Chapter 1: Welcome to the Host Club
"Welcome to the Ouran Academy Host Club!" Seven voices echoed through the once abandoned music room number three. A giggly girl pushed the door open wider. She was tall and lean with bright blond hair and wide green eyes. Her smile was brilliant as she batted her long lashes. Haruhi mentally rolled her eyes as she hoisted up her dress for the umpteenth time. The theme today was cowboys and she, of course, was the maiden who got tied up under the train. Thank you Hitachiin twins! The girl sauntered into the center of the room. Kyoya looked up from his clipboard.
"Hello miss, are you here to buy tickets to the cowboy theatre act later this afternoon?" Kyoya smiled. Haruhi turned to the twins with a glare. A show! They gave her the usual peace sign and smiled back.
"Actually, I was wondering if I may request a host early. I know that the club doesn't open for another hour, but," she battered her eyelashes at Tamaki who instantly rushed over to her.
"Of course you may! One cannot contain love! For if one could they would not be showing their true emotions and that is so wrong! For without emotions our world would be nothing more than…." All the hosts turned away from Tamaki who was dragging on again. Haruhi glanced back at the girl who stood facing her as Tamaki looked away deep in his own words. The girl smiled a smirk and her eyes became shallow. She folded her arms and cocked a hip as she looked straight at Haruhi and opened her mouth as if to say something. Something poked Haruhi in the back, however before the girl could start.
"Ahhhhhh!" Haruhi jumped a foot off the ground as she squealed and landed on the floor.
"Haruhi!" Six boys rushed to her side. "Are you alright?"
"Haruhi, I am so sorry! I was talking to Kaoru and I turned suddenly into you. I really didn't mean it, honest!" Hikaru helped the shaken Haruhi up.
"See Haruhi! See what happens when you hang out with shady twins!" Tamaki grabbed Haruhi into a tight hug. "Father will protect you now. Don't cry my sweet Haruhi!" Haruhi pulled herself out.
"I am not crying senpai! Let go of me! It's okay Hikaru, I was just jumpy because…" She looked to the door to see the blond haired girl gone. "Where'd she go?" Everyone turned.
"She must have been too overwhelmed by my speech!" Tamaki winked an eye and rolled his fingers over the brim of his hat.
"Or too scared and you sent her running for the hills." Hikaru and Koru snickered in unison at how fast Tamaki was sent into depression mode. Haruhi was still staring at the door. Something about the way the girl smirked at her troubled her. It was a smirk unlike she had ever seen, even worse than Kyoya's.
"Haruhi." Speak of the devil himself. She snapped up. "Time to rehearse." He gestured over to the twins who were each holding a rope in one hand and a blindfold in the other, smiling like only they could.
