The sky was turning dark; the clouds were filled with roars of thunder. It was just 3 in the afternoon in the Ouran Academy. It was unlikely to have a rainy weather at a sunny afternoon when the weather forecast did not detect any rain showers or thunderstorms.

A girl with an average height, boyish haircut and large brown eyes was currently studying at the library. "That's really odd." Haruhi Fujioka muttered as she looked at the sky by the window. Her large eyes looked terrified. She quickly jumped out of her seat and started taking the books she borrowed back to the librarian. She did not care if she was required by the Host Club after she came from the library. She just wanted to go home before. . .

TOCK! TOCK! TOCK!

There was a knock at the 3rd Music Room of Ouran Academy. The half-French, half-Japanese Prince of the club turned around. Tamaki Suoh was busy pleasing the girls beside him when he came to an abrupt halt. He took out a rose and welcomed the visitor along with the other members. "Welcome."

There was no response from the odd visitor. It was wearing a black hood (Tamaki had a good impression it was ...); however, an old woman's voice spoke behind the hood. "I am here to deliver something." As soon as she said this, the lightning suddenly flashed by the windows. All the girls shrieked and stood behind the host club members. It seemed that they were inside a horror movie. The chandeliers and the other lights started flickering.

"Ooh, scary!" the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru said in unison as they embraced each other.

"Excuse me, but we do not accept anyone else besides members of this Academy and of course, who do not belong on high status. It depends on what you are to deliver. It may serve as your entrance." The shadow king spoke with his eyes hidden in those glasses. (Haruhi suddenly felt annoyed without any reason. She was still inside the library.)

"Father, you are being rude you know. She is an old lady and what are we, host clubs for?" Tamaki's eyes sparkled as he grew closer to the old lady, offering her a rose.

"Ta – Tama-chan, do – don't go closer to her." Honey stammered, stretching Mori's black hair.

"Yes madame?" Tamaki asked. The old lady gave him something. Kyoya, Hikaru and Kaoru, Honey and Mori, as well as the other ladies present could not identify what the lady had given Tamaki; it was, somehow, invisible in their eyes. Unless, Tamaki was just pretending he did receive something from the old lady. Then, she muttered a few words to Tamaki and then, before she left the front door of the 3rd Music Room, another flash of lightning was seen and then, she was no longer in sight. The doors of the room suddenly closed without any wind blowing it. Tamaki gazed at what he was holding with his mouth wide open.

"Lord, what is it that she gave you that made you so awestruck?" Hikaru came over to Tamaki.

"Yeah, you only act like that when Haruhi said something that affects you deeply." Kaoru teased.

The rest of the members peered at what Tamaki was holding, which was actually nothing.

"Er – I don't mean to offend you Tama-chan but what exactly are you holding?"

Tamaki jumped as he realized that his friends were around him, looking at what he was holding in his hands. "Oh! I – It's a rose you see! It's different from what I am holding. It sparkles."

"Ha? A sparkling rose?" Hikaru and Kaoru laughed hysterically. "Lord, are you sure it's not wet? It may just be water that you think it's sparkling."

But Tamaki was not listening; he was just about to turn the doorknob when someone else opened it and unexpectedly embraced him. All the ladies started yelling, "Kyaa!" or "MOE" once this person had entered. Hikaru was feeling somehow uncomfortable with this scenery. Haruhi came to the host club to tell them she would go home but ended up being frightened by the thunderstorms and embracing Tamaki unexpectedly.

Tamaki's face quickly turned red. Then, he shook his face of and realized what was happening. "Ah, sempai, sorry! I – I was just –" small tears came down from Haruhi's eyes and Tamaki led her inside another room, where they were all alone.

"Hush, hush, Haruhi. It'll be over soon." Tamaki said gently as he placed a cloth around Haruhi to make her warm and sat beside her. They were sitting beside the door. He was still gazing at the sparkling pink rose that the old lady had given him. It seemed there was an aura surrounding it. He untied the letter attached to it and started reading:

This is a wishing rose. It could grant any of your impossible wishes. Just be careful of what you wish for. The petals would start falling down when your wish is being fulfilled. Those who are given this rose could only see it since it was only given to those who are needed.

"Sempai? Did you just receive the same flower?" Haruhi asked as she pointed at what Tamaki was holding.

"Y – You also did?" Tamaki asked surprisingly. Haruhi nodded.

Their thoughts were both on the rose, thinking what to wish for now that they are given a chance to ask for what they want.

Oh, this is my first Ouran work. Please do leave your reviews after reading it. And it's not yet finished mind you. The review button is just a click away. That would be a real help. Thanks! ;)
