Blade Luna was a quiet girl. She had the third highest grades in her class, exelled in art and writing, and while she was the first chair in violin she was also the only one in the entire school to play orcirina. She was the girl no one saw and she was content to stay like that, but as we all know, life rarely allows us contemptment for long. You see for all her qualities she had a major downfall. She didnt believe in herself. Luna hated her black hair so she cept it cut boyishly short. She despised her ivy white skin, loathed her liquid silver eyes. However the thing she hated most was her voice. You see Luna was not raised in a normal home, with a careing mother and father. No she had been dropped of at the last of the great shrines. The shrine of the moon. She was found without so much as a note so the high priest had given her, her name. She would sing to the men and wemon who worked there and they would say the very night shined threw her smoth notes. Then the raid had come. A group of men had desided that the old shrine was an eye sore, and perhapse if they had been thinking more, hadn't been so drunk, they would have realised that burning it all down ment killing everyone inside. Everyone but the teenage girl who had fell asleep beneath the cherryblossoms in the clearing just north. The same girl who smelled the smoke and ran to find her home gone. She hated her voice the most simply because it reminded her of them. After that the family of one of the shrine maidens, a wonderful transvestite named Ryoji or Ranka as he had insisted on being called the many times they had met, stepped up and took Luna under his wing. She and Haruhi got along wonderfuly and they both got excepted into Ouran Private School.
"I can't beleive they misspelled your name." Luna chuckled as Haruhi shook her head in exaberation. It was true, the school had filed her as Blade Luka instead of Luna and while Haruhi had been downright sstupified at how such a simple name had been messed up Luna had taken it with a smile. "Come on, let see if we can find the library." the burnette sighed. By the time Haruhi sat down they had indeed found four libraries yet none of them where close to quiet. "one more try then I give up." Haruhi nodded once with determination before standing again and walking toward a quieter hall. Soon she came to a door marked music room three and when she heard no noise from inside she opened her door. "Welcome!" both of them jumped at the voice's. "Oh wow, there both guys." the two red haired twins spoke at the same time. Fallowed by a dark haired boy in glasses "Hikaru, Kouru, I believe these young men are in the same class as you, are they not?" Both of Luna and Haruhi looked at each other closer. With the large sweaters, messy hair and glasses both where wearing they could see why they where mistaken for boys. "Oh, that wasn't very polite. Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Students." Before Haruhi could saw anything the tall blond that had been observing them stepped forward. "What? You must be Haruhi Fujioka and Blade Luka. You're the exceptional honor students we've heard about." Haruhi stepped back. "How do you now our name's?" "Why you're infamous. It's not every day that a commoner gains entrance into our academy. You must have an audaciuos nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into this school as an honor student, Mr. Fujioka. As for you Mr. Blade, it must have been very hard to get your musical scalorship."His glasses flashed in a way that made Luna nervous and she inched behind Haruhi, who widened her step to cover the shyer girl better.
"Well ah-thank you I guess." "Your welcome. You are a hero to other poor people, Fujioka. you've showm the world that even a poor person can excel at an elite private academy. It must be hard for you to constantly be looked down apon by others." Luna had stopped paying attention until a soft tug at her sleve told her that someone wanted her attention and looking down she found the a small blond. "Why are you hiding?" he asked with the slightest tilt to his head and Luna smiled softly before looking around nervously. The boy seemed to understan her silence. "It's o.k. You don't have to be nervous, you can come sit with Takashi and I." She nodded and allowed herself to be lead to a set of sofas that held a tall dark haired man. "The dark hair man looked up and after a second of looking at her he pet her head and smiled before handing her a cup of warm tea as the shortest of the group disapeared. The sound of shattering glass made her jump and she whipped around in time to see Haruhi on the floor. Quickly she set down her tea and ran to her friend. "Awww." the sound of the twins had both of them looking up. "We were going to put that Renaissance vase in an upcoming school auction." one of them said "Oh, now you've done it commoner. The bidding on that vase was supposed to start at eight million yen." the other continued. "What, eight million yen? How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in eight million? I'm gonna have to pay you back." Haruhi was rambling as Luna helped her up. "With what money? You can't even afford a school uniform." Luna frowned, after all they where right. "What's with the grubby outfit you've got on anyway?" she sighed they didn't have to take it that far. "Well, what do you think we should do Tamaki?" the tall blond, Tamaki, thought for a second. "There's a famous saying you may have heard, Fojioka. When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do. Since you have no money, you can pay with your body. That means, starting today, you're the host club's dog, and since Blade is here he can help you pay off your dept as well." Haruhi froze and Luna had to hold back her laugh when Honey began pokeing her.
The next day was very hectic, between music class running over and the freak out everyone had about instant coffee Luna was suprised when Honey all but dragged her from where she was polishing the tea cups to sit between him and Mori. The tall man ruffled her hair and handed him a piece of cake which she ate slowly. "Hey. I need those!" Haruhi's yell was enough to have her looking over. Then the room was a whirlwind of motion. Hikaru, and Kaoru dissapeared, fallowed shortly by Mori. Kyoya was talking on his phone. the only normal-ish one was Honey, who after a order from Tamaki came back to sit with her looking regected. Luna acted out of instinct as she brushed his hair back, making him look up, when he did she gently poked his nose. it did the trick and he gave her a wide smile before a thoughtful look came over him. "Can I take your glasses off Lu-chan?" suprised by the shortened name Luna leaned down and let the older boy slip the thick reading glasses of his face. it wasn't like he had to wear them anyway it was just easier to keep track of them that way. Honey dropped the glasses in shock. The glasses broke and he had tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry Lu-chan!" the he cried catching the attention of the other hosts just as Haruhi was shoved behind a curtain. Luna dropped to her knees and slid the oversided sweater over her head to reveal a tight black v-neck nit top. her chest was bound and flat because she found it more comfortable. She cupped his chin with one hand, lifting it high enough so he could see her smile before dabbing at his tear lined face with the clothes she had removed. When she was done she put the pieces of the broken glass in the sweater before standing and throwing it in the trash only to be captured by two arms. "Another hidden rose?" they said to themselves as she was pushed into Haruhi's changing room.
Haruhi was done first and she looked back once before she left, only to give a sad smile that Luna didn't understand. Finally she was done and Luna was set free from the hair dressers. Desiding to forgo the overcoat and loosen her tie ever so slightly she stepped out from behind the curtain only to find the room had grow silent in a second. "wow..." Honey was the one to break the spell that had fallen over the hosts and Luna was swung into a hug by Tamaki. "Luka my son, you look wonderful." Haruhi sighed "we really need to get that fixed..." her mumbled was overhead by the twins who asked her what she ment while Luna struggled to get out of Tamaki's arms. At the same time that she was lifted from the constant spinning and pressed against a hard, toned chest protectivly there voices sounded. "He's a girl!" they yelled. Tamaki looked at the two confused before Haruhi explained and Mori set me down, luckily on the other side of himself where Honey climbed up to rest against her hip and play with her hair. "There was a spelling mistake on the paperwork. Her name's Blade Luna not Luka." Tamaki fainted. As it was desided they would host to pay off there dept. The next day they went to class and both where kidnapped needlessly by Hikaru and Kaoru. Tamaki tried to give them both lessons on 'how to be a gentalman' but in the end they where both left to do there own thing. Haruhi sat with a group of girls who talked to her while Luna walked around a bit. "I see. Your mother was sick and passed away ten years ago. Who does the chores around the house?" Haruhi smiled softly. "Oh, Luka's a big help, he keeps the house clean and helps me shop. i do the cooking, my mother taught me. She was an amazing cook. And when she went to the hospital, she left me all kinds of great recipes. It was fun to create each dish, especially when they turned out well. And it made me happy to see Luka and my dad enjoy it. I've had a hard childhood, but dad and I have managed to make it through okay. Luka and I have become brothers in the time I've known him so now I can't think of trying to do it alone."
The girls had tears in there eyes and Luna walked behind Haruhi to give her shoulder a soft squeeze. "Wait, does that mean that Luka's not alway lived with you?" Luka's hand tightened just the slightest and he stared out the window while Haruhi answered. "Luka's an orphan who was dropped outside a temple. The people there took care of her and raised her as there own. My aunt on my mothers side was one of them. I remember going to visit and he'd be helping the adults with the chores, or in the fields reading. They truely loved him...but the town they lived in was adapting to the times, some of the men thought the old temple didn't belong there. About two years ago the entire place was burned to the ground because of some drunks that weren't thinking. No one survived but Luka who had fallen asleep in the field reading. He smelled smoke and ran to the temple but it was to late." Luna's body was shaking and she held to Haruhi's jacket like a life line, her knuckles white as she wrinkled the lilac cloth at her friends shoulder. Her eye's where clenched shut as the memories washed over her. "Dad was called because he was listed as the next of kin for my aunt, she had sighed the papers after mom died, and he asked if there where any survivers. They told him about Luka and he refused to let him go anywhere but with him. When he told me what was going on that night we set up a pallet in my room and met Luka at the airport the next day." Luka turned and forced a smile before she bowed and walked away swiftly. "I'm sorry." one of the girls siad as she rubbed at her watering eyes. "Luka's always been like that. The respectful type. It came as part of being raise in the temple, but since the fire he's barely said a word, at least where anyone cam hear him. His orcarina is never far from hand and when he plays it, it's almost like looking into the past."
Haruhi watched as Luna walked out of the room, catching Kyoya's understanding eye before she left. "I thought she played the violin?" Haruhi turned back to the three girls. "She does but its not the same, she doesn't play it with half as much heart as she does the orcarina, not since she stopped singing." the conversation continued until Luna came back inside, her eyes still slightly red, and Haruhi was called over to meet Princess Ayanokoji. "Hey, what happened to my bag?" Luna looked around only to realise that her bag was missing as well. They split up to look and while Haruhi forund hers in the pond Luna's was tangled into the branches of a tree and her prized poseshion, her polished white, posilin, orcarina was set in a birds nest even higher up, surounded by baby chicks and luckily still in its case. The branches where far to week to climb so she was stuck trying to reach them both by jumping. She was stooped by a farmillar hand atop her head and when she peeked up at who it was, Mori was already working to pull down her things. "Are you alright Lu-chan?" Honey asked and she nodded. He smiled at her, letting Mori lift him in the air to snag the orcarina case before handing it over to her carefully. "Here ya go! You got to be more careful silly!" she ran her fingers threw his hair until she was cupping his cheek with her palm. putting the slightest bit of pressure there before dropping her hand and turning to squeeze Mori's arm with a smile. "Luna." the giant said only her name but just as he had know that he had thanked him, she knew he was saying it wasn't needed. "Lu!" Haruhi's voice drifted over the hedge maze and with a was Luna left the two older boys.
When she finally found her both her and Tamaki wher wet and when Haruhi saw the questioning look she pointed to the pond. "It was in the water, what about yours?" Luna pointed to a tree and Haruhi rolled her eyes. "I figured. Come on the market on the way home is having a sale." with a wave they said goodbye to Tamaki they both left. "Oh really, that must have been terrible. I can't imagine what i'd do if my bag fell into the pond, or got tangled in a tree, oh heaven forbid." Haruhi and Luna shared a look that was equal parts confused and disbeleiveing. "And you actually made Tamaki search that dirty old pond with you. How astonishing. You do realize he's a blue blood, not a commoner, right? Did he help you as well Blade-san?" Luka shook his head and motioned with his hand to Mori. "I see. The only reason either of them is paying attention to you is because they're trying to turn you into a gentlemen. Don't start thinking they care about you just because they're doting on you." It took all but a second for them to put the pieces in place. "Now I understand. You're jealous of us." Ayanokoji reacted faster then both girls combined. She lept up and grabbed them by the front of there shirts and pulled them down as she fell back. "No, Haruhi, Luka, leave me alone! Somebody, help! They just attacked me! Someone, do something! Teach these commoners a lesson!" Stunned Haruhi hovered over Ayanokoji while Luna had landed hard on her left side. "Why did you do that?" Tamaki asked as he came to stand beside the downed three. "Do something, Tamaki. They just assaulted me." water was dumped over there heads by the twins. "I'm disappointed in you. You threw Haruhi's bag into the pond, and Luka's into the tree, didn't you?" Ayanokoji was quick to try an cover her actions. "You don't know that. Do you have any proof that I did?" Tamaki just shook his head as the twins help Haruhi stand and Mori grabbed Luna's had to pull her up. "You know, you're a beautiful girl. But you aren't classy enough to be our guest, dear. If there's one thing I know, Haruhi is not that kind of a man, and niether is Luka."
Ayanokoji stormed out and while the dept was increased they two couldn't find it in themselves to be mad. Kyoya handed Haruhi a bag filled with a spare uniform, the only one, so Luna changed into her gym clothes. She had planned to go to the gym that was one the way to the apartment but desided she's had enough exitment for the day. Of course that was when the universe desided to throw another twist in the form of Tamaki walking in on them while they where changing. Now mind you Haruhi had only remover her dress shirt, and had her pink undershirt on, and Luna had already changed into her loose black shitabaki and a tight white tank top, but the red faced idiot quickly shut the curtain. When they appeared again haruhi was in a girls uniform and Luna had slipped a white sash around her waist and a black half jacked, a lotus stitched on the right breast, around her shoulders. "So, you're a girl too?" Tamaki asked Haruhi nodded "Biologically speaking, yeah. Listen, sempai, I don't really care whethr you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl. In my opinion, it's more important for a person to be recognized for who they are rather than for what sex they are." While the two talked Luna made her way over and gathered her things. "Well, isn't this an interesting development." The twins nodded alongside him. "Oh yeah." They said. "Now I could be wrong, but i think we may be witnessing the beginnings of love here." Luna looked over to where the two where talking, Tamaki complaining about Haruhi taking his guests. She was suprised when her bag was handed to her by Mori. "If Haruhi's the Natural Type, then what are you Lu-chan?" I knew he was asking himself more than anyone else but after a second of silence Mori responded. "The Lost Type." Luna didn't know what it meant but Kyoya looked her up and down. "Lost Type hmm, I think it fits. Nice work Mori-Sempai." Luna smiled softly. Her lift was never going to be just content again, she knew it in her heart.
