"Depends on what kind of deal," Ari said, taking charge. "Let me handle this," she whispered to Radha. The younger girl nodded, and took a step back.

"You will host men at the club for as long as you're here. I've been thinking about expanding our services, anyway, so I'll take this as an opportunity," Kyouya replied, his eyes cold as ice.

"No," Ari said flatly.

"The what do you propose?" Kyouya asked, not missing a beat. It wasn't often that someone opposed him so openly—he wasn't used to going up against someone as headstrong as he was, but he wasn't going to show it.

"We will host men if you want us to, yes, but we want a quota to meet. Once we hit it, we're done here, and you have to continue to provide us with room and board until we figure out how to get back home. In addition, you personally will help us to find a way back."

"Well, Tamaki? Give them a quota." Kyouya turned towards Tamaki, waiting for his response.

"Fifty men each. I mean, that's only fair, right? Haruhi's original quota was one hundred, so these girls should split it," Tamaki replied thoughtfully. The answer was logical-strangely out of character for the flamboyant, capricious host king. Maybe he really did care for the girls, after all.

"Radha?" Ari asked.

"Oh, um, yes. That makes perfect sense, really. I don't particularly mind hosting, but do you?" Radha asked, concerned. Even if she did drag her friend into ridiculous plans all the time, Radha knew that this whole mess was her fault-and she felt guilty about it and didn't want Ari to suffer for her sake.

"I'm fine, really."

"Okay, so we're hosting! Fifty men each? That's almost too easy!" Radha exclaimed, sealing the deal.

"I have an idea," Kaoru said suddenly.

"Yes, Kaoru?" Ari asked, eager to know.

"Wow, you guys can tell us apart, too? That's insane. But anyway, what if you guys co-hosted, sort of like Hikaru and I?" Kaoru replied, astonished.

"Co-hosting, hmm? That may not be a bad idea," Kyouya said.

"You're right. So we'll both pick hosts who we want to work with, then," Ari said.

Radha blushed, then made her choice. "I always did need a Kyouya to my Tamaki, so I guess I'll be with you," she said, turning to Kyouya.

"That's fine by me," the dark-haired boy responded.

"Haruhi, because she's the most rational out of all of you," Ari said.

"Sure," Haruhi said, smiling.

"Then you need to get cleaned up! Club starts in ten minutes! Hikaru, Kaoru!" Tamaki yelled.

"Yes, sir!" The twins ran off to find spare uniforms for the club's newest members. They returned shortly, yellow dresses in hand.

"I want one!" Radha said, taking the smaller uniform from the boys.

"Say what? No way am I wearing the girls' uniform. It's so...frilly. And yellow. And girly. And it has pink bows on it. No, I'm wearing a boys' one, thank you," Ari said as Hikaru tried to shove an outfit into her hands.

"But you're a girl!" Tamaki said.

"So is Haruhi!" Ari responded.

"But..." Tamaki's voice trailed off as he tried to find a good reason for Ari to put on the dress.

"It's fine, she can just wear the guys' one," Kyouya said nonchalantly. It didn't matter to him as long as the girls met their quota.

"Thank you," Ari said, accepting her new uniform.

"Okay, Kyouya, open the doors!" Tamaki exclaimed, and within a few seconds, girls were rushing in to greet the hosts.

"Hey, why are there girls here today? Are you starting a hostess club or something?" one of them asked.

"Yes, indeed, my princess. You're so incredibly perceptive, my dear. But no girl could possibly comprehend my love for you, no matter how shrewd she is," Tamaki replied, taking her in his arms and causing her to swoon.

But that sentence was all it took for all the girls to call their brothers and friends to tell them to come see the host club. It was only a matter of minutes before a small congregation of men was gathered outside the club room.

"Please, come in! We've been waiting for you!" Radha said with a toss of her newly-groomed long hair, "I'm Radha, and this is Ari, and we're the hostess club!"

"Welcome," Ari said.

*and now, they are hosting.*

"So Radha, you guys are foreign exchange students?" a boy asked.

"Yeah. It was an unexpected opportunity, though, so we're both pretty excited! But maybe the best thing of all is having the privilege to be sitting here with you gentlemen," she responded, flashing him a bright smile. Like Tamaki, Radha was a natural flirt, and hosting was easy for her.

The boys grinned back at her, and then asked her a plethora of questions about her old life in America—the most interesting one being about her friends.

"Well, I do miss them, of course! But right now I have all of you here, so it makes me feel so much better! Now I have new friends to make and an entire country to explore!" was her only reply. It was partially true, she supposed. She missed her friends more than anything in the world, but Radha wasn't the type to let it slow her down. After getting over her initial shock, Radha had thought about her being stuck in Ouran as a blessing, rather than a curse.

Next to her, Kyouya answered questions about the sudden revealing of a hostess club.

"I'd been thinking that the club could be helped by the addition of a hostess club anyway, and these girls just happened to seem like the perfect candidates," he said, "But you are also more perfect than the finest rose, my dear." He may not have looked like it, but Kyouya had his own charming allure that drew dozens of guests.

Across the room, the two could see Haruhi and Ari hosting, and they seemed to be enjoying it. Some of the boys asked Ari about her uniform, and Ari simply answered with an explanation of how she didn't really like dresses. This response seemed to please her guests, and they warmed up to her quickly.

Haruhi was doing well, as usual. She talked to the girls about pretty much everything—from the times when her mother was alive to her current school life.

The twins observed the new pairs from behind a pillar in the corner of the room. "You know, for newbies—" one began.

"—they're doing really well," the other finished.

The two hours of club time were soon over, and Radha asked Kyouya about where they would live.

"You have a choice. All of us, Haruhi excluded, have estates with enough spare rooms for both of you. You can stay with one of us, or alternatively in one of Ouran's foreign exchange dorms," Kyouya told her. She couldn't shake the feeling that he was pushing for the former—or maybe that was just wishful thinking.

"Hmm, Ari what do you think?" She turned towards Ari and Haruhi's couches, and was surprised to find her friend leaning against Haruhi, sound asleep.

"She hardly ever sleeps in front of other people, even at sleepovers—today must have been really overwhelming," Radha mused.

"Should I wake her?" Haruhi asked quietly, looking down at their newest hostess.

"I suppose so," Radha replied, "I mean, she might get mad if we don't."

Haruhi gently shook her, to no avail. "Hey Ari, it's time to go home," she whispered.

Ari's eyes fluttered open, and upon seeing her surroundings she hopped up, shocked that she had fallen asleep. "Home. Right. Home is here now," she said.

Radha relayed Kyouya's options to her, and asked what she wanted to do.

"I think we should stay with the hosts, since they're the only ones who we know here," Ari said after thinking for a minute.

"Any volunteers?" Tamaki asked. Of course, he himself was willing to let the girls stay with him, but the boy was looking to see if any of the others wanted to as well.

"I'll take them," Kyouya said, "After all, my estate has two guest quarters that can be prepared."

"Okay," Ari said. Radha smiled in agreement.

Hihi :) I just realized that I fully intended to update this story, but I forgot XP
So here it is!
I'd like to say thank you for those 3 reviews, they mean a lot! But in response to the Guest review inquiring about the labeling of Kyoya O. & Haruhi F., they are the main characters in this story. Labeling doesn't mean slash, it just tells you what characters have a part in it. I'm sorry if that confused you, but that's my rationalization for it.
Please review!
