My first Ouran Story! I've been thinking about writing this forever, but couldn't think of a good character.
Now I have a character!
This story adds some fantasy elements to Ouran, but I'm not sure if I'll do a pairing/s yet =3 Lemme know what you think!
I walked towards the insanely large campus, tugging at my blue sleeves. The Ouran Academy crest was emblazoned on my coat, which I left unbuttoned. My pants were naturally matching, and I wore a white button-up underneath the coat. This school had such an odd dress code! Then again, it was better than the usual plaid that I had to wear back in England, so I guess I can't really complain.
I pushed up my black sunglasses as I walked through the gates and onto the campus. Bright sunlight never went over well with me in the morning, I hated being woken up. Sighing, I glanced around the campus. The girls had a separate uniform set, consisting of a yellow dress, white stockings, and a small ribbon. It made me suddenly very, very glad I was male. That uniform was horrid…
Of course, now that I had glanced at the girls they started to glance at me too. Several small groups broke out in whispers, a few pointing at me. Naturally I expected this; it's really not often people see teenage boys with snow white hair. Ignoring them, I set off searching for the attendance office. Getting my schedule was my first priority. I have an… Interesting sense of direction, so a map might not be a bad idea either.
-Normal POV/Third Person-
The white haired teen continued down the hall in search of the apparently elusive attendance office. A short blond boy skipped down the hall, humming and hugging his stuffed pink bunny. He stopped in front of the other teenager, smiling. "Hiya! Are you new?" He asked, grinning.
"Uh, yeah. I'm Alec Blackwood, just transferred from England," he told the small senior, figuring he was some lost elementary student.
"You can call me Hunny!" replied the blond, smiling and cutely snuggling his pink rabbit. Alec blinked once, making sure he was really seeing the tiny boy. Nope, this overload of cuteness was NOT a hallucination after all.
"So, er… Do you have any idea where the attendance office is?" asked Alec, tilting his head slightly and causing some light to glint off his black sunglasses. Hunny nodded cheerfully, grabbing Alec's hand and tugging him in the direction of the attendance office. Alec froze up at first, surprised that he was being tugged along, but eventually just went with it.
X-Alec-X-Alec-X-Alec-X-Alec-X
We arrived at the attendance office quickly enough, and I got my schedule from one of the secretaries. Looks like I was in class 2A, wherever the hell that was. I stuffed the schedule into one of my pockets and turned around to talk to the small student. "So, thanks for showing me the way," I said awkwardly. Hunny just smiled and pulled on my arm, forcing me to lean down to his level. He patted me on the head and told me he didn't mind, before releasing me and wandering out of the office.
Well then.
I decided to vacate the office as well, heading for the fountain in the center of the school. One of my friends back in England had made me promise that I would send him a photo of it. I walked up to the fountain and quickly snapped a picture on my phone, sending it off and stuffing it in my pocket.
Then as I turned around, I was shoved into the fountain. My glasses were luckily still firmly on my face, but my phone and schedule were sure to be ruined. It had taken me an eternity to find the attendance office! Water dripped from my bangs as I stood up, stepping out of the fountain. Luckily my glasses hid my furious glare.
-Third Person/Normal Pov-
A man snickered and grabbed a nearby school-girl, holding her in a head-lock. His companion was the one who had accidentally shoved Alec into the fountain, and was standing nearby with a pistol at the ready. The girl screamed and everyone turned around with shocked expressions. A brown haired 'boy' ran off muttering something about a host club.
As Alec stepped out of the fountain, the man with the pistol turned towards him, sneering. "Better stay out of this brat," warned the man. Alec smirked slightly, revealing sharp canine teeth, before seeming to vanish due to his fast movement. He jumped, kicking the man with the pistol in the head and sending him sprawling across the stone. Alec darted forward, catching the pistol and twirling it, before pointing at the man with the girl.
"You really ought to let her go now," he stated, light glinting slightly across his sunglasses. The man balked at the fact his comrade was taken out so easily, but refuse to move. Alec sighed, "Fine, have it your way then." He shot at the man, aiming at the ground near his feet. The man jumped, and Alec darted over. He managed to grab the girl and lift her into his arms.
The man's eyes widened as he figured out what was happening, but Alec had already deposited her with some other students. He then returned his attention to the man, who suddenly got down and bowed. "Please spare our lives!" cried the man. Alec blinked, surprised. Then he grumbled quietly to himself about them being such weaklings.
A small private police force soon arrived and arrested the two men, as well as taking the gun from Alec (who really didn't want it anyway). A group of guys were talking to some of the girls, and one with black hair and glasses approached him. I tilted my head curiously, wondering what on earth he could want. "Kyoya Ootori, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, shaking Alec's hand.
"Alec Blackwood," he responded in a slightly annoyed tone. After all, he was still sopping wet. Kyoya nodded, asking Alec to come with him to get a new uniform. "Alright."
Alec followed Kyoya through the halls, well aware that they were being tailed by a group of people. "So, who're your buddies?" he asked, causing Kyoya to lift an eyebrow.
"Associates of mine. We're known as the Host Club." Alec nodded, getting a bit of the picture. An Ootori operating a Host Club wasn't too far fetched. After all, curing broken hearts and making new crushes could be considered something to do with psychological welfare.
"Mmm," he responded, showing that he was listening. He walked into the club room with Kyoya and was promptly showed the way to a changing room. Kyoya walked back to the main room to speak with the other members while Alec changed.
"Who was that mommy?" asked an over-excited Tamaki.
"Possibly our newest member." The twins eyes went wide at this statement.
"You want to recruit him Kyoya-Sempai?" they asked in unison. Kyoya nodded.
"After his performance today, the girls are already all over him. Plus with his unique looks and attitude he has more than enough potential to bring in more clients," explained Kyoya, with the other hosts nodding attentively every now and then.
"I'm done changing," announced Alec as he walked back into the main room. His hair was still slightly damp, but he was in a new (and luckily dry) uniform. He still had his sunglasses planted firmly on his face. "Thanks Kyoya."
Kyoya nodded, "It's fine," he said. Alec raised an eyebrow at him, knowing there had to be more to it than this. There always was when it came to corporations.
"I assume you'll want something then?" he asked, surprising the other hosts (with the exception of Kyoya).
"Of course. What kind of business man would I be if I didn't?" he replied. Alec sighed, this was what he got for being the new kid and making a scene.
"Fine, fine," he agreed, actually catching Kyoya off guard.
"You don't even know what I want," he stated.
"You want me to join this club right?" he asked. Kyoya nodded. "I figured it would be something like that."
"So you'll do it?"
"Sure, sure. I won't follow any of your orders though, and I make no promises to be nice," he warned. Kyoya's glasses glinted in the light. He enjoyed a good challenge.
"Deal," he said, sticking out his hand for a shake. Naturally he was surprised when Alec crossed the room and kissed him lightly on the lips. His glasses clinked onto the floor, luckily unharmed as Alec pulled away.
The club was shocked.
"I didn't… Think that…" Kyoya started, only to be cut off by Alec.
"Yes, it's not just the CEO who seals contracts that way," said Alec, offering a short explanation.
"…Ah."
"Ah! Mommy! He kissed you!" cried a shocked Tamaki, who was the first to speak in the group.
"Of course he did, he's a Blackwood." Tamaki blinked, understanding.
"Oh! You're from that family that seals deals with a kiss, right?" he asked, causing Alec to nod. "I just love your families chocolates and toys! I even have one of the Blackwood bears!" he said, referring to his beloved Beary. Alec smiled for a second.
"Oh, I have one too. My sister designed them actually," he said, causing him and Tamaki to get into a discussion about the Blackwood Bear's design. It was friendly, and they actually seemed to get along.
Then the dark door creaked open, causing all the members to turn and stare at the cloaked figure with his cat hand puppet. "N-Nekozawa!" yelped Tamaki, hiding behind Kyoya. Alec's head shot up at the familiar name.
"Neko?" he asked, looking towards the door. Nekozawa was startled to find Alec suddenly in front of him, forgetting the fact that Alec was, in his sisters terms, "A speedy little bugger."
Alec beamed and practically pounced on Nekozawa. "Neko, you go so big!" he exclaimed happily, hugging the stunned president of the black magic club. "I worked really hard while I was gone!"
The hosts just stared, not accustomed to anyone actually being near Nekozawa, let alone hugging him. Alec took hold of Nekozawa's hand and tugged him into the light. Nekozawa was about to scream, but realized that he was alright. He was in a cloak, sure, but still… The light…
"See, told you I worked hard. Now you can come out in the light, well for a bit," explained Alec. Nekozawa nodded and stuck silently by Alec's side.
"I didn't think the rumors were true," said Kyoya, pushing up his glasses.
"What rumors sempai?" asked Haruhi curiously.
"The Nekozawa's worship cats, and the Blackwoods are said to be descended from some form of supernatural cat, most likely a cat demon." The host club ooh'd and ahh'd at Alec, who just took off his sunglasses. His eyes were a deep scarlet, with diamond shaped pupils. As the hosts were ogling his appearance, he sat down in a nearby chair and pulled a protesting Nekozawa into his lap. He nuzzled the teenager much like a cat would.
"So, is something going on between you two?" asked Hikaru.
"It sure looks like it," continued Kaoru. Nekozawa frantically shook his head no, while Alec chuckled.
"No, nothing along the lines of what you're thinking. He's just my favorite," responded Alec.
"Favorite?" echoed the twins.
"Yeah, favorite. Favorite person, favorite Nekozawa. Whatever way you'd like to think of it," replied Alec uncaringly, despite the quietly protesting Nekozawa.
"I finally got it!" yelled Tamaki from the other side of the room, causing eight sets of eyes to stare at him. "You," he declared, pointing at Alec, "will be the 'Dark Hero' host! A demonic hero would be the perfect new addition!"
Nekozawa looked at Alec questioningly, finally giving up hope from sneaking off the unusual teens lap.
"Yeah, I joined their club," he responded to Nekozawas silent question. "I'll visit yours too though, I read all about it in England. The Black Magic club right?" he questioned, causing a surprised look to flit across Nekozawa's face. Alec grinned and patted him on the head, "I do my research too you know."
A cough interrupted their little reuinion. "It's time to head to class," said Kyoya, Tamaki on his heels.
"Anyone in 2A? My schedule was drowned." Kyoya motioned for him to go with him and Tamaki. He finally let Nekozawa off his lap, and took him back to the safe darkness of his door before releasing him. It only let him in the light as long as they were touching after all. "See you later Neko," he said, before darting after Kyoya and Tamaki.
