*Authors note* This is a crossover of sorts...I like a lot of the ideas in Fruits Basket, but hardly any of the characters will be in this story, just part of the story line, this is mostly about Ouran Academy. I don't own either story, but everything that I add is all mine :) Please comment! I want to know what you guys think!
Chapter 1: I Hatch a Plan!
I had to get out of this school…St. Lobelia's Girl Academy was too much…I know I promised my parents that I would get a diploma, but I couldn't stand it here…I was curled up in my tent as I read todays school newspaper. Normally, I wouldn't be reading this, but todays headline had caught my eye. A girl named Haruhi Fujioka, it seems, became a part of the Host Club at Ouran Academy; but she pretended to be a boy…what an interesting girl…that's what I cannot stand about St. Lobelia's. There are no boys here, and girls get on my nerves so much! They are always complaining and talking behind each other's backs. It drives me nuts! Now don't get me wrong, I am not a boy crazy girl, not at all. I have really no interest in getting involved with them right now; I just would like to have some as my friends. They are much easier to deal with than girls.
Oh, before I go any farther with my story, let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Kaori Nakamura and I will soon be a second year at St. Lobelia's – that is unless I can get myself out…I am pretty short – just barely five feet tall – I have long blonde hair and green eyes and I usually have a pretty innocent look about me. I tend to be quiet but once you get to know me, I open up a bit more. My parents both died in a car accident last year, and I have been living in a tent by myself ever since. I have no relatives and no girls at St. Lobelia's that I would consider to be close enough friends; they all think I'm a little strange, so they tend to steer clear of me. Not that I'm bothered by that though. Anyway, back to my story!
On the last day of school, I decided that I would begin my attempt to get into Ouran Academy, but I wouldn't do this as a girl, I would go as a boy! When I got back to my tent, I hung my head upside down and chopped off my hair. I'd say a little over 12 inches lay on the ground when I was done. I put on a pair of my fathers nicest clothes and went over to Ouran. To make a long story short, I found the headmaster and applied for a scholarship. As I was leaving the office, I ran right into one of the students.
"Sorry," I mumbled, looking up at them.
"Hey, don't worry about it!" The guy had messy red hair and bright, mischievous green eyes. I gave him a small smile, then ducked my head and went on about my business.
So you won't lose interest in the story, I'll go ahead and tell you that I got in! I won't bore you with all the details of my summer, which mainly consisted of studying and taking the entrance exam.
Finally, the first day of school began. I was wearing my dad's old uniform as I walked to my first class. Looking around, I noticed that the red haired boy I had run into was in my same class, and it looked like he had a twin. They were standing next to a girl with short brown hair. She must be Haruhi I thought. Before class began, the teacher called me up to the front of the class to introduce me to everyone.
"Good morning class, I hope you all had a pleasant summer," the teacher began. "Let me introduce to you a new transfer student, Kaori Nakamura. I hope you all make him feel welcome."
The day went by in a blur, and soon, it was time. I was going to introduce myself to the Host Club.
