AN:Ok, so I made the characters more like their actual personalities rather than completely Ouran and I am also trying to fit as many pairings in here as I can so just go with it cause the pairings that look like they may happen may not.

Artemis was aware of Barbara coming out of the curtain behind her. The red head stared at her friend and followed her gaze to where Dick was sitting. "Who is that?" She asked.

Artemis looked to Barbara and then back to Dick. "Umm...I don't know." She lied easily and began walking towards Dick's table. "I should probably take his order though." She shrugged hoping Barbara would fall for it.

Barbara just nodded and went around to her own tables and Artemis approached Dick. "What are you doing here?" She asked with a fake smile on her face and trying to put as much venom into the words as possible.

"Oh, Artemis, hi. Fancy meeting you here." He gave her a wink and a smug smile, putting extra emphasis on her name.

She frowned. "How did you know my name?"

Dick's smirk only deepened as he looked down at the menu he was holding. "I always do a background check on everyone who has dealings with the Host Club members. Imagine my surprise when checking one of Bart and Jaime's classmates and finding that they had no record. As if they simply didn't exist. I did find an Artemis Crock though. I didn't put together that you were a girl until I saw you." He shrugged and continued skirting through the menu. "I have to say though. I never pictured you as the maid type."

Artemis frowned. This guy was more annoying than she originally thought."I never pictured you for the maid type either." She shrugged. "What can I get you?"

Dick only smiled and cocked his head to the side as if studding here. "Touché." He glanced back as his menu then up at her. "A coffee would be fine."

Artemis nodded and jot down his order on a slip of paper. She graced him with an overly friendly smile as was customary to give to customers. "It'll be right out." She told him before quickly walking away.

She didn't know what he was doing here or why he was here. All she knew was that for the entire time she worked, he never once took his eyes off her. This elected many joyful squeals of delight from Megan and many wistful sighs from Barbara.

Jade cornered Artemis at one point during her work shift. "Who's the prince over there?" She asked jerking her head in Dick's general direction. "Is he your boyfriend or something?" She sneered at her sister and taunted her. "He could probably do better since I'm assuming he's from your school."

Artemis resisted the urge to snap at her sister. She had to remember that at work, Jade was her boss and would treat her as such. One slip of the mouth and Artemis would be back to job hunting. "No. He's not my boyfriend." She said through clenched teeth. "He's just an acquaintance."

Jade looked like she didn't quite believe her, but shrugged anyway. "Well, tell your...acquaintance to stop staring at you. It's giving me the creeps."

Artemis internally rolled her eyes, but told her she would anyway. She walked over to Dick's table and watched as he leaned back into his chair as she came closer. "My sister wants you to stop staring at me." She said neutrally.

Dick only cracked a smirk. "Of course." He said nonchalantly. He was up to something. Artemis could tell. "What? You gonna fall for me now?" He asked when he realized she was scrutinizing him.

Artemis scoffed. "As if." He was almost cocky as he was annoying. Almost. "When are you leaving anyway?" She asked him.

Dick just shrugged. "Whenever you do." He gave her what would be a pleasant smile that looked more evil to her.

"I leave when this place closes. You can't stay here until then."

"Why?" He asked trying to be innocent, but failing miserably.

"Because." Her voice coming out as a growl.

"Now Artemis," He told her in a matter of fact tone. "You must always be nice to your guests. Besides, the way I see it, you really can't kick me out." The way he said it almost made her not even ask.

"What do you mean?" She asked with suspicion.

"Well, certainly, as I'm sure you know, students from Ouran are forbidden to have any jobs outside of school sponsored ones. I just wonder what the board will think when they find out that their precious honor student got a job without their permission." He stirred his coffee around twice before his gaze settled on Artemis' pale face. "So I guess I'll be staying." He gave one last smile and Artemis turned around fuming.

So that was why he was still here. Blackmail. But why would someone like Dick Grayson need to blackmail someone like Artemis. It didn't make sense to her, yet. She was smart, she'll find out why eventually.

…...

She had gotten Dic to leave five minutes before closing time at Jade's suggestion (order). As she changed back into her normal clothes, her fellow employers and friends began gushing about the mysterious prince. Artemis rolled her eyes at this nickname. As far as she was concerned, there was nothing even remotely princely about him.

"Did you see his eyes?" Barbara asked Megan excitedly . "They were like a deep ocean blue."

Megan nodded. "And you could totally tell he works out." She sighed wistfully.

Jade rolled her eyes at them. "You guys are pathetic. He was obviously a total stalker. I mean he couldn't even keep his eye off of Artemis." She grabbed her jacket off the hook by the door. "He was probably undressing her with his eyes." She muttered under her breath.

This caused another round of squealing from Megan who turned and looked at her. "Yeah he was all over you. It's obvious you guys knew each other." She grabbed Artemis' hands in her own and began jumping up and down. "Tell me everything."

Artemis tore her hands out of Megan" grasp and frowned at Jade. "Thanks a lot." Jade seemed unfazed by this. "He's no one. He just goes to my school." She told Megan, grabbing her bag from her locker.

Jade shrugged on her coat and headed for the door. "I'm going out on a date tonight with Red." She quickly told Artemis and opened the door. "Don't wait up. Oh and your little friend is here." She walked out into the night as Artemis groaned. He was really waiting for her?

This only succeed in sending Megan into a new round of squealing. "Oh, he waited for you and everything. He totally likes you."

Artemis rolled her eyes and swatted at Megan. "He does not. He's probably collected more information for his creepy little club." And she headed out the door to find Dick.

"Hey." He said giving her a head nod. "Ready to go?"

Artemis was so tempted to punch him. "Ready to go my ass. You're not going anywhere with me."

Dick gave her a wounded puppy dog looked that she elected to ignore as she set off for her house. "But I'm interested to see just how a commoner lives." He pouted and followed her to the train station.

Artemis frowned. "Go away. I already have to deal with you tomorrow. I don't want to deal with you now." She could swear she heard whining noises behind her, but ignored those too. She stepped into the train station coughing a little and fighting off a chill. "I'll see you at school tomorrow. Okay?" She didn't really wait for an answer as she went to her train and headed home.

…..

She had a headache when she woke up the next day and decided to ignore it, taking two advils on her way out the door and noticing that Jade had not returned home last night. Figures.

As she walked into school in her usual ratty uniform she was surprised when both Bart and Jaime began talking to her in class. "Don't forget, you have to come to the host club after school today." Bart reminded her politely

"Yeah," Jaime agreed. "If you don't, the boss will flip." He smirked evilly. "That actually might be fun to see. On second thought you don't have to come." He shrugged.

Artemis nodded. "Yeah, well, I think its a better idea if I do go."

Bart and Jaime did the creepy twin thing again. "Suit yourself." They said in unison.

She smiled at them and coughed as the teacher began the class. She was definitely not looking forward to this after noon.

AN: So I hoped you liked it. Please review with favorite pairings or characters you hope to see in the story. Please know that there will probably be several pairing moments with different people. I hope to fit major pairings in it and less minor ones, but if you really wanna see them, I can try to fit them in so let me know :D
