DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club except this fic's plot and the OCs. That is all. :)

"Ouran High School Host Club. Admission requirements: status and wealth. The rich have as much time as they do money. This host club was set up by beautiful high school students who had too much time on their hands for the purpose of serving rich female students who had too much time on their hands. A luxurious first class playground for a super rich school…"
"Waaah! Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai are going to college next year already!" Suou Tamaki, now a junior student in Ouran, cried out.

"How long has he been like this?" Fujioka Haruhi, now a sophomore, asked the Hitachiin twins (who are now also sophomores).

"Since the first day of school." The twins reply in chorus.

"That long already?"

"I have decided! I will go on a search for new recruits! —looks at Haruhi— Well, any good luck charms for me?"

Haruhi faces the king with a clueless expression in her face.

"You were saying, senpai?"

And the next thing she knew, his highness walked away in a sulky way.

"Hey Kyouya-senpai, aren't you going to stop him?" Haruhi asked.

"Let him be." The shadow king said, "You can't stop him. Besides…he'll be back in…3…2…1--"

"Hah!" Tamaki exclaimed, closing the door behind him, "I've decided…to start my quest…later on!"

"You're hopeless." The twins muttered.

"Tama-chan…do not worry. We're still here!" Honey said to the sulking blonde as he was offering him a piece of delicious chocolate cake. "Cake?"

The next day, just outside the campus, a limousine stops and out came a student with reddish brown hair and emerald-colored eyes.

"Who's that?" "He's…so handsome!" "I think he's that transfer student from the United States!" "Kya!" "Tamaki-sama should get him as a host!" "Kawaii!"

"Hmm?" The student mumbled at the sight of admiring girls nearby, "What's with those girls —bumps into another student— Ah, gomen! I didn't mean to--hey!"

"Don't interfere with me and my business…got it?" The unidentified student muttered, dropping the new student to the ground.

"Itai…that hurts…" The newbie stood up, with the help of someone who helped the newbie up.

"So, you can speak Japanese too, ey, Kiyoko Kaede?"

"For your information, I'm half-American and half-Japanese. And--matte, you know my name?"

"Of course, who wouldn't? And…oh, sorry, my name is Suou Tamaki. Welcome to Ouran High School."

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything!"

"Why —points at admiring girls— are those girls looking lovesick?"

"Why? —gasps— Aha!"

"Eh? Aha wha--?!"

And before finshing the sentence, Kaede was whisked away by Tamaki to…

...Music Room 3.

"Tamaki-senpai…" Haruhi muttered.

Haruhi and the other host club members were at awe.

"Minna-san, meet our new member…Kiyoko Kaede!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"M-m-m-member?! W-w-what?!"
