"CUT!" Renge yelled, her hair turning into snakes once more at tight of the cute teen. The crew surrounding the forest-like area stopped all of their machines as Renge marched up to Hunny and Haruhi with murder in her eyes. She turned to Hunny with a small growl. "You there! Stick to the script!"
"But I. . ." Hunny began to say in a soft whimper, but Renge was already turning towards the chairs where Kagome, Kyoya, and the twins sat to dry off. The twins were trying to show Kagome some sort of commoner's joke they had discovered, but were failing at it with Kagome laughing at their attempt.
"No, you listen to me, 'Miss Manager'," Kagome whispered to the younger girl in a low and dangerous tone. Renge looked into Kagome's eyes and saw nothing but pure loathing. "You can''t go around treating people like this, it isn't right." Kagome's eyes softened. "You need to start living your life and open up to people not just sit in your room and play video games. Kyoya doesnt love you."
"N-No," Renge whispered, tears coming to her eyes as she took a step back. She shook her head and leaned forward to be in Kagome's face again. "He loves me!"
That's when Kagome snapped. None of the Host Club were quick enough to grab Kagome before the enraged girl slapped Renge across her face.
"Stop leading yourself on!" she yelled at the now crying girl whose hands were covering her reddening cheek. "He isn't even like Miyabi!"
Everyone froze at Kagome's words and actions. Everyone, but Kyoya, that is. He quickly picked up a large rock and slammed it into the lens of the camera that had been eagerly pointing at the scene between the two girls. Everyone unfroze and looked in his direction.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow there to be record of a club member treating a lady in such ways," he told the shocked group coldly. Kagome pursed her lips at his words, not caring in the slightest about the stupid camera. Kyoya gave her a hard look before he turned his look directly on Renge. "I am extremely displeased at the way you're acting like such a pest."
"W-Why?" Renge whispered, tears rolling down her face as she lowered her shaking hands to look at him. "Kyoya, you're supposed to tell me not to worry about it, and then gently Pat me on the head! Why would someone so kind and affectionate as you. . ."
"Because that isn't Kyoya," Kagome said from behind Renge. She walked up to the crying girl and placed her hand on Renge's head, using the other to bring out a handkerchief to wipe off Renge's tear stained cheeks. When Renge looked up at her, Kagome smiled sadly. "I was trying to tell you to not waste your time thinking that he was like that so you wouldn't be heart broken when you found out he wasn't. In a relationship, you need to get to know each other, bit by bit, before you fall in love."
Renge stared at Kagome for a long time before slowly turning away and running towards the school gates.
The next day, the Host Club is open.
"I bought that video!" a girl cried eagerly as the Host Club welcomed in their guests for the day.
"Me too!' cheered several other girls as they grouped around the hosts who were sitting together around a couch.
"Kyoya?" Tamaki asked without turning to his best friend, his eyes roaming around the cheerful girls in the room.
"I may have broken the lens, but, naturally, the footage that was already shot remained," Kyoya answered as he did some calculations in his journal, not looking up at the crowd around him who wished for more of the footage. "Of course, that one scene with violence is cut out. Sales have been pretty fair. That film crew did as good a job as any Hollywood staff would. "
"Hello," they heard a familiar voice call and turned to see Renge standing by their couch.
"We thought you went home to France," the twins wondered, as always, in unison. "You weren't in class today."
"I realized something while I was sleeping this morning that made me so happy that I just couldn't sit through classes," Renge answered slowly, stepping forward with a small smile. "Your kindness towards me and the protection you showed for my heart. This is what you meant by getting to know people and falling in love, right, Kagome-kun?"
Kagome blinked at the girl now clutching her hands and sighed softly in defeat.
"I wished I wouldn't have to say this," Kagome whispered with a glance at Kyoya, who was smirking as he watched her try to wiggle out of the new attention that had been turned from him to her. Kagome sighed again and smiled warmly down at Renge. "I'm sorry, Renge, I just came out of a bad relationship and I can't-" Tears welled up in her eyes.
Renge stared at Kagome, "It's okay, we can be th best of friends!" Renge said hugging the young girl tightly. "I am going to make you cookies now!'
"Thank you." Kagome kissed the young girl's cheek and Renge skipped off happily.
She turned back to the others, "What?" She asked as they stared at her.
"What was that about? Tamaki exclaimed.
Kagome smiled evilly and held up a bottle of eye drops. "I must say, it does work."
Haruhi began to roll her eyes.
