Hi, I was bit wary to upload this because I didn't get a single reveiw from the first chapter :(

I realise that chapter One was really short, so if that was what put people off I'm really sorry, this chapter is also very short simply because I wasn't sure if anyone liked this story.

Thankyou if you read the first chapter and I hope you enjoy this one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, all rights go to Bisco Hatori. I do however own Asuka and any other secondary characters I introduce.

Apologies for any spelling or gramatical mistakes, there's bound to be a few.

"Oh God" Asuka sighed, looking out at the mountains of boxes piled in her apartment. Her dad had stayed at the hospital with Hiro, her little brother. He suffered from autism and had been enrolled in an experimental case study looking for cures. The Ootori hospital was one of the only facilities that provided such treatment, and though she hated to admit it moving had been the right choice. She wasn't looking forward to the daunting task of unpacking though, yet she knew it had to be done. Standing amidst the sea of cardboard, she decided to put it off a little longer and started searching for a mug and tea-bags. Then it struck her – no milk, no kettle. Crap. Could she ask a neighbour? Or would that be imposing? After all she hadn't met anyone yet, and didn't know the area. Screw it, she needed caffeine. Mug and tea-bags in hand, she left the apartment and headed for the flats opposite to hers.

Haruhi was reading one her favourite books when she heard a knock at the door. If that was the guys from Ouran she was going to kill them. But the knock was far too gentle for the twins, and she heard no singing so she assumed Tamaki wasn't there. Grumbling she moved towards the door, but when she opened it she saw a girl about her age. Her first assumption was that a fan girl had tracked her down, but she didn't recognize the girls face, and Haruhi liked to think that she paid attention to that sort of thing.

"Hey, er, can I help you?"

"Erm, yes, I just moved in next door and i was wondering if I could borrow your kettle and some milk", the girl motioned to the mug and tea-bags she had brought, "I'm Asuka by the way"

On hearing this Haruhi softened considerably - after all she had nothing to do with the Host club, and seemed nice enough.

"I'm Haruhi, and sure come in; I'll put the kettle on"

Whilst she filled the kettle Asuka stood awkwardly in the doorway, until told to sit down on a cushion. Haruhi handed her the tea, and Asuka smiled for the first time – a smile that Haruhi couldn't help but return.

"So..." Asuka began "...do you go to Ouran Public High School?"

Haruhi blushed "No, I got a scholarship to Ouran Academy"

"Oh, I guess it would have been nice to know someone, but then I guess you might not have even been in my year – how old are you?"

"I'm sixteen, but I'll be seventeen this year, what about you?"

"Seventeen, I know it's an unusual time to transfer"

"So why did you move?" Haruhi realised just how blunt the question had been so quickly added "If you don't mind me asking that is..."

Should she lie to her? Asuka contemplated it, but instead decided to give a partial answer.

"We moved for the...health facilities - the Ootori hospital is just up the road"

"Ootori hospital? I know an Ootori, he's -"

Suddenly she was cut off by a loud knock at the door and seriously out of tune singing. Great. And she thought today was going to be so peaceful.

I know it was really short but at least now Asuka has met another character :)

Thanks for reading and please reveiw if you liked, and even if you didn't.
