Chapter 2- The Clubs

Natalya:

I was on the alert instantly. When the bright lights finally dimmed down enough for me to actually see, I saw six guys and one cross dressing female. Two of the guys being Takashi and Hunny. I gave them a slight wave and the tall blonde came up and took my hand.

"Hello, Princess," he said in a seducing tone.

I took my hand back and looked at him with utmost boredom. Then I turned to Takashi.

"You guys asked me here for this? I'm out."

As I turned to leave I felt a familiar someone tug my sleeve. I looked down to see Hunny and some stuffed bunny.

"Please don't go, Nat-Chan," he pleaded, his eyes getting a little teary.

My gaze softened and I sighed, turning back around. He cheered and hopped onto Takashi's shoulders.

"Fine. But first, I want names, and I want to know what all of this is," I said, gesturing to the full room.

The tall blonde smiled warmly at me.

"But of course. I am Tamaki, the princely type. This is Kyoya, the cool type, Haruhi, the natural, Hikaru and Kaoru, the little devils, Mori-Senpai, the wild and silent, and his cousin, Hunny-Senpai, the boy Lolita. Who would you like to host you today?"

"Takashi. Be seems the most quiet," I answered instantly.

It seemed to me that he seemed a bit sad that I didn't choose him, but I didn't really care all that much. Just from this little experience I could see that most of the people who walked through these doors chose him.

Takashi held out his hand for me and I took it, walking beside him until we sat down at a table with about four other girls. I nodded to them and they glared as I sat down right next to him.

"So how are you liking Ouran so far?" Takashi asked me.

I looked up with the slightest hint of surprise. It was, after all, the first time I had ever heard him speak. I quickly shook it off.

"It's fine. A lot of people and a lot of pink, but fine."

He smiled slightly and I smiled back. In the corners of my eyes I saw the girls glaring even harder. One even started snarling under her breath. I turned to her.

"If you're angry at me because I'm a customer like you then I suggest you get glad in the same pants you got mad in."

Everyone's eyes widened at what I just said. I shrugged it off, not really caring anymore, and took out my book and read.

Third Person:

Sabrina was glad that her lil' twinny was getting out of her shell to go to that Music Room. She briefly wondered who she liked there that she would even accept a request like that. Well, Sabrina figured that she would know in due time anyway- Natalya can't keep secrets from her. They might have been different, but they were very close- at least, Sabrina liked to think that they were. She hoped that Natalya felt the same. Besides, they did have a few things in common- besides being twins they were both snarky that was for sure.

Sabrina smiled my same goofy, slightly-lopsided smile as she made my ways through the halls.

"Damn babe, it should be illegal to wear a skirt that short," one guy behind her whistled.

Sabrina felt her eye twitch before she forced a smile back on her face. And here I thought perverts wouldn't be in such a studious school. Sabrina twirled around to face the guy that spoke to her. She fake smiled at him,

"Mind saying that to my face?"

The guy just smirked while his buddies laughed to themselves. He got into her face,

"I said, damn babe it should be illegal to wear a skirt that short."

"Thought so," Sabrina said cheerfully, "If you say anything like that again, you'll see just how difficult it is to make comments like that with your mouth sewed together. Got it?"

She smiled cheerfully and titled her head slightly. His eyes widened slightly and his buddies gulped. Despite the cheerful demeanor, one could sense the dark aura around her. Oh gods, I think it's for this reason that Nico bet I was his half-sister instead of Annabeth's.

"Got it," he gulped.

"Good," Sabrina said cheerfully as she happily went on her way, the dark aura around her disappearing.

Yeah I'm scary when I'm angry...

"That was rather dark, ~hehe," a creepy voice said.

Sabrina turned around and wondered if the kid before her was an unclaimed child of Hades.

"Nekozawa Umheito, president of the Black Magic Club," he chuckled darkly, "Please feel free to stop by anytime..."

"Sure," Sabrina said with a smile before she continued on her way, still wondering if Hades had any other children...

Eventually, she found herself in the garden. She spun around slightly, loving the feel of the fresh air and the slight breeze. She was alone so she didn't care that her loose shirt was flying up slightly, revealing the small edges of her black bra. Her skirt flew up as well, twirling around her gracefully, but revealing her pink underwear.

"M-ma," someone stuttered.

She stopped spinning to see a mean-looking redhead holding a flower pot. His face was almost as red as his hair.

"Oh! I didn't know there was someone there," Sabrina smiled, "You didn't-"

"-N-No," he interrupted, "I didn't see anything! I mean, I did, but I didn't want to, not that you're not p-pretty, I just mean-"

Sabrina, taken back at his honesty and flustered state, just laughed. She lightly tapped his cheek,

"That's okay! It was my fault really and I can see you're not a pervert. My name's Carter Sabrina, please call me Brena or Bean!"

"Okay," he said confused, the blush still not leaving his face, "I'm Kasanoda Ritsu."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kasanoda-san, say you don't know if there's a photography club would you? I really want to join a club."

"There's a gardening club, but we're full," Ritsu said, "I don't know about the photography club, but I know that the newspaper club is always looking for a new photographer."

"And deal with that Akira," she huffed, "Damn... Thank you though! I might as well give it a shot, I even have my camera in my locker! Can you show me where it is?"

"S-sure?"

Natalya put down her book as Takashi tapped her, holding a slice of cake in his hands. She took it with a smile.

"Thanks."

He smiled ever so slightly. Hunny looked between the two with excitement. He could tell what was up.

"What book are you reading?"

"Batman:Knightfall. It's the novel version of the comic books."

He raised an eyebrow.

"You like superheroes?"

Natalya shrugged.

"Not really. Just Batman. My sister, Sabrina, even gave me a nickname because I like him so much."

"What would that be?"

"Ghoul."

At his confused look she chuckled.

"There's a character in Batman called Talia Al Ghoul. Talia is a shorter version of Natalya, and the nickname got even shortened to just plain Ghoul."

He nodded, glancing at the red haired twins.

"Interesting."

Natalya blushed ever so slightly, not sure if she should take it as a compliment or insult.

Kyoya watched the girl from across the room, writing furiously in his notebook. If possible, he wanted to get every single detail about her and her sister, just in case anything happened. He wanted to know fears, health disorders, and other family relations. He was determined to know.

"What were you writing down in that book earlier?" Hunny asked.

Natalya shrugged.

"Just some facts about monsters."

The girls across from Natalya scoffed.

"What kind of monsters? Dragons and trolls?" The brown haired one asked snarkly.

"Yes."

She looked surprised that Natalya could answer so bluntly.

"Along with gorgons, harpies, echidnas, spiders, and a whole lot more."

The blonde haired girl looked at her quizzically.

"Spiders?"

Natalya nodded, a shiver running down her spine. It wasn't uncommon for a child of Athena to be afraid of spiders. In fact, each one of Athena's kids was slightly afraid.

"I'm an arachnophobic."

The girls made 'oh' faces. Natalya just dove into her cake to avoid further questioning.

Sabrina laughed with Ritsu as the two reached the club room. She found that Ritsu was good company and a possible future friend. He was shy, blunt, and short-tempered. Due to their brief visit to her locker, she held a camera around her neck.

"Thanks for helping me, Ritsu-kun," Sabrina said cheerfully.

He looked at her in shock,

"-kun?"

"Well, yeah, you're my friend now, right? I hope so since I don't really have any friends at the school yet beside my twin sister and you're the first person to be nice to me."

"Y-yeah," he mumbled as he shoved his hands in his pockets, "Yeah we're friends... I guess."

She smiled cheerfully and waved as he left her alone to enter the club. As he was leaving, Ritsu couldn't help but smile slightly. Sabrina was loud, cheery, optimistic, and vividly bright- and she was his first friend besides the guys at the syndicate. And she's really cute...

Sabrina took a deep breath and entered the newspaper club.

"Ah, how may we help you," Akira greeted as he looked up.

Then he noticed it was her and he narrowed his eyes. Sabrina looked to the confused guys that stood beside Akira. One was sort of handsome- or at least decent looking- with brown hair and a kinder face. The other had blonde hair in a bowl cut that covered his eyes. Rather interesting bunch.

"Glad you asked," Sabrina said cheerfully, "I was wondering if I could join the newspaper club? I heard you needed new members and I'm rather good with photography."

"No," Akira said bluntly, "We're open to everyone but you."

"Tsk," Sabrina scowled, "That's rather rude, now isn't it?"

"Ehem," the brown haired one coughed slightly, "Who is she?"

"She's in my class," Akira snapped, "She just arrived to school today."

"Carter Sabrina," Sabrina introduced herself as she bowed, "Please call me Brena or Bean! I insist! Who might you be?"

"Sato Tomochika," the brown haired one bowed, "This is Ukyo Chikage."

The blonde one gave a nod.

"It doesn't matter," Akira barked, "She's not joining!"

"But we need someone to join," Chikage pointed out, "We can loose the club if we don't have enough people."

Akira scowled and rubbed his temples. Finally, he sighed,

"Fine. You can be the photographer, granted if you're any good."

"Oh I'm good alright," Sabrina said as she handed him the camera, "Check it."

Akira narrowed his eyes, but grabbed the camera. The other two leaned over to look at the pictures. There was a picture of an African mother in rags, holding a thin African boy (presumably her son) in a small village, but they weren't looking at the camera. Instead, the mother was looking straight ahead, but the son was looking over her shoulder at the camera with an awed expression- not at all was it posed. The next picture of a beautiful sunset over a flat area of land, it looked like it was taken from a cliff or high location. One picture showed a girl with long black hair (Natalya), her nose in her book, as she walked down the street, but the lightening and position of the picture made it look beautiful instead of just random. Picture after picture, their jaws dropped.

"Where were these taken?"

"Swahili, Australia, Canada, Greece... Dad likes to travel and move a lot."

Sabrina shrugged and took back the camera,

"So I'm in?"

"You're in."

Chikage and Tomochika shared a small smile as they saw the look Akira had on his face when he watched Sabrina cheer. He almost smiled.

I can't wait to tell Natalya!

"Ghoul!" Sabrina yelled, bursting into Music Room three.

Much to her surprise she didn't have her nose in a book. Then again, everyone was leaving because club hours are over, so it made a little sense.

Natalya turned to her sister but didn't have any time to react as Sabrina glomped her, throwing her off balance.

"Woah!"

The twins landed with a thud and the vase that had come with them shattered into a million pieces. Sabrina gave an annoyed Natalya a sheepish smile.

"Heh...Uh...Oopsy..."
