(This fanfic will follow the storyline involving episodes 15 and 16 of the anime, but will have a different twist to make it unique. Hope you enjoy!) (p.s. I do no own Ouran High School Host Club or anything else except this fanfic)

Chapter 1

Haruhi's POV:

The sun was brilliant yet soft. Warm and inviting. The kind of weather that made you want to raise your arms and fly off into the sunset. Contentedness.

It was only the first day of vacation, but already I could tell it would be great...even if I was going to be working part time through it all. But that didn't matter. Helping my father's friend, Misuzu, was only natural. It kept my dad from overly worrying about me while he was at work, and frankly I enjoyed my time away from everything. The countryside was absolutely gorgeous during this time of year. So...refreshing.

I reached into a basket and pulled out another bed sheet, preparing to place it over the clothesline alongside the others. As I began to fold it, a breeze brushed past me and pushed my hair slightly behind my ears. My bandana kept most of it in place. I could hear the sound of leaves rustling in the trees and looked over toward the edge of the pension where a neat row of them stood tall, waving back at me as I tossed the folded sheet over the line. I then stood there for a moment, taking it all in.

The trees, the neatly trimmed shrubs, the clouds, the recently mown grass and its leftover scent, and a million flowers of all colors surrounding the cottages. It was all so beautiful. So serene. There were no worries, no troubles of any sort in such a place. I sighed and a smile crept over my lips as I closed my eyes.

And especially no Host Club.

I then heard a faint humming. A hummingbird perhaps? I wrote it off and tossed the sheet onto the line as another gust of wind blew by me, this time stronger. My hair was fluttering at the sides and my frilly apron was flapping against my legs. I reached for another sheet, believing that the wind would cease shortly but it didn't. It instead grew even stronger along with the humming sound. I hung onto the sheet in my hands as it waved in the air like a flag in a tornado and my bandana nearly flew off of my head.

What IS this?!

"HARUHIIIIIIIIIII! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! DADDY'S HEEEEERE!"

I looked up to find a giant helicopter hovering a few feet above my own head and a blonde idiot shouting unnecessarily into a megaphone. The wind caused by the propeller was too much now and the sheet in my hands was torn from my grasp, slipping away into the air, only to fall back to the earth.

Great. Now I'd have to wash it again.

I glared back up at the helicopter and watched as it hovered a short distance away to a clear opening where it was preparing to land. I stood my ground and just continued to stare as it gently anchored itself onto the earth. Its engine was then turned off and within a fraction of a second the door was open and a very emotional Tamaki was sprinting in my direction with outstretched arms as the rest of my nightmare emerged from the helicopter one at a time.

So much for my peaceful vacation.

(A HALF HOUR LATER:)

"OOOOH! You must be Haruhi's friends! I've heard so much about you (from Ranka of course) and the claims were right! You ARE all incredibly handsome!" an energetic Misuzu exclaimed in delight. "Have you come to spend the vacation with Haruhi? She's actually working here part-time since we're low on staff members right now, but don't you worry! I'll make sure you get to spend plenty of time together!"

"Oh, thank you, Misuzu-sama!" Tamaki gushed in equal joy, reaching for the transvestite's hands.

"Please! Call me Misuzu-chi!" the owner chirped.

"Alright, Misuzu-chi!"

The two stood there laughing and speaking about the pension's available guest rooms as the others congregated around me.

"So you're working here in Karuizawa for your vacation, Haru-chan?" Hunny-Sempai asked as his eyes gazed excitedly around at all of the cute things around. "It looks like fun!"

"Mm," Mori agreed.

"We still don't understand why you didn't just go with us to Bali," the twins recited in unison, their arms intertwined as they glanced in my direction. "We could've had a lot of fun together."

"Well, I don't have a passport," I said, as we moved out onto the deck and sat down at the relaxing tables there.

Plus, isn't the point of a vacation to get AWAY from your problems?

"I really like it here, so I wanted to come," I chipped in. "So anyway, when do you all plan to be leaving?"

They all looked over at me with worry and thoughtfulness.

"You don't want us here, Haru-chan?" Hunny-Sempai stared across the table at me with the biggest puppy-dog eyes and so I tried to explain.

"I-It's not that. It's just that I... Well, I mean, I'm working so..."

"Working, huh?" Kaoru considered as he leaned over the table, resting his arms on it.

"Hmm," Hikaru chimed in, following suit. "Isn't there a 'no work without the school's permission' rule in effect?"

My head spun around in their direction as the news hit me.

"Wait, what?!" I asked, the knowledge completely new to me. "But, but I-"

A mischievous smile crossed the twins' faces as they looked at each other and then back at me. By my reaction and their expressions, I knew they had me. We all did.

"Don't worry. We won't tell anyone, Haruhi," Kaoru said tauntingly.

"Yeah," Hikaru added, wrapping one arm around his brother's shoulder. "As long as we can stay here with you for the WHOLE vacation."

The demonic look in their eyes sent chills down my spine and I shivered at the very thought.

This cannot be happening.

"Of course, if the school were to find out about this matter, it would be quite the issue," Kyouya spoke out without looking up from his black notebook. "And we wouldn't want that, now would we Haruhi?"

I turned toward him with wide eyes.

He certainly was the demon king.

I looked around at the lot and unable to match their persistent stares, lowered my head in defeat.

"Fine," I said reluctantly. "You can stay. But only if Misuzu-chi says-"

"OF COURSE IT'S OKAY!" Misuzu-chi sang, twirling about with gleaming eyes. "I would positively be HONORED if such a group of HANDSOME young men as yourselves would stay here!"

"Wait! Misuzu-chi!"

"I will hear no protest, Haruhi! These men are all so REFRESHING! They must stay! And you can escort them around for the rest of the day, too, okay? They're your friends and you should definitely spend time with them during this vacation, starting right now!"

"But Misuzu-chi!"

"RIGHT NOW!" he exclaimed pushing Haruhi and the rest of the boys back into the pension and toward a large staircase. "Now please show them to their rooms!"

"But what about the rest of my chores?!"

"Don't worry about those right now, Haruhi! Just enjoy your time with your friends!" He then wrapped an arm around my shoulder and leaned down toward my ear and whispered, "You never know! By the end of this vacation maybe one of these boys could be all yours!"

He giggled giddily and pranced away, leaving me standing at the base of the staircase with a deep blush rising to the surface of my cheeks and a bunch of hosts around to see it.

"Haru-chan, is something wrong?" Hunny-Sempai asked, tilting his head slightly up at me.

"Misuzu-chi must've said something REALLY embarrassing to Haruhi, huh Kaoru?" Hikaru whispered to his twin loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Oh, yes, Hikaru," the twin responded just as loudly. "But what ever could it be?"

Then in the blink of an eye they were both there, one on either side of me, sandwiching me between their bodies.

"Please tell ussss..." they hissed seductively into my ears, making me turn an even deeper shade of red.

"Hey! Let go!" I said, trying to free myself from their grasp, but they held tight.

"Right after you tell us..." they once again said in unison. Their lips were so close to my skin I could feel their breath on me. So warm...

"UNHAND MY DAUGHTER, YOU PERVERTS!"

Tamaki ripped me away from the twins and hugged me so close to his chest that I almost felt nauseous.

"ARE YOU OKAY, HARUHI?!" he burst. "THOSE SHADY TWINS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU, DID THEY?!"

"No! Now please let go of me Sempai!" I said, trying to push him away. He loosened his grip a little, but then took ahold of my hand and began to pull me up the stairs.

"Good! You shouldn't be around them by yourself! I'll protect you, though! So anyway, let's go find my room! It's up here, right? Which one is it, Haruhi?! Is it this one?"

As I was dragged up the stairs I was able to turn my head just enough to see the twins following right behind, a look of interest plastered to their faces.

"Yes," they recited. "And then you can show us our room, Haruhi."

The mischievous smiles reappeared.

This is going to be one LONG vacation.
