Haruhi's twin

Chapter 6: Grade School Host is the Naughty Type

Emi's pov

As the day drug on, it was finally time to go to the host club. I knew that sooner or later I was going to have to tell Haruhi about Honey-senpai and I becoming a thing. And I'm guessing hearing that we kissed, wouldn't help my case either. We finally opened the door and got ready I had Yuki-chan in my arms and I jumped onto Tamaki's back. All of the sudden I was picked off his back, I looked to my right to see Kyoya-senpai holding me up by my shirt. Kyoya-senpai let out a sigh, still holding onto me. "Now, now Emi, we have a lot of preparing to do. Tamaki needs to get dressed and so do you, okay?" I wanted to glare at him, but I chose not to. "Well, then put me down now." He smiled and set me down onto my feet, before walking away. We were cosplaying Arabian nights we welcome this kid who is most likely in middle school. The kid comes in, "Hello, my name is Shiro Takaoj, I have come here looking for the king." He introduced himself, the way he carried himself was amazing. I decided to go greet him, "Hi. My names Emi, I like that you'll be with us." I said with a smile, "How old are you anyways? Why are you even wearing a boys uniform, if you're a girl?" He stated, making my smile drop instantly. I chuckled nervously, not saying a word as I realized this kid is smarter than anyone would think.

A little while later, I could tell that Tamaki-senpai was becoming annoyed with Shiro and more so, when the twins sarcastically state that Tamaki has gotten himself an adorable little apprentice. Kaoru asks Hikaru if he wishes he had a little brother like Shiro and they go into their brotherly love act, to the delight of their guests. Shiro is shocked by their incestuous and homosexual innuendo.

When Honey hugs "Shiro-chan," and asks if he wants to share cake with him, Shiro asks why he's wearing a high school uniform when it's clear he's much too young for high school at which point Mori-senpai appears, asking Honey what's wrong. Shiro becomes terrified and a little annoyed, "How does he have someone so much older and cooler than him?!"

Shiro backs up as were walking by and bumps into Haruhi almost causing the tray to tip over but she got it, I was on her back and I giggled when Shiro seemed confused. "Whoa careful there, it's always been like this but you'll get used to it. Are you alright?" Shiro looked at Haruhi, "Are you a crossdresser? Why are you wearing a boys uniform?" I fell of her back and she looked at him like he was crazy. I was picked up by Kaoru and placed on Hikaru's back. Tamaki immediately managed to come over to us, "Why Haruhi, you're looking quite manly today." They tried to distract him by telling Haruhi to allow the boy to serve tea, as part of his training. Haruhi gives Shiro the tray, "Be careful, it's heavy." She said and when she let go of it, he drops it. Oh no, I jumped off his back and ran up to Haruhi. Shiro looked up at Haruhi upset, "It wasn't my fault, its not my job." He said, making me glare harshly at him.

"Haruhi, Emi that's another ¥100,000 now added to your debt to cover the damages of the tea set." I froze. Shiro shrugged his shoulders, "Well maybe you should leave the chores to the crossdresser, I'm here to make woman happy." Tamaki responds that he won't get anywhere with such an attitude and that Haruhi's not to be disrepected. Shiro is isolated in a cage that drops from the ceiling, "Shiro will remain imprisoned until he's learned his lesson and is serious about learning how to make women happy." Tamaki-senpai nonchalantly said.

"I am serious, totally serious." He also mentions that he's going to run out of time. "Tamaki is a genius at making girls happy and I want to learn from the best." Tamaki relents because he feels that he and Shiro are alike in their devotion to hosthood, to which Haruhi consoles, "You poor kid."

Tamaki begins lessons by telling Shiro that he must use the "material" he already possesses. When Shiro asks what that means, Kyoya steps in to explain the various "Types" of hosts that already exist in the club: Tamaki as "the princely type," Mori as "the strong, silent or stoic type," Honey as "the boy-lolita type," the twins as "the little-devil type," Kyoya as "the cool type," and Haruhi as "the natural type." The twins suggest the boy-lolita type based on Shiro's age, at which point Honey busts into tears, fearing that he's being replaced. The sound of Renge's platform is heard and she appears in the center of the room. She educates the group on shota anime/manga and its fanbase, declaring that Shiro is not a boy-lolita (or loli-boy) but "the naughty-boy type." The cage lifts and Renge gets to work. Acting as a coach, complete with whistle, she preps Shiro telling him he needs shorts (check), bumps and bruises (cosmetically added by the twins), to act recklessly (run and trip) and to have a signature catch phrase when injured.

"No big deal. It was nothin'." Shiro declares them all to be idiots and that nothing they do will help him make her happy, before running off. Haruhi says she thinks Shiro is upset about a specific girl.

Tamaki and the others infiltrating the elementary school, forcing Honey and Haruhi to wear elementary and middle school costumes, respectively, just to see Haruhi in a short skirt. They spy a photograph of Shiro playing the piano in which he looks happy. They then find him in a music room listening to a female classmate play the piano. As another girl exits the room, Tamaki hands her a rose complimenting her sweet beauty and inquiring about the girl playing the piano. The girl playing the piano is Hina Kamishiro and she and her family are leaving for Germany in a week. Shiro emerges and chastises the hosts for being there, but Tamaki simply throws the boy over his shoulder, tells him to stop thrashing and back they go to Music Room #3.

Tamaki chided Shiro for telling them he wanted to make all women happy when it was truly only one girl he wanted to please, Hina. Ironically, Tamaki tells Shiro that when you care about someone, you must tell them how you feel. Shiro regrets that he won't be able to hear Hina play again before she leaves, at which point Tamaki unveils a heretofore invisible piano. He informs Shiro that he will work with him steadily for the next week to enable Shiro to play his part in a four-hand piano piece with Hina, who they invite to visit Music Room #3. "Stealing your clients is so-o easy." for a command performance. Two grand pianos are in place and Shiro says, "Let's play together, Hina." And so, they do. Haruhi remarks that Shiro, like Tamaki, loves with all his heart.

Ten days later, Shiro is entertaining Tamaki's former guests at the host club. When Haruhi learns that he's been exchanging emails with the girl on a regular basis, Shiro admits that he likes the girl, but that she's too possessive. As Tamaki explodes, Shiro rubs in that he thinks. "There's a new host king in town."
