Ch. 1: Music Room 3

I walked through the halls looking down the entire time. I only looked up enough to see where I was every now and then. As I made my way, I noticed two guys that were twins harassing, a girl in a guys uniform? I noticed that they were my classmates. Strange but whatever. I started to look back down again and ran into something hard. Thinking it was a wall looked up to see if I missed a turn and saw a blue coat with the schools logo on it instead of the yellow beige walls. I looked up further, about 4 or 5 inches and saw a face that almost looked like he was looking into my soul. I lowered my head again and kept walking.

I was looking for a music room that I could use for my personal rehearsal. But with the first two I tried they were full of people talking and lounging. Dang rich people.

I'm not more than average looking, except for my hair which was as short as a boys, and my clothing which, if you didn't know me you would probably think I was a boy. From what my previous friends have said, I have an amazing voice. So when I moved into this school, I was set on teaching myself how to play different instruments and singing with the ones that didn't need my mouth. I finally reached the third music room. "Finally, somewhere that I can practice," or so I thought. I opened the door to roses but no one there. I shrugged it off and found the piano.

I sat down and began playing one of Mozart's pieces. I can't remember which one it is though. They all had similar names. Soon after I had started, I heard a camera snap. I froze and slowly turned around. The camera flashed again and the flash was enhanced by my glasses.

After the effects of the flash wore off I looked to see who was behind the camera. I found not one person, but four behind the camera. I quickly felt my face flush. As I had always had, to some degree, stage fright.

One of the four faces was familiar. 'Ah, it's the wall I ran into on my way here,' I thought to myself.

I must have looked familiar to him too because he leaned down to the boy next to him, who looked like he should be in grade school, and whispered something to him. The grade school boy smiled brightly and whispered to the rest of the boys behind the camera. The other two looked to be about the same age. One with glasses, short raven black hair and gray eyes. The other with longer blonde hair and somewhere in between purple and blue eyes.

The blonde smiled idiotically and the glasses guy just stared at me.

"You have exceptional piano skills my young friend," the tall blonde said. I looked at the ground as he continued. "Have you ever thought about playing a more difficult and soulful piece instead of that?" he asked.

I looked up at him and noticed that I had seen him playing the piano before.

The other boy with glasses looked at me and then wrote in his black book that he held ever so carefully. "I couldn't help but notice that you are violating the rule that unless you are part of the club, you cannot be here before the club begins," he said not looking up from his book.

Feeling uncomfortable, I stood up and started for the door only to be caught by my classmates as they came in. "Ah," I shouted as I fell backwards. The twins looked down at me as I tried to keep a painting that was now trying to fall on top of me. "I could use a little help here," I said as I strained to hold it up. The people around me just stood and stared until the painting finally fell on me and the frame broke. I cursed under my breath as I stood up with cuts and bruises forming.

"Are you alright man?" asked Kaoru. Don't ever ask how I am able to tell them apart.

"Yeah, for the most part. Thanks Kaoru," I said as I winced from previous pains that had now grown stronger.

They all looked at me like I was some great knowing person, except for the glasses guy. He just kept writing in his little black book that scared me to death and back.

Kaoru blinked a couple of times and then broke the silence as I started for the door again.

"H-how did you know which one I was?" he asked.

"I dunno, I can just tell," I responded. Then headed for the door only to run into the door, once again, as Haruhi opened it. I fell back again and landed on the part of my body that was in the most pain, my back. I was able to hold back the scream that I wanted to let out. Then glasses man had Mr. Wall try and help me up, but I was in no mood to have someone have pity on me.

After I got up, Mr. Glasses opened his mouth as he stood in front of me. "Do you know how much that frame you just broke cost?" I looked at him, my green eyes worried that I wasn't going to be able to pay it with my allowance, and I certainly didn't want him to know. "H-how m-much?" I finally said.

He briefly looked up from his black book to look me over and then said, "To much for you to pay, judging by your looks."

I felt ready to punch him, and then I realized what he said and sank to the floor with my face in my hands.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see the blonde that was originally standing next to glasses.

He smiled at me and then introduced himself. "I am Tamaki, the host club king,"

He turned to the others who, during his introduction, had posed themselves.

"This," he said pointing to the glasses character that had given me the news "is Kyoya." He pointed to the twins that are in my class "These two are the Hitachiin twins Hikaru and Kaoru." He pointed to the grade school boy who was now on top of the wall that I had run into. "These are Mitskuni "Honey" Haninozuka, and Takashi "Mori" Morinozuka." I blinked a few times as he continued with the last person that wasn't posed. "This is our newest member, Haruhi Fujioka."

He smiled at himself feeling accomplished and then turned to me. "What is your name young man?"

'Young Man? Oh he must be confused because of my appearance.'

"I'm Dani, Dani Handoka," I said as I headed for the door for the third time. I was stopped by Mori who stood in front of me to keep me from escaping.

"Well Mr. Handoka, I'm afraid that you will have to pay back the 8 million yen debt that you now owe us," Kyoya told me, in a very calm and a little evil tone.

I stood there with my mouth hanging open and not moving. I noticed after a while that someone was talking to me.

"Ni.. Ani.. Dani, Earth to Dani," it was Hikaru who was waving a hand in front of my face that caught my attention. "Huh, what?" I said as I snapped painfully back into reality.

"Our tono* just decided that you will take over from where Haruhi left off as the host club dog." he said as plainly and bluntly as he could.

"I-I can't do that," I said as I shakily crept backwards. "I have terrible stage fright, and I can't participate in any after school activities because I have to go straight home after school." I said as I felt the wall behind my back.

"Then why are you here after school in the music room?" Kaoru asked looking as sly as he does in class.

"I Uh, um, I," I stammered as long as I could before trying to bolt for the door but was caught by Kyoya who looked more shadow king than when I first saw him.

"Mr. Handoka, I don't think you want to do that. My family has a police force that can track you down and bring you back here at the snap of my fingers," he said coldly.

I gulped and stopped moving. He released my arm and I stepped back a few steps.

I looked around at the different expressions that were on the faces of the people before me. Some had the look of mischief, others a look of giddy happiness, one with no expression at all. Haruhi looked at me with pity almost as if she knew how I was feeling.

I looked at the floor and said "What do I have to do?"

Songbird51: So, what did you all think?

Kaoru: Hey Songbird51, how did you come up with this stuff anyway?

Songbird51: Kaoru? How did you get in here?

Kaoru: I don't know.

Haruhi: What's going on here?

Songbird51: Haruhi? Okay you know what, I give up trying to figure out how you people end up here.

Kaoru: Whatever, Songbird51 would really appreciate it if you would R&R criticism.

Songbird51: Thank you Kaoru for saying what I've been trying to say while figuring out how you got in here in the first place! (MAJOR SARCASM)
