A/N: So hey! This is my first fanfiction that I've posted on here! (Done it before on other websites and such.)
But this is my first one for Ouran High School Host Club, and forgive me if I mess up grammar-wise. Not a native speaker of English.
Soulmates, a term used by anyone and everyone.
When you turn sixteen, that's when you start waiting. Most say that'd be extremely too young to know who your soulmate is, I mean, how could a sixteen year old possibly know enough about love to determine who their soulmate is?
This is a universal thing though, it's out of our control. Some say it's a path paved by the gods to the one who would be your best mate.
It's a simple and yet complex thing. One day, you're you, then the next you wake up in a totally different body: the one of your soulmate. The only way to be returned to your normal body is with a kiss. Haruhi found that somewhat funny.
It is June 22nd, 123 days since Haruhi Fujioka's sixteenth birthday, and one day since Hikaru and Kaoru's sixteenth birthdays.
She was different than most in the fact that she didn't care when it happened. She knew her soulmate is a good person, unlike other paranoid people who believed the worst. If she were meant to be with someone, then they couldn't be horrible, and she knew that. And as long as she were to see them, then it wouldn't matter when it happened.
Haruhi didn't care what gender they might be, what color hair they might have, how tall they are.
She knows that however is hers is brilliant on the inside; isn't that what matters?
Your name is Haruhi Fujioka, and something has gone terribly wrong.
You look over to your side, seeing Kaoru sleeping soundly next to you. Fortunately you are a rather calm person, so you just sat there with your mouth gaping (looking like a fish out of water) and wondering how the hell you got into this situation. The last thing you did was go to sleep in YOUR OWN bed, right?
There was no way any drugs could be involved, in fact you would be quite perturbed if they were. That would mean someone sneaked something into something you ate/drank and the only people you've been around recently are the Host Club.
Before any more thoughts of potential betrayal fluttered through your mind, Kaoru stretched right next to you while letting out a tired groan. It was then that you finally got the mind to look under the blanket at your clothing to see if there was any clothing on you.
Although when you lifted the blanket, the fact that you didn't have a shirt on startled you. To add to that fact, you didn't have breasts anymore and you had abs.
This was turning out to be an interesting day.
"Hikaru?" I heard mumbled next to me. I jumped and slowly turned to face Kaoru, who probably was wondering why his twin was gazing at his body in wonder. "You okay, man?" He said and narrowed his eyes.
"I'm perfect! Why would you even consider that I am not. I feel betrayed." You spit out quickly, wincing internally about how guilty that sounded.
He gave you a deadpan look, his mouth open and you could almost see the gears turn in his head as he tried to decipher the weird behavior in his dear brother. He shook his head to himself as if to tell himself "Too tired, must rest before pursuing any intelligent thought."
All he said was "Why are you up so early?" and you froze. You'd heard stories of people still having their own voice while inside of their soulmate, and even though you knew it was impossible due to the fact that your vocal cords don't just change, you couldn't help but be fearful.
"I just- Um- Fuck."
It was safe to say you were lost for words, but hey, at least it was Hikaru's voice.
Kaoru's eyes widened just a little, and then returned to their previous narrowed state. "Well if you're going to be a bitch then leave the bed, some of us need sleep." He then turned back to lay on his side, facing away from you.
You smiled and covered your mouth, unable to keep yourself from shaking with laughter. No matter how weird it was finding out that Hikaru was your soulmate, it didn't stop you from laughing at the way Kaoru was treating him this morning. Normally whenever you see them, they're caught up in the whole "I don't want anyone touching you" or "If I ever hurt you I'd never forgive myself" thing that they use to entertain the girls.
So seeing Kaoru call Hikaru a bitch was pretty fucking entertaining. Even if the victim of his harsh words was in fact you, it didn't matter because he didn't know that.
Walking to the bathroom, you picked up your phone (Hikaru's phone) from his nightstand and opened it. You weren't surprised when you saw no new messages. If Kaoru didn't like being up at this time, then it was safe to assume Hikaru probably didn't either. You then caught sight of yourself (Hikaru) in the mirror.
Red hair pointed everywhere, as if it was accusing every side of the room of something terrible. You bit your lip as you looked at the thin body that still seemed to have abs; they may not have been busting out like professional body-builders, but they were still very attractive you noted.
You blushed as you realized that this was a complete invasion of privacy.
Your face turned crimson as you thought of how Hikaru probably wouldn't mind looking at your body as he was in it, unlike you.
"Shitshitshitshitshit" you thought and looked back to Hikaru's phone still in your hand, going to your own contact and pressing the call button.
The dial tone kept ringing through the small speakers of the phone, you getting more irritated as it kept going on and on, until finally you heard your own voice saying to leave a message and to call you back. Do I really sound like that? You thought absentmindedly and tried to shove the phone into a pocket that wasn't there as you finally realized that Hikaru sleeps in only hs boxers. You let out a small squeak as you realized Holy shit. I can see his bulge. You covered your mouth, and yeah, you needed to be returned to your own body fast.
"Kaoru?" You called out as you walked out of the bathroom, hunched in on yourself and eyes wide.
You heard the irritated groan of "What the fuck is it now?" from Kaoru. Well, you shouldn't have expected anything different.
"It's actually very weird seeing you out of your whole 'Oh Hikaru~' act for once."
It was then that you saw Kaoru's body tense up and he slowly turned around to face you with wide eyes. "Wait... Oh my fucking god; is Hikaru's soulmate one of our clients?" He nearly shouted, obviously terrified of the idea of a fangirl hanging around his brother (and essentially him) for the rest of his life.
You laughed. Quite loudly as well. Just the sheer terror and anger that had been laid out in his voice was really entertaining.
Kaoru (now standing up) was looking at you with a mix of curiosity and... fear?
You sighed. "I've already tried calling Hikaru - or I guess me - but he isn't awake yet. He obviously shares your sleeping patterns."
Kaoru raises an eyebrow, but doesn't spit out anymore insults. He only says "Well I wouldn't blame him for not being awake, or any other human being, it's like six in the morning."
"Yeah because school is gonna start soon and in case you didn't realize, it's kind of mandatory for us to go." Your lips formed a scowl as you said "If he makes me, or just my body, late for school then he's gonna pay."
The twins that serve the Hitachiins came in then froze in the middle of saying "Wake u-" They weren't prepared to see their employers already up and about.
"Out." Kaoru said and they obeyed without question. Although you could almost feel the curiosity flying off them in waves.
You then stand on your tip toes. "I'm a giant." Knowing you sounded stupid and nearly like a child, your ears turned a bright red from embarrassment. You smile to yourself and Kaoru smirks and rolls his eyes.
"Don't get used to it kid, we're gonna get you in your own body soon." He walks by and messes up your hair even more than it already is.
You frown and say "Hey! I'm older than you!" while following him to the wardrobe that he was pulling things out of to wear.
His smirk grew wider as he pointed and jokingly said "We got a cougar!" Your blush feels like it's visible from miles away.
"Only a few months.." You say and hide your hands under your arms.
"So," Kaoru speaks up after both of you choosing clothes and putting them on. "Who are you?"
You chuckle and say "I'm just gonna let you figure that ou-"
"You're Haruhi aren't you?" He interrupts with a grin.
You glare at him. "You could have at least humored me and pretended not to know." You say as you shift your weight to the other side of your (Hikaru's) body. You sigh "Is this weird?" and your nose wrinkles up.
His shoulders are shaking and you know he's trying not to burst out laughing. "I mean..." He says, looking away and gaining his composure. "I knew when you turned sixteen that if you were to end up with anyone you knew then it'd probably be, one:" He held up one finger - as if you didn't know what the number one meant. "my brother; Hikaru, or two:" He held up another. "Tamaki."
You giggled at the thought of being paired up with him. "I'm glad it was the former then." You say smiling.
"I wasn't finished." He whined, drawing out the 'sh' sound in finished. "Well since Tamaki was already 16, I figured if it were him it would've happened at least before our birthday. So the closer it got to our birthday, the more I thought it was gonna be Hikaru."
You pat him on the head (and you don't have to get on your toes!) and say "Smart boy!" in a tone someone would usually talk to a dog with.
He pouted, but you knew that he was proud of his speculation. So you gave him a small smile.
"I'm gonna call my brother. He should get up about now." Kaoru said and pulled out his phone from the pocket of his Ouran Highschool uniform.
He called twice, and on the last ring of the second one he finally picked up the phone. "Hello." Came Haruhi's tired voice through the phone. Followed by a pause and a whisper of "I sound weird today..."
Kaoru chuckled to himself. "Finding anything... Out of the ordinary today?"
Your name is Hikaru Hitachiin, and you don't know what exactly in the fuck is going on.
You swear that's Kaoru's voice, but shouldn't he be right next to you? Turning around and finding nothing, your eyes widen and clutch the phone tightly. You didn't recognize the sheets or covers spread out over you. They looked cheap, unlike your special comforter and sheets that commoners would die for just to spend a night in its downy embrace.
You heard a groaned complaint on the other side of the phone, probably the owner of said room. You concluded that your soulmate was whoever this commoner was. You were surprised that you weren't displeased at the fact your soulmate was a commoner. Probably because of Haruhi.. You think with a smile on your face.
Next, you feel incredibly guilty for smiling while thinking of Haruhi. What would your soulmate think?
Liking people is extremely taboo. (Although coming from someone who pretends to be 'in love' with his brother, you're one to talk) You're taught from a young age not to like someone, because it's considered 'cheating' on your future mate. It's usually naïve fools who start liking someone in a way other than friendly or family-like. That would be Tamaki. And you would fall under the category of I just couldn't help it!
As much as you love thinking about your liking of Haruhi (note the sarcasm) you needed to figure out what your soulmate looked like. You turned your head to look for a mirror and talked into the phone currently held to your ear. "Hey, soulmate, know where I can find a mirror?"
"Open the very left drawer in the dresser, there's a handheld mirror there. And can you please explain to my father what's happening since you're probably going to be late." By the way their voice said it, it wasn't a question, it was a command. And did your voice really sound like that?
"Thank you, little miss sunshine." You say back as you get up off the bed quickly. She's short... You noted as you glanced around. It seemed... strangely familiar. You shrugged it off and went to the very left drawer. While walking there you realized that it was really weird walking with boobs after not having them all your life. Even if they weren't double D's, it still was a change. And even though you crinkled your nose thinking about it, not having a dick felt very weird when you'd had one your entire life.
You really wanted back in your own body.
But first, you had to get that mirror and see who the hell the universe wants you to spend the rest of your life with. Pulling out the drawer, you started feeling really nervous. What if it was a fangirl from Ouran? You had already seen the uniform hung up on the doorknob to the room, so what if it was one of your clients? Just the thought made your stomach turn over. I'd run away. You decided.
Okay, that may have been a little dramatic, but you really did not want your soulmate to be a fangirl.
Picking up the mirror, your fear seemed to be forever growing.
When you caught sight of yourself in the mirror, your jaw dropped and your eyes widened.
You would have never expected chocolate-brown eyes to be looking back at you.
Grinning, you realized you might just be the fangirl in this situation.
A/N: Should I say what I was listening to when I was writing this? If you want to know, its Life Howls by Rib.
It's an amazing song, i recommend.
Well yes! Reviews would be very much appreciated! (There will be another part to this, just saying.)
