Chapter 1. Hiroko!

Hiroko's POV

My smile only widened as I approached the school on my small, rusty bike. The vast amount of land that Ouran Academy owned was more than a thousand times bigger than my apartment block, and a million times more luxurious. The golden bars that circled the school glistened in the spring sunlight, and only made my beam shine.

Earlier in the morning, I had been shaking with fear over how I would fit in at school, before my stupid older brother Yuki decided it would be funny to cut off most of my hair. He said: 'It will boost your confidence!' that was my brother, my blonde haired, blue-eyed big brother who was filled with strange theories and crazy ideas. Mother fixed it quickly however, her job as a hairdresser made me slightly relieved, though she only had time to make sure the diagonal cut was even.

Now my charcoal black hair fell from my left shoulder, all the way up to my red streak with hung by my right ear. And, somehow, a part of my hair had managed to partially cover my face. I guess it made me look kinda… Handsome? I mean, if you saw me in my black work jeans, and supermarket button-up school shirt, thin tall build, and piercing emerald and icy blue eyes (Yup, one eye blue and one eye green) you would say I was a male.

I quickly tie my bike up to a railing, and rush into the large building, leaving a crowd of fascinated students standing in awe while looking at my bike.

"Hello, I'm Fujioka Haruhi, please take care of me." The girl messily dressed, with badly cut hair chimed, it was now my turn.

"Hiya, I'm Ash, Hiroko, please take care of me-"I was cut off by a snicker.

"Isn't Hiroko a girl's name?" I tensed, did he really think that I was a boy?

"Actually, Hiroko can be either, it means 'broad minded child' isn't that right Ash-san?" I silently nod my head and she smiles brightly at me. "Thank you Fujioka-san." After that, Haruhi and I are sat next to each other at the back of the class, which, is actually quite enjoyable!

A few more weeks pass, and already me and Haruhi have found a lot in common, we both are honour students, and she got in academically, while I got in through art and academics. I also found out that she lost her mom when she was young… I can't really say that about my dad, since he is doing all he can for us in England; but since his visa ran out here, all he can do is work there and send money here, I haven't seen him in nine years.

"Hiroko-Chan! Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? Your mom and brother are both working till late aren't they?" I grin at my friend's proposal.

"Ok, I will come over after school, if you want I can stay over so that we can study?"

"Sounds alright, I'm going to study at lunch though, do you want to come?" I nod happily and hear the end of lesson bell. "Let's go then!"

How can NONE of the libraries be quiet? For such a huge place with five of them, it was not impressive. I look over at Haruhi and frown at her horribly cut brunette hair. My mom had offered to cut it, but she said that 'it would be asking too much' which I think is rubbish. "Uh, this abandoned music room seems like an alright place to study…" Haruhi muttered, obviously as vexed about the whole library thing as I was. "It gives me the creeps…" Haruhi shrugged and I grabbed her shoulder.

"Actually Haruhi… I really need to eat, I'll come over to your house in the afternoon k?" She nodded sadly and I sped off, what was it about those massive glamorous double doors that made it seem so eerie to me? Oh well, I guess I could ask Haruhi later on today.

Padding along to the Fujioka house didn't take long, it was only around the corner from mine. I wore a mint green, armless dress that hung just above my knees, a white and red baseball jacket and a pair of green flats. The hair that was long enough was tied to the side, while my emerald coloured eye was covered by my short green fringe. "Hiroko dear! That dress looks stunning on you, will you be staying overnight?" Ranka had adored me from the moment he saw me, which was almost two weeks ago. "Good to see you Ranka, and yup! I'll be staying to study… Is Haruhi here yet?" he looked confused.

"I thought she was with you?" I sigh and smile gratefully.

"No need to worry, as long as she stays in Ouran, and comes back straight away she'll be fine, if she's not back in half an hour I'll go looking-" Ranka gasped as he looked at me. Did I have something on it? "Y-your eyes…" He clasped his hands over his mouth, and I scratch the back of my head.

"Yeah… one Blue and one green weird right?" a grin appeared on his face and he giggled.

"They are magnificent!" I feel my heart stop for a moment, and my eyes go glassy.

"They're not that amazing…" Ranka sighed and pinned up the hair that was hanging over my face, now he would be able to see a hint of freckles, high cheekbones and sharp features, not to mention both of my eyes. "And even more beautiful when we can see your face." I embrace Ranka lovingly and he takes me into the apartment. "I'll get a futon from the cupboard for you, just sit and wait..."

"How about I prepare some tea? Since we're waiting for Haruhi to come anyways."

"Good idea! I won't be a second!" And by a second he means about five minutes. I sit the two cups down on the table, and on queue Ranka frolics in with a proud look plastered onto his face. "Haruhi's room is sleepover ready-"

"Dad! I'm home, is-"Haruhi comes in, dressed in Ouran's blue uniform, haircut and her brown eyes bulging. "Yeah, I'm here, here, have this and I will make my own." She sits down and I calmly make my way to the kitchen. "Haruhi! Can I have a little help?" Haruhi walks in and I give her a furious look. "What?"

"Don't just say 'what?' WHAT happened to you! Why are you dressing a uniform that costs more than my brother's share of the rent?" I yell quietly.

"Calm down and I'll explain…" I sigh and cross my arms. "So, when you left, I decided to go in and study- which was a terrible idea. I didn't know, that when I opened the door, I would find the Host club… And IkindabrokeavasewortheightmillionYen!" I gape at her and start to laugh.

"Seriously? A Host club! What did they do to you?" I say like a child awaiting the next page of a story book. "Well, the 'king' Souh Tamaki, said that I would have to pay off my debt working as the 'natural' type…" I giggle and Haruhi tilts her head.

"Well, you've definitely got a way with words!"

"Y'know, you know how to make a person feel really depressed to really happy in a matter of seconds?" I shrug and hug my friend. "I will come and see you tomorrow…"

"Hiroko…Hiroko!" I heard a voice and I could feel myself physically jolt. I will not wake up… "Hiroko!" Grrr I will NOT wake up! "Hiroko!" I lean up and shiver. I feel myself look up at whoever called my name. "GET OUT! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?" I yell and throw something hard at the figure, before lying back down. "Ahh! I'm sorry Hiroko dear! But…" I didn't hear what the voice had to say before falling asleep.

My eyes flutter open and I yawn happily. Haruhi looks down at me with an ashamed look on her face. "Sorry that my dad tried to wake you up…" Did he? I can't remember being woken up…

"Oh um, it's ok…" I get out of bed, and get changed into my school 'attire' before combing my hair over my eyes. "Hey Haruhi… I'll see you at the Host club K? I won't be in classes." She nods uncertainly as we head out the door, and for a split second I swear I saw Ranka with a plaster on his head.

Haruhi's POV

After school, I had run all the way to the Host club to find them dressed like Aztecs or something, which I had strongly disagreed too, so Now I sit with several girls sitting starry eyed-opposite me. Suddenly, the door bursts open, "SORRY HARUHI! I'm late because the doctor took too much time giving me medi- HEY! Aren't they the two that- Aw! That blonde small one is so cute! HARUHI! I feel dizzy-"

"Um, excuse me children have you seen a drugged fifteen year old around-"The doctor gasped as she saw my unconscious best friend sprawled out on the floor. "I told you to stay where you were to let the medication wear off!" The twins poked Hiroko

"Hey, isn't this the other honour student?" Kyoya pushes up his glasses and looks at his computer.

"Yes, J Hiroko Tanaka Ash. First year and probably fifteen years of age." The club waited for him to say something really weird like her blood type or height.

"That's it?" Tamaki asked. Kyoya gritted his teeth and nodded in annoyance. "Doesn't Haruhi know stuff about him?" As the doctor dragged her away I couldn't help but feel afraid, I knew her heart condition wasn't bad, but those drugs looked like they affected her loads…

Ohhhh, what's this about a heart condition? And can anyone guess her blood type? And why is her file empty? Thanks for reading guys, review below and check for reg. updates!
