Welcome to 'Caged' a little fanfic for OHSHC and all it's wonderful characters! Point of view will remain in third person but shall switch back and forth between my own two characters; Lynny and Ann (though not as much).
Also; I do not own OHSHC, its characters or the plot. I only hold control over Lynny and Ann!
Oh, and; anything in bold and with lines on either side is a POV change, flashback or time skip. If it confuses you I'm willing to change it.
-Lynny's POV-"Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odors, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is de-"
"Lynny, would you please stop reading for a moment?" My voice stopped at the sound of the teacher and the telephone that rang next to her. She gave a small smile and nod at my choice in poetry as she picked up the phone.
"Uh-uh. Yes. Of course, send them in! Thank you, goodbye." The conversation was short, sweet, and to the point. Mrs. Lewis put down the phone and spoke towards the class. Her wrinkled face smiled at each and every face as she scanned the room.
"It appears the transfer students we were expecting have arrived. Three will be finding their place in our classroom. Everybody be kind, alright?" The small cluster of private school students nodded and murmured their promise of good behavior. Though, excitement of new students did make their energy perk up.
"Ah. And Lynny you may take your seat." I did a dramatic curtsey before leaving the front of the room for my seat in the left of the room. Next to my seat sat Ann who gave a gentle smile and whispered to me.
"You did good. Too bad you couldn't finish…I've always loved Percy Shelley." I just smiled at her sweet remark. Ann was that shy girl whom couldn't seem to hate anyone. Perhaps that was what made her my best and only friend.
No one in this private school held much heart for adventure. The only one who'd put up with my mindless tricks and riddles was Ann. Everybody else was to busy planning their future as lawyers, doctors, and governments officials. Dumb rich kids (though of course, being rich myself I have no right to talk.)
Imagine my surprise when seven of the most interesting characters appeared at our private school in Maine. And from rich families in Japan no less.
Three of them happened to walk into our classroom door. The first two where red-headed twins with the most mischievous aura about them. Their arms where linked and everything about them screamed trouble. The other was a short brown haired boy with the most feminine face I've ever seen on a guy.
"Everyone," our teacher began," these lovely new students are visiting all the way from Japan. These two happen to be-" Her sentence was cut off by the twin on the left.
"I'm Hikaru and this is Kaoru !" Mrs. Lewis didn't seem to mind. In fact, she didn't even care about the girls all over the room when they began to twitter about the boys. The brunette seemed a little less loud about his entrance.
"I'm Haruhi." Wow, he was so short. And this was coming from one of the shortest girls in the school. I glanced over to tell Ann and noticed her cheeks had gone a bright red. Both blue eyes of hers where focused on Haruhi in a love-struck gaze. Oh, boy.
-Ann's POV-
He was so handsome and sweet sounding. For some reason my stomach was sent into a flutter and it felt like my heart was bound to beat right out my chest! Perhaps I was sick?
"Ann. Ann. Annie Michelle Jones!" I glanced over to Lynny who appeared to have been screaming my name for the last five seconds.
"Er, sorry. What is it?" I fiddled with my thumbs; slightly embarrassed that Lynny had caught me in such a state.
"Oh nothing. Just wondering what you though of the new guys." I glanced back to the three boys and almost had a panic attack when I noticed Haruhi was headed right towards me.
"Oh, erm. Hello." He smiled in reply and gave a nod of greeting as he sat next to me. I didn't even notice that the teacher had pointed to the only three empty seats in the room. The two behind me and Lynny and of course, the one next to me.
"I'm Haruhi. Nice to meet you." His accent was very noticeable. Obviously, he hadn't been speaking English for very long.
"I'm An-Annie. But p-please call m-me Ann!" I stuttered out. Oh, he probably thought I was an idiot.
-Lynny's POV-
Poor Ann. She was in a panic over that Haruhi kid. I watched her twist her hair and bend her head trying to look anywhere but his eyes. The girl was love struck.
I let out a silent giggle and jumped at the sound of someone whispering in my ear from behind. The warm breath tickled and I shrugged away.
"What's so funny?" The voice definitely held an accent however it was almost not existent. I turned and found myself face to face with one of the twins.
He had a huge grin that almost made me want to smile in return. Almost. The fact he was so close set me straight and I moved away a little. The teacher didn't notice I was basically facing backwards as she talked. That or she ignored it.
"Ah, it's nothing." The boy nodded though he knew it wasn't just 'nothing.'
"I'm Hikaru and that's Kaoru. Who might you be?" His eyes were glued to mine in an almost creepy way. I fought the urge to glance away and instead held eye e contact. It was almost like a challenge of will; one that I wouldn't back down from.
"I'm Lynsey Reece. But you have the pleasure of calling me Lynny." I made this sound as smug as possible and even added a smile. Whatever game they wanted to play, I wouldn't bite.
He just grinned and murmured something my way before turning to his brother who sat behind and to the right of me. Both of them laughed and glanced at me before turning their attention towards the teacher. Nothing good would come from this group, I was positive. But maybe that's just what this quiet little school needed.
_Time Skip_
"Ne, Lynny and her friend!" Ann and I turned to the sound of Japanese accents. The twins were dragging along their friend Haruhi in our direction.
"Her names Ann and it's polite to know the names of your classmates." I commented before turning my back on the trio. Ann gently tugged at my sleeve.
"That's a tad bit mean don't you think? They just got here." I sighed with defeat. Ann was so darn nice. It made it hard to be mean.
So we waited till the trio caught up and Ann smiled in greeting. Her eyes moved nervously from the twins and how their arms linked with Haruhi. These people were so touchy-feely.
"Er, hello!" Ann chirped cheerfully. The twins grinned dangerously and moved closer to Ann.
"What a pleasure! She sure is pretty isn't she Kaoru?" One twin whispered to another. Suddenly, the one he spoke to, Kaoru, let his face drop into a pout.
"Cuter than me Hikaru?" Before you knew it they were entangled in each other's arms and murmuring things like 'of course not.' And I like you best'. Twincest. Glancing over I noticed Ann turn a brilliant red.
"No Ann! Don't look! Their shredded innocence shouldn't be your burden!" I covered Ann's eyes and glared at the twins. How dare they fill her mind with such images!
I was about to recover with a nasty comment but was cut short with another voice.
"How could you devil twins! These princess are much more complex than the ones at home!" A tall blonde stranger was suddenly on his knee in front of Ann and I. First he kissed the top of her hand and than mine.
"Why! Such brilliance would not fall for such horrid display of lost innocence! You should be ashamed for even thinking such a thing!"
So far all I was hearing was "blah blah blah" princess "blah blah blah" complex "blah blah blah" brilliance. But with such nice comments I was rather pleased. Now that's what I liked to hear!
"Hear that Ann? He thinks we're princesses! And brilliant ones at that! I could like this guy!"
"Stupid Tono. I think they rather enjoy our company. After all, Ann really likes Haruhi and Lynny can't seem to help but fall for our charm." I almost punched him!
You never say a girl's feelings for her. Especially, for someone like Ann who can't admit to them. And I let the comment about me slide by. I'd get them for it later.
"W-wah?" I heard Ann stutter. Her hands suddenly went up to cover her blushing face and wave frantically.
"L-like Haruhi? That's s-silly. We just m-met." Haruhi nodded in that way only dull boys could.
"You guys are crazy. You can't just assume things like that."
I could already feel my irritated twitch beginning. If this group didn't get out of my face…
"Who are you anyways? Another transfer student?" I pointed towards the tall blonde. Suddenly, he was standing straight and than going into a bow.
"Ah, I apologize for not introducing myself earlier! My name is Tamaki Souh! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
I gave a mocking curtsy and Ann nodded.
"I'm Lynny and this is Ann."
Tamaki's eyes widened.
"Such unusual and exotic names! They suit you two very much." Though, for American names they weren't so strange.
Man, this guy laid on the compliments. Not that I minded. Scanning the four new students I spotted more figures in the distance. They were all rushing towards our current location.
"God, do the transfer students have a tracking device or something? Lets leave before they gather!" I nudged at Ann and attempted to pull her a few steps back. Instead we bump up against the twins .
"Planning on leaving? You haven't even met the Host Club yet!"
Host Club? What the hell was that? Before I had the chance to ask I was tackled in a hug.
"Wah! A short American! I thought they were all really tall!" Now this was offending. Sure, I was shorter than your average American and was only a few inches above this little kid but….
"What's an elementary student doing here?" I pushed the tiny blonde off me and into the tall figure that was watching him like a parent would.
"Silly! I'm eighteen and in High School!" My mouth dropped and I glanced towards Ann.
"Think he's kidding? I wager fifty bucks that it's a hoax." Ann wasn't usually into betting so she just shook her head.
"I'm not betting, Lynny. No way. Your always right when it comes to betting money." This seemed to catch another student's interest. Glasses hid his eyes but I could tell there was something dark about this one.
"Something interesting four-eyes?" Ann tugged at my sleeve and gave a harsh whisper.
"Lynny! Don't be so mean!" The dark haired guy only smirked and pushed his glasses further up his nose.
"Your quit a character aren't you Lynsey Reece? But shouldn't you be nicer to the people your hosting?"
"How'd you know my name! And hosting? What does that-" I cut short when I remembered a comment my father made earlier this morning.
_Flash Back_
"Dear, some guests of the family are going to stay here for awhile. It appeared that some friends wanted their kids to have an American experience. Since our estate is so big I offered them a place to stay."
Of course, this was all happening as I was firmly half asleep at the dining room table. I almost missed the most important part.
"You'll be leading them back to the house from you high school. They will also be attending there."
_End Flash Back_
"So that's what dad was blabbering on about this morning!" I realized.
Ann just shook her head and frowned at me.
"How could you not remember Lynny?" I just shrugged and scanned my guests. A small file appeared in my brain with a summary of our current standing.
Hikaru and Kaoru;; Demon twins that almost ruined Ann and her innocence. Must be silenced.
Haruhi;; Ann's current crush. Looks like a chick. Maybe he's gay?
Tamaki;; Knows how to give out complements and is rather attractive. Better not touch me again if he doesn't want to lose his hand though.
Four-eyes;; His smirk pisses me off and he'd rather stalker-ish. If he goes into my room I'll kill him. (Also slightly handsome. Slightly.)
Blonde kid;; Still don't know a name. I'll prove he isn't in high school and get my fifty bucks. Eventually.
Tall, dark, and fatherly;; If he wasn't so tall and quiet I might like him. I'm kind of scared he'll eat me though. (Best not get on his bad side)
So, that's how I'll end this chapter. If I made a mistake please tell me! (I'd also enjoy some pleasant comments ;D wink wink nudge nudge)
I'm still deciding on character pairings with Lynny and Ann…I'm leaning towards Kaoru or Kyoya for Lynny. Probably, Kaoru.
And maybe Mori for Ann. I think that'd be cute.
Anywho, bye for now :3
