AN: Hello, Courtney here, I'm reuploading already posted chapters as I have fixed the minor grammar mistakes. I will hopefully be posting an actual new chapter sometime in August.
Hikaru and Kaoru have always been in their own little world. It was always just the two of them. They understood each other, they were all they needed. Staying in a bubble protected them and stopped them from getting hurt. So when their parents sat down with them and told them they had adopted an orphan, they were shocked. She told them about how the orphans only parent had died of a heart attack leaving them alone.
"When do we meet this orphan?" Kaoru was the first to speak up.
"Right now," their mother answered turning towards the door, "you can come in."
The door opened and the orphan, their new sibling, walked in.
"Hikaru? Kaoru?" Would the twins become the new scholar students siblings?
"Haruhi? You're our brother?" Hikaru said, his brows furrowed. The twins hadn't learned much about Haruhi yet because he wasn't social.
"Don't you mean sister?"
The twins tilted their heads in confusion.
"I'm a girl." That definitely shocked them. They turned to each other and raised an eyebrow.
"You're a girl? Then why are you dressed...like that?" Haruhi thought Hikaru was being rude.
"I'm sorry that I can't afford Ouran's expensive uniform"
"Then why is your hair like that?"
"The week before school started, a kid in the street got gum in my hair. It's hard to get it out of long hair so I cut it. I don't care if I look like a guy."
"So Hikaru, Kaoru," Their mother disrupted them, "I want you two to look out for your sister. You'll be in big trouble if something happens to her." The twins knew what this meant. It meant that she'd have to wait in the host club for them.
The next day was the beginning of a new week at Ouran academy, Haruhi had a new uniform, the female yellow dress and her short hair had been styled by Hikaru and Kaoru. She would have never expected those two to be so kind to her.
Throughout the day many comments were made to her, most were people telling her that they never knew she was a girl or asking how her appearance had all of a sudden changed. It annoyed her a little, all she wanted to was concentrate on her studies. Why was is that all the libraries were so full? That's when she came across it. Music room 3. Perhaps she could study here? She opened the door and rose petals came blowing towards her in a spiral of bright light.
"Welcome to Ouran Host Club." A chorus of male voices called to her and she could finally see again. Wait... What were the twins doing in a host club like this?
"Oh, Haruhi, what's up?"
"Oh sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here."
"Hikaru, Kaoru, do you two know this girl?"
"She's our sister," Kaoru said first.
"Sister? I was not aware that you had a sister." Tamaki exclaimed. Haruhi wondered if he was always so loud.
"I was adopted."
"That would explain it," Kyoya stated bluntly.
"I'm just trying to find somewhere to study, but nowhere's available. I think I'll just study at home instead. I'll see you there, okay?"
"If you want to study just do it here. You're not allowed to go home without us."
"I'm fine walking home by myself. I'm perfectly capable of being alone." Her words pierced into their hearts. She was used to being alone... The twins had each other. She was truly on her own.
"Don't be ridiculous, just wait here for us." Haruhi reluctantly agreed.
"What on earth is this place anyway?" She asked no one in particular.
"This is Ouran Academy's Host club, a place where rich beautiful men with way too much spare time on their hands, like moi, entertain rich beautiful ladies who also have way too much time on their hands." The blond prince informed her.
"So it's just a way for you to get girls to hang out with you for money?"
"Pretty much, it does make quite the profit," Kyoya muttered in the background.
"It does sound fun, it must feel great to make the ladies smile." Haruhi complimented the club.
"By the way, I don't think I know your names..."
"I'm Tamaki Suoh, the king of the host club." The tall blond introduced himself a little too enthusiastically. "Are you in love with me yet?"
"No." Haruhi sighed, this was going to be a long wait.
"Kyoya Ootori, I'm in charge of the clubs finances and the vice president of the club."
"Nice to meet you, Kyoya-senpai." Haruhi smiled, she had a feeling that Kyoya was someone who you didn't want to get on the bad side of.
"I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka, you can call me Honey-senpai."
"Senpai?"
"Despite appearances, Mitsukuni is 17 years old. I'm Takashi Morinozuka, you can call me Mori-senpai,"
"Of course, nice to meet you both."
"This is Usa-chan." The loli boy held a pink stuffed rabbit to Haruhi, his eyes beaming with joy.
"Adorable," she smiled back at the boy and his usa-chan.
"Haruhi, since you have to wait for Hikaru and Kaoru anyway, why don't you become a hostess?" Kyoya must've been thinking the idea over for a while now. He had a feeling this girl would be able to gain the club some profit.
" I suppose that'd be alright. As long as I don't have to dress up as a guy." She laughed.
"Very well, for today just stay in the background and observe what we do. Perhaps prepare some tea. I'll prepare a uniform for you by tomorrow."
"Uniform?"
"We can't have you looking like one of the guests, you can dress up as a maid."
And so, Haruhi Hitachiin would become a hostess.
