Rambling Stuffs: Well, I started watching the anime while browsing Netflix. I saw it and it immediately caught my eye. I started watching and I couldn't stop. I ended up watching the entire first season of 26 episodes in a day. (If I have this much time, why am I not spending more time writing fanfiction?) I've also found the manga at a local library and will be reading them soon. I really hope there's a season two. In fact, there NEEDS to be a season two, or at least I think so. I want season two as much as Honey loves sweet things. And you know that Honey loves sweet things, just watch episode 12 and you'll see. Otherwise, I'll try to update more, but I'm going back to school soon, and I'll probably be back by the time you're reading this. :( Well, nothing much else, besides the extended summary and OC Log.
Summary: Aaron Everren, an exchange student from America, visiting Japan and going to the Ouran High School, manages to get himself stuck in the middle of the world of the Ouran Host Club, where boys who have too much time on their hands entertain girls who have too much time on their hands, random monkeys throw banana peels right in front of you, Girls using powered motors to rise through the floor everywhere, rival schools kidnapping friends, and Cake.
OC Log:
-Aaron Everren
Age: 15
Height:
5'6 Culture: American
Host Type: Foreigner
Appearance: He has Blue Eyes, Brown Hair, and he's a decently tall person, but definitely not the tallest in the club. He wears the usual uniform of Ouran Academy, and has a Yankees baseball cap that he'll occasionally wear. Personality: He's very cocky, willing to make a bet at any time. He doesn't listen to orders well, and really only listens to Kyoya out of fear. He's very trusting and is one to make friends easy. He's very humble as he isn't filthy rich like most of the Host Club. He's trying to adapt to the strange environment he's been thrust into, so he's confused a lot at the beginning, but he eventually just learns to accept everything.
Bio: 1 out of 1000 students chosen for Ouran's Student Exchange Program, he used to go to a normal school in California. He's a smart kid, fluent in Japanese too, which are the two main reasons he was chosen for the Student Exchange Program. He passed the entrance exams and became the second student that wasn't of excellent social standing or a filthy rich family (though his family has a decent amount of money, enough to get him a uniform and such. His dad's a pilot and his mom's a marketing advisor for a big company.) After moving to Japan, he resides in a small apartment similar to Haruhi's (In a different location) where he lives mostly alone besides bi-weekly checkups from the school.
No, he is not Gary Stu. Everything he does will have reason and consequence. And all the chicks still like Tamaki.
Warning! This fanfic is rated T for the usual Ouran antics, language, sexual themes, overall pervertedness of the characters, and just to be safe. It also has fluff and characters may be a bit OoC, first chapters may also be a bit boring. Follows the anime closely, taking place after season one. I'll add in some manga stuff too. I'm not exactly a pro fanfiction writer, and I'm trying my best! :)
Pairings are as followed:
Tamaki X Haruhi
Honey X Reiko (Yes, she'll be in this. I'm currently reading the manga, so this'll have manga characters.)
OC X OC
More to come!
Well, that's it for the intro stuffs. Please, Enjoy!
OHSHC: A Foreigner's Perspective
Chapter One: In Debt
Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here at the élite private school, Ouran Academy. The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys who have too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super rich and beautiful.
Ouran Academy, 8 A.M.
Ouran Academy had just come back for its second year, and the Host Club was ready as ever to entertain every girl who came in the door. Tamaki was sitting on his throne like he usually did, waiting for everyone else to enter. Kyoya, a tall bespectacled boy with short raven hair, walked into the room, his clipboard and pen in hand like always.
"Hello Tamaki, with the funds Haruhi made last year, I ordered a new vase for the school to auction."
Just as Kyoya, had said, the new vase was there on the pedestal, slightly to the right of the double doors, that had been empty all of last year, waiting to be auctioned during the winter auction.
"I see. That's good." Tamaki said. Tamaki, also a tall person, had light blonde hair, violet eyes (don't ask me how),
Then, the door opened. And the Twins, Mori, and Honey all walked in.
"Hey Boss." Kaoru and Hikaru said in unison. Kaoru had spiky orange hair, topaz eyes, and a devilish look to him. Just like his younger brother, Hikaru. Hikaru and Kaoru were identical twins, so it was difficult to tell them apart.
"Hi Tama-chan!" Honey was a small person, 4'9. He had short blonde hair and hazel eyes. Right beside him was Mori, Mori was a tall, in fact, he was the tallest in the Host Club. He had wild, black hair and onyx black eyes.
Honey ran straight past Tamaki and went to go get some cake, with Mori following shortly behind.
"I see the new vase, hopefully someone doesn't come in and break it." Kaoru said.
"If somebody breaks it again, we get a new toy!" Hikaru said.
"If anyone breaks that vase, they'll owe us 100,000,000 yen."
"That's 20,000 yen more than the last one, better not tell Haruhi you used 20,000 more yen than she owed..." Hikaru said, as if to imply that it could be future blackmail.
"Speaking of Haruhi, where is she?" Tamaki, continuing, asked.
"She's running late, she slept in because she was studying all last night." Hikaru said.
"How do you know this?" Tamaki asked suspiciously. He was now standing up, revealing he was a tall person.
"She texted us this morning. How else would she tell us?" Kaoru finished.
"WHY WASN'T I TOLD OF THIS?! I AM HER FATHER! WHY WOULD SHE TELL YOU SHADY TWINS BUT NOT TELL ME?! AM I EVEN IN HER FAVORITES?! I TOLD HER TO ADD ME!"
Tamaki then proceeded to go on a tyrannical rampage, before going to sit depressed in the corner.
"So this day is going just like any other." Kyoya thought to himself.
Tamaki eventually got up from what the others deemed "Tamaki's Crying Corner."
"Ah, before I forget, if Haruhi is going to be late, we should start without her."
"Start exactly what?" Kyoya asked, hoping it wasn't set up for one of Tamaki's ambitious schemes, it wasn't exactly easy setting up an exact replica of tropical rainforest with flowers and live animals and such. They sometimes had people to help set up, but sometimes they had to do some of it themselves.
"I was thinking we could start the year differently and share a cup of commoners coffee." I was hoping Haruhi would be here so we could all share it, but if we have to we can do it without her."
"But Tamaki, this anime mainly a reverse harem, our lives are supposed to centralize around Haruhi, whatever could we do without her?" Said Kaoru, breaking the fourth wall.
"Well, we're not breaking the "reverse harem" if we do small things without her, its not like we need her to do everything, right?"
"Well, technically you are right, but pretty much everyone in this school knows Haruhi in some way. Heck, Aaron small characters' lives revolve around her." Hikaru said. He was being completely serious.
"Can we please stop with this discussion, I think we're confusing the readers." Kyoya said.
"Wait, I this is a book? I thought this was an anime..." Tamaki was confused.
"No, it's actually a form of fiction commonly called "Fanfiction." All actions and events have already been decided by the author, we're just a means to tell the story." Kyoya explained.
"Well, in that case, could you pleeeeeeaaaaaaaassssseeeeeee pair me up with Haruhi Pretty Please? And while you're at it, give me a Rocket Ship too!" Tamaki was staring at the sky making his cutest face, while thinking of himself and Haruhi having a romantic moment in front of the sun.
"I think it'd just be better if we stopped this line of conversation and forgot it ever happened. I think the author could do without you asking for everything."
"But, but, okay..." Tamaki then went back into his crying corner, imaging what he could do if the author was in his favor.
He eventually got back up and called everyone to a table for the "commoners" coffee he'd said they'd drink. He prepared everyone a cup of coffee, except for Honey, who had milk.
"To a new year!" Tamaki said, raising his cup into the air.
"To a new year!" Everyone repeated. They clinked their glasses together and started drinking.
5 Hours Earlier,
Aaron Everren (read bio above) got off the plane at the Big Bird Tokyo National Airport. It was 3 in the morning in Japan. He'd left at 12 in the morning, and flown for 11 to get here. Thank god for the length of the flight, for he slept 9 hours of it, if he hadn't he'd probably collapse from exhaustion. He walked off the plane and through the colorful airport. He had no clue what to think of it, the flashing lights and odd advertisements were so weird, despite the fact he could read Japanese very well, he still didn't get them. He picked up his bags and stopped to eat at a ramen joint in the airport. It was the cheapest food at the airport and he didn't want to waste the 100,000 Yen he'd been given to start with. He walked out of the airport and hailed a cab to drive him to his new apartment. While driving there, he took in the sights of the city. It was so colorful and vibrant, Aaron at this time in the morning. Way more colorful then where he came from, that's for sure. When the taxi stopped in front of an apartment complex and the driver told him they were at his destination, it took him a while to get out of the trance he'd gotten in looking at the city. He paid, tipped the driver and walked out with his bags.
"Well, I'm here. This is home."
He walked into one of the small apartments and sat down. This would be his home for the next three years as he attended Ouran High School. School didn't start for the next week, but he'd flown in to take care of papers, meet teachers, etc. It was 4 hours and 5 minutes till he toured the school, what to do until then...
He walked around the apartment and found common things, a bed, kitchen appliances and utensils, the pantries and refrigerator were fortunately stocked, so he wouldn't have to worry about food for a while. He got settled in, left a message for his parents telling them he'd gotten there safely. There was really nothing else to do. He had a Pineapple Laptop he'd brought with him, but he wasn't in the mood to go online. He decided just to get some more rest. Despite the fact he'd slept on the plane, he was still considerably tired. He set his alarm for 6:45 A.M. (The tour was at 7:15) and went to sleep.
Ouran High School, 8:45 A.M.
"And that concludes the tour of the premises, any questions?" The student councilor asked.
"No, I'm good. I'd rather explore by myself and get a feel for what I should expect." Aaron, now donned in a school uniform, said.
"Okay, well, if you need anything, you can find me in the office."
"Okay, thank you" Ashton walked off and started exploring.
The first place he went was Library Room Number 4. The moment he opened the door, hundreds of heads turned to look at him. Apparently word had gotten out that a kid from America was transferring and that he wasn't that filthy rich. He was the first foreigner and the second person that wasn't filthy rich to get into the school. Now, of course, if hundreds of heads instantly turn to look at you, what are you going to do? He instantly walked out before the rich children mobbed him. Next, as if by some twist of fate, he walked up the staircase, and walked down the hallway.
He got to the end of the hall and saw the sign, "Music Room #3" and another sign under it, "The Host Club is now open for business." He heard girlish laughter coming from inside.
"Music Room #3...I like Music. But what's a Host Club?"
Aaron was fluent in Japanese. And knew somewhat of Japanese culture. But he had no clue what a Host Club was. Well, he was about to learn.
He braced himself for anything, and slowly opened the doors. Rose Petals flew out of the door and into his face; he was engulfed by pure white.
When he could see again, he noticed a few things. First, there were lots of girls in the room. Second, there were 6 guys flirting with these girls. Third, they were all looking at him.
"Haru-Chan!" A little blonde boy glommed on to Aaron and spun him around in a hug.
"What?" that was all Aaron could stammer, who was this child glomming on to him.
"Ah, good to see you finally made it Haruhi, you're late. Start working." A blonde boy with light violet eyes had issued this command. Who's this Haruhi they were talking about?
"Um..." Aaron was about to say something when he got cut off.
"Hey Haruhi, I see you're wearing contacts, blue eyes look good on you." A boy with spiky orange hair had said that, he was leaning against a pillar in the room, when suddenly; he came from the other side of it too!
"Hey, have you grown since we've last seen you? You look taller."
"Well, I think you migh-" Once again, Aaron was cut off.
"Come on Haruhi! Lets go have some cake!" Aaron was immediately led towards a table where, like the blonde child had said, was cake, and two plates. The blonde child sat down at the adjacent chair and started wolfing down cake, to the point where it was gone at least 5 seconds after he'd begun. Aaron sat down and thought, "What the heck is going on?" Behind the blonde boy was a tall, black haired boy. He was just standing there.
"Remember to brush your teeth." He said bluntly, as if he'd said it many times.
"Okay, I will!" The blonde boy was about to run off when some girls walked up to him. They had smiles on their faces as they looked at him.
"Hi Haruhi, how was break?"
"Yeah, did you do anything?"
He had no idea what was going on. What had he gotten himself into? He hadn't expected anything Aaron close to this happening. He had to get out of here.
"Um, excuse me for a moment."
He stood up and walked away, he found the closest door and walked into it. It was a changing room. Empty too, wrong door.
He found another door that led into a dark, dimly lit room. He sword he could hear something inside the room. He didn't want to risk running into something there, so nope. Wrong door.
He finally found the door he was looking for when someone suddenly appeared in front of him, almost as if he'd teleported or something. Aaron jumped a bit at this person standing right in front of him. He had black hair, wore glasses, and had black eyes. It was almost as if those black eyes were soulless, and the moment he laid eyes on him he knew not to mess with him.
"Haruhi, stop squandering around, at this rate, we're barely making a profit. Go on, it's not like anything's changed." His voice seemed almost mocking, as if he knew something Aaron didn't.
Aaron then went back to sit with the blonde boy. Thankfully the girls from earlier were gone.
"Haru-Chan, are you going to touch your cake? If not can I have it?" The blonde child must've loved cake. He had too.
"Yea, sure." Aaron gave his plate to the child and immediately the slice of cake was gone. He swore it'd been there a minute ago...Just who were these people?
"Well, if you're done with cake, then get to work Haruhi, you seem...off today." The blonde man had said this.
He was immediately sat down on a couch and swarmed by girls.
"Whatever a Host Club is, I don't like it." Aaron silently thought.
"So Haruhi, which girl do you like the most here?" This'd been going on for a while. All he could do was sit there and stammer, he had no idea what was going on, and this'd been going on for at least 15 minutes.
He was being swarmed by questions from the 5-7 girls around him. Whoever Haruhi was, he was a popular guy.
"Haruhi, you're being oddly quiet today, why is that?" Immediately after this was asked, he was barraged with more questions.
"Well, um...I've got to go do something."
He stood up and tried to go for the door, only to be dragged back by the two twins, one at each side, for the fourth time.
"Nah-ah-ah. The boss told us he'd have none of that. What's gotten into you lately." This twin had a slightly mischievous voice.
"Yeah, what has gotten into you? You're just not yourself lately..." This twin had a slightly lighter voice then the other one. He also seemed more mature by the way he was carrying himself. He'd trailed off at the end, and it looked like he was reprimanding himself in his head. He looked over to the other twin who had the same expression.
"Well, you see, the reason I'm not myself today is becau-" Once again, Aaron was cut off, but not by anyone in the room, but by a new person entering the room. He was male, but he looked a bit feminine. He had brown hair, and eyes to match. He seemed a bit smaller than he was, but it was close.
The twins looked over and looked back, then did a double take, like mostly everyone else in the room.
"Hey everyone, sorry I'm late, I studied really late last night, and I woke up really late today." He seemed to know everyone in the room.
"Wait, Haruhi, but if you're you, then who's..." The blonde man's voice trailed off as he looked over at Aaron.
"Aaron Everren, First Year. Recently transferred here due to the foreign exchange program, he was the lucky person who was chosen as the winner. He's the second person to get into this school based off of academic knowledge, with Haruhi over there being the first." The raven-haired bespectacled man had said this. So that was Haruhi at the door.
"Wait, Kyoya, how long did you know this?!" The blonde man was ticked off.
"I knew it from the start. I wanted to see how long it would take for you all to realize. I honestly thought you'd have found out the moment he walked in. When you guys mistook him for Haruhi, I couldn't help but see how long this would go for."
"Sorry boss, but we were in on it two." The two twins had said that unanimously, it was kind of scary.
"Usa-chan and I knew two! Isn't that right Takashi!" The blonde boy said. The large man behind him nodded.
"Honey's right, we knew two. It was obvious the moment he sat down to have cake.
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!" The blonde man was standing up and smoke was coming out of his ears.
"We found out about the second time we had to drag him back. He looks nothing like Haruhi." The two twins dragged him right up to Haruhi at the entrance of the room."
"As you can see, Aaron is taller and has blue eyes, they barely even sound the same." The twins had a point.
"Well, that's just like you, Tamaki-Senpai. You're always lost in your own little world, and you barely pay attention to the real one." Haruhi had said that, very sarcastically too.
Tamaki's face was red. Pure red. He suddenly collapsed on the ground. And arrows appeared out of nowhere and started jabbing him.
"Um...should we help him..." Aaron asked.
"No, this happens at least every other week. Just let him sit like that for a while. He'll get over it.
"Okay...I guess I'll be going then, this was fun?" Aaron started to walk out, and walked past Haruhi, who was now going to go work. He was about to leave when a monkey appeared out of nowhere.
"OOH OOH AH AH!"
The monkey then threw a perfectly placed banana at Aaron's feet. Causing him to slip and fall right into the new vase. He fell to the floor, breaking both the Vase and the Pedestal.
"Ow..." Aaron opened his eyes and saw what had happened.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, if there's anything I can do..."
Kyoya had a dark aura flowing out of his body. He couldn't see his eyes; his hair was covering it, making it dark.
"That vase was 100 million yen. And the pedestal was an extra 200 thousand. The best designers from around the world handcrafted both. We'd just gotten them..."
At this point, Tamaki and the Twins were cowering behind a couch; all the girls had fled the room. Honey was still eating cake and sipping milk. Haruhi was just standing there, looking kind of scared. Kyoya's eyes opened, showing they were glowing red.
"You obviously don't have the money to pay us back, so I guess you'll have to work here. You'll do small errands and menial labor until you graduate."
"Oh god, what have I gotten myself into, my first day, and I'm already in trouble..." Poor Aaron thought.
"And don't even think about escaping, because I have a personal police force. All I have to do is say a word and you'll be hunted and brought back here, no matter where you are, you will be found. Are we clear?"
"Yeah, it's okay with me. Anything I can do." Aaron answered bluntly.
Kyoya seemed a bit shocked by this. He'd expected a response more...fearful. He immediately regained his composure.
"Well, okay then. First things first, we need you to run to the supermarket and get more instant coffee; we drank too much this morning and ran out.
"Maybe that's why we mistook him for Haruhi, we were hyped up on caffeine." Hikaru said.
"You're probably right. We drank way too much. But then why would honey mistake him for Haruhi?
"Easy, I had to much cake for everyone, so I needed someone to eat cake with and none of you wanted to, and if I just had a random person eat cake with me, you'd all be mad. So I said he was Haruhi, I'm surprised you guys went along with it!" Honey was grinning at this. He's smarter than he looks. That's for sure.
"Well, I'll be off" Aaron was about to leave when:
"Powerful Motor"
A laughing could be heard, machinery too, a girl rose through the floor laughing. She had auburn hair and was about as tall as Aaron, maybe shorter.
"So, we've got a new addition to the team, huh? He seems inexperienced based on what happened today."
Wait, she knows what'd happened today? How could she know, was she watching them?
"Looks like he'll need training." That last word was emphasized.
"What have I gotten myself into..." Aaron could only wonder what'd exactly happened. Monkeys coming out of no where and perfectly throwing bananas, scary people rising through the floor, and flying arrows jabbing people? He had a feeling it'd take a while to fully understand just what was happening.
He started walking out the door. The scary lady started talking again.
"Wait, where are you going?"
"To the store, I need to get stuff for everyone."
"But, what about your training?"
"It can wait. We have the entire year."
"WAIT! YOU CAN'T DO THIS, I AM YOUR MANAGER! YOU HEAR ME! YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!"
He was already out the door.
"Oooh, I'll get him for this..." Renge, as she was known, rode her platform down, eventually disappearing all together.
"How long do you'll think he'll last?" Kaoru asked.
"I don't know. Haruhi's still here. And she has to deal with us daily." Hikaru said.
"Yeah, plus, if he tries to leave, Kyoya's private police force will get him." Kaoru replied.
"Well, at least we have an errand boy, and a new toy." Hikaru said.
"Hopefully he gets the right brand." Kyoya joined in. "Tamaki likes a certain kind of instant coffee."
"How can he like a certain type of instant coffee, it's instant coffee?" Haruhi also decided to join in on the discussion.
"Well, Tamaki is certainly a picky person. Very picky. Honestly sometimes it's a pain."
Tamaki, who'd just gotten up, fell right back down as more flying arrows assaulted him.
And Aaron, who was right about at the market, walked in to get instant coffee. And none of them knew what crazy adventures they'd have together.
*Start Shissou*
Well, that's it for chapter one, sorry if it was boring or lame, I just need to set up some things story wise. It'll only take up this chapter and the next, and then the real fun will begin and the story'll pickup. Once again, if any characters were OoC, know that it was warned in the intro and that this is my second fanfiction. I'll try to update this as much as I can, but I'll be in school soon and will have little time to update. I'll try to at least get one out every two months, but it'll probably be faster than that.
For all the Fire Emblem fans that came to know about my other fanfiction "A Tactician's Tale" it's in hiatus until stated otherwise. I feel like I can't get it done well, as I haven't even touched my copy of Fire Emblem for months. If I did release another chapter, it'd probably be horrible, and I'm really trying my best to make each fanfiction just like it could be part of the canon. There will be some crossovers in this fanfiction, but nothing too impossible, like having Star Wars or Legend of Zelda. None of that. Just some other anime and games that take place in Japan.
Well, other than that, please rate and review, if you have any suggestions, feel free to add them into your reviews, if I like it, I'll add it into this. Maybe I'll even throw in an OC or two or do a crossover if I like the idea. Please, no Mary Sues or impossible requests. If you must ship your OC with a character, the Twins, Mori, and Kyoya are all bachelors, so please use them. I guess Renge is open too if your character is a guy. The Zuka Club too, but...
I digress, please rate and review, it'll just be for the greater good. Add suggestions to your review if you'd like to see something happen, and other than that, I hope you enjoyed! More is on the way! (Hopefully)
