Author's Note:

Hi guys, Beau-Mercury here! You can call me B+Hg for short, but never Beau or Mercury~ (Because Beau-Mercury is one word) I'm glad you stopped in to read and I hope you enjoy, but here are just a few things to know before you read~

Bold/Italics = Alfred 'talking'
Italics = Tacitus 'thinking'

And just in case you were curious, Tacitus talks more around Hibiki when they're alone, since she's shy in a way. Tacitus's name means 'Mute' in Latin, and Hibiki's name means 'Sound' in Japanese. So it's like they're opposites but best friends! By the way, have you ever noticed that even though Kyoya is a host, he is never requested? I did, made me curious.

By the way, the song for this chapter is 'Shut Me Up' by Mindless Self Indulgence... It has nothing to do with the story.

Anyways~ Important Notice Right Here …. I'm holding a contest, whoever can guess what animal Alfred is, will get a OC in here~ This will last until chapter 2 or 3, depending if anyone enters. I hate to say, but I'm not sure if your OC will get a pairing, since that may be too much for me to handle. But your OC will appear often in the story, so please give a description of their looks and attitude. Thanks so much and good luck to you!

Off I go~

I spy...

~?'s POV~

I woke up to another black morning. Why was it black? Because Alfred's tail was across my face.

…His tail smelled like carrots.

Pushing his tail off my face, I trudged my way into the kitchen that was the other half of my apartment. A bagel, a tomato, some milk. That's my breakfast, each day, every week. And man do I love it. I pulled on a pair of dress pants and buttoned up a loose blouse. There was no way I was going to wear the marshmallow dress that every other girl at Ouran wore. It was too…. Ugly.

Something snaked its way up my back and I turned to stare into the bored amber/brown eyes of Alfred. I patted him on the head before grabbing my bag. The teachers didn't care if I brought him, it's not like he cause any disturbances.

Damn right I don't cause any disturbances.

Shut up Alfred.

Alfred gave me a look before settling down on my shoulder. The lower half of his body was in the back of my hood, so he could lie down when he wanted. I rolled my eyes at him before looking back at my bed. Claiming it as their own was my little brother Toni, our cat Jakobi, and our dog Joeii. I smiled sweetly at them, whispering my goodbyes. I locked my apartment door, and I was off.

~Third Person POV~

"I spy with my little eye…. Something stupid." Hibiki chirped as he leaned backwards over his chair, so he could see the person sitting behind him. That person happened to be Tacitus, his best friend. She looked at him blankly, not bothering to answer.

Hibiki had been friends with Tacitus since she transferred to his school four years ago. He had short brown hair that was always messy and hazel eyes that seemed to reflect light off of everything, making them very bright. Tacitus, on the other hand, had dark, forest brown hair that was cut so it brushed below her shoulder blades. Her eyes were a forest green and usually reflected no light, making them seem bored all the time…Which she usually was.

"If you thought 'the teacher', you were right!" Tacitus blinked. Hibiki frowned before pouting like a little kid.

"Tacitus-chan~ I'm bored." She blinked again. Hibiki stared at her for a minute before gasping in remembrance.

"Let me play with Alfred!" Tacitus shook her head slightly. She never let anyone play with Alfred, since he had almost gotten killed last time.

"Buhhh~" Hibiki sighed, giving up on his set-in-stone friend.

Tacitus blinked and looked down at her desk. Drawings and sketches covered her math book, proving she hadn't been paying attention to anything. In the corner of her eye, something moved, so she turned towards it. And there, sitting in all of his green glory, was Alfred. He was sitting on her backpack, which was the same color as him.

Be nice to your friend… Your only friend.

Tacitus frowned at Alfred. She knew Hibiki was her only friend, but she had acted like she was before they became friends. He should be used to it. It seemed to Tacitus like it was Hibiki's ambition in life to make her speak more then she wanted too.

Puffing her cheeks out at the small animal, she turned back to the front. The teacher was going on and on about some type of equation, but Tacitus didn't care. Using her math book as a pillow, she drifted off to sleep land.

~Later, Outside~

"Ha…ha-ha…Haaa…" Hibiki laughed hesitantly as Tacitus pulled out her lunch; two cans of Root Beer, five onigiri (1), and two peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Hibiki still found it weird that Tacitus could eat that much and stay as small as she was.

"…what?" Tacitus questioned over her sandwich. She was sealing the edges of it by pinching down on them, so her jelly wouldn't fall out. Using her free hand to reach behind her, she grabbed the lunch she made for Hibiki and held it out to him.

"Nothing… Where's Alfred?" Hibiki asked, taking his lunch from her. Tacitus glanced on her shoulder before tapping it. Alfred, appearing out of her sweatshirt's hood, scrambled up onto her shoulder, looking pleased that it was lunchtime.

"Here he is…"

"I can see that."

Tacitus raised an eyebrow at Hibiki before tearing her other sandwich out of the plastic wrapping.

Blunt much?

So are you.

Shut up.

"So how's it going over at the Bookstore?" Tacitus rolled her eyes at Hibiki's stupid name for her house, but quickly swallowed what she was eating so she could reply.

"…okay. Toni's been having trouble in math though and the oven caught fire again." Hibiki 'tsked' at Tacitus's strange living conditions before smiling widely.

"That's why you should come live with me!"

"Denied."

"Aw~ Come on! Why not?" Hibiki tried his best to guilt Tacitus by pulling his puppy-dog face that worked on almost every girl in the school.

"Because I am not bringing my little brother and animals to live in a house with a… good looking, rich boy. It will be a bad influence on Toni." Hibiki smirked and sat back happily.

"You think I'm good looking?"

"In most standards, yes. Your muscular, tall, have a nice face, you're funny, and you're smart… kinda. You could probably use this to your advantage…" Hibiki's smile grew wider as Tacitus quickly took a sip of her drink. "But, you're so incredibly odd that it backfires a bit on you."

Hibiki scoffed, "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that last part since I can't comprehend dumb-ass."

Yet again, he makes fun of my stupidity… Stupid rich kid.

This is hilarious.

"Really I'd of thought that you be fluent in it." Tacitus retorted slyly.

"Oh nice one. When'd you have time to think of that, or did someone think of it for you?"

"No, I come up with my own things to say, unlike you who obtained all of your sayings from T.V. shows."

"Is this honestly coming from the person whose house has more anime and manga then the Earth has water?"

"Says the person who has more trash then floor space in his house."

"Hey, I don't clean. Ever."

"Correction, don't clean up, ever." Tacitus smirked and pointed her fingers in a gun-like fashion at Hibiki. "Ba-zinga."

Hibiki and Tacitus glared at each other, lighting sparking in-between the two. Three minutes passed before the two finally broke out in laughter; loud chuckles from Hibiki and silent giggles from Tacitus. Tacitus sighed happily and waved her hand halfheartedly at him.

"Hey, do you wanna-"

"Hibiki-kun~" Tacitus left the smile on her face, but the anger mark that appeared on her cheek was proof she was angry. She turned to glare at the person who cut her off.

Her target, the person she hated the most, Misa Inoue. With her long orange/pink hair and sparkling pink eyes that went all too well with the yellow monstrosity called a dress, she was everything Tacitus hated and more. Glancing over at the anger-ridden Tacitus, Hibiki called a hushed whisper to her.

"Be nice." Hibiki then turned to Misa. "'Ello Inoue-san, what's up?"

"Please, Misa-chan is fine, and Misa was wondering…" Misa pulled the lunch box out that she had hidden behind her back. "If you would like to eat lunch with Misa!" (She refers to herself in the third person)

Tacitus couldn't help but snort at the way Misa was speaking, acting like Hibiki would say yes.

Man, does this girl breathe helium instead of oxygen? (2)

"Sorry, but I've already gotten a lunch made by her, and I'm eatin' with her, so…" Hibiki jabbed his thumb at Tacitus, who was happily cursing out Misa under her breath. "I'm not gonna."

"Aw, come on Hibiki-kun~ Misa bets, um, Tatus-chan won't mind~"

"Wrong. Not my name, you indigenous twit." Tacitus spat at the girl. Grabbing her lunch and sending a sneering glance at Misa, Tacitus stomped away.

"Tch, anyways Hibiki-kun, let's go eat, since that rude commoner so kindly left you." Misa smiled brightly at Hibiki, who frowned at her.

"No." And with that, the boy followed after Tacitus.

He found her staring across the courtyard, her eyebrows raised. Turning his eyes towards her line of sight, he quickly understood why she was staring. Because there, in the field near the rose garden, was the Host Club, the people that Tacitus tried to avoid at all costs.

The blond one was fluttering around like an idiot around a shorter brunette. A tall, black haired boy watched them silently as a little blond boy ate cake on his shoulders. The boy with glasses was writing in a folder and the twins were teasing the brunette.

Hibiki glanced at Tacitus to see her narrowing her eyes. She was chewing on her lip, a habit of hers when she got angry.

"Why do you hate them so much anyways?" Hibiki asked, mere curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Are you kidding me? The leader of that Whore Club is a complete creeper! He calls everyone 'princess' and flowers randomly bloom around his head…. Inside! The one with glasses is always writing, he's probably stalking everyone in this school."

"The tall one never speaks, and the little one has to be a genius… There's no other explanation for a, what, 10 year-old boy to be in high school. Then there are those twins… Always rubbing up on each other… Ugh it makes me sick!" Tacitus shuddered at the thought of the twins and quickly spun around.

"To make matters worse, they entertain ladies… It's probably like a full blown strip club in that music room." Making sure to not be seen, Tacitus quickly rushed by the club.

Hibiki laughed lightly and started to walk after her. Almost two steps later, the blond 'creeper' grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the 'stalker'.

"Ah, Kurosaki-kun, I need to speak with you. By the way, I'm Kyoya Ootori."

~Later, At the Home of Tacitus; Toni's POV~

I can hear it. The clicking of the lock… Someone's coming in. Joeii knows too, he's looking at the door. One, two, three steps. They're in the kitchen, setting down a bag. Now they're walking towards me…

"RAHH!" I screamed as I jumped out at her. Tacitus, my ever loving sister, hugged me tightly before ruffling my hair.

"Hey boy… What happened today?" Tacitus pulled out some milk and crackers from the fridge, setting them on the small table I sat in front of.

I chirped away, telling her everything that happened today at school. Being the great sister she was, she listened, responded, and scolded me for a few things. I tossed one of the crackers to Joeii and Jakobi, not bothering to give one to Alfred since he was eating Tacitus's crackers.

"By the way, Jirou said he wasn't coming over today, since he and Hibiki are going somewhere." Tacitus rolled her eyes and sighed.

"So I guess we're ordering out tonight, hmm?" I smiled and nodded, even though I knew that Tacitus would end up cooking anyways.

"So onee-san how is your school?" Tacitus glanced over at me and snorted.

"I imagine that it's what it feels like to be forced to live in a doll house."
