((Hello! So, this is my first attempt to write anything in the Ouran High Host Club category. But this idea came to my mind. You see, I have always wondered what it would be like to give Haruhi a chance to be with each man. Is this not the answer? I will post regularly depending on if people actually seem to like my idea. I currently have one story going and quite a few "Dead" ones that I need to revive. So, if anyone of you people like this please tell me so! Here I Go! Wish me Luck!))
Reflections Of A Different Love
By: UnForgottenMemories
Chapter One
The Way Things Work Out
The blaring of an alarm clock was the first thing that reached her ears when Haruhi felt the heat of the sun on her face, pushing away the linen quilt to gaze out the window. It was already early morning? It felt like she had just went to sleep. Either way one thing was clear, it was time to get up.
Her body protested from the lack of sleep as she yawned lightly and brought a hand to her mouth before sitting up. Her hair was in tangle while the young woman stared at the wall for a moment. "Why does Tamaki-senpai have to bother me on a sunday?" She asked herself before rolling out of the bed.
However, her legs caught onto the sheet causing the young girl to land on the hard floor. This did not help to brighten her day while she pushed herself off the ground and rubbed her now hurting nose. This was just the start of a long day. 'Hopefully this isn't how the rest of the day will go' She thought while brushing off before going into the restroom.
The Host Club had another one of their events planned. It seemed that Kyoya-senpai had discussed having an outing with the young ladies from school. Haruhi could not help but feel this was just another attempt to make money. She just wished he had given her an idea what was planned.
It did not take her long to wash off and prepare herself for what would be a long day. Even after combing her hair it just seemed like it fell into a mess on her head. "Maybe I should grow it a little longer, Tamaki-senpai would love that" Haruhi spoke to herself, not really caring what the man would think. Sometimes though it did feel like her tom boy look was growing old. Perhaps, a small change was in order?
She dismissed the idea for now and went over to her dresser before pulling it open and gazing down at the clothes she had. "Haruhi! You are to come dressed as a girl, no buts! I want my baby to look beautiful!" Tamaki had shouted at her. Again, it was not like she cared.
By the time she was getting ready the young woman was wearing a long sleeved dark blue shirt, black jeans and a jacket that Hikaru had bought her a few months back. She had never worn it and hoped that maybe wearing it once would make him happy. Then she could toss it later when he forgot about it.
It felt like time was moving slowly around her as she yawned once more, her shower doing little to wake her up. "Come on, you can do this" Talking to yourself was a bad habit she ahd developed. Once Haruhi had been told that only "People with money in the bank" spoke to themselves. That had to be a wrong statement. "Though... Tamaki-san and the others do talk a lot" She defended before smiling and walking into the small living room.
Her father lay sleeping on a small couch in the corner, still dressed in his long dress outfit while she walked over and quietly looked the man over. He must have stayed out all night because by the sound of his snoring her father wasn't waking up for hours. After pulling the blanket up over his shoulders and writing a quick message she walked over and put her shoes on.
"Love you, Dad" She said under her breath before opening the door and quickly heading out. Haruhi found herself being unable to run as he weary body protested telling her she needed more rest. "Come on, do this and we can go to sleep early" She pushed herself forward before making her way to Hikaru and Kaoru's house.
The twins had announced happily that the Host Club event was to be held at their mansion. One of their mansions, would be the correct way to put it. She could swear that Kaoru had also said something about his mother maybe showing up. Other than that though, Haruhi had only been informed of the time in which to arrive.
She glanced down at the leather watch she was wearing, the time was almost ten a.m. She had fifteen minutes to get there and was moving at a snail's pace. Her body was just to tired to run while she walked along, becoming lost in her thoughts.
It had been quite a while since Haruhi had joined the Ouran High Host Club. She finally felt like there was a routine she could understand now. Eh, who was she kidding? Every time she showed up there was a surprise she would have never guessed. Some times there was a Moroccan theme... Others a Western layout. Every time Tamaki would have an outfit she would barely avoid having to wear.
'Though I kinda liked the western outfit' she thought before dodging around a man who was riding his bike down the street. Every man in the club never failed to make her wonder. Each was a puzzle that a part of the young girl wished to solve. Except for Tamaki... She could go without solving him.
But lately things had been strange between the girl and her male friends. It almost seemed like she was becoming something they expected and not someone they cared for. They still fawned over and protected her but... Something was different. 'Not that I care, it gives me more room to breath' she thought, the feeling of annoyance confusing her before she paused and looked up.
Somehow she had actually arrived in the rich part of town sooner than she expected while she glanced down at her watched and nodded. This was good, now she did not have to deal with Kyoya making a comment about her. Well, truly Kyoya she did not mind but the Twins teasing did get on her nerves some time. To think of what she would have to put up with if she arrived to their house late made her actually move faster.
"Of course they are getting used to me, I have been here for months... Eventually they were bound to get over me sooner or later" She was having a full blown conversation with herself while she turned and entered the open gates of the Twin's mansion. That was when she heard someone shouting to her.
"Haruhi-kun! Why are you walking? Can you not afford transportation?" A girl she recognized as Marina yelled from beside her as she realized she was walking next to a limo. The window was rolled down as the black haired rich girl hung half way out of it smiling at her.
"Marina-chan? It is nice to see you today" Haruhi could feel her Host charm kicking in while she gave the girl a soft smile causing her to swoon. "Oh! You poor thing! Come, get in here with me!" Marina said while moving away from the window and opening the door.
Haruhi wondered if she should for a few moments, her aching joints begging for her to rest before she shook her head. "I am sorry, I would not want to cramp you... Besides, this is wonderful exercise" Haruhi said, having not realize that she had drawn an audience.
Two other limos stuck behind the first one as four girls watched with wide eyes as the host spoke to Marina. She could sense the jealousy they had towards the rich girl for getting all of her attention.
"E-Exercise? O-Of course! I need that to!" Marina shouted quickly as she climbed out of the limo and slammed the door shut, Haruhi knew exactly where this was going. "W-Wait Haruhi! I need some exercise to!" A blond girl shouted from the limo behind Marina's as she moved out and quickly ran up to the two.
"Y-Yeah! Me to!" A brunette shouted before Haruhi found herself surrounded by five girls all fawning over her for attention. She had to admit it was nice to have people who wished to be around her. "I can understand why Marina needs it, she had been getting fat" The blond said before a horrified gasp was heard.
"I am not fat!" Marina shouted in her defense while Haruhi stepped between them. "She is right, Kinomi... I think Marina looks amazing" Haruhi said, addressing the blond girl as Marina's eyes went wide. She screamed out happily and hugged the host club member, almost knocking her over before they started on their way towards the mansion.
See? Haruhi knew things were becoming routine but this was the part she always enjoyed. Having people who loved to give her attention (While being embarassing most of the time) did give her a certain boost. She was brought out of her thoughts by a very familiar voice.
"Why my dear Haruhi, forcing all these lovely ladies to follow after you... Do you enjoy making these beautiful women work for you?" Tamaki asked, running a hand through his blond hair while his piercing blue eyes stared at the women. Cue the host club.
"T-Tamaki-kun! We chose to walk with Haruhi!" Marina defended the girl as the man moved from his position against the wall and walked down towards her. "I realize this, but such a gentle creature as yourself should not be walking so far... What if you feel? I would never be able to forgive myself" Tamaki told her, bringing the women into his arms as she gasped and then blushed darkly. Haruhi was not surprised.
"Haruhi-chan!" She heard Huni's voice from behind her and turned to see the teary eyed man looking up at her. "W-Why did you not wait for me? I said I would pick you up" He told her with a frown before whining, something that drew Kinomi's attention.
"I was so lonely..." He told Haruhi while the girl scratched the back of her head and gave him a small smile, she had totally forgotten. "Mitsukuni, it is clear she forgot" Mori said, as Haruhi looked up to see the man standing behind the boy. That was when she heard the familiar excited scream.
"Oh, Huni! I will stay with you all day that way you don't get lonely ever again!" Kinomi shouted before diving forward and enveloping the man in a tight hug. This too was something that Haruhi had expected. The next people to show up would be the...
"Kaoru! Look out!" Hikaru shouted as he dove forward and caught his twin before he could hit the ground, it seemed his foot had caught on the door. "H-Hikaru, I-I am sorry... I was so clumsy" Kaoru said from his brother's grasp before looking up with wide, fear filled eyes.
"It was so scary, I thought for sure I was going to-" He was cut off when Hikaru spoke. "Never, I would never allow anything to happen to you" The twin said before the held each other close. It almost seemed like they would kiss. This brought forth an amazing reaction of excitement and hysteria from the ladies.
"Wow, like that is new" Haruhi found herself saying out loud before hearing someone from behind her clear his throat. "Why change something that always seems to work?" Kyoya asked in an intelligent tone as she glanced over at him and shook her head. Even he had become predicatable. Had the Host Club really lost the fun essence it had once had for her?
"I guess your right" It was strange for her not to speak her mind as she walked away from the man, his sharp eyes following her for a few moments before he looked back down at his black file and started to write in it. Haruhi still had no idea what was going on.
Her eyes scanned around the entrance of the mansion while the Host Club greeted the women while they arrived, there was no answers to her question here. Instead of taking up her usual position next to the others Haruhi felt the curiousity get the better of her and walked into the mansion.
Everything seemed to be amazingly expensive but no different than the last time she had visited while she explored the massive mansion for a while before hesitating when something caught her eye. It was a rather ornate full length mirror that showed her reflection.
She stared at herself quietly for a few minutes before fixing her hair, that was when she noticed something. "Is that a hickey?" Haruhi asked as she stared at her neck, the love mark clear in her reflection before she placed a hand over it blushing. "How the hell did that get there!" She shouted out in shock before dropping her hand down to look at it.
The mark was gone, it seemed like everything was okay as she gave her reflection a questioning glance. She figured she must be more tired than at first and turned to walk away. Though, something had just seemed off in that moment. This was not the time to think about it.
The young girl made it quickly back to the entrance before hearing someone call for her and stopping. "There you are! We wondered where you ran off to, the party is about to begin" Hikaru and Kaoru said in perfect unison as they walked up to her and placed a hand on each shoulder.
"Where did you run off to? Tamaki-san was looking all over for you" Kaoru asked while Hikaru smirked and leaned in closer. "Did you sneak into out bedroom? Oh, Haru-chan... If you want to be in there we would have gladly taken you after the party" He teased while pulling her closer, Kaoru leaning in to join.
"Yeah, we would have loved to have some private time with you... Just the three of us" He told her before the girl placed her hand on Hikaru's forehead. "In your dreams" Both men froze at that comment as she slipped from their grasp and started walking away.
"Now, what is going on?" She asked the two dissapointed twins as they pouted before walking up behind her and motioning to the crowd in the back yard. "Designer tea party, mom helped us out on it" Hikaru informed her as they stepped out onto the patio that over looked the massive back yard. That was when she noticed it.
There was a multitude of women sitting at different tables, all the tables and chairs were decorated in different fashions. Everything from fur to leather and silk covered the back lawn as Haruhi scratched the back of her head with a nervous laugh. She would have never gussed that.
"Haruhi!" Tamaki shouted as he crossed the room quickl and leaned over, smiling handsomly at the women before presenting her a rose. "You did not dress up so I called my tailor and he is bringing over the perfect dress for you" The prince told her while Haruhi took the rose.
"It isn't like I'll wear it, Tamaki-senpai" She dead panned as he gasped and brought a hand to his heart, this was the same over dramatic Tamaki that she was used to. "Be still my beating heart, I shall turn you into a women soon!" He shouted at her, the embarassing notion making her blush lightly. Something the twins caught on to.
"Um Boss? Don't you think you shouldn't be yelling like that?" Hikaru shouted before Haruhi paused when she noticed that all around them things had grown quiet. This was something that was definettly out of routine...
All the women were staring with wide eyes at Haruhi and Tamaki while the man slowly straightened and glanced at the crowd. "Y-Yes, Haruhi! I will turn you into the MAN you should be" He attempted to change what he had said but the damage had been done.
In seconds a tirade of whispers moved through the crowds as Haruhi felt her heart beat increasing, suddenly she felt the need to hold something. This could not be happening! If they knew she was a girl then she could not be a host!
"Haruhi? A women? now way!" Marina said from her seat while Kinomi gasped loudly and placed a hand over her mouth. "But when you look close... She is girlish isn't she?" Kinomi pointed out while Haruhi started to move away from the crowd, that was when she felt her back come in contact with someone's chest.
Hikaru brought his arms around the woman in a protective fashion as the questions and gossip started to grow louder before turning and using his weight to guide her inside. Everyone knew this was not good.
"Kyoya, Mori, Huni! Host meeting" Tamaki shakilly declared before walking quickly inside. He had the most ashamed look as he approached Haruhi from her position, sitting on the couch next to both twins. Kaoru was holding her hand as she stared quietly at the ground.
"My this is entertaining, I always knew Tamaki would eventually lose himself" Kyoya said as he entered the room and close the door behind himself, his tone was almost a scolding one as he glanced at the prince. Both men seemed to challenge the other for a moment before looking back at Haruhi.
"H-Haruhi? Listen, I did not mean to... It just slipped out" Tamaki tried to apologize as he leaned closer only to be blocked by Kaoru as he glanced over his shoulder with hard look in his eyes. "Smooth move, Boss" He said, grasping Haruhi's hand in his as she remained quiet.
"Don't worry Haru-chan! Everything will be alright" Huni said as he climbed up onto the couch from behind and peered down at her, his eyes full of worry as he attempted to rub her head. For once she pulled herself away almost causing the man to fall off the back of the couch.
"He is right" Mori said before kneeling in front of her while she slowly looked up, his strong eyes stared at her before he brought a hand to her cheek. She looked away while his thumb massaged her skin lightly. "Unfortunately, it is not that easy" Kyoya said, his eyes staring into the file he held before looking up at them.
"It is clear that there is no way she can continue as a club member now, this secret will be all over school by late this evening" He informed them in a distant tone as he glanced up at the girl. "W-Why do you have to sound like that?" She asked suddenly before looking up at him. That was when the first tear fell.
Kyoya seemed almost taken aback for a moment while Haruhi slowly moved away from the men and passed Mori, his hand moving down her shoulder as she brought her arms up around her. "Do you really not care at all that this has happened?" She asked, her tone showing the hurt she felt as his eyes widened. The man seemed genuinely at a failure for words as he thought about what to say.
"Haruhi..." Tamaki said in a weak and gentle tone as he stood and walked over to her, reaching out and taking her wrists before turning the girl towards him. "Don't worry, I can fix this" He said. "I will protect you" He told her, but the words he had said so many time did not help the young girl at this moment.
"N-No... Not this time Tamaki... You can't fix it" She told him before pulling away from his grasp and quickly walking towards the door. "Haru-chan! Where are you going?" Huni shouted while Kyoya blocked her path. "This is not the proper way to handle things" Kyoya said in a calm voice, but the look in his eyes said something to her that she did not want to know at the moment.
She hesitated for just a moment before placing her hands on the man's shoulder and pushing him to the side, Kyoya being caught by surprise and almost falling as Haruhi opened the door and started to run down the hallway. "Haruhi!" The twins and Tamaki shouted as every host club member stood up to go after her.
Haruhi had never felt so embarassed and sad in all her life as she ran through the entrance of the mansion and down the road, never slowing even after hearing Tamaki and the Twin's shouting for her to stop. Could they not understand that everything was ruined?
Maybe she had actually come to like the continuous repetitive way the Host Club was run. Mayber she actually liked going to every meeting and party. Maybe she actually liked the men fawning over and paying her attention. It was too late to accept that now.
Tamaki had ruined everything. Tomorrow she would have to go to school and endure the many different stares and horrible things people would say about her. No matter how much those girls liked her Haruhi knew this was not good.
She had put enough distance between the men and herself that she hid in a back alley to catch her breath before peering out into the street. She had never ran so far in her life. That was when she noticed Mori running as fast as he could, it seemed he was the only one who had not gotten in a car.
"Haruhi!... Haruhi!" He shouted for her, in a tone she had never heard before. She could feel his emotions and worry and wished to go out and just let the man find her. He always had a way of making her feel better. But... Her heart would not allow that this time.
He vanished around the corner before four limos took off down that road. She knew where they were heading but they would not find her there this time. Haruhi had turned and ran in the opposite direction, passing various store windows on her way.
One thing she did not notice was the different reflection the windows showed of the girl. It was almost like different versions passing on the glass as Haruhi made her way down the side walk and then came to a skidding stop next to a railing. She had reached one of the public parks. Without even thinking she went under the railing and made her way down the grassy hill before seeing the public bathroom and going into it.
The minute she entered she found herself gasping for breath as she leaned over on of the many sink, sweat and tears moving down her face as her eyes stared wearily into her reflection. That was when she noticed that her hair was longer. For a moment she gave the reflection a curious glance, running a hand through her hair before sighing and looking into the sink.
She did not notice when the reflection changed to one of her wearing scarlet sleeping kimono. But when she looked up it was just normal, sad Haruhi. She splashed some water on her face before sighing and walking back outside, the cool wind caressing her skin while she walked over to a park bench and sat down.
Her legs ached from the long run as she brought them to her chest and sighed sadly, looking up at the blue sky before closing her eyes and hiding her face from the sun light. She should have known something bad would happen today. Why could she not have stayed home?
Haruhi could feel her weariness getting to her as she yawned lightly and refused to open her eyes, they would be red from all the crying she was doing. Instead she chose to just rest for a while. She needed some time to just think.
Within minutes she was sleeping on the bench, having been unable to stay awake.
At first her dreams were full of the Ouran High Host Club men. All of them as she found her heart beating quickly when the picture of each man was seen. The sadness in her body seemed to fade after a few moments as she saw the different moments she had with each man.
But, in her mind she knew that where she was sleeping was not only wrong but dangerous. The park was not a place to be at night. So, she willed herself awake. But that was when things got strange...
At first she became aware of the warm silk sheets and comforter that was over her shoulders as she snuggled in for more warmth. But there was something about the warmth that made her open her eyes. That was when Haruhi found herself in Mori's arms.
He was sleeping soundly as her eyes widened and she quickly pulled away, her now long hair cascading over her shoulders as the man started and opened his eyes. "Is something wrong?" He asked wearilly while sitting up to look at Haruhi. That was when the covers fell away to reveal his bare chest.
"Aah! Mori-senpai! What the hell!" She shouted, falling away from him and out of the bed before noticing that all she was wearing was a scarlet sleeping kimono. "W-What?" She asked, fingering the fabric before looking up at him. "Haruhi? What did I do?" He asked before quickly standing and walking around to her. The sight of the man standing in only his boxers made her eyes widen more.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! what happened?' She thought as he kneeled next to her and brushed the hair out of her face. That was when she noticed it was not the same Mori. This man had to be six or seven years older than her friend but she was sure it was him as his dark eyes looked her over. "Haruhi?" He asked, his hands grasping her shoulders while she heard his loving tone.
"Mori? What am I doing here?" Haruhi asked in a shaky tone while placing a hand on her hot blushing cheek and looking away. "What do you mean?" He asked, and that was when she felt the cold feeling on her hand. Bringing it up so she could view the brilliant ring on her finger. That could only mean one thing.
"Haruhi!" He shouted as she suddenly felt reality slipping from her while she felt towards him, the man bringing her into his embrace.
This... Was definettly not routine...

((There we go! I hope at least some one really likes this idea! It came to me while combing my hair. Like I said it is my first try but I hope you guys love it! Send me some reviews. I wonder... Do you think she will end up with Mori? Hmm... What could possibly be happening. You shall see! Have a wonderful day!))
