Chapter 1: The Mysterious Merit Scholar
The Third Music Room:
"HA-RU-HI!" Tamaki screams holding his arms wide like the blond idiot he is, the Host king tries to flying tackle his cute kohai. Haruhi swiftly side steps, causing Tamaki to crash straight into the wall.
Haruhi proceeds to her station and sets her bag down. Meanwhile Tamaki curls himself into a ball and mumbles ``My daughter doesn't love her daddy anymore.""where did i go wrong?" Basking in his corner of woe. Haruhi sighs and says "Knock it off senpai" then grumbles her to herself "Geez. When will he ever learn?". She then goes off to talk to Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai. Who as usual are surrounded by mounds of cakes and sweets. After their standard greetings,the cousins quickly proceed to fill her in on what she missed so far as well as the latest gossip circling the halls.
" Haru-Chan!" Mitsukuni starts hugging usa-chan to his chest. "Did you know we're getting a new scholarship student?"
"Really, huh." Haruhi replies, nodding her head at the idea while sipping her tea.
"Uh-huh.' Honey continues flowers appearing in the background. "I heard she's a merit scholar too and that she passed the entrance exam with flying colors"
"That's great Honey-senpai. I can't wait to meet her" Suddenly the twins saddle up behind Haruhi with matching grins.
"Is that so…." Hikaru drawls, wrapping his arm around Haruhi's shoulders.
"Yeah, Haruhi" Kaoru continues wrapping his arm on Haruhi's other side, "you sure about letting some commoner steal your thunder as Ouran's special student."
"First off, I'm also a commoner." Haruhi points out, shrugging off the twins arms and remarks. "plus I don't really mind her stealing my thunder so to speak. I'm just glad someone with common sense will be going here too."
At this the King of zero-common sense starts to speak. "Ah yes! The good-old commoner sense and ingenuity. It would be quite refreshing to have another commoner around." Tamaki continues entering his mind theater, " A willing subject to educate on the ways of the rich and beautiful." He then proceeds to imagine a young girl in silhouette bowing gracefully at his benevolence. A castle and royal retinue in the background. Squirming like a red eel in real life he gushes. "We must have her visit the host club I insist."
"Seriously, Tamaki-senpai knock it off." Haruhi sighs, shaking her head at his shenanigans.(She does that a lot huh) "I seriously don't think she's anything like you're imagining her to be. Besides she'd probably be too busy studying, what with the whole remaining top off the class requirement."
At this Kyoya enters the frame his ever present notebook in his hands "While normally that may be the case. A merit scholarship is quite different altogether; instead of simply good grades the student gets based on a recommendation letter from one of the School's patrons and must showcase a special skill that merits attention. They are also not affected by the no working rule and have leeway to skip classes depending on the circumstances."
"Wah! That's so cool" Honey exclaims, imagining the scenario. Mori standing beside him nods his head imagining the situation.
"Yeah" Hikaru agrees, "if we knew we could skip classes we would have applied for the scholarship as well."
"Think off all the pranks we could have come up with, with all that free time." Kaoru adds, thinking of ways to mess with Tono. The Host King wouldn't survive the devil twins having even more free time to scheme. Said King gives a full body shudder at the thought.
As the group drifts into their musing Kyoya clears his throat. "Anyways, I expect you all to be on your best behavior, tomorrow. Can't have you scaring her away."
"What's her name, Kyoya-senpai?" Haruhi asks, wondering about the commotion that was sure to come tomorrow.
Kyoya adjusting his glasses answers "Class 2-A's Kyoko Mogami. Special Talent from L.M.E"
*Authors note: DUN DUN DUN So yeah, there you have it. I've seen some fics like this before but they're never completed .. Anyway I decide to have a go at it instead. This fic will mostly follow Skip Beat's Linear Timeline with certain Ouran episodes mixed and matched accordingly. The Hosts have already had one term behind them plus summer vacation. Kyoko arrives at the start of Second Term after passing the entrance exam. The reason why she's in her second year is because I can't imagine anyone but Hizuri Kuu as her honorary father figure. Plus her calling Tamaki senpai was just too weird. So yeah she's classmates with them instead. This is my first time posting a fic so feel free to review. :)
