Chi Kagi tucked a strand of long white hair behind her ear as two girls in yellow uniforms passed her. She didn't wear the proper school because she couldn't afford it. She was wearing her purple checker converse, a pair of light blue worn jeans, a black tank, a green and cream striped sweater over that, and a black leather collar. She held her sketch book close to her as the girls passed her, not even noticing her.
As they passed she hears them talk about a host club and how they couldn't go because of some big test. Chi ignored that and tried to find somewhere quiet so she could relax and draw. All the libraries were loud and full. Two with only girls, one with guys, and the other two had combinations of both males and females.
She roamed the halls for inspiration, a bench, or even an abandon room. As she continued to walk she saw a sign that said Music Room #3.
"An empty music room? Well, I might be able relax in here," Chi said to herself quietly. She opened the door and saw a bright light as rose petals flue past her. Standing there were seven very attractive boys. One was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed. He had blonde hair and deep purple eyes. Next to him was a brunette with coffee brown eyes, who looked slightly like a girl. Behind him was a tall boy with black hair and stone grey eyes that had glasses in front of them. On the other side of the blonde were twins. They both had orange hair and yellow cat eyes. Standing by them were two boys. The first one was taller than the others. He had black hair and eyes that were so grey they looked black. On his shoulders was a blonde with brown eyes holding a pink… bunny? He looked like an elementary student in a male high school uniform which contained a blue blazer, black tie, dress pants, shoes, and a white button down.
"Ah! A new customer," said the taller blonde. The twins muttered something about a new toy as the shorter blonde jumped off the tallest male's shoulders. The taller blonde walked over to Chi handing her a white rose as he said, "Welcome, my princess. What brings you to the host club? I am Tamaki Suoh, king of the host club!" Chi grabbed the rose delicately with her thin pale fingers, bringing it to her nose for a smell.
He looked down and saw her outfit with a look of question on his face. The one wearing glasses looked at Chi and asked, "Chi Kagi?" She nodded slightly. He looked at the twins and brunette, "Isn't she in your class?" They nodded before the twins said, "Yeah, but she sat in the corner everyone thinks is haunted." Everyone shuttered except for the brunette. The shorter blonde jumped/ hugged Chi casing them to spin.
"Chi-Chan! Want to have some cake?" The shorter blonde said. Chi was trying to become less dizzy so she didn't answer. His taller, yet silent friend said, "Mitsukuni." The small one looked at him and walked back to him smiling, "Okay, Takashi." Tamaki had a hand over his mouth, as if in thought. The twins were on either side of Chi and very close to her.
"Don't be shy," started one of them. "Yes, being unnoticed is never a good thing," finished the other. They both had a finger under her chin, trying to use twinsets or yaoi. Chi stepped back in an attempt to remove herself from being a toy. The brunette walked up and said, "Don't mind Hikaru and Kaoru. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier. I'm Haruhi Fugioka and as you were told by Tamaki senpai, this is the Ouran Host Club." Tamaki grabbed Haruhi and started to do a spinning glomp yelling stuff like, "Good Haruhi!" and, "You learn so well!" Haruhi tried to remove himself, but it didn't work.
Right when Haruhi was going to yell for help Chi's hand moved in between them, pushed Haruhi to her shoulder, and was placed on the ground. They all looked at them. Chi's pale hand was around Haruhi's waist while Haruhi had a hand on Chi's shoulder. Chi didn't remove her hand as she stud, only an inch or two taller than the twins. Haruhi gained a rosy color.
Haruhi moved one of her hands to Chi's cheek while Chi's hands found a resting place on Haruhi's hips. They moved closer together and the other host leaned forward. All of a sudden they both pointed at them, Chi pointed with white rose, and said, "Pervs!" The host blushed as they laughed. Chi looked around to see if anyone was around. They were the only ones in the room.
"May I ask you a question?"asked Chi. Haruhi giggled, "You just did, but sure." Chi looked Haruhi over before asking, "Are you a girl?" Everyone in the host club went quiet for a second, but the twins broke the silence by saying how manly Haruhi was. Tamaki looked at Chi kind of ticked off when he said, calmly, "Why would you ask that?" Chi shrugged, "I don't know, but Haruhi seemed less dense then I expected when I picked him up." Tamaki laughed, "Maybe Haruhi went on a diet and didn't tell us."
Chi walked to the doors. When she opened the door she turned and said, "Tamaki, your right eye twitches when you lie."
Once the final bell rang for the day Chi walked outside. The sun was shining and there was a genital breeze, how could someone not like this weather. Chi didn't want to go home knowing what was waiting for her there, but she had to. She continued to walk on the sidewalk at a steady pace, until she heard someone call her name. She turned around and saw Haruhi walking to her.
"I'm glad I caught you. I need to ask you a favor," said Haruhi. Chi raised an eyebrow, "What kind of favor?" Haruhi smiled, "I need you to not tell anyone about me being a girl. I know it sounds confusing, but I owe the club a lot of money so I work for them. They thought I was a boy because of my hair, funny huh?" Chi nodded twirling some hair around her finger. They walked together continuing the conversation.
"Can I ask you something?" said Haruhi. Chi nodded with a smile. Haruhi started, "Well your hair. Is that your real color?" Chi chuckled then said, "It is, odd huh?" The brunette nodded in agreement.
They were outside the building Haruhi lived at going up the stairs, giggling. As Haruhi opened her door Chi pulled out her key to the door next to her. They smiled at each other and went into their apartments.
Chi looked around her house even though the lights were off. She heard a heavy snore come from the couch. The air had a heavy sent of beer. Her father had fallen asleep drunk after work. As quietly as she could she went through the hallways to her room. The walls were painted a dark blue and her carpet was purple. Her bed was in the corner with a window slightly above it. A white desk was across the room from the bed. The walls were bare except for one photo above her bed.
"Hey mom," she said placing her stuff down next to the desk. She sat on the bed looking at the photo. It was of a woman with long white hair and light blue eyes; they could've past as twins if Chi's eyes weren't the blue grey of her father. Her skin was pale, but not as pale as Chi's. She was wearing a pink sun dress that had no sleeves and ended at her knees, holding a black rose.
The woman just smiled at her. Chi smiled, "I met some very nice people, and you would have loved them. Well, I better get started on my homework." She walked to the desk and pulled out one of the text books from her bag and began to read.
When she finished her homework she looked at the door way to her room was open and a man was standing there. He had jet black hair and blue grey eyes were locked on Chi in anger. She just sat there like a deer in head lights.
"Why didn't you wake me?"he asked. The reason was that it wouldn't have mattered if she did wake him or if didn't. He would still be angry and yell at her. When she didn't answer he started to yell at her, bringing up things that didn't even apply to her. He came into the room and Chi stud up and moved in front of the bed. He just started beating her and she didn't cry or make a noise. She knew if she did, it would bring him pleasure.
Once he left the room, Chi locked the door and placing the chair under the lock. She opened the closet in her room. Pressing the play button on the stereo, Bye Bye Boyfriend by Fefe Dudson started to drown the room as she removed her sweater. She counted the new injuries on her shoulders and chest in the mirror. Twelve total. She started to cry as she drooped on the floor, her back on the desk.
She pulled a small blade out from one of the drawers and pressed it to her left wrist. A crimson liquid slowly came to the surface. The pain felt wonderful. Chi continued this motion, moving the blade to a slightly different spot. After about six more cuts she stopped and put the blade away.
Some days pasted and Chi got to know everyone in the club a bit better including everyone's name, some of the nicknames, and some random things about them. Otherwise everything stayed the same, sadly, this included Chi's home life. Kyouya also got a little information on Chi; she likes sweets, tea, coffee, and reading, normally won't show an emotion to you unless she feels comfortable, knows a variety of languages, and likes to draw a lot.
Chi looked at her cell phone clock after the alarm ring tone, I Don't Care by Apocalyptica, went off. She had five minutes to get ready for school if she wanted to get there early. She grabbed a black short sleeve shirt with blue and purple stars, a pair of black skinny jeans, her purple checkered converse, the black collar, and two wrist bands for her left wrist. Her bag had been repacked before she went to sleep. She slipped the bag over her shoulder and her cell into the front of the bag, after making sure it was off.
Chi didn't make a sound as she grabbed a box of rice balls from the refrigerator, for lunch, and left the house locking the door behind her. Turning she saw Haruhi walking out. Haruhi turned to her and said, "Good morning, Chi. You're up early."
"Yeah, well I thought I might be able to use my computer a little before school," said Chi. They walked down to the side walk as Haruhi said, "You're allowed to use them during free period." Chi looked a little shocked by this. They continued to talk about random topics including stores, doing something on Saturday, and some information on the hosts.
"So Kyouya's the shadow king?" asked Chi. Haruhi nodded. Chi lifted a finger to her lips, "Do you think he'd let me practice before the club starts tommarow?" Haruhi cocked her head to the side before saying, "Huh? Practice?" Chi scratched her head, "I play guitar, but I can't practice at home." Haruhi nodded, but asked, "Why can't you practice at home?" Chi stopped walking and looked down at her feet. Then she said quietly yet with anger, "My father hates it because it reminds him of mom."
Chi was on the brink of tears after saying that. Haruhi pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to her. Chi dabbed her eyes as Haruhi asked, "What happened to your mother?" With that one question Chi felt herself almost fall apart. She told Haruhi that her mother had died in a car crash when she was six. Her father didn't handle it to well and became an alcoholic. He started to beat her for no reason and had become darker because of it.
"Darker?" asked Haruhi. Chi scratched her head, "I say darker instead of emo or goth." Haruhi nodded, "Oh. Umm... I don't think you want me telling the others about this, do you?" Chi flashed the please-don't-tell-them eyes. They continued to the school and got their a little earlier then Haruhi needed to be. They even beat Kyouya there.
Chi sat on one of the couches with Haruhi continuing their talk about doing something on Saturday. Kyouya walked in, surprised to see someone there before him. They giggled causing him to raise an eyebrow.
"And what would you two be scheming?" he asked looking at them. The twins popped their heads in, "If anyone scheming" started one, "It's us," finished the other one. The placed themselves on either side of Chi as she turned to Kyouya and asked, "Kyouya, would it be okay if I came in here to practice before and or after club?"
Kyouya looked at Chi. "What do you want to practice?" Chi smiled, that was close to a yes, "My guitar." The twins looked at each other. Kaoru asked, "You can play guitar?" Chi nodded. Hikaru said, "Cool." Kyouya said, "Sure, why don't you practice tomorrow. We're not having club activities." Chi nodded with a smile. Tamaki, Mori, and Hunni came into the room. Hikaru and Kaoru both asked, "Can you play any other interments?"
"Only one other," said Chi. The twins looked at her and asked, "What?" Chi pointed at her mouth. Hunni asked, "You can sing?" Chi nodded as Tamaki walked in front of her. Extending his hand he said, "Then please, sing for us princess, sing." Chi took his hand and stood in front of them.
