Heya! This is my first fanfic but I hope you guys like it because Ouran HS Host Club is definitely one of my most favourite anime and manga. The plot came off the top of my head but I will definitely finish writing the story since I know how it feels if you read a story but the author just isn't bothered to finish it! Hope it isn't too long! Now please R&R my story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran HS Host Club but I do own Rie !

CHAPTER 1- RIE COMES BACK

Rie stood confidently in front of the 3rd Music Room with her suitcase as she did a final check on her image. She was wearing a plain yet elegant pale blue dress which showed off her slim figure and a white summer hat that sat lightly on her long brown hair. Rie's silver eyes shone and showed how eager she was to see her cousins whom she had not seen for over 3 years since she had returned to Canada after her mother's death.

Closing her purse with a click, Rie pushed open the gold gilded doors. The 3rd Music Room had not changed a bit since it had been used by the Ouran High School Host Club. Tables were set with fancy tablecloth while stylish tea ware sat delicately on top while rays of sunlight streamed through the tall French windows and covered all it touched with a warm glow and the comfortable sofas were still arranged with their matching coffee tables in front of them. For Rie, it was a dream come true to be able to be back here.

The Ouran High School Host Club members had all stopped what they were doing when they saw Rie at the door, everyone except for Haruhi who kept on pouring instant coffee into cups. Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru sat stunned at their table, with their tea cups in hand. Kyoya smirked as he approached the girl in pale blue dress where he stood.

"Rie-chan, It has been a long time," said Kyoya politely as he bowed.

"Yes it has been a long time hasn't it, Kyoya-sama?　Are your parents' well?" replied Rie as she returned the formal greetings.

Haruhi was finally aware that someone new was in the room and put down the teapot on the table where Tamaki, Kaoru and Hikaru still sat stunned at the appearance of Rie.

"Ah…Welcome…" stammered Haruhi. She wasn't sure if this girl was a customer but was also not surprised at the intimacy between this girl and Kyoya as she probably was the daughter of some rich guy. While Haruhi was wondering to herself, Honey-sempai hurled himself onto Rei's back.

"RIE-CHAN! WELCOME BACK! When did you arrive? Why didn't you call us or something while you were away? I really missed you!"exclaimed Honey-sempai.

Laughing hysterically, Rie pulled Honey-sempai of her back and looked him in the face.

"Mitsukini-sama, I missed you too, but I couldn't leave Canada just yet because there were a lot of important matters to take care of which made me very very busy. I'm very sorry. "

Honey-sempai looked past the silver glittering of Rie's eyes and sensed that she had gone through a lot of suffering for the past few years and did not want to talk about it. Putting a big smile on his face Honey-sempai declared that he had already forgiven Rie and they were best friends again. Rie then turned to greet and hug Mori-sempai, Kaoru and Hikaru.

She then looked around the room for Tamaki and noticed him in a remote corner. Rie guessed that he was jealous that he was left until last to be greeted. She slowly walked over to the corner where Tamaki was sulking and bent down to face him. Rie whispered some words which could only be heard by Tamaki and then stood up to leave. Tamaki suddenly pulled Rei's arm and hugged her with all his might.

"Rie…it's been so long, I've missed you. Are you still angry about what happened all those years ago? I'm sorry I acted that way but I had to do it to save my own mother. I knew you could handle it as you had your own family. I'm so very sorry, please will you forgive me?" Tamaki pleaded in Rie's shoulder.

Smiling slightly, Rie used one hand to hug Tamaki and the other to stroke his hair. "You haven't changed a bit. I didn't tell you earlier but I have already forgiven you a long time ago. I'm sorry got so angry at you and left so suddenly…Now I realize that I was really selfish and only running away from the truth. I didn't care about your feelings back them so it's me who needs to be forgiven not you." At that, Tamaki only held her even tighter.

When Tamaki finally let go, Rie held onto his hand and asked him to introduce the new member of the Host Club. Eagerly, Tamaki pulled Rie to where Haruhi was and introduced the two girls. Tamaki also continued to explain Haruhi's "situation" to Rie who nodded occasionally to show she understood.

"Sumimasen, but what kind of relationship do you have with the people in our Host Club? You seem very familiar to all of them but you aren't from this school are you?" bluntly asked Haruhi.

There was laughter from behind Rie. It was Hikaru and Kaoru. They said in unison "Rie is a childhood friend of ours who left several years ago to go to Canada but she is related to most of us by blood as well"

"REALLY?" cried Haruhi in surprise, "ALL of YOU?"

Paying no attention to Haruhi's surprise, Kyoya cleared his throat to attract attention of the Host Club members and then opened his notebook as he began to speak:

"Rie's official name is Hitachiin Rie and before you are going to ask Haruhi, yes she is related to Hikaru and Kaoru. They are cousins since their dad's are twins. Rie's grandmother was my grandfather's sister which makes Rie, Hikaru and Kaoru my cousins since they have Ootori blood coursing through their veins." Kyoya paused to let Haruhi digest the information. Seeing the girl nod slowly, Kyoya turned back to his notebook.

"Rie's mother was a Haninozuka which means Rie is directly related to Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai because Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai are cousins. And let me add this, Rie is a beautiful, smart and one of the heirs to a powerful family in addition to being the oldest girl who is related to many powerful families which means lots of many people want to marry her right now."

"Heh….Rie-san is so impressive! Having so many people after her hand in marriage at such a young age! And it's rare for Kyoya-sempai to give out compliments when he doesnt get anything in return..." said Haruhi. "But wait, how is Tamaki-sempai related to Rie-san? Is he one of her cousins too? If he is, then ALL of you are related to each other!"

"Geez, do you ever listen Haruhi? We said that Rie-chan is related to MOST of us!" chorused Hikaru and Kaoru

"To be exact, all of us except Tamaki." Said Kyoya with a smirk on his face.

Tamaki fell down anime style when he heard that and immediately yelled at Kyoya not to remind him about that matter.

"Haruhi, since you do not come from a prosperous family like we do, you may not know that girls who have lots of proposals have an engagement list ranking all males who want to marry her. These guys are usually ranked by blood relation, power, age, wealth and possibly appearance. Rie's list is the longest in Japan right now."

Haruhi's forehead twitched at the comment 'since you do not come from a prosperous family' but Kyoya chose to divert his attention to the screaming Tamaki behind him.

Rie who had been enjoying a cup of tea at the window, perked up when she heard them talking about her engagement list and added: "Yes, everything Kyoya has said so far is right. As usual. But the list is so troublesome…I would receive more than 300 bouquets a day if we didn't restrict them."

Haruhi was awed by this girl who was both beautiful and came from a prestigious family. She seemed to shine more and more by the minute.

"Anyways, I am related to Rie because I am ranked number 7 of her list." Boasted Tamaki who had suddenly recovered from his 'hysterical' state.

Looking guilty, Rie explained to Tamaki that her father decided to include her 2 half brothers which pushed Tamaki down to number 9. By the end of Rie's sentence, Tamaki was back in his 'hysterical state' and trying to bash his head against the wall but was being restrained by Mori-sempai.

"All of us in the host club is ranked in the top 10 of Rie's list because we are blood relatives andour families have a lot of power. Rie's half brothers' come first in the list since they have the same father. But Haruhi, marrying Riedoesn't just mean I get a beautiful wife, I could gain evenmore power and wealth if I used her inheiritance" Stated Kyoya as he went to turn the 'Open' sign so it said 'Closed'.

Haruhi sighed. Kyoya was definately an egoist, even to his own relatives. Then, Honey-sempai cut through her thoughts.

"Rie-chan's engagement list goes like this I think..." squealed Honey-sempai halfway through a strawberry cake. Honey-sempai then began to scribble something on a piece of paper and handedthe cream smeared paperto Haruhi, who held it between her thumb and forefinger.

The piece of paper said:

"Mitsukini, you have cake on your face," Mori-sempai said bluntly to Honey-sempai as the loli shota continued to gobble the cakes at an amazing speed. Mori-sempai then turned to Rie and said: "Rie-chan, aren't you supposed to fight Mitsukini? It isn't like you to forget about house rules."

Rie sighed and said that she had injured her hip while she was in Canada and her family doctor had suggested her to restrain from having battles for a while, even if it was a house rule. Mori nodded curtly and told her to get well soon.

Kyoya then announced that it was nearly time to go as all the limousines had already been waiting at the school gates for a long time. At the school entrance, there was a light spring breeze making the trees rustle together. Rie's long brown hair was being blown to the side by the gentle wind while the smooth strands shone like goldthreads in the setting sun. Almost everything that could be seenhad been temperarilygilded in golden sun rays.

They bid each other goodbye,got into their own limos and werechauffeured away.

"I'm glad I could come back again, this is where I really belong," whispered Rie as she stared out the window at the orange sky and the clouds which seemed to be on fire.
