Chapter 1
And So They Met the Host Club
"I really don't like this place," a girl in a purple spaghetti strap shirt with a gray cover up, skinny jeans, and gray flats muttered. She had beautiful strawberry blonde hair and hazel eyes. She was stomping down on a tiled floor, her hands balled up into fists. Her almost twin sister caught up with her. She also had the same hair, eyes, and face, but she had light freckles over her nose and cheeks. She was wearing a sky-blue lace top with a white knee-length skirt and blue flats. They both had their hair up in ponytails, with their bangs out.
"You don't have to, Rose," the girl in the blue shirt told her. "We just have to fix some sort of platform motor in place of dad's workers and we can leave." She looked around as they continued to walk. "Besides, what's so bad about this place?"
Rose stopped in front of a door with a sign above it that said "Music Room #3". She turned to face her sister, Lily. "What's so bad about it is that it's a snooty rich kid school with snooty rich kid students whose parents own stupid snooty rich companies!" She stared at her sister in silence.
Lily turned to the door. "In case you've forgotten," she explained coolly, "Our father runs a multi-million dollar mechanic company, and our mother is a fashion designer."
Rose bit her lip. "Uh, well," she struggled.
"Well what?"
"It's different."
"How?"
"Um, because we don't flaunt it? Oh I don't know, it just is!"
Lilly sighed. "It's the same every time Rose. You complain for no reason." Before her sister could yell a comeback, Lilly opened the door, and a gust of wind blew rose petals in from them. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Welcome," they heard. They watched in shock as they saw a group of seven boys welcome them. They were all dressed in Ouran Academy uniforms, which was the school they were at. As Rose went to check that they were at the right room, a boy with blonde hair and purple eyes stood up and walked towards Lilly.
"Hello there, young lady," he soothed. "You look more ravishing than I could have ever dreamed. But you must be the girl of my dreams. There's no other explanation of our meeting. I have dreamed of finding you, of finally meeting you," he exclaimed as he held Lilly close. "I have even-"
Lilly pulled back her hand and slapped him across the face. "Ow!" he yelled. The other boys stared in shock. Two boys started laughing, but Lilly didn't look up.
"Stalker!" she accused the boy as she ran back. "What kind of person just randomly tries to 'bust a move' on someone they don't even know!" When Rose heard yelling, she ran back into the room. She asked Lilly what had happened. "This FREAK," Lilly explained, "Tried to flirt with me!" Rose automatically slapped the boy. The others just stared.
"F-f-freak?" the boy muttered. Then he ran into the corner and just sat there in fetal position. The twin girls rolled their eyes.
The boys who were laughing stopped. They stared. "Hikarou," one of them nudged the other, "Those girls are like us."
Rose's temper surged. "Look MISTER," she growled, "This is obviously one of those pathetic 'host clubs' that I've heard about, where girls sometimes pay for boys to flirt with them even though they couldn't care less about what happens to them, and we aren't, nor will we ever be-" but as she and her sister turned around to face the boys who laughed when they slapped the blonde boy, they stopped in their tracks and gaped. The sisters practically went weak-kneed when they saw two twin boys with orange hair and beautiful golden eyes. The twin boys, who they figured were Hikarou and Karou from what they heard before, secretly thought they were amazing-looking too.
They were all in silence until they heard a female voice yell, "You're here!" Rose and Lilly jumped out of their skins as they heard a powerful motor running, and a platform rising up with a girl on it. Then it stopped, started, the machine chugging, but eventually stopped so that only the girl's upper body was level with the floor.
"How many weirdoes are there?"
"Isn't this supposed to be a music room?"
The girl ignored their questions as she climbed up onto the floor. "I'm Renge, I called Gengara Mechanics for some assistance." She stopped in front of the girls and looked around. "So," she asked, "Where are the workers?"
Rose and Lilly stared. "You're looking at them," Lilly told her, both of them pulling out a bag labeled, "Tools". Renge stared.
"But, but," she stuttered.
"Where girls?" The twins looked at each other. Rose shrugged. "We figured this would happen. Because apparently, even when you're the daughters of a powerful owner of the most famous mechanical company in Japan, you can't be a mechanic." Lilly walked over to the platform, and yelled for Rose to come over.
"What do you think it is?" Lilly asked her. Rose shrugged.
"I don't know, probably gears grinding against each other."
"I don't think so. If it was, we would have heard that grinding sound while it was rising, and it wouldn't have just stopped."
"So what's your guess?"
Lilly jumped onto the platform, still lower than the floor, and bounced on it a little. She crawled back up. "The pulley has either been damaged or completely pushed out of place. And it sounds like the springs have almost been undone."
While the two sisters went downstairs to check out the motor, Renge just sat in one of the chairs and whistled a bit. The blonde boy, whose name was Tamaki, had recovered from the insult and had stood up to come to the others. "I don't like them," he pouted.
Renge just looked around. "I think they're nice," she replied cluelessly. "But I was surprised to find out they're sisters."
A black-haired boy with glasses whose name was Kyoya informed her, "You realize that they were twins, right?"
Hikarou and Karou added, "ALMOST twins, one of them had freckles."
Renge looked shocked. "They're twins?!" The boys sighed.
After about an hour, a brown haired and brown eyed boy whose name was Haruhi suggested, "Maybe somebody should go down there to check on them."
Hunny, a boy with golden hair and brown eyes who looked like he was five told his cousin Mori, who had black hair and blue eyes, "Yeah, the basement is scary. There are lots of bugs and spiders and it's so dark!" He looked up at Mori. "Can we not go to the basement?"
"Yeah."
"We'll go," Karou volunteered. Hikarou just shrugged. They walked down the hall to the stairs labeled 'Basement'.
"I can't believe we met other twins," Hikarou told his brother as he walked down the stairs.
"I can't believe they were so beautiful." They remained quiet for the rest of the way down, until they saw a light where the girls must've been. Karou put a finger to his lips. "Let's scare them a bit."
Hikarou smiled. "I was just about to say that." They tiptoed until they reached the bottom of the stairs. "One, two," Hikarou whispered. The twin boys jumped out on three, screaming.
But they soon realized that the girls weren't scared. "Oh, hey," Lilly replied, looking up from where Rose was working. "No, that gear needs to be tightened," she pointed to a small gear, and Rose just went to work.
"Done," she replied in a minute. "Well, looks like we'll be leaving," she told the twins, packing up her tools. Lilly was drawing something.
The twin boys blocked their exit. "Not so fast," they replied.
"What now?"
"We'll let you leave, if you play the which one is Hikarou game. But we must warn you, there has only been one person who has ever won at-"
Lilly sighed. She pointed to the one on the right. "Karou."
Rose pointed to the one on the left. "Hikarou."
The twin boys stared, dumbfounded. "That's right," Karou muttered.
"But, um, we need your reasoning," Hikarou told them.
"Your voices are slightly different," Rose told them, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Lilly walked up to the twins. "We would have come up with something more intelligent, but we haven't known you for very long." Her sister Rose joined her. "Now if you'll excuse us," Lilly told them, "We'll be on our way."
The boys let them through, but they stood there for a few minutes. "There's something different with those girls," Karou pointed out. "And I don't know if I like it or not."
When the boys walked back to Music Room #3, they saw Renge handing over some bills to the girls. Then she ran to try out her platform and found that it worked like a charm. She exclaimed, "Thank you! Thank you!" Then she seemed to remember something. "Oh, I had this most brilliant idea! What if the twins go out with the twins?"
The twin boys and the twin girls stared at each other. Rose coughed. "Well, um, we really should be going," she told them as she walked away.
"I guess we won't see you again," Lilly said as she waved and ran to catch up with her sister.
"Well that was interesting," Haruhi observed.
Kyoya had written down something on his clipboard. "Quite. But I hope we've left a good impression on them, seeing as how they're going to be enrolled at our school."
"WHAT?!" they all yelled.
"But they just said," Hikarou started.
"That we would never see them again," Karou finished.
Kyoya pushed his glasses up. "I'm aware that their father hasn't told them yet, but it was announced at a meeting of some sort, along with a second option for the girls' uniforms."
Haruhi stared at the door the girls had just walked out of. "Maybe we won't ever see them again."
Tamaki asked her, "Why?"
"Well, seeing as how they hated the Host Club, I'm guessing they wouldn't come back to it."
Hunny walked over to Kyoya, who was sitting down at a table, doing some math. "Kyoya, what class will they be in?"
"If my memory serves me right," Kyoya told him, not looking up from his work, "They would be in Hikarou, Karou, and Haruhi's class,"
"Huh?" the trio replied.
The rest of the day went on as normal for them. And Rose and Lilly were walking to their family car. Their driver was inside, reading a book. "Time to go home, Charles," Rose told him once her and her sister were seated. He nodded, pulling out of the parking lot.
"So, what did you think of the school?" Charles asked.
"Meh," Lilly replied for both of them. They would soon learn at dinner that they were about to go to it.
Yeah, I finally got this up! C: I've written at least five more chapters, which I will be posting later. Please review! No flames.
Disclaimer: I don't own OHSHC. But Rose and Lilly (and Charles!) belong to me.
