This is a story I started ages ago before I even had a fanfiction account. I have almost 16 chapters of it so far. But I'll still release it one chapter at a time. Probably every other day or so. Enjoy! I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or Kiniro no Corda/La Corda d'Oro. Thank you.
"What?" yelled Hikaru as the announcement system in the Third Music Room beeped off. "They're closing Ouran?"
"Yes, apparently there've been some things happening underground and hidden from the public eye. They've been planning this for quite some time." Kyoya tapped his clipboard smiling.
"But, the year's not even up! Where will we go to school?" It was Hikaru's twin, Kaoru, who spoke now.
"I'm going to Seiso Academy!" shouted Tamaki striking a pose instantly.
"Seiso?" asked the twins at the same time.
"How do we apply?" asked Hikaru, almost anxiously.
Kyoya immediately flipped out some forms and handed them to the two. "Fill those out and drop them by the school's office."
Kaoru looked at the sheet and began reading the section about the school. It looked interesting to him. He smiled. "Okay!"
Just then the door swung open and a little blond haired boy who looked as if he could be in elementary school ran in crying. "Tama-chan, tell me it isn't true! Tell me Ouran's not closing." The little boy ran up to Tamaki teary eyed and stared pleadingly into Tamaki's eyes. The tall silent shadow of Takashi—or Mori as they all called him—loomed from behind the little boy.
"Tamaki," he said in a deep low voice. His face was completely emotionless. "Is Ouran closing?"
Tamaki looked a little stunned. He backed away. "Now, now, let's not get too upset." Only someone who had known Mori for a long time would be able to realize he was upset; his face showed no sign of anything. "We'll all be able to..." Tamaki turned suddenly. His mouth dropped as he begged Kyoya to help.
Kyoya jumped in ready. "Yes, Mori, the school is closing. This has been discussed since summer. Originally it was to close then, but many of the teachers argued that since they had already selected students to attend, they should keep the school open for a while longer. It was originally planned that it be closed at Christmas, however, Tamaki's grandmother interfered—so, it's closing now."
"Kyo-chan, why?" yelled the blond crying ferociously and hugging his bunny.
"Hunny-senpai," came a voice. "What's wrong?" Haruhi walked into the room. She was dressed in her boy's uniform as usual.
"Haru-chan." Hunny ran to Haruhi. "Ouran's closing," Hunny sobbed out.
"Yeah, I heard the announcement," said Haruhi.
"Oh, where are you going, Haruhi?" asked Kaoru popping up at her left shoulder. Hikaru popped up on her right.
"Well, I was planning to go to Seiso Academy. They have a program similar to the one here so I can achieve my dream."
"Oh," shouted Tamaki dramatically, his eyes tearing gleefully, "Haruhi, we'll be at the same school!" He jumped to her and hugged her wildly.
Haruhi rolled her eyes. Great, another year with the drama king.
"Seiso?" asked Mori.
Haruhi turned to him surprised. His tone was still low and flat, but Mori had actually sounded interested—curious.
"Ah, ha, ha," shouted Tamaki excitedly. "Yes! Seiso Academy!"
"What is it, Takashi? Did you want to go there?" asked Hunny—the only one to call Mori by his real name.
"Yes." said Mori thoughtfully. "Kyoya, how do we—."
Kyoya flopped the form into his hand before he could finish speaking. "Just fill it out and drop it by the school."
Mori looked at it; then he looked down at Hunny. "Mitsukuni,"—Hunny's real name—"do you want to go too?" asked Mori.
"Lemme see," said Hunny reaching for the form. Kyoya slapped a new one into his hands before Hunny could reach Mori's. Hunny began to read it. He then looked up at Mori. "Takashi,"—Hunny smiled—"I'll go there too!"
Though most people wouldn't have been able to notice, Mori's muscles relaxed and he drew a small—barely audible—relieved sigh. Mori reached down and took Hunny's hand. "Let's have some cake," he said.
Hunny's face lit up. "Okay, Takashi!" He bounced up and down as they walked to the table.
"Oh," said Tamaki shaking himself happily. "You know what that means!" Tamaki stood up and struck a pose. "The whole Host Club is going to Seiso Academy!"
Kyoya smiled. He seemed content.
"Why do you look so pleased, Kyoya?" asked Haruhi coming to stand beside him.
He smiled down at her. "Because," he said, "I've already sent in the entire host club's applications. All you have to do is attend the interview and you'll be admitted."
Haruhi laughed nervously. Of course Kyoya would do that. "Then why did you give out the forms," she asked.
Kyoya shrugged, and then smiled. He handed her a form. "Flip it over," he said to her confused look.
Haruhi turned it over and saw her name printed on the back along with a date and time.
"Don't be late to your interview," he said.
"What?" asked Haruhi.
"The twenty-second, Haruhi. That's today."
Haruhi looked up and her shoulders slumped. Not only was interview on that day, but it was two hours long. She would have to run home to the apartment, grab her resume and other school files and then somehow get to the school on time. "Kyoya," she asked.
"You need a ride, don't you?" he asked.
Haruhi just smiled.
