Prologue (Soza Sohma's P.O.V.)
I couldn't believe my cousins and I were going to attend Ouran High School! This was going to rock!
I stood quietly behind my orange-haired cousin, Kyo, practically bouncing on my toes. Yuki was beside me, dark silver hair gently blowing in the wind, with Hatsuharu on his other side, spiky white-and-black hair swaying slightly. Momiji was holding my hand as we waited for the train to arrive, his blue hat almost covering his blonde hair. Kagura stood next to Kyo, brown hair down and gray eyes shining. Kisa and Hiro, my two youngest cousins, were transferring to Ouran's Middle School building. Shigure, Hatori, and Ayame were escorting us to Ouran High and they were staying with us in a new home because 'with this many children in one house, including poor Tohru, there must be at least three responsible adults with them!' (cough, cough- Shigure- cough, cough). Ritsu, though apparently he didn't count as a responsible adult, was coming with us too.
Tohru Honda, Shigure's housekeeper and our close friend, was coming with us, as she had been transferred to Ouran as well.
I could barely contain my excitement as a steely silver train pulled into the station and squeaked to a stop. Momiji's brown eyes gleamed at the sight of the locomotive as the cursed members of the Sohma clan boarded with Tohru in our midst.
We filled up almost half of the empty train car we had picked. Shigure, Hatori, and Ayame sat together with Shigure and Ayame on one side and Hatori on the other. Kisa and Kagura sat together, facing Hiro, who sat by the window. Momiji sat beside Tohru, and Kyo and Yuki were opposite of them and next to each other, arguing about their seats.
Instead of sitting by Hiro, I plopped down on an empty bench across the aisle, as I wanted a window seat and he had taken it, unwilling to switch.
The train jerked forward and I watched as the station ended. I was steadily lulled to sleep by the passing scenery.
/TIME SKIP/ =)
When I awoke, there was a boy sitting beside me. He was probably fourteen, like me, and had light brown (or dark blonde) hair and steel-gray eyes.
He didn't notice I was awake because he was busy arguing with a blond-haired boy and a silver-haired girl across him- and me, for that matter.
"Come on, brother, school can't be that bad!" the light-haired boy was saying. "I'm sure Ouran accepted us for a reason."
"And what do you know about school, Al?" the blonde-haired boy retorted. "You've never been to one. And it didn't accept us, Mustang was the one that filled out the applications behind our backs."
"That doesn't mean the school's bad…"
"It doesn't mean it's not bad either." The silver-haired girl chimed in.
I sat up straight and looked around at my family; Kisa and Hiro were in a dead sleep, Kagura was leaning over the back of her chair to talk to Tohru and Momiji, who were smiling, and Shigure was whining at something Hatori said while Ayame comforted him. At least Kyo and Yuki weren't bickering anymore and I know why because Kyo now sported a black bruise on his lower jaw.
"Oh, I'm sorry, were you saving this seat for anyone?" I turned to the boy beside me.
I shook my head at his question.
He held out his hand. "I'm Alphonse Elric." He said. "And this is my brother, Edward Elric, and our friend, Violet Silverblade."
I shook his hand. "My name is Soza Sohma."
"It's nice to meet you." Alphonse said.
"You too."
The rest of the train ride was pretty quiet- until Kyo hit Momiji for annoying him and Yuki smacked Kyo for making Momiji cry.
"You wanna go a round with me?" Kyo snarled.
"No, you idiot, we're on a train." Yuki retorted in his low, soft voice.
"So?"
I rolled my eyes as Yuki came up with a witty remark for that last comment.
Hatori sighed. "Shut up, you two. You'll disturb the other passengers."
"You tell 'em, Hatori!" I cheered, laughing.
"You want a piece of me, Soza?" Kyo raised his fist threateningly.
"Bring it!" I leaped over the back of my bench and crossed the aisle, bracing myself as my orange-haired cousin lunged at me. He knocked onto the ground, where he pinned me down, but I pushed him off.
I was on top of him before he could react and we tussled around until Hatori pulled us apart.
"Will you two sit down?" he hissed.
"Don't stop us yet, I was starting to enjoy it!" I objected.
"Behave." My older cousin warned, his black hair covering his left eye. He pushed me toward my seat and Kyo toward his.
Grumbling, I sat back down next to Alphonse.
"Um, I don't mean to be nosy but, do you know them?' Alphonse asked tentatively.
"They're my cousins. Everyone from Hatori over there to Kyo and Yuki on the other end of the train car; well, except Tohru, she'd just a friend."
"Since when do you talk to strangers, Soza?" Yuki asked, eyes closed to hide his annoyance.
"Since never." I retorted. "Alphonse and I aren't strangers, are we?"
"Uh, no, not really, but we just met a little while ago."
I elbowed him in the side. "Could've left that part out." I muttered to him.
"Sorry."
"So, where are you and your cousins headed, Soza?" Edward spoke for the first time in a while.
"Tokyo." I replied. "We're going to start attending Ouran High School."
"We are too!" Alphonse looked excited. "Do you know what it's like there?"
I shook my head. "But at least I won't be totally friendless when I get there."
Alphonse smiled at this and I grinned back.
Violet Silverblade's P.O.V. /TIME BACK/=)
I sat on the seat next to Ed, Al settling down beside a girl with braided white hair that was black at the tips. She was asleep.
I can't believe Colonel Mustang made me, Edward, and Alphonse go to some snobby, rich kid school. Ugh. And to make sure we actually got there, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes sent us with two escorts: the Strong Arm Alchemist, Major Armstrong, and the Flame Alchemist himself, Colonel-
/Flashback/
"Mustang!" I shouted in Hughes's face. "Why Mustang? I can't even stand Armstrong! Why throw Mustang in the mix?"
"The Colonel wanted to make sure that you and Edward actually get to the school." Hughes replied, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"But-!"
"No buts, Violet. Get on the train."
"No!"
At that, Major Armstrong picked me up and slung me over his shoulder, trotting onto the train with me protesting loudly.
/End of Flashback/
Mustang and Armstrong were sitting in the very corner of the train car, silent. Suddenly, the white-haired girl woke and looked around.
Kaji's P.O.V.
I stumbled- again. Weariness and hunger gnawed at my stomach, but Toboe complained first.
"When do we get to eat?" the brown wolf pup whined, trudging along behind me.
Kiba looked over his shoulder. "We'll eat when we reach the next town."
"What about that high school that was looking for more students?" Hige asked. "Ouran High, wasn't it?"
The white wolf nodded.
"Who needs school?" Tsume growled.
"It'll give us good cover." Kiba answered. "Darcia won't suspect Cheza to be enrolled in a school."
"And that wolf-hunter won't think to look for wolves there." I added.
Kiba nodded in agreement. "That too."
"So, we're really going?" Tsume asked.
Kiba nodded.
"Then we should pick up the pace." Hige stated, trotting ahead.
Cheza walked between Kiba and Tsume. "What is a school?" she asked. "This one does not understand."
Addi's P.O.V.
"When's Violet going to get here?" I asked the Ishbalan beside me.
He peeked around the corner of the alley. "I don't know. I don't think the train's come in yet."
"Oh, right." I totally forgot. "What are we going to do about the escorts?"
Jazon turned to me. "What escorts?" he asked.
"Well, I'm sure they'll have escorts or else Violet wouldn't even make it to the school."
"Good point, but we promised we'd visit her there. We'll just have to find a way around them."
I flattened my ears and slid my red beanie over my head to cover them, making sure my furry tail was hidden in my pants before leaving the alley, Jazon following with his sunglasses firmly in place over his eyes.
Kyoya Ootori's P.O.V.
I looked in my laptop's files, the new students' information should be in here by now. Ah, there it is. I clicked the file and opened it.
First was a girl named Violet Silverblade. She was an only child whose parents had both died during a train accident, which laid upon her the loss of her right arm. She lost her right leg to a… a chimera attack? I had heard of chimeras being created in other countries by means of Alchemy, but I'd never seen one before. Looks like Violet lost her left foot in an attempt to separate her friend and a wolf when she was turned into a chimera. Creepy. Now she had prosthetic limbs called automail. Forced into State Alchemist-ship by Colonel Mustang. She's called the Electric Soul Alchemist. She's in love with an Ishbalan, much to the distaste of the military, and her best friend is still a chimera, though she's more human than when she started out. Violet seems to have been through a lot.
My eyes scrolled down the list. Edward Elric. Mother died and father gone. One sibling, a younger brother, Alphonse Elric. He's a State Alchemist, the Fullmetal Alchemist. Interesting.
Alphonse Elric was attending this school too.
The next name I saw was Soza Sohma. Part of the Sohma clan. She moved to Tokyo so she could attend Ouran. She now lives with her four adult cousins and eight other cousins, who will also being going to Ouran.
I read through the entire list of Sohmas and the parent signature for each one was from a man called Hatori Sohma. He must be their guardian.
After that I saw the name Kiba. Funny, no last name. I kept reading, but it wasn't very informative. No known siblings, family and friends died in a fire. Nothing much.
The name Tsume was next. No last name either and there was absolutely nothing on him. He'd been on the streets his whole life, gangs were his thing. Such a checkered past.
Next was Hige. No last name, and it seemed he got by any way he could. Nothing else.
Tsuki. Still no last name; this was bugging me. Something wasn't right. I flicked my eyes down the list.
Toboe. No last name.
Kaji. No last name.
Cheza. No last name.
"Ugh!" I growled in frustration. "What is wrong with this thing!"
"Kyoya-sempai, are you okay?" Haruhi was suddenly behind. Everyone else was hiding behind the couch.
I took a moment to regain my composer. "Yes, everything's fine. I'm just slightly frustrated. Some of the new students just didn't enter their last names into the system. It's just annoying me."
Haruhi nodded and walked away, probably to tell the others what I said.
I sighed and went back to reading.
