True Strength

Prologue: Glass


"Forgive my rudeness, but to hide your true self and make a vain display… I think that's just running away from reality. To know what you are really like, and acknowledge it… a positive thinking of enjoying yourself… isn't that what true strength is?"

- Suoh, Tamaki.


I smiled lightly as I shifted my scarf to cover my cold nose. I was bundled up from the frigid wind and a hot cup of chai in my hands. My gray cotton gloves kept my hands warm while my leather red jacket took care of the rest. My dark wash jeans stopped at my brown tennis shoes. My feet were probably the coldest section of my body, but I did not care.

I did not care because today was the day I found out that my brother was walking again. Though, the other part of my happines was most likely the part where I would be able to attend my dream University.

My name is Korinomaru, Nakaru. My name does not have some secret or special meaning unless you twist the kanji around, but than you have "middle exile" and I am nearly positive that this means nothing. I am the age of nineteen, birthday being the 27th of June. My hair is a dark chestnut that is straight down to my upper back with bangs that end above my brown eyes. My skin is a bit pale and my ears are pierced once.

I have a necklace with a piece of glass on the end. I hold it dear to me and it is my light. My strength, physically and emotionally, and my love. I hope to follow my dreams for those who cannot, to never run away from what is in front of me, and to remain positive about every action I make.


This is a Hunny story of course. The setting is the semester after the end of the regular Ouran series. I find it difficult to try and get a perfect match for the bubbly boy when he is still involved with the Host Club, mostly. Please give me feedback.

Also: This was inspired greatly from the episode with Chika in it. I found Tamaki's words to be very inspiring in some way and decided to start this miniseries. Thank you.
