Hello Readers! Welcome to day on of the Host Club's Circus! I hope you enjoy this chapter with a special appearance by a certain someone who all you fans of Ouran High school host club should recongize!

But before you read this chapter, I'd like to thank FugimotoYuuki for following and favoriting my story.

Now sit back, relax, and grab some popcorn because day one of the circus is about to begin!

"A circus! A circus! We're gonna be part of a circus!" Aika sang as we made our way to the host club courtesy of the metro.

"Would you shut up!" Chizura hissed,covering her ears.

"But I can't wait to be a part of the hosts club's circus!" She whined.

"And we can't wait for a bit of peace and quiet," Yoite snapped.

"You're a big meanie!" Aika accused, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Stop yelling at each other, we're in public!" Tadashi hissed, glaring at all three. I looked up from my book, rolled my eyes, and returned my attention back to my book.

"Circ, circ, circus! Circ, circ, circus! Circ, Circ, Circus!" Sotaru chanted while climbing from empty seat to empty seat.

"Sit down Sotaru," I said without looking up from my book.

"Nuh-uh," he said, shaking his head 'no.'

"Sotaru, sit down. There are other people on this train who want to sit down," Tadashi scolded.

There was peace and quiet for a moment, then Sotaru snatched my reading glasses off my face and said, "ello, ello."

"Sotaru! Give me my glasses back!" I commanded as I put my book down and lunged for the fleeing Sotaru. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and reeled him in, carefully peeling his fingers off my glasses so he wouldn't break them. "See what you did? You smudged my glasses! Now I can't use them!" Sotaru just gave me a funny grin and I scowled at him.

"Can't you guys be quiet?" Yoite asked irritated. "We're already at our stop so please, shut up!"

As he said this, the train pulled to a stop and we got off. Then we finally arrived at Ouran and as we were approaching music room three, I said to Tadashi with a sigh, "The host club hasn't even opened yet and I'm already exhausted."

"Me too, I hope being with those guys gives me some energy." Tadshi replied

"Don't hold your breath," Yoite said dryly.

"We're here," we said as we entered the club room.

"Whoa, this is kind of cool," Chizura said as we all looked around the room.

"It definitely looks like a circus in here," I remarked as I noted the strips of colorful fabric draped from the ceiling and tacked against the walls. On one side of the room there were stalls set up with peanuts, cotton candy, and other food you'd find at a circus while on the other side there was a ring set up on the floor surrounded by bleachers that looked more like movie theater seats than anything else.

"I'm guessing their philosophy is go big or go home," Yoite commented.

"You're right, my friend!" Tamaki said as he came out of the back. "I'm very proud with how it all turned out. Very authentic, no?"

"It looks like a real circus, Tamaki," Sotaru said.

"You really out did yourself this time," Tadashi said, slapping Tamaki on the back.

"Hey, Tamaki, what are you?" Aika asked, running up to him.

"Guess!" Tamaki said as he picked her up. Tamaki was wearing white pants, light brown boots, a white dress shirt, a red tailcoat with the belt, buttons, and tassels accented in gold. He also had white gloves, a red top hat with a gold band around it, and a rope whip hanging from his belt.

"He's an idiot," Chizura whispered to Yoite who snickered.

"Are you a lion tamer?" Aika asked with wide eyes.

"You got it!" Tamaki exclaimed in delight.

"Wow!" Aika said, awed. "Lion tamers are my favorite."

"What do you think of clowns?" Hunny asked as he cartwheeled into the room.

"Clowns are my favorite!" Sotaru said as he ran up to Hunny who was wearing a clown costume that was half striped and half Polk-a-dotted with a ruffly collar, red over sized red clown shoes, a squirting flower, and a rainbow afro.

Then Mori came out behind him and I stared when I saw him in a checked and Polk-a-dot clown costume with red over sized shoes, a green and yellow curly wig, and a big red nose. When I saw Mori in that garb I burst out laughing, collapsing on the floor as I laughed. "Look, Takashi! We haven't even told a joke yet and the audience is already laughing!" Hunny said happily.

"What's so funny?" Tamaki asked me.

"It's Mori, I never thought you would make him a clown! It just doesn't work for him, he looks ridiculous!" I laughed.

"What would you have made him?" Tamaki asked.

"A strong man or something like that. Really, any thing but a clown."

"You just want Mori to be a strong man so you can see him without his shirt on," the Hitachiin twins accused, having just come out of the back.

"What? No! It's just that a strong man works with his image better. I don't care if he has a shirt on or not..." I trailed off as a mental image of a shirtless Mori turned my cheeks red.

Everyone laughed and the Hitachiin twins said, "ha! The bookworm is an open book!"

"Shut up!" I mumbled as I glared at the twins who were dressed up as Magicians. They had black dress pants, a dark purple dress shirt, a black tie, and a black tailcoat. The Hitachiins also had black capes with dark purple lining, black top hats with a dark purple band, dark purple gloves, a purple flower in their tailcoat's dress pocket, and a magician's wand in hand.

"A strong man, huh? I'll make note of that." I gave a sideways glance towards the speaker, Kyoya, who was dressed as the ringmaster. Kyoya was also wearing black dress band and a tailcoat along with a white dress shirt, a dark blue tie, a black top hat with a dark blue band, a black cape with dark blue lining, and white gloves; in his hand, he was also carrying a straight black cane.

"Looking snazzy," Tadashi said, knocking his fist playfully against Kyoya.

"Thank you," Kyoya said with a push of his glasses.

"Hey guys, instead of chatting shouldn't they be changing?" Haruhi asked as she entered the room.

"Hey Haruhi, what are you?" Aika asked excitedly as she observed Harruhi's puffy bright yellow pirate shirt (minus the deep slit), with a dark purple cloth belt, brown pirate pants (by pirate pants I mean baggy pants gathered around the ankle) and boots.

"I'm a hula-Hooper," she said, holding up a light-up hula-hoop.

"Cool!" Aika replied.

"Ahem," Kyoya said, getting everybody's attention. "Haruhi's right, you Nakahara siblings need to change. Your costumes are in the back with your names on them."

We all headed to the back and quickly changed. Aika was a hula-Hooper like Haruhi and had a neon pink sleeveless dress with an orange sash and lining, a ruffly skirt with sequins, and orange gloves with pink sequin flowers.

Sotaru was a clown with an orange, green, and yellow wig, a striped and diamond pattern clown suit, red over sized clown shoes, and a squirting flower.

Chizura was a tightrope walker and she wore a white lacy leotard, a short black ruffled tulle skirt layered with white lace, and black and white over-the-elbow gloves. She also had a black and white flower in her hair and she carried a black and white parasol for balance.

Yoite was a plate spinner and he wore a white pirate shirt with a neon green fabric belt, black pirate pants and boots, and ripped black finger-less gloves with neon green lining.

Tadashi's a juggler since he can actually juggle, and he has a turquoise sequined Arabian vest, a matching fabric belt, dark brown pirate pants and boots.

Lastly, I'm a tumbler/hula-Hooper and I'm wearing orangey-pink puffed silk pirate pants with a sequin waist band in orange and black. There's a matching cropped top with sequins around the collar and straps that go over the shoulder, there are also sleeves that hang below the shoulder. (think Arabian dancer with a bit more coverage)

"Alright, it's opening time, places everyone!" Tamaki declared as he took up his position in front of the door.

"Coming!" The rest of us said as we ran to our places, poising as the doors opened. "Welcome to the Host Club's Circus!" We declared as the doors opened and the girls' eyes widened with awe and delight.

Circus music filled the room and made for a gay atmosphere. All the girls were smiling and fawning over the boys, some were even fawning over us girls and our costumes as we handed out popcorn, cotton candy, and other circus food.

"Hey, what's with the stands?" One of the girls asked as I scooped some ice cream for her.

I glanced around at the other guests and host then beckoned for the girl to lean in. "You didn't hear this from me but tomorrow we're going to perform for you girls."

"Really?!" The girl asked, her voice rising in excitement.

"Ssshhhh! remember, this is our little secret, okay?"

"Okay!" The girl said happily as she left.

"Reiko, you didn't just tell her about the surprise now, did you?" Kyoya asked with a chilling smile and voice that gave me goose bumps.

"W-what are you talking about?" I asked with a fake smile as I avoided eye contact.

"Reiko," Kyoya said, firmly gripping my shoulder with one hand while forcing my chin up with the other. "Hasn't anyone told you that lying is bad?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," I said hotly despite the fact that I was trembling internally.

Kyoya just gave me a smirk before whispering in my ear, "Don't worry, I'll find a way for you to make this up." As Kyoya released me and walked away I shivered.

What the heck is he planning! He's a scary conniving little fox! I thought as I put my hand to my chest and walked away.

"You look troubled, would you like to have your fortune told?" A creepy, crawling voice said from behind me.

"Aaahhh!" I jumped when I saw a guy with black hair, a black hooded cape that covered his eyes, and a cat puppet in front of me. "Who-who are you?"

"This is Nekozawa from the black magic club! I invited him here to perform authentic fortune telling!" Tamaki said, magically appearing at my side.

"Yes, and I'd like to tell yours. It's simple, all you have to do is drink a cup of tea and turn the cup over," he said with a creepy, scratchy cackle.

"S-sure," I said hesitantly, officially creeped by this Nekozawa person. I quickly drank the tea and turned the cup upside down.

Nekozawa picked it up and gave another creepy laugh, "this says you're beginning to experience love and that something dark is creeping into your future. Oh, truly wonderful!"

"O-kay, thanks!" I said, hastily leaving with one word floating through my head, weird!
