Author's note: This chapter was changed slightly and I would also like to say thank you to my new Beta Reader Kinllover!
"Hey! You want to make a snowman with me?" a little dark haired girl happily asked a pair of read-headed twins sitting on a bench.
"Which one of us are you talking to?" questioned one of them.
"To both of you silly!" She giggled.
"There is nobody here named 'Both of you'." stated the other.
"Ok then. I am talking to Hikaru and Kaoru." She stated with a smile.
"Oh really? Which of us is Kaoru? And which of us is Hikaru? Can you tell?" They spoke together.
"Well… I think.. You're Hikaru.." She said almost nervously pointing to Kaoru.
"You guessed wrong.." They stated together looking sad.
"I'm so sorry! …Please don't cry!" She said, alarmed by the saddened eyes of the boys. She was on the verge of tears herself just for guessing wrong.
Kaoru blinked as the bell sounding the end of class pulled him mind away from the memory. He felt eyes on him for a moment, but that soon passed. He looked around to try and catch the person. However, he saw no one but Hikaru and Haruhi looking at him somewhat confused.
"Something up, Kaoru?" Hikaru asked. It wasn't like his brother to look around searching for something.
"I felt eyes on me a moment ago." Kaoru murmured feeling the eyes once more on him. His own eyes narrowed as he attempted to pinpoint where they were gazing at him from. A moment later the feeling was gone and a girl walked up to Haruhi. Kaoru blinked as he realized who she was. Umeko Minako, heiress of the Minako Corporation. She had long dark gray hair that stopped at the middle of her back, and dark gray eyes. She wore the puffy yellow dress that all the girls in the school did. She blended is rather well.
"Fujioka-san." She said softly, "Have you finished your assignment for our Human Relations class?"
"Yes I have. I just need to have Tamaki-sempai read over my essay and sign it. Have you finished yours yet?"
"The essay, yes… But seeing as Sensei caught me drawing in class… He added a picture to be drawn as well for mine. And I am nearly done with that." She smiled.
"Who did you chose?" Haruhi asked curiously, Hikaru and Kaoru watched in silence as the two spoke completely ignoring them. Umeko smiled.
"I can't tell you." she replied.
"Why not? It isn't me is it?" Haruhi laughed as she spoke.
"Well… It would be hard to explain. There are a pair of ears in this class that is not aloud to know of it until the picture is finished." she stated. The twins looked around to see that there were still several people in the classroom. They turned back to the girls as Haruhi laughed.
"Fair enough. You know… I don't think I have ever seen you come to the Host Club. I know that there are many girls that haven't yet… Why don't you stop by?"
The twins grinned at that. Now that Haruhi had pointed it out they agreed with her.
"Yes, you should come by today." Hikaru stated.
"You will defiantly enjoy it." Kaoru grinned.
Umeko looked between the three of them and then smiled at Haruhi. She nodded. "Alright. Third floor, Music Room Three?" At the nod from the three hosts she had a slight blush on her cheeks. "Will I see you there?"
"Yes." The three said at the same time. This caused the girl to giggle.
"See you there then!" She said as she headed out of the classroom. Quietly they watched her go.
"Finally she's gone." Quipped a snobby female voice. The three of them looked towards a group of girls. They were Tamaki's guests. "At least she won't be in this school for long. I heard the Minako Corporation is going bankrupt."
"Yeah. She'll be nothing more then a commoner." Sneered another. All of the girls laughed as they left the classroom as well making fun of the girl.
"Well…That wasn't very nice." Hikaru muttered. Kaoru and Haruhi nodded. Silently they headed off to the club room.
"So Haruhi…" Kaoru started to say.
"…What is this assignment…" Hikaru continued.
"…For your Human Relations Class?" They asked together.
Haruhi smiled at them. "We had to look at someone and write an essay about them. Our subject is not to know about it until we approach them with the essay and assignment paper. The subject is then to read over the essay and sign the bottom of the paper to show that we actually got their approval."
The twins blinked and looked at each other.
"Why did you choose Tono?" Hikaru asked.
"We know you are dating and all but really… why him?" Kaoru questioned.
"Well… The thing is we have to be around them as we write and frankly he is one of the most oblivious men I have ever met. So it was easy to do. I couldn't write about either of you because you always look over my shoulders. Honey-Sempai and Mori-Sempai already graduated so they are out. Kyoya-Sempai… Knows about -EVERYTHING- that goes on in this school. He would notice if I was writing about him." As she pointed everything out they had arrived at the club room. The twins grinned at her points and they entered the room laughing.
"Ha-ru-hi!" Tamaki seemed to sing her name as he all but pounced on the poor cross dressing girl. He glompped her and spun her around happily.
"Ack! T-Tamaki-Sempai! Let go! Can't breath!" She attempted to gasp for air but couldn't get out of the king's grasp. The twins attempted to help her out of Tamaki's grasp. Only Kyoya seemed to notice Umeko slip in holding a black folder and closing the door quietly. He made his way over to her and bowed.
"Welcome to the Host Club, Miss." Kyoya said causing the flailing group to pause and look at the door. She smiled up at him, a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Thank-" Her words were cut of as Tamaki went into 'prince mode' startling her. She pressed herself to the door in fright. Kyoya arched a brow at this and jotted something down in his book. Tamaki blinked as Haruhi and the twins watched. A moment later the twins burst into laughter. Tamaki hadn't even said anything.
"Guess you aren't her type, Tono!" Hikaru laughed.
"…But.. I… I didn't mean to frighten her…" Tamaki murmured as he retreated into a dark depressed corner to cultivate mushrooms. Umeko blinked.
"Don't worry about him, Minako-san. He'll bounce back." Haruhi laughed. "He always does."
"If… If you are sure… Fujioka-san." She murmured before smiling at Haruhi. "I know I am a bit early."
"Oh it's not a problem. Here let me introduce you to everyone!" She took one of the girl's hands and led her to the main couch. All of the guys gathered around. "This is Mori-Sempai and Honey-Sempai. They come over from the college when they can. Also known in the club as our Strong silent type and our Boy-Lolita type respectfully." The two in question smiled at her. Honey offered Umeko some cake, to which she politely refused. "Kyoya-Sempai, our Cool type and also the clubs vice-president. Tamaki-Sempai our prince type and the club's president. And finally Hikaru and Kaoru our Little Devil type."
She smiled at each as they were mentioned. Her blush deepened a bit when the twins were mentioned. Only Kyoya noticed that.
"You forgot yourself, Haruhi. Our Natural type." Kyoya stated causing Haruhi to blush and laugh quietly.
"Anyway, Everyone, this is Umeko Minako. A friend from my Human relations class. I invited her here as a guest." Haruhi smiled.
"Ah! So which type would you like to request?" Stated Tamaki, appearing out of nowhere and startling Umeko once more. The poor girl leaped off the couch away from the tall blond, clutching the folder in her hands to her chest and backing into the twins. The said twins gently put a hand each on her shoulders.
"Come on, Tono…" Hikaru started to say.
"…Stop scaring her." Kaoru finished.
"Um.. I… Would like to request Fujioka-san for now… If that is ok." She said softly. She was painfully aware of the twin pairs of golden eyes watching her. Haruhi smiled.
"Its not a problem at all. By the way…" Haruhi stated then narrowed her eyes slightly. "Isn't that the folder for our Human Resources class?" At the girls nod, she smiled. "I am guessing your subject is one of the hosts that isn't me?" Another nod was the answer along with a deep blush. "Great! We can get this part of the assignment out of the way. Did you finish that picture yet?"
"Yes." Umeko finally voiced.
"Perfect." Haruhi opened her bag and took out a pair of papers. She pulled Tamaki onto the couch in a sitting position leaving the other end opened for Umeko and her subject. Umeko sad down next to Haruhi quietly as the female host handed one of the papers to Tamaki. He read it over in understanding then passed it around to the others to read. "Here. You have to read this and then sign the bottom to show you read it. Don't you dare go correcting anything." She handed him her essay. "Warning. It is blunt and brutally honest."
It was true as Tamaki slowly read it over. He went from happy to depressed to happy again. This change seemed to repeat itself a lot as he read. Haruhi turned to the girl next to her.
"Who did you choose?" Inquired Haruhi.
"…Kaoru-san…" Umeko murmured.
The twins looked at each other and Hikaru sat next to her and she took out her essay. She held out the paper to Kaoru rather then over to Hikaru, shocking everyone in the room. This made the twins grin. Kaoru took the paper as he traded places with his brother to read it.
"Kyoya." Tamaki muttered. "May I borrow your pen?" The pen was handed over and Tamaki signed the paper. He then passed it down to Kaoru. The moment he finished reading it he signed it. Both boys handed the essays back. Umeko, however, traded the essay with a picture. It caught Kaoru off guard. The only bit of color in the picture was the eyes and that drew him in. It was a well detailed picture of himself. The eyes looked lifelike with the color.
"Wow." It was the only thing he could say about it. The other hosts gathered around to look at it and they agreed with Kaoru. The younger twin turned it over and signed a corner before handing it back to her. She carefully put it back into her folder and then hugged the folder once more to her chest. The twins grinned devilishly at her. She didn't notice.
"Can you draw another one?" Hikaru asked. She looked up at him and blinked.
"Yeah. Would you draw another one?" Kaoru asked.
"I want one too!" Honey said happily.
Kyoya smirked as he went into business mode. "It could be interesting. If our guests got wind of it, they might want a portrait of their favorite host. At a decent price of coarse."
Umeko's blush deepened, if such a thing was possible. "I… I don't have my paper or pencils with me…" She murmured. She heard the flick of a cell phone and looked towards Kyoya. Was he really having materials brought here for her? "You.. Really! You don't have to do that! I can just-" She cut herself off as Kyoya finished his order and snapped his phone closed. She looked at the folder in her hands. This was something she wasn't used to.
"You really didn't have to do that…" She murmured
"The happiness of our guests is our top priority." Kyoya replied smoothly.
A couple of hours later she had several requests from other girls for one host or another as they had watched her start off with the Hitachiin brothers first. She had worked her way around the room with all the hosts except Tamaki. His guests wouldn't let her come near him. She didn't push it but opted to look from a distance as she drew him. When the last of the guests left, Umeko stalked right up to Tamaki ordered him to sit and look her in the eyes. Startled, he did as told. She sat down next to him and carefully colored in the eyes of her final picture. As with the others she signed it, handed it to him, got up walked over to the supplies Kyoya had ordered for her and packed things away. She figured she'd leave them here since she had paper and pencils at home she would be able to work on the requests then.
"Please enjoy your pictures." She said as she bowed to them all, holding her folder once more. "See you all tomorrow." She headed out of the room as everyone bid her farewell. Tomorrow was bound to be interesting.
Author's Note #2:
Welcome to the end of the first chapter. Please read and review! I love reviews! They encourage me to write! This is my first Ouran fanfic so please be kind. I am torn between making this a Kaoru x OC, Hikaru x OC or a Twins x OC. Or I may go off the wall and pair the OC with one of the other hosts that isn't Tamaki or Honey. What do you all think?
