Disclaimer: Welcome to the sequel of Different! If you haven't read Different, turn back now! You wouldn't understand. But for those of you who have read Different, enjoy this sequel! ^_^ This story is still based on my life. Again, I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. Wish I did, but I don't -_-

Chapter 1

"Kaoru. Kaoru get up!"

I groaned and rolled over on my side, pulling the covers over my head.

"Kaoru!" Hikaru yelled, grabbing a pillow and slamming it over my head.

"Ow!"

"Get up! It's time for school!"

I pushed the covers off my head and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "You didn't have to hit me so hard. I would've eventually got up you know."

"Well it didn't look like it. Now hurry up or you'll miss breakfast," Hikaru said, walking out of the room.

I sighed and looked at the clock.

It had been a full year since I got out of the hospital, and Hikaru and I have been…going our separate ways I guess you could say. After I told Hikaru that we weren't the same, we've been doing different things. Sure we'd still talk in unison and things like that. But now we're doing things separately. Instead of playing video games together, he'd play them by himself while I read a book. We ate different foods instead of the same foods we always ate together. We even got our own separate rooms. Well, people need their space too right?

After I got out of the hospital, I still had to go in for MRIs to see what the status on my brain tumor was. Every time I went, the doctors would say that nothing has changed. The tumor wasn't growing or shrinking. Probably because the thing was too small for them to even tell whether or not it was growing or shrinking.

I got up out of bed and walked over to my closet. It was the first day of high school…so I wanted to dress somewhat nice. Not that it mattered anyway; we'd eventually get uniforms to wear everyday.

I pulled out a pair of nice jeans, and a t-shirt. I wanted to look presentable when I got to high school. I mean…I was going to be part of the Host Club after all.

The Host Club.

The club Tamaki-sempai asked me to join. The club Hikaru wasn't very fond of. I honestly thought it was a good idea. It would open up my world a little bit. That was probably the reason why Hikaru didn't like the idea. But I didn't care. I was in control of my life, not him.

After I fixed my hair, I walked downstairs and saw Hikaru waiting by the door.

"Bout time you got down here."

I sighed. "Well sorry! I had to get ready!" I rushed into the kitchen and quickly fixed myself a piece of toast and ate it on the way out the door.

"Great, now we're going to be late," Hikaru grumbled.

I rolled my eyes as we filed into our limo. "Hikaru, I know you're upset about the whole Host Club thing, but there's no need to get angry at me!"

"I'm not angry at you Kaoru," he said, not meeting my eyes.

"Yes you are! If you have something to say to me just say it! To my face!"

He was silent for a moment, and then finally looked at me. "I just…don't trust that guy."

"Who? Tamaki-sempai?"

"Yeah," Hikaru nodded. "I mean, he just comes up to us, asks if we want to be a part of some club we've never heard of, goes through our files, apologizes, and then comes back and asks us the same question from the beginning! I mean…does that not make you feel suspicious?"

"Hikaru…there's no need to get suspicious. He just wanted us to join."

"But why Kaoru? He didn't even know us, and he asked us! If you ask me, I think he wants something from us."

I rolled my eyes and looked out the window. Hikaru was just being stupid. I'm sure he'd get over it eventually.

As we slowly pulled up to our new school, I saw Tamaki-sempai waving to us by the entrance. My face lit up and I rushed out of the car up to him.

"Kaoru! There you are!" he said, giving me a soft hug.

"Hey sempai!"

"How've you been? How's your condition?"

"Good. The doctors can't tell if my tumor is growing or shrinking yet. But I'm feeling good, how bout you?"

"Good actually."

I smiled.

"Uh, I'd hate to break it to you guys but, we have school!" Hikaru butted in.

I rolled my eyes. He's never been this eager to get into school.

"Here, let me show you guys to your classes," sempai said, leading us into the school.

As I started following after him, Hikaru laid a hand on my shoulder. "That's okay, I'm sure we can find our way."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. C'mon Kaoru."

As Hikaru pulled me into the school, I looked back at Tamaki-sempai and lipped 'I'm sorry'.

He gave me a soft smile and said, "After school, I'll show you where the Host Club is taking place!"

Hikaru groaned. "Host Club this, Host Club that! God, when is that guy gonna let it go? We will be there!"

"Hikaru, you are way too protective, you know that?" I said.

"Well…I have a right to be! I don't want to see you hurt Kaoru!"

I smiled and shook my head. Same old Hikaru, always looking out for me.

We eventually found the counselor's room and received our schedules. Hikaru looked at mine, as I looked at his.

"Looks like we got the same classes," Hikaru said.

"Looks like it."

"Well, that's good! The more classes we have together, the more I can protect you!"

I rolled my eyes again. "You don't have to protect me 24/7 you know Hikaru."

"I know…but I want to!"

I sighed. See? This is why we needed our space.

We started looking for our classroom when we realized that we were lost.

"How the hell are we supposed to find our classroom when this building is two floors, and however many halls there are?" Hikaru ranted.

"Calm down Hikaru, I'm sure we'll find it," I said looking around.

He sighed in frustration and kept looking as well.

Finally, we came up to a room with a sign above that read "1-A".

Hikaru and I swapped glances.

"Is this it?" I asked.

"Looks like it," Hikaru said, as he opened the door and walked into the room.

I took one final look around the school and up at a clock. Only eight more hours till we get to go to the Host Club.

I sighed and followed Hikaru into the room.

Those eight hours were going to feel like forever.

Well, there you have it…chapter one. I really didn't like writing this chapter. It seemed so slow. But I promise you that it gets better from this point on! Hope you liked the sequel so far! ^_^ Please leave a review and tell me what you think! Love you all!
