I stared into the mirror and sighed. The girl who looked back was me but different. My wavy dark hair was covered by a drab black wig. The green eyes that my mother cherished were hidden under muddy brown contacts. Anything that he did not like was locked away, just like all his dirty secrets.

"Miss Tochigi," announced Noriko, the newest member of our staff. "Your father would like to speak to you before you head off to school."

Taking one final glance I smoothed out my puffy yellow dress and made sure the wig was on straight. Once I decided that this was as good I was going to look I rearranged my expression into the compliant and inexpressive daughter I was taught to be.

I turned back to her and let a small smile escape my facade. "Thank you Noriko."

By the time I got to the oak door I was so nervous that my hands were shaking. My father usually wanted nothing to do with me unless it was absolutely necessary. It was most likely another reminder. Or he was going to try to act like a "good" father like he did once in awhile.

"Megumi," he said from behind the door. I almost squealed with happiness; he hardly ever called me by my name, usually just calling me daughter. "You may enter." Just as quickly as the happy moment came it was gone. He said that when he wanted to give me a reminder, I hated reminders.

Suddenly a surge of anger and determination fueled my actions and instead of opening the door timidly like he would have wanted I shoved it open without a second thought. Unfortunately my defiance was wasted when I walked into the office. He barely noticed.

After about a minute of him staring at his computer screen he finally noticed my presence. His eyes looked into mine and to my delight his ever constant frown softened.

"Megumi," he said coolly, "I think you understand that since you are going to Ouran-"

"It is of utter importance that I keep our secret safe," I interrupted.

He raised an eyebrow shocked. I almost laughed; Tochigi Haruka was actually surprised. It was as if I forgotten almost seventeen years worth of secrets and lies.

"Good," he finally responded, "Now run along, I have work to do."

I rolled my eyes and told him to have a good day while I walked out the door.

So is this a fail or should I keep going? This is my first Ouran High School Host Club fanfic so I'm not too sure… But please reviews would be greatly appreciated 3.
