This is my first ever fanfic so I'm sorry if it's not good :/ I've had this story in my head but just didn't know how to put it into words, so I hope this story goes the way I play it in my head.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran although I wish I did sometimes :)

EDIT: Spelling/grammar mistakes fixed and sentence structure may have changed slightly

The wind blew a gentle breeze as Claudia walked up the stairs to her cousin's place. Her deep red hair blew behind her shoulders and her dress clung to her thighs as the breeze grew stronger. She knocked on the door. It opened and she saw her uncle, causally dressed and shorts and in a t-shirt.

"Uncle, I'd thought you'd be in a dress." she smirked.

"Oh dear me, I must have forgotten." he laughed as he stepped aside. She walked in and was pulled into a hug.

"Haruhi…" Claudia gasped.

Haruhi hesitantly let go, "It's been so long Claudia."

"Well then…" Ranka wrapped his arms around them both, "shall we go? You have to tell us about America."

She smiled as she was let to the living area. The girls sat down and Ranka disappeared into the kitchen. Once Ranka returned, Claudia told them all about America, her dance classes and family. She had also brought them presents.

"For you uncle." she smiled as she gave him a small velvet box. He opened it to find a delicate rose gold locket and inside a picture of him, Kotoko, Haruhi, Claudia, Ruki, her mother and her father, Ranka's brother. The picture was taken a festival when she and Haruhi were much younger.

"Claudia…" he said as he hugged her, "I love it."

"And for you, Haruhi." Claudia handed her a bigger box. Haruhi gasped as she pulled out the latest laptop.

"Thank you!" Haruhi hugged Claudia. She smiled and showed Haruhi how to use it.

Later that night, Claudia went home and got ready for bed. Her older brother came into her room just as she got into bed.

"How are Uncle Ranka and Haruhi?" he asked sitting down across from her.

She looked at her brother and smiled, "They're fine. Haruhi told me about her friends at school and uncle told me about his new job, nothing really big."

"Oh! She told you about the Host Club?" he asked.

"Huh?" Claudia looked at her brother confused, "She didn't mention anything about that."

Ruki's lips lifted upwards into a smile, "You'll find out tomorrow then."

He softly kissed her forehead goodnight and walked out of the room.

'Okay, I'm scared now…'

She lay down and closed her eyes wondering what her brother was talking about.

'Host Club?'

Claudia soon fell asleep wondering about this. Little did she know what lay for her tomorrow…

I hope you liked the first chapter. I'm sorry if it's short but i will get better i promise :)
