There was a Ranma 1/2 x Ouran High School Host Club story chapter in Ten Faced Paladin's anthology, Dreams of Ten Faced Paladin. After reading it and much thought of it, I feel like reading a few scenes.


Wild Side of the Host Club.

Ranma was walking through the halls heading his way to the Music Room 3 where the Host Club is, after joining it he better be on his toes when talking to girls and hopefully he won't sticking his foot in his mouth. Also, after finding out that Miyuki girl was a client and she resqueted an appointment with him, he has better to treat her nicely otherwise he won't get over his wariness towards girls.

He just hope that Akane doesn't find out about him joining a club that's all about flirting with girls, he'll get mallet. But Ranma on the other hand, as the guys in the host club explained, he's completely natural and all the girls wanted is a little company. He just hope he knows what he's doing.

He stops as he arrives in front of the door, gripping the door handle he opens it. As he did so rose petals were everywhere and coming out, Ranma could have swore he didn't saw those when he first came by but leaving that behind he enters. There inside, in the middle of the room were the host club members siting on a couch.

"Welcome."

"'Sup guys." Ranma greeted them in his usual casual way, he close the door behind.

"Oh, it's you Ranma." Hikaru said.

"We though you were a guest, so we positioned ourselves." Kaoru said.

"Glad to see you arrived right on time, Ranma." Kyoya smiled. "You were a little bit late and we're just about to open our doors to our customers."

Ranma rubs the back of his neck. "Well to be honest, I never join any clubs before so I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it on time."

"Now, now, your still new." Tamaki said. "You just needs a bit more time to be able to get used to our routines."

Ranma blinked, "Uhh, if you say so." This guy is very reasonable.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So how are you been, Miyuki?" Ranma asked.

"Oh, I've been fine." Miyuki blushed.

"Glad to hear." Ranma smiled, Miyuki was becoming entrance by his aura of friendliness again.

Nearby the Hitachin brothers were observing their new member, again they were impressed by his natural skill on interact with the guest.

"Even though he said he's hopeless with girls he seem pretty good at it." Kaoru grinned.

"Yeah, maybe he was exaggerating." Hikaru agreed.


"Ranma... your a girl?" Tamaki asked.

Ranma knew that she was in a pinch, with her curse revealed there's no way to denied it now. The cat is out of the bag. She signed as she confess, "It's a curse."

"A curse?" Tamaki and the Hitachin twins (who seemed to leap into the conversation from out of nowhere) asked.

She then begin telling the Host Club about her curse, how she get and the history of Jusenkyo and the consequences. They were awstruck by the revealation of a cursed even some of them didn't believed it but couldn't denied it since Ranma got turn into a girl right in front of them, she even turn back into a he before demonstrate the curse and transformed again which caused Tamaki to gaped in shocked.

"And so every time I got splashed by cold water I turned into a girl." Ranma signed after finished explained.

The Host Club members were stared at him like he's some kind of alien which worries him. Here they are, a group of boys who he befriend them knows about his curse, they're probably think that he is a freak and they probably don't want him in the club anymore.

"If that 'Jujengyo' is that dangerous." Kaoru said.

"Then why did you go there?" Hikaru asked.

"Not my idea. My stupide old man doesn't know a single Chinese." Ranma said, "And second; it's Jusenkyo."

"Ooooh, that explains it." The Hitachin brothers said.

"Yes, of course," Kyoya gestured his glasses. "If I recall, from the information I picked, judging by your father's criminal record most of them were all made from his stupidity and ignorance."

"Is it true Ran-chan? Your dad is stupide?" Hunny asked.

"Yep," Ranma answered. "If you ever meet him you'll know immediately that he's stupide, and an idiot."

"Even so..." Kaoru spoke, learning on Ranma's left shoulder. "The though of you turning into a girl."

"Then turn back into a guy." Hikaru said, leaning on Ranma's right.

Then the next thing the twins did was Hikaru holding a glasse of water before splashing to Ranma turning him into a girl and Kaoru holding another glass of steaming water before splashing 'her' turning back into a guy.

"It's pretty neat." The twins grinned at the same time before they repeat the cold-hot splasing water.

"You two stop it this instant!" Tamaki snapped after recovered his shocked. "Instead of playing Ranma's curse, we should try and keep his secrets from the whole school!"

All members lay eyes to the blond president, especially Ranma, he was a little surpris by his declaration on keeping his secret that quickly.

"If anybody of this school knows about it they'll see Ranma a different way!" Tamaki cried out. "Think about it, they may see as a freak or worst calling him a hermaphroditism!"

Ranma blinked, never heard of that word. "A herma-what?"

Hikaru began to explain. "It's like this. You're a guy."

Kaoru continue with the explanation. "But at a same time you also possess girls'-" But he never had a chance to finsih as Tamaki cut them off.

"This story isn't M rated so don't explain!" Tamaki cried out.

"Although you are right on that, if people finds out about Ranma's curse it will creat a scandale." Kyoya had to agreed on that.

"Then we must prevent it! We must protect Ranma's secret at all cost!" Tamaki declared dashing to Ranma gripping his shoulder.

"Yes sir." The Hitachin brothers saluted.

"I won't tell even if they give me 20 cakes!" Hunny exclaimed with Mori nodded in silent.

"We may not gain any benefit if one of our members is part girl, so for the club I won't tell a single information about it." Kyoya nodded.

Ranma stares at the Host Club members, here they are the boys who he only meet and befriends with, were determined and willing to keep Ranma's curse in secret from anyone. But ever since everyone in Furinkan discovered his secret none of the students called him names or insults so he was okay and used that they know they're secret, but that was Furinkan and this is Ouran. But still, for these guys to go so far on keeping his secret despite only know them for two days, that's rather cool of them.


"But who could have though that the honor student is homo..." Tamaki though out loud.

"H-homo?" Haruhi muttered.

"What is your preference?" Tamaki asked, beginning the Host club members.

"The Wild Type?" Referred to Mori.

"The Boy Lolita Type?" To Hunny.

"The Little Devil Type?" To the Hitachin Twins.

"The Cool Type?" To Kyoya.

"The Home-Grown Type?" Lastly to Ranma.

Ranma had a deadpanned face when Tamaki mention him, just the though on talking with a guy sounded too creepy, he may be making friends but he doubt he could talk with a guy the same way he did with the girls, even though he was just being friendly them. And besides that honor student looks like he isn't interesting and didn't know that this music room was occupied.

"I-it's not like that! I was just looking for a quiet place where I could study." Haruhi shuttered tried to back away.

"Or maybe... you'd like to try me?" Tamaki asked stroked Haruhi's chin. "How about it?"

Haruhi freaks out before 'he' knocks out a vase. 'He' was trying to catch it but failed as it hits the floor shattered. Haruhi has fears on 'his' face staring at the shattered pieces.

The Host Club saw the accident as Ranma grimaced, that vase looks really expensive that if his father took a look of it he'll snatch it and pawn it.

"Yikes." Ranma grimaced at the accident he saw, he turned to Kyoya. "It's that vase really expensive?"

"Yes. We were planned to start bidding the Renaissance vase at the school vase for 8 million yen." Kyoya said causing Ranma's eyes to bulged like they were gonna pop out.

"8 million yen!?" Haruhi gasped after overheard, 'he' start counting with 'his' fingers. "How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in 8 million?" 'He' turned to them as 'he' ask. "Um, can I pay you back?

"Could you even?" The twins replied. "You can't even afford the designated uniform."

"What will it be, Tamaki?" Kyoya asked holding a shattered piece.

"Have you ever heard this saying, Fujioka?" Tamaki sat down on the chair, he points. "'When in Rome, do as the Romans do!'. If you have no money, then pay with your body." He said.

Ranma deadpanned stare at the president, "That sounded pretty perverted what you just said." He said. Although, he was a bit surprised to see him with sudden change of attitude.

"Yeah, your right." Hikaru agreed.

"That does sounded perverted." Kaoru nodded.

Tamaki ignores their comments as he continued. "Starting today, you are the Host Club's dog!" He declared

Haruhi pales in shocked at the declaration, 'he' had to become their dog in order to pay off the debt. The Host Club gathered around as Tamaki wave his hand to see any reaction, the Hitachin Twins gotten closer to look and Hunny pokes twice before making 'him' fallen as 'he' faint, luckily Ranma caught 'him' right on time.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ranma saw that Haruhi came back from 'his' errand with a paper brown bag, needless to say he can't blame him after all it was an accident and now he has to work until 'his' 8 million yen debt it's paid off. As Tamaki called out by calling 'him' a piglet, Haruhi present him a jar of instant coffee and not to long many girls came to Tamaki as well as Kyoya and the Hitachin Twins. They seem to be talking about the quality of the coffee.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Asking Miyuki.

"Should we go and find out?" Asking Miyuki's friend.

Ranma just shrugged, "Sure."

They walk towards the group, as they arrived Ranma ask, "Hey, what's going on?"

"Oh, well Fujioka just brought an instant coffee." A girl claimed.

"Instant?" Miyuki titled her head.

"It's a commoner's coffee, where you only have to add hot water." Answered another girl.

"Oh, I've heard of this. So it's true about poor people not having any free time, so they can't even grind their own beans, huh?" Miyuki's friend asked.

"It says that 100g costs 300 yen. That's an incredible price drop." A third girl said earning gasped from Miyuki and her friend.

Ranma, on the other hand was staring them with disbelief in his eyes. Do these people know nothing about instant coffee?

"Hey Ranma, do you know about this?" Hikaru asked.

"Course, I know it." Ranma answered, he may not live the same life style as these students have but he had knowledge commoners' life style. "Not everyone could grinde their own coffee beans, so it's the fastest way to just adding hot water."

"Oh! As we expect from someone who lived among the commoners." Kaoru commented earning nods from everyone except for one.

"So, coffee is coffee. Even if it's already grinded, I don't see the differences." Ranma said.

"I'll go buy something else. Excuse me for not getting expensive beans." Haruhi said getting annoyed.

"No, wait!" Tamaki raise a hand earning everyone's attention. He rose up, "Just like what Ranma said, coffee is coffee. I'll drink this." He said earning gaspes from everyone. "I'll drink this, all right!"

This caused everyone to clapping hands at Tamaki's declaration with only Ranma, Haruhi and the reddish-brown haired girl stayed in silent. Ranma had a deadpanned expression to the President's idiotic.


The dance party went well as the Host Club has set up the last dance for Kanako Kasugazaki dancing with her fiancé, Toru Suzushima, as everyone watching them. They have fullfilled their mission on making Kanako happy.

Ranma watch them dancing remembered Tamaki's words, 'The Host club exists in order to bring happiness to the girls, huh?'

As Kanako and Toru dance, the boy confess, "I love you. I've always loved you. I'm proposing to you once again." These made Kanako moved as she smiled.

"Wow... Proposed right in front of all these people watching them." Ranma said. "Gotta give him credit to have guts to do so." He's also envied, if he could be able to propose to Akane without feeling embarrssing or without anyone watching him, maybe if he has enough guts he might be able to do it... He shake that thought. 'What am I thinking...?!'

"But of course, when you loved someone so much you ignored everything around you and focuse the one thing you cheerish." Tamaki said before raising his arms. "May this awkward couple be blessed!"

"Tonight's dance queen..." Hikaru announced with the microphone.

"...is hereby declared to be Princess Kanako Kasugazaki." Kaoru declared with also a microphone.

Everyone cheered and clapped for Kanako without any of them being disappointed for not winning.

"Now then, the blessed kiss from the king..." Hikaru announced.

"I'm on." Tamaki said with confident.

"... has been switched to Ranma Saotome!" Kaoru declared.

This caused Ranma and Tamaki to gaped in shocked. "Hey!" The blond complained.

"I didn't agreed on this!" Ranma snapped.


"Did someone said curse?" A creepy voice was heard.

Tamaki turns his head to see a dark figure behind him which freaks him out. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He jumps as he land and hiding behind one of the couches.

The dark figure reveals to be someone wearing a dark cloak that covers every itche of his body and a hood covered his head leaving his face visible with black hair that covers his eyes. He also has a strange puppet that looks a bit like a cat on his left hand.

"I have many curses in stock for everyone." The person said in a creepy tone.

Ranma blinked, "Who the heck is that guy?" He asked.

"That's Umehito Nekozawa-sempai. He is a 3rd-year student here in Ouran." Kyoya responded. "He is the president of a lest populated club know as Black Magic Club."

"Black Magic?" Ranma repeated.

"Meaning that Nekozawa-sempai offers many black magic stuff..." Kaoru leaning on his right shoulder.

"But none of them were a success, and no one wants to join that club." Hikaru finished leaning on his left shoulder.

Ranma looks at Nekozawa, he had to admitted that he does look loke someone from a Black Magic group. He silently prayed that those black magic stuff the twins were talking about aren't true, he just don't want to deal with magic again.

Nekozawa got closer to Ranma as he looks at him. "You are Ranma Saotome, the grandson of Tekkai Kurenai, correct?"

"Yeah." Ranma nodded not infected by Nekozawa's creepiness.

"I was one of the many clubs who offered you a room to our club, but unfortunately you have choosing this one." Nekozawa said.

Ranma blinked, he recalled on his first day of school and how Chitose brought many papers of clubs of his choice, he didn't feel like checking all of them so he just took the first paper and choose the Host Club instead. Thought, is Nekozawa tries to convince him to join his club due to him being related to his well knowed grandfather?

"Is that so? Well, sorry I didn't get the chance on checking all the clubs on the list they gave me." Ranma said scratching his pigtail.

"That is quite alright. It was bound to happen." Nekozawa said without any hint of disappointment in his creepy voices. "Anyway, if you all need curses the Black Magic Club offers these Cursed Talismans." Nekozawa produced a set of rectangular blank papers.

"Write a person's name on one of these talismans and that person will live a life of misfortune." He explained as he handed down one talisman for each.

Ranma examine the talisman, with his experience with magic he knew he shouldn't mess with something like this, it may backfire if that's possible. Then Nekozawa got close to him again. "If you have anyone you see as a enemy use that talisman to cast a curse on them." He then walks away before went to the door as he left.


"So Ranma, can you tell which one is Hikaru?" The Hitachin brothers asked grinned with their hats on.

"Oh come on, I already have a hard time on telling you guys apart." Ranma said.

"Well, take a shot."

"And we'll see."

Ranma stares at the twins, telling them apart is very difficult for him, he still hasn't used to tell them apart, the only thing that's telling them apart was their hair style with Hikaru's to the left and Kaoru's to the right but now with the hats on he can't even tell. Pink and Link are twins but at least the two of them wore chestplate with different words and accesories, that he could tell them apart.

He then points at one of them, "The one on the left is Kaoru and the right is Hikaru."

"Bzzt, wrong!" They said.

Ranma's eyes narrowed, he knew he couldn't tell them apart if they wore their hats on. They really enjoy making people confused, that is until he figured out something. He turn to the twins, "Wait a minute. I was right, was I?"

"No, not really." The twins said.

"Don't try to fool me, you two. I know you guys long enough to know that you two loved to pull pranks, all the time." Ranma said said smirked with cross arms. "Either I might be wrong, or I got it right."

"Maybe, maybe not." The twins said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Oh come on, has anyone could tell you two apart?" Ranma asked. "I mean, it must be a pain for you two to be mistaken for one another."

The twins stops their tracks as they stare at Ranma's back, his words sink into their minds. As long as they could remember, many people mistaken them for one another and tried to see if there's anyone around who could tell apart, but unfortunately it only pains them more and they stay away from anyone who tried to interact with them. Created their own world with just the two of them without anyone, even created a game on which one is Hikaru to see if anyone could tell them apart but unfortunately no one had succed but that is until...

Ranma finally took noticed as he saw them standing at the hall, he wonder if he said something wrong. "Hey. What wrong you two?"

Both twins snapped from their thoughts as they respond. "No, nothing." They then run passed Ranma.

"Come on, Ranma!"

"You don't hurrying up..."

"You're gonna get it!" The twins declared.

...Ranma got it right, but they didn't want to admit it.


"Not sure what happen here, but they seem okay." Hikaru said poking an unconscious soldier.

"Well, Hunny-sempai was the one who did this, right? Then he must have been holding back." Kaoru reply also poking.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Haruhi asked pinching Tamaki's hand.

"Huh?" Hikaru asked.

"You don't know?" Kaoru asked. "The Haninozukas have been famous for their martial arts for generations. They've instructed not just the police and SDF, but overseas military forces, as well." He explained.

"In particurlary, Hunny-sempai has been called the dreadnaught of the Haninozuka family, for as long as it's been around, and by the time he was in middle school, he was the national champion in both karate and judo." Kyoya explained.

"Not sure what happen here, but they seem okay." Hikaru said poking an unconscious soldier.

"Well, Hunny-sempai was the one who did this, right? Then he must have been holding back." Kaoru reply also poking.

"Huh?" Hikaru asked.

"In particurlary, Hunny-sempai has been called the dreadnaught of the Haninozuka family, for as long as it's been around, and by the time he was in middle school, he was the national champion in both karate and judo." Kyoya explained

"No way," Ranma blinked. "You mean to tell me that he's a martial artist all this time?" How did he miss that? If Hunny was able to handely defeated all those soldiers then he must be a skillfull martial artist if he was able to won the national.

"Incidentally, Mori-sempai also became the national champion in kendo, when he was in middle school." Tamaki explained.

Ranma blinked, "Mori-sempai is a kendoist champion?" He wondered if Mori could defeat Kuno in a match.


And that's about it, this is all I could do and I don't feel like writing more.
