Chapter 1
Haruhi stood in front of the gate of Ouran High School. He looked down at his twin who was holding his hand. They had finally made it! Their mother would be so proud!
"Nii-chan, are we going in?"
"Hai. Are you sure you want to come with me?"
"I'm going to go to school with you and nothing will change that, you promised."
"I know, but I wanted to be sure you were ready. Let's go."
Hand in hand they walked through the gate and into the school, until they reached the headmaster's office.
"Sou-san, thank you for seeing us."
The first day of school came and the Fujioka twins put on their matching uniforms and took the subway to school. Although they enrolled together, they had seperate homerooms: Haruhi in room 1A and his twin in 1B. They loved the individuality but would miss eachother.
"We could meet in a music room, nii-chan, study together there after school."
"How 'bout the one on the third floor? Sou-san mentioned it wasn't used for music anymore, so it should be fine." She nodded.
In Haruhi's class, there was a set of Twins. If he could figure what name went with which face, he would talk to them about good pranks. He smirked, he loved pulling pranks with his sister as much as he loved his sister.
The end of school came and Haruhi walked to the third music room. When he opened it, he saw people flirting.
A host club huh? Nee-chan, you've gotta see this!
"Ah! Is this a new customer!?" an annoyingly chipper voice asked.
"No, he's not," said a boy with glasses known to Haruhi as Ootori Kyouya.
"Kyouya-san. Fancy meeting you here. How's your sister doing? Still keeping you in line?" Haruhi asked formally.
"As much as she can, Haruhi-san," he returned formally. "How is your family?"
"Haru'll be here momentarily. We were put in seperate classes. It can be a bother sometimes."
"Indeed."
"Kyouya? Who is this?" It was one of the red haired twins from Haruhi's class. There was a tsking sound behind Haruhi. Everyone looked to find a clone of Haruhi.
"How's that, nee-chan? They're in your class and don't even know who you are. Unprofessional," the clone sniffed.
"This is Haruhi's twin, Haru. Nice to see you again," Kyouya informed the others. Haruhi winked at Kyouya when he noticed that he was playing along with their gender benders.
"Haruhi wouldn't stop going on and on about how horrible you'd be with our father, what with your networking abilities."
"Another pair to play with," the Twins said. "I'm Hitachiin Hikaru and this is Karou."
"And I'm Suo Tamaki; the Valient. And here, we all give ladies pleasure in out social graces and-"
"And lessons in selfishness, conceit and being pompous," Haruhi said. "I wonder why they keep coming back to you. At least Kyouya-san is truthful in his tactful way, but you have nothing any girl would want."
Tamaki deflated and curled into a ball on his side.
"Wow, he could grow mushrooms,"Haru stated dryly. "Nee-chan, mother would be proud of how you defended Kyouya-san. Remember her trouble with...that club? Father's career had just started at the bar."
"Mmhmm."
"I remember that bar. Very interesting place. The waiters were eager to please in those outfits," Kyouya said.
"Father said that you'd been in. Did you dress for the occasion or go in your normal attire?" Haruhi teased, looking around the room while Kyouya flushed slightly.
The room was decorated as a French garden and the hosts all dressed for the part...even Kyouya. That was surprising.
"So Kyouya,"Haru said quietly as she read her brother through their one-in-a-million link of the mind. "Is Tamaki your mate or do you get something out of dressing like a theater act?" Tamaki continued sulking, obliviously rocking back and forth muttering under his breath about mean people ganging up on him.
"A little of both, I get the experience of being treasurer and book keeper here," he replied.
"How many shares have you bought out of that family business of your father's?"
"Enough," he evaded. The twins nodded back at him. A chipper voice broke them from their wandering thoughts.
"Why's the door blocked?" A blonde cherub, thing, walked in from the back room followed by a tall, dark man.
"Haru, Haruhi, this is Haninozuka Mitskuni and Morinozuka Takashi; the upper class men in our club. They would beat most black and blur before you could take a stance, so behave," Kyouya warned.
"Hai," they answered.
"Kyo-chan," Hani-san said. "Why are you warning them? You usually let people find out for themselves or tell them when they finally ask." The three people in question smirked. Not in a good way either.
"Because he doesn't have a choice, right?" the twins asked in tandem.
"Hai, I have no choice. I fully blame my mother and her youth." Everyone looked confused.
"So. Time is money. Let's get back to work," Kyouya demanded. Tamaki came out of his stupor and stood up.
"You two should stay!" he proclaimed with weird lights, roses, and lots of glitter.
Haruhi turned and made eye contact with Haru. After a moment of mental conversation, they turned to Kyouya and held out their right hands. "Pay up Kyouya-san!" Haru demanded.
"And give me your cell so we can call dad," Haruhi said. Kyouya put his hands in his pockets, dug out his cell and handed it to Haruhi and 3000 yen to Haru with a frown marring his face.
"Careful Kyo-san,"Haru cautioned.
"If you keep that up, you'll have wrinkles... and have to file for bankruptcy," Haruhi finished without looking up from where he was typing a message to his father. A second later, the phone started ringing.
"Kyouya-san, 1000 yen says it's dad and he's not happy."
"Deal."
Haruhi put it on speaker phone, and the sound of a yelling Ranka filled the room. Everyone in the room, ladies included, turned their attention toward them.
"HOW COULD YOU?! AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER WITH SUCH CLUBS, HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT?!"
"DAD!" the twins roared. There was silence on both ends of the phone. "It's not like mom's club, that one is only girls. Plus, Kyouya-san is here," Haru explained slowly with exaggerated patience.
"Kyouya-chan! How are you?"
"Fine Ranka-chan. My sister sends her love and my father his distant, respectful, and utter loathing for you and your family. How are you?"
"I'm trying to adjust to my angels out of the house. The last time I saw you was at the funeral. We should get together soon and discuss embarrassing stories about mutual contacts, yeah?"
"Hai, I would enjoy seeing you again."
"Take care of my Haru's and make sure they're home by 5:00 pm. Haruhi, could you make your special recipe you perfected from Misuzu-chi?"
"Sure, dad. I'll have it ready by the time your second shift is done. Can Haru make that American dessert she found? Those chocolate fudge brownies?"
"OOOO, yes! See you two tonight. We need to meet up soon Kyo-chan."
"Hai. Bye!" the three of them said.
"1000 yen Kyo-san!" the Haru's exclaimed.
"Damn," he cursed as he handed over the money."
"Now ladies, may we socialize with you?" Haru asked.
"Hai!" they shrieked back.
Fangirls...
