Chapter one

Kyouya's day began with class, which was interesting enough to keep his attention but stopped just soon enough to not bore him. Then lunch, which wasn't particularly compelling. He had listened to the twins bicker with Tamaki, as usual, over the reason why Haruhi should be allowed to wear a bikini to the trip to Fiji next week. Of course, that resulted in a roll of the eyes from said female and Tamaki to yell about how she should be more concerned about her innocence. At that point he zoned out. After lunch he headed to Biology class, which he tuned out of as well, because he already knew the teachings, as he read them the night before. Now he sat in the club room, or music room 3 as some referred to it, and calculated the club's finances.

He did not heed to the idle chatter taking place around him. Instead he diverted his attention to the doorway. A shadow was cast beneath and had been there for a few minutes. He assumed that the person was apprehensive about making their way into the room by the way the shadow moved left to right, as if the person outside was pacing. Below the bustle he could barely make out the voice of a female. "Are you sure this is the right room?... Should I turn back?... I have a test tomorrow. I should go home and study... Fine. Fine. Alright."

As there was no shadow beside her, he presumed she had been on the phone. He made a mental note that this girl, whoever she was, seemed to be nervous. He watched as the door handle turned and the door opened slowly. He looked over at the female, noticing her beauty in an instance. Her white hair was worn up in a high ponytail, even so it reached the small of her back, her wispy bangs settled just above her brows. Her blue-green eyes were piercing, yet gentle. Her pink plump lips were parted slightly. She stood at around 5'4 he would judge, his calculations were usually precise. There was something he couldn't pinpoint about her, and for reason unbeknownst to him, he felt pulled to her. She had on the Ouran uniform, yet he had never laid eyes on her before. Curiosity built up in him, but he refrained from acting on it. Instead he decided to observe.

She stood there anxiety pulsing through her veins. She was in. Taking a deep breath, she took another step forward. Shakily she moved at a very slow pace. Seeing the chaos around her and knowing she might have to have a conversation with these people made her feel ready to bolt fort he door.

'No one saw me come in. No one will see me leave...' She thought to herself as she turned her heels.

"May I help you?" Kyouya said now standing right beside her. She jumped forward in response. Her heart raced from the scare he gave her. Straightening up she faced him and her green eyes met his grey ones. She peered into them as he spoke once more. "My apologies. My intentions were not to frighten you... "

She paused a moment, unintentionally staring at the handsome man in front of her. "I-It's al-alright." He noted the timidness in her voice, as when she spoke it came out softly and quickly, with a bit of a stutter. "I'm l-looking for a Fujioka, Haruhi."

"Ahh, Haruhi." Kyouya offered her a smile "He's right in the back corner of the room, but he's with a client right now so you'll have to wait." He pointed toward Haruhi who was talking to a brown haired girl about coffee grinds. The girl glanced at the person he pointed to.

'There must be some mistake.' She thought. She took a long look at Haruhi and shook her head. "I'm sorry, i-is there another Haruhi?"

"I'm afraid that's the one and only, miss."

She scratched her head. "Perhaps I got my information wrong... The um 'person' I talked to referred to Haruhi as a female..." She watched as his facial expression flickered from happiness to confusion for only an instant then he plastered the fake smile back on his mouth. She could tell he wasn't displaying his true emotions, but she wouldn't dare to say a word.

"Just one moment, please." He pushed up his glasses and with the snap of his fingers a tall blonde appeared at his side.

"Hello, Princess." As he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips, pure shock presented on her face. He released her hand which just fell back to her side as she stood uncomfortably. She directed her eyes to the ground, unsure of what has happened in the span of 30 seconds. Tamaki, unused to the mannerisms of the lady, frowned. He looked semi-upset. Kyouya pulled him to the side and whispered in his ears. Tamaki's eyes widened. He whispered something back and then with a nod from Kyouya, he stood on a stage that had 'conveniently' appeared from no where.

"Attention, Princesses!" Tamaki began his dramatic speech pulling one hand to his forehead and swaying to his left. "I regret to tell you that, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the club will be closing its doors this afternoon"

The guest gave a chorus of disappiontment.

"Don't fret, my sweets. As Shakespeare once wrote, 'Parting is such sweet sorrow, so I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.'" His dramatics caused the audience to roar up with applause. The girls squealed at his fascinating pool of knowledge. He gave them individual kisses on the hand as they left one by one. The room's occupants dwindled down to only the eight of them.

"Welcome, Madame, to Ouran High School's famous Host Club! I am the club's founder and president, Souh, Tamaki." The babbling blonde bowed to her and gestured to the others to introduce themselves.

"I'm Ootori, Kyouya. Vice president." The boy who she had met just moments before shook her hand politely.

"I'm Huni and that's Takashi, but you can call him Mori!" A small dirty blonde haired boy smiled down at the girl from a lean tall boy's shoulders.

"We're the Hitachiin brothers." Two red-headed twins linked their arms and gave her a wink.

"Fujioka, Haruhi. It's a delight to meet you" Haruhi gave respectful bow.

"Who might you be?" Tamaki asked the girl with a twinkle in his eye. She blushed as she realized all eyes were now on her.

"M-My name is... Ayaskahi, Lilia." She spoke softly. Her voice was just above a whisper.

Kyouya smirked. So he did know of her. 'The Ayaskahi family supplies hospitals around the world with the latest state of the art machinery, defibrillators to MRI machines. She was going to start school next week, but I'm guessing she wanted to get an early start.'

Kyouya then stepped forward. "This young maiden seems to know a thing or two about Haruhi… She seems to know that Haruhi is actually female."

Two redhead boys stepped forward snaking their arms into hers causing her to stiffen. One placed his face to her ear causing her heart to race once more. "Not that we're objecting to a pretty lady such as yourself being here but-"

"Just how did you find out our little secret?" The other said as he mimicked his brothers actions, both either unaware or uncaring of the look of utter terror cast on her face.

"Would you two cut it out?" Haruhi stepped forward and pushed the two off of the girl. "Did it ever occur to you that maybe she didn't want to be touched?"

Lilia took a few steps back. "I'm sorry..." She made her way to the door once more, "This was a back idea."

"No wait!" Haruhi approached her slowly as if she was approaching a frightened animal. "I'm sorry about my friends. They don't really know much about personal space."

They just stuck out their tongues to her and crossed their arms together in response.

"I can assure you that they won't be a bother to you anymore." Haruhi smiled. "Now, what was it you came here for?"

Lilia tucked a piece of lose hair behind her ear as she struggled to make eye contact. "I came because... I'm a psychic..."

"Well yeah, it is a little obvious that somethings wrong with you." One twin said as he rolled his eyes at the girl.

"Not psycho, Hikaru, psychic. I think she means that she can see the future." The other said.

"Are you sure? Cause she seems like she's not all there." Hikaru raised an eyebrow at Lilia.

"Hikaru that's rude." The younger twin scolded his brother.

"What? We're all thinking it..." Hikaru responded defensively. Lilia pretended to ignore his comment.

"Will you two shut up?" Haruhi hissed, giving them a glare which caused them to recoil. "I'm sorry. What were you saying?"

Lilia shuffled her feet. "I-I can see...the dead..."

She didn't wish to see the judgmental glares that she was sure that she was getting from them so she kept her gaze on the floor. Though out of the corner of her eye she noticed Ootori writing something down. Silence settled among the room for a moment.

"Whose idea of a joke is that?" The twin that she would refer to as the rude one said. "It's not remotely funny."

Haruhi was about to say something again, but Kyouya opened his mouth first.

"That's quite enough, Hikaru." Ootori held up his hand in signal for the redhead to shut up.

"So Lie-chan… you can talk to ghosts?" The small boy climbed down off his cousin's shoulder.

She nodded at the small boy with the dirty blonde hair. "T-That's why I'm here..."

Haruhi's eyes widened as she came to the realization. Tears weld up in them as she stepped closer. "You mean... you've... seen my mom?"

I apologize if it seems a little rushed or if it's too short…. I just got the idea and started writing. Next time I'll try to make it longer for you! Thanks for reading! Please review! Thanks
