Chapter 1
"Why are rich people so noisy?" Haruhi wondered has she had to give up on the fifth study room she'd come across. She continued walking up to the top floor of the South Wing and down the corridor to the end of the North Hallway, searching for her last resort... The unused music room, also known as 'the third music room'.
She opened the door and what she found instead of an empty room was 'the Host Club'.
"Welcome!" They all said in unison expecting their first customer of the day.
"What?... It's only a guy!" The twins said in unison.
"There's no such thing, Hikaru, Kaoru. Men are also valuable customers." Tamaki said shushing the twins at the same time.
"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club scholarship student, Haruhi Fujioka." He said to Haruhi as she struggled to open the door and run away.
"How do you know my name?" She asked giving up on the door.
"It is my understanding that commoners would find it hard to fit into our elegant culture and that a scholarship student would need a lot of guts to make it let alone achieve anything." Kyoya replied.
"Thanks... I guess..." Haruhi said not too sure whether to take it as a compliment.
"That's right." Tamaki continued placing his arm around her shoulders "Even though you are the top student in our school, you are also the poorest. Probably poorer than a mouse."
"No need to make a big deal out of it..." Haruhi said.
"There is nothing wrong with poverty. You are in fact a hero. Hail the poor!" Tamaki then stated.
"Got to go. See y'all." Haruhi said walking back towards the door but she was once again pulled back.
"Hey, Haru-chan!" Hani said pulling her arm in a childish way "Is it true you're a hero? Did you get to save a princess?"
"I'm not a hero! I'm a scholar-... who are you calling to Haru-chan!?" Haruhi replied shouting.
"Waaaaa... He yelled at me..." Hani said running to Mori.
"However, I never expected the scholarship student to be gay." Tamaki commented.
"Gay?" Haruhi wondered not too sure she understood.
"Yosh, so what's your type? Wild man? Lolishota? Little devils? Cool type?" He then asked her.
"Eh?"
"Or would you rather try me?" He asked again, this time caressing her chin.
"What? No! Look, I was just trying to find some quiet place to study." She said pulling away from Tamaki and accidentally knocking over a vase from its pedestal. She tried to catch it but she wasn't fast enough and it broke as it hit the floor.
"Oh my, the vase by Rune we were planning to put up for auction..." Hikaru said.
"We so could have easily racked in 8 million yens." Kaoru added.
"8 MILLION YEN!" Haruhi shouted then slowly turning to them she said "…about paying for it?"
"Can you? You can't even afford our 300 thousands yen uniform." They replied in unison making her feel worse.
"What do we do Tamaki?" Kyoya then asked.
Totally changing his attitude, Tamaki replied: "You know the saying 'when in Rome do like romans do', well there is another one that says 'if you can't pay for it, pay it off with your body'. From today, you are the club's dog."
"What… I won't!" Haruhi exclaimed.
"You can't do anything. It's your fault that vase broke and you have to pay." Kyoya said smirking.
"My fault? You say this is my fault? You did not let me leave so it led to this event-" A girl cut Haruhi's explanation when she shouted,
"Haruhi Fujioka! There you are!" the girl then went to Haruhi and grabbed her arm. "The chairman was looking for you almost thirty minutes ago! Come on!" She said then pulled Haruhi out of the room.
The boys were left speechless.
"Well, boss. What about the vase?" The twins said when they broke out of their trance.
"Kyoya, cancel today's club activities. I'm going to my father." Tamaki stated before going out of the room.
"So what are we going to do about the vase?" Hani asked. Mori just gave him cake which he accepted greedily.
"I'm going to call someone who can piece it back together. Excuse me." Kyoya said leaving the room quietly.
"Huh." Hikaru said, also leaving, his brother following closely behind.
Mori and Hani continued eating the cake then also left the room.
