Hello Everyone! This is my first Ouran fanfic and second story ever so if the format is weird I apologize! This is going to be a one shot,(I think so at least), but I hope you enjoy it anyways!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, only my OC's.
It was a chilly night in Tokyo when Amelia Creed walked down a quiet street re-living moments of her childhood. Currently on leave from her first tour in the United States Navy, Amelia took a week to travel from the base she was stationed at in Yokosuka to Tokyo to visit some old friends. Leaning her head back she took in a deep breath and smiled. The air was crisp and the quiet bustle of the nearby shops comforted the weary soldier. The wind whipped her auburn hair and stung her cheeks but she embraced it.
It had been four years since she was in Japan. Amelia would have liked to have stayed longer, but when both parents are in the Navy one doesn't have much choice. She often had to move due to her parent's assignments. Smiling slightly Amelia shook those thoughts from her head and was just grateful that she still had both parents that loved her. Relishing in the cold Amelia started to jog to her destination, food. Despite the long absence from her childhood home, Amelia could still remember the way to her favorite ramen shop. It didn't look like much, but the food made up for the lack of upkeep. Amelia weaved in and out of people, excited by the prospects of a huge ramen bowl, and slipped onto a side street for a shortcut.
Slowing her pace Amelia tensed up feeling that something was off. About 20 feet from her was a group of drunk men fighting a kid that looked to be in middle school. From the looks of it the kid was handling himself well as far as Amelia was concerned. Not bad kid, it's like you don't even need me to rescue you. Amelia thought with a grin on her face. After observing for another minute she noticed one of the men break a glass bottle. Her mouth quickly turned into a frown. Oi, now that's taking it a bit far, don't ya think? Thinking it was the right time to intervene Amelia approached with caution, stomaching her fear for the sake of the kid. When she was about 10 feet away the same man managed to land a hit with the bottle and the boy crumpled.
Throwing away all apprehension Amelia darted into the fray taking a couple of shots in the stomach. Grimacing she ignored the pain and managed to knock the man with the bottle out with a quick upper cut to his chin during the midst of confusion. The kid was slowly regaining consciousness and Amelia groaned. Hurry up kid, if my Commanding Officer knew I got into a fight I wouldn't be allowed off base for WEEKS. We need to finish this up. Refocusing Amelia quickly surveyed the situation. There were three unconscious men, three very drunk men, and one angry drunk fool barely wearing any clothes. All and all Amelia deemed it doable and went to work. After 5 minutes of dodging and precise strikes, there were seven unconscious men and one very conscious and excited middle schooler. Covered in blood from a head wound the boy was staring at Amelia with a large smile on his face which greatly disturbed the 18 year old. Worried that he might have a concussion she slowly approached the boy.
"Are you alright? You took a nasty shot to the head." She questioned crouching down in front of him.
"I will be fine, I have had worse. But you, you were SO COOL! I only ever thought my brother could be that awesome but then you show up and handled those guys like they were nothing! It's like you're a super hero!" He said kneeling in front of Amelia with stars in his eyes. Leaning back Amelia eyed the boy warily.
"I wouldn't say they were nothing, I took a lot of shots and I am going to have some pretty bad bruises. They even got a hit on my knee those jerks. It's a good thing my parents taught me how to fight though right? But seriously we need to fix this, I know a place nearby that can help you not die." She said gently touching the boy's head with one hand and the other her growling stomach.
"Lead the way Hero-san! I can't go home like this anyways." The boy said slowing standing up. He bent down and grabbed a long object in a cloth and his bag that were scattered during the fray and motioned for Amelia to lead. Taking a step forward he lost his balance and fell against her.
"Gah! Please don't call me that. I have a name, Amelia, please use it. Oh, and no nicknames, just Amelia is fine with me. And why didn't you use that? That's a sword right?" She said putting his arm around her shoulder to support his weight.
"I didn't want to dirty it since my brother gave it to me for my birthday. If that's what you want Hero-san, I will do as you ask." The kid replied placing a closed fist over his heart. Rolling her eyes Amelia and the kid slowly walked towards the ramen shop, a true sight to behold for the shocked Ramen Shop Owner gaping at them through the window.
Bracing herself for the worse Amelia hobbled into the shop to be stared down by the scariest person, next to her parents, that she had ever met.
"Now Ryo-san, I can explain, h-"
"AMELIA CREED! How many times have I told you not to get into fights and bring strange men over! You are taking years off my life stupid child. Is this how we were supposed to meet again, huh, is it?" The angry middle-aged man said barging out from behind the stove waving a knife.
"To be fair, he is not a man but a child, and I only ever brought over friends from school you over protective squid." Amelia retorted shaking a fist at him while still supporting the slightly insulted middle schooler.
"Enough, lets patch the two of you up ok? We can fight later. You want your usual I'm assuming?" Ryo stated placing his knife down to walk into the back to grab a first-aid kit.
"Ryo-san, you always were my favorite chef." Amelia said wincing when she went to sit down.
"Kid, I never got your name. Care to share?" Amelia said finally getting the chance to observe the boy.
"Oh! My name is Morinozuka Satoshi! This place is so small, how is anyone supposed to eat in here!" Satoshi exclaimed gazing around like a child at an amusement park for the first time.
"Morinozuka, ehh? Hey Ryo-san! We have a rich kid here!" Amelia shouted as the man walked over to Satoshi and started dressing his injuries.
"But really, what are you doing in this part of town Morinozuka? It's below your standards is it not?" Amelia asked truthfully curious.
"Satoshi is fine Hero- ah, Amelia-san. I was buying a birthday present for my brother! I wanted to get him a custom tantō from a master blade smith but I wanted it to be a surprise so I snuck out of the house. If I took the limo everyone would know about it." Satoshi said grinning at Amelia while scratching the back of his head.
"A limo, really? Anyways did you get the blade? Can I see it?" Amelia asked leaning closer to the boy as he put his bag on the table. Satoshi pulled out a simple box and placed it in Amelia's hands.
Opening the box Amelia whistled. "You must really respect and love your brother, huh?" She said smiling gently at the beautifully forged tantō.
"Yep! He is the greatest! I respect him the most o– ouch!" Satoshi winced cut off from the Ryo touching his head.
Amelia turned to him with a serious expression on her face. "How do you plan on getting home Satoshi?"
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully saying, "Hmm, I haven't really thought about it! I will just walk home, that is how I got here."
Amelia narrowed her eyes. "That is unacceptable. I don't care how tall you are, you are not walking home this late with that kind of blade. Especially not with those injuries. Call someone to pick you up."
"But that will defeat the whole purpose of me sneaking out! Ahh Hero-san don't act like this!" Satoshi whined reverting back to his original nickname of choice.
"Enough. You will call your family or I will do it myself, do you understand?" Amelia said with force and authority that surprised Satoshi. Her hazel eyes were glowing with repressed anger and without a thought he straightened his back.
"I understand." He said taking out his cellphone. Ryo had finished patching up the two teens and started making Amelia and Satoshi ramen while waiting for his family.
The bowls shortly came out and Amelia handed Satoshi a pair of chopsticks. The two began to eat in awkward silence.
"I'm sorry for disappointing you Satoshi, but I can't let my new friend get hurt after such a valiant effort now can I?" Amelia said while slurping a noodle.
"I'm sorry too Hero-san, I wasn't thinking… but IT IS THE GREATEST HONOR TO BE CONSIDERED YOUR FRIEND HERO-SAN!" Satoshi said bowing to Amelia in thanks.
"Pfft Hero-san? I will never let you live that down Amelia" Ryo said snickering behind his knife.
"Just get back to your cooking old man, I want seconds." Amelia said holding up her empty bowl.
"Me too! That was the best thing I have ever tasted! It's better than what the cooks in our house make!" Satoshi said praising the old man.
"I am the best after all" Ryo said making a cringe worthy pose that made Amelia bury her head in her arms.
The three individuals talked for a half hour more about random things simply enjoying each other's company when the door opened to the shop. In walked a tall teenage boy and a limo driver. Satoshi visibly froze as the young man approached him in silence. Amelia watched the two stare at each other and Satoshi slumped his shoulders in defeat. Turning to gather his things he spotted Amelia and his eyes lit up.
"Takashi, this is Hero-san! She saved my life from being mugged and made me call you, Hero-san this is my brother Takashi. He is a third-year in high school." Satoshi said motioning his hands between the two.
"My name is Amelia, which Satoshi keeps forgetting, but it is nice to meet you Morinozuka-san." Amelia said with a slight nod because her body was too sore to do anything else.
"Takashi. Thank you Amelia." He said getting down on his knees to bow.
Surprised and terribly uncomfortable Amelia walked over shaking her hands. "Please stop, I am American and bows like that make me extremely uncomfortable. A hand shake will work for me." Amelia proceeded to grin holding out a hand to the still prostrate Morinozuka.
Raising his head he grabbed her hand and stood up surprised at the calluses he felt on her palm. The two individuals shook hands and Takashi felt a large amount of respect and gratitude towards this foreign girl.
"Let's go Satoshi." He said and turned around to head back to the limo. With a final nod at the door to Amelia and Ryo he made his way outside leaving Satoshi inside to say his goodbyes. Satoshi hugged Ryo and Amelia getting their numbers before walking towards the door.
"When you are not grounded come back for some food kid!" Ryo said cheekily with a slight wave. Amelia just shook her head at the old man's antics.
"Don't be getting into any more trouble Satoshi, I am only on leave for the week and won't be able to save you next time." She said grinning at the boy.
With a bright smile and a quick wave he dashed out of the shop shouting "I will never forget you Hero-san! Ryo-san! Goodbye!"
The shop was now empty and the pair sat down and sighed. "He made it sound like we died or something, I feel offended." Ryo smirked at Amelia. Snorting Amelia turned back towards the counter noticing a familiar wooden box left sitting on the table.
"Satoshi… you idiot." Amelia said and the two busted out laughing barely able to control themselves.
Inside the limo Satoshi was telling his brother about the new friends he made and the whole drunk mugging situation. Takashi, was impressed at how Amelia handled the situation and was grateful she made Satoshi call home. He wouldn't know what to do if anything happened to his little brother. With a small smile Takashi turned his head to the window thinking about how scared his brother will be when he gets home, now that will be impressive.
Whelp, that was it. It was an interesting idea that popped into my head that I felt like sharing. I hoped you liked it! Like I said earlier I am thinking about leaving this as a one shot but I am not completely sure. I am a novice writer so it takes me a while to write these things hehe. I tried to make Amelia an adult but still a teenager since she is not longer in high school and is in the "real world" so I hope it worked.
I hope you all stay well and have a lovely day/night!
