Me: Yeah, contraty to the title, there's really almost no romance throughout the entire series, and I'm currently working on the eleventh chapter -.-''' My romantic writing skills are really unused here, anyway to the damned disclaimer stuff.
I do not own Ouran, I just wish I did,only the plot and any OCs that appear within the story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chairman for Ouran Academy smirked to himself, curious as to whether or not allowing two such curious new students enter his prestigious school, was a good idea or not. He looked over their profiles, both had rather interesting backgrounds. He smiled to himself again, they couldn't be any worse than his own son. But then again, he could be wrong.
Yaledem's Institute for Mentally Challenged Children and Teens
We here at Yaledem's would like to thank you, Yuzuru Suoh, for accepting these two miraculous cases of our's into your wonderfully prestigious school. We simply cannot begin to tell you how grateful we are, these two young patients of our'shave quite the amazing story, they seem almost like a couple only found romantic novels. They have both suffered major blows in the past, Jack perhaps more so than Hanataro, but they are both wondrous people that will make even more wondrous students, of this I am sure. Jack lives with Hanataro and his mother due to the fact that her own family no longer accepts her, and she knows of this, which is possibly why she is the way she is. I only wish we could do something more to help her with her grief, but unfortunately we cannot. Hanataro's condition and how he developed it on the other hand, is a little more sketchy and I know only very little of it. The information that I do know, is uncertain, but that does not mean that he is not a kind person, in truth, he is probably the kindest person you shall ever meet, once you get to know him that is.
Jack Skellington is quite the oddball if I do say so myself, but I believe she knows this, and is happy with it, I myself would be shocked if she suddenly stopped being such a strange person. Jack is almost completely dependent on Hanataro, she leans onto him for support, why she chose to lean on him, I shall never know, but I am glad that she has a as good a friend as he. Jack's true name, is classified unfortunately, her family does not wish to make themselves known. Yet, the story behind her name is quite amusing in truth, and I was lucky enough to see the event take place myself.One day she asked Hanataro why he never called her by a name like he did with everyone else, he answered that he did not know her name, and she in return said she didn't know what her me was either and asked him to give her one. I walked up to the pair and told her that she did have a name; she said she didn't like that name that it was 'yucky', and she wanted a different one. That was when Hanataro merely said, 'Jack Skellington.' and so her name has been as such since that day, you should have seen the young boy's face when she threw her arms around him and gave him a hug, nearly as red as his hair the poor boywas. Jack is truly a most amusing character and I merely hope she stays as such.
Hanataro Yamatao on the other hand, seems like any other ordinary teen, he studies; he faces regular problems like everyone else, but can handle them with ease. He is rather a quiet person, preferring his own company, or that of Jack's, over that of any other who could provide him with the company of a living being. I myself know only very little of his condition and how it came to be, but I do know that were it not for Jack, he might not be with us today. I know many people who have believed him and Jack to be a couple, but these accusations are actually quite incorrect. During all the time that I have known this pair, they have always been more of an older brother andhis younger sister together in my eyes. Hanataro attempts to keep Jack safe from what he can, and be there to comfort her from what he cannot shield her against. The boy is actually so overprotective of her, that if he could, he would probably lock her away in some tall tower. The reasons as to why he feels this relationship with such a strange girl, I will never know, but I will always be thankful for.
In truth, I feel almost like an older brother of sortsto these two young adolescents,they have always come to me with questions, forever expecting answers. It is with a heavy heart that I must allow them to spread their wings and discover where they wish to go. Whether Jack truly becomes the greatest hair dresser of all time, as she declared she would be when she was younger, or if Hanataro goes on to become the heir to his family's business, I do not know. Still, no matter what they go on to be, or who they become, I shall always consider them not only as thepatients they once had been here at Yaledem's, but as thesiblings that I have had to let go, so that they might grow in their own ways.

"You're a waste, get out of our sight!"a voice screeched from somewhere in the endless darkness. The small bluenette crumpled to the invisible ground in the endless black room, tears fell from her luminous pink eyes as several voices started to shout at her, cursing her existence, telling her what a waste she was, how the world would be better off without her. The voices kept getting louder and louder, the darkness getting closer to her with every passing second. A black substance seemed to crawl up her legs at an alarming rate; it continued its travel until it got to her face where it went for her large pink eyes. The girl's screams were unheard as the darkness consumed her.
Jack shot up in her bed, clutching her Jack Skellington doll to her chest. She took several gulps of fresh air, not realizing she had broken out in a cold sweat. She checked the room, cream colored walls covered in ' Nightmare Before Christmas', 'Corpse Bride',and 'Edward Scissorhands' posters, a white ceiling that had a large Jack and Sally poster covering it, white carpet on the ground covered with random objects, such as bouncy balls, voodoo dolls, hair magazines, Rubik's cubes, scissors, just a bunch of stuff, and the white comforter that covered her legs.Jack touched random parts of her face, to make sure she was still there, she sighed in relief when she discovered that she was. Turning to the night table next to her she saw her two favorite pairs of scissors, new as the day she got them, and a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' clock that read 6:55 A.M. Smiling she turned to the doll in her hands, "Ne, ne, Skelly-kun, today's my first day at the big school, wish me luck." she told the doll, hoping to get answer, unfortunately she didn't get one. She always dreamed that her dolls would one day come to life, but unfortunately that day had yet to come, she would have to wait longer until that day finally came. Then she set the doll on her bed, so that it could get more sleep, while she went off to change for her first day at the big school.
Once she was dressed in her new male uniform, but she wore sneakers instead of the black dress shoes, she thought the girl's uniform was yucky, she walked into the room right across from hers where her bestest, bestest, best friend of all times slept. She approached the sleeping the tan skinned, red head, who's long hair was let loose and settled in a fan around his head, laid sprawled out on his back snoring, with drool coming out of his mouth, his sheets lay somewhere in the mess on his ground, completely forgotten, and he wore only his boxers. Jack crept up to him, much like a lion stalking its prey; she looked at her friend before pouncing on him and landing on his stomach. "WAKEY, WAKEY, HANA-CHAN, IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL!" she shouted/sang jumping on his bed in her sneakers, causing the poor boy to fall completely off of the bed he wished to spend another hour or so in. He groaned before somehow settling himself on the pile of junk he had landed in,
"Jack-chan let me sleep."
"Iie, Jack-chan can't do that, cause if she did, she and Hana-chan would be late for big school."
"Why, what time is it?" nearly asleep when she answered
"We have less than five minutes before we leave."
Hanataro sprang up from his position on the ground and shouted, "WHAT!" He had shouted loud enough that several servants in the mansion heard, although they didn't pay much attention, already much too used to the young masters' morning routine, although the newer ones did look around slightly shocked and frightened after hearing about one of the young master's temper.
Hanataro often wondered why he allowed his friend to stay at his parents' mansion,and more often, why she was his friend at all, but he had never come up with a good answer, besides that she treated him like no one but hisfamily had when his temper had been so uncontrollable. She treated him like a normal human being when most ofthe workers at Yaledem's had treated him with caution, like a caged animal, afraid of his terrible temper. Or perhaps it was because her over hyperness somehow always made him laugh no matter how upset he was, he had never been all that sure, he only knew that she was his best, if only, friend. He rushed past his mother who was still home and into the limo waiting outside as Jack skipped along behind him. He would probably never understand her completely, but he could try to understand the best he could, after all, he owed her his life, but then again, she owed him her own ten fold over. Perhaps that's the drawback of having a friend who believed that playing in heavy traffic was the best way to enjoy a sunny afternoon.
Hikaru and Kaoru entered the classroom last with smiles on their faces as they shouted to the classroom, "Oi, there's new students coming to our class." This caused the classroom's chatter to increase ten fold, causing the secretly cross-dressing student, Haruhi, to wish she had ear plugs to block out the immense sound. As the twins approached her she asked them,
"What's so important about these new students?"
"It's the fact that they're both patients from Yaledem's." Hikaru stated
"Other than that and the fact that one of them's a Yamato, nothing is known about them." Kaoru added
Haruhi merely stared at the two before saying, "What's Yaledem's?" she knew who the Yamato's were; they were an even more important medical family than the Ohtori's.
"Yaledem's is only one of the top mental institutions in the world, so that means, they're both crazy." they told her, Haruhi seemed slightly shocked at this new information, she was curious as to what could have happened in these students' lives to make them insane.
The teacher entered the classroom, "Class, settle down please, now I want you all to welcome Hanataro Yamato and...um...Jack Skellington." the teacher said with a little uncertainty in her voice. The door opened to admit a tall, handsome boy withlong darkred hair held back in a ponytail, and violeteyes and agirl with short light blue hair and creepy pink eyes, wearing the male uniform,came in, walking on her hands.
"Hi." she said, lifting one of her hands to wave at the class, the boy just stared off to the side, not really caring that all the girls in the class were staring at him with hearts in their eyes.
"Um, Skellington-san, can you please walk correctly?" the teacher asked her, Jack let her feet fall so that she was doing a back bend and then lifted the rest of herself up and turned to the teacher,
"Ne, ne sensei-chan, please don't call me so formally, just call me Jack-chan." she told the teacher, smiling idiotically. The teacher merely stared at her strangely,
"Right, um, Jack-chan, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" she asked, Jack smiled,
"Hai, Jack-chan would love to." she said and stepped forward, facing the class, "My name is Jack Skellington, I like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' my favorite character is Jack, I believe that he and Sally should get married, I like skissors, I also like the movie 'Edward Skissorhands', I even have a replica of his gloves, I like playing in heavy traffic, my bestest, best, best, beeeeeeest, friend of all times ever, is Hana-chan, Jack-chan also likes playing in heavy traffic, she has magical powers, and her life's dream is to jump out a window or to be the bestest hairdresser in the worlds, Jack-chan isn't sure yet." she said, counting off the things on her fingers as she said them, still smiling as if though she didn't just tell the class that one ofher life's dreams is to kill herself and that she claims to have magical powers.
The teacher stared at her wide eyed, along with the rest of the class, "Right then, Yamato-san, would you like to introduce yourself?" the teacher asked him, he didn't say anything and continued staring at nothing. "Um, please take a seat where ever Jack-chan, Yamato-san." the teacher told the pair, once they were seated the teacher started her lesson, trying to distract not only her students, but herself as well, from the insane girl now in their class. After an hour or so the teacher showed the class a problem on the board and asked, "Alright, now can any of you solve this problem, raise your hand once you've-" theteacher started but was interrupted as Jack had raised her hand, "Um, yes, Jack-chan what is it?" the teacher asked,
"The answer is 1,817,276."
The teacher looked shocked, she looked at the answer in her book and then back at Jack, "That's correct." she answered, looking at Jack shocked,
"Of course it's correct silly, if it wasn't than the question would be impossible to answer." Jack said, "Even Hana-chan knows that and he's an idiot." after she said that "Hana-chan" sent a weak glare in her direction which she was completely oblivious to. The class continued on like this, Jack answering each math question correctly, Hanataro not even saying a word, no matter how irritating the people in the class got. He knew that if he had spoken, he probably would've ended up saying something he'd regret later.
"Um, Hanataro-kun, do you want me to show you around?" a timid girl asked him,
"Iie, I have to keep an eye on Jack-chan, gomen, maybe another time." the answered, not even looking at the girl, instead watching Jack who was looking for something in her circular Jack Skellington backpack. He then walked away from the girl and towards Jack, the girl was sad, but somehow, she felt flattered. He only wanted to make sure that Jack didn't get in trouble, and if he didn't have to keep an eye on Jack, then he would've said yes, besides, he said she could show him around another time. The girl smiled to herself and then left to go find her friends who had gone to lunch already.
Jack smiled to herself, "Ne, ne, Jack-chan got it!" she shouted, pulling out her Jack Skellington doll. Hanataro twitched slightly,
"You brought him with you?" he asked her,she merely nodded, and then huggled her doll. He merely shook his head at his friend's childish antics before turning around and walking a bit, "Come on Jack-chan, let's go look around." he told her, but when he turned again to look at her, she was gone, "Crap."
"I want to buy you flowers, it's such a shame you're a boy!" Jack sang twirling through the halls with her Jack doll, she was singing one of her favorite songs, "Flowers" by Emilie Simon, it didn't matter to her that her voice was worse than a dying cat's, just that she had fun while singing the song, "Forget the flowers because the flowers never last for ever, never last for ever, never last for ever, my loooooooooove!" she sang, falling through a slightly open door and tumbling to theground. When she stopped rolling, she was staring at an upside down King's court that had no queen, she looked at the tall blonde of a king with purple blue eyes,who wore a long red robe and puffy pants with a puffy shirt, the court advisor wore some sort of shorter grey cape and puffy pants and shirt as well, he had black hair, wore glasses and had grey eyes, he was also writing something down on a clipboard,there were two knights, one was tall with tan skin, short dark hair, and dark eyes, the other short with blonde hair and big brown eyes, the two court jesters were the same, with light brown, nearly orange, hair that parted different ways for each, and gold cat eyes, and finally, the peasant stood more off to the side with brown hair and big brown eyes.Jack could tell that they were all male from her position on the floor and looking at them all upside down, then she pulled herself up and looked at her doll, "Ne, ne, Skelly-kun, what did I tell you, worm holes that take you to the past do exist, you owe me a cookie now." she told the smiling skeleton.
"Ah, fair maiden, please how might this most noble of kings help thee?" the blonde asked her, showing her a red rose, she merely stared at him before turning back to Skelly-kun,
"See Skelly-kun, he said he's a king, so that means we're in Camelot, let's see the executioner chop off someone's head!" she told the doll, "If I'm lucky he'll even chop off mine!" she added excitedly before attempting to jump out a window. She was nearly out the window, and the tall blonde was already hysterics, before someone pulled her back.
Jack was looking right into the eyes ofthe brown haired peasant."Ne, ne, why did you stop Jack-chan from fulfilling her dream, she almost had it!" she complained to the taller boy,
"Um, because there would be people that would miss you wouldn't there be?"
"Hmmmmm, well Jack-chan guesses Hana-chan and Yaya-san might miss her, but other than them, none that Jack-chan knows." same stupid grin on her face.
"Yaya-san?"
"Hana-chan's mama-chan, silly-san."sticking her tongue out at the boy,
"Ahhh, my wonderfully brave daughter, you ever so bravely saved this young girl from certain death, you are a hero!" the blonde king exclaimed.
'Daughter, is he a cross-dresser?' Jack thought ever so innocently to herself, the king continued to hug the poor brunette until the brunette said something to upset him, causing the blonde to go off somewhere and mope. Now this confused Jack, wasn't the king of Camelot supposed to be a heroic king, not some wimpy person that moped? "Ne, ne, Skelly-chan, Jack-chan doesn't think she's in Camelot no more, no way he could be King Arthur-kun, Jack-chan knows that a king is apposed to be strong. Jack-chan would be better a king and she's a girl!" Jack stated her hands in fists on her hips, if it weren't for the creepily strange pink eyes, she would've looked cute. This caused the blonde who had heard to go even further into his little mopey corner.
Then the door suddenly opened, showing a very distraught red head with violet eyes, he seemed to be panting heavily, but when he saw Jack he immediately walked straight up to her, having regained his composure rather quickly. His eye twitched while glaring steadily at the bluenette, "Jack, where have you been?" he asked the girl rather calmly, Jack smiled before answering
"Ah, well, at first Jack-chan thought she was in Camelot, but he can't be King Arthur-kun, because he'stoo wimpy, so Jack-chan has been wondering that for the past three minutes."
Her friend sweat dropped at how naive she really was, and he shook his head at his best friend.
"Yamato-san?" a voice asked, the boy turned to face the court advisor,
"Ohtori-senpai." he said and bowed to him, suddenly remembering the last time he saw him, "Gomen, about the last time we met, hehe, I, ah, had something bad for lunch that day, heh." he explained to the grey eyed boy,
"Oh, yes, don't worry about it, after all, that was still several years ago."
"Ne, ne, Hana-chan, do you know Glasses-kun?"
"Ah, yeah, I've met him before." he answered to his friend, "Wait, you didn't try jumping while I was gone, did you?" he questioned his friend,
"Yep, but he stopped me." pouting while pointing at the brown haired boy. Hanataro looked at the shorter boy,
"Ah, Fujioka-kun, right? Anyway, thank you for preventing my friend from jumping out the window." bowing in thanks.
"Ah, no, it's perfectly fine Yamato-san, really, and you don't have to call me Fujioka-san, just call me Haruhi." the boy requested,
"Then please do not call me Yamato-san, that's my mother anyway, just call me Hanataro."
"Ah, very well then Hanataro-san."
"Ne, ne, Jack-chan doesn't like you calling Hana-chan that, she wants you to call him Hana-chan too, other wise me gets confuzzled." Jack suddenly said,
"Hana-chan?" Haruhi questioned,
Jack merely nodded her head, "His other name is red, not blue like Hana-chan, and Hana-chan is like blue, not red." she explained. This confused all the Hosts, red, blue, how did names have colors? Hanataro merely sighed,
"Forgive her, I've been trying to convince my mother to buy her a muzzle and leash, but she just won't do it, we'll leave now." he said, before pulling his friend by the collar and dragging her out the door.
"Kyouya-senpai, how do you know Hanataro-san?" Haruhi asked him, the other Hosts stared at him,
"As I already said, I met him some years ago."
"Then what did he mean when he talked about eating something bad?"Hunny questioned.
"When we were introduced, he barely looked at me and then he ducked to the ground, covering his ears, I think he was crying." Kyoya explained, this confused the other Hosts, Hanataro, the guy who seemed to be more like an intense loner type of person, nearly cried when he met Kyoya? Now that was strange.
