The Ouran High School Host Club is filled with very talented boys and one girl in disguise. They're known for being seductive, very wealthy, smart (yes, even Tamaki, who acts like an airhead most of the time), and let's not forget the obvious: handsome. What many fangirls don't know is that each of them possess a certain hidden skill that wasn't so apparent to everyone.

Plot idea created by MoonStarDuchess' Requested Drabbots


It was a boring day, at least in the minds of the Hitachiins as they were attending to their customers in the Host Club. It was one of those lethargic days in which the air was stagnant, and one would wish to get out and smell some fresh air. Unfortunately for the Host Club members, they had not planned such an outdoor excursion and were cooped up to entertain their guests. Any protests were thrown out the door at the sight of their vice president, Kyouya, who simply smiled in his mocking manner, waving a cell phone to the side.

"Ano…Hikaru-kun…is there anything that you can do that Kaoru can't do?" a squealing fangirl asked after the Hitachiin had both displayed their magnificent talents in deceiving their designators of their identities for the umpteenth time.

"Of course not…we're twins…" Kaoru replied reassuringly, smiling automatically at the fangirl.

"I'd have to say that Kaoru is right…although…there is one thing that Kaoru does that I can't do…non-academic wise of course." Hikaru said slyly, looking at his younger brother with mischievousness in his eyes. Kaoru immediately reddened his face in embarrassment.

"Hikaru…did you have to say that in front of everyone?" he said, shying his eyes away in a doe-like manner. He put his hand in front of his face to prevent everyone else from seeing his tomato face.

"But Kaoru…your talent is nothing to be ashamed of…" Hikaru said, pushing Kaoru's hand away, taking his chin in his hand and facing his brother's identical face.

"Ano…tell us, Kaoru-kun!" demanded the eager fangirls.

"No…it would be too embarrassing to show it in front of everyone…" Kaoru protested, reddening even further.

By now, their act had attracted attention from many of the other designators of the other Hosts. Customers looked curiously at the Hitachiin twins, in which Hikaru was trying to convince Kaoru to display his talent, but the latter would take no part in doing so.


"Wow, look at what great actors they've become!" Hunny remarked from aside as the five remaining hosts were seeing how this was to be played out.

"Oka-san! Those devilish Hitachiin twins are stealing my customers again!" Tamaki whined to the dark haired Ootori.

"If you had made more effort into entertaining your guests, you wouldn't be so easily, Tamaki." the cool calculated voice of Kyouya stated. Tamaki was reduced to a teary eyed expression at the insult thrown his way.

"I mean look at this…Haruhi…who hasn't been here as long as you have is fluctuating between being the second and third most designated." Kyouya added, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and sending Tamaki to his corner to sulk.

"Eh, is he going to be alright, Kyouya-sempai?" Haruhi asked, glancing over at Tamaki.

"He'll be fine, don't show anymore concern for him, lest he decides to latch onto you again." Kyouya warned Haruhi.

"Ahh! Haruhi! Daddy is most glad that you show compassion for him unlike Mommy here!" Tamaki proclaimed, glomping Haruhi at light speed.

"Nani! Get off me sempai!" Haruhi cried, struggling to free herself from Tamaki's grasp.

"Ah, Haruhi, I wouldn't wrinkle that suit if I were you, it costs 51,000 yen." Kyouya stated coolly as Haruhi shot him a glare of pure venom.

"Kyouya-sempai, I believe it's Tamaki-sempai who's ruining this suit!" Haruhi shot back as she managed to escape Tamaki's clutches. Kyouya sighed and sent her a 'Do you really want to argue with me?' look towards her, in which Haruhi growled in slight annoyance, mumbling 'rich bastards…' under her breath.

"Did you say something Haruhi?" Kyouya asked, fully knowing exactly what she said, his pen poised to add to her debt.

"Iie. I didn't say anything." Haruhi answered innocently. Kyouya merely snorted. They resumed watching the Hitachiin twin's 'act.'


"C'mon Kaoru…it's not that bad…you do it all the time!" Hikaru pleaded.

"But that was ages ago…and I only did it in front of you…" Kaoru pointed out.

Meanwhile, the surrounding fangirls had allowed their minds to wander a bit too far as they were witnessing this interlude. Some had even began fanning themselves frantically at the hidden meaning behind those words.

"No wait…don't you remember that time you did that in front of one of Oka-san's dinner parties…?" Hikaru asked. At this point, many fangirls had fainted dead away at the scandalous comment coming out of the elder Hitachiin's mouth.

"Ano…but do you recall afterwards how one of the adults came over to Oka-san and asked if I-I mean, if we were…" Kaoru stammered, trailing off, blushing. More squeals of 'moe' could be heard from the remaining fangirls.

"Ano, we're terribly sorry to cut this short…but Hosting hours have just ended and I do believe you all need to attend to your fallen classmates here…" Kyouya interjected suddenly. The fangirls looked slightly crestfallen at the sound of this.

"Don't worry, I'll personally make sure Kaoru shows you his 'hidden' skill next time!" Kyouya promised, with a scary look on his face. The other Hosts sweatdropped as he furiously scribbled in his notebook about the projected profits from this 'act.'


"Phew! Thanks so much for covering our backs there, Kyouya-sempai!" Hikaru sighed once all the fangirls had cleared out.

"Yeah, arigatou Kyouya-sempai!" Kaoru added gratefully.

"We'll be going now! Sayonara!" Kaoru said, turning towards the door to leave.

"Ano, I'm afraid that's quite impossible." Kyouya commented as the Hitachiin twins froze and turned around.

"You didn't really think I was going to let you go did you? Not without Kaoru showing us what his hidden skill was." Kyouya stated, 'Demon Lord' totally written in his face.

"Nani? You mean it wasn't an act?" Hunny chirped, eyes widening.

"Yeah, what are you talking about, Kyouya-sempai. This was an act." Kaoru bluffed nervously, his hand going towards his head. Kyouya chuckled sofly and narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, not quite. I'm impressed, you nearly had all of us convinced it was an act…but I'm afraid you can't get away this time." Kyouya said, smirking as Kaoru was caught with a 'deer in the headlights' look.

"You can't hold us up in here!" Hikaru cried, coming forth to defend Kaoru's side.

"I'm afraid I can. Mori, secure the exit if you please." Kyouya commanded as the silent host loomed over the doorway, blocking the Hitachiins from leaving. Kaoru took a glance at Hikaru and sighed.

"I suppose we have no choice…" Kaoru said defeated, as they walked back inside. Hikaru rummaged their supply closet until he found what he was looking for.

"Here." Hikaru said softly, placing a glass cup in the center of the table. The rest of the Host Club members stared blankly at the cup. Hikaru gave a reassuring look to his brother as Kaoru nodded. He proceeded to sing the scales and as his pitch heightened, the glass could be seen shaking and finally it cracked, along with Kyouya's glasses as well.

"Damn! I think that was higher than the last time you sung!" Hikaru cried in amazement.

"Very impressive, however, you will be owing me a new pair of glasses." Kyouya commented, putting his now broken glasses away.

"Wow Kaoru-kun! I didn't know you could do that!" Hunny beamed at the younger Hitachiin twin as Kaoru reddened. Mori nodded silently in agreement.

"Why don't you join choir, Kaoru?" Haruhi asked curiously.

"Ano…Hikaru and I have always had the same classes together, plus it's not something I show publicly…" Kaoru explained.

"Still…that's quite a talent…" Haruhi murmured quietly to herself, but Kaoru heard it none the less.

"Well now, we'll be going!" Hikaru proclaimed with a slight touch of impatience and also slight jealousy at the sudden attention given towards Kaoru. He tugged at Kaoru protectively as they made their way out.


"How do you know they were acting, Kyouya-sempai?" Haruhi asked curiously, moments after everyone else had left but themselves.

"I just do." Kyouya replied, with a slight shrug. Haruhi smiled and laughed.

"Is this your hidden skill, Kyouya-sempai?" Haruhi asked, her eyes twinkling. Kyouya gave a brief smile.

"Iie, mine's is nothing like that." Kyouya replied mysteriously as the pair walked out of Music Salon No. 3.


A/N: Ahh, I know I should have been working on Shipwrecked, but this idea caught my eye as I was reading from MoonStarDuchess' Requested Drabbots. She did a series of shorts about secret talents in Fullmetal Alchemist, and I decided to write one about Ouran, featuring Kaoru instead of my usual KyouxHaru fanfics. Kaoru has always struck me as the softer, more demure twin, and his slightly more feminine voice led to the fitting of this plot lol. I may or may not continue the idea of 'hidden skills' depending on my creativity flow.

Many thanks to those of you who have read this short, and I'm sorry for those of you anticipating Shipwrecked. My spring break's over and I'm back at school now, so I don't always have so much time to update, but a new chapter of Shipwrecked should be out around this weekend, so read around for that! Once again, thank you so much for reading, and please take the time to comment!
