So this is my first attempt to write for Ouran High School Host Club. I have writen other FanFics over in the Tales of Symphonia section, but this will be different for me. I've never written a FanFic where the focus is romance, not adeventure. But I hope that you like it!
I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. It belongs to Bisco Hatori. So don't sue me!
On the top floor of the south wing,
At the end of the north hallway,
The doors open,
To an empty, unused music room
I guess I should explain how I got here in the first place. You see, I was at home watching Ouran High School Host Club on YouTube before I had to go to school. My parents were going to give me ride because there was a huge thunder storm outside. All of a sudden, there was this huge flash of lightning. The screen of my computer went all white, and it got brighter and brighter until I couldn't see anything. When I opened my eyes, I found myself staring at the 'peeing statue' out in the front courtyard of Ouran academy.
Maybe I should tell you about my life before all of this happened. You see, I'm not a very likable person to the rest of the students at my school. I am a nice, caring person who would never let a dear friend do anything dangerous, but because I thrive on living by the rules the school has set out, people didn't like me. People thought all I cared about was getting good grades. And that I didn't have a life outside school. I did. They just didn't know I did. I'd spend more time of video games over the weekend than homework. I would get up at six in the morning just to sit at the computer and write stories or watch stuff on YouTube. People didn't know me. I was now sixteen years old. I did find friends at my school after my best friend, Janessa moved away. She was the best, in fact, she was the one who showed me the first episode of Ouran High School Host Club to me and predicted that I would get addicted to it. She was right. She had also introduced me to my favorite game of all times 'Tales of Symphonia' for the GameCube. I could never forget such a great person, even after she moved. But I had new friends now, and I happy again. But I had never expected to end up at Ouran Academy on my last day of school.
I was totally lost. I had no clue where to go, what to do, or even what to say. So I just stood there in my blue t-shirt, short-sleeved white hoodie, and favorite pair of denim jeans like an idiot (or Tamaki if you will). The silver cross with fake blue gems that hung around my neck sparkled in the sunlight. I looked up to the clock tower. 2:45 it read; almost time for the Host Club to open. I wonder if they're cosplaying today.....
I couldn't believe how big Ouran Academy was. The only other time I had been to a place this large was when I went to Otafest in Calgary and I had three different maps with me. Here, I had nothing. By calculating that the sun was to the west, I was able to find the south wing and made my way to the north hallway. There was the sign over the door that read 'Music Room #3'. This must be the place. I looked down at my right wrist. The silver watch with the lotus flower on its face said 3:01. The Host club should be here by now. I reached out and grabbed the same door handle that Haruhi, Kaoru and Shiro had all grabbed before me. On a burst of courage I pushed the door open, to find that the room was dead empty. Um...maybe Tamaki is still in middle school, or France. There was no one there. I looked up at the sign just incase. 'Music Room #3' Yep, I have the right place. The sound of foot steps echoing down the hall caught my interest. Shit! Someone's coming! I closed the door behind me and locked it. One of the hosts should have a key. Looking frantically around the massive room I tried to find a spot to hide. It was then I spotted the two sofas that the host club hold their meetings at. As rude as it is to eavesdrop, I really wanted to hear what they were going to be talking about. That and I couldn't find anywhere else to hide on such short notice so I jump behind one them.
"So why can't we have Haruhi cosplay as a bunny?" Kaoru and Hikaru asked.
"Because," Kyoya said. "The type of 'bunny' you have in mind would not be good for Haruhi's creditability as a male student."
"But the boss liked the idea."
"None the less Haruhi will wear the same cosplay as everyone else. Maybe after she pays off her debt we can have her dress up like a bunny, but until then she will wear the cosplay I have approved for her."
Is it just me, or did everyone in the Host club become a pervert after Haruhi joined?
"Mother!" And here comes Tamaki. "Haruhi won't wear the cosplay I picked out for her!" Tamaki stormed in with a 'bunny' costume in hand.
"I told you I don't want to wear that!" The cross dresser yelled at him. I picked a fun day to come to the Host Club.
"But Haruhi, you would look so cute in this. This is what Daddy wants!" Kyoya adjusted his glasses before stepping in.
"Tamaki, we are doing a non-cosplay Hosting day. Having Haruhi dress up like that would with out a doubt turn away customers." I'm sure if I could see, Tamaki would be sitting in the corner, utterly defeated.
"But Kyoya. Don't you think that the 'Bunny' cosplay would attract more girls to the Host Club?" The Hitachiin twins argued.
"No. Because it is 'bunny' cosplay that might turn-off most of our customers."
"Did Kyo-chan say we are doing a bunny cosplay?" A young Boy-Lolita voice rang out. "I love bunnies!"
"Mitsukuni, I don't think it's the same type of bunny as Usa-chan." Mori said. Wow, that was a long sentence for Mori.
"Huh? You mean that there are other types of bunnies Takashi."
"Can we just stop with this 'bunny' nonsense already?!" Haruhi called out.
"But I want to do a bunny cosplay!" Honey whined.
"We could do an Easter cosplay someday, but not right now. We'd have to wait for April." Kyoya reasoned. Well he's obviously a friend to fellow AB types.
"Did you hear that Usa-chan? We get to be bunnies for a day! Yay!!!" I could see the Bunny being tossed up into the air from behind the couch. Honey really had some arm on him.
"No, no, no, NO!" That voice.....It can't be! "Bunny cosplay is so overrated!" Renge yelled from her pedestal. "If we are going to do something unusual we should do a cosplay on a foreign Country."
"Um, which Country?" Tamaki asked.
"Well I have heard of a Country that is very unique in its culture, and dress. In fact what I've heard is that they even have America copying them." I wonder which country she is talking about....
"So," Hikaru started, "Are you going to tell us?"
"Or are we going to have to guess?" Kaoru finished.
"The Country I'm talking about is unlike any other. It's supposed to be so beautiful in winter. It's Canada!"
"Ahahaha!" I laughed. Canada, a unique country? Yeah right! I then realized that I wasn't supposed to be there and covered my mouth with my hands, but it was too late. I'm screwed.
"Intruder!" Hikaru called as he and Kaoru jumped behind the love-seat and grabbed me.
"What? Hey!!" I called out right before I was tossed over the sofa. I skidded across the room on my chest and came to a stop at a pair of black shoes.
"Hey you two idiots! It's a girl not an intruder!" Tamaki yelled. He then knelt down and held out his hand. "I'm sorry you had to see that side of me my princess." Tamaki suddenly had a rose in his hand and was holding it out to me. "I just hope that someone as lovely as you will be able to forgive me." I took his fee hand and he help me up.
"Ah, it's fine. I have a brother and a sister back home who do worse to me."
"Oh you poor dear!" Tamaki held the sides of my head. "Being force to live with savagery from your own siblings. How tragic!"
"Um...could you please let go of me? I have personal space issues." All of a sudden Tamaki was across the room rambling about sibling bonds or something like that. I just tuned him out. "Right...whatever." I brought my hand up to re-adjust my own glasses when I noticed they were no longer on my face. "Huh. Where are my glasses? They must have fallen off when you two chucked me over the couch!" I said pointing at the twins.
"Sorry." Hikaru said in a flat voice.
"We can't help the fact if you can't keep better track of your stuff." Kaoru added. Arrogant rich people.
"I believe these are what you are looking for." Kyoya said as he held out a pair of black and white glasses with a thin frame and thinker arms.
"Thank you." I said taking them from him and putting them back on. I couldn't believe Kyoya Ohtori had just handed me my glasses, and with out making me pay some sort of fee. Maybe he lost his glasses too at some point. Now that they were back on, I could see much better now. I had thought that Tamaki looked a little fuzzy.
"So what brings you to the Ouran Host Club? You are obviously not one of our usual customers, nor do you appear to be a student from Ouran Academy."
"What are you talking about?" Haruhi asked.
"Well look at her. She isn't wearing a school uniform. And it doesn't look like she is even from Japan. Her hair is too blond and she has blue eyes. Certainly not features that are common in Japan."
"Now that you mention it Kyo-chan, she looks just like Tama-chan!" Honey exclaimed.
"What?! Are you saying that I'm just like this goof-ball?" I said pointing to the Host Club King.
"Hey boss," Kaoru began.
"We thought you said you didn't have a sister." Hikaru ended.
"I already have two brothers thank you very much! I don't want a third one!" I yelled.
"She certainly is a fire-cracker." The King commented.
"I think you're all missing the big picture here." Kyoya interrupted. "I hope you don't mind my asking miss, but how did you end up at Ouran Academy?" I looked up at him. I knew I was going to have to lie. I had no other choice.
"Um, well you see my school has a student exchange going on with students from Japan." I worked up some fake tears. "But when we arrived at the airport in Tokyo I think I might have gotten on the wrong bus. I was supposed to be going to a public school where I would meet my host family, but somehow I ended up here." Okay it wasn't a total lie; I was in a student exchange with Japan that my school organized, but we were not due in Japan for another month. "And now I have no idea where I am," I started sobbing a bit. "Or where to go or how I'm going to meet up with the rest of my group." I have to say, my acting abilities really shone in times like these.
"Do you have the phone number of your group leader?" Haruhi asked.
"No. All of that stuff was in my bag, which is on the other bus."
"Do you know the name of your host family?"
"No. They were going to send all the students letters about their host family but mine never came. My host family doesn't even know my name. They were going to have a sign with a number on it that corresponds with a student."
"Wow, tough break." Hikaru said, still with out an ounce of compassion.
"It seems we have no choice men." Tamaki said in his 'I've got a plan' voice. "One of us will have to host this young lady at one of ours places! By the way my princess, what is your name?" The King said, taking by the hands.
"Uh, my name is Stacy."
"Defiantly a foreigner." Renge said.
"Stacy huh? What a beautiful name for a Goddess such as yourself." Tamaki said, in his 'charming' voice.
"Uh, could you not try to flirt with me?" I pull my hands out of his.
"Huh?"
"It's just that one of my brothers' kind'a looks like you so it's just too awkward for me."
"Maybe she is the Boss' sister after all." Kaoru whispered to Hikaru.
"I'm not his sister! And my brother just has the same type of hair as him. That's as far as the resemblance goes."
"Ah, I see. Your brother must be so dear to you that you see his face where ever you go."
"Um...Not really. I don't like him that much. I just think that you two have similar hair, that's all." Tamaki took out a hanky and started crying into it, blubbering about siblings at odds or something.
"Pardon me for interrupting this 'touching' moment," Kyoya said, hold his black book open while writing in it. "But we have guests who are about to arrive any minute now and we are not ready to host any. Oh, and Stacy, if there is anything we can do to make up for our uncivilized greeting, we'd be more than happy to comply." My inner fangirl screamed in the back of my head. Kyoya was so cool and charming!
"Well, you guys are a Host Club right?" I said while I was totally blushing. "Well, would it be alright if I request Kyoya for today?"
"It would be my pleasure." The Megane said. Ahh! Kyoya is the best!
The Ouran Host Club is now open for business.
It was true. The Ouran Host Club....was not doing cosplay today. What a shame.
I sat across the table from Kyoya and just looked at him. I had never liked a guy that was so easy to stare at. Kyoya was devilishly handsome.
"So what type of tea would you like?" Kyo-chan asked.
"I really don't drink a lot of tea."
"I see. Is there anything else we can offer you?" Kyoya said with a smile on his face. Even though I knew it was a fake it was nice to see him trying to look happy.
"I'll be fine with water for today, thank you." Haruhi came around with a trolley and set out a tall crystal glass and filled it with sparkling water. I guess the phrase 'over the top' isn't found in the dictionary here. Kyoya was almost perfect, except for one little thing. "I wonder..."Absentmindedly I reached out and ran my fingers trough Kyoya's bangs, undoing the perfect hair brush strokes, making his hair slightly messy. Kyoya looked way cuter with messy hair. I couldn't help it! Flirting with Kyoya came as naturally as breathing.
"Look at What's-her-name flirting with Kyoya." Hikaru said.
"Yeah. I've never seen anyone mess with his hair before." Not-Hikaru said.
"She probably just has a crush on him." Haruhi reasoned. "I bet by tomorrow she will be picked up by the rest of her group and she'll move on to some other guy."
"Oh hohohohohohohohohoho." An oversized electric motor started up, lifting Renge up into the air on her spinning platform, for the second time today. "Isn't it obvious? Stacy came all the way to Japan to meet her one true love Kyoya!"
"I think you have her confused with yourself Renge." The Lawyer-to-be mumbled to her self.
"It's so touching and romantic!" Renge continued.
Back over where I was sitting I was wishing I could have come during the sakura viewing festival. I wanted to see both the cherry blossoms and Kyoya in the cosplay he was wearing at the time. Kyoya was so...so...I didn't want to say sexy, but yeah. He was HOT! Like were talking fire baby, yeowwww!!!
"So Stacy," Kyoya's sweet voice pulled me back. "Which country are you from? Europe?"
"No. I'm not from Europe or anyplace that's culturally refined."
"Then where are you from?"
"You'll laugh."
"I promise I won't."
"Alright. Canada."
"Canada?" Tamaki repeated from across the room. Can't anyone have a private conversation anymore?
This has to be the first time a foreigner wasn't from France. Haruhi thought.
"You are from Canada!" Tamaki was now at the table and was getting all excited.
"Yeah. But before you go over board on the whole 'she's a Canadian' thing, I should remind you that you have other guests." I stated. Tamaki looked back at the girls he had just abandoned.
"Tamaki. Is something wrong?" One girl said.
"Why did you leave in the middle of our conversation?" A second one asked.
"I'm terribly sorry my princess." Tamaki somehow teleported to the other side of the room back to his guests. "It's just that I have always thought it was romantic how Canadians curl up together inside snow hut's called igloos to keep warn during the harsh, cold winter."
"Oh Tamaki." The two moe said, gushing over the King.
"Is it just me or is he completely full of it?" I asked Kyoya.
"I'm not even sure if he has all his facts right. But you are right, Tamaki is full of it."
The Host Club is closed for today.
"Wow, we had fewer guests today than we normally do." Tamaki noted.
"Indeed. Hopefully it won't cut into the sales of the Host Club merchandise." Kyoya said as he scribbled something in his book.
"Hey guys, have you all forgotten about Stacy?" Haruhi said, getting everyone's attention. "I mean where is she going to stay until her group comes for her?"
"Oh yeah, you guys were going to decide earlier but you all got side tracked." I said, smirking.
"We'll take her." Kaoru offered.
"Now way!" Tamaki objected. "There's no way we could send her to stay with you two shady twins!"
"Hey! Who you call'n shady!?" They yelled back.
"I'd love to offer, but I'm afraid it might not go over to well with my father." Kyoya said. "Tamaki? How about you?"
"No. I'm not allowed to have people over at the Estate."
"She can come stay with me." Haruhi offered.
"Haruhi, are you sure that you can afford to have a visiting Dignitary stay at your house?" Tamaki asked.
"Dignitary? Wait, do you all think that I'm rich?" I ask.
"Um, yes. I mean not may poor people can fly to Japan."
"Well I'm not rich, but I'm not poor. Canada doesn't have that big of a gap between the two. We have middle ground."
"So I've noticed." Kyoya stated. "The clothing you are wearing is nice, but it's not high-end. In fact the most expensive article you have on would be that watch you have. But I doubt that it would fetch for more than ninety dollars Canadian, correct?"
Wow, he's good.....
"Um.....yeah....Uh, anyway I'll be fine staying with Haruhi. You guys don't have to make a huge fuss over me."
"Wait boss!" The twins grabbed Tamaki for a conference off to the side. "What if Stacy finds out about Haruhi's secret? She'll have to quit the Host Club."
"What are you guys talking about?" I call from over where Haruhi and I were standing. It was the first time I noticed my height in comparison to the other hosts. I was a few inches taller then Haruhi but shorter than everyone else with the exception of Honey and Renge.
"Nothing!" Tamaki called.
"If this is about Haruhi being a cross dresser, then I know about it already."
"What?!" Tamaki grabbed me by the shoulders and stared me in the eye. "You knew?"
"Yes. She's obviously a girl, but if you want me to keep quite about it then I will. It's not that big of a deal."
"I see. Haruhi please be a good host to our Canadian friend. I'll see you tomorrow Ha-ru-hi." Tamaki said in an over friendly manner.
"Sure....Whatever." I said as we walked out. Tamaki is so weird.
"So why is it that you suddenly approved of Haruhi having a girl know her secret Boss?" Hikaru asked.
"Don't you see? If Haruhi has a female friend that might entice her to be more feminine."
"So this means..." Kaoru
"That's right gentlemen! It's the 'Get Stacy to awaken Haruhi's Feminine side' plan!" Both twins stood off to the side cheering on the Host Club King.
This should be very interesting...The Shadow King thought to himself.
So Haruhi and I walked to the Fujioka residence from Ouran Academy. It was a nice apartment. I of course, would have to share a room with Haruhi but I was used to sharing a room with my sister when we went on vacation. I was a bit nervous meeting Ranka, Haruhi's cross-dressing father for the first time, but he (?) was nice. He gave me a very welcoming greeting after Haruhi introduced me as a lost tourist and then left for work. Beggars can't be choosers I guess. I help Haruhi make dinner for the two of us, she lent me a pair of pajamas to wear and after she was done her homework we went to bed. Yes it is so fascinating...
I laid awake on the extra futon for guests while Haruhi slept. I was nervous. I didn't know how I was going to get back home. Sure one of the Hosts could buy me a plane ticket to Canada, but what if I'm in a different world altogether? I could never get home if that was the case. I missed my bed. I missed my room. I missed my dog. Settling my self down I tried to go to sleep. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day tomorrow. Or at lest, this was all just a dream.
Well that was the first chapter! I hope that you liked it! Please review!
