A/N: This will most likely be my most updated story from here on out, until it's finished. :) I've been in an extreme Ouran craze lately. I hope you guys enjoy this story! Any suggestions or anything would be most appreciated. R&R please? I love you guys 3
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran or any of the characters, except for Maya, Logan, Serena, Aiko, and Hazuki.
For most people, it would be just another rainy day in London, but for me, this was the tragic end of my life. Well, it felt like it. I was moving to Japan for crying out loud. I didn't feel prepared to move. I didn't want to leave London. This was my home, and it always would be.
"Do you really have to move?" Serena hugged me for dear life. I couldn't breathe. I felt as if I was going to suffocate, but I didn't want to move. This could be our last hug.
"I'm sorry, Serena..." I was close to crying; I really didn't want to move. Ok, I lied. I was actually balling my eyes out, and so was Serena. I didn't have the choice on whether I wanted to move. My dad was getting stationed over in Japan for the US Army.
"Maya, it's time to go," my dad patted me on the shoulder, and I mentally screamed. My heart was being torn out of my chest. "The plane's about to leave, Honey, I'm sorry."
"Dad," I looked at him, "Can I have a moment alone with Serena?"
My dad nodded and went over to to the ticket-taker person while I sniffed and looked at Serena. This wasn't forever, right?
"I'm going to come to Japan, and I'm going to bloody kidnap you, ok?" Serena wiped her eyes as more tears threatened to fall. She forced a smile and waved to me as I was leaving, but I knew that the second I turned around, she started to ball her eyes out even more.
Now, as I stand here, in one of the many Japan airports, my dad and I were about to go to one of his friend's houses. I don't know how he had so many friends, and I felt awkward for imposing on a person that I personally didn't even know. My dad wouldn't even be there most of the time.
"Hazuki!" my dad walked over and hugged a woman with long red hair; she looked very proper and sophisticated. Oh, this should be such a lovely visit. Do you notice my sarcasm?
"Oh, this must be your daughter," she looked me up and down, and seemed to take a lovely interest in my Avenged Sevenfold shirt and skinny jeans; she looked appalled, "She looks so lovely."
"You don't have to lie to me," I glared for a moment, "It's not polite. I know you don't like the way I dress just by how you looked at me."
"Maya!" My dad scolded and tapped me on the back of the head.
I sighed and extended my hand for the lady to shake, and she did. "I'm terribly sorry, Ma'am. My name is Maya , what would yours be?"
"Shimizu Hazuki," she stared me down evilly. I could have sworn she was doing evil things to me in her head.
"Mommy," my eyes grew wide when I saw a little girl pull on the side of Hazuki's very revealing dress, "Can I have ice cream?"
"In a minute, sweetie," Hazuki smiled, "Ah, Logan, this is my daughter, Aiko. Aiko, say hello to our guests."
"Hi," she shyly waved to my dad, and when she stared at me, she smiled in the most evil way any person could ever imagine. I'm not joking. I was scared. I can't stand those horror movies with the demented little children; they give me nightmares.
We drove in a limo to the house I was supposed to live in during my visit to Japan. I'm sure we would be moving again one day in a few years, but until then, I had to stay here. I was really not looking forward to this. I could already tell it was going to be hell. I missed my friends back in London.
We approached the house, and I was actually really surprised to see what it looked like. It was really nice, the first nice thing I've seen since I've gotten here. The house looked just like a traditional Japanese home, with the white walls with the brown-looking border and the pointed roof. It even had a pond! It was amazing. I got out of the limo, thanking the driver for opening my door, and pushed my hair out of my face as the wind blew it. I really liked it.
"This is your home?" the look on my face had to be classical.
"Well, duh!" Aiko threw her hands up in the air all dramatically, "Where do you think my mother and I live? In a dump?"
"I've never been here before, so how was I supposed to know?" I questioned.
My dad laughed and put his hand on my shoulder, "Yep, Maya, this is where you will be staying. I want you to be nice to everybody, ok? You're a guest in their home. Be polite."
I pouted and looked up at him, "I want to stay with you."
He patted me on the head and smiled, "I know you do, and my time is almost up in the military. Before you know it, we can move back to the states and live like normal Americans."
"I want to go back to London," I sighed, "I miss my friends there."
I could tell my dad was homesick just as much as I was, and he didn't like the fact that he was stationed elsewhere. It was bloody ridiculous how often he seemed to be moved somewhere else. Before I was born, he was in Korea.
"Might as well get used to it, because from today on, you're going to be my onee-chama, ok?" Aiko smiled at me with that same look in her eye from earlier - the kind that freaks me out.
I smiled back nervously, and just chuckled slightly.
"Your bags are in your room," Hazuki told me, "Logan, do you mind if I talk to you for a minute?"
"Ok," he paused, "Go see your room, Sweetie. I'll come in there in a minute."
"Aiko, would you mind showing your guest where she will be staying?" Hazuki smiled.
"Of course, Mother," Aiko grabbed my hand and led me inside; I was nervous. I didn't want to leave my dad just yet.
The little demon took me to my room, which actually had a view of the pond from a window. It was amazing; I loved it. I saw that my bags and my boxes of stuff were already set to be unpacked in my room.
"This room is amazing..." I looked at Aiko, "Thanks for showing me to my room."
She nodded and walked out, not caring about anything. She probably wanted to go play or whatever. That's what kids that age usually do, right? Not that I care. I just hope she doesn't murder me in my sleep.
I began to take my clothes out of bags and put them into my closet. The closet was a walk-in closet, which I loved. These people had to be rich! My closet already had some clothes stashed in there, and a little note saying "Welcome" on it. They were dresses, which I don't really like to wear, but I suppose it's the thought that counts. I left them there in case I needed to wear one one day, and also out of common courtesy.
I put my jeans, hoodies, and long-sleeve shirts in the closet, and put my shoes in the back where it had shelves. The dresses filled up a half of a row in the closet, while my clothes filled up half of the row across from it. I could feel my OCD kicking in because it bothered me. I needed to fill up the closet.
"Hey, Pumpkin," my dad walked in my room, so I walked out of the closet with a big smile on my face.
"Dad, you have to see this!" he walked over and saw the closet, walking in and looking around.
"You wear dresses?" he snickered.
"No, they're a gift, thank you very much," I chuckled, "It came with note saying 'Welcome' on it. I put my other clothes over here. I organized it. My shoes are in the back on a shelf." I pointed to my shoes; I seemed to get more and more each year.
"A shelf? Looks more like five," my dad counted, teasing me.
"Oh, shush! I love shoes," I laughed.
"Well, hey, grab a sweater and come on. I'm going to enroll you in school here. I think you'll like it," my dad sighed, "I need to get you enrolled before I go back to the station tomorrow."
I frowned, "You have to go tomorrow?"
He hugged me, "I know you don't want me to leave, but I promise you I will always come back. I'm almost done serving my time, and then we can go back home. I promise you. I love you, Maya."
I hated it when my dad had to leave, but that's part of the military life, right? I'm not the only one who endures it. I know he'll be back one day.
In the limo, I sat again. This time it was just me and my dad. We were going to place called "Ouran Private Academy". It was a rich school, and I guess Aiko was enrolled here as well. She was in the elementary section. I'll be in the high school section, a first year student.
I was pulling on the ends of my sleeves. I did that when I got nervous. I had on a Skeleanimals hoodie that had cat ears on the hood. I loved it.
"Here we are, Sir," the car man opened the door for us, and then we set foot towards the main office, wherever that was. My dad seemed to know right where to go. Maybe he attended here at one point?
"I'm here to enroll my daughter," my dad told the man behind the desk. He looked extremely and oddly happy. I found it rather contagious. Everyone else in this school seemed to be weird and crazy or just flat out serious and not fun. At least, I gathered that from the stares I was receiving. Most of the girls looked at me repulsively.
"Oh, hello, you must be Maya Graves," the man shook my hand enthusiastically, making me laugh a little, "You can call me Mr. Suou."
"Hi," I snickered; I will most likely be seeing a lot of him, if I get in trouble here as much as I did back in London.
"I have a student here, Fujioka Haruhi. They agreed to show you around the school while your father and I talk. Is that all right with you?"
I nodded, "Yeah, of course. I'd love to see the school. It looks amazing from what I've seen on my way in."
"Fujioka-kun!" Mr. Suou called, and the boy walked in, at least...was he a boy? He looked very feminine. Maybe he was gay, who knows. I could be wrong.
"Hi, you must be Graves-san," he bowed to me, and I awkwardly bowed back.
"No need to call me that, just Maya is ok," I smiled nervously. It felt awkward to be called that, especially because my last name is so morbid.
"Ah, ok, Maya-chan it is then," he smiled sweetly, and thus begun my journey around the school. It looked nice so far, except for the stares I was getting. I refused to wear the uniform those girls were wearing. They were hideous.
"And, this is the 3rd Music Room, where the club that I'm in takes place at, the Host Club. I'm sure you'll hear a lot about it in class. This is where the tour ends," Haruhi went to open the door, and when he did, his face just went blank. I looked past him, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It looked like a forest!
"Is that...a forest?" I laughed strangely, "In a school? How...?"
"Haruhi, you're late." two voices called from inside, and when I looked, they were twins. Very hot twins, may I add.
"What's going on here...?" Haruhi walked in nervously, stepping carefully, and I followed closely behind him.
"Ah, is this a new guest?" a man with no shirt on, blonde hair, and violet eyes bowed down and kissed my hand, handing me a rose. I felt strange. I'm not used to close contact.
I pulled my hand away instinctively, starting at him, "Uhm, I'm very sorry. I'm not used to that kind of close, physical contact."
"You have an accent. Are you British?" he held my face gently, causing me to blush, "That's very cute. I like your eyes."
"Uhm, yes, I'm from London," I gulped backing up, "Sorry, I need to get back to the office where my dad is."
"Strange girl." the twins said as I left. Haruhi followed close behind me, telling those guys that he would be right back.
He took me back to the office, apologizing a lot for the way that man acted. I told him it was no big deal.
"I'll see you later, Maya-chan," he smiled, bowing again, and I awkwardly bowed back again in return.
"You'll get used to it," he laughed, waving as he went back towards the weird place, "See you around."
I sighed and walked back into the office. I saw my dad holding up a girls' uniform, and I flat out told him I refused to wear it. He didn't look surprised at all. Mr. Suou, on the other hand, looked hurt, but it was more humorous than anything. He sulked in a corner and offered to let me wear the guys uniform with a black skirt instead of pants. I reluctantly agreed. This school was definitely going to be one hell of an adventure.
