Sorry, I realized that the links don't work. Just Google Search: Usagi-San. Once again, they're not mine and they won't be featured in this story too much. Mostly Usagi-San/Akihiko-San will be featured. All right, time for Ouran! ^^ Emi-Chan/ Emily is 15 at the time, turning 16 in a little while.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran High School Host Club, or any of its lovely characters. I forgot to put one in the chapter before. ^^ And thanks for the three reviews! I'm glad I got people hooked!
One year later.
A lot has happened in a year, really. Usagi-San stumbled upon my stories that I wrote. I still remember the time. He asked me if I wanted to publish it. I was too angry and shouted at him to do whatever he wanted with them. And so, he published them. Not long after, the stories became popular with teen and adult readers! I was so amazed! I didn't think that they would be popular. Usagi-San and I had enough money to buy a mansion. He also suggested for me to go to a private school. The closest one to our estate was Ouran Academy. I met the criteria for the private school, now that my current name was Emily Usami. I was enrolled into class 1-A. With my Selective Mutism, it would be pretty difficult to communicate with new people, especially teachers. Students my age, not that much, but I'll have to put in some effort, no matter how much I dislike doing so.
Once I was escorted to my classroom, the teacher introduced me to the class representatives. The class president was a male student named Soga Kazukiyo. The vice president was a female by the name of Kurakano Mamoka. I smiled a small smile at the two.
"It's such an honor to have you attending Ouran Academy, Usami-Sensei." Kurakano said, smiling at me.
Just hearing 'Usami-Sensei', sent chills down my back for some reason. I wasn't really used to people calling me Usami-Sensei.
"Thank you, it's such an honor for me to be accepted to Ouran." I replied, smiling back. I try to be polite as possible; especially to the people I meet. I looked around the room, seeing everyone look at me in amazement. Some were whispering. This caused me to slightly blush at the sight.
The teacher chuckled and raised his voice.
"All right, everyone. Please calm down." He instructed.
The students stopped their whispering and gazing. They had their full attention on the teacher. Sensei motioned me to come forward and stand beside him. I walked toward the teacher.
"Everyone, this is Emily Usami. This is her first day at Ouran, so please respect her gratefully," He said, turning to me. "Ms. Usami," He said, scanning the room, probably to find myself a seat. "You may sit with Mr. Fujioka; he has an available seat next to him." He informed.
Fujioka gave a small wave with his hand. Now, is it just me, or does the boy look more feminine than others? I weakly smiled at the teacher.
"All right, t-thank you." I said, stuttering a bit. I walked to the desk where Fujioka was and sat down.
~XXXXX~
I sighed, closing the door to the fourth library. Is there any place I could find in Ouran where there's some peace and quiet for me to concentrate? I really need to finish this manuscript, but no, Usagi-San insisted me to go around the school and meet some friends. Honestly, is it that important to meet friends and hang out? I walk around, looking everywhere for an empty room. The top floor of the south building, at the end of the north hallway, in a music room that's never used, I figured that I should open the door. It was never used anyways. Once I started to open the door, rose petals randomly flew out of nowhere. Voices spoke in unison, saying,
"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club."
I stood there, my eyes wide. This is a host club? Why did I have to stumble upon here? I just needed to find a place to concentrate! I scanned the seven boys closely. A tall one with blonde hair held out a red rose and walked up to me. What is he, some kind of prince? Or is it just an act?
"Please, princess. Don't be shy." He said, holding a rose up to me.
I reluctantly took the rose and stared at him for a while. He's joking, right? A girl like me would never fall under his trance of romance.
I noticed the twins with auburn hair and golden brown eyes looking at me, as well as Fujioka. The twins grinned at me.
"I didn't think you were that type of girl, Emily." They said in unison.
I opened my mouth, shook my head, and rapidly waved my arms in disapproval.
"I-I'm not! You have it wrong! I just needed to concentrate on something!" I said, what meant to come out as a loud protest, but ended up as a soft voice. I face-palmed myself because my lack of voice. Another member of the host club with black hair pushed up his glasses.
"You're a new student, correct?" He asked me. I nodded in agreement.
Fujioka looked up at the person with glasses. "Emily Usami is in Hikaru's, Kaoru's and my class, Kyoya-Senpai." She informed, paying attention to me. "So you just happened to stumble here? What's the reason?" He/she asked.
"Um… Akihiko-San actually told me to roam around Ouran to try and make some friends, but I just needed to finish up a manuscript with peace and quiet. I don't suppose you can find it at this school; the libraries are filled with students just enjoying themselves." I explained.
The person, referred as Kyoya-Senpai, spoke up again.
"Akihiko Usami, he's your adoptive father, correct?" He asked.
I nodded and laughed nervously.
"I don't know if I could call Akihiko-San, 'father'. Though, my brother was friends with him when they were in high school…." I said, lowering my head to cover my face, just realizing that I was ignoring the princely blonde boy.
The older student tilted my chin with his fingers in a romantic way and gazed upon my eyes.
"What beautiful brown eyes you have, princess. You've cast a spell on me." He said in such a romantic voice.
My face grew a smirk. I started to laugh.
"I guess girls fall for this romantic act, but not me!" I said, still laughing.
The blonde looked astonished by my reaction. The twins, probably known as Hikaru and Kaoru, started laughing. "Hey, Tamaki-Senpai, I don't think you suit her." They said, walking towards me. "I think she likes …" One of the twins started. "… The mischievous type." The other one finished, each holding roses to me.
I scoffed. "I find it hard to believe that girls actually like this romance stuff, even if each host has different personalities."
Next thing I know, a little blonde boy is grabbing my arm.
"Emi-Chan, Emi-Chan, You're a famous author, you must be a super hero!" He exclaimed.
I looked down at the blonde boy; he looks like he's in elementary school.
"I'm not a super hero; I'm just an author attending Ouran…. Why did you call me Emi-Chan?" I asked. Everyone called me Emi-Chan when I was younger, but it's been a year since anyone has called me that.
"Honey-Senpai tends to put 'Chan' in everyone's name. For example: Haru-Chan, Tama-Chan, Kyo-Chan, Hika-Chan, and Kao-Chan. But he calls Mori-Senpai by his first name." Fujioka explains.
I tilt my head slightly. "Haru-Chan," I ask, not being familiar with the name.
Fujioka nodded. "My name is Haruhi Fujioka; it's a pleasure to introduce myself to you, Emily." He/she said.
I smiled. "It's a pleasure meeting you too. So, tell me Haruhi, why are you wearing a boy's uniform?" I asked her, seeing Haruhi's and the other hosts eyes light up. I smiled once more. "You should know that I have a lot of commonsense." I said, laughing a little.
Kyoya pushed up his glasses. "Due to reasons, Haruhi has to pay off a debt of eight million yen. She works it off as a host." He explained to me.
~XXXXX~
After observing the hosts a little more, I got to see what their hosting personalities were like. Honey-Senpai is like a Lolita boy type, some girls have a passion for something cute. Mori-Senpai is probably a strong and silent type, always being with Honey-Senpai. Hikaru and Kaoru do a brotherly love act. This is something that a lot of girls like. I have to admit, their act is pretty good…Not that I like it! (A/N: Come on, Emily, we know you like it!) Tamaki-Senpai is obviously a romantic prince type, making the girls swoon over him. Haruhi….seems like the natural type, even though she's a girl, she knows how to charm her guests by just being natural. Kyoya-Senpai, hmmm… I guess he's the person who's in charge of the profits. The host club seems like an odd group of mixed personalities. I would consider joining, not as a host, but probably as a server, helping Haruhi with the tea, coffee, snacks, and cake. Besides, I really need to get out of the house. I don't want my life to be dull and boring. I tapped Tamaki-Senpai on the shoulder when they were done hosting for the day, and just relaxing.
"Um… T-Tamaki-Senpai," I said in a soft voice.
Tamaki-Senpai and the others turned around. The princely blonde boy smiled at me.
"Yes, what is it, princess?" He asked me.
I frowned.
"First off, I'm not a princess, so could you please quit calling me one. Second, I was wondering if you needed a hand around the club. Y-you know, probably serving guests or something… I really need something to do, other than just writing books, attending school, and then repeating the whole cycle…" I asked.
The others stared at me for a couple of seconds. Haruhi broke the silence and spoke up.
"You realize what you're doing, right? Joining the host club as a server girl is that what you want to do? I should warn you that the host club does crazy cosplay." She said.
I nodded.
"Sure, I don't mind cosplaying." I said in full agreement. Hikaru and Kaoru spoke up.
"Boss, you don't mind, right?" They asked in unison. The host club was looking at their king for approval.
Tamaki-Senpai pondered for a bit.
"Well, if this lovely maiden wants to help out with the host club, then I approve." He said.
A small smile appeared on my face. "Thank you, Senpai." I said.
Honey-Senpai threw his bunny up in the air.
"Yay, Emi-Chan can stay and play with us!" He shouted with glee.
"Oh, that reminds me, I have to finish up this manuscript." I said, sitting down on a sofa and pulling out my laptop from my school bag. Kyoya was seated down as well, doing whatever he does in his little black notebook or on the computer. Tamaki-Senpai, Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey-Senpai gathered around me.
"What do you write about, Emily?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked.
I was still typing on my laptop.
"Stuff," I said, really not wanting to talk about it.
The four of them sighed.
"You're no fun, Emily." Hikaru said.
I gave Hikaru a stern look.
"I could be fun if I want to, I just choose not to right now." I explained. Just then, my cellphone rang from my school bag, playing 'Guilty Beauty Love' (A/N: Vic Mignogna! 3) I blush a little, searching for my phone in my bag. I finally pulled it out and answered it.
"Hello?" I asked, realizing it was Usagi-San.
"Emily, where are you?" He asked me in a worried tone.
"I'm fine, Usagi-San. I'm at Ouran finishing my manuscript. You should finish yours too, you know. I'll call you when I need to be picked up, alright?" I asked him.
Usagi-San's tone seemed to be calm.
"Did you meet some friends at Ouran?" He asked in a quite amused tone.
I paused for a moment, and then smiled a little.
"You can say that."
WHOO! I'm done with the second chapter! Thanks for the reviews! It really helped! And, yes, Aoi will come back! I should have said in the last chapter that I was doing a big time-skip. Oh well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! -Michelle
