Ch. 1
In the largest room, in a huge mansion, a 16 year old girl was getting ready for school. She let out a sigh a she stood in front of the mirror, gazing at her reflection in disgust. The dress that was the uniform of her school was awful! It was just so...yellow! She might have put up with it in her first year at the school, which admittedly, as she had only joined in the last two weeks, hadn't been too long, but this year would be different. She was not only the first 'official' female host, but had also started dating one of her fellow host club members during the summer. No, this year she wouldn't be caught dead in that monstrosity. She tiptoed into her older brother's room and opened the wardrobe slowly, careful not to wake him. Perfect. He had kept his old tie and blazer, and since he'd now left the school he wouldn't need them... quickly she grabbed the two items and snuck back out of her brother's room, returning to her own to change. She put on a short pleated skirt, opaque black tights and a fitted white shirt, then put on her brother's tie and blazer and glanced in the mirror quickly. It wasn't perfect, the blazer was a little large and not tailored quite right for a girl, but Hikaru and Kaoru would be able to fix that when she got to school... A shout from one of the maids downstairs cut across her thoughts of fashion and friends, filling her with exasperation.
"Miss Saruwatari!? One of you little friends is on the phone, he says his name is 'king'...he wants you to be in the third music room at school in 20 minutes for an important announcement...should I get Kazuma-san to ready the car?"
"Hai, hai... I'll be down in a few minutes Akita...and how many times must I tell you to call me cyanide?"
Shaking her head and muttering she picked up her bag and headed downstairs. what could tono want? Probably something to do with 'welcoming us back'...or maybe he finally found out where honey lost usa-chan.. She as she thought of all the excuses her naïve senpai could have for calling everyone into school 3 and a half hours early. Kyouya is probably still asleep... he's NOT going to like this...

It was early morning in a dingy two bed flat, belle had just woken from a restless nights sleep filled with nightmares of her expulsion from her "posh" boarding school, and seeing cyanides upset face when she had hugged her goodbye for the last time…
As she got ready for school she looked in the mirror, as per usual, her flyaway brunette hair wouldn't behave. And as she struggled to pull it back into a neat pony tail, it just hung in loose curls, framing her face. She wandered back into her bedroom, it was small, smaller than her room at the boarding school, but it was warm, and comfortable. That was all that mattered. The walls were covered in posters of bands and movies. She turned on her iPod, the most expensive thing she owned besides her laptop, and started to dress. She opened her wardrobe and found that all of her clothes had been removed, and replaced with a single yellow dress. It looked like the dress from her former school, except it was BRIGHT. Belle looked puzzled as she changed into the dress…had her adopted mother finally found her a respectable school to go too?
She stepped out the front door, a piece of dry toast in her hand, her battered school bag in the other, her first priority was to find her guardian, and find out about this new school. But just as she stepped out of the door, she was suddenly dragged into an ominous black limousine.
Laughter echoed in Belle's ears, as she entered the limo. Two red-headed boys were sitting opposite her, they looked the same, they were wither twins...or belle was just seeing double?

Meanwhile Cyanide was sitting in her limo. She sighed and closed her eyes, leaning back in her seat. She was lucky to have been adopted into such a rich family; after all she knew nothing about her real parents, or what her life would be like if she was still with them.
She had first been born in Japan, and then when she was adopted her family moved over to England, where she had grown up and where she had met her best friend, belle. Then, a few weeks before the end of the last school year, she had found out that her birth family were taking an interest in her, and wanted her to come back to Japan so she could go to one of the best schools around. At first she was excited, but she realized she would have to leave belle behind and try to make new friends. This hadn't proved too difficult of course, and soon she had ended up in the school's most popular club, as a valued member! And if that wasn't enough to push the host club's crazed fan girls over the edge, then news of the events over the holidays would do the trick...
The car door was opened and her driver smiled at her.
"Miss Saruwatari? Welcome to Ouran."
She pushed her childhood memories aside and faked a smile as she climbed out of the car.
"Arigatou Kazuma-san."
She waited for him to leave, then took a look around, smiling. i Just as I left it...now to wait. /i She had called Hikaru and Kaoru in the limo and they had asked her to meet them outside the school before she went to see their 'lord and master' Tamaki Suoh. i They better hurry, we're going to be late. /i Just as she thought that a car door opened behind her and out tumbled 2 smirking, identical, and very familiar faces.
"Ohio Gozaimasu!" They yelled together. She grinned back at them and hugged them both.
"Hikaru! Kaoru! What do you recon to my new and improved uniform eh?"
"Hmm..." was the reply, as both twins circled her closely, examining her clothes.
"The blazer is a little large..." said Kaoru.
"...not your size at ALL…" Hikaru continued.
"...it really hides your figure..." kaoru again.
"it's definitely an improvement!!" they both said, cheeky grins plastered on their handsome faces.
"Oi!" she pouted, hands on hips. "You don't LIKE my figure?" Hikaru raised an eyebrow at his brother, then stepped toward her, draping his arms around her waist, and kissing her gently.
"Course we do Cya... it's lovely, so are you…" he smiled, not a smirk but a genuine smile that almost melted her insides. It would have succeeded too, were it not from the gagging and retching noises that Kaoru was making in the background.
"Sorry to break up this love-fest, but tono wanted to see us, remember?"
Cyanide groaned and rolled her eyes, stepping away from her boyfriend and turning toward the main entrance. But neither twin budged.
"Well are we going or not?"
"Yeah, but first... We need to introduce you to someone." Then kaoru opened the door to their limo, and offered a hand to the beautiful girl inside.
"This is..." Hikaru began to introduce the two girls to each other, but was cut off by excited yelps from both of them.
"BELLEY!"
"CYA!"
- - - - - - - - -
"I can't believe I got dragged HERE, I mean I was a little peeved when I got expelled from our boarding school, but I never thought I'd end up at another school like it! Where ARE we anyway?" Belle ranted.
"Ouran Academy"' Kaoru added lazily.
"My real family sent me here, how did you get in belle?" asked Cyanide.
"I didn't…I just got dragged into a limo by those TWO, and I ended up HERE!"
"Tono thought it was for the best…" said kaoru
"…the element of surprise" Hikaru added.
"Tono?" Belle asked, puzzled.
"Our lord, the lord of the host club… crap! We should be there by now!" Cyanide grabbed a twin by each arm and dragged them towards the 3rd music room, and belle, unsure what else she could possibly do, followed reluctantly behind them to a world she never could have imagined.
