After about a year and a half of reading other people's fics, I've finally decided to write one of my own- so here it is

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Ouran characters.

Haruhi glanced through the sea of bizarre yellow dresses that were, for some strange reason, the mandatory girls' uniform at Ouran. She saw that most of them belonged to regular customers, but there were also a few new girls, just as there were on most days.

The club gained new customers all the time since many of the girls who were nervous, embarrassed, or slightly repulsed by the idea of the host club would finally decide to try it (or be forced to by friends). Contrary to popular belief, every girl at Ouran didn't just swoon when one of the hosts walked by and flock to the club whenever they got a chance. Most of them had to come around to the idea of having handsome boys pretend to like them, but the power of the hosts isn't as misperceived as the personalities of the girls they cater too. Once a lady visits them, she is rarely able to resist the spell they seem to cast.

Among the new customers (who would likely become regulars), was a face that Haruhi seemed to recognize. It took her a second to realize who she was seeing, but once it hit her, Haruhi was on her feet heading toward the familiar girl.

"Sorry to interrupt," Haruhi said to the small group of chattering newcomers, "but I was wondering if I could speak to Kazumi-san for a moment." Haruhi gave them the natural smile that was slowly paying off her debt, and the girls gladly acquiesced, getting their first taste of the charm that inhabited the host club.

Haruhi turned to Kazumi, a girl of big blue-gray eyes and long hair that resembled Haruhi's in color. The face that Haruhi had recognized had dropped into a rather astonished expression that was morphing into a smile as she was led away from the others.

"What are you doing here?" Haruhi asked in a half excited, half accusatory tone.

"Why are you dressed as a boy?" was the response she received, but after getting a 'don't answer my question with a question, I asked you first' glare, Kazumi replied "I go to school here; I have since the beginning of the year. I can't believe I haven't seen you yet. I had no idea this was the school you got the scholarship to."

"I knew you were coming back to Tokyo, but I had no idea that you would be coming here," Haruhi said, her expression now revealing her unusual excitement. "I'd give you a hug, but you can see how that could be bad."

"Yeah, this is an interesting group of people that come here," Kazumi agreed "but we can talk later. You have some customers to attend to, which, by the way, you'll have to explain to me when you get the chance."

"Alright, come back here after activities are over for the day. I should be able to talk then," Haruhi instructed her before turning away to attend to her host duties for the day.

Sorry for the short first chapter, but I hoped I aroused a little curiosity.
