I don't own the anime, even though Tamaki and I are married :)
"Are you ready for your first mission?"
Haruhi looked up at the person that was talking to her. "Yes," she half-lied. It wasn't that she wasn't ready for her mission, she knew she was. There was no way that all those years of training hadn't prepared her for mission. No, that wasn't it. It was that she didn't want to go right now. She was almost afraid. What if she messed up and ended up disappointing all those that had so much faith in her. Haruhi wasn't the one to doubt herself, but at the moment she wasn't feeling too confident either.
"Then stand."
Haruhi did as she was told. She stood next to the one person she'd ever loved. Her tutor, or Sensei if you will, had been there since she had been created. She's trained her, taught her and had never forsaken her. Sensei was all she knew, other than God and the other angels. She'd taught her what her job was, and if she wanted to make Sensei proud then she'd do her job the right way.
Everyone gathered around as Sensei opened the portal to the other world, to Earth. As she did she said to Haruhi, "Haruhi, as you already know, your mission is to help the six boys you've been assigned to. You already know their problems, right?"
Haruhi nodded, "Yes Sensei."
"Good. Then when you're done with them, you can come back here to me and await your next mission." With that, Sensei smiled. She didn't want Haruhi to go, but she knew that that was how it had to be. Every teacher missed their pupils when they graduated. It was no different with Haruhi. But she couldn't help but think that she'd miss Haruhi a bit more than her other students...
The portal was fully open and everyone smiled and nodded at Haruhi. A feeling Haruhi couldn't quite describe washed over her. All she knew was that this was it...this is what she had been created for. She'd fulfill her destiny without any problems, she knew it.
"Haruhi," Sensei said. She took Haruhi's hand and dropped the most beautiful necklace Haruhi had ever seen inside her hand. It wasn't beautiful because it had diamonds and jewels decorating it; it had none of those. But it was because it was plain and simple, or at least in Haruhi's opinion. It had a glow about it that made Haruhi's heart jump.
"Thank you," Haruhi said. She turned back to the portal, a serious expression placing on her face. "Goodbye everyone. See you all later." Haruhi didn't wait for a reply. She let her body drop into the portal and soon found herself falling. But as she fell she wasn't afraid. She knew she'd be alright, even if it seemed she was going at the speed of light. She slowly closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.
(Days Later)
Haruhi groaned and rolled over. She blinked and rubbed her eyes until her vision was no longer blurry. Then she looked up into the sky. It was light blue, no sign of rain or anything, not a cloud in the sky. Then she looked up at the bright sun. She'd never seen it for herself before and found that she couldn't look at it for too long. "Alright Haruhi...you'll be able to do a bit of sight seeing later. For now you have to find the boys."
That wasn't too hard of a job since she found that she already was close to them. She'd been laying in a tree. Carefully, she climbed down from it and started the walk towards Ouran Academy, where she had a hunch the boys would be. And if they weren't there, then she find one of their houses. She'd been quizzed over and over by Sensei until she knew exactly where each of their homes were located and where their favorite hang-out spots were. It was only a matter of time before she found at least one of them. She looked down and saw that her necklace was securely fastened to her neck. Before she came upon Ouran, she touched it. It glowed, as if letting her know that everything would be alright.
Entering Ouran proved to be easy. As soon as she set foot on the area a teacher said, "Fujioka-kun, you'd better hurry and get to class."
"Ah...hai..." Haruhi said. She hurried and rushed into the building. Then she walked around until she found the class that she felt like was meant for her.
"Class, this is the new student, Fujioka Haruhi-kun," the teacher introduced her. Haruhi immediately spotted the twins. They were sitting as if class was the most boring thing in the world. But Haruhi felt at peace with the teacher standing next to her as if she was her old Sensei she had left behind. When the teacher instructed her to sit in a seat that was fairly close to the twins' Haruhi did as she was told.
She decided not to make her move on the Hitachiins yet, she'd just observe for now. All through class whenever Hikaru and Kaoru said something a girl would swoon. When they weren't joking around they looked just plain bored and sat there, whispering to each other or having dejected expressions on their identical faces.
At lunch time, Haruhi got to observe all of the Hosts. They seemed happy enough, if you could call it that with Tamaki blowing up at the twins every five minutes. Later on, Haruhi decided to go right down all she had seen and heard from the boys that she was supposed to be helping. She told some people that she was going to go "study." But she didn't know where she'd be able to get some peace and quiet. When she passed a certain door her necklace glowed. She sighed and decided to just check out that room to see if it would serve her purposes.
That's when the rose petals flew out. "Welcome." the six voices said simultaneously. Haruhi immediately recognized all of their voices. In her surprise of coming into them, when she hadn't meant to, Haruhi suddenly felt nervous. What was she going to say? She wasn't prepared for this yet.
She heard Tamaki say something about gay customers and before she knew it she was getting introduced to everyone. Tamaki rubbed her chin, startling her beyond all belief. She backed up and told them that she was just trying to find somewhere to study. Then it happened. She broke the vase.
The next few days passed in a blur, the decision that she would be their 'dog', her working for them, them taking her glasses off, the twins making her change clothes and doing her hair, her working as a host, everyone finding out that she was actually a girl. But Haruhi didn't care. At least now, as a host she'd have a chance to really get to know them, get them to trust her. Then she'd take her time with them. She would have to with these idiots.
Haruhi sighed as she bought the apartment that she would be staying at for awhile. Her necklace had done that funny glowing thing, as somehow she was able to convince the landlord that even though her parents weren't staying with her, everything would be fine. 'So this is how it's going to be...' Haruhi thought. 'This may be harder than I thought it would be.'
