AN: So... this my first OFFICIAL non-Harry-Potter fanfic (gasp), except I was technically helping xxxBlack-Opalxxx write her stories that are up on this site, which were Soul Eater. And then I'm working on a Shugo Chara fic with xxxBlack-Opalxxx and another friend of ours, but it's all bits and pieces and not actually a cohesive story. Anyway... Sorry to all the people who are following Forever and Ever, I haven't gotten around to putting it on GoogleDocs so I have more incentive to work on it. I DO remember it exists, though, so don't fret. On to the story!

CHAPTER 1: Twincest or Something

Shiraishi's POV:
Akashia and I were searching for a quiet room to study, we had a big test in a couple hours, and quiet was essential. For me, anyway. I was just dragging Akashia along because I needed someone to study with, and she was not only a good study partner, but she was also my best friend ever, which helped.
Anyway.
We had wandered up the stairs into a hallway I had never been in before, but it was deserted, so I figured it might be a good spot for quiet review. Glancing at the signs above each door, I spotted "Music Room 3," and an involuntary shudder snaked down my back. In junior high there had been stories about screaming banshees and headless ghosts that lived in this music room, which was why it had been abandoned for so long. I had always laughed them off, but now that I was seeing the actual room... Let's just say it took a moment for me to gather my courage up enough to walk to the door and place my hand on the doorknob.
"Um, Rai?" Akashia asked, "That's probably not the best place to study."
I laughed nervously. "Kashi, you don't seriously think that it's haunted, do you? Those are just stories..." I trailed off. I think, I added to myself.
"No, that's not it-" she began as I pulled open the door. A mist obscured our view into the room, and my immediate thought was GHOSTS!!! Suffice to say I panicked a bit, dropping my books. And then the fog spoke.
"Why, look at our luck! Two new guests in one day, and pretty ones at that!"
Guests? I thought, What does that mean? My panicked mind jumped to conclusions. It means victims! We're going to die!
I screamed.
Akashia sighed. "This is why it isn't a good idea."
"You said there weren't any ghosts!" I replied, my voice high from nervousness.
"Ghosts?" said the fog-voice again, and I glanced back to see the mist clearing, forming humanoid shapes, and red rose petals drifted out towards us. "No, not ghosts, my dears. Welcome to the Host Club!"
"H-host club?" I asked uncertainly. "We're just looking for a place to study..."
The shapes had finally come into focus. Seven boys dressed as ninjas were clustered together in the center of a room set up like a dojo, if dojos had tables set up for tea.
"That's what Haruhi said, too!" exclaimed the same voice as before, which turned out to be the ninja sitting in the middle, whose hair appeared to be blond, from what I could tell from the bits sticking out. The second shortest ninja shuffled their feet and looked down at the ground, but the blond ninja continued as if they hadn't noticed. "Say... you wouldn't actually be guys, would you?"
"What?!" Akashi and I shrieked, in perfect unison.
"It was just after the similar way that you and Haruhi first entered the Host Club, I thought that perhaps you would be in a similar predicament, like how we thought she mrph mmph..." the rest of his sentence was lost as all the other boys clapped their hands over the blond's mouth.
Akashia and I stood there for a moment, wondering what the implications of this was, and then it hit us.
"You mean-" Akashia began.
"-Haruhi's a girl?" I finished.
We turned and grinned at each other. "Psychic mind connection!"
When we turned back to the group of boys - well, group of boys and the girl - some were looking at us quizzically, and some were still recovering from the fact that we had figured out the girl's secret. Or rather, just Blondie, as I began to think of him then, was.
The ninja-who-was-actually-a-girl spoke up. "Since you're new, you need to be introduced to everyone. I'm Fujioka Haruhi," she said, pulling off her mask. Haruhi then indicated two similar looking boys, who turned out to be identical twins when they had removed their masks, and as she said their individual names they nodded at us. "This is Hitachiin Hikaru and Hitachiin Kaoru, to their right is Ootori Kyoya," a dark haired boy with glasses glanced up briefly, "and to their left is Morinozuka Takashi."
The other dark haired boy looked up and removed his mask. "Call me Mori."
Haruhi gestured towards the corner where Blondie had gone off to sulk, and said, "That's Suoh Tamaki, don't pay attention to his mood swings, he'll be better soon."
"What about me, Haru-chan?" the smallest ninja exclaimed, jumping up and tugging on Haruhi's arm.
Haruhi smiled. "This is Haninozuka Mitsukuni, but call him Hunny. He is in high school," she continued as Akashia and I exchanged looks of disbelief that this small child would be a member of the host club.
"So he skipped a lot of grades?" asked Akashia.
Shaking her head, Haruhi replied, "No, Hunny's 17. He's one of the oldest here."
My jaw dropped, but Haruhi, unfazed, continued. "So now you know our names, but we don't know yours."
"I'm Hokkaido Akashia," said Akashia, after a brief pause.
"And I'm Kanaga Shiraishi," I said.
There was an awkward pause for a moment, as if no one knew what to say since the introductions were over, which was probably the case. Hunny broke the silence.
"Aka-chan! Shira-chan! Do you want some cake?"
We allowed Hunny to drag us over to one of the tables, exchanging a glance that said, "This kid cannot be 18."
"Do you want to split a cake? Cause I like cakes too, or there are the smaller ones, and we could each have a small one, which might be a good idea because it's hard to share the things on top of the bigger cakes, but if you want to share one, we probably could..." Hunny looked up at Akashia and I expectantly.
"Small cakes-" I said.
"-are fine," Akashia finished. We nudged each other in the side.
Hunny had just handed us each a cake - chocolate for me, vanilla for Akashia - when the doors opened once again and a group of squealing girls rushed in.
"See you!" waved Hunny, who skipped off towards a table where a small selection of girls rushed over and hugged him.
"What do we do now?" I whispered to Akashia, who shrugged.
"Pick a guy, maybe? This is a so-called 'host club...'"
"I guess... Do you care who?"
"Hunny is cute, but he's also technically 4, so I really don't know. Or care."
"Well-" I began, but turned at a little commotion behind us. The ninjas-who-were-twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, were encircled by a group of squealing girls. I couldn't really see what was happening, so I grabbed Akashia's sleeve and walked quickly over.
"...Hikaru, I'm fine, truly..." Kaoru and Hikaru were intwined together, and Hikaru seemed to be nursing a cut Kaoru had gotten on his finger.
"Kaoru, I can't bear to see you bleeding...your blood is my own, your pain mine."
"EEEEEEE!!!!" squealed the group of girls, and I surprised myself by joining in. The twins were gay, or at least acted gay, and I was hooked.
"Hikaru, it's not your pain, it's mine, I can endure this-" began Kaoru.
"But it hurts! It is my pain..." exclaimed Hikaru. By this time the cut had stopped bleeding - it had been, after all, no more than a scratch, but the twins obviously played the whole thing to their advantage. And it worked - I and the other squealing girls around me were proof.
"Brotherly love..." sighed one of the girls to herself.
Akashia coughed loudly, and I giggled.
"We're going with the twins!" I told Akashia quietly and she raised her eyebrows.
"Um... okay... I guess..."
"Kashi, I just think their whole 'We're twins, and we're gay for each other' thing is just super adorable. I know it's actually kinda weird and creepy and it's... like... twincest or something, but it's also just about the cutest thing that ever happened at this school. Apart from Hunny," I added, glancing quickly at the 4-year-old-who's-actually-17.
"You know, Rai, I actually agree with you," replied Akashia, "But it's still creepy."
I nodded. "Twins liking each other would be creepy enough, but guys twins acting gay for each other..." I shuddered. "And yet they manage to do it in such a cute way!" I did a little skip-jump-hop-thing into the air.
Akashia grinned. "Makes you wonder how much they practice every night."
"Oh, I've seen this sort of situation before," I said in my professor voice, "and studies have shown that while a pair of girl twins requires only half an hour of practice every morning to have the act turn out successfully, a pair of boys must spend a total of four hours throughout the day."
We cracked up.
"Why does that remind me of something?" Akashia said, pausing to catch her breath. It hit us both at the same moment.
"Our test!" we cried. I glanced at the clock and saw we only had a little bit of time to study and get to class.
We were at the door and ready to leave when we were jumped upon by a small-ish object, who turned out to be Hunny.
"Aka-chan! Shira-chan! Why are you leaving? You never ate your cakes!" he exclaimed, pointing accusingly at the table where we had set the confections down. "Do you not want them? I'll eat them if you don't!" Mori glanced up at him briefly, and Hunny quickly continued, "But if you want them, that's fine, and I can go get them for you, even though that's the last small chocolate cake left today and I only had one chocolate cake today and I usually have three, except I had four strawberry ones and I normally only have two of those, but I still kinda want some more chocolate..."
"You can have the cakes, Hunny," said Akashia - I was too busy trying to loosen Hunny's hold on my sleeve so we would have time to study.
"Yay!!!" Hunny skipped off in the direction of the cakes, and Akashia and I made our escape.

And then the world exploded.

AN: The world didn't actually explode, chill, it'll reform by the time we post the next chapter. So, thoughts? Please review!
