Ouran Academy. The private school for rich people who think their better then every one. Ha! Yeah right.

Running a hand through her long messy raven hair, she looked at her cousin, who reached to about her shoulder, and had messy brown hair. her eyes were covered by her glasses, and wore black pants with a baggy blue gray sweater over a long sleeve white t-shirt. Brown shoes were on her feet. Well, Kagome wasn't exactly wearing the school uniform either.

She had on boots, and black slacks. She wore a gray buttoned up shirt, but the top two buttons were undone, giving her neck some room to move around, as well as show off her collarbone. Her black tie was hanging very loosely halfway down her chest, and her raven black hair was flowing freely down, only to stop at the middle of her back. Her deep blue eyes were covered by her long bangs.

They both stopped walking, and she took a glance at the sign sticking out above the door. Realizing this was their assigned Homeroom, they walked through the opened doorway. Once she entered she noticed that all the chatter quickly quieted down, and everyone had their eyes on them. She shrugged, not caring, and leaned against the farthest wall, closing her eyes.

After a few silent moments, every female in the room started to giggle and whisper to each other while the males just continued to stare openly at them. Soon the teacher walked in and everything got quiet once more.

"Okay everyone." He clapped his hands together. "The seats will be picked by number so please form a line in front of my desk and I shall seat you properly with the number you pick out of the box." He gave a smile and everyone slowly got in line.

Kagome sighed and looked at her cousin, who was looking around the classroom in wonder. Well, at least someone was enjoying this place--

"Next." Hearing the voice being called close by, she looked ahead and realized she was already next in line to pick.

"Hmm…" She walked forward and the girl holding the box started to blush. As she reached into the box she gave the girl a quick glance, and the woman squealed in delight. She sighed, pulling out her slip of paper. Walking up to the desk she told the teacher her number. "Kagome Higurashi, Number 15."

"Alright…" He handed her the seating chart, while scribbling down on his own paper.

She took the paper with a bored attitude and strolled down the aisle. Once she got to her desk she pulled the seat out roughly before plopping her butt into the wooden chair. She snorted and stuck her hands into her pockets. She sighed in a bored tone, already feeling tired of the whole 'school' thing.

"Kaoru!" A voice called from her right.

"Hikaru!" Another voice called to her left. "Oh brother! Whatever shall we do? We've been separated!" He sounded all dramatic. She watched as two twins from either side of her ran towards each other and then embraced one another.

"I'm scared Hikaru." One of them whispered to the other, while small tears showed at the edge of his eyes.

"Don't worry Kaoru, I'll always be with you." He tried to reassure his brother, while gripping his chin and lifted his head up to look him in the eyes. All the females in the room squealed at their brotherly-love scene, and multiple anime hearts started to float around the room.

"There's just one seat between you…" She sighed at them in boredom. "It's not such a big deal…"

"Such a negative person…" They spoke at the same time, with a devilish gleam in their eyes.

"What?" She glared at them, while a growl erupted through her chest. She was half standing, half sitting ready to pound in there faces when she felt a hand on her shoulder holding her down. She turned and saw that Haruhi was sliently begging her not to be vilant. Her anger vanished. "Alright, alright." She said with a sigh and sat back down. Haruhi sat in the desk behind her, between the two twins-- Oh what joy she will be having. She glanced back at her over her shoulder, watching Haruhi set up her books and things. The teacher then clapped his hands and started class. The twins then paid the girl no mind, and took their seats. She sighed and stared at the teacher, not really hearing him and waiting for class to end.

next day…

Kagome sighed and ran a hand through her hair. How packed can this school get? Haruhi was opening each door they passed. Huffing quietly as they were met with another disappointment. "Is there any place to study in this building at all?" Haruhi questioned with annoyance.

"There better be." Kagome spoke while looking out the giant windows that light up the corridors. Not really paying attention to anything Haruhi was doing, even if they both needed to study. After several minutes of Haruhi and her walking through the school, Kagome spotted a sign…

"Look it's a music room! I don't think it's being used." Kagome stated happily while pointing at the door they were standing in front of. "We can study here!"

"Ok..."Haruhi replied in a hesitant tone. With their minds made up, Kagome and Haruhi put their hands on the door knob and turned it. As soon as they opened it fully, rose petals bombarded the two. Kagome and Haruhi both looked blankly, while wondering where the hell these petals came from. "Welcome!"

An alluring chorus of males greeted them with a small welcome. Kagome sweat dropped, while reaching up and plucking off a petal that was stuck to her cheek.

"Greetings newcomers, I welcome you to our host club." A tall male with blond hair was the first to welcome them. A small click sounded behind her, and she glanced over, noticing that the door closed on its own. Oh no--

"H-Host club?!" Haruhi sounded surprised and she backed up against the door. Kagome also backed up against the door, trying to get the door open. "What? It's just Boys?" The twins questioned . Kagome stopped trying to get the door to open when this was said. 'Boys?' she thought.

"Hikaru and Kaoru, you two are in the same class as these two men, right?" The male with the glasses questioned.

"Yea but...These two don't get along with the others well, so we really don't know these guys." The twins said in unison. "Hmm." He gave a knowing huff, while smirking. "Well that wasn't very polite." He told them. They just shrugged, not caring. "Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Students." He greeted them.

"What?" The blond sounded surprised, and quickly stood up from his chair. "You must be Haruhi Fujioka and Kagome Higurashi! You're the exceptional honor students we heard so much about!"

"How did you know our names?" Haruhi asked, sounding slightly nervous about all of the men staring at us.

"Why you're infamous, it's not everyday that commoners gains entrance into our academy." Glasses spoke up once again. At the word commoners, both Haruhi and Kagome paled and felt as though someone had dropped a giant boulder upon them as the word 'commoners' hung above their head. The weight of the word spoken for the males mouth had an affect on them.

"They say it's pretty hard to be accepted as a special student unless you are both studious bookworms." He continued on, not noticing their distress.

"Ah... th-thank you..." Kagome replied, while trying to take the harsh words the male spoke as a compliment.

"You must have an audacious nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into this school as an honor student, Mr. Fujioka." Glasses added his own comment yet again.

"I--Umm-- Thank you I guess…" Haruhi took his words as a compliment.

You're welcome!" The blond spoke happily to her, while appearing out of nowhere and wrappings his arms around Kagome and Haruhi's shoulders boldly. "You're heroes to other poor people!" His voice held high cheers and he seemed overly excited about the whole thing. "You've shown that even a poor person could excel in an elite private academy!!" Hearing his words she tried to scoot away from him, but he just followed her in a calm pace, dragging Kagome with him and while doing so he continued to 'compliment' her. "It must be hard for you to constantly be looked down upon by others."

"I think you're taking this 'poor' thing too far." She told him, while still trying to slide away from him.

"It is a shame really, even though you are the number one student in your class, you are the poorest student in the whole school!" Though he said that, he didn't sound as if he was pitting her-- "Others might marginalize you as a lowly commoner, but not anymore!" He finally caught up to her, and placed his arms around her shoulders once again. His eyes held a newfound light as they sparkled with joy and delight while staring into the sky. "Long live the poor!" He sounded out happily. "We welcome you poor-men to our world-- Of beauty!!" He raised his hands into the air and roses appeared around him in a dramatic effect as his eyes sparkled in delight.

"We're leaving…" they weren't affected by his display and turned around, walking towards the door.

"Hey!" A small voice called out, grabbing her hand and pulling her further into the room. "Haru-chan! Haru-chan, you're a hero!?" A small blond boy smiled brightly at her, impressed. "That's awesome!" He beamed at her, showing one of the cutest expressions she hasn't seen in a long time.

"I'm an honor student, not a hero--" Haruhi corrected him. "Wait, who're you calling Haru-chan!?" She yelled at him. The boy cried at her loud shout and backed away from her, running to the largest guy in the group, tears in his eyes. "I never would have imaged the famous bookworms to be so openly gay…" The tall blond mumbled to himself.

"Gay…?" Haruhi and kagome spoke in unison as they slowly turned their heads towards him. Gay? Kagome repeated in her mind.

"So tell me what kind of man you're into!" His eyes lit up once again, sparkling with delight. "Do you like the strong silent type--?" The tall man the little boy ran to looked towards them. "The Boy-Lolita--?" The small boy looked up from his stuffed rabbit and gave a cute grin. "How'bout the mischievous type--?" The two twins gave a small pose, linking their arms together. "Or the cool type…" The dark-haired male smirked, and pushed up his glasses with his finger.

"Whoa, wait—its not like that! We were just looking for a place to study--!" Thet tried to tell him while still speaking in unison.

"Or maybe~" But he wasn't listening. "You're into a guy like me." He reached out and gripped Kagome's chin gently, lifting her head to look at him in the eyes, his face way to close for comfort. "What do you say?" He gave her a pleased grin. Kagome stiffened and her instincts kicked in, sending Tamaki flying across the room with a punch to the cheek. She heard the twins laughing when she suddenly got a headache and felt dizzy. Stumbling slightly she felt her cousin secure a hold upon her person so she wouldn't fall.

Kagome took a step backwards, and brought both her and Haruhi down as they lost their balance. The siblings fell backwards, their eyes widening as they collided with something. Turning to see what they had hit, the siblings eyes widened as they noticed the expensive looking vase fall to the floor, both stretched their hands out hoping to catch it. But it was of no use when they only touched the vase with the tips of their fingers. It hit the floor and shattered into pieces big and small. There bellies were on the pedestal with there hands reaching out, as if trying to catch air. Both of there faces paled, and there eyes went wide with shock.

"Aw~" Both of the twin's sighed, appearing behind Haruhi and Kagome.

"We were going to feature that vase at the in-school auction." She could tell right away that the one who was speaking was Hikaru, easily telling the two twins apart.

"Now you did it commoners!" Kaoru also added. "The starting bid was going to be 8 Million yen!"

"8 Million Yen!!!" Haruhi's eyes practically bulged out of her head. "How many thousands is that? How many thousands are in a million?" She started to mumble to herself while rapidly counting with her fingers. "You've gotta be kidding me…." Kagome groaned while slowly turning around to face the twins. "We'll pay you back…"

"With what money?" They asked. "You guys can't even afford a school uniform." Their words hit her hard, and she hung her head, sweating bullets, knowing they were right--

"What's with that grubby outfits you got on anyway?" Kaoru asked.

"Well, what should we do Tamaki?" Glasses asked.

"You've may have heard the famous saying." The blond sat back down in his chair and crossed his legs proudly while pointing at them. " 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' 'If you don't have any money, you can pay with your body.' " Not sure if she's heard of that last one-- "Starting today you will be the Host Club dogs!"

Kagome and Haruhi just stood there frozen as they heard the word dog and all life drained from their bodies 'till they were nothing but an empty statue. She didn't notice as all the men gathered around them, and the little boy started to poke Haruhi—

"Poke Poke" He spoke his actions--

The treatment caused the unmoving girl to fall over limply, void of all response. All of them just continued to stare at them. Kagome was only looking at the ceiling in shock, then laid her hand over her eyes dramatically and groaned. "See Haruhi! These things always happen to me!" Haruhi stood up and sighed. "How are we going to pay for this?" They looked at each other thoughtfully, there had to be a way they could pay for this! Haruhi then spoke up, slightly hesatating. "There is one option, and that would be to ask your father for…" She didn't finish as Kagome became silent, and slowly looked at her cousin. "No Haruhi…I will never go to him for anything."

The host club watched them in interest, as Kagome turned her back to Haruhi. How could she say that? She knows how her so called father treated her. Kagome had a determined look on her face face. "Alright, fine. We'll be the 'Dogs'." Tamaki who came back from his sulking corner, looked at them thoughtfully for a second. Kagome stared at the blond man. He did kinda look cute—Tamaki broke her thoughts. "Excellent!" The blond spoke in awe. She suddenly felt him grab her chin and lifting her head up so he could get a good look at her face. He couldn't see the eyes and up. "Such beauty! Cold and collected. Perfect ideal image for a host club member! now, lets see the rest of your face…" He reached up his other hand to move her bangs; she grabbed his wrist before he could. "First of all, I'm not a member, just the dog" She rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see that. "And second, Maybe you should think about the consequences before you start making passes at people." She pointed to the bruise on his cheek. "I don't think you want another one." Kagome smirked as he backed away from her and realized that she was actually looking forward to coming to school tomorrow…
