Chapter One: Fated Phone Call

I do not own Ouran Highschool Host Club… Unfortunately :P


I groaned out in exasperation as my ears were filled with the annoying ringing of my alarm clock. I slammed my hand down on the top of it and rolled myself out of my small bed. Walking towards the bathroom, I raised my arms above me and stretched, letting out a sigh. After showering and brushing my teeth, I quickly rushed into my work clothes and ran out the door.

My name is Haruhi Fujioka and I'm currently 23 years old, I just graduated from the college of my dreams and am now a low-level assistant to a lawyer for the time being.

Haruhi slammed the door to her run down Honda and drove to work, opting out of her usual breakfast bar.

It's been 5 years since she's talked to anyone in the Host Club... Simply put they were all too busy to hang out ever, then again she was too. Now they're all big shots and no "commoners" could have any chance getting into contact with any of them, especially since she had moved to a different city for her new job.

Gazing down at her now buzzing phone, she sighed at the caller ID. It was her boss, Aoi Harimaki. Haruhi slammed a hand down on the speaker button.
"Yes? What is it, I'm driving."
He chuckled. "As pleasant as ever I see, Fujioka."

"Skip the small talk. What do you need?" She did not have time for his usual care free attitude so early in the morning.
"Nothing~ Well, I don't at least"
"Don't talk in riddles. Get to the point"
He let out a sharp chuckle. "Alright then. A man named "Tamaki Suoh" called for you and asked that you immediately contact him. Thought you'd like to know ASAP."
Her eyes widened and her fingers curled tightly around the steering wheel. Supposedly he had been married off and now lives in France…

"Did he leave a number?"
He huffed, "Yeah. You want it now or when you get into the office?"
Her brows furrowed and she shook her head as if he could see her.
"Nah, I'll call him after work. Thanks"
"No prob. By the way, you're running a bit thin on time there."
You could just hear his smirk through the phone. Rolling her eyes she said,
"I'm pulling up now. Please, unbunch your panties before I see something we both regret."
He laughed out loud at that and hung up.


I fell back into my bed with a groan of the springs beneath me. I really need a new bed. It had been a long, boring day at work and I was just ready to relax.

Grabbing my pillow I curled up into a ball and tried to fall asleep. I was almost there before I suddenly remembered about Tamaki.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out the paper as I reached for my cell. I pushed in the numbers and waited for it to ring. It connected after about 4 rings.

"Bonjour? Comment vous t'appelle?" (Hello? What is your name?)
Startled I managed to utter out my name.
"Uh um... J-je m'appelle Haruhi." (My name is Haruhi)
"Un moment" (One moment)

She laid back into the pillows and shut her eyes as she listened to the calming "on hold" music. Suddenly there was a click and she instantly regretted holding the phone so close to her ear.

"Haruhi!" I hear Tamaki all but yell.
"Ugh don't be so loud. It's late and I'm tired. What did you try to contact me for senpai?"
I could hear him squeal in happiness in being called senpai by me again.
"Oh that, I just wanted to talk to you again!"
His amount of joy was nearly sickening. I sighed.
"How have you been Tamaki? I heard you got married."
He nearly whined over the phone.

"Yes yes I did buuuut she's no fun and she hates playing commoner games with me."
"This is a waste of time. Goodnight senpai."
"Wha-No wait! I'm sorry I actually have something very important to talk to you about, I just don't want to do it over the phone."
"Well too bad. What's so wrong that you needed to contact me and have me spend a fortune on long distance calls?"
He laughed. "Same as ever I see. Sorry it's a secret for now. But I'll be at your place tomorrow at 8pm to discuss this okay? G'night Haru!"
"Wait how do you know where I live?"

He had hung up it was no use. I'd just have to blame Kyoya. He always seemed to know where I was. Deciding she needed sleep, she laid back and figured she'd have time to worry about it tomorrow.


So... How was it? Don't hate me! I'm not too great at this but I'll try my best at it! R&R if you liked it and want me to write more, also, would you guys want the story to be more focused on her job or her relationship with Tamaki? I can't decide. Au revoir!
