Chapter 2: Meeting the Gang
A/N: Thanks everyone for the reviews so far! I really appreciate the support so far. Since I am still feeling inspired, I hope to keep putting up chapters. Please continue to read and review. Flames will not be tolerated.
I do not own OHSHC or its characters. I do own my OC(s).
When Leiona looked eyes with Kyoya, was suddenly overcome with the feeling that she had seen these eyes before. She was not sure where, and it bothered her.
"Excuse me princess, but would you care to join myself and my friends for lunch? Since you are new I would love to introduce you to some new people" Tamaki said. This broke Leiona's gazed with Kyoya.
"No thank you. I have some other plans, but I would love to see your club that you mentioned. Where is it again?"
"It is in Music room #3." Kyoya interjected. "Here is a map there. Even students who have been attending Ouran for some time have trouble finding it. We will be starting about 30 minutes after classes are dismissed for the day".
"Umm thank you" she replied. She took the map from Kyoya, but wasn't sure what exactly to think of this. The boys began to leave and then it occurred to her... "Excuse me, but what kind of club is this?"
"Just wait and see my dear. You will love it" Tamaki stated as he and Kyoya left the room.
Leiona left the room not far behind them. She was completely puzzled as to what she had just gotten herself into. Even more so, she could not shake the thought that she had seen Kyoya somewhere before.
Leiona was bothered the entire day by thoughts of trying to place Kyoya. She went through her contacts online and also eliminated just about everyone she ever went to school with
"Surely I have seen him somewhere before, but where?! I can't be that crazy right? Then again I am going to visit a club that I have no idea what they do so maybe I have lost it" she thought.
As classes were dismissed she made her way to the club room. Even with a map she was surprised that she made it there, and it took her almost 30 minutes to find it. She found the sign that said "Music Room #3" that was hanging outside a giant set of double doors.
"Here goes nothing" she thought as she pushed open the heavy doors. Suddenly, rose petals began flying out of the room, as a group of boys greeted her.
"Welcome!" They all said. Leiona was completed bewildered by what was happening. As she was able to collect herself, she saw that the boys who greeted her were the only boys in the entire room. She also noticed that this room was filled with girls.
"Excuse me but I was sent her by Tamaki and Kyoya. Do I have the right room?" She asked as she was puzzled as to what was going on.
"Why yes my sweet beauty you are in the right place. Welcome to the Host Club" Tamaki said as he whisked her off to a table. By this point Kyoya had already taken a seat at the table with his laptop, and the other boys had grouped around him.
"Now my dear I need to ask you, who would you like to host you today? We have the Boy Lolita, Mitsukuni Haninozuka, who we call Honey or the Strong and Silent Type, Takashi Morinozuka, who we call Mori" Tamaki said as he pointed to a short little blonde boy and a giant man with dark hair. "They are both 3rd years"
"That kid is older than me? Hell I would have thought he was in elementary" Leiona thought to herself. "And that guy looks really scary. He might be nice to have to kick someone's ass though"
Tamaki continued the introductions "We also have the "Little Devil type, the twins, Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin, both 1st years". At this point the two twins got very close to each other, in an almost twin-cestual way.
"Hikaru, you know that you are worried about that nightmare you had last night. I promise I will always be there to protect you" Kaoru said as he held Hikaru.
"Kaoru, you promised never to tell anyone about that. What happens at night was supposed to be private!" Kaoru said nervously. At this point some of the other girls had taken notice and were screaming and blushing.
"If they really are the little devil type then I can totally see creating havoc with these two, but I think I am good for now" she thought.
"Then we have our Prince Charming, myself" Tamaki said as he look her hand and pulled her from the chair he had sat her in just minutes before. He spun Leiona around and dipped her, pulling her slowly back up, putting their faces within inches of each other. "My princess" he said as he gave her a rose and helped her sit back down.
"He is really cute!" Leiona thought as she blushed. She gazed at the rose, then realized she was being a little too girly over a guy she just met and snapped out of it.
"And then we have our natural, Haruhi Fujioka." at this point a very girlish looking boy came around from behind the one they called "Mori" and introduced themselves.
"It's a pleasure to meet you miss. I am sure that we will have a great time here with you!" Haruhi said.
The light bulb went off above Leoina's head. "This guy is totally not a guy. Way to friendly. But I can see us being good friends" she thought.
"So who do you choose Leiona?" Kyoya pondered. He was gazing into his laptop, working deeply on something.
"Im not sure yet. What's you type?" She asked.
"My type?" Kyoya coolly replied. "What makes you think that I have a type?"
"Well everyone else here does. You have the cute little boy that is somehow older than me and the big strong quiet one who seems to be very protective of the little one. You have the two trouble makers that are VERY close, You have the over-the-top Prince Flirty, and you have the guy that actually isn't a guy... So what is your type?"
At this point everyone but Kyoya's jaws dropped. She pegged them all! After the entire host club collected themselves, they look her back to the changing area.
"How did you know my daughter was a girl?!" Tamaki frantically asked. "We have worked hard to keep that from everyone! No one outside this club knows!". Tamaki went crazy, went to the twins and put both of them in a headlock. "It was you to wasn't it!"
"Boss honestly we didn't tell. We have no need to" the twins said in sync.
"Tamaki let them go. They are telling the truth" Kyoya stated as pushed his glasses up with his index finger. Leiona watched as he did this and something about this gesture seemed oddly familiar. "If nothing else you know that we should never be like this in front of our guests".
"In all honesty it wasn't that hard to figure out. I just had a feeling. She gave me a good vibe like someone I could be great friends with here and I just guessed" Leiona pipped up. "In all honesty you are really the one who told me. I took a chance, you just confirmed it"
At this thought Tamaki went into the corner and started making mushrooms, and the twins and Haruhi lost it. They started laughing so they were crying.
"We told you boss that we didn't rat her out!" The twins choked out the words between their fits.
"Sempai you did it to yourself" Haurhi giggled. At this she got up from the floor and went to Leiona. "I think you are right, I think we will make very good friends. Anyone they could figure out who I am that fast deserves a chance" she said as she patted Leiona on the shoulder. "We really should hang out sometime!"
"We really should!" Leiona said. "I would love to have you over to get to know you all..."
"It seems that we have a problem" Kyoya interrupted. "With all do respect Leiona, we cant run the risk that you will expose Haruhi. It would ruin our club." Leiona felt an almost icy chill as he said these words.
"I have no intention of ratting her out. I gain nothing from it" Leiona replied shortly. She moved herself to be directly in front of Kyoya.
"Well in that case, we need to continue to make sure you gain nothing from it. I propose this. I am very well aware of who your parents are, as you are the heir to the recently blossoming PhillipsTech company. You have access to new and developing technology that not even our families can get their hands on...".
"Wait a minute, so your Leiona PHILLIPS! You can totally hook us up with all the new toys your parents come up with! You are so our new best friend!" The twins said in unison. The two boys took each of her arms and started to fight over her.
"Yes that is true. What exactly is your point?" Leiona retorted as she pulled her arms back from Hikaru and Kaoru.
"My point is this. This club could benefit greatly from your parents technological advancements and your expertise." Kyoya replied as stepped closer to Leiona. "I propose this. In order to insure Haruhi's secret remains, you are to join our club as our consultant. You will not be expected to host or anything like the rest of us. You will primarily assist me with club operations. Your talents and resources are indispensable".
Leiona was not sure if she should be flattered by his compliments about her talents and expertise, or insulted that he thought that she would be so cruel as to expose the secret of someone she just met.
"And why exactly would I want to join this club? You can't make me!" Leiona got a step closer to Kyoya, putting them within inches of each other. "You cannot force someone to join a club! That's the point of a club, its optional!"
At this point the remainder of the host club began to snicker, knowing the truth about why Haruhi was there.
"Actually I'm only here because I owe the club money" Haruhi confessed. "I broke a vase that I could not afford to pay for so I am working as a host to repay my debt. They thought I was a boy for a long time, which is why I still dress like one, even though they all know that I am a girl" pointing to the boys. "I enjoy it now though, and I think you will to. Please join the club. I would love another girl to be here, and one that isn't always blushing and fainting!"
"This is a girl I barely know, people I just met, but for some reason I feel drawn here. Ive been looking for a place to be in this town. My life has been turned upside down by moving here. Maybe, just maybe this is the place for me" Leiona thought.
"Fine, I will join. Under one condition." Leiona stated.
"And what, pray tell, might that be" Kyoya replied.
"Answer my question from earlier. What is YOUR type?"
"Why that is simple" he said as he closed the gap between the two. His body was nearly pressed against Leiona. The two locked eyes for what seemed like an eternity. His cool grey eyes met her hazel. Kyoya took off his glasses and flipped his hair back as he put his mouth near her ear and whispered. "The cool type".
Leiona fought back blushing as Kyoya stepped back, put his glasses back back on and pushed them up with his index finger.
"So Lei-chan is staying with us?" Honey chimed in? "Great! Lei-chan, do you want to hold Usa-chan and have some cake?" Honey began to tug on Leiona's sleeve.
Leiona wasn't sure what to think of what just happened. She was still in shock that a boy had even gotten that close to her. She knew she wasn't unattractive, but she wore natural makeup and always kept were waist length red violet hair in a bun on her head.
As Honey continued to tug on her sleeve, Leiona snapped out of her lost thought.
"Sure Honey-Sempai, I would love to join you and Usa-Chan" she replied as she pet Honey on the head. "Lead the way".
Honey took her by the hand and dragged her to the small table that was filled with cake... lots of cake.
As the cake was served, she looked over the table and locked eyes with Kyoya one more time. Then it hit her where she had seen those eyes before, and she heart began to fill with heartbreak.
A/N: And that's a wrap for chapter two! I hope to have the next chappie up soon. As you can see Kyoya and Leiona know each other from their past, and clearly it didn't end well. Please read and review (no flames). Next chapter may even be the one that established where these two encountered each other before!
Thanks for reading!
