"Hey Haruhi, Kaoru." Hikaru said lightly sitting down. "Oh Kaoru, mom said there's something she needs to tell us when we get home today," Hikaru drawled; he was bored which was very bad considering it was first thing in the morning, if he was bored this early its was gonna take a hell of a lot to entertain him. He looked up at the board and saw the assignment for today. Ugh so sick of school, he thought broodingly. The teacher walked in the class room quickly and set her bags down.

"Attention students, attention," she said strongly "we have a new student today," a hint of pride slipped in, "she is from America so please try to be good friends with her." Haruhi looked up from her text book and Kaoru just looked at the teacher. "I'd like you all to give a warm welcome to miss Tori Zettek" she finished.

The door to the class room slid open a girl walked in and took her standing place in front of the class. She had short hair that had recently been dyed dark purple she was wearing the girls uniform, only it was different she had the yellow part of the dress dyed black and the white parts of the dress dyed purple. She had also cut the dress a bit, the sleeves were sliced into strands that hung over her arms and she had a studded belt around her waist everyone stared in awe. Some of the preppy girls shot her a judgmental look and some of the others just looked at her thoughtfully.

"My, my" the teacher said "look how creative she is – you'll do well in the arts department my dear" the teacher stuttered out "well Tori please introduce yourself to the class." Tori looked up at the other students.

"Hello" she said hesitantly "I'm Tori Zettek, my friends in America called me Torin, I like to draw read write and sing" she continued strongly "I am here because I was offered a job with a fashion company here, I will be living with my employer in their mansion" she smiled cutely "I'm very excited to be here and I hope to get to know all of you very well" she sighed. The teacher clapped.

"Ok now lets see were we should put you ah Hikaru Hitachiin please stand" the teacher looked at Tori "you will sit next to Hikaru" Tori nodded and quickly went to her seat. Hikaru turned and examined her once again when she sat down.

"Hello" he said she turned her head to him "I'm Hikaru this is my brother Kaoru and this is Haruhi" they all smiled at her she smiled back. "So you are a fashion designer?" he asked.

"No not really, I'm an artist. I like to draw my characters in cool outfits. A fashion designer in Japan came across my website and liked my ideas, so she gave me an opportunity to work with her; I always wanted to go to Japan" she smiled picking up her little blue tote bag and pulling out a large sketch book and opening it to the first page and showed it to Hikaru. It was an amazing drawing of a girl wearing an odd jacket and skirt.

"See stuff like this I drew mostly punk or emo clothing and she said she wanted to broaden the variety of customers she appealed to or something like that." She put the pad down and flipped to a clean page and began sketching something. Assuming that their conversation was over Hikaru turned to focus on what the teacher was saying. The day went along as usual same schedule first period had finished and math had begun. That was the worst to Hikaru he hated math to many rules to many regulations he turn his attention to Haruhi hoping she would do something interesting but no Haruhi was unfortunately very boring. He looked to Kaoru praying that he would pass notes with him or something but no Kaoru had decided to be a good student and pay attention to day damn him. Which left the new girl who was religiously sketching away in her book that was falling apart at the seams it looked like, he looked her over he didn't really know her that well but he was bored I mean really bored so he pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled something down on it then gently tossed it on to the sketch pad were she would see it. Tori spotted the paper and shot him a confused looked then looked back down at the paper slowly she opened it and read the contents.

So how do you like ouran?-hh

Fine I guess?-tz

Cool I think you'll like it here though you might not fit in very easily-hh

What else is new-tz

?-hh

The lunch bell rang and Hikaru folded the note they'd been passing and slipped it into his pocket he put his books away and began to leave with Kaoru and Haruhi but noticed that Tori was sitting alone in the classroom just sketching away. He turned back around and sat in a chair conveniently placed in front of her desk. "What 'ya doin?" He asked knowing full well.

"Drawing" she said simply "why aren't you off eating lunch?" she asked eyeing him.

"Why aren't you?" he countered she wasn't getting rid of him that easily.

She smirked "toshe, I just got here this morning my bags are in the office and I didn't pack a lunch I go to my employers house after school and the lunches out there are more expensive in the nicest five star restaurant in America" she replied as well. All good reasons but he wasn't about to let her win by leaving "and you?"

"I don't feel like it" Hikaru said indignantly he sounded like a child. "And I feel like making you a little more social"

"Why?" Tori asked confused "what do you have to gain by becoming friends with me?" she asked looking him in the eyes

"A new friendship with a cool person" he countered again why was he treating this like a battle of wits he didn't even know her why was he trying to?
"hmm interesting I suppose you expect me to smile say thank you and then open up as if we'd been friends sense birth" she gave him a skeptical look.

"Aww man you've foiled my plot" he laughed "you're a little skeptical aren't you?"

"I guess" the lunch bell rang and Kaoru was the first one to enter the room "hey Hikaru" Kaoru called "where were you at lunch?"

"I was getting to know this little one right here" he said patting her on the head. She growled everyone else entered the class room and the lesson caught up again. Soon the final bell rang and Haruhi Hikaru and Kaoru all headed to the host club.

"Oi Tori" Haruhi said Tori looked up from her putting her books away "you should come to the host club it's a lot of fun" Haruhi smiled.

"Sorry but no can do I have to get to my employers house I need to walk my things over and you know settle in" Tori smiled "but I might come tomorrow. And please call me Torin".

The Hitachiin twins laughed as they got out of the limo and began walking inside. Their mother greeted them at the door.

"Hikaru, Kaoru come inside there's some one I want you to meet" she said happily leading them inside after walking through the front room they entered the living room to see… Tori? Torin was sitting on their couch fiddling with the hem of her dress looking at the floor. "Tori honey id like you to meet my sons." Ms Hitachiin said Tori looked up and saw Hikaru and Kaoru her eyes widened and she smiled.

"I already have Ms Hitachiin their in my class at ouran" Ms Hitachiin smiled "I sit next to Hikaru" she gestured toward the twin on the woman's left. What she didn't know is that when she gestured to Hikaru she got it right and that that was significant.

"Well then" Ms Hitachiin said "my boys will take you to the guest room and don't forget tonight there will be a formal welcome diner party for you so dress appropriately" she smiled

"Ano ms Hitachiin I really don't have any formal wear" Tori said flustered she didn't expect this sort of thing.

"oh don't worry about that dear we have all the latest fashions that will look great on you the boys here will help you get a dress" she said Tori nodded and picked up her luggage to fallow the twins "oh no dear the boys will take that" and they did so she fallowed them up to her new room. When they reached the room they all entered the twins set down her luggage and stood there.

"The clothes are in a different room if you'll fallow us" they said

"Oh I need to put my stuff up real quick so just go on ahead and I'll catch up" Tori said grabbing her two suitcases.

"No its ok we'll wait" Kaoru said Hikaru just nodded. She smiled and thanked them she pulled the first suitcase up next to the bed she opened it to reveal it was full of C.D.'s, books, sketch books, art supplies, mangas, and anime DVD's. She quickly set all her things up in order around her bed and began putting her clothes into drawers the whole ordeal took about 15 minuets. "Ok I'm ready" she said happily. The twins led her into a room filled with dress jeans tops all sorts of things they pulled her into a certain area where there were lots of formal dresses lined up in a row all of them looked like something her really old (former, not friends from when she was in America friends from before she got out of the wrong group of mean bitchy girls and in to the group of punk ass good guys) friends would were, not her she didn't do this whole fancy thing she stopped wearing dresses when she entered middle school. She frowned and Kaoru looked offended.

She noticed "sorry" she apologized "I just don't like this girly stuff much it reminds me of…" she trailed off Hikaru gave Kaoru a confused look Kaoru shrugged. She shook her head clearing her thoughts "my bad do you have any thing that I would wear?" she asked they lead her over to the small corner.

"judging by the way you changed your uniform these dresses will suit you just fine" Hikaru said matter-of-factly she thoughtfully looked at all of then and then picked up a purple and black tight fit upper body, and right as it meats the hips it poofs out like an old fashioned ball gown. It was a plain black with a gorgeous purple embroidery she never expected to find something like that here she picked it up gave it a long hard look her face sadden and she put it down.

"What's wrong I thought you'd love that dress" Kaoru said surprised "is it too girly?" he continued.

"No it's amazing so elegant yet bizzar at the same time" she glanced over at it again longing on her face "it would look awful on me though" she gave a small smile. "Do you have anything a little tackier? That would suit me more." Hikaru and Kaoru scowled. Hikaru grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the make shift fitting room (aka a cheap curtain) Kaoru grabbed the dress and threw it at her as they both shoved her into the fitting room.

"Try it on!" they yelled at her "but" her voice came from behind the curtain "just do it" they yelled at her again. After a moment or so she stepped out of the make shift fitting rooming blushing and obviously uncomfortable. They blinked and Hikaru blushed badly what's wrong this never happened with Haruhi? She looked up at them and noticed that they were looking at her weird.

"see I told you" she shouted she was embarrassed really embarrassed "I'm not pretty enough for this damn dress" she said fuming she began going back into the dressing room tears in her eyes she hated when shit like this happened she knew how ugly she was why did people try to remind her? As she tried to enter the room a hand stopped her and turned her around to look at him. "What?!" she said aggravated she didn't want to hear this not from him, what did Hikaru know about being ugly? He was beautiful he didn't get it.

"You look amazing" Hikaru whispered and let go Kaoru nodded

"He's right you look great" Kaoru added she smiled.

"Thank you that means a lot" she said damn she sounded like the not so confident heroine in a cheesy shojo manga. "Alrighty then cheesy moment over." She said "I'm not entirely sure but I'm pretty sure your supposed to wear make-up to these things and I really don't have any" she shrugged they looked shocked she glared at them "NOT GIRLY" she reminded them.

"No worries Hikaru handles hair and I do make-up so your set" Kaoru said.

"you guys are like a frickin' design team you know that?" she said bitterly they ignored her comment and dragged her back to her room Hikaru pulled her over to the vanity and sat her in the chair she didn't realize that Kaoru was gone till a moment after he disappeared. "Where'd Kaoru go?" Tori asked uncomfortable Hikaru noticed and looked slightly offended but she couldn't be sure." I thought he was supposed to do my make-up" she covered she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Hikaru thought of a way to mess with her and toke advantage of the situation.

"Oh well your supposed to do hair first and he needed to change for the diner" he smirked "if I didn't know any better id think you wanted my brother in hear touching your face" she blushed and punched him in the arm, hard.

"Ok sorry but I don't take kindly to annoying perverted comments like that" she said angrily and turned to face herself in the mirror. "If you're supposed to do my hair then do it frankly I could just put it up in a neat pony tail and then your services wouldn't be needed" she glared at him so that he knew she meant what she said.

"Hardly this is a formal event a neat ponytail isn't going to cut it now what do you want to do up or down?" he asked pushing her hair up and down as he spoke trying to emphasize.

"I don't care pick what ever you feel like doing" she shrugged he nodded and looked thought fully at her face in the mirror "what are you doing?" she asked blushing slightly.

"I'm trying to figure out which will look better on you." He said

"Oh" she whispered blushing more "well just do something" she said scowling to hide her embarrassment he gave her an upset look in the mirror. "What?" she asked

"You frown a lot it's not good for your face you'll get wrinkles" Hikaru lectured.

"Well having wrinkles doesn't bother me" she said indignantly "I'm not a preppy bitch obsessed with looks". She looked in the mirror at him and gave him a harsh look "by the way I dress you should have figured that one out by now" she said smiling "maybe you're not as smart as you led on".

"I'll put your hair up" he said changing the subject or he wasn't listening. He reached up to grab the hair that was up near her face and pulled it back his fingers gently grazing her ear and the sensitive skin under it. She visibly shivered and prayed that Hikaru didn't notice, well gods never been close friend of hers. He smirked. "Oh does our unshakeable rock have a weakness?" he asked still smirking, in a panic she shook her head hoping he would believe her, he didn't. "Oh really I could've sworn that when I did this..." he ran his fingers along her ear again and she shivered again. She immediately covered her ears.

"I just have a small problem with my ears and my neck" she said then quickly placed her hand over her mouth "damn it!" she swore he smirked more only now it was practically a full blown grin. Hikaru being the man of science he is decided to perform an experiment and so he ran his hands over her neck and she shivered more, she then turned around and angrily bit the hand that was caressing her.

"STOP!" she yelled the beginnings of tears in her eyes. "What kind of person takes advantage of a person's weakness?!" (Other than her of course ;-p) she punched him again in the arm causing him to fall over and hit his head. she sighed calming down a little "I'm sorry for acting so rash" she said sincerely and sat back down "just please don't do it again!" she said he nodded got up and tried to regain balance he walked over to where she was sitting and placed a hand on her head.

"I wont I apologize that was in appropriate of me" he smirked "and I wont tell a soul" he finished. the rest of the time they spent together was silent as Hikaru finished her hair and she had to admit it looked really good her bangs were down as well as a small strand of hair covering her ears and the rest of her hair was done up in two cute little buns on each side of her head. "I'll go get Kaoru" he said he didn't really look at her; he wanted to see the final project all together rather than little by little.

Kaoru entered the room with a smile on his face. "You get to meet the host club!" he said with a grin. Tori just popped a huge ? Above her head and looked confused as he sat her down in a chair and he sat on the bed in front of her. "Their close friends of me and Hikaru's" he clarified "you know Haruhi in our class? He's in it to" she raised her eyebrows remembering Haruhi ask her to come to this "host club" she couldn't speak because he was doing her make up. With a black lip pencil he lightly traced her thick lips and made quick work of them. He then moved to her eyes with a thick black eye liner.

"So this host club" she asked "what are they like?"

"Well there are different types of guys there's the prince type the cool type the Lolita boy type the wild type the little devil type and the natural type." He finished well she knew which one those two were "Tamaki is the prince type and Kyoya is the cool type Tamaki is really nice but stupid and Kyoya just try to avoid him." Kaoru continued "I think you and Haruhi can become good friends" he smiled.

"Well I hope so she seems like a really cool person" Tori said. Kaoru gulped

"You mean he" he tried to correct Tori shook her head.

"I mean she" she said "I know she's pretending to be a boy and I don't really care what her reasoning for it is" Tori shrugged "it's a secret that I'll defiantly keep, besides I did that all the time in America dressed up like a boy to spy on certain people and to join sports teams I'm an expert the only problem is I cant any more" Kaoru cocked an eyebrow asking why she couldn't "I grew boobs" she said simply "damn things are truly a pain in the ass". Shortly after that the conversation ended and they decided to go out to the party. Yes it had begun the guests were arriving and she had to go down.

She descended the steps gracefully (or as close as she could get) and unfortunately drew the attention of every one in the firkin room. When she reached the bottom she was greeted by a group of pretty boys includeing hikaru and kaoru. Oh great "hello" said the tall blonde in the front he gently grabbed her chin and turned her head to look him in the eye hikaru unintentionally scowled at the sight and didn't even notice. "you must be the new princess in school I'm tamaki and it is a pleasure to…" before he could even finish speaking she had knocked his hand away from her and struck up a conversation with Haruhi. Tamaki then got depressed and went into the corner to be sad unfortunately tori noticed, and she felt bad. She stopped her conversation with Haruhi and went to comfort tamaki (yes she does have a heart no I'm not joking).

"hey tamaki" she said lightly and he looked up at her and she crouched down next to him "sorry for being so rude" she said and placed a hand on his back "I just dont like to be touched" she said finally. He jumped up and hugged her thanking her for being so nice then told Haruhi to act more like her "damn you bounce back fast" she said.

"hello" a dark voice came from behind tori. Startled she turned to see a tall dark haired boy standing over her. "I don't belive we've been properly introduced" he said smoothly. She shivered something in his voice she didn't like.

"oh hello" she said properly smileing at him "and you are…"

"kyoya" he smirked "you look lovely" he bent down to whisper in her ear "very queen of the night". Unfortunately for kyoya Hikaru was watching. Shadow king or not he didn't like what kyoya was doing and tori obviously didn't either. Tori was making an emormouse effort into staying polite.

"oh well…" tori started but was inturupted when Hikaru pulled her close to him.

"sorry kyoya im gonna steal her for a moment" he said politely taking her away from kyoya. After they were a safe distance away Hikaru turned to tori and looked at her seriously. After a moment of him stareing at her she tried to move away he grabbed her arms and made her look at him. "I thought kaoru told you to keep away from him" he said seriously.

"sorry Hikaru I talk to who ever I want" she said looking him in the eye challenging him.

"tori that guy isn't good news" Hikaru said answering her challenge.

"oh and I look like a good guy" she said angrily. "chill hikaru I can take care of myself." She sighed "and he's tamaki's friend no matter how stupid tamaki is he knows good people from bad people".

"al right" he backed off "but you do need to be careful" she rolled her eyes and began to socialize with Haruhi.

After a little while the party ended and Hikaru kaoru and tori saw all their friends off. All the people had left and they closed the door tori turned around and saw the damage. "oh man this is gonna be hell to clean" Hikaru and kaoru looked at her confused.

"uh we do have maids you know" kaoru said tori smiled.

"being rich must be great" she sighed "im tired but I really don't want to make them clean all this" she said uncertainly "im gonna go to bed" she decided.

End chapter 1!
