A figure walked through the hallways of Ouran High School. He wore the boy's uniform and had short brown hair with red highlights. His footsteps sounded empty as they found themselves at the sign above a door. 3rd Music Room. He smiled and opened the door, only to be greeted with a surprise. Seven men dressed as samurais greeted her.
"Welcome."
"Uh… hi…"
"Oh it's a boy." The blond sighed.
"I haven't seen him before." One of the orange haired twins said, suddenly up close.
"Are you new?" The other one asked, right next to his brother suddenly.
"Yeah. I was just looking around and thought this place would be empty."
"Oh you're new." The blond smiled. "Well the, I will let you know. You have just stumbled upon the host club!"
"… Host club?"
"So you are the new student... Sukaage?" The black haired one with glasses asked.
"Yeah. I'm Ryo."
"What class are you in?" The brown haired, feminine one asked.
"Class 1-a."
"No kidding!" One of the twins smiled. "So are we. I'm Hikaru, and that's Kaoru. And Haruhi is also in our class."
"Haruhi?... Haruhi Fujioka?"
"Yeah…" Haruhi blinked. "Do I... know you?"
"Of course. It's been so long, I guess you don't recognize me."
"You know Haruhi?" the blond asked inching closer.
"Yes. I knew her in elementary school."
All the guys, except the glasses, froze.
"You... You know Haruhi's a girl?" The blond gulped.
"Yes. I'm surprised she hasn't recognized ME yet."
"Umm…" Haruhi blinked thinking. "Ryo?... Ummm…."
"… RYO-CHAN!" The little boy suddenly screamed tackle hugging Ryo.
"Hey Honey-sempai."
"Honey-sempai you know him?" The blond asked.
"Him?" Ryo blinked. "Do I really look so much like a guy now?"
The twins, blond, and Haruhi froze…. A... Girl?
Ryo sat on a couch calmly. "My real name is Ryoko."
"Oh!" Haruhi smiled. "Now I remember."
"That's okay Haruhi. I didn't recognize you either! It has been a few years."
"So… you're a…. cross dresser?" Blondie asked inching closer.
"No. I just can't stand the girls uniform. So I decided to wear the guys."
"..Uh…" Blondie blinked.
"By the way, who are you guys?" Ryo asked. "I know Honey and Mori.. But the rest of you I have no idea."
"Oh! How rude of me." Blondie said becoming prince-like. "I am Tamaki Shou. This is Kyouya Ootori, and you have already met the Hitachin twins."
"Oh… well nice to meet you." Ryo smiled. "So then… the host club hmm… What do you say to me joining?"
"Well what type are you?"
"Type?"
"Well you see…." Tamaki started. "I am the Prince type, Kyouya is the Cool type, and Hikaru and Kaoru are the little devil type. Honey is our boy-Lolita type. Mori is the wild type, and Haruhi, disguised as a boy, is the normal type."
"Well then… I'll be the girl." Ryo smiled. "After all, since you are all guys you obviously only cater to girls. Those poor boys must be so jealous." Ryo grinned.
"Uh…"Tamaki blinked.
"It could be prosperous." Kyouya nodded.
"Well if Mommy says so, then okay!" Tamaki giggled. "Welcome to the host club!"
"Does that mean Haru-chan will be a girl again?" Honey asked, still hugging Ryo.
Tamaki and the twins froze. "I don't really care." Haruhi shrugged.
"It might cause problems… if the students were to discover that Haruhi is really a girl then she'll lose customers and the staff might become angry… And there is a possibility Haruhi will lose her scholarship to Ouran."
Haruhi flinched.
"You don't have to tell everyone you're a girl! Haruhi! Daddy will protect your secret!"
Haruhi sighed and Ryo stared at him in shock. "… Dad…dy?"
"I can be your Daddy too!" Tamaki said going to hug Ryo. Mori saved her, by picking her up.
"Thank you Mori-sempai." Ryo laughed as he set her down.
"Hey wait… you said you know Haruhi from elementary school… But you go here… How does that work?" One of the twins asked.
"Yes, are you a commoner like Haruhi on a scholarship?" Tamaki said getting serious.
Ryo blinked at them, then sighed. "My name is Ryoko Sukaage. I am the daughter of the head of the Sukaage business, so I am not a 'commoner.'"
"Sukaage business?" The twins and Tamaki blinked.
"They own many art related businesses all over the world. Restaurants, museums, recording studios and similar." Kyouya said calmly reading off a notebook.
"Really… Then how did you end up going to elementary school with Haruhi?"
"My mom said I should go to public school." Ryo said calmly.
"Ryo-chan why do you have short hair?" Honey asked hugging Usa-chan, his stuffed bunny.
"Oh…well the man at the salon messed up accidentally and I just told him to do what he could with it. And this was it."
They all stared at her in shock.
"So am I in?"
"Group meeting!" Tamaki said pulling the twins off into the corner. The others followed.
"What do you guys think?" Tamaki asked leaning in for the effect of being sneaky.
"Ryo-chan is nice!" Honey smiled happily. Mori nodded in agreement. "She always loved to eat cakes with me! And Takashi acted like her big brother!" Mori grunted.
"But what about having her join?" Tamaki asked.
"I don't see any problem." Honey smiled. "Takashi?"
He nodded. "If she wants to."
"Mommy!" Tamaki asked Kyouya.
"It could be prosperous, and if it causes problems then we can tell her to leave. It's as simple as that." Kyouya fixed his glasses calmly.
"It might turn out to be entertaining." Hikaru smiled.
"Oh yes." Kaoru smiled. "Hikaru this might become a new fun game with her here."
They all turned to Haruhi to find out her answer. "I don't see what the big deal is with Ryo joining Senpai." She shrugged. "Ryo is nice and I will enjoy talking to her again."
Tamaki froze and went into his fantasy mode. If Haruhi has a girl around to talk around she'll become more feminine herself… and with Ryo she'll have another friend to hang out with besides those demons. He smiled. "ALRIGHT! RYO!" He spun around to face her. "Welcome to the club!"
Ryo smiled looking at all the guys.
