I do not claim nor own Ouran High School Host Club. The idea belongs to Faithful5 as does the OC (sort of- I get confused).

Prologue:

Mia:

I could barely see from my blonde bangs being in my golden eyes, but I didn't really mind. To me, it was just another thing to hide behind. Pulling the sleeves of my dark blue sweater down even more, I continued walking from where they dropped me off.

I finally stopped in front of a large tall dark building. Taking a deep breath, I calmly walked through the doors only to be greeted by a woman. She was taller than me (which was saying something since I was about six feet despite my age) and she had long gray hair and gray eyes. She smiled warmly,
"You must be Mia Carter, correct?"

I nodded shyly, not bothering to reply. The woman continued to smile,
"Ah, a shy one then," I blushed and she chuckled, "Nothing wrong with that dear. Welcome to Shinto Orphanage."

I found my feet more interesting and I only looked up when the woman put a hand on my shoulder,
"Call me Tsuki. I'm the owner and I am sure you will like it here. Let me know when you need anything."
She started to leave but I walked up to her and refused to make eye contact,
"What…what about school?"

She ruffled my hair and I felt my face heat up at the contact.
"I heard you're the smart one," she winked, "you'll be starting high school at Ouran Academy."
"But-but-," I stuttered, "I'm supposed to start high school next year…"
She smiled,
"Ah, but you tested really well- quite the accomplishment actually. You should be really proud. Oh! Your room is upstairs, first door to the left! And I can't get you a uniform since you're there on a scholarship and…we don't have the money for it," she gave me a sheepish smile before she disappeared into another room.
Scholarship? I gulped, that means most likely it's a prosperous school- all the rich kids. Great- another reason I won't fit in. I followed her directions though and headed up the stairs to the second floor. This orphanage was a lot nicer than the one I had went to in America.

I had moved to Japan because of a transfer system that the orphanages had going on. I guess it was more like 'hey, these kids aren't getting adopted here, maybe they'll get adopted there!' Either way, I wasn't complaining. I had to be the one to go- I was the only one that knew Japanese after all.

I continued on into my room and looked around. It was very big, spacious, and pretty nice. There were a few beds there- about three. Two people were already there- two little kids. One was a girl who had long black hair and bright green eyes. Her pale skin had a lot of freckles. She looked to be about maybe two years old. The other was a girl, who had black hair in pigtails and blue eyes. She seemed maybe five or four. I looked at them and smiled- I liked kids more than I did other people.

I knelt down and smiled as the two overcame their shyness and tackled me in a hug.

"I'm Mia," I said smiling, "what's your names?"
The girls blushed,
"Chi."
"Ami."
I smiled. Maybe some good will come out of this- I might make some friends…
