The sounds of a piano being played softly drifted towards her. It settled into the back of her mind and soothed her. The music was filled with both joy and sadness at the same time. As she continued down the hall, a scene flashed before her eyes. It was a scene from when she was very young. She was standing with her father outside of a building with smoke coming out of large chimney. She was holding her father's hand, and they were standing there, simply gazing at the tall grey building. She looked up at her father and said, "I won't ever be able to see Mom again?" Then, the scene changed. This time it was her mother, all ready for work, cheerful and bursting with energy. "Haruhi!" she called. "Mom is going to do her best at work today so Mom can win!!" She smiled so beautifully that day...,Haruhi thought.

She stopped at the end of the hall, faced the door, and turned the handle. A bright light from within surrounded her, rose petals swirling in the air. Six angelic voices rang out in unison, calling out a welcome."Irrashaimase!" And thus, the Ouran Host Club was open for business.

Chapter One: Shinboku (Reunion)

Those with the wherewithal - first in social standing, and second in money - spend their time here, at the private Ouran Academy. As such, Ouran Host Club is where handsome boys with too much time on their hands entertain girls, who also have too much time on their hands. It is the school's own personal, elegant playground for the super rich.

Haruhi opened the door to the Third Music Room and there were her friends, the Ouran Host Club. Reunited, after the sudden turn of events during the Ouran fair. For you see, the club's president, Suou Tamaki, had been offered a chance to see his mother again and to be able make her happy, on the condition of marrying Lady Éclair Tonnere. The rest of the club set out to bring him back, but in the end, Fujioka Haruhi was his savior. She followed him in a horse carriage and made him realize that the Host Club may have provided some pain to the other members, but they still liked it. Even Haruhi herself, liked it. And so, Haruhi held out her hand to Tamaki, but then the carriage hit the wall of the bridge, and Haruhi fell. Tamaki jumped in after her, and brought her back to shore.

The two returned to Ouran Academy with the rest of the Host Club members in time for a dance, to end the fair. Each had his turn with Haruhi, and in the end, she and Tamaki danced under the fireworks, still holding hands when they stopped.

And now, here they all were again. Starting another year together. Able to strengthen their bonds with each other, through this club. And through this club they would all thrive. They would all live...to love, to hate, and to be hurt in the long run. This, would be their new beginning. This is their reunion.
