First Anime Fanfic so bare with me here. It's not the average Host Club/Fruits Basket crossover so Haruhi is not a secret Sohma but a distant relative of the Honda's on her father's side. Although she is not effected by the Sohma curse, I am still debating on whether her mother's side of the family will have a curse of some kind and what type. Opinions and ideas are always accepted in comments and PM's but will not always be used. If I can figure out how I will make a poll on my page asking who Haruhi will be paired up with. Possibilities are: Hatsuharu, Shigure, Yuki, or Hatori. Votes will also be accepted through comments (and harem votes are perfectly fine because who doesn't love a good harem?) Anyways, Please enjoy the story and if you would like to beta please PM me!
Chapter 1
Host Club
"I already told you where I was going for my summer you rich bastards!"
It was the day before her first summer vacation at Ouran University and after the day's activities, Haruhi's Senpais and friends had hounded her with questions about how she was spending her summer this year. As usual each offered to take her to separate exotic and fairly expensive locations that she had kindly turned down for her own humble vacation. Her vacation this year was to visit her distant cousin Tohru whom she had not seen since they were both four years old. She was very excited and was determined to go alone and not drag the whole Host club along every step of the way.
"But Haruhi!" Tamaki, who was now in his second year of University, screeched, falling to the ground in exaggerated agony, a habit he had not gotten rid of in three years. "My daughter can't go see family alone! The Host Club must accompany you like the true gentlemen we are!" He stood up with newly found vigor and rushed to the door. "Lets go Haruhi! Your family is waiting."
Haruhi's anger was boiling inside of her as she let her hair fall in front of her eyes and a dark aura that even Nekozawa-Senpai would be proud of resonated off of her small body. "That is enough, Tamaki-Senpai." She spoke just barely holding her anger inside. "I will be traveling alone to where my cousin is staying and you," She extends her index finger in the direction of his face, "will do whatever you were planning to do before you heard of my trip." Every Host Club member could feel the darkness surrounding their favorite brunette except for one.
"But Haruhi!" The oblivious, tall blonde whined. "I planned on spending the summer with you!"
At that point Haruhi could stand no more of Tamaki's complaining. "Shut it Senpai!" She screamed causing an eerie silence to fall over the room. "I am going to my cousin Tohru's house alone. You are not coming, the Host Club is not coming," She sent a glare Kyoya's way causing him to flinch, "and my father is not coming. Tohru got special permission from the head of the family she is staying with to allow me, and only me, to come and stay with her this month. I will not be breaking any of his rules, as Akito Sohma is a very strict man." Kyoya widened his eyes at the name of the head, but hid the action quickly behind the glare of his glasses. "Now, I have a flight in two hours that I do not intend to miss. Goodbye." With that comment, Haruhi made her way across the room, opened the door, and slammed it behind her.
The Host Club stared at the door for a few moments in silence, still processing the outburst that came from their usually understanding female host. "You've really done it now, boss." The Hitachiin twins said in unison, coming up to Tamaki, Hikaru on the right and Kaoru on the left.
"Even I wouldn't mess with her now." Kaoru said putting his hands behind his head in a laid back gesture.
"At least not for a week." Hikaru said smirking.
Kyoya pushed his glasses up, resulting in another glare to come off of them. "I agree that it would be in the Host Club's best judgment to stay away from Haruhi for at least a week. Even so, it is worrisome that she will be staying with the Sohma's considering the rumors that have circulated around them in the past and the present."
At that moment, Tamaki came out of his trance and hurried to Kyoya's side. "What do you mean 'rumors'?"
Honey had also become worried at this statement and tears began to fill his eyes as Mori put him on his shoulders. "Will Haru-Chan be alright?"
Kyoya looked down at his notes and, sighing, spoke in a complete monotone. "I'm sure Haruhi will be completely fine as long as she stays away from Akito. He has acquired quite a bad name when handling people whether they are family or business partners. The rest of the family, although more of a mystery than him, should be fine." The other members let out a sigh of relief at that fact and remained silent until Kyoya spoke once again. "As all matters have been discussed and resolved, I now call this meeting to an end." With that they all picked up their stuff and left to their separate houses.

"Do you think Haru-Chan will be alright, Takashi?" Honey asked in his usual childlike fashion.
Mori thought about the notions Kyoya had made during the meeting after host club activities and came to the conclusion that Haruhi had the good sense to stay away from those who would hurt her. Then again, the incident at the beach four years former to this day was not a good example of his prediction. He schooled his face into one void of emotion and replied with a low, "Yes."
Honey frowned knowing what his cousin was thinking and climbed onto his shoulders from his earlier position next to him. "At least she can defend herself because of the lessons she been taking from us. She's learned a lot these last three years and could probably beat some of the top martial artists in Japan by now. "
Mori hummed in agreement to the small blonde's comment with his lips twitching upward when he remembered her flipping one of the black belts in the Martial Arts Club onto his back, effectively knocking him out.

Hikaru sat dejectedly in the limo taking him and his identical red headed twin home to their estate. He stared out the window with a slightly bored expression thinking about how the summer would be no fun without his favorite toy to play with day after day like he has been doing for the last year they've all been in University together. Kaoru noticed his brother's sorry state and scooted closer to him on the leather, bench-like seat. He took Hikaru's hand into his own and squeezed it softly to let him know that he would not be alone in this insufferable boredom that would take over them for as long as their Haruhi was gone. Although Kaoru did not love Haruhi in the same way as his brother, he still cared for her in a brother-like fashion and would be both worried and bored without her by his side where he can play with and watch over her. Hikaru leaned his head on his twin's shoulder and sighed. "It's no fun without her anymore."
Kaoru stroked his brother's hair and relaxed. "I know, but we only have to deal with it for a little while. Soon we will have her back and hopefully she will still be ours."
Hikaru scrunched up his nose at the previous comment but could not deny that he was thinking that Haruhi's heart would be taken away from them while staying with her cousin and the Sohmas as well. He had heard of them with their 'almost unnaturally beautiful' looks and 'attractive charisma' and knew that there was a chance, although slight, that their kind Haruhi could fall for them. "I won't give her up that easily." He said with a frown.
"I know, Hikaru."
