Ok just warning; some events from the anime WILL appear in this story, but they might be altered to fit the story, be mixed with different characters, or out-of-order.
Not every episode or arch will be covered though, because that would take way to long. Also, If you're reading this most likely you know like say, the flashback episodes with the back stories of each character and bglahblah, things like those episodes I won't include.
Kyoya: *adjusts glasses* I would start now. You owe me a nickel for every word you type.
Me: I don't owe you anythin', Mr. Glasses. 'kay?
Kyoya: -_-"
Katsu's morning looked like it was going to be the usual. Eating a good breakfast, meeting up with Ayumi at her locker, then dodge the Host Club in the halls. How she managed to stay out of the Host's clutches so far she wouldn't know for sure, but she was thankful. She got out of her car and headed inside the school. She yawned; some people were giving her odd looks of confusion or disgust. She wondered why. She quickly headed to her locker and took off the lock. She looked in the mirror she hung on the door to find her hair was a bit messy, and her skirt was uneven. Also her tie was a little loose.
"Bah, and they give me strange looks. They're the ones wearing yellow monstrosities." She adjusted her tie and fixed her skirt. She opted to wear the boy's uniform, with minor, 'moderate' changes. She wore the blue jacket, the button up collar shirt(or blouse, in her case), the tie, and instead of the nice dress pants, she wore a plain black 'knee length' (It was usually an inch or two higher than the knee, no teacher ever checked her, so she got away with it) skirt, knee high socks, and nice flats. She thought it looked much better than those horrible dresses; she even started a petition to make the outfit she was wearing optional for every girl. Ayumi helped her, she wore the same school 'outfit' each day like Katsu, but other than that no one bothered to push for the change. In the spring they would wear shorter sleeved uniforms, but more or less the same.
Katsu, looking a little more presentable, headed to her classroom early as usual. She expected to see Haruhi there, since she usually came in early too, but she found the room was empty. She brought her things to her desk in the back corner, and laid her head down on her desk. She was more tired than usual, her parents were so loud she couldn't really stay asleep. She yawned and closed her eyes for a minute. Afterwards she sat up straight, only to see two ginger-headed twins grinning at her with their hands in their pockets a few feet away.
"Ahh!" she freaked in surprise and her chair titled back, causing her to fall over on her back. The twins just stood over her with questioning looks on their face, then proceeded to look at each other then laugh at her a bit. "Alright alright! What do you two want, you knew that'd happen." Katsu glared at them. They just stared at her.
"Quite the peculiar one huh brother."
"Yeah, she's like a turtle in someone's pocket."
"..What? Why am I peculiar? Why am I suddenly a turtle? And SINCE WHEN DO TURTLES RESIDE IN POCKETS!" She objected, flailing her arms at them and kicking her feet on the ground like a child.
"Jeez, chill. We just came with Haruhi to class early for once." Hikaru explained. Katsu finally noticed Haruhi sitting in her chair, reading. A light bulb went off in her head.
"Haruhi! Haruhi, help!" She cried. Haruhi was sucked into her book so she didn't know what happened before hand, when she looked up all she saw was Katsu on the ground and the twins standing over her.
"What did you guys do." she grumbled.
"What? We didn't do anything!" they explained.
"Yes you diidd!" Katsu lied. Haruhi helped Katsu up then turned to the boys.
"You two need to learn to behave and stop being so mischievous. It can cause people to get hurt." Haruhi reprimanded, while she was talking the twins saw Katsu grin evilly in triumph.
They pointed at her. "She lied! She's not hurt at all!"
"Oh just shut it, you meanies!" She said back. She ran up to the chalk board at the front of the room and began to draw, signaling that she'd hear no more of their objections. Haruhi went back to reading, and the twins crossed their arms in annoyance. They looked each other and they both thought the same thing
'Bratty...' After a while, they got bored, so the pondered on what to do. They walked up behind Katsu.
"What are you drawing?"
"Nona your stinkin' business that's what." Katsu insulted.
"Hey!" They shot back together, and then calmed their voices.
"No need to be"-
"So rude about it." They said.
She looked back at them and thought about it for a bit. She smiled. "Hey, Stay just like that for me?" she asked politely.
"Uh...sure." Katsu started to draw something using up much of the chalkboard, and the chalk. She looked back at the brothers occasionally then back to her drawing. When she was finished she put the chalk down and without warning put her chalk-covered hands on their faces. She went back to her desk as other students began walking in.
"Why'd she-"
"Oh wow! Who drew that?" A bunch of girls looked at the drawing Katsu made on the chalkboard; it was of Hikaru and Kaoru standing like they were. Kaoru leaning on Hikaru's left side with his leg bent and arms crossed while Hikaru was leaning against the desk behind him with his hands holding the edge of the desk. It was all pretty accurate, even their slightly confused facial expressions. They wiped off the chalk from their faces.
"Pretty good, I guess." they said to each other, they then got swamped with girls asking them to pose. They complied until the teacher walked in beginning classes.
After School
Katsu packed up her books and homework in her back-pack carefully. She was a messy person, but she loved her work to be some-what neat. She stretched her arms, kicked her locker shut, and latched on her lock. She hoisted her bag over her shoulder and walked freely down the hall listening to her iPod. She loved music; she loved anything original and artistic really. She thought she heard steps following her, but she decided to ignore it, she always thought she heard things when she was listening to her iPod in public. She turned another corner and came face to face with Honey and Mori. She jumped and started to run, but Mori grabbed her and picked her up by her arms. He held her against his chest and carried her down the hall to the club room with an excited looking Honey.
"No, You horrible giant let me go! I'll keelhaul ya!" she yelled, she was kicking and screaming all types of things so she could try and get free of his grasp, but he didn't budge. They got inside the club room and he sat her down on a couch in front of Kyoya, Tamaki, the twins, and Ayumi.
"Hey! What are you doin' here Ayumi, You workin' against me?"
"You can call it that." She admitted falsely.
"TRAITOR!" she accused, bolted for the door, but Mori blocked the exit just in time. Katsu pouted and crossed her arms.
"You win this time, Takashi Morinozuka." she warned, and did the 'I'm watching you' finger motion. Mori just smiled slightly at her childish humor. She slumped back onto the couch.
"What do you want, ya gonna silence me? Send me to the dungeons? MAKE ME PRISONER IN SIR PRISS'S CLOSET OF HORROR?"
Tamaki twitched. "My closet is no horror! Leave that out of it, Alright?"
"As you wish, ya priss." Now she was just asking for it.
"Ms. Tsukiori. Please stop being such a pest." Kyoya interjected. "We need to talk. I'm willing to set up a deal with you."
"Pest, I'll showya' a pest you Busy-boy..." she murmured.
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothin', nothin' at all." she snickered." So what's this offer ya got?"
"Well I've done some research."
"AKA some creeping~" she piped in.
"As I was saying...I've done some research, and you pay over $400 a week on your skating career right?"
"What's it to you?"
"Well, our club would be willing to sponsor you a bit and relieve some of the cost; in return we need something of you though." He said.
"And that would be?"
"You keep quiet about Haruhi's secret and serve the food and beverages at the Host Club."
"No way. You're gonna have to give me more than that." Katsu refused.
Kyoya twitched. "Well what else do you want?" He knew he'd regret asking.
"I want Ayumi, and I to be considered full-fledged members of the club, and if we got ideas you can't just toss 'em aside because you don't like us." she grinned. Kyoya sighed irritably. 'This girl is a pain.' He turned to Tamaki for his take on it, he nodded.
"Fine." he said.
"Alright! Then we gotta' deal!" She jumped up on the table.
"Yes! Welcome my new daughters!" Tamaki sprang up and hugged Katsu and Ayumi.
"You're...Choking...us." They coughed out. He quickly let go.
"Sorry, I was just so glad that our family has grown bigger. It feels so good to have more children, isn't it Mommy?" Tamaki turned to look at Kyoya, he just ignored the question.
"A family huh? I hope you can deal with me, I'm the problem child." she warned.
"Oh I'm sure you're not so bad; at least better than those doppelganger twins." Tamaki said.
"Oh I'll show ya how wrong you are...It's what you get for making me join your group of whores."
"Whores? Why we are not whores, so far from it!" Tamaki said.
"Oh? Then what is the ideal behind this 'Host Club'." she said, using air quotes when she said 'Host Club'.
"Alright, let me show you!" Tamaki said. He began to make all these suave hand gestures and movements as he explained.
"Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here, at the elite private school, Ouran Academy. The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also, have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super-rich and beautiful."
"Yeah, sounds more like a group of whores."
Tamaki fell over. "No it isn't!" they all objected.
"Yeah it is. Look at it this way."
Katsu pointed to Kyoya. "He's the Pimp; he runs this place and deals with the money and customers."
She then pointed to Mori. "Mori is the bouncer, he's that strong guy that deals with trouble makers and kicks 'em out, or makes 'em leave if they cause trouble."
Then down to Honey who was eating cake. "Honey is that cute hooker that looks way too young to be stripping. The abused misunderstood one." Honey looked confused at the remark and looked to Mori to ask what it meant. He remained silent.
She moved onto the twins who were giggling at what she was saying about the others."The twins are the two who go as a pair. They're used for incest and threesomes." Veins popped out on their foreheads.
She pointed to Haruhi next. "Haruhi is the typical one who does it for money to pay off college loans or debt or something."
"And you..." she ended with Tamaki. "You're Kyoya's bottom-bitch!" Tamaki gasped. "You're the head hoe, everyone loves you but you're the fakest." Tamaki began to erode away while the twins laughed.
"She's got a point!"
"Yeah, I am only doing this to pay off debt." Haruhi said with a sigh.
"Actually, I think it would be a good idea for a theme! It could even be called "Strip Whosts!" She added.
"No way in hell." Kyoya and Haruhi quickly shot her down.
The twins slithered up to each side of Katsu. "Hey, what you said about threesomes..." They said in unison. They began to lean on her and get close. "We beg to differ."
"Look at yourselves clearly I'm right." she blurted out. She lightly brushed them off and walked over to Ayumi. She crossed her arms, and made a stubborn looking face. After a few moments of silence she broke down at Ayumi's feet.
"Whyy! Why would you betray me and join an alliance of allies with these dirty Hosts! Why Ayumi, WHYYY!"
"Because you made that offer yesterday and got me tangled up with them." she said in an icy tone, for her anyway. Any tone from her generally sounded the same.
"Ohh, I'm sorry!" She was making a crying pitiable face. "Forgive me?" She hugged Ayumi.
"...Fine."
"YAAAYYY!" Katsu jumped up and down. Kyoya decided to interrupt.
"Ladies, you may go home today the host club has been canceled for our discussion, but I expect you to be here right after school, alright?"
"Yes, Busy-boy." Kyoya twitched. "Toldya' you'd regret It." she grinned, skipping out of the room with Ayumi in tow, who looked apologetic to them all for Katsu's insults.
Katsu's P.O.V.
Those damn hosts...
I headed to my last class of the day, History. I liked History, but sometimes the teacher asked way too many questions, about the most obscure things; although that was the least of my annoyances for the day. What I was peeved about was those stupid Hosts, and that damn Busy-boy. I swear he is just annoying. How dare he wrap me up in that unbearable group of misfit heirs! They're so ignorant I swear. How does Haruhi manage to stay calm amongst them all? I'll never know. Sadly, I do need the money if I'm going to get anywhere as a skater...Ugh!
Ring Ring Ring~
Wow, well would ya look at that. School is already over! Swee- Oh, no not sweet, now I have to go to the club room. Someone help me...
Cricket Cricket.
Thanks for the help guys.
I quickly got all my stuff from my locker, wanting to get this over with. I was about to close the locker when I noticed my pink bat. I took it out of my locker, shut my locker then continued to stroll down to the club room. If chaos erupts, I'll have something to defend myself with, and if I go insane...Well, I have a bat.
I kicked open the doors, and immediately ducked to dodge the rose pedals. "Where do those come from anyway?" I looked around to see everyone in kimonos. Tamaki even had his hair in a pony tail, and the twins had girlie clips in their hair. Freakin' tranzies I swear. I made my way over to Ayumi who was on a couch in the back by herself, near the back room kitchen area. I made sure to avoid Tamaki's ramblings about 'so my true feelings may reach your heart' crap, the twins fake crying, and Honey-sempai worrying about his sandal with Haruhi and Mori. I dropped my bag off next to her and stretched my arms.
"Boy whatta day. History was a bore." Ayumi just nodded signaling she heard me.
Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Yersh Kyoya?"
"You have to dress up like everyone else. Hikaru and Kaoru will help you get changed." He motioned to the twins and they took my hands.
"HEY HEY HEY! SLOW DOWN I AIN'T DOIN' NONA THAT! LET GO!" they threw me into the changing room, curtain...Thing! And gave me a bag with my costume in it.
"C'mon, now change! Don't be difficult."
"And what if I am difficult? hm?"
"Then we'll dress you ourselves."
"...I hate you."
"Back at ya.." "Hey hey, let's try to ge-" Fumble Fumble. Slip,
"Wah!" Bam.
"Uh, Are you-"
"-okay in there?" They asked.
"Yeah yeah, just this stupid kimono."
"We wanna see, come out already!" "Alright calm down." I said.
3rd Person P.O.V.
She pulled the curtain and stepped out. She was wearing an ankle length red kimono with nice designs and texture on it. It had gold on the edges of the sleeves and the other ends of the kimono. It had a few embroidered pink roses on it as well. She had normal tan sandals on like all the others and her hair was in a low pony tail.
The twins stared a moment taking in how it didn't really make her look like the annoying outburst-crazed teen she was.
"Don't drool, weirdoes." she barked.
They then realized who it really was standing there in that kimono, then shrugged her off, going back to their table of customers. Katsu headed into the kitchen to get the brewing tea pot and pour a few cups of tea that apparently people wanted. She never liked tea, or coffee. She preferred apple juice or soda. She took the tray of tea and walked back out to the room. She asked who tea it was and Tamaki waved to her. She headed over and started to serve the tea as Tamaki put on his act for pleasing his guests. 'He's cute but god he sounds so fake.' She continued to give customers their tea and went around the other tables and places serving snacks as well.
She walked back to the kitchen to get a cake while she heard Tamaki spewing crap about how Haruhi was so cute and adorable. She made her way back to where a few of Haruhi's guests, and all the Hosts were standing. She just stood there watching with a blank face on. Kyoya was writing in his little black note book.
'Bet you love apples(1)...' Katsu thought.
The twins were yawning and Tamaki was talking about the ability to cry is a sign of manliness or something. That's when Haruhi and Tamaki noticed a girl standing by the entrance to the room. She was half hiding behind the wall. She had the school's yellow dress on, indicating that she was a student, a red bow on the top of her head, orange, or maybe light brown medium length hair, and brown eyes. The other Hosts noticed her when Katsu did. The twins made the first move.
"Well look the Host Club has a brand new guest! Ah!" They seemed to get an idea. They then went over to the door and Kaoru held out a rose to her.
"Come on in, what are you waiting for?" he asked calmly. Hikaru came up next to his brother and held out a rose to her too.
"Watching from afar is no fun." he added.
"Please, Miss." they said leaning in.
Tamaki then came up and butted in. He put on his most gentlemanly airs. "Stop that. How many times do I have to tell you two boys to be more courteous to out first time guests." He held out his hand to her and she stepped back a little. "Please, you don't have to be afraid, my princess." he proceeded to put his finger under her chin to lift up her face. "I welcome you, to the Ouran Host Club."
A vein popped out on Katsu's forehead. 'He does this with every chick doesn't he? What a freakin' player, and I almost thought he wasn't as manipulative as those stupid twins.'
The new girl's bottom lip began to quiver a bit. She remained quiet, it came off as hesitation. Katsu watched as an idea formed in her head. Tamaki waited for her reply. She seemed ready to make her answer finally.
"Yes?" Tamaki whispered. Katsu put the tray of tea down and covered her ears. She then shoved her hand into his face and he yelped while she yelled.
"NO! Don't touch me! You're phony!" Everyone in the club gasped, except for Katsu, she was trying not to giggle.
Tamaki put his hand to his face, appalled. He began to back up as dramatic background music played from nowhere apparent. "Wh-What do you mean I'm phony?" he stammered.
Katsu looked around trying to find where the music was coming from. She noticed Ayumi was holding a CD/radio player. Katsu laughed and gave her a thumb up, Ayumi gave her one back. She was quiet but Ayumi had here funny quirks and moments. 'Gotta love that girl.'
She pointed at him accusingly "Just what I said, You're a phony! I find it hard to believe that someone like you is the prince character of this HOST CLUB!" She explained angrily.
Tamaki backed up again as she continued. "You shouldn't go around spreading you love so carelessly like that you stupid!" an arrow with Stupid on it jabbed into Tamaki's back.
"You must be a dim-witted Narcissist!" another arrow with Narcissist on it jabbed into his chest. "You're Incompetent!" another arrow jabbed into him. "You're a Commoner!" and another.
"You're Disgusting!" and yet another arrow jabbed into Tamaki.
Lightning struck him from nowhere and he began to fall backwards on his back in slow motion. Hikaru and Kaoru were amazed he invented such a technique. Katsu was dying on the floor with laughter.
"Nice job with the lightning effect!" She managed to get out in her fit. Kyoya looked surprised; then adjusted his glasses before he spoke.
"I don't suppose you are-" She cut him off and ran towards him shouting
"It's you! Kyoyaa!" she jumped and hugged him. "Oh how I longed to meet you, my one and only prince charming." Kyoya's eyes widened a little, he wasn't expecting that.
'Oh awesome, she's more of a nutzo than I am...' Katsu commented in her head. 'Wonder what kinda storm she'll brew up. Clearly she won't be leaving any time soon.'
