Rumor Has It - Ouran HSHC Style

by mcangel1976

The grapevine is abuzz with rumors involving the hosts and people around them. I have gathered them together and I present them to you for your enjoyment... I mean warning... I mean pleasure... you know, it's whatever you want to call it. Who knows what is fact and what is fiction! Who cares what's real! (series of unconnected drabbles each less than 500 words).

1. Shadow King Cursed the Prince

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or its characters, but I do love using them in my fanfiction for everyone's enjoyment.

A/N: I was writing a story for Prince of Tennis which included a bunch of rumors and someone suggested I write a separate story with just rumors. I did that and each chapter was a rumor of 500 words or less. Anything went. I started talking to Oreobabez about doing one for Ouran, but I never did anything with it. As I wrapped up the PoT rumor story, I started to think about crazy rumors with the hosts and discussed it with her again, which she said I definitely had to do it. So here you go. If you have a rumor suggestion or would like a rumor about someone, you can put in a review or send by pm. Anything goes, even if it sounds outrageous. These are just rumors and not serious. If you want to see a pairing rumor, let me know. It can be anyone and anything. For example, one of the rumors was that one of the characters is bionic or that there is a torture chamber under two of the schools. Enjoy!

Rumor involving: Kyoya Ootori - aka the Shadow King, cool host, and vice president of the Host Club (although we know he is the one with the real power). Also involving: Tamaki Suoh - president of the Host Club and princely host, and comes up with outrageous schemes for his friends.

I don't know if this is true or not, I heard it from the grapevine mind you, but they do say there is some truth to every rumor… anyhoo, they say that when Tamaki stepped on Beelzenef, well they say it wasn't exactly an accident. Apparently, per the rumor, the twins stole it from Nekozawa and Kyoya took it away from them. Now the Shadow King wanted to see how his best friend would react, so he threw it in Tamaki's path and the Host Club King stepped on it and freaked out. Unbeknownst to the blond, Kyoya was recording everything that happened and even steered him in certain directions. For example, seeing Tamaki a bit dazed, the vice president delivered the blond to the beginning Greek class and then registered him for the marathon without his knowledge. Now it is also said that Kyoya asked Nekozawa to put a spell on Tamaki so that he would not come out of the trance for two days, which is why he woke up hurting and believing he had gone to the right class. Who knows if it is true, but it kind of makes sense. I mean, Kyoya is nicknamed the Shadow King.
