The Overflow

Chapter 11

"Yeah, really, why? This is the music room, right?" Haruhi asked about the displacement of the cage. "We have it just in case." I informed the girl before she tried to ask again. "But why?" Haruhi asked. I took the liberty of answering her once again but with a more comical approach, "it's for Tamaki when he gets too much." I told the girl with a small laugh. "We should use it more often then." She replied as we both began to laugh at the thought. Not long after our attention was distracted onto our little problematic apprentice. "Damn it! Let me out, let me out! Is this something you do to your cute little apprentice?!" The boy protested in anger. "That attitude of yours makes you far from the definition of cute. So, no you will stay there." I told the boy as Tamaki decided to add on. "Stay in there until you're calmer. I made you my apprentice since you really wanted to be a host, but I guess I was wrong about you."Tamaki told the boy a little disappointed.

"I'm serious... Really totally serious! I want to be a host, too!" The boy pleaded before falling to his knees. "I don't have much time left. Teach me...You like girls... You like to see girls happy... That's why you're a host, right? I beg you, please teach me! You're a genius at this, right, King?!" The boy said trying to sucker the gullible blonde into his plan which seemed to be working. "Don't you dare Tamaki." I told the boy as he shuddered before continuing. "Well, you may be impertinent, but your desire to become a host seems to be sincere. Plus, you somewhat resemble me. Sorry Lena." Tamaki said as he gave up on holding out on the rude boy. I sent death glares to the blonde before hearing a small whisper of disappointment from the girl beside me. "Poor boy..." Haruhi said. He's hopeless, I told her before receiving a small chuckle and reply from the shadow king. "He is indeed."

"Someone who cannot please ladies cannot be called a host. Very well. If you're willing to go that far, then think about how to make good use of your qualities." Tamaki said while the small boy questioned exactly what he meant. Kyoya began to explain, allowing the boy to not be as confused as before. "Our Ouran Host Club...makes use of our individual features and answers our customers' needs as our basic strategy. Starting with the prince type, Tamaki, we have the wild type, the loli-shota type, the little devil type, and the cool type, among the many variations we pride ourselves on. Also we have Lena at the loyal type.Then the honor student and natural rookie, Haruhi, joined us. "I'm the natural type?" Haruhi questioned trying to get a general idea of the categorical standings within the club. Before much longer Kyoya informed that the formation all together was complete to his satisfaction. "So our formation is now pretty much perfect. I wonder if we will find more types." The boy said.

The twins took rather a quick interest within finding the boys hosting label. "Age-wise, it'd be the shota type..." Hikaru said while Kaoru spoke rather quickly next. "... but then he'll overlap with Honey-senpai." Kaoru told his brother, allowing us to cross out Shiro being a shota type of host. What many didn't notice was the twins' comments alone made a certain small boy very upset. "Wahhh... Am I being replaced?" Honey questioned as his anxiety and emotions began to set in. "No Honey bear, we could never replace you." I told the small boy as I gave him a comforting hug. As the small boy now began to settle down our hug soon broke, leaving nothing but a raging Renge. "Not good enough! Not good enough, I say!" The girl shouted as she now made an appearance on her platform.

"Like I said, this place is a music room, right?" Haruhi questioned. "At this point.. I don't know anymore." I confessed to the woman as everything seemed to be very out of place. Renge took no notice to our question as she began to lightly insult the whole club as if she was our mother figure. "I didn't know you Host Club members were this poor at analyzing characters. I'm quite disappointed." Renge said before Tamaki questioned the girl. "Well then, Renge-kun, how would you bring out his qualities? Honey-senpai already owns the shota-type department." Tamaki tried to explain. A small roll of eyes sent the boy beside me to chuckle lightly. "They are so dramatic." I whispered to him, without looking over towards my way I could already tell he was still listening to every word I said. Small actions of him reaching his hand to hold mine made that very clear. However everyone seemed to be more encased within our predicament of the raging Renge. "And that's where you're not good enough! Listen to me! While it's true that we call girls who experience unexplainable throbbing at the sight of younger boys and babyfaces "shotacon" lovers, this kind of categorization is rather sloppy, and different preferences require even more delicate categorizing. Yes, while Haninozuka-senpai is of the more royal road, the "loli-shota" type, in that boy's case, the direction he should aim for has to be that of the naughty type!" She explained. "Naughty type..." Just as the boy repeated the same label he was given the metal cage began to be lifted. Now the real mission of Renge constantly blowing a whistle and coaching Shiro into her perfect fantasy has begun.
