A/N: Sorry, I forgot to add my author's note. This is the story I've written on Quizilla but never finished. I thought about it for a while and decided to post this on Fanfiction since this is part of my Ouran series: Opposites Attract. "Brains vs. Brawns" is the second part of the series with KyoyaxOC as the main focus, which it is on here. The last one will be MorixOC as my last one (didn't start it yet so there's no title). I did do some changing in this prologue but it's only the small stuff, so it will look like nothing has changed at all. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this story on here and I may change some things if I felt the need to. Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or anything that does not belong to me. Spoilers: May or may not contain them at all.

Prologue

"Sakuno? Sakuno is that you?" A familiar voice rang in my ears behind me. I turned around to see who it was; and to my surprise, it was my childhood friend, Haruhi Fujioka.

That was the start of how I met my childhood friend again and her peculiar friends from the Ouran Host Club.

"Sakuno!" I felt a bear hug behind me. I turned around and looked down to see Honey looking at me with a wide smile on his face. I smiled back and nodded.

"Afternoon, Honey." I told him as then a shadow came up to us and I looked up to see Mori. "Ah, Mori. Good afternoon."

"Hn." He replied while I nodded back to greet him.

"What cha doing here, Sakuno? Don't you go to school?" Honey asked; I shook my head in reply.

"It's the start of my school's break today." I told him, feeling uncomfortable now since he was still hugging me. As if Mori read my mind, he picked up Honey and let him sit on his shoulders.

"Cool! So you'll be coming to the Host Club more often?" Honey asked as I laughed.

"Aren't there security guards around here? I can't always follow Haruhi to this school all the time. And don't forget, unlike Haruhi, I don't attend this school and I'm just a commoner," I told him. Honey shook his head but smiled happily.

"Neh, neh, Sakuno. There were a lot of people that come here by accident, so don't worry about it." Honey said reassuringly while I smiled and then looked over at Mori.

"Yes, it's true. Don't mind it." Mori spoke as I was pretty surprised. He never spoke more than one sentence, well, not that I know of.

"Ah, even so…" I began before Haruhi cut in to speak for me, in which, I'm glad for.

"Sakuno is quite busy. She's getting ready for a karate competition."

I nodded that it was true and then I saw Honey's face lit up.

"Neh, neh, Sakuno. Can we come to see you compete?" Honey asked. I chuckled a bit but shook my head 'no'. "Neh? Why not?"

"Surely, someone like you will distract me. You're the only one that pops out more than anyone," I told him before Honey started looking down. I was completely startled by the reaction.

"Hn." Mori replied.

"But I want to see you compete." Honey muttered. I came up to him and put my finger under his chin before lifting his chin up to meet my gaze.

"A good luck would do, Honey. That's all I ask," I thoughtfully told him. He grinned widely and nodded.

Girls started swarming in as it was my cue to leave. Honey saw this as he frowned again. I patted his head softly and smiled at him. He looked up at me.

"Good luck with your hosting, Honey." I told him and then looked over at Mori. "You too, Mori."

Mori nodded in response.

"Neh, Sakuno. Why don't you stay? I'll be your host, and we will have fun and eat lots of cake. I'll let you hold Usa-chan. Please?" Honey asked using his cute puppy eyed look at me. I chuckled at his child-like nature.

"I'm not a student here though," I told him as suddenly Tamaki came by swirling towards us. I sighed at this. I wasn't used to flamboyant guys like Tamaki, but somehow, he was a good match with the lukewarm Haruhi.

"Oh, but we happily open our arms to you. You are a guest to us, so please stay." Tamaki said as he was about hold both of my hands and use his princely charms on me. Thankfully, Mori pulled him away before I used one of those wrestling techniques on him like I usually do.

"Tamaki-senpai, you know that Sakuno doesn't like to be touched by men without permission." Haruhi lectured him as he was crying in the corner.

"But… but, Honey was able to hug her. Why can't I?" He asked before sighing once again.

"That's because Honey-senpai is a Loli-shota. If it was any other type of guy, she won't show mercy," Haruhi told him straight to the point which I turned my head towards Honey. He didn't seem at all offended. Better yet, he seemed fine with it.

When he saw me looking at him, his smile turned bigger towards me. I blushed at that moment and turned away.

"But why is she afraid of guys like us touching her?" Tamaki asked, striking a nerve inside me. I could feel myself shaking at the thought of what happened to me.

"Neh, neh, Sakuno, are you okay?" Honey asked worriedly. I looked at him and gave him a fake smile.

"Y- yeah, I'm okay. W- well, I'd better get going. Bye," I said hurriedly and left the room.

Honey's P.O.V.

I watched Sakuno, noticing she shivered after Tamaki-chan asked that question. I frowned and got off of Mori, walking towards her with worry.

"Neh, neh, Sakuno, are you okay," I asked as she flashed me a fake smile.

"Y- yeah, I'm okay. W- well, I'd better get going. Bye," she said and hurried off out of the room.

I frowned again while I watched her walk away. Something must've happened to her to be like this and I knew it must have involved anything that Tamaki had asked before she left. I was getting more worried about her, so I walked over to Haruhi and asked about Sakuno.

"Neh, neh, Haru-chan. What happened to Sakuno?" I asked as Haruhi's cute big eyes turned serious and cold. I regretted ever asking.

"Even though Sakuno never answered her question, I have no right to answer as well. The only thing I can tell you is that she started to train herself after an incident." Haru-chan said and then continued with her solemn face, "Even I don't want to be reminded of that time. Her eyes were empty, and… she almost…"

Tears started running down Haruhi's face before Tama-chan immediately comforted her and I stopped asking as well. Even when I wanted to know more, I was afraid to ask. Those looks weren't worth it. Not at all.

A few days later, Sakuno never came to the Host club. Sometimes, I wonder if it was because of Tama-chan's question, but Haruhi reassured us it wasn't. Instead, Sakuno was busying herself for her upcoming karate competition.

I wanted to really go, but she didn't want me to, which made me really sad. Takashi told me that she has her reasons for me not coming which made me unhappy even more. Somehow, cakes seemed to be very tasteless when she wasn't here to meet us. The door to our host club suddenly opened and I looked up. We were already in our position to greet the guests that came here. It was Haruhi who entered. I looked behind her excitedly, hoping Sakuno was with her. But to my dismay, she wasn't.

"Hm?" Haruhi sounded as I looked over at her. She smiled as she showed us tickets.

"What are those," Tama-chan asked before he came over to her and held her like usual.

"If you let me go Tamaki-senpai, I would be able to tell you," she told him. Tama-chan finally let go of her.

"These are tickets for Sakuno's karate competition. She tried her best to get them for us," she told us, giving each of us a ticket except me. My eager expression changed quickly to a dismayed one.

"I'm sorry, Honey-senpai. She only gave me five tickets to give only to Tamaki-senpai, Kyoya-senpai, Mori-senpai, Kaoru-san, and Hikaru-san," Haruhi apologized as I frowned in the inside.

Does Sakuno hate me? I thought.

"Eh, why so sad?" My eyes lightened up when I heard Sakuno. I no longer cared about the tickets if only I was able to see her.

"Sakuno!" I yelled happily as I jumped and grabbed her, making her almost fall on the ground. All the while, I smiled at her.

"Wow, you seem pretty excited." Sakuno said before I quickly nodded.

"I missed you, Sakuno," I told her as she laughed.

"I see. Well, here you go." She took out a ticket for me. My eyes widened as I slowly took the ticket from her hand. I looked at it as if I saw the most delicious cake in the world. She suddenly got up, and I looked up at her.

"Well, I think I'm going to stay at the host club for today, if you don't mind," she told us as my eyes lit up even more. I held her hand in response.

"Yay! I get to eat cake with Sakuno!" I yelled happily as the cakes seemed to taste sweeter than it normally did. This time I hosted only to Sakuno. Her smile is what I cherished the most like the first time I met her.

We were positioning ourselves, ready to greet our guests that would come in. Haruhi seemed very late than usual, but she finally came in even though she wasn't the only one that entered. A girl with black medium-length hair and dark brown eyes came in. Her bangs were long enough to hide one of her eyes. The new girl looked around, confused, and then our eyes met. She smiled at me and I blushed. Something about her smile was very sweet to me. She then revert her eyes towards looking around the club again.

"You're late, Haruhi!" Tamaki yelled but flew towards her and hugged her. He finally noticed the girl beside her and then held her hands, but she suddenly threw him. The twins clapped and laughed.

"Oh, I forgot to greet my friend. This is Sakuno Horikita. Ah, she doesn't like to be touched by men." Haru-chan explained as I looked over at Sakuno-chan when she cleared her throat.

"So… this is the host club?" Sakuno-chan asked as Haruhi-chan sighed and nodded. She suddenly laughed, and we all looked at her confused. She was laughing so hard that she had to clutch her stomach. She tried to breathe again and then chuckled a bit before she seemed to finally finish.

"I'm sorry. I just can't believe Haruhi got into this kind of situation. Never knew she would be this clumsy," she told us. Haruhi grunted and crossed her arms. "Aw, don't be like that, Haruhi. It's a good thing though. By the looks of things, you've made some good friends. You usually don't like to make more than three friends. But as a host, from what you said, you've made plenty of friends."

"Haruhi, you've forgotten to greet us to her." Kyo-chan said as Haruhi looked at us.

"I thought it would be better if you greeted yourselves," Haru-chan said with a shrug cutely. This made Tamaki hug her again and saying quietly to her how cute she looked.

"Even though Haruhi greeted me already, I wanted to greet myself properly. My name is Sakuno Horikita. Nice to meet you all," she greeted, bowing her head and then looking up at us. My eyes sparkled. I was the first to greet myself to her.

"I'm Honey!" I ran towards her and showed her Usa-chan and smiled. "Do you want to hold her?" She chuckled and petted my head.

"But you should let me hold your precious Usa-chan when you get to know me better. Hopefully, I get to hold her soon," she told me as I looked at her in awe. No one has ever told me that. She then smiled at me. A smile I could never forget.
