Chapter one:
I sighed staring out the window. I looked over to my two best friends. One wore a beanie and had brown hair, and green eyes. My other friend also had brown hair but one of her eyes were blue and the other blue green. The students around us really didn't matter, as Class one-A was more busy with the up coming holiday, Easter.
"Atori, Kyoko, Tifa, are you coming to help again today?" Some one walked up to my green eyed friend, Atori.
"Sure, Haruhi." Atori smiled.
Haruhi smiled in gratitude, "Thanks guys."
All three of us smiled back at her.
Atori Meku: 5'0" short brown hair at least went down to her shoulders, a black beanie on her head, and green eyes that seemed to hide how evil she really can be.
Tifa Takahashi: 5'5" Longish brown hair, a blue eye and a blue green eye, she could intimidate people just for fun if she wanted.
And me: Kyoko Hitomi: I have longer hair than Atori but shorter than Tifa, and it's black, I have blue eyes that- for some reason- tend to change shades depending on my mood.
We started at Ouran in our third year of middle school. Our families are rich, and us three decided to transfer to Ouran together, though we decided against the uniforms.
The bell rang telling the students school is over.
"Come on." Haruhi said.
We know Haruhi is a girl, and we're going to keep it secret, just for her. We entered the third music room. A blond "idiot" bounce in front of us.
"Princesses you're back!" Tamaki, the King, cried.
I growled, "Tamaki don't call me a princess."
I hated being called that, it makes me feel like I'm weak. I looked over to Atori and Tifa, they shook in anger, apparently they don't like that word either.
"Let's hurry up and set up, what's today's theme?" Atori asked.
"Today we're doing Karaoke!" Tamaki smiled.
"Wha-" Haruhi went wide-eyed, "I can't sing."
Tamaki thought, "Well this is going to be hard."
Atori and Tifa smiled, I sighed knowing what they were going to do.
"Kyoko can fill in for her!" Atori exclaimed.
I waved my hands in front of me, "No."
Kyouya looked at me, "Can you sing?"
"Yes she can, she'll say no but she can." Tifa smiled.
"Lies, thats what they are, lies." I stated.
"Kyoko if you don't sing, I'll make sure the school knows you're a wuss." Kyouya smirked.
I slumped a little, "Fine. . .I'll do it."
I guess it couldn't hurt to sing with the guys. Since Haruhi can't sing, I'll just make her pay for it later!
"What do we have to sing?" I asked helping them bring out the Karaoke machine.
"Well, Mata Ashita, the twins are singing their famous song Bokura no Love Style, and we wanted Haruhi to sing something but we forgot she can't sing, the song was, Lollipop."
"Hell no I'm not going to sing that song." I complained.
Two red heads came up behind me, "We have a song you can sing."
I turned around, "And that is?"
"Sakura Kiss." Kaoru, the nicer twin, said.
"Fine." I told them.
Tamaki's face brightened. All the Hosts-- except Haruhi-- got a microphone, Hikaru handed me one.
"Thank you." I took it from him.
Atori, Tifa, and Haruhi set up chairs for the girls, whom were to come at any minute. I shivered, unsure if I should really do this. Haruhi noticed and came up to me.
"Kyoko you're going to do fine, I've heard you sing before." She said.
I looked at her in shock, "You've heard me?"
"Yeah, you were walking down the hall one day and I was behind you." Haruhi told me.
"I thought I was alone." I stated.
Haruhi smiled at me and walked away. I stood next to the Hitachiin twins. They looked at me and smirked.
"We didn't know-" Kaoru started.
"You sing." Hikaru finished.
"I do it on my own time." I told them as girls started pouring into the room.
The girls whispered about me, I shrugged it off as Tamaki started talking.
"Ladies Today we are doing Karaoke for you and after we do our three songs, you may come up and sing. Our first song is going to be sung by the twins." Tamaki bowed as the rest of us moved out of the way.
Hikaru and Kaoru walked in front of the girls. Tamaki pressed the play button and the music started.
Hikaru started singing, "Kimi no miteru me no mae, hoka no ko to no oshaberi
Oh no, no, no
Waza to misetsukeru no wa, shite hoshikute yakimochi
Oh yes, yes, yes.
My darling please, ai ni wa
My darling please, sukoshi no
Shougai aru to, motto moeagaru mono."
Both sang into the chorus. The two danced to the beat before Kaoru started to sing.
"Sukoshi yarisugita kana, maji de okoraseta kana
Oh no, no, no
Dakishimete ageru kara, nakanaori wo shiyou yo
Oh yes, yes, yes
My darling please, kizuna wa
My darling please, fuan wo
Norikoete koso, tsuyoku fukaku naru mono."
The twins finished the song ending in the chorus.
The girls screamed at the end of the song, I had to plug my ears to block out the screams. Tamaki gracefully walked to the front of the girls to introduce the next song.
"Mata Ashita will be out next song." Tamaki looked at us to go up there.
Tamaki looked at me to say me part.
"When I opened the door, there was-" I said.
Atori then played the music. Tamaki started singing.
"We're always here waiting for you, so if something's troubling you, let us hear about it"
The twins joined in, "Even your sad face (don't worry), which was crying earlier (soon), Look, we can change it to a smile before you know it."
Hunny bounced in, "Changed it to a smile!"
The Hosts' were getting in to the song and I joined in, "See you tomorrow! So we can see you smiling So like a cloud floating in the perfectly clear blue sky Bask in the light of day with all your might, and start walking With me."
"Nice." Tamaki stated.
"Isn't this fun!" I laughed.
"So this is a commoner song." Tamaki said.
I rolled my eyes. I wasn't a commoner, but then again he thought Haruhi would be singing.
"You might laugh like it's a trivial joke But we just always want to see your happy face."
"Even with downpour and storm clouds (don't worry) looming over us until now (soon) Look, we can laugh it off and keep walking."
Mori looked at Hunny, "Is something wrong, Mitsukuni?"
Hunny laughed, "Just keep walking."
"See you tomorrow! So we can see you smiling, So we'll never forget the warmth from when we joined hand-to-hand in a circle, start walking with me."
We started singing the chorus, "See you tomorrow! So we can see you smiling So like a cloud floating in the perfectly clear blue sky Bask in the light of day with all your might, and start walking
See you tomorrow! So we can see you smiling So we'll never forget the warmth from when we joined hand-to-hand in a circle, start walking."
"Senpai." I called.
Tamaki yelled, "Hey you guys, get away from Kyoko!"
The twins laughed hugging me, "No way!"
"This is fun!" Hunny smiled.
"You guys. . "Kyouya shook his head.
"Kyoko-chan!" Hunny called.
"Geeze!" I sighed.
Kyouya shrugged, "Oh, well."
Tamaki sang trying to hug me, "Kyoko~"
I dodged, "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow! So we can see you smiling So like a cloud floating in the perfectly clear blue sky Bask in the light of day with all your might, and start walking With me."
The song ended and I panted, man that was a rush! The host club looked at me and smiled, Tifa, Atori and Haruhi were on the side and they gave me thumbs up. I smiled slightly at them. Tamaki stated loudly.
"We were going to have Haruhi sing us a song, but- his throat hurts." Tamaki lied.
Haruhi glared at Tamaki as he went on to say, "So we asked Kyoko-chan if she would do the honor of singing a song for us and she kindly accepted."
The girls glared at me, I heard one whisper, 'She better not ruin Tamaki's Karaoke day.' I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath. I looked over at Atori and nodded. She pressed the play button.
"KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE!" I tapped my foot to the beat.
"HEY! HEY! HEY!" The girls in the audience were shocked.
"It's plain to see when I'm with you, My heart almost skips a beat. What is this thing I feel, Could it be paranoia?
I'm so oblivious to love, But what else could this feeling be? Ready or not I know in my heart It doesn't matter.
It's so clear to me now. You're always on my mind. Could it be that you're the one? MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!
I need you here with me, So I can give you my best SAKURA KISS And if your heart moves from it It's meant to be!
So I won't worry now, I know that my future is Safe in your hands, Love is in the sweet air!
Let it blossom, We'll see what happens WITH US!
MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!"
I ended the song, thinking that I did good, not like I wanted, but good. I looked over at the Hosts' ,well the guys, and Hunny, Hikaru, Kaoru, and Tamaki's jaws were dropped. I shrugged, Atori exploded with happiness.
"Kyo that was just awesome!" She complimented.
"Okay." I shrugged.
"This is what you get out of a child when the mother is a singer." Kyouya said told the confused men.
"Eh, I'm not as good as her." I told them.
The crowd clapped during their conversation. Tamaki then asked if any lovely lady would want to come up to sing. Oh boy they almost killed each other trying to get up there. The rest of the hosts went to the 'front' of the music room and sat on the couch, Atori, Tifa, and I followed them. Tamaki stayed with the ladies who were singing. I think a few were tone- deaf.
I sat down next to Hikaru and sighed. Atori sat next to Kaoru since it was the only open spot on that couch. Tifa sat on the other couch in between Kyouya and Haruhi. Mori and Hunny sat at a table, Hunny was drowning himself in cake, as always.
"Kyo, you did really good." Haruhi told me.
"My mom says I could improve." I told her.
She looked at me like I was crazy, " You're kidding. I think you're really good."
"Thanks." I gave her a smile.
"You actually surprised Kaoru and me." Hikaru said.
I looked up at him being shorter. I raised a brow.
"Kaoru and I thought you wouldn't be the type to sing, and if you did you'd be horrible." Hikaru went on.
"Thanks Hikaru, you always raise my spirits." I shook my head.
"What you should take that as a compliment, who knows when the next one will come." Hikaru stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Oh Hikaru, I'll keep it close to my heart just cause you said it." I held my hands over my heart, and dramatized what I said.
Kaoru laughed a little, Hikaru eyed me and rolled his eyes and looked away. He smiled and ruffled my hair, I growled and looked away.
He was the first guy friend I made here. After two days of knowing-finally talking to the twins this year- I could tell them apart, Atori could do the same, Tifa though took longer. She wasn't to interested in the twins, she thought their pranks were funny though. Atori and I call Tifa the shadow queen, it wasn't fun making her mad. She got along pretty good with Kyouya, even outside of school, which scared the whole club because the two could possibly make evil plans.
I fixed my hair, and huffed and laughed at myself.
Though when I first met the twins they wouldn't talk to anyone, so Atori, Tifa, and I left them alone. One day they asked us to play 'Which one is Hikaru?" game, and I went off on them. I told them that we couldn't possibly figure out who is who just by looking at them right away, that it would take time to figure out who is who, and that we would have to get to know them. Then slowly they came out of their shell, then Haruhi came and they became even more outgoing, and they started to talk to us, and we've been friends since.
A girl singing missed her pitch and went a little to high, I flinched. Hikaru beside me cringed. When is this Hell going to end?
-The host club is now closed-
We hurried and packed up all the chairs, and put away the Karaoke machine.
"Thank god it's over, my ears are bleeding still." I complained.
Tifa laughed at me and Atori jumped on my back.
"We should stop for ice cream." She said.
I made her get off, and said, "That sounds so good right now, but I have to get home soon, my mom came back today and I don't know when she has to leave again."
"Aww, Hikaru, Kaoru you wanna get ice cream with me?" Atori asked.
Hikaru looked over at me and Kaoru spoke, "Sure I guess. Hikaru do you want to go?"
Hikaru turned his attention to his brother, "Yeah why not, see you Kyoko!"
Atori left with the twins. Tifa looked at me.
"Is your mom really coming back today?" She asked.
"Yeah, she told me she would, it's been half a year." I smiled.
"What about your dad?" She asked.
"He's always home, you know that."
"Hows his work going I mean."
"Haven't you seen it onT.V.?" I asked.
"Yeah, I watched it last night, man it's seriously popular and it's only the third episode, and also being the owner of the Hitomi business." Tifa trailed off.
Kyouya walked up, writing in his book. Tifa watched him walk up.
"I'd better get home." I told her grabbing my book bag out from the back room.
I walked out of the third music room, and down those stairs and out the entrance of the school. I looked up, the sky was mixed with colors of yellow, pink, and blue, and I looked at the setting sun, that was getting ready to wake up the other side of the earth. My limo was sitting outside the gate and my driver, Sato, was waiting for me with my door opened. I smile and got into the limo.
"How was your day, Miss Kyoko?" He asked after he got into the driver seat.
"As everyday, except I had to sing." I told him.
I could telling he was smiling, "It's about time you showed that school you have talent, did the twins react to it?"
I laughed, "They didn't expect me to be a singer."
"I'm telling you., Kyoko, you should show the hosts you home life."
"Nah, Kyouya-senpai can tell them."
Sato turned around a corner. He chuckled.
"You're to mysterious."
"I like it that way." I told him.
He pulled into the Hitomi driveway.
I ran inside after he cut off the engine, in a hurry to see my mom. I ran through the entrance, the hall, and the kitchen, up the stairs to the family. I pulled open the door, to find. . . . .

I'm stopping there. Tell me what you think. Is it better than my other OHSHC fic? Oh the sakura kiss song was sung by Christina Vee, check her out, i think her translation is great!
