The first day of a new semester dawned at the school of Ouran Academy. The rich and frivolous gathered around the gates in the morning. Fall term had ended, and spring term had just begun, though anyone and everyone could hardly call it spring. The students slowly poured into their classes, and they rejoiced over the sight of friends, and scowled over the sights of those not so friendly. This particular day was also the first day of a transfer student. She had attended the middle school at Ouran until her second year's first term when her parents separated and she was taken back to Germany with her mother. She lived outside Berlin with her mother, and she was returning when her mother was found unfit to be her guardian and she was allowed to go back to her father in Japan. She turned the corner of the school, slightly lost, when she collided with a body and almost lost her footing.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" She said, as she looked up into the eyes of taller student, a male, lanky with blonde hair and amethyst eyes. She blinked, he was very attractive she thought, and she blushed as he smiled at her, and turned himself towards her,
"No harm done." He said gently, still holding the charming smile he had had a second before. She smiled back, still lightly flushed. Her shoulder length russet hair tied back in matching buns on the backside of her head, and her yellow dress brushed her petite legs. His height surpassed her greatly, as he stared down at her. She looked as though she was to say something else, but the words seemed to be stuck in her mouth,
"I- uh, I'm lost!" She blurted awkwardly, he grinned, and he reached out for the paper in her hands. She let go of her schedule and he glanced it over.
"I'm sorry for being rude," He said simply, still looking it over,
"But allow me to help you. I feel I should." He gave no reason for feeling such a way, but she wouldn't argue. He smiled,
"We have the same class." He said as he handed the paper back.
"I'll show you the way. I'm Suoh Tamaki from class 2A." He said as he extended a hand to her with a gleam in his eye. She smiled, and pushed a strand of her bangs behind her ear, and grasped his hand afterwards.
"It's nice to meet you, Suoh-Sempai. I'm Hyde Tatsuha from class 1A." She swallowed as his soft hand grasped hers gently, and let go. They chatted idly as they made their way down the hall. They reached a door, and Tamaki moved aside and ushered her in. She smiled and she pushed the hair behind her ear again, out of nervousness. She had always been shy around the opposite sex. As she entered, she glanced around the room. It was very large, and the only things in this room were about 20 pairs of pillows side by side on the floor, a desk in the corner covered in papers and a hat, and a sound system in the front. Tamaki approached from behind and seemed as perplexed over the room as she.
"This is odd." He mused. This class was listed as an elective theatre class. She'd been put in it by her father's request, and Tamaki had decided to take it with the rest of the host club. As the rest of the class filed in, there were assortments of characters, (pardon the pun xD) joining them for this course. Aside from the host club and Tatsuha, there were class 1A representatives here, a few other females; includes Tatsuha's cousin Tsuki; and the head of the Black Magic Club, also, resident gangster of Ouran, Ritsu Kasanoda. As the bell rang, all the students awkwardly looked around for some form of teacher. As they glanced, huddled together whispering, the door opened and a woman entered. She carried a water bottle, and jingled from the large amount of necklaces around her neck. She had frazzled, dyed blonde hair, and she wore a pants suit with sea turtles on the pants legs. She smiled widely as she entered the room, and she boomed,
"Hello Hello!" She saw how stunned the students were and she laughed wildly, throwing her head around eccentrically,
"I'm Nana-Sensei! Everyone have a seat in pairs please!" She said as she motioned towards the pillows. They all glanced at each other, and they slowly made their way to the pillows along the walls. Tatsuha sat, and expected to be alone, when Tamaki stood before her,
"May I?" He asked her, with the same smile that made her blush earlier. She spoke quickly,
"Of course!" She said, her voice cracking lightly. He laughed lightly and nodded as he turned to see the pair that had sat behind them.
"HI TATSUHA!" A rather busty female screeched at his companion. He knew the girl as Tsuki Hyde of class 1A and a close female friend of Kyouya. He connected the dots that due to the last name they must be family. As Tatsuha started to speak, another joined them. Kyouya sat next to Tsuki and he pushed his glasses up on his nose,
"It's nice to finally meet you, Ms. Hyde. Tsuki speaks highly of you." He said, with the nonchalant regard he gave all other sentences. He glanced down his nose at her, with a smile. She smiled back, and dipped her head,
"You must be Ootori Kyouya?" She said, her voice the same shy tone Tamaki had gotten earlier. Deep down, he was glad it wasn't just him that made her that way.
"Yes." He said with a smile, they started light conversation between the four of them, until they heard clapping from the front of the room.
"Alright, alright! My name as I said is Nana, and I only expect to be called that. My last name doesn't matter. So, this is Theatre class, but not like you'd expect. As you noticed, I have no desks. I believe they are a hindrance to learning. You will come in and sit in pairs each day. I would love for you to mix up whom you sat with, but it makes no difference to me unless I tell you otherwise. We will be working towards getting over ourselves enough to make a beautiful play at the end of this class; but you have to lighten up. This will be achieved by a few ways. A lot of it involving music because I love to sing, and I can't well, so I know you can sing better then me, and since I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself, you will learn to be the same way. Alright? So, with that being said, we will get our first assignment underway!" She screeched proudly. She didn't care to know their names, she would learn them in time, and that was all that matters. She ventured towards her desk, grabbed the hat, and she shook it around a bit, revealing that there were names in the hat. She grinned at her antics, and she moved back to the front of the class,
"So, I will be pulling names from this in pairs of 2. Those groups will be singing a romantic duet on Friday of next week. I'll assign you a song, and you may use my music to learn it together. Stand as your name is called, and please pair off! Good luck!" The class glanced awkwardly at each other, and they all started to get a little nervous. What was up with this woman? They all were wondering that as she pulled out the first pair.
"Jade Zondae and Kaoru Hitachiin!" Kaoru stood as his name was called, and a short brunette did as well. Jade moved towards him as Nana waved the twin formerly seated by Kaoru away. They sat together, and she continued.
"Make sure when your name is called, you sit with your partner the rest of this week. Okay, next we have Tamaki Suoh and Tatsuha Hyde!" She looked around, and the pair already seated together glanced at each other and stood. She smiled, and nodded. She finished calling the rest of the class, and she pulled some slips of paper from her pocket and dumped them into the hat. She told one member of each group to come to her, and get a song. She would then give them the music. Tamaki slowly approached her, and he reached into the hat, revealing a song called "All I Ask Of You". She smiled fondly,
"My personal favorite!" Nana cried. She handed him a music sheet with a mask and a rose on the front, revealing to Tamaki that the song was from Phantom Of The Opera. He returned to Tatsuha, and flashed the music at her,
"Do you know this song?" He asked. She nodded,
"I do." She said quietly, blushing again. Her blush made Tamaki smile. He often made women blush, but there was something cuter about hers that he couldn't put his finger on. He shook the thoughts away, and they sat down to look over the music.
The rest of the week passed relatively uneventfully, as the groups got ready for the weekend, praying the other wouldn't forget what they had learned. As Tamaki sat at home in the afternoon on Saturday, his father moved into the room, getting his attention.
"We've been invited to dinner at a friend of your grandmother's. She says to look presentable." He said, rolling his eyes mildly as he recited his mother's words to his son. He was the parent, not her, but she took more care in making Tamaki's decisions then he was allotted the privilege of doing, but he never argued. He showered and redressed himself, moving towards the main house at the time he was told. He was forced into a limo, and sat cross-legged diagonal from his grandmother.
"Do not embarrass me, boy." She threatened. He nodded, and kept his hands on his lap, and his eyes on his hands. As they arrived, he followed his father into a room with another; the man behind a bar looked up and smiled as he and his father entered the room.
"Yuzuru!" Cried a voice Tamaki didn't recognize.
"Hello Akio." His father said, moving to embrace the man who emerged from behind the bar. As they turned to Tamaki, it was revealed that they were childhood friends, and their mothers were also friends. As they took seats on the balcony with drinks and Tamaki given water they began to reminisce. Tamaki tuned them out, glancing around this estate. It was large, shrubs beneath the balcony lead into a hedge maze, and at the end of the hedge maze was a pool. French doors from several rooms led out to this balcony, and the house was about 3 stories. In one of the windows, Tamaki could see the older women seated around a table, and one he guessed to be the hostess giving toasts, and pulling a girl into the room, and making her sit behind the piano. She began to play, and her grandmother stopped her after several songs,
"They want to hear the Reflection song you sing so well!" She cried. The girl, keeping her head low nodded, without so much as a second thought. Her voice was light, and reminded Tamaki of someone, he couldn't pick out whom though,
"Non, jamais
Je ne serai faite pour le mariage
Ni une fille bien sage
Je le sais
Cette vie n'est pas pour moi
J'ai compris
Que si je veux rester ce que je suis
Mes parents seront meurtris
Quel est dans ce mirage?
Cette image sans visage?
Pourquoi miroir réfléchis-tu sans me voir?
Je cherche en ma mémoire
Qui je suis pour savoir
Perdu dans ces réflexions
Où mon âme s'égare
Dans mon miroir d'illusion
Quelle fille je vais voir." * She finished, and her grandmother sighed, "Always in French! Never in a language anyone can understand." She said to her friends, the older women smiled, and shrugged,
"Beautiful, Darling." They said to her, she put her head down in a bow, and she slowly got up from the piano. She pushed her hair behind her ear, and she moved from the room before Tamaki could see her face. Akio and his father moved up behind him, glancing into the window as she left, getting Tamaki's attention. He looked bothered.
"Does she always sing about such a sad topic?" He asked his father's friend.
"Only when her grandmother pesters her. Truth be told I couldn't tell you what on earth that song is about. Do you know?" He asked Tamaki, who nodded.
"It's about not being good enough for her family." He said, morosely.
"I suppose Tatsuha probably does feel that way around her Mother, but she doesn't bother with her anymore, so Tatsuha's much better now." He said sipping his drink,
"Tatsuha? Hyde Tatsuha?" Tamaki asked, interest suddenly perked,
"Yes." His father said behind his glass, smile slowly taking over his face. Akio had a face much like Tatsuha. Eyes glittered with laughter, as he led his company into the house.
"Mother, where did you scare my daughter off to?" He asked, startling the older women. His mother shot him a look,
"Why does it matter?" She asked, seemingly bothered.
"Perhaps a friend wants to see her." He said, sounding just as bothered. She looked perplexed. Akio rolled his eyes, and motioned to the boy standing behind him.
"They have a class together." He said simply. She didn't seem to be satisfied, but before she could speak, they'd moved on, and up the stairs. She rolled her eyes. Once at the top of the stairs, Akio pointed to a small room with the door cracked. The men stood in the hall way as they could hear conversation start to pick up. They retired back downstairs, and they could hear the women yammering on.
"Tatsuha is the last of my Grandchildren not to be married off, or promised to someone." One said.
"I don't approve of the company Tamaki keeps. He needs a woman who speaks when spoken to, doesn't talk with her mouth full, and looks like a woman." Then the conversation stopped, the women smiled lightly to each other, and retired to the kitchen.

So, that's the end for now! I know the writing got a little choppy towards the end, and I'm sorry! I'm trying to get this story on the right track, and it's proving hard. This story is set slightly AU, in the fact that the later part of the series simply happened a little earlier, meaning the festival simply happened at the end of the first semester, not the second. The song Tatsuha sang (cheesy as it is xD) is Reflection from Mulan.
"Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside"
Those are the words, if you didn't know, and just for giggles, if anyone cares, here is the rest of the cast list for the musical numbers:
Somewhere: Jade(OC) and Kaoru
All I ask of you: Tamaki and Tatsuha
Point of no return: Tsuki and Kyouya
Can you feel the love tonight: Mori and Hunny
A whole new world: Nekozawa and Kurakano
I won't say I'm in love: Hikaru and Kasanoda
Timeless to me: Kaede(OC) and Class rep
Until next time!
