CHAPTER 1: Promise
A foggy evening, the sun drifting into the horizon. Gentle foot steps were creeping towards her. She had no intentions of running away though. Haruhi looked towards the sound of the foot steps. Wanting, needing to know who those gentle footsteps belonged to. The owner came into view it was a women. "Haruhi," she gently said, coming into full view. Haruhi gasped. There stood her mother, just as Haruhi remembered her. "Mother," Haruhi said, tears began streaming down her face. Her mother embraced her in a hug. "Haruhi, I need to tell you something important, I cannot stay with you much longer," her mother said. Haruhi looked up at he mother. She had missed that face so much. Her dad was great but he was a DAD, even though he tried to dress as a women. "What do you need to tell me mother?" she asked, barely able to ask the question. Her mother let go of her and knelt down in front of her. Both of her hands on Haruhi's shoulders. "Haruhi no matter what, stay true to your heart, okay?" he mother asked her. A gentle smile was on her face. Haruhi was surprised at the question, but answered quickly. "Of course mother, why wouldn't I?" Haruhi said. Her mother just smiled, and stood up. "You'll soon find out." With that being said her mother vanished. "MOTHER?" Haruhi yelled. Haruhi took a step forward to look for her mother but fell in to and abyss of darkness.
Haruhi screamed and sat up. She was in her bed, just like every night. She felt her forehead. It was covered in sweat. "Haruhi, are you alright?" Her father asked. He has just burst into her room. Haruhi was about to say she was okay but… I'm not okay, I'm a wreck. She began to sob. Her father tried to comfort her but it didn't work. He sighed. "You should get some sleep Haruhi, tomorrow is the start of the new semester, and you get to see Hikaru." Her father said hoping that would cheer her up. Haruhi immediately stopped crying. Hikaru. She had been going out with Hikaru for almost a month now. She had lost the memory of when they first started going out because of an accident. She didn't mind though. She knew she loved Hikaru and he loved her. But whenever she asked him how he asked her out his face would turn all dark and he would blow off her question. She didn't pressure him anymore about it. "Okay I'll go to bed," she told her father. Her father sighed with relief. He kissed her on the forehead and went back to bed. She grabbed the blanket Hikaru got her for a present. It was a soft brown blanket. He said it reminded him of her eyes. She smiled at the thought of Hikaru. He was always telling her how much she loved him. She did the same thing for him. Haruhi snuggled into her blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
"Haruhi!" Hikaru called. He was running toward her, he had a huge grin on his face. Haruhi smiled back. Seeing Hikaru made her feel better. He finally caught up to her. He looked to see if anyone was around, seeing that no one was around, bent down and kissed her. After a minute they separated. Haruhi was a bit dizzy; Hikaru was always so passionate when they kissed. No body at Ouran knew Haruhi was a girl, except the Host members. The rest of the school thought she was a boy because Haruhi always wore a boy uniform. They were walking to their homeroom now. "Hey, where's Kaoru?" she asked. Kaoru was usually with Hikaru. "Oh, he said he had something to do. He's been really distracted lately." Hikaru said, being distracted by Kaoru's strange behavior. Haruhi smiled. Hikaru saw her smiling and smiled back. When they got to the classroom they saw Kaoru talking to the foreign exchange student, Vanessa. Vanessa was from America. She had been in their class for about 2 weeks now. She had black hair that was short and had bangs over one eye. She wore glasses that made it seem like she was really intelligent. She got along with the Hikaru and Kaoru well because she was also a trouble maker. Actually, she was more like the class clown. Most of the time she would speak in both English and Japanese. She seemed to really like Kaoru. Plus, she was the only student to realize Haruhi was a girl. "Hi Hikaru and Haruhi," she said jumping up to greet them. Kaoru also got up, but seemed a little disappointed that they had arrived. Hikaru noticed this. He looked at Kaoru who just shook his head and mouthed the word 'later'. Kaoru didn't want Vanessa to hear him. "How have you been, Haruhi?" Vanessa asked placing her hands over Haruhi's. "I've been fine, you?" she replied. Vanessa smiled and leaned closer to whisper something to Haruhi. "Let's go shopping after the host club, okay?" she asked. Haruhi nodded. Vanessa was a regular customer at the host club. She would either chose Kaoru or Haruhi as her host.
RING RING RING
"That's the bell we better sit down before the teacher comes," Haruhi said going to her seat. The others went to their seats as well.
"Hikaru! Are you treating my daughter right? Tamaki said, face to face with a pissed of Hikaru. Ever since Haruhi and Hikaru had started dating Tamaki had accused Hikaru of 'treating his daughter like a slave'. "If I find out you're harming my daughter I'll-," Tamaki stared to say but Hikaru and hit him across the head. "Can you shut up?! I would never harm Haruhi!" Hikaru yelled at Tamaki. The club activities had just ended and everyone was getting ready to go home. "Hey Hikaru, I'm going to be home late okay?" Kaoru said to his older twin brother. Hikaru stopped arguing with Tamaki and looked up. This seemed to be part of a plan between them because Hikaru glanced toward Haruhi and nodded to Kaoru. Kaoru left, shortly followed by Kyouya, Honey and Mori. Haruhi looked at Hikaru but he just shook his head. He grabbed her hand and led her out of the room. "HE-HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?" Tamaki yelled at the closed door. Tamaki sat in the 3rd music room, totally forgotten.
I wonder why Hikaru brought me here Haruhi wondered as she sat down. Hikaru had brought Haruhi into the schools garden; they were sitting down on one of the benches deep within the garden. Hikaru placed his one Haruhi's and gazed deep into her eyes. He was kneeling in front of her. "Haruhi, I love you, so much." Hikaru began. Haruhi realized what he was going to do. Hikaru's hands shook on her hands. "Haruhi, will you-," he was about to say when… "Hallo, was tun Sie?" a blonde girl said. Hikaru and Haruhi jumped in surprise. The blonde girl was sitting on the tree above them. She had golden blonde hair and brown-red eyes. She also had very pale skin. She was laughing at Haruhi's and Hikaru's reactions. "Ihre köstlichen Blutperioden," she said sniffing the air. "Umm, I'm sorry but we can't speak German." Haruhi said hoping the blonde girl could understand her. The blonde girls smiled at her. Haruhi froze, something about this girl isn't right… "So sind Sie das Mädchen…I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't talk in German while I'm in Japan," she chuckled. "Me and my foster brother moved her today and we were just looking around the school. I'll be in class 1A starting tomorrow," she finished with a smile. "Oh…Umm, can I ask, what your name is?" Haruhi asked. The blonde girl looked surprised. She smacked her self lightly in the head. "Dumm ich, how could I have forgotten." She jumped down from the free and landed in front of Haruhi. "My name is Schönheit Blutmond, but you can call me Belle," Belle said. Belle looked behind her and called out something in German. Footsteps rapidly approached. A tall boy bout 17 years old stood next to Belle. He had deep red hair and his eyes were a dark brown with a hint of yellow in them. "This is Null Blutmond, Null means zero so just call him Zero, okay?" Belle said smiling. Haruhi had only one thought about Zero. He was plain out Beautiful.
