My first story! Read, review, but most of all, ENJOY :)

CHAPTER 1- Haruhi's POV

"Meet the newest member of the Ouran High School Host Club!" said Tamaki. "Introducing… Ichiru!" he said with great enthusiasm. Behind Tamaki stood a guy, with shaggy black hair covering one eye. He was sort of tall. Maybe 6' 3"? And he looked like the "attractive to almost every girl" kind of guy.

I looked up from the Science book I was studying.

Why do we need another member?

"Ichiru, huh…?" said Renge, who appeared right next to me.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed, startled. "Where the heck did you come from?"

"Hush, Haruhi!" Renge commanded.

"Woof..." I gestured like a dog sarcastically. Renge glared at me furiously, but then went on talking.

"If he's going to be a member of the Host Club, then we have to determine his character type." She said, in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Do we have to do this now?" whined Hikaru.

"Yes! Now, shut up!" Renge exclaimed.

She's really harsh.

"Well he looks emo… or goth…" Kaoru said.

"No… not really…" I said.

"Really now?" Renge said angrily. If you're so smart, then what do you want him to be?"

"Well," I started. "He looks dark, but I wouldn't say he was emo. Or goth for that matter. And the girls always love a sensitive guy, so… How about the 'dark sensitive' type?"

"That's great!" Renge said. "I love it! Haruhi, you're almost as wonderfully smart as I am!"

Because you're SO not self centered…

"Well, if you will excuse me, I have important business to attend to," she said. Then Renge left us the usually way, by "powerful motor". Then Tamaki decided to introduce us all to Ichiru.

"Well," Tamaki said cheerily. "This is Honey." Then he pointed to Mori. "He's Mori. Those two boys over there, the twins, they're Hikaru and Kaoru. This is Kyoya. And the guy over there pretending like we don't exist is Haruhi."

"I'm not pretending that you don't exist, senpai," I said, rather irritated. "I'm reading."

"What book are you reading, Haru-chan?" Honey asked me curiously. "And what's it about?"

"It's about science," I replied. "It's not that interesting…"

"Then why are you reading it?" Honey asked.

He's got a point… Why am I reading this?

"Uhhhhh…" I said, searching for a reason why.

While I was dumbfounded, Ichiru spoke up.

"Why is there a girl in the Host Club?" he asked. Tamaki's jaw dropped.

"H-HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT SO QUICKLY?" he exclaimed. I figured he fell kinda dumb, seeing as he didn't figure it out nearly as fast as Ichiru did.

"It's simple, really. My great-aunt's name was Haruhi," said Ichiru.

"Well," the twins said. "Now that he knows our little secret, we have to make him swear to secrecy. Ichiru! Do you swear on your honor as a Host, to keep the secret of Haruhi's gender?"

"Don't worry," Ichiru said. "I'm good at keeping secrets."

"Is that supposed to be a good thing, or a bad thing?" I asked.

"You tell me…" he said. I could tell he was trying to weird me out.

Ugh… This guy's a wise guy… I don't like him already… I put down my science book, and I walked over to Tamaki.

"Hey, senpai," I said to Tamaki. "Why did you let this guy into to the Host Club anyway?"

"Why?" he replied, sounding disappointed. "Do you not like him?"

"Oh he's fine," I lied. "I'm just wondering…"

"Oh. Okay… Well, I let him join because he had too much time on his hands, and I thought he was a handsome young fellow, who'd make a great addition to the Host Club. Plus, he seemed like a nice guy."

Yeah… If by nice you mean weird…

It looked cloudy. I didn't like the looks of it. I hated thunderstorms. Thunder, lightning and I, don't really mix.

"I sure hope it doesn't rain…" I said. I then received a reassuring pat on the back from Mori.

You'll be okay, Haruhi." He said. I looked up and smiled at him.

"Thanks, senpai." I said. Then it started pouring suddenly. "I don't mind the rain; it's the thunder and lightning I don't like."

"Don't worry, Haruhi." The twins said in unison. "We'll be right here for you."

BOOM!

"AHHH!" I screamed. I clung to Kaoru, scared out of my mind. Then Ichiru spoke up.

"What's up with Haruhi?"

"She's frightened," Kyoya said.

"Of thunder and lightning?" asked Ichiru.

"That's right," said Hikaru.

BOOM!

I lost it.

"Please! Make it stop!" I cried. The twins hugged me tight.

BOOM!

I started to cry.

"Aww, don't cry, Haruhi, we're all here for you," said Kaoru. "Hey, everyone! Group hug!"

"Yay!" Honey yelled. Then everyone joined the hug.

Wow, I had no idea they cared this much.

Yay! My First Chapter is finally typed up! Thanks movielover9 for encouraging me to type this story up! Soon there will be more chapters… but until then, Ciao!
