Shadow: Hello little duckies and bunnies. That's right. You're all ducks and bunnies. I have been in a loop with all my other stories and this is just the ticket to help me get my creative juices going. I'd like to give full credit towards otogii, for having inspired this pretty awesome idea. I hope the rest of you are as pumped! So, please enjoy.
Btw, this takes place after the Cell Games, at the time where Gohan was supposed to attend Orange High School. See the notes at the bottom too!

Chapter 1: The Start
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEee… The sound of a blaring alarm clock was quickly flying out the window and off to the distance. The reason for its sudden flight was because of a teenage boy. Gohan groaned and sat up in his bed. This was not the best way to start his day… at the untold hours of the mornings. He didn't look at his alarm clock before he chucked it out to the sky. Either way, it was early.
His little brother Goten, who was a striking mini-version of their father, came bouncing in to the room. "Wake up, Gohan! Let's play!" Goten jumped up and down around the room, including on the bed, bouncing Gohan lightly.
"GOHAN! BREAKFAST IS READY!" Gohan's mom, Chi-Chi, yelled from the kitchen.
"YEAH! Food! Food! Food!" Goten got off the bed and bolted out of Gohan's room.
"YOU BETTER BUY A NEW ALARM CLOCK TONIGHT OR YOU WON'T GET TO GO TRAIN!" Chi-Chi yelled once more before she turned her attention to the small Goten.
Gohan pushed his blankets off and made his bed on habit with some agility before heading to the kitchen as well to eat a giant balanced breakfast. At least there was breakfast. Twenty-five bowls of rice, some fruit, and three tall glasses of orange juice is a nice light breakfast.
"Okay! Done eating! Let's go play, Gohan!" Goten jumped off his chair and started running outside.
"I can't play until this evening, Goten. I got to go to school." Gohan felt bad for making his younger brother sad. "But I promise that we'll have a spar when I get back." He could feel his mother's glare on the back of his head. "I just have to swing by Bulma's on the way home to get a new alarm clock." He could feel the glare leave.
This seemed to cheer up Goten. "Can you bring Trunks back with you? Can he spar with us?" Trunks was Goten's best friend. They were always sparing with each other and having fun.
"As long as it's okay with mom and Bulma. Now I got to get ready." Gohan got up and went to take a shower before school. The place had a uniform… Only Chi-Chi would pick out such a school that had a strict protocol.
After a quick shower, he began to get dressed. The uniform consisted of black shoes, black dress pants, a white button-up shirt, black tie, and light blue jacket with the school emblem on the front. As he buttoned up the shirt, he remembered how this whole school thing was brought on to him…
-Last Week-
Gohan punched and kicked left and right, withstanding the force of a thousand times Earth's normal gravity. Energy beams were flying all around him, as he constantly moved to dodge each one to challenge his agility and flexibility.
Left. Right. Down. Left. Left.
The energy beams drew closer and closer until… Gohan's strength after five hours finally began to waver, and he moved the wrong way. A large energy blast slammed in to his back, knocking him hard in to the floor.
The room Gohan was in slowly turned the gravity back down to normal conditions, and the other energy beams disappeared. It was programmed to shut off after the individual got hit, or after 7 hours. Gohan stood up and winced. The energy blasts were set at their highest setting. He went over to the control panel and picked up a small brown pouch, pulling out a sensu bean.
Those were magnificent beans, a great refresher after training or a long battle. They restored all your energy with a single bean. Gohan powered down the machine and left the portable sphere room. Outside stood his little brother, waiting with rare patience.
"Hey Goten. What's up?" Gohan asked, draping a towel over his muscled shoulders.
"Mom said that dinner is ready and we're not starting until you get home." He said simply.
Of course. Goten was thinking with his stomach. "Alright, alright. Come on. Let's eat." Gohan picked up his little brother and propped him up on his shoulders.
They both went home, and could smell the practical banquet of supper wafting out through the door. Gohan's stomach growled loudly, making Goten laugh. Gohan went inside and set his brother down. He was not permitted to go to the table right away. Chi-Chi ordered him to go have a shower to get the sweat off his body.
Goten pouted, knowing that'd he'd still have to wait. Thankfully, he didn't have to wait long since Gohan made sure to have a quick shower.
The giant towers of food that were placed on the table were instantly attacked by the two boys quickly went down after a few minutes. Chi-Chi was proud that her boys had a healthy appetite, but she didn't eat with so much gusto.
And so, she spoke up. "Gohan, do you remember those tests I've had you fill out?"
Gohan swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking. "I do. A lot of that was what I covered years ago. Why?"
"Those were entrance exams to the best schools aound, and I have enrolled you in the one that I saw was best. You need an early start to make friends and find a wife so that I can have grandchildren. Plus at the school, you can finally have a real scholarship! There is no better school that the Ouran High School, and I just got word today that you've been accepted." She put her hand up before Gohan could comment. "You are going to school and that is final! The year class starts on Monday so you will be able to focus more on your studies than your training." Chi-Chi took up the empty plates and bowls and started loading them in to the sink.
Gohan's mouth opened and closed repeatedly. What about training? Why did he have to go to a high school? His mom taught him so much that he finally thought that he'd be done with studying.
"Your uniform should be here before the end of the week. Now remember to make lots of lady friends so that you can find a proper wife." Chi-Chi added, taking the half empty bowl in front of Gohan.
-End Flashback-
Gohan sighed. He was forced to tell Vegeta that his bi-weekly training spars would be cut, and that he would be attending a private high school. That conversation went 'well' after Vegeta was done ranting and the phone was picked up by Bulma. She sort of understood…
Fixing his tie and grabbing his bag, he went back out.
Chi-Chi looked at her son and smiled, tears brimming in her eyes. "Oh my little Gohan… You're the picture perfection of an honor student about to receive a scholar…" she took up a handkerchief and dabbed her eyes.
"Mom…" Gohan looked down at his feet.
Chi-Chi went from proud mother to mother-in-charge. "Now, Gohan. Remember. Don't let people see you fly, hold back your power, don't get in to fights, and remember to make friends."
"Yes mom. I better get going then." Gohan went out the door. "See you later, Goten!"
"Don't get that uniform dirty either!" Chi-Chi yelled to Gohan as he took flight to the sky.
Gohan sighed as the air rushed past him. It was always peaceful up in the sky, and there was always something different to see. He was going in to a different province area, so at his speed it took him about 15 minutes of human-flight, where it would be… a good six hours by vehicle to get from his home to the school.
He would have taken the nimbus cloud but Goten would probably want to use it today to keep himself entertained, or if he wanted to go see Trunks.
Time just seemed to fly by so much faster when you're in the sky. It wasn't that long before Gohan saw the area where his school was supposed to be. There were a lot of large lots but this was a different part of Japan, so this was propably more upper class. Making sure that the vehicles and pedestrians were down to a minimum, he went down in to an alley way a few blocks away.
It would be better to walk up to there than just land in. He was a new student after all and besides, he was going to keep his teenage-hood as normal as possible for Chi-Chi's sake. As he walked he wondered if he should bring an extra set of clothes with him in case he needed to run out for something.
A bunch of vehicles passed him, all either dark or light colored. It took a few moments for Gohan to realize that they were all limousines.
"Huh, that's a lot of limos. Must be a celebrity party or something." Gohan muttered to himself. As he looked ahead, realizing that he was getting closer to the school, all the limousines were turning in to the school lot.
He looked through the gate to the school and his jaw fell. "This is the school?!" It had to be since all the people who stepped out of the backs of the limos wore either similar uniforms as him or wore long yellow dresses. Everyone seemed so… so regal.
A fountain was in the middle of the courtyard, with a statue that had an… interesting pose. There were flowers, trees, and well kept grass everywhere! The school itself seemed more like a mansion than anything.
Gohan's shoulder's slumped as he sighed. "What has mom gotten me in to…?"
A boy in a similar uniform as his, seemingly his age but a great difference shorter with brown hair and brown eyes walked by him through the gate towards the school, carrying his bag and a few books in his arm.
"Uh, excuse me?" Gohan spoke up. He just had to make sure. "This is Ouran High School, right?"
The boy turned and looked at him. "Yeah. This is the school. First year?"
"Y-yeah. I didn't think a school would be like this." Gohan rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"It's a bit different, I agree, but the classes are tougher than your average school. Do you know your homeroom?" He was polite.
"Oh, its 2-A I believe." Gohan said, remembering that his mom told him so the other day.
"Your first year here and you've been put to the second year." He put his hand to his chin for a moment in thought. "Well, 2-A is my homeroom as well. I'll show you the way."
Gohan smiled. "Thanks! I really appreciate it. I'm Son Gohan. What's your name?" Gohan started to walk with the guy.
"Fujioka Haruhi. It's nice to meet you Gohan." Haruhi gave a small smile. "Just follow me."
Gohan followed Haruhi in to the building and looked around the fancy decorating. This school was definitely once someone's home… Someone who had a lot of western rich taste. Gohan did his best to memorize which way Haruhi was leading him.
They arrived at the room, where some students were already there, talking or getting settled in to their desks.
"Thanks for showing me the way, Haruhi." Gohan said appreciatively.
"Hey Haruhi!" a duet of voices called ahead of him. Gohan looked up to see two guys, identical twins about his height walking towards them. Each had light copper, slightly messed hair, and yellow-golden eyes. They spoke in unison. "This guy bothering you? We can take care of him outside." They punched their fists.
"Guys, he's new. I was just showing him the way to the homeroom here." Haruhi said plainly as he headed to his desk.
"Oh." Their tough demeanor fell and they turned to a more mischievous yet protective outlook. "So who are you?"
Gohan blinked. "Oh, I'm Son Gohan. Nice to meet you two." Gohan smiled. He was making acquaintances, and that was the first start to making friends.
"The Son family, huh. I've never heard of them." The one of the left spoke.
"Where are you from?" The one of the right spoke.
"I'm from the Central East country." Gohan said.
They blinked then got bored expressions. "That's a far ways off to come to this school…" The right one spoke.
"Ya, it's definitely a long ways off." The left one agreed.
Gohan couldn't help but smile at the twins. "My mom and little brother would get a kick out of you two."
They smirked, and began speaking in unison again. "Of course, for we are the Hitachiin Brothers!" They did a pose together.
"The one on the left is Kaoru. The one on the right is Hikaru." Haruhi said plainly as he set his beg on his desk.
The two boys flinched. "Haruhi! He's supposed to figure that out on his own." Hikaru said.
"Yeah! What about our game?" Kaoru pouted.
"You can try again later."
The two boys pouted. But regained their composure. They both went to their seats, which were on either side of Haruhi. Gohan looked around and sat in the seat in front of Haruhi.
Looking over his shoulder, he looked at Haruhi. "So… what is this school all about anyway? Why is it so… fancy?"
"It's a school for a bunch of rich people." Haruhi said. "You either earn your way in or buy your way in."
"Ah. So I guess my grades were good enough to get in." Gohan shrugged. "I didn't even know that I was going to come to this school until last week." Or any school at all, Gohan thought, but kept that to himself.
Haruhi looked up at him. "So you didn't buy your way in?"
Gohan shook his head. "No, my mom had me do an application test a while back and she told me I got in. She wants me to get a scholarship and all that."
"So… that would make you a commoner?" Hikaru asked from Haruhi's left side.
"Uh, ya. I guess so." Gohan answered.
"Another commoner, Haruhi! Now you won't feel so alone in the world." Kaoru teased from Haruhi's right.
"Damn rich people…" Haruhi glared at the twins.
Gohan smiled. He had that little feeling that today was going to be better than he thought.
The morning passed by pretty quick, with a quick introduction of Gohan and getting straight down to studies. Lunch came around and most of the students got up to head to the cafeteria. Gohan had his usual large breakfast and his Saiyan appetite wouldn't kick in again until after school. Besides, he didn't really see the need to scare these rich kids with his eating style…
Gohan got up from his desk and went over to the window to look outside. The place was beautiful- a bit more extravagant than what he's seen, but still. It made him nervous to be around all these expensive objects, because he didn't want to break anything.
"Hey Gohan." The twins called from behind him. "Where's your lunch?"
Turning to look at them, he replied, "Oh I had a big breakfast so I'm good."
The twins looked at each other. "Suit yourself. Haruhi, come to lunch with us." Their unison act was so natural, it made Gohan think of how Trunks and Goten would sometimes complain to their mom's at the same time.
"No. I brought my own lunch." Haruhi brought out his own bento lunch box and set it on his desk.
"You always bring your own." The twins sighed.
"Come on, we'll even buy you lunch." Hikaru tried to persuade him.
"We know that you like a few things there." Kaoru nodded.
"No." Haruhi unwrapped his box and started eating, ignoring the twins.
"I'll just go look around then. See you after lunch." Gohan excused himself as he let the twins continue to try to persuade Haruhi.
Getting outside to the garden, or field, or whatever the grounds were called, Gohan noticed a maze of roses. He could go in there and train… No, that wouldn't be good. He'd damage some of the roses and someone would notice.
"Oh look, isn't that the new student?" a young girl said behind him.
"Yeah! He's so broad, he must have strong muscles. I hear he got in to the second year." Another girl spoke in a hushed tone.
"He's gorgeous." A third girl spoke.
Gohan could feel his neck up turn red like a tomato. The only girls he hung out with were his mom and Bulma, and they never talked like that. Gohan walked fast-paced in to the maze, hoping to have a tactful retreat. To his dismay he could hear the girls following him, and from the footsteps, there were more than just the three he heard.
He was almost running to get away from the girls, and came to a dead-end in the maze. He could hear the girls closing in on him. He looked around at the building and made sure that no one was around. He jumped and cleared the tall bush and landed on the grass outside of the maze. He sighed in relief as he began walking back towards the school doors.
"That was a pretty good jump!" a young voice called.
Gohan stiffened and looked around. He saw two guys off by a tree. One of them was tall, taller than him eve, a serious face, short dark hair, and dark eyes. On his shoulders sat a small young boy with blond hair and brown eyes, a curious cute expression, and held a pink stuff rabbit in his arms.
"Uh…" Gohan didn't really know what to say.
"I used to jump over the walls too to make it in time for snacks." The blond one, the same one who spoke before said with a big smile on his face.
Gohan breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that high afterall. "Yeah, I was getting chased and came to a dead end."
"I've never seen you around before. Have you, Takashi?" he asked the guy that he sat on the shoulders of.
"No." The guy replied simply. He brought his arms up and lifted the boy off his shoulders and set him down on the ground.
"I'm Haninozuka Mitsukuni! But you can call me 'Honey'!" He smiled. Gohan could almost see little flowers surrounding him. "This is Morinozuka Takashi, but everyone calls him 'Mori'." The tall guy nodded in greeting. "Are you a first year here?"
"Well, actually this is my first year at this school but I'm in second year. I'm Son Gohan. It's nice to meet you."
"Second year? Wow! You must be pretty good then! Takashi and I are in fourth year." Honey smiled.
Gohan smiled. "Then I should call you both 'sempai' then, Honey-sempai, Mori-sempai."
"Oh! This is Usa-chan!" Honey held up his pink toy rabbit.
Gohan laughed a little. This guy was older than him yet embraced his apparent cuteness. "Hello Usa-chan. It's nice to meet you too."
"Hey, you should come by Music Room 3 later and have cake with us! Then you can meet our other friends too." Honey said.
"Mitsukuni." Mori said in a tone that Gohan didn't know whether to call brotherly or protective.
"I'm sure the other's won't mind, Takashi." He smiled up at the tall guy. "Okay? Come by Music Room 3 later!" Honey waved and walked off with Takashi following behind him.
"Music Room 3, huh? I'll check it out before I head home then." With that Gohan resumed his way back in to the school, avoiding the lost girls.
In the classroom, the twins were gone but Haruhi remained. Gohan greeted Haruhi and took his seat again, pulling out his note book that he took notes with. He didn't really read his book, but he was focusing on the different energies that he encountered with the people so far. Haruhi for example had a calm white-like aura, not very much energy but it was different from everyone. The twins had different auras. In his mind's eye, Hikaru had a pink-ish aura and Kaoru had a blue-ish aura. Honey had a strong aura around him so Gohan felt that Honey did some martial arts or something, though the aura was laced with a similar feeling to Goten's. Mori had a strong aura too, but it was calmer then Haruhi's, so he must have had training and is just good-natured.
Gohan realized that a tone sounded that meant that lunch was over. He put his notebook away and looked around to see the twins had just come in, and they were both wearing hats.
They had grins on their faces. "It's time to play: Which one is Hikaru!" They announced. They went up to Gohan and stood on either side of his desk. "If you can guess which one of us is Hikaru you'll win."
Haruhi sighed behind Gohan. "Here they go again…" he muttered.
Gohan looked between the two. The one with the pinkish aura was on the left. He pointed to the twin on the left. "You're Hikaru." The twins blinked. Shock was written on their eyes. "Am I right?"
Haruhi spoke up. "You are."
"How did you know?" Kaoru asked.
Gohan shrugged. "My gut-feelings are usually right."
The twins didn't say any more and took off their hats, taking their seats. Gohan was a bit confused but didn't think anything of it. The class went on without a hitch and at last the day was drawing to a close. He packed up his homework and went on the search to find that music room that Honey mentioned.
It took him a while to locate the room but he found it. He briefly wondered if Honey's offer was genuine, but figured he'd find that out in a moment. He took hold of the door handle and opened the door.
Immediately he was greeted with the scent of roses. The first thing he saw was a group of boys posing in a practiced position.
"Welcome!" they all greeted.
Gohan was confused. There was Honey and Mori, just as they said they'd be. But there was also Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru. There were two more guys there that he didn't recognize. One had light blond hair with purple eyes, with an easy going look on his face. He stood a bit taller than the twins but still shorter than Mori. The other guy stood around the same height as the blond, had dark combed hair, and glasses over dark grey eyes, and an expression of 'knowing'.
"Uh, hi?"
"Ah! Gohan!" Honey ran up to him. "Come in, come in!" he took Gohan's hand and pulled him in.
"Oh it's the new guy in our homeroom." The twins stated.
"Ah so you've been invited to our club our infamous Honey." The other blond came forward. "Welcome to the Host Club, the place where we entertain woman who have too much time on their hands. I am the president of this club, Suou Tamaki." He greeted Gohan.
"Son Gohan, age 16, home-schooled up until this year having applied to Ouran, and has been accepted in to second year due to his exceptional results." The one with glasses read from a black notebook.
"That is Ootori Kyoya. He keeps our club up and running." Tamaki said with a charming smile.
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you." Gohan bowed a little.
"You know… I was just thinking that with it being a new year and all, that we could have another person try out the fabulousness of that of being a host." Tamaki said thoughtfully. "So, Gohan, what is your 'special item'?"
"Special item? What do you mean?" Gohan knew he was special. But he knew better than to go all 'super human' in front of people he hardly knew.
"A 'special item' is what type of person you are. For instance, Kyoya here is the 'cool type' for the ladies, always calm and collected despite not personally entertaining women himself. Hikaru and Kaoru are the 'little devil types' accompanied with their 'brotherly love'. Honey is the 'boy Lolita' with his child-like adorable appeal. Mori is the 'strong, silent type', appealing to our guests by his care towards Honey. I, myself, am considered to be the 'prince type' for the women who are our customers. And lastly, Haruhi here is the 'natural rookie', for when Haruhi joined, the ladies took an instant liking without any need to audition."
"Wow. That's a pretty good variety." Gohan nodded. "So… I guess I would be… the 'nice, helpful type'?" he guessed. He wasn't exactly sure since he had a few different sides to him, depending on the situation.
"Gohan jumped over a rose bush wall! Say, do you do martial arts?" Honey asked.
"Yeah, I'm pretty good. But my dad is better. You do martial arts too, Honey-sempai?" Gohan asked.
"I do! But I have to say that I definitely like cake and cute things more." To emphasize that, Honey hugged his Usa-chan closer to him.
"I'd like to see how good you are one day, Honey-sempai. Would you be interested in a friendly spar?" Gohan would hold himself back of course, but it would be fun if Honey was really good.
"He's a dead man." The twins said dead-panned. "Nice knowing you, Gohan. We'll bring flowers to your funeral."
"Honey-sempai is really good at what he does." Haruhi stated. "He trained the elite police force."
"I would like to have a spar with you, Gohan! As long as Usa-chan can watch." Honey was still smiling.
"Of course! Depending on where we spar, perhaps Usa-chan can watch with my little brother." Gohan smiled.
"Yay! Come have some cake!" Honey took Gohan's hand again and pulled him to a table off to the side.
"It seems that Honey has taken a liking to Gohan." Haruhi said to Tamaki.
"Yes, I say that we should give him a chance to see how we entertain our customers, and see if he can handle it or not. What do you think, dear?" Tamaki looked to Kyoya, the deemed 'mother' of the group.
"If he gets requested at least once, we'll give him a try." Kyoya was writing in his notebook.
"Okay." Tamaki nodded.
Gohan accepted only one piece of cake, while Honey was going through a whole cake. Gohan hardly seemed affected by Honey's eating style. The entire group was watching them.
"Alright! It's time to get started." Tamaki announced. "Hikaru! Kaoru!"
"Sir!" they saluted in a serous-mock fashion.
"You two will show Gohan what it is that we do. Today is our regular theme! Let's go!" Tamaki turned and went out the door, and everyone followed suit.
"Okay, Mr. Gut-feeling. Just watch and learn." The twins led Gohan down to the hall where their lounge entertainment area was set up.
Gohan followed them without question, just wondering what he's getting in to.
Shadow: So what do you think? I am going to be doing my best to tie in the events that happen in Dragon Ball Z, and as you can see, it's a new school year. I am going by the Ouran anime, not the manga for reasons that its easier to describe things. Now, as far as pairings go, I know there are a lot of Haruhi/Hikaru fans, and a lot of Haruhi/Tamaki fans. I'll just play on what I saw, and I will bring Videl in somehow… not exactly sure how yet but I'll think of something and I'm open to suggestions.
I do realize that these are basically different worlds but this is a crossover so this could be considered an Alternate Universe. At Ouran, since it is a high-class society, there will be no dog-men or demon-alien-like creatures, but they will be in the city where Capsule Corp is. I'll do my best to gradually have it blend together nicely and, with luck, logically.
Remember, reviews are nice and always optional. I would love suggestions for Host Club themes!
