Ouran High School Host Club has always been one of my favorite anime's to watch for a good laugh. I had a bit of trouble finding a character to fit into the story line well. Every character is so well defined that I had to do some fine tuning on my new character. I also wanted to keep the anime happy and upbeat but I also wanted to test how it would be if I added a bit more darkness into it. I hope you enjoy it!!!

Disclaimer: I hate this part… I don't own Ouran… stupid lawyers…. T.T

Today was a very slow day for the Host Club, there weren't a lot of girls there today. It was nearly spring break and many of the usual clients had decided to take an extra week off because of some festival. No one in the Host Club decided to take the week off though, they were content with serving their customers. They may have thought differently if they knew just how many wouldn't be there.

Haikaru and Kaoru were lounging at a table, entertaining the few customers they had. Tamaki was badgering Haruhi to wear some sort of pink and green dress. She was not entertained. Mori was watching Hunny play with his bunny toy (a/n: Wah… what was that bunnies name again!?) Kyoya was scribbling in his notebook.

Even the weather was horrid. The rain was beating the windows, and once in a while a flash of lightening could be seen. Thankfully, there wasn't much thunder. A slight rumble here and there, so Haruhi was happy.

Tamaki paused from suggesting the girly frock to Haruhi when he heard a small noise coming from the door. He shook his head when he saw nothing there, but he was sure someone was there. He put down the dress and walked casually to the door. Haruhi looked at him strangely, he didn't usually give up on the dresses and stuff that easily.

Tamaki got to the door and looked around. His face lit up instantly. "Well well, my little flower, why are you hiding." Everyone's eyes turned to him, wondering who the new guest was. Everyone was grateful something of slight interest happened.

"Come on now, princess. Nothing to be scared of." Tamaki tugged at someone who was invisible to the others. He tugged her so that everyone could see her now.

She wasn't ugly. And yet, she wasn't pretty either. Her burgundy hair was a bit messy, and her bangs were messily over her eyes, which were staring at the floor. No one could tell the color. She looked rather uncomfortable in the school uniform's dress. She was very petite and Tamaki towered over her.

He went through the whole selection speech. She didn't respond… He stared at her awkwardly… they really hadn't every had someone like this. She hadn't spoken once. He was about to repeat the speech, thinking that maybe she didn't hear it.

But, before Tamaki was able to repeat it, Hikaru spoke up. "Tamaki, let us be her host. We're awful bored, and she could be interesting…" Kaoru said the same thing in unison. Tamaki wasn't sure about letting the twins be her host… she was really quiet. But… he didn't know what else to do. He agreed.

"I don't know if that's the best idea…" whispered Haruhi to Tamaki as the girl walked stiffly after the twins.

"Nonsense!" smiled Tamaki, "She will have a lovely time… I'm sure." It sounded more like he was convincing himself than he was convincing Haruhi.

"I dunno…" said Hunny, "She looks awfully scared…"

"Yeah." Agreed Mori senpai

They all looked towards the table the twins and the strange girl were sitting at. (a/n: don't you love how they all say that it's not a good idea, but instead of helping out they watch. LOL, it is so in character… ^_^)

"So, what's your name?" said the twins.

"Er…" mumbled the girl, "Kaede…"

"Wow… that's old fashioned." Laughed Hikaru.

"Ah, but your name is also old fashioned, Hikaru." said Kaoru with a sly smile.

"Don't tease me so, Kaoru! It's embarrassing!!!" He was blushing profusely. The rest of the club, who were sitting watching them behind the couch, rolled their eyes. This was a regular routine for the twins.

"I'm sorry Hikaru… but you're so cute when you're embarrassed." He smiled and leaned forward toward Hikaru.

All the host club members nearly had a heart attack when Kaede, the strange girl, bolted up. She finally looked up at them. Her eyes were green. "I see, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you liked men." She smiled a warm smile at them and turned around. Both the twins were stunned. They just sat there for a moment watching her walk towards the door.

"Oy!!! Wait!" called out the twins.

"No no, it's alright. I completely understand!" she waved her hand as if pushing away the "homosexuality" of the twins.

"That's not how it is!!!" yelled Hikaru. No girl had ever reacted that way to their routine. It was all very sudden, and everyone was in shock. Not once had a girl refused to swoon at the "loving brothers" routine.

She would've left. If only she wasn't forced back in. A man in a black suit appeared before the doorway and grabbed her by the shoulders. It wasn't a friendly grab… more forceful. "You are a disgrace." stated the man in the black suit. With that, he promptly slapped her, turned her around, and forced her back in the room.

He walked with her into the room. The entire club had gathered around the twins, and they were standing in the center of the room gawking at what had just happened. The girl was looking at the ground again, and you could see a faint red mark on her cheek from the slap.

"Excuse her." Said the man in the black suit. "She has been resisting this part of life for too long now. She has no engagement. No man wants her." He paused and looked down at Kaede. "She is my daughter, and it's a disgrace that she can't land a husband. That is where you come in. You have been serving young ladies for a while now, and you seemed to be a good start as any. I want you to train her."

Haruhi spoke up, "Train her, sir!? She is not a dog." The girl's head snapped up, and she stared at Haruhi. Her eyes told her to stop talking before her father gave Haruhi what she had been getting.

Tamaki cut in, "Sir, we mean no disrespect, but what do you want us to do? We aren't exactly… er… trainers…"

"You are the last chance for her." The girl squeezed her eyes shut… and the rest of the club could only wonder what he meant by last chance.

"We'll do it." Said Hikaru. Everyone's head turned to look at him. He looked annoyed, but he kept talking, "We will "train" her for you." He looked at Kaede, and she looked like she was in shock. He gave her an apologetic look and then they understood. If they refused she would get in more trouble. And if her father slapped her when he was annoyed, what would he do when he was mad?

"Very good. You will be rewarded as your job is evaluated. I hope she can at least have a respectable boy by then." He looked at his daughter again, who was still staring at Hikaru in disbelief. "Good luck." And with that, he left.

Okay, this was a bit depressing… not exactly the fun filled Ouran we all know and love, but the upcoming chapters will have humor in them! I promise! But, you have to read on to find out how they will end up "training" her. I have to say, I hate Kaede's dad. He talks to her like a dog!!! Review please!
