Author's Note:

"Rachel and the Host Club" is obviously AU. Well on the 'Ouran High School Host Club' end of things. When I started the story I had only watched the three first episodes of the magma show. I was pleased to note that there were actual books about this new wonderful show that I happened to find on Net flicks. It wasn't until I had computer problems before I could even start the third chapter of the story. Well I had been able to read the first four books by the time I got my computer fixed & realized that I described the Music room completely wrong. I didn't realize that everyone actually still lived at home. I thought the school was a boarding school & the boys just took over the music room as their own private living area – seeing how Tamaki's father is the main chairman at the school after all.

I also stated that Tamaki and Kyoya were childhood friends – but I didn't realize they met in last year of middle school – and that Kyoya truly was annoyed with Tamaki in the beginning. I also stated that no one but Hunny called Mori 'Mori'.

I have debated with myself over the years of changing the prelude chapter – so it could actually fit with what Bisco Hatori had written – but; I have finally decided not too. Because the way that I have planned for this story to play out I need the entire Host club & Rachel all in one place. It would be confusing writing everyone in their proper homes & try to find a 'host' family for Rachel. I know literally nothing about Japan. Whatever sight seeing I'm going to have Rachel & whomever from the Glee club (besides Noah) whom come to visit with Rachel – I'm going to take from the novels & hopefully whatever I can locate on the internet.

Tamaki is going to have his issues with his grandmother – just like the story. I would never change that aspect of the OHSHC story. The only difference is that Kyoya will have more an major role in that story line – as in he won't wait till the very end of the whole story to realize how Tamaki is all about family. Kyoya and Tamaki are more like brothers in this story (they met when Tamaki's father visited with Anna and Tamaki in Japan when the boys were two).

Kyoya will have his issues with his dad over being the third son. But; like I said earlier he won't have too much annoyance with Tamaki's true nature in this story – he will actually confide in Tamaki his thoughts, and feelings over his situation at home.

Kyoya will be his typical stiff necked ways – mostly with Rachel & the Lima aspect of the story – seeing how I don't want him to be that with Tamaki. So don't worry you'll still have the Kyoya that you all love to try to figure out what's really going on behind his mask.

Everything else in OHSHC novels, and the show will be the same.

Now for the Glee end of the story.

I know Cory's death has hit everyone hard. But; I have decided that I'm not going to drastically change Finn's character – so that he would always shine like a 'golden boy' in honor of Cory. I don't think Cory would want anyone to do that to the character Finn Hudson. Cory played Finn as the flawed character that he was – granted he had the heart of gold; truly Finn's heart was big enough to include everyone – his heart had been hurt when Quinn cheated on him; his heart had been hurt when Rachel cheated on him; he didn't always know how to handle Kurt being around him; due to Kurt's early crush on him; but once Finn accepted Kurt as his step-brother – he protected Kurt as he would anyone – he just didn't always know how to properly handle the gay side was all. (But that's pretty typical for a lot of people). Yes; Finn had anger problems – I mean Finn didn't really have a solid male role model until Sophomore year of high school – where Will took Finn under his wing; and later Burt. Yes granted Finn had issues with his anger – where he would act like a two year old boy (kicking chairs in his anger fits) – but his anger never lasted that long. Once he calmed down; and dealt with the issue at hand that was hurting him – he moved passed it. He forgive Quinn for cheating on him; and for lying that Beth was his child. He forgive Puck for stealing his girlfriend. He forgive Rachel for cheating on him. Although I wish he could have moved forward & realized that neither Quinn or Rachel were the woman for him – I truly feel that his true soul mate was still out there for him to meet. (Sadly Cory had to pass away before that could have been explored. But; knowing Glee's writers – I doubt they would have ever allowed that to be explored). I feel that we finally saw the growth in Finn's character in season four when he took over Glee Club while Will was away.

I'm not a Finchele fan. If I write Finchele then they will always break up. Just as Fiunn will. Like I said I think there is a better woman out there for Finn Hudson.

I'm a major Faberry fan. So obviously I'm writing Faberry ENDGAME (even with this major long distance thing that is in this story).

For right now the story is set in early season two; so Quinn is still dating Sam. I'm not going to turn Sam into the idiot that they have sadly written Sam in the show. Sam is going to remain just as he was in season two when he was dating Quinn.

Rachel and Kurt's friendship is just as it is now. Even though Kurt is in Ohio and Rachel is in Japan; doesn't mean that Hummelberry can't be as sicking cute as always. Why didn't I write Rachel in the sister school of Dalton – well I fell in love with OHSHC; and when I heard the 'I thought there was no bullying in this school' from the very first episode; I knew that I had to send Rachel to OHS. (Sides what better way to get my feet wet in the OHSHC fandom but to write a crossover with Glee).

Oh; and when Finn saw 'present' day Rachel when he had his hand tightly gripped on Quinn's arm – Rachel didn't supernatural show up in that choir room from Japan. Rachel was just a memory that Finn was having – (I'll do a flash back to the memory in a later chapter) so he could realize how tightly he was gripping Quinn's arm. I just wanted to stress that I'm not writing any supernatural aspects in this story.
