"Hm? What's this?" I muttered. "Music Room #3?"

I carefully opened the large doors, trying not to make a sound. A large gust of air came out, along with the strong scent of cake and roses. I shuffled inside and shut the door as quietly as I had opened it.

[Flashback]

Today was my third day at Ouran High School, and I hated it. Not only did I have to move away from my sanctuary in my old town, but I had to go to some stuck-up rich school.

I'm a quiet girl, and I don't socialize that well, but in my old town I had at least a few friends. I really was against moving here, but I had no choice. I was forced to move here for reasons I really don't feel like going into right now.

Anyway, it was my third day here, and I couldn't take any more of the annoying rich kid gossip going around me. It was all about tea parties and designer clothes and all of that annoying junk. I mean sure, I have money (or HAD money, I suppose) but I don't flaunt it.

"May I use the restroom?" I asked the teacher loudly, drawing a little too much attention to me.

"Yes, you may. Please come back when you're finished." Psh, yeah right.

I quickly gathered all my stuff and slipped out of the room. I didn't plan on going back.

Silently, I tiptoed down the hallway so I wouldn't be caught and forced to go back to torture (AKA class). It was hard to find a room that didn't have students in it, but finally I stumbled upon a room that didn't have any noise coming from it. Music Room #3.

[End Flashback]

I was right; no one was in the room. Might as well stay here, I thought, I'll look really suspicious if any one sees me leaving campus before school is over. Around the room, there were little tables and couches and in the corner there was a beautiful, ivory piano.

I wanna touch it. I stumbled ungracefully over to it (Yeah, I'm a klutz) and sat down on the matching ivory stool. The piano was obviously expensive, and nicely polished. The keys were smooth and cool under my fingers. I HAD to play it.

Well, there are 3 minutes left in school, and I really doubt anyone is going to come in here, so why not? I first poked a key, and an amazingly in tune D came out, and rung leaving that pretty sound when a note is getting softer until it finally disappears. I sighed and placed all my fingers on the keys.

"Kiss kiss fall in love..." I sang, starting the song Sakura Kiss (piano version, of course).

"Kizukeba itsu demo, Soba ni iru keredo
Honto wa kirai? Suki? Mousou na no?

Jibun no kimochi ga, Kuria ni mietara
Redii demo Hosuto demo, Kamawanaiyo

Suki ni natteku Riyuu wa minna
Chigau yo ne Kedo

MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE

Aitai ima Yasashii kimi ni Sakura kissu Tokimeitara Ranman koishi yo
Mirai yori mo Ima ga kanjin Uruwashi haru no koi wa Hanasaku otome no bigaku

Maybe you're my love…" I finished, feeling happy that I didn't crack any notes.

"Whoa."

I turned around to see a crowd of guys standing behind me, staring in disbelief.

"Ohmygod! Sorry, I didn't mean to--" I started, feeling heat on my cheeks.

"You're hired!" A blonde guy (who was OBVIOUSLY a drama queen) shouted. He was standing in front, so I guess he was their 'leader'.

"Hired? Umm, I really wasn't looking for a job or anything, and I really have to g--" I stood up quickly- a little too quickly, I guess- and accidentally knocked over a very expensive looking flower pot that held a very expensive looking flower in it from on top of the piano. "…Sorry."

"Rough." The twins who said it had a very devilish grin on their faces. They were ginger-haired and from where I was standing, it looked like the only difference between them was their hair parts.

"And how exactly do you plan on paying for that?" Another guy with black hair and glasses said. He looked like one of those money-hungry tax collector types.

"Uh…" I said lamely. Wow, I'm an idiot. Way to be articulate.

"Well, since you're going here you must have money." He talked to me as if I were an idiot.

"I do, but I don't have access to it currently." I said. I really didn't feel like going in on that subject.

"Why not?" The twins said simultaneously.

"Because I don't!" I practically yelled. Whoops, I shouldn't have acted that emotional. Now their all going to know something is up.

"Ok, well then I guess you'll have to work it off." Evil tax-collector man was really starting to get on my nerves.

"How?"

Evil tax collector dude gave me a 'Duh-Isn't-It-Completely-Obvious-Or-Are-You-That-Stupid?' sort of look. "You will play piano for our guests."

"Guests?"

"Oh, how rude of me!" Drama queen said, jumping forward and grabbing my hands, "This is the Host Club. This is where the handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands."

Sounds DESPERATE to me… I thought, trying to keep my eye from twitching.

"So, what kind of guy are you into? The stoic type?" He pointed to the tall guy with short messy dark brown hair. "How about the boy lolita?" The small little blond with the bunny couldn't possibly be a high schooler! Could he? "Maybe the mischievous type?" The twins. Yeah, I can totally see them being 'mischievous'. "How about the cool type?" The evil tax-collector with glasses. "Or the natural type?" A rather feminine looking boy, if I do say so myself. I just stared as he pointed out all of them.

"Or…" Drama queen made a dramatic pause where he finally released his vice-grip on my hands and put one under my chin, forcing it up. "Do you like the price type?" He breathed his cool breath on my face which made me shudder.

WHACK! I slapped him in the face. I don't like unwelcome guests in my bubble.

"That was a little mean, don't you think?" The twins chorused, leaning on my shoulders.

"I don't want anyone in my breathing area."

Drama queen was sulking in his emo corner cultivating mushrooms when Evil Tax-collector decided to speak up.

"Well, seeing as you are in debt, unless you can pay it off now, then you'll have to learn to get along with Tamaki." So THAT was Drama Queen's real name… "After all, you'll be seeing a lot of him." He added with a smirk.

Stupid evil tax-collectors…

"Oh, you haven't been properly introduced have you? I am Kyouya; the twins are Kaoru and Hikaru; the small one with the bunny is Honey-" Did he even realize that he just rhymed? Haha…

"And this is Usa-chan!" The small boy interrupted holding up his bunny.

"Nice to meet you Usa-chan!" I shook the bunny doll's hand.

"-Ahem. As I was saying… The tall one behind Honey is Mori; the brunette is Haruhi; and finally, the one in the corner is Tamaki."

At the mention of his name, Tamaki was suddenly back with the group. I swear I could practically see sparkles flying off his face.

"And what's your name?"

"Me? Uh--" Muahahaha…

My epic ringtone went off. Nothing freaks people out more than having Light's laugh from episode 38 of Death Note as your ringtone. Don't know what I'm talking about? Youtube it.

"Yes?" I answered my phone, ignoring the weird stares I was receiving.

"Where are you? You worried me sick! I thought something happened to you! If you were going to stay after school, you should have told me something! I--"

"Don't worry, I'm coming home now. Bye." I closed my phone and looked at the group. "I'm just gonna sashay off now…" I muttered, my voice trailing off as I slowly started out the door.

"We'll see you here tomorrow, Rin." What? He already knows my name? "Oh- and if you decide not to show up, just know I have plenty of blackmail and files… and whatnot."

You know the freaky thing about what Kyouya (Evil tax-collector man!) just said?

I didn't doubt him one bit.

[Flashback]

[Kaoru's Point of View]

"Hello, I am Rin. Miyuki Rin…"

Rin… Miyuki Rin? So, Rin means cold, and Miyuki means deep snow, then all together her name means cold deep snow, huh? I took a glace at my brother, Hikaru, who was eyeing this girl with a look of amusement. Yeah, she would probably be our new toy. I mean, just one look at her and she kind of stands out.

She was probably about 5'3 or 5'4, thin, and albino maybe? Her hair was a very, very light blond color, almost white, her skin was pale, and her large eyes were a very light blue, about the color of the clear sky outside today. She was very true to her name; she really did look like snow. She wore the boys uniform, and her thick hair which was probably shoulder-length (or maybe a little longer) was up in a messy bun, but her side bangs that went right above one eye (almost covering it, if her bangs were any longer) and some random hair around the sides of her face were down.

"Well, do you have anything else to say to the class?" The teacher asked. This is usually the part where students list their hobbies, then say they look forward to meeting everyone.

"No, not really. I don't really want to meet anyone." On her face she wore a strange mixture of boredom, sleepiness, and… sadness?

"Um… alright, I suppose. You can sit in that seat back there, behind the twins and the brunette. Oh, and can I talk to you after class?"

"Sure." She slowly made her way to her seat, staring at her feet.

"Hey!" Hikaru and I whispered, but she ignored it, and instead pulled out a book.

It continued like this for the next two days, and she always found some new way to ignore us. One day she randomly pulled out her iPod when we tried talking to her, another day she suddenly threw her head on her desk and pretended to be asleep (even though it was obvious that she wasn't.) It was really starting to get on our nerves. How could we have any fun if she won't even look at us?

Then, on the third day, (I think) there she was in the music room, playing the piano and singing in a very soft and pretty voice. But I didn't have too much time to notice her singing until Hikaru nudged me with a mischievous grin.

She WOULD be our new toy…
