A little story I'm thinking of writing. Tell me what you think and if I should continue! :) I have only read up to volume 16 so far (I don't like reading them online) so if this contradicts anything from that point in the story, just ignore it, please. -.- Manga spoilers up until volume 16, by the way, so don't read until you're passed that, or don't intend to read the manga(it should be fine if you've just watched the anime - I've tried to cover a lot of stuff from the manga in back story things).

Anyway, enjoy! :)

1 Introduction

Haruhi Fujioka. A second-year, Class 2-A student at Ouran Academy.

The first thing you should know about Miss Fujioka is that she is a scholarship student - A commoner, compared to the rest of the school. The second is that she is posing as a boy, to repay her debt to the Ouran Host Club, much to the displeasure of the Chairman's mother - more famously known as the Director of Suoh. You see, during Haruhi's first year at Ouran, she had managed to break a vase worth ¥8,000,000, and, because she couldn't afford to pay them back, she ended up becoming a host - and mistaken for a boy.

Today, for once, she was feeling quite girly. It was the day before Valentine's Day, and, unlike last year, it wasn't going to be ruined by Hunny (aka Mitsukuni Haninozuka) getting a cavity - he had promised Mori (aka Takashi Morinozuka) he would decrease his sugar intake when they had parted ways to leave for university, after Mori had won a duel between the two of them. He had also promised to only bring Usa-chan, his stuffed-toy bunny, to the university division 3 times a week. This, if anything, had made his brother, Yasuchika, think of him as more of a human and be able to accept him more as the heir to the Haninozuka name. Chika, stubborn as he was, still refused to admit this, though. They still visited the Host Club, and hosted whenever they had free time, although they only came a few times a week and didn't stay very long. They were both the heir's their families, and so they had a lot of pressure on them. This Valentine's Day, although Haruhi would never admit this to anyone ever, no matter who they were or under what circumstances, she desperately wanted to receive a gift from Tamaki Suoh, the self-proclaimed "King" of the Ouran Host Club.

She had been having strange feelings for Tamaki ever since her dad's colleague's daughter, Mei, had come to live with them. She had left Haruhi a magazine with a quiz in it to determine whether "You love him or not". Nothing else - nobody else - seemed to charm her like he did. She had to sit in a room full of hosts, and not one of them besides Tamaki had made her feel that way. She hated to admit it, but it did seem that she loved him.

"Hey, Haruhi." Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, her classmates and fellow Host Club members had walked over to her desk. She was too busy daydreaming, and completely ignored them.

"Wonder who she's gonna give chocolate to." Kaoru asked. "Screw that - Milord will have us celebrating European style, and she's a host, so naturally it'll be a case of who'll give any to her."

"Well, then - All the members - except maybe Kyoya, he doesn't seem the type, and if he does it'll be really cheap stuff, only maybe ¥10,000 - Renge, Miss Sakurazuka, Miss Kurakano and Bossanova." Hikaru listed.

"Are you getting her anything, Hikaru?"

"Of course," Hikaru smirked, "And my present will be better than Milord's!" He raised his fist, posing in a determined way. "He can get Haruhi all the Tanuki and Giant Tuna merchandise he wants, but I'm going to get her the most expensive and best!"

Kaoru chuckled at his brother.

"Hey, what's so funny?"

"You and Milord are so alike. And you haven't changed a bit since we were younger. You're still as stubborn as you were when we were 5!"

"Hey, I'm a lot nicer than when I was 5! No way are me and Milord alike - he's a complete, black-box idiot. I'm the one with all the logic, he's just stupid, alright?"

"Whatever you say, Hikamaki."

"That was just stupid, Tamaoru."

"Like yours was any better."

"You guys disturbed my train of thought." A voice came from the desk next to them. Haruhi had stopped daydreaming and was now glaring at them both. "You really know how to annoy me, don't you?"

Kaoru pulled up a chair from the closest desk and placed it on the side of Haruhi's desk. He sat down, and Hikaru did the same, putting the chair on the other side of the desk.

"So, tomorrow's Valentine's Day - any guy in mind you want a present from? Or to give a present to, maybe? Of course, you're pretty much limited to the host club members and Bossanova with that." Kaoru chuckled. Hikaru went quiet, turning his head down to face his lap.

"No. I may be a girl, but there's no one."

"Then what were you thinking about so intently, if not the love of your life?"

"I was just thinking... about what Tamaki-senpai was planning for the host club activity. I mean, he's arranged for Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai to be there, so it must be something special - he's even invited Chika and Satoshi. Good thing we have Satoshi - Chika wouldn't come if it wasn't for him."

Kaoru laughed. "Yeah, no wonder Chika doesn't like him very much. Still, I refuse to believe that's what you were thinking about. Come on, you ignored us for that reason? Really?"

"Yes! I promise! Hey, don't tickle me!"

"Why don't you two just get a room?" Hikaru muttered, still facing his lap. "It's obvious Kaoru likes you - although he's just proved he lied to his own brother when he said he wasn't interested."

"And I stand by that point. We're just friends, Hikaru, jeez."

"Just friends, huh? Just friends don't tickle each other to get something out of each other. Just friends don't flirt with each other, especially not when they're both hosts! That just screams flirting."

"What are you on about, Hikaru? I'm not flirting. I mean, I'm not interested. Plus, that would ruin her image, especially when she's supposed to be a guy."

"Well, you probably figured that being the uke of the gay twincest plot play would make it perfectly fine for you to flirt with another "guy", am I right?"

"Oh, so me playing an uke makes me gayer, huh?"

"You two! Stop it!" Haruhi shouted, "You're not fighting over me, okay? Sorry, Hikaru, but I don't think of either of you that way - I don't think of anyone that way. So will you just stop bickering unless you find a better reason to?"

Hikaru and Kaoru both nodded in unison, not wanting to say another word that might make Haruhi shout again. Haruhi checked her watch.

"Well, it's about time to head to Music Room 3 anyway. Let's try and get there before Tamaki-senpai plans anything stupid or makes me wear anything that I don't want to wear."

The three of them set off for Music Room 3, where they were greeted by an angry Tamaki.

"You three are late," He began, "Activities are closed today because of a very important meeting. I hope you didn't all forget what day it is tomorrow."

Haruhi rolled her eyes. How could she forget? It had been on her mind all week, and today was even worse. Especially since Tamaki was starting to change her mind about everything she had hoped for that week.

"Haruhi, I hope you haven't forgotten especially - Daddy won't be too pleased if he doesn't get a present!"

Of course, Tamaki didn't mean her real father - he always thought of the host club as a family (the members accepted this as he had a lot of family problems and it drew his mind away from them), and Tamaki was "Daddy", Kyoya was "Mom", Haruhi and the twins were the "children", and apparently Hunny and Mori were "neighbors". His delusional mind had somehow convinced him that they really were a family.

"I don't think I'm obliged to give you a present based on a fake family you've created." She replied in her usual harsh tone.

Tamaki, as usual, sunk into a phase of depression and sat in the corner, facing the wall, in his dejected pose.

"Sorry, senpai, but if you keep referring to yourself as my "Daddy", it's gonna hurt even more when you have to face the facts." She added, in as kind a voice as she could. Of course, if you were normal, it wouldn't hurt at all, she thought to herself, but didn't say this aloud since it was too harsh for even her.

"She has a point, Milord." Hikaru started. "But there must be a better reason than this as to why there aren't any customers."

"You said something about a meeting?" Kaoru added, "But I'm fairly certain its not about our "family" issues."

Tamaki (quite literally and metaphorically) leaped out of his phase and smiled at the twins, his left hand on his hip, his right hand outstretched to them. "Of course! Tomorrow, as you all know - Is Valentine's Day! The most romantic day for the Host Club, and we are going to make sure our guests are extra pleased with our services!"

"So how come we're having a meeting without Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked in unison.

Tamaki sighed. "They are university students now, of course. They'll be busy with all their assignments, and we can't have them in both today and tomorrow, especially with tomorrow being the busiest day of this week for us! So we'll just have to inform them tomorrow at the earliest time we can."

That day's meeting was fairly boring, and Haruhi had a feeling that not having Hunny and Mori to consult made it slightly less fun than it could have been. All the plans were still as extravagant as usual, and all involved some complaint from Kyoya about "cost". Everything for Valentine's Day in place, thankfully without any girly cosplay suggestions from Tamaki (although Tamaki was insisting on the knight costumes from a while back to save cost) - Costumes were going to be designed and made by the Hitachiin's mum (their grandmother refused after Tamaki insulted her hair the last time she made costumes) - so Haruhi could rest peacefully knowing nothing was going to go badly the next day.

Or so she thought...
