You're a new writer huh? It's awesome you want to take on this challenge to write a Host Club parody :twothumbs
You don't know how many dramas and animes I've seen that makes me want to do the same haha :lol:
anyway, I vote for option A!!!!!
I will kill people if they vote for B!!! :shifty: then again, it's people's choice... but I won't read it though :smhid
I don't really care for C, but that's okay too since it does correlates with the original story.
-
Voting for option A ~ :D
'boyish looking girl
Hm, doesn't that sound like Sae's characteristic? :?
-
Hi!
I'm for A. Why do you ask? I don't know myself XD
Maybe Atsuko is in real life a famous Actress? And the idea that She tried to live a normal student life sounds completely cool. If it is possible in an elite school to live a "normal" school life... ^^! but that's another thing.
But how would that work? If she is really famous, would not all recognize Atsuko? And she would have enough money for paying off the dept.
Would be interested to know how you can solve that.
What interests me most is which pairs you give us. I hope for Atsumina, KojiYuu, the Twintower, Mariko-sama and Miichan, etc. ;)
And the other examples...
B: Let's put it this way, I'm not quite fond of Cross Dressing as a girl ^^! I like Cross Dressing as a boy, but not the other way. XD
C: sounds boring... and it would be pretty much the same as the original. No challenge for you Author-san. ;)
I hope I could help you in your decision. I'm already excited to see how you write the story.
hopeful see u soon!
-
I vote for A...since i like the orginal gender ^^
-
option A
but i hope one of your chapter use acchan danso :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
and takamina super girly and feminine :D :wub:
-
im choosing option A!!!!!!!
:>
-
option A i think ^^" but I think the secret can be more than that, maybe the secret can be carried by other character rather than acchan? maybe takamina is a boy XDDDDD and she pretend a girl and setup this club for her own wish hahaha XDDDD
-
definitely voting for option A!!! :drool:
-
i vote option A!! and who is pair wth atsuko ?
i hope atsuyuu hehe :lol:
-
I vote for OPTION A
Just can't wait to see how Atsuko acts as a host
Thank you
:twothumbs :twothumbs :twothumbs
-
Definitely A :lol: :lol:
I don't see Acchan as a boy who try to cross dress as a girl :smhid :smhid
Atsumina FTW XD XD XD
-
Definitely option A. Can't wait for the story :) :twothumbs
-
but.. its gonan be a host club girls who have a DANSO CLUB right?!?! that would be epic with Jun, Ren, Mario, Kai, Riku
I think the secret could be Acchan is the director´s daughter, or is poor, or is a rich girl
-
FINISHED!!! Chapter 1 Part 1 is here!!! :onioncheer:
I repeat, this fanfic is a collab work of myself, Ruka Kikuchi, and MaYukiIsLife. Big kudos and thanks to them. :twothumbs
Thank you to all those who have voted earlier in my first post on this thread!
See what the result is!
And so without further ado, here's chapter one of my first multichapter AKB fanfic!
=======================================================
Chapter 1 Part 1 - Welcome to the Host Club
During the Host Club’s service hours...
Once the host club is open for service, they receive a great line of guests who come to be entertained by their hosts and hostesses. Usually those who come to the host club are boys by majority.
Like ordinary host clubs, guests will select the host they like and sit and spend time with that host during the club’s service hours.
For instance, there’s the club’s president, Takahashi Minami. At her table, there were several boys sitting around that requested for her.
“Minami-chan, what’s your favorite music?” one boy asked her.
"My favorite music? Hmm...well it’d be obviously whatever all of you like,” the president of the host club replied with a smile.
Takahashi Minami
2nd year
Host Club President
Aka: Takamina
Now sitting beside Takamina is one of her regular guests, a cool looking guy from the same year as her. He set down his teacup and spoke, “By the way Minami, I heard that the host club has taken in a stray kitten. Is that right?”
“Eh? Oh that’s sort of true. More likely she’s our new errand girl,” Takamina corrected.
And speaking of which, the person they’re talking about at the moment was now arriving into the club room.
“Oh there she is now.”
Atsuko had just returned from grocery shopping for the host club, one of her duties as their errand girl.
"Oh welcome back Atsuko. Did you get everything on the list?" Takamina was the first to greet her.
Maeda Atsuko
2nd Year
An ordinary commoner girl
Currently the host club’s errand girl
Atsuko only gave a depressed sigh as she placed the shopping bag she has down on a table and took the stuff she bought out.
In all honesty, she really wished she wasn't here right now. However due to breaking a very expensive vase, she is forced to work for the host club in order to pay off her huge debt of 8 million yen.
Among the contents Atsuko had bought, Takamina then spotted something that caught her curiosity, something she did not recall putting on the list of shopping items.
“Hm? What’s this?”
She had never seen anything like it before.
“It’s instant noodles, what else?” Atsuko bluntly answered.
“Instant?” some of the club’s guests said with puzzled expressions.
It was something new to the rich students and the first time they've heard such a thing.
But then Takamina gave a gasp of realization. “Ah, I see! I’ve heard about this! These are commoner’s noodles! You just add hot water to it and it’s ready to eat!”
Looking over her shoulder is another host in the same year as the president, Minegishi Minami. She was bewildered as well upon looking at the instant product for the first time as well.
"Whoa...check out the price. It's a lot cheaper than when we order a deluxe noodle bowl in the finest Japanese restaurant," she commented.
Minegishi Minami
2nd Year
The mischievous and rebellious brat
Aka: Miichan
The other boys were oblivious after hearing about this product for the first time.
“Who knew, commoners don’t have the time to have their own noodles handmade...”
“Wow...so cheap.”
Not comfortable with all the comments about just one simple instant noodle cup, Atsuko unenthusiastically spoke, “If it’s that much of a problem then I’ll just buy something else.”
But the club president shook her head. “No...I think I am going to try some,” she said, earning gasps from the guests.
“Takamina...you mean you’re actually…?” Miichan said in bewliderment.
“Yes. I am going to eat this instant noodles!” Takamina boldly declared.
As if she’s going to perform something for the Guinness Book of World Records, the guests and some of the hosts gave sounds of awe and applauded for Takamina’s bravery.
“Geez these rich kids…” Atsuko couldn’t help but think. But then again, she guessed that this is how rich people lived.
“Atsuko, would you do the honors and demonstrate how the preparation is done?” Takamina then requested.
Since she was the only person who knows how to do it, Atsuko sighed and reluctantly dragged her feet over to where everyone is waiting. All she had to do was open each instant noodle cup and poured hot water in each one before she announced, “Here. It’s ready.”
Pleased, Takamina looked at her customers. “Shall we proceed with the tasting then?” she insisted.
Some boys however were hesitant to taste the commoners’ instant meal.
“I’m kind of nervous…”
“Would my mother scold me for eating this?”
Here Takamina used her hosting expertise to try and convince the boys.
“What if I ask the other hosts to help me feed it to you handsome princes?” she inquired with eyes that showed eagerness.
“...I’ll gladly eat it if you insist!” one of her customers shouted willingly.
After that fanservice, the other boys and guests joined in saying they will try it as well.
========================================================
Meanwhile, the other hosts were busy entertaining their own guests.
Sitting at one table together is Kashiwagi Yuki and Watanabe Mayu.
Yuki had the image of a princess and always charms boys and everyone with her kind smile and mother like nature.
Kashiwagi Yuki
2nd Year
The host with the princess image
Nickname: Yukirin
“A-ano, Yukirin...”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it true that you look after Mayu like you’re her mother?”
“Correct.”
“So, if you were able to… would you want a daughter like Mayu for real?”
“Hmm, let’s see...” Yuki rolled her eyes as she thought. “If I could… I would adopt Mayu.”
“Ooh~”
At this moment, Mayu was entertaining her customers by drawing something in her sketchbook in lightning speed, one of her well known skills that is quite popular with the fans.
Watanabe Mayu
1st Year
The anime otaku
Nickname: Mayuyu, Cyborg Girl
After 10 seconds, the 1st year said, “Done!”
She turned her sketchbook and showed her guests an anime character she just drew.
The customers applauded at her success.
“Sugoi!”
“Amazing!”
“Mayu-chan is so cute!”
“Mayuyu-chan, what is your favorite kind of anime?”
The anime lover took a moment to think. “Hmm...well...I love many kinds!” she pleasantly answered with a smile.
Her customers gave ecstatic sounds.
“She is so KAWAII!” they exclaimed.
“Mama~” she got up and walked over to Yukirin, hugging her from the back. “This is for you.”
“Nani?” Yuki looked at the picture, then blushed slightly when she realized…
“It’s you, Mama~”
“KAWAIIIIIIIIII~~~” All the boys cheered over Mayu’s cuteness and Yuki’s shy blushing.
Meanwhile, the handsomest member of the club, Miyazawa Sae, was conversing with her large group of customers.
Unlike the other hosts, Sae’s customers mostly consists of girls rather than guys. Why is that? It was because of Sae's handsome facial features and her boyish speech that got girls ogling at her.
Again, unlike the other hosts, instead of the usual skirt that all girls normally wear, Sae wears a pair of shiny black pants and shoes that you’d find the boy students wear. She still however keeps wearing the girls' shirt and the girls' blazer on since she is still a girl but she wears a tie loose instead of the girls’ bowtie to give it the casual look. This look matches perfectly to Sae's pleasure and so to fit her boyish image.
“Sae-chan, can you be my boyfriend?” one of her regular customers eagerly asked.
Sae graced the girls with a pleasing smile that would get you swooning. "Well of course,” she answered eagerly, “How can I not resist the request of a beautiful princess like you?”
Miyazawa Sae
2nd Year
The host club's boyish ikemen ‘Genking’
Sae’s smile and answer made the girls squeal and fawn over the handsome girl.
“Such energy! No wonder why everyone calls you Genking Sae-chan!” one girl praised with stars in her eyes.
And to finish that, Sae gave her special wink that got the girls squealing with glee.
"Oh Sae-chan's so cool!"
"She's like a prince!"
"If she was only a guy, I would totally date her!"
Oh yes, it seemed that Sae also has a knack of seducing anyone, boy or girl, with her cute yet boyish charm.
Then one of the girls had a question for the club's ikemen. "Ano Sae-chan, do you happen to know if Sayaka-senpai is coming in today?" she asked.
That question made Sae stop and take a peek at her watch to look at the time. Then to the guests she said, "Hmm, I haven't seen her yet. It seems she must be running a bit late today.”
At that moment, the doors to the club room opened followed by another cool voice.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Entering the club room now is the strong looking girl with a chiseled looking face and long flowy hair half tied back, 3rd year student Akimoto Sayaka. Like Sae, she too possess some handsome features a male would have like her fit muscles and wide shoulders, and also has lots of fans that are females. In addition, Sayaka also wore her uniform in the same style as Sae's, necktie, pants and all. She is known as the other prince in the host club, or rather the entire school.
Those who have requested Sayaka as their host and have waited for her to arrive were enthusiastic and squealing when Sayaka made her entrance.
"Oh it's Sayaka-sama!" one girl yelled in excitement.
“We’ve been waiting for you Sayaka-senpai!”
"Prince Sayaka looks so cool!"
In a regal voice Sayaka spoke, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, ladies."
Akimoto Sayaka
3rd Year
The host club's athletic, strong 'big brother'
Her fans and admirers squealed as if Sayaka is a male celebrity, all enchanted by her handsome looks and personality.
Now Sayaka and Sae's faces met and the 3rd year greeted her with a wave. "Hey Sae.”
Here Sae got to her feet, causing her clients to look at her.
"Sae-chan?"
All of a sudden Sae now gave out a child like yell. “Sayakaaa~!!!” she cried out.
She ran over and glomped her buddy with her arms around her. As she nuzzled her cheek against Sayaka's, Sae now became a completely different person.
Afterwards she began whining, “Ne Sayaka, you’re mean! Why did you show up late? It's difficult enough that we're in different grades and classes everyday for most of time we're at school so I hardly get to hang out with you except for when we're in the host club! I wanted to spend every minute of club hours with you!"
Sae seemed as though she instantly changed personalities from the cool, composed ikemen she acted a minute ago, to a cutesy girly child, now acting more like her gender.
“Sorry Sae. My aikido club meeting ended late today,” Sayaka replied in a cool voice, “But I seem to recall leaving you a text earlier apologizing that I'd be late."
"Eh?"
Sae stopped crying for the moment. Then to make sure, she pulled back and took out her phone to check her messages. A minute later Sae’s face lit up with realization followed by a gasp.
"You're right!" she said once she saw the text Sayaka spoke of that she must've not realized before.
Sayaka then placed a hand on Sae's shoulder, causing her to look up at her. "And if you've read further, I've also included that I was looking forward to spending time with you during today's business hours as well," said the older girl with that handsome smile of hers.
Having Sayaka's words proved true and hearing Sayaka return her feelings, Sae went back to embracing Sayaka again.
“Wahh Sayaka! As expected, you do care for Sae in every way! I’m sorry I doubted you!” she cried passionately, "You really are my best friend!"
Sayaka smiled and patted Sae's head. "That's okay. But even so, thanks a lot for taking care of my customers while I was gone. I knew I could count on you.”
Proud of herself, Sae gave a confident nod. “Un! You can always leave it to me!”
For these two, being in the different grade and class is pretty difficult. That is why Sae always enjoy every time she has with her best friend.
Those that are Sae and Sayaka’s customers at the moment were enjoying the two display their deep friendship and bond just now.
“How beautiful…”
"I never see Sae-chan act so cute except when she's around Sayaka-senpai."
“I feel like this is like a forbidden love…”
“I’ve never seen such a beautiful bond between friends!”
"No wonder why they are the club's princes!"
“That’s the Twin Towers for you!”
Ordinarily, you'd think that it'd be strange at how somehow like Sae could be so cool and but instantly becomes childish the next thing. However the Twin Towers' customers were already used to it by now.
From a distance, Atsuko had watched the entire scene and interaction between the tall handsome girls that looked like something would see from a drama.
"Just what is the relationship with those two?" she just wanted to ask.
She can tell from their behavior that these two definitely share a relationship that's not what you call a normal friendship. However just from their appearance, there was something Atsuko couldn't interpret.
“Are those two really girls?” she wondered aloud.
“Oh they’re girls. But Sayaka and Sae’s appearance and personalities do seem to relate to boys don’t they?”
Mariko, who happened to be standing next to Atsuko without making a sound, had just spoken to Atsuko just now, startling the transfer student.
Mariko continued with her explanation, “As you can see from their looks, Sayaka and Sae are seen as boyish most of the time. That is why they're the perfect selection for girls that have an interest in danso, which is also the reason why their customers are normally girls rather than boys. Since they both have similar personalities in sports, characteristics, and nearly the same height, we call them the Twin Towers. Plus…”
Girls are heard squealing again from the Twin Towers’ table, this time in reaction to seeing Sae now sitting beside Sayaka and trying to offer her a cake that was provided as a present from one of Sae’s guests.
"Okay Sayaka, open up!"
"Sae, you're embarrassing me…”
"Oh come on! Don't be shy! Now say ahh!"
By Sae’s cuteness and the fact that she’ll never stop until she does so, Sayaka gave in to the genking’s request and opened her mouth to let Sae feed her a piece of cake.
“Mm...It’s good,” the taller of the Twin Towers complimented after swallowing.
“Ain’t it?” Sae said in return.
Again, screams of excitement were heard from their fans.
Mariko continued, “...the girls seem to enjoy the fact that those two look like a cute pair despite the both of them looking boyish. Plus it's only when she's with Sayaka does Sae show her girly self that is occasionally rare to see.”
"Those two are that close huh?"
“Yup.”
“Nee, me too, Sayaka~” the Genking now requested.
“Alright, alright,” Sayaka took a piece of cake and fed it to Sae, who happily kicked her feet.
“Oishii~”
“KAWAII~~~~” All the girls harmonized.
At another table, the club’s other midget member, Oshima Yuko, was sitting down with some guys and another fellow host in the same year and class as her.
Right now Yuko was sharing a fun story to their customers.
She spoke in an enthusiastic voice, "So that’s when Kojiharu did the cutest thing. She hugged me so tightly, my face was buried in her chest. She was crying, too, and I had to comfort her for 30 minutes until she fell asleep while STILL holding my head against her perfect boobs~~~"
Oshima Yuko
3rd Year
The funny (and perverted) host
At her story, the taller redhead girl gave a whine, as she was not pleased with her fellow 3rd year sharing such a story about herself.
“Hold on Yuko, don’t share something like that! It's embarrassing!” she complained, slapping Yuko’s arm with a pout, "Mou...Why do you always make fun of me?"
Kojima Haruna
Nickname: Kojiharu
3rd Year
The host club's no. 1 airhead
Yuko changed faces when she saw Kojiharu's unsatisfied face. She now looked so guilty and sorry.
“I’m sorry Nyan-Nyan," she said, "But I couldn't help myself. I just had to tell them how cute you were. Will you forgive me?”
She was looking up at Kojiharu with eager eyes that begged for her forgiveness.
Looking at Yuko's face that's full of innocence, the taller 3rd year couldn't resist staying mad at her and gave a sigh of defeat.
"Well alright, you're forgiven,” she reluctantly said.
Yuko lit up with a smile and said, “Nyan-Nyan, daisuki~!”
Looking at them, Atsuko had some pretty puzzled thoughts, especially with the squirrel looking girl.
“Is that girl really a 3rd year student? And I can’t seem to think that she acts like an old man around Kojima-senpai…” she thought.
Now the host club’s youngest member came into the room a bit later than everyone else. Unlike the others though, this girl wore a different jacket than everyone else. This is because she is still in middle school.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Matsui Jurina cheerfully called out, “My class kinda ended a bit late. Gomen!”
Even though she's in middle school, she has the time to come to the high school to attend the host club.
Matsui Jurina
3rd Year (Still in Middle School)
Childlike, lolicon type
Currently the host club's host-in-training
Now at that moment, Jurina had noticed Atsuko and instantly got up and ran over to her while shouting enthusiastically, "Hey Acchan!"
However something she said puzzled Atsuko. “A-Acchan?”
Jurina nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It's the nickname everyone decided to call you by!"
Mariko then spoke, "Oh that’s right. You don't know this, but here in the host club, it's quite normal that each of us hosts have a nickname for each other. It's Takamina's idea so the club could bond more closely as she says. And it looks like the others here have come to the idea of calling you Acchan from here on.”
Jurina had a frown on her face, seeing Atsuko.
“You don’t like it?”
Unwilling to make this middle schooler any sadder, Atsuko tried to smile. “O-Of course I like it.”
Hearing Acchan’s answer, Jurina gave a “Hn?” expression...as if she realized something…
And a light bulb lit up...
But that disappeared and Jurina was smiling again. “Alright then. Acchan it is.”
And the cheerful middle school girl skipped off to return to her customers.
“Everyone, what should we do today?” she happily said to the boys at her table.
As she watched, Atsuko spoke, “That girl is a middle school student? I couldn’t sworn she was a high school student like the others.”
Mariko took this opportunity to explain a bit of their club’s function to Atsuko.
"Every of our members are being requested by each of their unique characteristics to satisfy those with specific interests. Take Takamina for example, she's our leader and our number one host, if you take out her failing characteristic here and then,” she began, “Her request rate is 86.9%.”
Shinoda Mariko
3rd Year
Sadistic type
Host club's vice president
Aka: Mariko-sama
Mariko then decided to give a little piece of advice.
“Oh and one thing I’d like to mention, as long as you are here to pay off your debt, I hope you don’t have any thought of trying to run away. Just so you know, one of the girls here has a private police force that works under her family. They are trained to obey any order and can track down anything or anyone.”
She said this with a sadistic smile on her face that gave Acchan the creeps.
“While I'm saying this I should ask you…do you have a passport by chance?" the 3rd year inquired.
Just from that question, Atsuko became more creeped out with the thought that she'll be shipped out of Japan if she tries to escape from working in the host club to repay her debt.
“Uh...”
“Atsuko~” Takamina came in and pulled the girl away, just in time. “How are you liking the Host Club so far?”
“It’s fine, I guess, but I’m still trying to get used to all this fancy stuff. I’ve never actually--”
But she was interrupted by Takamina.
“A good lady should know how to look pretty and attractive to gain the boys’ attention! It's in our nature!” she began to lecture like a teacher. “In that case, allow me to share some helpful tips of advice!” she then willingly insisted, “For starters, when you serve a cup of tea, remember to stick your pinky out so to cushion the cup and saucer onto the table quieter…”
Takamina didn’t know that while she’s continuing her lesson, Atsuko’s mind was preoccupied in something different.
“This girl...something about her is...what’s the word?” she thought.
She continued thinking hard on finding the word that describes Takamina.
In the meantime, Takamina, unaware that the transfer student is paying no attention to what she’s saying, continued talking and talking until she was now about to conclude her small lesson.
“...And that’s how you can become more attractive to the gentlemen! So, did you get all of that just now?”
Here Atsuko came upon a realization and said, “Ah, I got it!”
Takamina assumed that Atsuko has caught up and following on her lesson and became pleased with her own success in teaching.
“Oh? Do you understand?”
However Atsuko spoke, “...Obnoxious.”
Takamina: :stoned:
That one word from Atsuko caused hurt in Takamina’s pride that she went to a corner and sat there in trauma. :mon POd:
However for some like Miichan, they were impressed. “Haha! Nice one there Acchan!” she commented after laughing in amusement at Takamina’s fall.
A bit guilty that she caused Takamina to become like this, Atsuko thought that maybe she should cheer her up in some way.
“But if it makes you feel better, I did felt a little inspired by your small lesson Takahashi-san.”
This time the words that came from Atsuko were the magic words to resurrect the president.
“Really?” she said with an enlightened smile, "In that case, let me teach you more on how to become a perfect host, my friend!"
Just before Atsuko was going to state that she declines the offer, Miichan interrupted with a thought she has in mind.
"Before we get into that Takamina, don't you think we ought to fix her appearance first if she wants to get attention?" she insisted, “Maybe she should take off her glasses to look better."
When she did so, Miichan got a stunning discovery when she saw Atsuko's face that has been hidden behind the glasses and bangs.
Running footsteps are heard and Takamina came in so she got a good look at Atsuko’s face and had the same reaction Miichan had just a few seconds ago.
She then summoned the three known as the Shinyuu Trio with the snap of her fingers.
“Yuko-san, Sayaka, Sae-chan!”
Yuko saluted, knowing exactly the president's intention. “Right! Let’s go guys!” she announced.
Without further notice, the Twin Towers replied with a “Hai!”
Then the two tall girls each grabbed one of Atsuko’s arms and hurried off, dragging the confused 2nd year with them and Yuko out of the room while Atsuko cried out, “What’s going OOOON?!”
Once they’re gone, Takamina moved onto the next tasks at hand.
"Miichan, contact the tailor!"
Miichan pulled her cellphone out and made a quick call. "Yes we're gonna need one uniform set prepared immediately," she requested.
“Mariko-sama, Kojiharu-senpai, get Itano and Kasai here on the double! Tell them it's an emergency!”
Mariko and Kojiharu nodded and had their cellphones out and speed dialed the two people for the job. Mariko spoke in her phone, "Tomochin it's me. Are you busy at the moment? We need a makeover done."
"Yukirin and Mayuyu, run down to the eye doctor's and order a new set of contacts!"
The two nodded and rushed off to do as she instructed.
“Nee nee! What about me president?”
Takamina looked at Jurina, the only one left without a job to do.
“Jurina...” Takamina began.
“Yes ma'am?” the middle schooler said eagerly, awaiting for her answer so she looked like a puppy wagging it's tail.
“You...go eat some sweets,” Takamina said in the end.
A depressed Jurina sat at a table by herself, moping for being left out of the fun. All she has for company is her stuffed bear that she usually brings with her to the club.
"It’s just you and me now Kuma-chan," she pouted, “All the other big kids are too busy…”
========================================================
Now the Twin Towers have dragged Atsuko into a different room where there’s a changing stall set up using curtains. The Twin Towers brought her into the stall and closed the curtains.
“Um, really you two, what’s going on here?” Atsuko asked nervously once they’ve finally released her arms.
However none of them answered her. Instead, Sae called out to the outside, “Yuko, you got it?”
Entering the changing stall now is Yuko. In her hands she has a brand new uniform that matches the one she and most of the other hosts wear that was ordered by Miichan.
“Yep! Got it!” the squirrel confirmed.
Then holding the uniform out to Atsuko, Yuko instructed, “Here you go. Change into this uniform.”
Atsuko stared at the brand new uniform then at the squirrel girl. “Huh? Why?”
“Don’t ask questions. Go on! Change!" Yuko urged, ignoring Atsuko’s questions.
Impatient, the short 3rd year leaped on top of Atsuko and began tugging her shirt to further urge and hurry her to change.
"Hey wait a minute-! Cut it out!"
"Change! Change! Change!" Yuko continuously chanted.
“Senpai don’t just tug at my shirt like that! Stop! You’ve got to get out now!”
Luckily for Atsuko, she was saved when Sayaka grabbed Yuko by the back of her collar off of her and showed magnificent strength as she held the squirrel girl in front of her in the air.
“Come on Yuko, don’t act like a pervert in front of the new girl,” the taller girl scolded.
She then walked towards the exit, carrying Yuko in tow, who now pouted.
"When you're done changing, wait here a moment," Sae instructed to Atsuko before following Sayaka out, "The hair stylist will be here soon."
As she was being dragged outside, there was something Yuko realized that made her wonder.
She said to herself, “Hn? Just a second ago...her voice...she almost sounded like…”
And right then, a light bulb lit up in that squirrel’s head.
========================================================
About an hour or so later, all of the hosts are gathered outside the changing stall Atsuko is in, waiting to see the results of their work.
Finally Atsuko's voice was heard from inside the changing stall.
"Ano...?" she spoke with uncertainty.
"You done changing yet?" asked Takamina.
She and the rest of the hosts got to their feet and gathered in front of the changing stall, ready to see the results of their work.
When the curtain is pulled back, out stepped a beautiful girl wearing no glasses and in a nice clean uniform matching the other girls and her hair is styled neatly and not messy. It's as if she now has the same shiny aura sparkling from her just the same as the other hosts do.
“Is this really okay on me?” the new girl asked the group.
Instantly Takamina lit up with ecstasy. "Adorable!" she exclaimed, "You look so cute!"
The other members gave their comments as well on Atsuko's new look.
"Wow you look neat Acchan!" said Jurina.
"I could pat your head as if you're a little brother!" Sae squealed.
"Definitely different than your previous look. You look much more like a girl now compared to those old rags,” Miichan commented.
"If we'd had known this is what you'd look like, then we would've done this sooner!” said Yuko.
It was here that Mariko decided to throw in a suggestion. "Who knows? She might be able attract some customers with that appearance."
Having caught wind of this mention, an idea came to Takamina. "Our minds seem to think alike Mariko-sama," she commented, "For that...Atsuko here is going to get a raise in the ranks."
Atsuko blinked and confusedly said, "Huh? What?"
Takamina now turned and pointed at Atsuko. "Atsuko, starting tomorrow, you are now an official host in the host club!" she declared, “You shall entertain customers like we do and I shall personally teach you everything there is to know about being the proper host!”
"Me? A host?"
"Tell you what, if you can get 100 customers to request you, then your debt will be excused," Takamina then proposed.
And without hearing Atsuko’s answer, the other hosts then came to welcome their newest member to the club.
“Welcome aboard new host!”
“Yoroshiku!”
"You're a part of the group now Acchan!"
"Atsuko, fighting!"
“This can’t be happening…” Atsuko thought.
Just when she thought it was worse enough being the errand girl for the host club, it just gotten more worse.
How will she do as a host?
TO BE CONTINUED...

The setting and the concept are the familiar to 'Ouran High School Host Club' anime or manga.
The anime is one of my favorite so I'm looking forward to this story to see how the story and the characters are going to develop.
Atsuko is Haruhi Fujioka
Takamina is Tamaki Suou
Mariko is Kyoya Ootori
WTower are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin when they were acting cute with each other
Mayu is Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka when she went to act like a child to Yuki
Yuki is Takashi "Mori" Morinozuka when she was comforting Mayu
Jurina is Mitsukuni "Honey" Haninozuka when she was sulking from Takamina rejected her from helping and the second that notice anything about Atsuko
Yuko and Haruna are similar with Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin when yuko was teasing Haruna
What about Itano and Kasai?
Well very interesting indeed...
Can't wait to see how the story is going to continue
Thank you for the update

WHEW! Finally part 2 of Ch 1 is done!
Sorry to keep everyone waiting! :kneelbow: This past month I was busy preparing for finals and some events came up that I got sidetracked. All the studying I had to do... :fainted:
But enough with the depressing moment! On to part 2!
Previously, new student from the commoner class Atsuko ends up from being the host club's errand girl to becoming an official host. How will she handle her first time on the job?
================================================================
================================================================
CHAPTER 1 Part 2 - Welcome to the Host Club
The next day...
Better than work as an errand girl, Atsuko chose to work as a host in order to clear her debt faster. And so the very next day began Atsuko’s first day as a host.
It was exciting for the boys that usually visit the host club to hear that there is a new host in the club. Much to Atsuko’s nervousness, she had several boys requesting for her on her first day.
The boys that requested Atsuko wanted to know more about her. Apparently thanks to the makeover the other hosts did to her, the boys were attached to her cute and pretty appearance.
“So Maeda-san, what are your hobbies?”
“Hmm…I like reading,” Atsuko first answered.
“Ooh~ what kind of books do you read?”
“Eto...”
Atsuko’s mind was blank. She has no idea what she’s supposed to say as a host. However she kept reminding her mentally to keep it together.
“Get a hold of yourself. All you need to do is to get 100 customers to request me then I can get out of this club,” she thought, “I guess for starters, I should share something...But what?”
Atsuko was trying to come up with something she could tell her customers, but nothing came.
“Nee, Atsuko, you must come from a wealthy family if you applied here, huh?”
“Eh?”
“What’s your family like?”
That gave Atsuko the idea she needed on what she can share with her customers.
“That’s...”
A distance away from Atsuko’s table, Takamina was keeping a watchful eye on their new member, wanting to see how she does on her first try. She couldn't keep her mind off wondering about Atsuko that she nearly forgot her own guests to attend to.
“You are that concerned about your new member Takamina?” the girl sitting next to Takamina said.
Takamina came back to the present when she heard her guest speaking to her.
“Huh? Oh Acchan? Well, I guess I am a bit concerned, you know since it’s her first day of being a host and all,” she said with a hesitant chuckle.
Back at Atsuko’s table, after a while, the boys became saddened when they heard Atsuko share her touching story.
“I see...so your mother died a few years ago and now it’s just you and your dad.”
“Yeah… After Mom died, dad became depressed and has been getting sick more often. He doesn’t have a job and at his age, it’s harder for him to get work. Ever since, I try to take care of things around me when he’s not able to.”
“It must be so difficult for you Maeda-san,” said one of her customers.
But Atsuko shook her head. “I’m not that sad. Sure it’s been a bit rough for us once in a while, but in the end, I just enjoy how I’m living and the moments I share with my dad,” she said, ending with a honest smile.
From that smile of hers, the boys were instantly drawn to her.
“Maeda-san, would it be alright if I request you tomorrow?”
“Me too! I would like to have you again!”
“Why of course,” Atsuko willingly answered, “It means a lot to me.”
Of course she’s pleased by their requests only because she needed as many customers as she can in order to clear her debt.
Watching Atsuko just now, seeing how she made the boys lively after just a smile and bright words...a light bulb lit up in Mayu and Yukirin's minds...
From where she is, Takamina heard the boys around Atsuko’s table shower her with praises. She had never expected Atsuko to be successful on her first try.
“I don’t get it...She’s become a hit on her first day,” the president mumbled.
“No training needed,” Miichan included.
“Wow! Acchan is a natural!” Jurina said, giggling as she hugged her teddy.
In the meantime, Yukirin then brought up a new topic that she was curious about.
“That reminds me, does anyone know when she’ll be returning to Tokyo?” she asked her fellow club members.
“Uh-huh! She called me and said she’ll be coming home by the end of this week!” Jurina mentioned.
“Well that’s good. Things will be more fun when all of our club members are here again,” said Miichan.
Then Yuko thought a bit and recalled, “If I seem to remember correctly, she and her parents were invited to be guest judges at some kind of cosplay contest in Sakaejima is that right?”
To respond, Jurina nodded to confirm Yuko’s sentence.
“I heard, she got to stay at this HUGE mansion where all the contestants were living together!”
“Sugoi~”
“If I recall, she told me there was a maid, a nurse, a sister, a cowgirl, a miko… Mm~, one was dressed like a man.”
“Maji?!”
“And there was also one person dressed like a princess, but… she kinda looked like a boy.”
“Sounds like it’s a pretty crazy contest.” Yuko stated. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Now here Takamina decided to do something with their new host.
She called out, "Hey Acchan, come here for a moment."
Hearing the president call for her, Atsuko approached the table where Takamina and her customer are.
"I'd like you to meet someone," Takamina said then gesturing to the girl beside her, "This is my regular guest, Yokoyama Yui.”
Atsuko then remembered her manners on what a host should do when greeting someone. She put on a bright smile and said politely, “It’s very nice to meet you Yokoyama-san.”
"!!"
What she just said and did just now made Takamina gasp and triggered a switch inside her.
The next thing Atsuko knew, she was receiving a crushing hug by the short president who is now filled with excitement.
"Oh that was so adorable!" Takamina praised as she spun in place with Atsuko in her arms, "So beautifully done! The way you greeted, the smile, so cute! I could just eat you up! Oh you’re just so CUTE!”
As Takamina continued shouting praises, she isn’t aware that Atsuko is suffocating in her grip.
Stuck in a suffocating hug and receiving the fatherly love by Takamina, Atsuko got to the point where she had to cry out to the first person she can think of that is sitting at the same table with Sae and their customers a distance away from where she is.
“Sayaka-senpai, help me!” she desperately cried when she spotted the 3rd year a distance away.
"!!"
Those words of plea triggered a switch in Sayaka, the switch that activates whenever she hears a person in dire trouble.
In a second, she was right there to grab and hoist Atsuko in the air and out of Takamina’s reach. Her magnificent strength was displayed once again as Atsuko was lifted up about 2 feet or so from the ground.
In that second while raising her in the air, Sayaka came upon a startling realization that made her softly gasp.
In her head...a light bulb switched on...
“Uh Sayaka? You can put her down now,” Takamina hesitantly spoke. It looked a bit awkward how the 3rd year was still holding Atsuko from the ground. “Come on Acchan, let Daddy here give you a big hug!”
“I don’t need another hug thank you,” Atsuko bluntly declined, “And why are you calling yourself my dad?”
"In this club I am your dad!"
"I already have a dad. There's no reason for me to have another."
Takamina pouted when she heard Atsuko's blunt response. Just then, a voice rose.
“Minami must really love ya, huh?” Yui said, revealing her Kansai-dialect.
“Eh..?”
“Oh, nothin’. Just talkin’ to myself.”
Atsuko just nodded it off, but she had no idea how the Kansai girl would affect her.
========================================================
Later that afternoon, when it was time for students to go home, Atsuko had come across a small problem when she noticed that her school bag was missing from her desk where she usually leaves it.
She spent a while searching through the school, checking the places where she’s been the entire day. It wasn’t until she was walking down a hallway when she spotted what she’s looking through one of the windows.
“My bag!”
Atsuko ran outside and towards the fountain, where she found her bag from the window. To her dismay, she saw everything was soaking wet and scattered in the water. She quickly took off her jacket and picked out everything. After a while of wading in the fountain and picking up her stuff, she realized her wallet was the last thing that’s still missing.
“Oh no…I need to find it, or I won’t have any money..!”
As she continued searching in the water for her wallet, she then heard the voice of Takamina from behind her.
“Acchan, what are you doing?”
The president had wondered where Acchan had gone when she was late to show up for the host club minutes ago.
“I have to find my wallet…or I won’t be able to pay for lunch...” said Atsuko as she still searched.
Mentioning this, Takamina looked down and noticed some of Atsuko’s things and schoolbag were lying on the ground wet after Atsuko had fished them out of the fountain just a moment ago.
“Hm? What happened to your bag and your stuff?”
“I uh...accidentally dropped my bag in the fountain,” Atsuko lied.
Takamina had a serious look on her face, a change in her eyes, watching Atsuko seriously looking for her wallet. She then took off her jacket, shoes, and socks, and stepped in.
“Takahashi-san?” Atsuko spoke with surprise when she heard Takamina enter the water, “You don’t need to help me. You’ll catch a cold-”
“I’m helping too,” Takamina said, her voice firm and confident, “I can’t leave you alone...”
Atsuko saw her search in the water with no complaints and a determined look to show that she is serious about helping her.
Just then, the other members of the host club, who Atsuko only saw as rich kids, had all arrived. After seeing the trouble, they all jumped in to join the search for Atsuko’s wallet as well. The girls Atsuko saw as princesses, now down on their hands and knees in the fountain.
“Brr! That’s cold!”
“It’s like a game of treasure hunt!”
“Count us in!”
“The more the merrier as they say.”
“I suppose we can close the club for today.”
Atsuko was speechless at everyone’s efforts to help her. “Everyone...”
Seeing all their members gathered, Takamina then proposed, “Alright, it’s a competition to see who finds Atsuko’s wallet first. Game...start!”
“Yosh! I’m gonna find it first!”
“No way! We’re going to find it!”
“Are there any fish in this fountain?”
“Is this it?”
“Kojipa that’s not a wallet.”
“Oops.”
While the girls continued their search for the wallet, someone was watching them from one of the windows in the second floor.
========================================================
“I can’t believe we couldn’t find it...” Acchan said as she wrung the water out of her socks.
“Maybe someone else already has it.”
“Takamina? Girls?” They all looked and saw Yui was already at the clubroom.
Acchan gazed at her, realizing what had happened.
“You… It was you who threw my bag into the fountain, wasn’t it?”
“Eh?”
“A-Acchan!”
“That’s rude.”
“I don’t know, girls… She had this off aura when she was around me. I think, maybe...”
“Maeda-san, please, don’t get the wrong impression of me...”
Acchan bit her lip, not knowing what to do. Could she really trust this girl, or was it all a mind game?
However Takamina had a face that showed disappointment.
“I’m disappointed, Yui...I didn’t expect this kind of behavior from one of our regular guests.”
“What? What are you talking about?” Yui responded.
“I believe you do. It was you who threw Atsuko’s bag out in the pond...wasn’t it?”
Not just Atsuko, but Yui was surprised by this statement.
“That’s ridiculous. Where’s the proof?” Yui questioned.
“Would this suffice?” Mariko inquired.
Next to the vice-president, Mayu held up an iPad and showed a photos of Yui holding Atsuko’s school bag and throwing it into the pond, catching her in the scene of the crime.
“See...” Mariko said as everyone stared shocked at the evidence. “As you can see, we’ve caught our culprit red handed, if I do say so myself.”
Her act exposed, Yui looked at Takamina. “One bag and a wallet with little money makes no difference! She’s just a plain commoner! Takamina…are you really going to side with someone like her?”
“Atsuko may be a commoner...but as long as she’s a member of this club, I don't treat Atsuko by her commoner status. I treat her as equally as how I do with all the members in this club,” Takamina began, “Unfortunately...those who act harsh to any of our club members do not deserve to be one of our guests.”
Yui stood there silent for a moment before arruptently trying to leave, when…
“Yui,” Takamina called out. “Even though what you did was wrong, the purpose of the Host Club is to please and show hospitality to any guests that walk in our doors. Please choose to reflect and reconsider your thoughts about what happened today, and after that, we will gladly re-accept you into our Host Club.”
She then turned to face their new host. “Is that alright with you, Atsuko?”
Everyone would expect Atsuko not to forgive Yui after what she did with her bag. However Atsuko surprised everyone, including Yui, by nodding and replying, “Yes. I hope you will continue to visit the host club.”
A sparkle seemed to shine in her eyes when she said that.
After a bit of silence, Yui softly began, “...I…”
“Hm?”
“..I’ll think about it.” she said before turning and leaving.
After seeing Yui leave, Miichan then wanted to make a comment. “Man that scene just now certainly looked like something from a drama,” she said.
“You definitely are something else Acchan,” said Sae.
Takamina then needed to clarify something that disappoints her.
“However...even though it all ended well Atsuko...in the end you did up disappointing a customer, which is not good for the reputation of a host. Therefore...your quota is raised to 1,000!” she declared.
Shock hit Atsuko straight in the face. That now meant that Atsuko’s quota of customers to get was now 1,000.
“Maji de?!” she exclaimed.
“I hope to expect a lot from you, our new rookie,” Takamina said with a smile.
Something told Atsuko that her time in the host club is going to be like living in a dream she will never wake up from.
===========================================================
The next day, Acchan got a surprise when she found a huge stack of various kinds of instant meals, or what rich students call commoners’ food.
“Don’t tell me...this is from Yui?”
In her hands, Mariko held a note that was left by Yui. She read, “I’m sorry for causing trouble the other day. Please enjoy these ramen noodles. Hope you all will forgive me. -Yui.”
Jurina gazed at the huge stack in awe. “Whoa...What are we going to do with all this?”
“It’ll take us weeks to finish all of this on our own that’s for sure,” said Sayaka.
“No need,” the president spoke, having just conjured up a brilliant idea, “With all this instant refreshments on our doorstep, we shall hold an instant ramen buffet event for our customers!”
Several members like Yuko, Miichan, Jurina and Sae gave an “ooh…” and applauded to compliment their president’s marvelous proposal.
“Nice thinking, Prez.”
“Sasuga!”
Now that reminded Takamina of something she nearly forgot. From her pocket, she took out Atsuko’s missing wallet she had recently found for her, all dried and looked good as new.
“Ah, Acchan, you dropped this...”
Then, her sentence faded when Takamina saw it. Atsuko’s I.D. card. Or...what she thinks is supposed to be Maeda Atsuko’s card.
“Hm?”
On the I.D. card was a different face and a different name.
“Wha… Acchan...”
“Yes?”
Takamina looked from the I.D. photo in her hand, to the person that owns the wallet.
“So you’re… you’re… Ashiya Mizuki?”
“Uh… yeah.”
A gasp came from Takamina as she gave a face that looks as if she's seen a ghost.
“THAT Ashiya Mizuki?! The star actress? You’re… HER?!”
“Yeah,” Atsuko calmly and casually replied.
“EEEEEEEEEH?!?!?!” Takamina exclaimed and backed up a few steps.
While Takamina was shocked at this discovery, the other hosts for some reason looked pretty calm while others were showing mischievous smiles on their faces.
“Geez, it took you that long to figure out Bakamina?” Miichan teased.
Takamina snapped back to her senses when she realized the others’ calm expressions.
“What?! You mean to tell me all of you guys’ knew this from the start?!” she exclaimed, “And you didn’t bother to tell me?!”
“It was quite obvious to us, we thought you would figure it out easily too,” said Yuko. “Her initials are the same, just backwards.”
"If you've listened to Ashiya Mizuki's movies and songs numerous of times, you'd be able to recognize that the voices do sound almost the same," Mayu explained.
“Plus, if you look carefully, there is a slight similar resemblance in the faces,” said Mariko, the one who actually knew from the beginning when she saw Atsuko for the first time.
As for the rest of the girls, they just happened to figure it out along the way or they were told by others who figured it out earlier and just wanted to have fun watching Takamina eventually realizing it later.
Takamina was overcome with shock, her face blushing into a deep shade of red.
“USOOOOOO?!?!!?!?”
Thinking that her reaction just now seemed a little too much, Atsuko asked, “What’s with her all of the sudden?”
“Actually, Acchan,” Yuko spoke up. “Takamina is your number 1 fan!”
It was then Atsuko’s turn to react in surprise. “EEEH?!”
To the others, Takamina demanded to know, “Oi why did no one plan to tell me!? Aren’t I your president here?!”
Her response was a mischievous grin from Miichan and giggles of amusement from Jurina and several others.
"Cruel! Everyone is just so cruel!" Takamina cried.
Atsuko however came and approached Takamina with something to say.
“I’m sorry to have kept this a secret from everyone. But I really didn’t want everyone to know who I really am. So if it wouldn’t be much of a trouble, I’d like to ask everyone to please continue to keep this a secret,” she first apologized, “Look I don’t care whether you guys treat me as a plain ordinary girl. However...what Takamina said yesterday...I think she sounded cool. I really admired it, and.. well, I like that that’s how you feel, Takamina.”
BU BUM
Those words made Takamina feel a strange tingling sensation in her chest. It felt as though her heart was pounding a bit harder and faster than usual and her body felt like it was getting warmer each second.
"Y...Y-You thought I was cool?" she stuttered as her face turned redder.
BU BUM BU BUM BU BUM
Finally overwhelmed, Takamina ended up falling on her back on the floor and laid there out cold.
“Wow...To have the power to knock down the president, you’re talented Acchan,” Miichan had to remark.
Yuko, Kojiharu, Jurina and the Twin Towers gathered and surrounded the unconscious president.
“You know...this expression Takamina’s giving…” Yuko began with a sly smile on her face, “...looks like someone’s in love!”
“EEEH?!?!” the other hosts and Atsuko exclaimed, looking at Yuko in disbelief.
“Maji de?! What’s going to happen now… now that they know who I am?” Atsuko thought.
Now that the girls knew who Acchan really was, it would start a huge uproar in the Host Club of AKB Academy.
To the hosts, they are now thinking about how things will start to be more interesting in their club with their new member.
For Atsuko, all she thought to herself was if she is going to be alright being in this host club.
Maeda Atsuko
2nd Year
Nickname: Acchan
The honor student (who is secretly an idol in disguise)
=================================================================================
==================================================================================
There you have it! The big secret that Atsuko will have in this entire story is that she's a movie/idol star living the life of an ordinary high school student. Pretty Hannah Montana-ish eh? XD
Everyone already noticed that there are more characters in this story than the anime from which this fic is based off from. I apologize to those who expected more favorite members to appear, but the members you see here are going to be the main characters. But don't worry, me, Ruka and MaYukiIsLife plan to have lots and LOTS of guest appearances from other members as this fic goes on.
Please be assured Yui fans that I don't intend to keep Yui as the bad girl forever! I like Yui in real life and plan to one day have her appear in a future chapter of this fic as a good person.
Not pointing fingers or anything, but having Yui as the mean girl in this chapter was Ruka Kikuchi's idea. No offense Ruka. :mon lurk:
BTW, did anyone noticed a certain hint I gave somewhere near the beginning about a particular member of the host club who has yet to make an appearance? Yes you heard right...there is one more person in this club. :hehehe:
I know lots of you will either be asking me questions to ease your anxious thoughts or you're probably going "Oh my gosh! It's that person isn't it?!", or some of you are probably acting like this: :tantrum:
For now until the next future chapters come, I ask is that if you've figured it out, please don't spoil it for those who have no idea yet onegai~. :whistle:
For those who don't know who is mentioned in the hint, be patient just a little longer for the next chapter...you'll find out eventually. :hee:
@luvsidney: Patience fellow fanfic reader...I'm sure you'll eventually see what you ask for. Thx 4 pointing out that Miichan part. It was my bad ^^; I've edited it and included her introduction. As for your Sayaka request, know that I have taken your idea in mind and am currently cooking up a plot for it. ;)
@AshuraX: Like I told luvsidney, please be patient. I have something in mind...^^
@MYJR: Thank you again for those awesome pics you made and sent! I hope you won't mind if I use them on this story thread's main post do you?
Next time, the hosts will host their very own ball, plus more surprises! Keep an eye out!

================================================================================
================================================================================
Chapter 2 - Teach Me How To Dance Part 1
“I’m going to be late!”
Atsuko was running a bit late one day. She knew she’s going to get a lecture from the others if she arrives tardy before the host club opens for business.
Finally at last she reached the doors to the music room where the host club is located and went inside. When she did, she was hit by surprise.
“Welcome,” voices from inside the room spoke.
Acchan could’ve sworn that they are still in the middle of spring last she looked outside. Yet somehow after coming into the host club that day, she was instantly standing in the middle of a tropical island paradise.
There was actually palm trees and other greenery plants scattered around the large music room.
And what makes it more confusing is that while it’s freezing chilly outside, the host club’s room was at a nice heated temperature, thanks to the school’s excellent heating system.
“Oh it’s just Acchan,” said Miichan after they realized that it was Atsuko instead of their guests that walked inside just now. From that, everyone dropped the group pose and sighed.
“Eh? We thought it was a guest,” said Yuko, “We even posed for the moment as well.”
Today the hosts were dressed up in clothes you’d wear in the tropics. Flowers were in the girls’ long hair and around their necks like leis.
“...What’s going on here?” Atsuko dared to ask, “We are still in Japan are we?”
“Why it’s just my brilliant plan for today’s theme of course!” Takamina boldly announced, “Think of it, what better way to please our guests than to let them experience the warming atmosphere of the tropics when it is currently chilly outside?”
Atsuko eyed the plants and other props that were brought to decorate the clubroom into a mini jungle.
“...I much prefer the plain ordinary host club style…” she muttered under her breath.
This is the kind of club she was forced to join as a person under debt to these girls...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The host club’s guests eventually arrived at their usual business hours and most were astonished with the club’s current theme.
“My dear supportive guests, nothing brings me much warmth and happiness but your presence here today,” Takamina said to her customers.
“Uwaa~ thank you, Takamina-san!” boys enthusiastically shouted.
Then it was here that Takamina decided to make an announcement. “Oh and before I forget, I would like to take this chance to announce to every guest that next week the host club is sponsoring a party,” she stated.
Hearing this while she was walking past Takamina’s table to serve some drinks, which she wasn’t told before, Atsuko curiously said, “A party? We’re hosting a party?”
“Yes. It’s an annual thing we usually do. Once in a while we hold such grand events for our guests in order to liven up the mood,” said Takamina, who heard Atsuko's question. Then to their guests she included, "And I am pleased to say that everyone in the entire school is invited to come."
-------------------
At Yuki and Mayu’s table, they had just told their customers about the host club’s party as well.
“Is it going to be a formal party?” one of their guests asked.
“Oh yes it will,” Yukirin confirmed.
“We even rented the school’s ballroom just for that night,” Mayu mentioned.
“Please be sure to come,” Yukirin then requested their customers with an eager smile, “It’ll be a spectacular night.”
By Yuki and Mayu’s charming and cute expressions, the boys swooned over them.
“Of course we will!” they chorused enthusiastically.
----------------------------
At this time, Sae's voice was heard from another part of the room. She was showing off the flower necklaces she wears around her neck to her girl guests.
“Ta-dah! What do you think of the flowers ladies?” she said to her customers, “They were flown all the way here from the Philippines, courtesy of Sayaka's family.”
“Oh they look beautiful Sae-chan.”
“Especially when you’re wearing them.”
Now at this moment, Sayaka is passing by so she can serve some drinks to some guests and was noticed by Sae.
“Oh hey, Sayaka!”
Sae ran over to Sayaka and then she took one of the flower necklaces she has with her and placed it around Sayaka’s neck.
“There!”
She took a step back to look at her then beamed with delight before looping an arm around Sayaka's shoulder so they’d be close to each other and leaned her head against Sayaka's. "See? Don't we look pretty with these on?"
In return, Sayaka smiled. “Thank you Sae,” she said.
Their girl customers were filled with excitement at this sight.
“Oh they’re adorable together!”
“Wearing the same flower necklaces…!”
"As expected of the Twin Towers!"
From a close distance, Atsuko said in a low voice, “I’m still confused figuring out the relationship between those two. They have quite a close bond for friends.”
Now after watching the Twin Towers work their charming magic on the girls, Atsuko pondered over a question she had in her head for quite a while. “I have a question though...why is it that everytime the host club dresses up for a theme Sayaka-senpai and Sae are dressed like guys?”
Like Atsuko said, today the Twin Towers were dressed in male clothing like all the other times they dress up for a theme. Unlike the other girls, who were wearing tube tops that has their stomachs exposed and long skirts and grass skirts, the Twin Towers were wearing sleeveless tops and baggy trousers with wraps worn around their waists.
“It’s part of their job,” Mariko explained, “Those two are our best hosts for our female customers that like danso. And since today’s theme involves the tropics, their guests seem to enjoy how they can show off some skin. In fact, I can say that this theme seems to affect the others’ customers as well.”
Now that Mariko mentioned it, their customers do seem lively today than ever due to the fact that not only for just the Twin Towers, but they can see all the hosts dress in tropical island wear that does reveal parts of their skin.
That led Atsuko to wonder one particular thing. “By the way...was today’s theme thought up by you Mariko-senpai?” she asked the vice-president.
“All of the club’s decisions are made only by our president Takamina,” Mariko clarified, “However to be honest...I guess it’s fair to say that after Sayaka and Sae suggested doing this tropics theme to me, I might’ve casually slipped a photobook of Guam and the Philippines in Takamina’s bag without her noticing perhaps?”
Atsuko saw the mischievous grin on Mariko’s face when the 3rd year revealed the hidden truth.
“So she really is the brains behind the operation...” she thought.
--------------------------
Elsewhere at another table, Kojiharu and Yuko were talking to their guests about the party coming up as well.
“Will you be at the party Kojiharu-chan?” one boy asked.
“Hai,” Kojiharu replied, “I love parties. I enjoy the dancing and dressing up for the occasion.”
“I love parties too,” Yuko enthusiastically remarked, “Only because it’s where I get to see Nyan-Nyan dress up so beautifully.”
“Oh Yuu-chan stop it,” Kojiharu playfully shoved Yuko.
“But really, if I could, I would want to spend every minute at the party with you Nyan-Nyan,” Yuko said with a longing voice as she held Kojiharu's hands in her own. Her one-sided love for Kojiharu is plainly shown.
"Aw, well that's sweet of you Yuu-chan."
"Really? Then in that case, how about a kiss as a present?"
Yuko put on her kissing face and leaned forward in order to steal a kiss from Kojiharu. But her chance was ruined when Kojiharu pulled back and pushed Yuko back by pushing against her brow with a hand.
"Yuu-chan, we are in the middle of host club duties," Kojiharu reminded, "Right now our main focus is our guests. You can save that stuff for after club hours."
Though she lost a chance to have her kiss, Yuko still had a positive, mischievous grin on her face. "Heh...I'll wait till then Nyan-Nyan~"
Now it was at that moment that Atsuko heard the doors to the music room open and a voice spoke.
“Hello?”
Walking into the room is a girl with pale skin, long black hair and bangs over her forehead. She was very thin and looked like a porcelain doll.
Atsuko, who has never seen the girl before, thought she might be another guest.
But then Jurina gave a look of excitement and cheered, “Hey look everyone, Rena-chan’s back!”
The other hosts heard Jurina’s announcement and lit up with smiles as well and went to welcome the girl that just entered.
“Hey Rena! When’d you get back?”
“We miss having our last host around.”
“How’s your trip?”
Being greeted by the host members, the pale faced girl replied, “I just came back to Tokyo a few hours ago. I thought I’d get the chance to stop by and see everyone during the club hours before heading home.”
Matsui Rena
2nd Year
The host club’s innocent, shy character
Seeing how the girls were interacting well with this girl she never seen before, Atsuko came to a conclusion.
“Wait...she’s a member of the host club too?”
“Yes. She’s Jurina’s older sister, Matsui Rena,” Sayaka explained, "She's a 2nd year, just like you."
"Eh? Jurina-chan's sister?" Atsuko repeated.
“Rena-chan~!” Jurina called out as she ran and gave her sister a big hug, “How was your trip? Was the cosplay contest fun?”
Rena nodded and smiled at Jurina in return. “Un. It was a fun experience,” she said.
“Mou I wish you would’ve brought me along…” Jurina complained, “It was no fun without you around...Why did you not take me?”
“I’m sorry Jurina. I had really wanted you to come along too. For some reason, it didn’t felt fun without you there.”
“Really? Rena-chan~!”
Watching the two interact, Atsuko can see a deep and moving sisterly love going on.
Now there was something Rena is curious about. “Ano...by the way, what is this about our club having a new host that I heard about?” she asked. This was something she had recently picked up from overhearing other students upon her return.
“Oh! You haven’t met our new member yet haven’t you Rena-chan?” said an energetic Yuko.
Rena was gestured by Yuko to look at a certain girl that is standing in front of Sayaka. The 3rd year had placed Atsuko in front her herself in order for the new girl to meet Rena.
“Rena-chan, meet the rumored new host and honor student, Maeda Atsuko,” said Yuko.
Rena greeted the new member with a friendly smile. “Hajimemashite. I’m Matsui Rena. And you may have already guessed it, but I’m Jurina’s older cousin,” she introduced herself, “I’m sorry about the late introduction. I was actually away in Nagoya for some family business so I guess I didn’t get the chance to meet you sooner. Let’s get along well from here on.”
“Well...it’s nice to meet you too,” Atsuko remembered to say.
From meeting her the first time, Atsuko’s first impression of Rena is that this is a kind looking gentle girl with a nice smile.
Now it was here that Atsuko heard someone calling for her.
“Excuse me Maeda-san? But I think it’s time to change guests.”
She looked to her side and noticed a boy student who had been waiting for his time with her. “Oh I’m sorry, you must be my next customer,” said Atsuko. She looked at her waiting list to see who it was that had request for her next. “You must be…”
“Minami Kou,” her next customer said for her, “And you are the host club’s newest member I’ve heard about. Oh my...you are prettier than I thought you'd be.”
Atsuko's hand was gracefully taken by the boy called Minami and he gave her a pleased smile. He then stated, “I’ve decided, from now on, you’ll be my new favorite host.”
The instant she heard this, Takamina had to force herself not to yell out loud in shock.
"EEEH?! MAJISUKA!?!?!?" she shouted in her mind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that day...
After club hours are done and the guests have left for the day, Takamina has now slipped into a sulking mood. As she sulked, she was gorging down a bowl of to-go katsudon that you would find in a convenience store.
Ever since Atsuko introduced the katsudon to her and the club one day (after finding Acchan eating the katsudon one day before club hours started and curiosity led the president to try it out), Takamina finds herself craving to eat more of the commoner’s bowl meal nearly everyday, or also to help tide her through the stresses of being club president.
However in today’s case, it was because she was depressed over the fact that one of their guests has made Acchan their regular host.
“Hey Takamina, will you stop endorsing yourself over that commoner’s katsudon and come over here already?” Miichan called out to the depressed Takamina.
“Yeah we still have to make plans for the party," Kojiharu reminded.
Everyone else are gathered at a table away from where Takamina is and are in the middle of their meeting for discussing about their upcoming party, though they didn’t get much discussion done with their president not participating in the talk.
“Takamina-san sure is acting down isn’t she?” said Jurina, her stuffed doll companion held in her arms.
“She’s been like that ever since we’ve closed today,” Yukirin mentioned.
“She’s that surprised about Minami requesting for Atsuko is she?” said Sayaka.
"I see no reason why she should be surprised," Mariko stated while busy typing in her laptop, "Minami-sama does have that disease after all."
A puzzled Acchan then asked, "What disease?"
"We call it the Host Hopping Disease," Mayuyu explained while drawing something in her sketchbook.
"Or in other words, he doesn't stay with one host all the time," Miichan included.
Mariko further explained, "Our guests would usually pick a host depending on his or her liking and sees that one regularly. However in Minami-sama’s case, he has continued to switch his favorite host often ever since he became one of our regular guests."
"Yeah. Because Takamina was his host before he switched to you Acchan," said Yuko.
Now this fact gave Acchan a presumption to the reason behind Takamina’s sulking. She spoke, "So...you're saying she's upset because I stole her customer?"
Takamina was instantly brought out of her sulking and she ran straight to where everyone else is. "That's not the point at all!" she shouted, “Right now we have an even bigger matter here!”
“Huh?” was Atsuko's response.
To Atsuko, Takamina spoke, “I just don’t see why you can be so popular with our guests when you say you’re not wanting everyone to realize you’re already a popular person!”
It was here that Takamina decided to bring up a complaint she has been carrying for a long while since Atsuko became a member of their club. She spoke, “Listen to me Acchan, it’s time you start acting like the idol you’re supposed to be! No one else in this school knows about your secret except for us in the host club!”
Since it came to this, Takamina went and pulled out a special framed portrait of Atsuko she secretly had made and keeps in a box that contains her personal, private possessions. “Now you listen Atsuko, I want you to go back to being this pretty, cute idol girl!” the short president demanded.
Atsuko was shocked when she saw that the portrait Takamina had taken out was a photo of her when she just debuted as Ashiya Mizuki, which she had enlarged and displayed in a large frame.
“Oi! Don’t go showing my photos without my permission!” Atsuko had to retort the instant she saw that Takamina is keeping something like that personal in her possession.
The other hosts took a moment to gaze at the photo of Acchan back when she first debuted as Ashiya Mizuki. No matter how much they look at it, there was something that bugs them when they compared the photo to Acchan’s appearance when they first met her in glasses and cheap uniform.
“It’s confusing. You just don’t see Acchan in this photo.”
“I still can’t see the resemblance…”
“How did this turn into that?”
Then Takamina faced Atsuko and spoke in a serious voice, "Hold it! The main big question here is...just why is Ashiya Mizuki attending this school as Maeda Atsuko? As everyone knows, Ashiya Mizuki was set to become one of Japan's next top actresses, until she suddenly disappeared from the media and public 2 years ago and the shocking news was out that Ashiya Mizuki was going to be on hiatus from her career. So tell us the truth Acchan...just why exactly did you disappear from the entertainment world?"
Seeing as there's no other way to talk herself out of not telling them, Atsuko gave a deep sigh and began explaining. “Even though I was an actress, I really wanted to go back to school like all other girls do. But I didn’t want to go as Ashiya Mizuki otherwise the entire school would be crowding around me nonstop. That was why I decided to attend school as myself and as an honor student in order for no one to recognize me. I knew that I’d be easily recognizable if I came looking the way I was so I had my hair cut short and wore something average. I didn't care how I looked if it meant that I can get the heck away from fans."
“Idols don’t use such casual words like that!” Takamina yelled. Then she cried out to a certain person across the room. “Aaah! Mama!!! Acchan’s using naughty words she’s not supposed to say…!” she cried like a crybaby.
The others who were watching Takamina had a question on their minds.
“Um...who is ‘mama’ here?” asked Kojiharu.
“I’m guessing going by club positions, that would be me,” Mariko regrettably spoke with a sigh. As she’s the vice-president of the club, that would make her the mother figure role as how Takamina the president is the father figure.
While Takamina continued to cry, Atsuko sighed, "Look there's no way I can go around school as my alter ego. And I'd rather work as a host to pay off my debt as who I am rather than Ashiya Mizuki."
“A-ano,” Rena spoke up again. “Are you really Ashiya Mizuki-chan?”
It was only just a short while ago that Rena first learns about Atsuko’s secret that is being kept within the host club.
“Uh, yes...”
Rena showed a look of amazement. “Sugoi.”
Acchan then noticed something she was holding in her hands.
“What is that?”
Rena held up what seems to be a biscuit...however it was covered with a thick layer of spice. “Ah, it’s spicy biscuit. Looks good, huh?”
“Looks...spicy.”
Rena bit into it and giggled as she did so. Acchan was rather amazed how this girl can withstand eating such a spicy snack. To be honest, she herself is not a big fan of spicy food, so to see Rena able to eat it is amazing to her.
However here she noticed some of the members already started backing away as Rena ate the snack. Some even gulped.
“Um...”
Rena then started to give this creepy soft laugh.
“Hehehehehehe… ”
“Uh, are you okay?” Atsuko was reluctant to ask.
Rena was still smiling as she replied, “Un…hehehe…Right now.. I’m Chuukara. Hehehehehe...”
“Eh?” Acchan was about to ask what was going on, but then, Takamina pulled her back, clinging on her like a koala bear. “What’s wrong?”
“Rena gets like that sometimes when she eats spicy food,” Yukirin explained.
“What happens if she eats something TOO spicy?” Atsuko dared to ask.
“You don’t wanna know,” Sayaka said, simply.
It was here that Yuko decided to change the subject and bring up a new topic.
“By the way Acchan, you do know any formal dancing right? You’re going to be doing that a lot at the party next week,” she suggested.
At once the new host became speechless. “D-Dance?” she stuttered.
“You didn’t know?” said Yukirin, “All of us hosts are going to be dancing with every guest at the party that wants to dance with each of us. It’s going to be the main event for that night.”
After dancing was brought up, Atsuko began to show some signs of nervousness. “Um...actually, do you mind if I ask to be excused from attending the party?” she anxiously requested, “After all I don’t think the party has anything to do with my quota right?”
To be honest, Atsuko really didn't feel like attending any sort of event if it's held at this school.
But behind her back, Takamina saw this kind of response as an opportunity. A new plan was created in her mind that brought her back to her leader mode. "Oh no you don't. A proper host must always attend fancy social events to please her guests. If you want to remain being a host that badly, then you'll have to show it to us," she declared, “You’ll have to show us that you can become like a princess at a grand ball. Like Cinderella!”
It was after hearing something Takamina said just now, Rena then showed a curious look on her face. “Cinderella?” she repeated.
That was when Rena showed a look as if she was hit by a sudden inspiration. Before you knew it, the room darkened and a single spotlight appeared out of nowhere and shone on Rena.
“Eh? What?” said a confused Atsuko.
When she looked at the others, they didn’t seemed to be confused as she is. More rather, some are calmly shaking their heads.
“Oh boy…”
“Here she goes again…”
“Huh? What do you mean again?” said Acchan, who again is utterly confused. On the other hand though, she noticed Jurina looked excited as though she is eager to see what Rena will do.
Rena now began to speak in a rather dramatic voice, as if she suddenly became an entirely different Rena who is now bold and a professional actress performing a monologue on stage.
“As I arrived at the grand ball from my pumpkin carriage, the very first thing that caught my eye was the handsome prince!
His eyes looked only at me; my eyes looked only at him.
‘How beautiful…’ he would say, walking through the crowd to approach me. ‘You are too beautiful! You must be a true princess! Please, may I have this dance?’
‘Of course, my prince.’
That night would be magical. Wrapped in his arms as we danced, I could just stay forever. Until…
‘Dong! Dong!’
‘No! This can’t be! It can’t be over!’
‘My princess? Please, do not leave me. Wasn’t tonight meant to last forever?!’
‘I’m sorry, my prince… Goodbye!’
Even though I run and run, I trip and lose my glass slipper. I looked up and saw the prince still standing there.
‘Don’t go, my princess! Stay and we can dance forever!’
‘My prince… Yes, our night cannot end here! My prince--!’”
“You’re overdoing it Rena.”
Rena’s dramatic monologue was interrupted when Miichan had personally gone to stand right next to Rena and spoke up to stop her.
A startled Rena jumped when Miichan’s voice was heard right next to her as the lights came back on. Realizing what she was doing just now, Rena gave an embarrassed face as she rubbed the back of her neck. “Ah--! S-Sorry...” she apologized with a guilty expression, returning to her shy self again.
But Jurina gave a moan. “Aw man, but I wanted to hear the rest of that Miichan-senpai...” she complained. Out of the hosts, it would seem that she was the only one who was eagerly listening to Rena’s monologue.
“...Is this normal?” Atsuko said with an awkward feeling.
Once again she finds herself appalled by the strange personalities of this club’s members.
Putting aside Rena’s monologue, Takamina cleared her throat and returned to the main subject and decided to add more pressure to the order she is giving Atsuko. She then proclaimed, "With that in mind Acchan, I’m assigning you with the task to learn to dance the waltz within one week. And you'll be showing it to everybody at the party. If you don't complete this, I’ll tell the whole school your secret, and in addition, you'll be knocked back down to errand girl again!"
Takamina's order was declared official in that minute, leaving Atsuko dumbfounded.
"Uso..." she groaned.
How will Atsuko survive this impossible order?
To be continued...

Well there you have it!
So now all the host club members are finally present and accounted for!
How many of you guys figured out it was Rena from the last chapter? :hee:
In other 48G related topics, I know everyone is getting psyched and pumped up for the Sousenkyo coming up next month. To be honest, I'm getting quite anxious myself.
I mean things are getting quite climatic what with this being Takamina's final Sousenkyo before graduating, several members like Rena have decided not to participate, and for some members this could be their last sousenkyo.
I'm really REALLY hoping that Sae-chan will be able to get into the Kami 7 this year, as I have heard hints that this may be her...last...time. :err:
All the more reason I'm crossing my fingers for her! :prayers:
Oh BTW, I've added character bios in the first entry to this forum. Be sure to check it out! They will be changed and updated as the story progresses.
But anyways! Hope everyone enjoys this update! Stay tuned for more updates later! ;)

NOTE FROM THE WRITER
Hey guys! Wow-wee I can't believe I haven't worked on this fic for a LONG time. I'm really sorry to keep you guys waiting! :kneelbow:
I am currently still working on the next chapter. But while I was writing, I came upon an idea that I was debating with myself lately on whether I should add it to this fic or not. In the end, I want the opinion of you guys.
What I want to ask you guys is this:
In this fanfic, I have made Sayaka and Sae best friends who are very close. But lately I was thinking of what if I made Sayaka and Sae actual sisters in this work? And to make it more funny, I thought maybe making them fraternal twins. Of course the reaction of Acchan realizing this would be funny. They can then be the 'ikemen hosts with the very close sibling bond'. :hehehe:
Please send replies or comments telling whether you'd like this change in the story or if you'd rather I stick with the original plot. I'll be waiting! And don't worry, I haven't forgotten about this fanfic yet! The next chapter will come out EVENTUALLY!!!!
Thank you for your guys' patience.
