Hi. Yeah, I'm not dead yet. Well, almost. Forgive me. I know that I haven't updated in over a month but I was really busy. Aside from the usual academics, I'm also part of several organizations at my school. We had a couple of competitions so I've been busy. And the trim exams too. We just finished so I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get more writing down. Sorry to whoever is reading my lame work. Please review and tell me you're all not dead too.

~ Chapter 2 ~

Ouran Host Club

~ o ~ o ~ o ~

Soon the bell rang and it was break. As the students filed out, Kyoya remained behind to pack away his notes. A small cough attracted his attention.

"Ohtori-san…"

Kyoya looked up to see Tsukiko standing in front of his desk. She looked a tad embarrassed.

"Umm…you said that you could show me around the school?" It came out like a question, "It's very new to me. I almost got lost on the way here."

Kyoya smiled politely at her, "Of course. Let me show you around."

Kyoya stood, taking with him his black notebook. He led the way out of the classroom.

"What would you like to see first?"

~ o ~ o ~ o ~

Kyoya had given Tsukiko a quick tour of the high school building. Now they sat together in the rose garden. Tsukiko was gazing fondly at the flowers, a small dreamy smile on her face. Kyoya wondered if he had found a way into the girl's good graces. It never hurt to be friends with the daughter of an important person…

"Do you like flowers?" Kyoya asked, mentally reviewing the cost of bouquets.

"Oh, yes." Tsukiko answered, "Very much."

'Great. I'll probably send you some later…as a welcome to Ouran…' Kyoya said silently, 'Time to change topic.'

"So…what do you think of Ouran so far?"

Tsukiko turned her head to look at him, "It's very beautiful."

"And your classmates, how do you find them?"

"Well, I'm starting to be friends with Shiroi Kumo. She was talking about something called the Host Club…"

"Ah…yes, the Ouran High School Host Club."

Kyoya smiled in spite of himself.

'God, what was wrong with him?'

"You are speaking to its vice president right now."

"Oh!" she exclaimed, "I'm sorry I didn't know. So you're the class president and the vice president of a club?"

"Yes." Kyoya said modestly.

"So you can make your own clubs here?"

"Yes, Tamaki…you met him a while ago…and I founded the Host Club almost two years ago. The chairman is his father so we were allowed to create a new club."

"Is it possible to make another club?" Tsukiko asked.

"Why yes, with the chairman's permission, of course." Kyoya said.

"Ah, thank you. You see, I was thinking of starting one…or something like that, unfortunately I don't know many people yet."

"I'm sure you'll do fine, good luck though."

Kyoya paused.

"Would you like to visit the Host Club later on? I can introduce you to the other members."

Tsukiko smiled again, "Thank you for inviting me, I think I will."

"The Host Club will be waiting." Kyoya said, reaching over to take her hand and kiss it.

Later on, Kyoya and Tamaki made their way to the Music Room where the Host Club entertained their guests. They were doing a medieval cosplay that day, costumes courtesy of the Hitachiin brothers.

In Music Room 3, Kyoya and Tamaki slipped into their costumes. Tamaki wore silver chain mail with a white and blue surcoat on top. He wore a sword at his hip. Kyoya also donned chain main but his surcoat was a deep purple with a golden stallion embroidered over his heart.

Just then the other members walked in. Mori-senpai, Hunny-senpai, Kaoru and Hikaru and finally Haruhi, the brothers were talking excitedly about something.

"Hey Boss!" the Hitachiin brothers said simultaneously, "Guess what?"

They seemed really excited about what they had found.

'Another game perhaps, like the one with Haruhi?' Kyoya wondered.

"There's a new student in our class." Hikaru said.

'Ah, a new game with a new student.' Kyoya amended.

"Two in fact." Kaoru continued.

"And they're twins!" they sang happily.

"Really?" Tamaki asked his face aglow with interest.

"Yes, senpai," Haruhi said, "They're twin sisters named Sakura and Sayuri Yasuhiro."

"Hmm…we also had a new student," Tamaki said, "Don't we Kyoya?"

"Yes, her name is Tsukiko Ame." Kyoya supplied, "Now all of you get dressed before the guests arrive."

Within minutes they were all dressed, Mori-senpai in dark-tinted armor, complete with a helmet with a dark blue plume, he wore a shield bearing a dark blue crest on his left arm and a sword at his right. Hunny-senpai also wore chain mail with a pale yellow surcoat. The twins also wore armor like Mori-senpai's but this time the armor was tinted sky blue. As always, they matched precisely, like mirror images of one another.

Before long the door slowly opened. The Host Club scrambled to their places and as the pale face of some unsuspecting girl peeped inside they all said simultaneously:

"Welcome!"

The girl stepped into the room. A small smile played on her lips and it seemed like light danced in her eyes.

"…So this is the Host Club…"

"Tsukiko Ame!" Kyoya exclaimed.

She smiled, "Hello, Ohtori-san, I said I'd drop by."

The twins stepped forward, studying her minutely.

"Hmm…not bad." One twin said.

"The amethyst eyes really look good." The other commented.

"Are you Boss' new classmate?" They asked together.

"Boss?" Tsukiko repeated.

"Excuse me," Kyoya intervened, "Allow me to introduce the Host Club to you, Ms. Ame."

When she nodded he continued.

"You've already met Tamaki Suoh. He's our president. The twins were referring to him when they asked you if you were 'Boss's' new classmate. They sometimes call him that or 'Milord' depending on their mood. The aforementioned twins are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. They are in first year class A. The third years are Takashi Morinozuka and Mitsukuni Huninozuka, but everyone calls them Mori-senpai and Hunny-senpai.

"Everyone, this is Tsukiko Ame." Kyoya finished.

"Hello everyone," Tsukiko said, her eyes twinkling merrily.

As usual, Hunny-senpai bounced up with Usa-chan, his stuffed bunny, in his arms, his cute boy-Lolita face looking innocently up at Tsukiko.

"Do you like cake? Wanna eat cake with me?" he asked innocently.

Tsukiko tilted her head to one side, "Sure."

"Are you assigning Hunny-senpai as your host then?" Kyoya asked; all business as usual.

"I guess. Does this mean that every time I come here I have to stay with Hunny-senpai?" she blushed lightly, "Sorry, Huninozuka-san, I didn't mean to call you that."

"You can call me Hunny!" Hunny-senpai said happily as he took Tsukiko's hand and began pulling her to a cake covered table, "And I'll call you Tsuki-chan!"

It didn't take long for the Music Room to fill up with customers. Kyoya watched from behind the screen of his laptop as Tamaki caused girls to swoon with sweet words, Haruhi act to natural and innocent, the twins do their twinsest, Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai do their thing and Tsukiko, the new girl, take everything in with calm, sometimes amused, eyes.

'Shouldn't this frazzle her?' Kyoya wondered, 'Most people fall down in shock when they first see the Host Club.'

Then the door opened again and two new guests stepped in.

"Ah! Yasuhiro-chan and Yasuhiro-chan!" the twins exclaimed.

'Huh?' Kyoya looked up to see two girls, two completely identical twin sisters.

"Hitachiin brothers!" the females cried, "Well, we came like we said we would."

"Sayuri? Sakura?"

Kyoya turned his head to see Tsukiko standing and staring at the twins, the female ones.

"What are you two doing here?" she demanded.

The sisters blinked at her then chorused, "Tsukiko-dono!!"

They ran over to embrace Tsukiko. The Hitachiin brothers blinked.

"You girls know each other?" Hikaru asked.

"And what's with the 'dono'?" Kaoru continued.

It didn't escape Kyoya's notice that the twin sisters glanced at Tsukiko as if looking for approval. Neither did he miss the slight nod Tsukiko gave. Kyoya instantly knew who was in charge of the threesome.

"Of course we know each other, Hikaru-kun." One said.

"Tsukiko-dono and we've been friends since we were in elementary school." The other continued.

"And Tsukiko-dono is 'dono' because…well because she is to us." The first one finished.

"Hikaru, Kaoru, why don't you introduce these two lovely princesses to the rest of us unworthy men?" Tamaki suggested extravagantly.

"Ah! Right!" the brothers exclaimed, smacking their foreheads simultaneously.

Each twin took the hand of one of the sisters.

"May we present…" they said simultaneously.

"Sayuri Yasuhiro…" Hikaru said, presenting his twin to the club and its customers.

"…and Sakura Yasuhiro." Kaoru said, also leading the twin he held forward.

The sisters giggled.

"Actually…" they said together, "…that's…"

"Sakura."

"Sayuri."

Each twin…the female ones…pointed at the other. Hikaru and Kaoru looked dumbfounded.

"We…we made a mistake?" the Hitachiins said in a stage whisper.

The female clients who were looking on sighed dreamily at the look on the brothers' faces. Obviously the twins noticed because they immediately went into twincest mode.

"Forgive me, fair damsels!" Kaoru said theoretically, "I would gladly take my own life if that is what it takes to justify the crime my brother and I have inflicted on you."

It was a speech worthy of Tamaki. In fact, Kyoya was pretty sure he had heard Tamaki say something along those lines sometime before…

"NO!"

Hikaru grabbed Kaoru and embraced him…closely. Several girls fainted.

"Don't do it Kaoru!" Hikaru pleaded, tears springing up in his eyes, "How would I go on without you?"

"Hikaru…" Kaoru breathed, caressing his brother's face just inches from his own.

Those girls who hadn't fainted yet swooned now at the sight of the Hitachiins' brotherly love act.

"Oh dear…" Kyoya murmured, surveying the scene before him.

All the ladies had fainted. In fact only three…four if you counted Haruhi, were conscious. It didn't surprise Kyoya that those three would be Tsukiko Ame and the Yasuhiro sisters.

"This has never happened before…" the Hitachiin brothers remarked.

"Jeez…even my customers fainted." Tamaki said peevishly.

"Hika-chan, Kao-chan, you made Takashi and my guests collapse too!" Hunny-senpai said accusingly, "Even Haru-chan's!"

"Sorry!" they said simultaneously…let's just say they said almost everything simultaneously.

"Does this happen all the time?" Tsukiko asked a small amused smile on her lips.

"Well…not really…" Tamaki confessed.

"We'll have to close early today." Kyoya reluctantly decided, "Haruhi, will you please get the smelling salts."

"Sure Kyoya-senpai." Haruhi said, disappearing into the back room.

Kyoya turned his attention to the guests who remained standing, only to see Tsukiko gazing after Haruhi, a puzzled expression on her face. He cleared his throat to gt her attention.

"I'm dreadfully sorry that this had to happen on your first visit here." He said politely, "It's not usually like this, you see."

Tsukiko smiled…again. Actually she was already smiling it just got a fraction bigger.

"Don't worry about it." She said, "Anyway, since you boys seem to have your hands full, I'll go home now…and I'll bring the Yasuhiro twins."

"That would be lovely." Kyoya said, bowing slightly, "Again, I am truly sorry."

Tsukiko only smiled once more…or her ever present smile just got a bit bigger. Kyoya felt a twinge of annoyance. Surely this girl knew more than one facial expression!

"No need to apologize. See you tomorrow, Ohtori-san."

"I look forward to it, Ms. Tsukiko."

She just kept that small smile on her face then turned away. The Yasuhiro sisters were saying goodbye to the other Hosts but when Tsukiko clapped her hands together, the sisters instantly appeared at her side.

'If only the twins were that obedient…' Kyoya thought, thinking of the twin brothers.

Kyoya studied the girls as they waved goodbye to the Host Club. He felt a sense of foreboding about them…especially the one named Tsukiko Ame.

'She's trouble.' He thought, then whispered softly so that only he could hear, "I'm watching you…Tsukiko Ame…"

So that's the second chapter. Sorry I know it left you hanging but its already pre-written so I'm just typing now. Sowi. XD

Reviews are always welcome...and they mean that Kyoya hasn't come and kicked you out of your country.

I think Kyoya's turning out to be a bit dark. Oh well, he was supposed to at the start anyway. And besides...*whispers* I kinda like a dark Kyoya. *Turns around to see Kyoya glaring at me* EEK! What are you doing here?

Kyoya: Nothing...just wondering how you'd get on if I had you ostracized from your country.

Me: Please don't! I haven't done anything to you!

Kyoya: Oh?

Me: Get out of my room and back into the laptop where you belong, Shadow King!!

Whew! Anyway, forgive my mad ramblings. Note: This would be cured by reviews. Thanks for your time.
