Author's Note: I couldn't wait anymore! It was simply killing me not to write another fanfic even though my other one isn't finished just yet, but I needed something with a bit more light heartedness. Besides, I've been wanting to write this for awhile! It's my second fanfic and I'm excited. I think this one will be a bit shorter, but enjoy. I love Ouran! I can't decide if I want this to be after the anime or for the manga, but you'll know if I put Satoshi in it! Do you know how freaking hilarious that would be? LOL Anywhoozle, Enjoy! Oh, and before I forget, There is an error in me trying to edit Trying Times for now. Sorry. Ch. 9 is written but for some reason I'm unable to edit Trying Times and update. :(
Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran High School Host Club or it's characters (except Rina and her family).
"Have you heard?" Kyouya asked the others in the Host Club. It was a meeting day, so they didn't expect anyone to show up.
"Heard what?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked in unison.
"It seems Rina Rheims has come back to Ouran after her two years of studying abroad.
Everyone in the room froze except for Haruhi and Tamaki. They had no idea who Rina was. The twins knew because she had been in the same class as them and was angry when with them when she heard what they had done to her friend who had confessed, but she never really did blame them. Honey knew of her because she came up to him often saying it was okay to indulge himself sometimes and had given him a small sample of a cake that she had made before. Mori knew her because of Honey (of course) and a whole other reason no one, not even Kyouya knew except Honey. Kyouya knew her because of her family's business (another of course).
"So who is she?" Haruhi asked.
"Someone who we all know," Kyouya answered.
"Mother, are you hiding things from me?" Tamaki asked Kyouya going into his bizarre moods again.
Kyouya pushed up his glasses and smiled. "No, I am not. Would you like to know about this person?"
Tamaki nodded. Kyouya opened his black notebook and said, "Rina Rheims is half Japanese and half English. Her mother died recently and her father decided it was time for her to go abroad. She has elder brothers who are twins and the heirs to the two companies which is music and film making. End of report."
"Speaking of me are you?" said a soft female voice coming from the door. None had heard the door open only to find a beautiful girl standing there.
She had amazing soft blue eyes that resembled the sea and long, flowing black hair that seemed to have tints of auburn in it. She wasn't tall but she wasn't short either. She was slim and had the air of someone who seemed like royalty. The boys in the room didn't even recognize her. She had changed so much. Her skin wasn't as pale and her eyes had a light in them that wasn't there before. This girl was Rina Rheims.
"Rina-chan!" Honey said as he ran up to her and hugged her.
Rina smiled down at Honey. "It's nice to see you again as well, Mitskuni. I had heard that you all had started a club with the chairman's son. I'm sorry to have intruded on you all while preparing for your club activities."
"Actually, it's a meeting day, Miss Rheims," Kyouya said. "It's good to make your acquaintance again."
"Kyouya, your smile has become more genuine. That's good," Rina replied.
Kyouya only smiled at her. Rina approached the twins. "Good to see you two again. I assume you're much more open now."
Hikaru and Kaoru smiled at her. "You could say that," Hikaru said. Kaoru said, "In a way, we have because of our lord over there."
Rina looked at Tamaki for the first time ever. Sure, he was nice to look at, but she wasn't interested even after he kissed her hand and greeted her with that flirting smile he reserved for his customers.
"I am glad to have met you, Princess Rina," Tamaki said. "Your beauty is unequalled by any other."
Haruhi sighed at Tamaki's actions. Rina smiled. "Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not interested in you."
Tamaki froze and retreated to his corner as he started pouting. The twins started laughing. "You could have been a bit gentler about it, Rina," they said in unison.
"There is no use in lying." Rina said as she turned to Haruhi. Rina's brows knit as she stared as Haruhi. "Haruhi, why are you in the Host Club if you are female?"
Everyone froze. The twins seized her at once and Kyouya smiled his evil smile. "If you tell anyone about this," Kyouya said, "I'll make sure you're out of this country forever."
Rina laughed. "What makes you think I'll tell anyone? You have your reasons."
Haruhi said, "It doesn't really matter. At first, I owed them a debt, but now that that's paid off, I stay because they're all my friends."
"That's perfectly understandable." Rina said as the twins started hugging Haruhi. "You're our friend, too," the twins said.
Tamaki came out of his corner and started yelling at the twins to get off of his precious daughter. Rina walked up to Mori. "Are they always like this, Takashi?"
"Yes, for the most part. How was your abroad trip?" he asked her.
Almost everyone in the room turned to look at them the moment Rina said Takashi. Rina smiled. "It was wonderful. It helped me with mourning over my mother and now I feel no despair at all."
Mori smiled back at her. "That's good. I missed your smile."
Honey looked pleased with their exchange. Everyone else was obviously out of the loop. Honey climbed onto Mori's shoulders. "Rina-chan, will you come over for dinner tonight?" Honey asked.
"I'm afraid not tonight. My father missed me as well as my brothers. I fear they might be monopolizing my time for now. That's why I came to see you while I still had time," Rina answered.
"Then, we can come have dinner with you! I've missed eating your cakes," Honey said.
"Mitskuni, I won't have any of my cakes prepared, but I did remember to buy you a cake," Rina said.
"Okay! We'll see you tonight then, Rina-chan!" Honey said.
Rina nodded and left the room. Everyone in the room started asking Honey and Mori questions except for Haruhi, but she too was curious.
"I'll tell you everything if you promise not to tell," Honey said over everyone's voices.
Tamaki and the twins nodded their head fervently and were intensely focused on Honey. Kyouya nodded and was interested since he, who knows almost everything, didn't know.
Honey smiled as he looked at Mori for permission. Mori nodded. "You see, Rina-chan is Takashi's fiancée."
They all said simultaneously, "WHAT?"
