.... I have nothing to say...
I Do not own Ouran High School Host Club.
"Keiko, wanna come with me to the host Club?" A young girl asked her best friend.
"Well… I don't know Tasha. I just got back to Ouran a week ago! I'm still trying to get used to it." The girl replied. Tasha brushed a curtain of silky black hair from her face.
"Well, what better way to learn more about the school than conversing with the most beautiful boys and some awesome girls? Come on! When your sister marries that diplomat, you'll need to know a few things about being social. Please?" Her usually playful violet eyes became pleading.
Keiko's green ones were caught up by them. She tried to bend her will into saying no, but those eyes just wouldn't let her. She sighed in defeat. "Fine, you win. But If I don't want to, I'm not going to be a permanent guest." She said. Tasha squealed and gave her a death hug. "If I can't breathe I can't go!" Keiko yelled. Her friend jumped off of her and skipped away.
"The club starts in fifteen minutes! At music room three!" She called.
Keiko sighed and tucked some curly red hair behind her ear. "Music room three." She repeated, looking at her watch. "Fifteen minutes." She looked down the hall and jumped. The sign above the door read 'Music room #3'
"Excuse me," A voice asked. She turned around. A young boy stood there. He had short brown hair and big brown eyes. "But are you a guest of the host club?"
"Well, not yet." Keiko fixed her skirt and peered at him. "Are you a member?" He smiled and nodded his head.
"Yup. I'm Haruhi Fujioka." He extended a hand. She shook it.
"I'm Keiko Takahashi. Please to meet you." The redhead replied. 'Wow… Tasha wasn't kidding when she said "The most beautiful boys". But she could've added charming.'
Haruhi looked at his watch. "Well, the club starts pretty soon. No point in waiting around. Would you like to come meet the other hosts before the club starts?" He asked.
"Sure!" She gave a cute smile, which he matched.
"Okay! Follow me, Keiko." He motioned for her to follow as he passed, his leg brushing her dress. 'Damn these oversized skirts…'
She followed close behind and watched as he opened the door, motioning for her to go. She took one step toward the open door and watched as soft, red rose petals blew out gently.
"Welcome." A group of voices greeted. The bright light that had been there before slowly disappeared. It revealed a group of utterly gorgeous boys. Two blondes, two redheads, and two boys with black hair. The taller blonde stood up as she stepped closer, a little nervous.
"Well, it seems as though we have a new guest." He said. Then he extended a welcoming hand to Keiko. "Come now, princess, don't be shy. We aren't going to hurt you." The girl stepped into the room, her eyes downcast as if to contemplate whether or not to stay. The blonde put two fingers beneath her chin and lifted her head up. "Now, what's your name, my dear?"
She took a breath and straightened herself up. "I'm Keiko Takahashi." He smiled.
"Well, princess, I'm Tamaki. Welcome to the host club." He slipped an arm around her shoulder and thrust a dramatic hand to the other boys. "Now, tell me what kind of guys you're into."
He pointed to the tallest. "The strong, silent type?" The shortest. "Or the boy-Lolita type?" The twins. "The little devil type?" The boy with glasses. "The Calm, cool and collected type?" He then pointed to Haruhi. "Maybe the natural type." Keiko smiled inwardly. "Or, perhaps," He brought his face close to her's. "You're into a guy like me." With that, she jerked away.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly here for the host experience. My friend just dragged me into this. She's been a guest here before, Tasha Hiroto?" The tallest boy's eyes glistened.
"Yes, Miss Hiroto." The boy in glasses opened his notebook. "Her parents work closely with the Morinozuka family, correct Mori-senpai?" The tallest boy nodded. "And correct me if I'm wrong, but their only daughter has been set up on an arranged marriage. Have you any idea with whom, Senpai?" He pushed his glasses up on his nose.
Mori blushed lightly. Keiko smiled. 'So that's why Tasha comes to the host club. Her fiancé is a member!'
"Well, if she doesn't want to stay we can't keep her here, can we Tama- chan?" The shortest boy asked, hugging a stuffed bunny. Tamaki ran a hand through his hair.
"That's true, Honey-senpai." He said simply. "So princess," He looked into the redhead's green eyes. "Will you stay, or will you go?" She looked around the room slowly, starting at Haruhi and landing on the twins, who'd been staring at her since she'd entered music room 3. Upon making eye contact with each of them she finally smiled.
"I… guess I'll stay." She said. Tamaki bowed.
"Well then, you are now an official guest of the host club." He said. The boy and glasses walked up.
"My name's Kyoya Ootori." He bowed elegantly. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Takahashi."
She giggled and gave a little curtsy. "The pleasure's all mine, Senpai." She said. She then turned to Mori. "I know you. Tasha's always been telling me of the wonderful Takashi Morinozuka- senpai. Or, just Mori- senpai, I take it." At his nod, she turned to Honey. "She's also mentioned you, Mitskuni Haninozuka- senpai. More commonly known as Honey-senpai. Correct?" He gave a wide smile.
"That's right, Keiko-chan!" He exclaimed. She now turned to Haruhi.
"As for Haruhi, I met him in the hallway."
But now, Honey wasn't paying attention. "Hika-chan, Kao-chan, aren't you gonna introduce yourselves to Keiko-chan?" He asked the twins at the other end of the room.
"Oh, no need, Honey- senpai." Keiko interrupted. She looked at the twins, who both looked back at her with looks of total surprise. "We already know each other."
Gasps sounded all around the room. "Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. We met in middle school just before I left for America. Hikaru, if your brother doesn't remember me, you certainly should." He solemnly nodded, remembering quite well what he knew her for.
She smiled brightly. "You two seem to have changed quite a bit!" A wink. "You aren't messing with peoples' minds anymore, are you?" This time Kaoru smiled and walked over to her.
"But it's too fun!" He opened his arms. She smiled and hugged him.
"Nope. Not a bit."
They pulled out of the hug as Hikaru walked over and gently touched the white lily in her hair. His eyes locked with her smoky emeralds.
She looked the same as she had two years ago. Okay… maybe a little taller. But she had the same curled hair, the same charming freckles, and her most well known feature- The white lily.
Needless to say, looking at her really took him back.
FLASHBACK TIME!!!!!
Two years back, Ouran middle school building.
"Hey, looks like she's here, Hikaru." Kaoru stated, looking out the window at a pillar. A young redhead stood there in the middle school uniform. Her hair was let down and curly, a white lily tucked behind her ear. His twin sighed.
"This is getting old. Don't these girls ever learn?" He asked, standing up. "Well, let's go, then."
They walked down to where the girl was, Hikaru holding the letter found on his desk. He'd fixed his hair so that it was all pushed off to the left, like Kaoru's was. Now, he was speaking to the young girl.
"So, you wrote this letter, huh?" He asked, holding the note up between two fingers. The girl nodded. "Well, I'm afraid you go my desk mixed up with Hikaru's." She looked crushed. "But… you're kind of a pretty thing." He let out a little smirk. "You know, if you want, you could have me." Her eyes stared into his.
Then she turned away. "I'm sorry." She said simply, her voice firm. "But I love Hikaru. I don't care how much alike you look, I can only love one of you." She cast a little glance at the boy in front of her. "And If I can't confess that before I leave…." She wiped away a tear that formed in her eye. "Then I guess I never will." She placed a hand on her heart. "Because it's the inside that counts." She looked up at him.
"Surely you should know that, Kaoru Hitachiin."
Hikaru jumped. She turned and walked away. "By the way, my name's Keiko Takahashi. When you're done messing with peoples' minds, look me up."Tossing a careless wave over her shoulder, she disappeared from view.
Kaoru walked out from behind a tree and over to his twin. He placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hikaru….. That's the first time…." Hikaru stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Yeah…" He stated, still really surprised. "I know."
And neither of them forgot that name.
Soon after that, Keiko transferred out of Ouran and Tamaki transferred in. So now, instead of dealing with a straight 'A' student, they were dealing with a, in theirs and many other opinions, clueless idiot.
End flashback.
Yup. That's how it'd happened. And believe me when I say that Keiko Takahashi and Hikaru Hitachiin never, in their wildest dreams, thought that they would ever see each other again.
