Chapter 1

Takashi Morinozuka, along with the rest of the Ouran Host Club, watched as a small, strange-looking person stumbled through the doors of Music Room #3.

'Hmm... He looks a little weird.. Maybe even a little cute... NO, TAKASHI! You can't possibly have feelings for a guy! That'd be really awkward. But he does seem to have really wide eyes, kinda like a girl...,' Takashi thought to himself.

Tamaki Suoh and Kyoya Ootori, the President and Vice President of the club, approached the frightened boy and identified him as the new honor student. "Your name's Haruhi Fujioka, right?" Kyoya, the bespectacled man, said. Haruhi looked especially scared at the fact that he knew her name, "H-how did you know my n-name?" Haruhi had a terrible stutter when she was especially nervous. Tamaki, the boy with violet eyes and blond hair, said, "Everyone knows who YOU are. You're the poor scholarship student. You're a hero to all commoners!"

Kyoya sighed disappointingly at his best friend, 'When will this guy ever learn manners?'

"I'm guessing you don't know any of us?" Kyoya asked knowingly. Without waiting for an answer, Kyoya started to introduce the Host Club members, "The idiot beside me is Tamaki Suoh, the President. I am the Host Club's Vice President, Kyoya Ootori. We are both second years. Behind us are the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. They're first years like you. The tall man in the back is Takashi Morinozuka, or as we call him, 'Mori-sempai', since he's a third year and our senior. The short one beside him is Mitsukuni Haninozuka, whom, we call 'Honey-sempai', since he is also our third year senior."

'That little blond midget is two years older than me?! I'm even taller than him. He looks like he should be in elementary school!' Haruhi thought. Kyoya seemed to know exactly what she was thinking when he said, "Honey-sempai does seem a little short, but don't consider his height as a disadvantage. He can certainly pack a punch. After all, he and Mori-sempai are national champions in martial arts." Haruhi started to examine all of the Host Club, 'They all seem a little arrogant, except for maybe the third years...'

Tamaki saw Haruhi looking at the members with great interest. Tamaki started to talk dramatically, "Who would've ever known that the honor student... was openly gay?"

Haruhi's eyes widened to massive proportions. "Openly what? I'm not-" "Oh, it's okay, Haruhi. So, which is your type?" Tamaki said in a regal manner. He pointed to himself and asked, "Is it the princely type?" He then pointed at Kyoya and said, "Perhaps it's the cool type.." "The mischievous little devils?" He asked as he glanced at Hikaru and Kaoru. "Maybe it's the boy-Lolita," Tamaki said as he walked over to Honey. "Or might it even be the strong. silent type?" Tamaki said as he pointed to Mori.

Haruhi looked at Mori up and down. Mori's eyes seemed to widen slightly and thought, "Does Tamaki think I'm gay or something?! There's no way that I'm hosting that little guy!"

Haruhi started to think to herself, 'Well, it's kinda obvious that he's tall. He's at least a foot taller than Honey-sempai!' Haruhi's gaze moved to his face. 'He seems kind of...emotionless. Wow! I've never seen anyone with grey eyes before. They're really pretty. But, they seem emotionless and empty, like the rest of his face. But, they're still really nice.'

Haruhi's thoughts came to a sudden halt when Tamaki yelled, "I know who you like Haruhi! You like Mori-sempai, don't you?" Both Haruhi's and Mori's eyes widened. "Don't doubt it, Haruhi! I saw the way you were looking at him..," Tamaki said with a wide grin. "I-I don't have a crush on M-Mori-sempai!" "Of course, you do!" Tamaki practically shrieked. "You can't deny your feelings for long, Haruhi!"

The twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, started to act the same as the President of the Host Club. "You like Mori-sempai? Aww... They'd look so cute together!"

Haruhi's cheeks turned a bright shade of red. 'Oh, crap... They have me completely figured out,' Haruhi thought. Hikaru added, "Look at Haruhi blushing... He looks so adorable!" "But, Hikaru.." Kaoru's eyes started to water. "You shouldn't look at Haruhi. The only person you should be looking at is me." Hikaru's eyes started to water as well and replied, "I'm so sorry, Kaoru. I didn't mean to make you sad. But, it'd be impossible for me to look at anyone the same way I look at you." The twins embraced gently in a very feminine way.

'Are they gay AND incestuous?', Haruhi thought, looking confused.

Kyoya appeared right behind Haruhi's shoulder out of nowhere and said, "They might be incestuous. But it would be an overall benefit to the club if they were. More profit, you know." 'Can this guy read my mind?!' Haruhi thought. "Don't worry, Haruhi. I'm not reading your mind." Haruhi raised an eyebrow, quizzically. Kyoya smirked, realizing something. 'I'm not going to reveal this crucial piece of information to the club yet. Let me have my fun watching them figure it out.'

Honey stared at the tall companion beside him. "Feeling a little awkward, huh?" Honey said in a very childish voice. Mori nodded slightly, looking down at the boy beside him (well, technically "man", but he IS unbelievably short). "Don't worry, Takashi. I would too if Tama-chan said that...," Honey said in the same childish voice (A/N: "Tama-chan" is Tamaki, in case you didn't know. Honey is the only one in the Host Club who abbreviates everyone's name, except for Mori, whom he calls "Takashi", as that is his first name.)

Honey ran up to Haruhi and yelled, "HARU-CHAN! Do you want to share some cake with me?" "Um... No, thank you. AND WHO ARE YOU CALLING 'HARU-CHAN'?!" Haruhi said/screamed to Honey. Honey's eyes started to well up with tears. "Then do you want to play with Usa-chan with me?" (A/N: 'Usa-chan' is Honey's stuffed rabbit) Haruhi politely refused, not wanting to upset her senior. "Please? Pretty please?" Honey asked in his most childish voice, as he waved Usa-chan in her face. "Well... Okay. Usa-chan is pretty cute," Haruhi replied with a wide, sincere smile.

Honey momentarily looked at Haruhi with confusion, and then looked at him with sudden realization. "Is something wrong, Honey-sempai?" Haruhi asked with concern. "Uh.. No, Haru-chan. Everything's fine!" Honey said with his normal childish voice back. "We can play with Usa-chan later, okay?" Honey said with his signature Host Club smile.

'Mitsukuni, what happened?' Mori asked with his eyes (A/N: Mori also calls Honey by his first name, "Mitsukuni"). Mori and Haruhi were the only ones to notice Honey's changes in expression. Honey responded to his cousin (also with his eyes), 'I'll tell you later, Takashi.'

Tamaki and the twins kept pestering Haruhi about her crush on Mori. "You have a crush on Mori-sempai!" They kept yelling. Haruhi continually retaliated, "No, I don't!" As Haruhi kept yelling, her blush kept turning redder. This continued until clumsy Haruhi bumped into a vase, knocking it down onto the marble floor (I'm just going to assume that it's marble, since Ouran is an INSANELY rich school). The vase shattered into a million pieces as Haruhi let out a loud gasp, as she tried to grab it.

Everyone's eyes (excluding Kyoya and Mori) stared at the remnants of the expensive vase.

The twins simultaneously said to Haruhi, "Aww, man...We were going to feature that in the upcoming auction. The bidding was going to start at 8 million yen." "EIGHT MILLION YEN?!" Haruhi almost fainted after she yelled (A/N: 8 million yen is over $100,000 or over £63,000). Haruhi started to stutter again. "I c-c-can pay you ba-back," Haruhi said quietly. The twins laughed harshly, "Ha! With what money? You can't even afford a uniform!"

The Host Club never thought to actually examine Haruhi's appearance. She had a prickly, over-sized sweater and long, black dress pants. She had very thick glasses, probably passed down. They could tell she had trouble seeing through them, as they probably weren't the right prescription.

"Well, the uniform costs 300,000 yen!" Haruhi retaliated (A/N: 300,000 yen is more than $3,700 or more than £2,300). The twins replied, "That's the point, Haruhi. If you can't afford a 300,000 yen uniform, how would you ever be able to pay back 8 million yen, for a broken vase?"

Haruhi sighed and said, "I guess you have a valid point, guys... So what are you guys gonna do about the vase?"

"We actually don't have a clue. Kyoya-sempai?" The twins said simultaneously. Kyoya looked up from his laptop, "Why are you asking me? Ask your humble President."

The twins sighed and asked, "Boss? What are we gonna do about Haruhi?" (A/N: The twins are referring to Tamaki as 'Boss', since he is the leader of the illustrious Host Club.) Tamaki, being his overly dramatic self, exclaimed, "Well, Haruhi. You know what they say. 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Since you are financially unable to repay your debt to the Host Club, you will pay back with physical labor! From this point on, you are the Host Club's dog."

*This may seem very similar to the anime/manga, but it will change a lot in the coming chapters.*
