The Overflow

Chapter 4

Time flew by rather quickly through the host club hours, revealing the casting sunsets to set upon the sky. Many would consider it to be the end of the day and return to their establishment for comfort but the host Club members were in fact still in the school building in their normal uniforms. The only noise that radiated from the room was little clicks coming from a laptop keyboard and the slurping of noodles from the once great host club king.

The positions of all the host club graced the seats around the room with Tamaki sitting at a small table while he slurps a styrofoam bowl of ramen. And the rest of the Host Club are at a larger table where Kyoya and Haruhi are sitting and the rest of the Host Club are standing. Every member became more aggravated by the minute with Tamaki's behavior, some would even compare it to a toddler. "Hey boss! Why don't you stop eating that commoner's ramen and come over here to help us with the party planning?" Hikaru yelled out trying to get Tamaki out of his mood. "Does it really bother you that Princess Kazugazaki has taken a liking to Haruhi?" Kaoru asked, making the king become even more gloomy than before. Kyoya on the other hand paid no attention while he began typing away once again at his computer, before giving an insider view of the girl. "He shouldn't be surprised. She's had the illness for quite a while now, hasn't she?" Kyoya asked while Haruhi's curiosity took flight. "What illness?" The young female asked. Hikaru then slid behind Kyoya and me, giving me the creeps before replying with the answer. "She's got the host hopping disease." Hikaru answered. Not long before a minute passed Kaoru followed suit to his brother and placed himself to the right side. "A.k.a. The never the same boy twice disease." Kaoru clarified, finishing off any confusion.

"Usually our customers choose a favorite host and see them regularly." Kyoya informed the female host. "However, princess Kanako tends to change her favorites on a regular basis." I continued before the sweetest host slide between Haruhi and Kyoya to make his presence more noticeable. "That's right! Cause before she chose you, she was with Tama-chan!" Honey told Haruhi as if it was a big achievement she has received. Haruhi looked as if she thought hard on her response before answering "Oh. So, he's upset because I took her from him?" Tamaki began his tantrum once again while coming over to the table. "Shut up! I couldn't care less! I'm running out of patience!" Tamaki said before he held one of his arms into the air, pointing at Haruhi. "Haruhi, it's time you started dressing like a girl!" Tamaki demanded hoping everyone will agree. Tamaki held Haruhi's hands with both of his hands and began shaking his head. "I don't understand how you could be so popular with the ladies when you yourself are a lady! No one in the entire school knows the truth except for those of us here!" Tamaki concluded while he began to hold a fist near his chest as if he was proud to come to that realization. The twins then switched their standing positions standing by Tamaki, Hikaru was on the left while Kaoru was on the right. Hikaru spoke first among the two. "Yeah, she opted out of taking gym classes." He said before his twin continued explaining "And the attendance numbers are all mixed together so no one can tell." Kaoru said before Tamaki ran to the back for something.

Tamaki then dragged a trunk to the center of the room, where he aggressively opened it up and dug through it. "That's enough, Haruhi! Now you listen to Daddy!" Tamaki demanded hoping his anatics would reach the girl. "You are being dramatic again," I stated before Tamaki showed a portrait of Haruhi with long hair. "Daddy wants you to go back to the way you were be-" Tamaki tried to finish before Haruhi got upset and yelled. "Don't go showing up my photos without asking me first!!" The female yelled as the host club king started to cry. The twins on the other hand took Haruhi's middle school portrait and placed it on a wall which now had all the hosts standing around it. As the host club took in more of the image, everyone began to wonder how Haruhi changed so much in a little bit of time. "The more I look at this picture, the more amazed I am. How could this possibly become that?" Hikaru asked Haruhi. "The day before school started, one of the kids in my neighborhood got some gum in my hair." Haruhi explained and then began placing a hand behind her head. "It's a real pain to get gum out of long hair. So I decided to cut it all off. I didn't care if I looked like a dude, you know."

Tamaki looked closely into Haruhi's face. "Girls should never refer to themselves as a dude! MAMA!" Tamaki yelled dramatically while crying out to Kyoya. "Haruhi is using those dirty boy words again!" Tamaki shouted while falling onto his knees with tears still streaming down his face. Kaoru was absolutely lost at the host club king's words. "Dude, sorry. But who is mama?"Kaoru asked as he turned his head to Kyoya. Kyoya took it upon himself to wear the title with pride. "Based on club position, I assume it's me." Kyoya said. Without a second to spare I turned to Kyoya, who happened to have his eyes on mine before greeting him. "Hey mommy," I said while showing off a small smile. Kyoya rolled his eyes before shoving my face back playfully. "Please never call me that again, Lena." Kyoya said before I replied again. "Whatever you say mommy." I said as I brushed off his request. The twins began to quietly laugh at our little banter before Haruhi spoke up again.

Haruhi placed her hands on her hips. "Look, I don't see what you're crying about. Working as a host, I can pay back more of my debt. It'll never happen if I'm just an errand boy." Haruhi tried to explain before the blonde could be any more dramatic. "Hate to change the subject, but do you have formal dance experience? You'll need it for the party." Hikaru asked while me and Kyoya began to work on the arrangements once again. "Uh... no... But the party doesn't have anything to do with my quota, right? I'm not interested in going to events. So, if I could be excused?" Haruhi quickly said as nervousness flooded her emotions.

Tamaki then comes up behind Haruhi, placing a hand underneath his chin as if he was actually thinking of something. "Absolutely not!" A refined gentleman must know how to dance. If you want to live the life of a host that badly, you're going to have to show us how far you're willing to go, Haruhi." Tamaki holds his arms out elegantly before continuing. "I order you to master dancing the waltz in one week and you will demonstrate it for us at the party or," He then aggressively points at Haruhi while coming to a conclusion. "I'll tell the whole school that you're a girl and knock you back down to errand boy!"
