Another Host

Chapter 3

|| Sorry for the delay on updates been super busy with school but it's almost over now so woo ^-^ more updates eventually -Liz|| 

I stood at the steps staring up at the mansion before me. I hugged my bag close, it's impressive.

"Yo, kid. You coming or what?" Hikaru stared at me from the door way. I put my serious face back on and walked up the stairs and followed him and Kaoru inside.

"Hello, Hikaru. Good day Kaoru. How was school?" A maid walked up and asked. They nodded.

"It was fine. We brought a guest. Do you think you can bring some snacks up to our room?" Kaoru asked.

"Of course." With that she walked off. Kaoru took my hand and led me down the hallway and up some stairs and finally to a room. We walked in and Hikaru crashed on the bed pulling out his phone. Kaoru sighed then turned to me with a smile.

"Well, what do you wanna do first? Train or study?" He asked politely.

"Train, just to get it over with." I answered.

"Alright, Hikaru you're up." Kaoru spoke. 

"What?!" Hikaru exclaimed and fell off the bed. He then got up and rushed over.

"What the heck do you mean, Kaoru?!" He whined. Kaoru smiled.

"Come on, you know what I mean. You're better at this, I'll help her study, I am the more focused one after all." He smirked.

"Kaoru!" Hikaru whined again.

"I'll go check on the snacks." And with that, Kaoru walked out, leaving Hikaru and I alone. I turned to Hikaru who was staring thoughtfully at the ground.

"Tch, okay, look here Toyama, you do exactly as I say, if you don't you won't be ready for hosting." He glared at me. Hikaru was definitely the more harsh one.

"Fine." 

"Put your bad down over there and prepare yourself." Hikaru ordered then walked over grabbing a couple cups and setting up a small table and chairs. When I put my bag down and walked over.

"First off, fix your posture. Stand up tall, roll your shoulders back, not too much that you look weird just enough to make you seem more confident. Lift you head up slightly, don't look at the floor." He started throwing orders around, but I dealt with it. Once I perfected posture Hikaru handed me a glass.

"You seem to really know what you're doing." I commented, taking the glass. He looked to the side.

"Yeah, well I had to go through the same thing with milord and I had to watch him train Haruhi." He had a small look of hurt when he mentioned her. I gave a weird look. He noticed then cleared his throat.

"Well, whatever. Say the words 'thank you for coming today' and put the glass on the table." He said grabbing a rolled up magazine. I shrugged.

"Thank you for coming today." I said and put the glass on the table, resulting with a whack on the head from the magazine.

"WRONG." He yelled. 

"What did I do?" I yelled back holding my head and glaring at him.

"It's a trick milord taught me. Put your pinky under the bottom of the glass and remove your pinky from under it just before placing the glass, it gives a mature look and prevents a clank." Hikaru explained. "Try again." I copied his movements and we kepy practicing table manners until Kaoru returned. The maid was following him.

"Snacks are here!" He grinned. Hikaru smiled at his brother, the maid placed the snacks down in front of Hikaru and I at the table. Kaoru sat himself on the bed.
