was going. It's not like that... It was more like a pizza delivery..

"We'd feel pretty bad if you came all this way to just pass out."

T-that's the only part they remember?! She wanted to crawl in a hole and stay there for eternity, but she couldn't think of a reason to escape the clutches of the host club.

"We'll just stay by your side until you feel all better then. Your free to rest up in our corner if you want."

Until I feel better? I feel fine now... Their radiance is what makes me feel dizzy... I'm not used to this... I-I can't bring myself to say no....

"Just don't pull anymore brotherly love alright? That means you Raion, you normally start that trouble. I'm surprised I haven't passed out from how frisky you have been with your brother."

Nemui blushed and laughed nervously at Tsuki, still a little uneasy about having fainted in front of everyone. Though she nodded in agreement about holding out on the brotherly love. She wasn't sure she'd survive another dose. It was... unearthly radiant. Then she remembered, [color=]"Wait a minu-"[/color]

" I don't want you to have her alone though, I want to know more about this girl."

"Huh?" She asked, a little confused and her excuse for leaving was interrupted by Tsuki draping an arm around her shoulders. She knew what came next, without hesitating Tsuki once again led her to the lion's den known as Orochi's and Raion's corner.

" I don't remember seeing you much in class, I tend to not notice a lot of things even though I don't get the lessons anyways. Tell me a little about yourself and why you chose the twins~"

She bit her bottom lip, feeling uneasy. By this point most of the twin's customers were giving her a death glare. She knew that they probably wanted to skin her alive by this point and expected some harsh treatment for the next few days, not that she wasn't bullied still... so it was nothing new really. She pulled out a glasses case and the case that her contacts came in. She took them out and put on her glasses, "Up until this year I wore glasses... and I focus mostly on my studies... I am in the top five GPA of our grade..." She wasn't bragging, more so explaining why she didn't stand out.. Then she tilted her head, "What subject do you need help with, Tsuki-chan?" She asked genuinely curious. She was kind to her, so Nemui wanted to do something for Tsuki in return. Though she conveniently forgot to answer Tsuki's question about why she chose the twins as a host. I hope she forgets...

"Ah, I was wondering. Have you two ever been without the other? Is it troublesome if you are?"

She was also curious, she never saw one without the other and if so, they were never out of eye shot. Did they have separation anxiety? She leaned over to Tsuki, whispering softly, "Their customers are glaring knives into me, should I leave?"

She finished up her makeup in a bathroom close to the host club's music room and entered the room just in time to be handed a number. She blinked at it, giggling a bit. 69, oh how dirty. I wonder who's idea that was... She though to herself, spinning happily once she heard her sister speak the same number aloud. Tsu-chan! Yay! She ran over and jumped on her sister's back, snickering a bit, "Looks like it's me and you Onee-san~!" she sang aloud.

She was dressed as a devil, or perhaps a succubi, it was all in perception of the costume. She left it open to interpretation. She slowly released her older sister after a moment of hugging, and stood in front of her, flashing the number as proof with a childish grin on her face, tongue sticking out as she did. Then she put her finger to her chin, "What are you supposed to be, Tsu-chan?" She gave an innocent blink, obviously baffled by the costume, "Mad hatter?" she asked throwing a guess out there, but she wasn't entirely certain. Then she looked around with a frown, hoping none of the dreaded club was going to join them. She hoped for a team of two so she could be alone with her sister for once. Ever since Tsuki joined the host club, Riko felt that her older sister's time was harshly taken up by managing it. She was incredibly jealous of it's members and she really didn't want to see one of them occupying her sister's time during what she plotted as sibling bonding time. She wasn't easily scared, except by cats, vampires, and love. Thankfully love wasn't a big factor in Halloween, so she doubted anyone would profess their love for her, despite the cutesy act she played when others were watching. She just didn't act mature enough to date, despite her hidden maturity level, so she didn't see the question popping up any time soon.

She dropped the sour look on her face after glancing around really quick, "You think there will be anyone else on our team, Tsu-chan?" she asked, tilting her head and giving the cutest smile she could muster. If she was careful, the rest of the club would never suspect "cute" and "dumb" Riko of attempting to cause their ultimate demise. She had to lay low because so far, she had nothing on the club. They were certified by the health department to serve food, they kept things legal, and didn't sexually harass anyone who was unwilling to their advances... and they were just so...nice...all the time. She had to find a weakness and eventually one of the members would supply such a thing to her. One of these days they'd allow the wrong 'type' of boy join and she could finally force Tsuki to spend time with her again instead of that group of soul sucking men.

What is so great about the hosts anyway? She thought with a pout, forcing her cute smile to remain on her face despite her sour mood.

"Aren't all the host members so sexy today~" Girls chimed, murmuring among themselves, "Oh but Eri~ he is so adorable in his clown costume" "mhm! I love how we can take advantage and dress up all sexily-"
"Excuse me."
The girls blinked, looking around, "...." before shrugging off seeing nothing. "Etto...Excuse me." A finger poked one of the girls shoulders, and they turned on their heels, "Wha- GAHHHHHHHHHHHH, GHOSTTTTT" They all shrieked one by one, sprinting from their spots and into the hall way leaving.. a ghost in the dust.

"...eh?" The ghost whispered, brushing her overturned hair back, she cocked her head to the side, 'Why did they run?' Glimpsing into the window's reflection, she realized immediately. "Oh my hair..." Mitsuki was surprisingly late the first day, so she ran not knowing that her new family had a car, plus she never knew rich schools had halloween parties, so she had to prepare last minute. 'I never could have afforded a car..' She thought, but she appreciated the efficiency of the vehicle.

"Well now what..." She looked around and saw a piece of paper on the floor, she picked it up and saw the the words "Team 2" in big bold print. Mitsuki blinked her seafoam eyes, "Team two.." she murmured, looking around the extravegent host room. Not sure what to do, she decided to ask the girls around them, but their reaction was always the same, a scream. 'That reminds me.. no one is dressed scarily... Isn't this a Halloween party?' She scanned the room to see girls in sexy cat costumes, and maid outfits.. while she was a wandering spirit. 'Maybe rich people have different standards?'

"..." Floating around the room, Mitsuki sighed.. "Someone help me..." Her voice came out in a moan.. causing a clear radius around her. Girls averted their gaze, scared out of their wits, while men whispered, wondering who she was. "She looks so scary, eek." "Is that the grudge..?"

Shrugging off, she saw a girl with orange hair, who was at least dressed a bit scarily- a zombie, and latched onto her was another girl, similar in appearance. She floated behind them with soundless steps, "...Excuse me.. What do I do with this slip of paper?" She stared at them with curious eyes between her black strands of hair.
