Hello guys! Am back! I'm really so so sorry for this very late update!

But I was so busy this whole week! I have lots of projects to be made for school! And homework to do too! And attend my coaching classes too. Am really sorry guys!

But now here's the very first chapter! Hope you'll enjoy reading it!

And let me tell you that in this story, there is no Host Club and Haruhi dresses openly as a female. But yet, Tamaki and the twins are on friendly terms due to an incident that happened, which I'll mention in one of the later chapters.

Okay no more dragging. Go ahead and read the first chap.

Happy reading! ;)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ouran High School Host Club.

Ch 1: The Treasured Teddy

It's a pleasant day with a clear sky and the sun shining mildly with the birds sitting on various branches of the trees and chirping merrily…

Fujioka Residence.

A Mercedes drives up at the entrance.

"Honk Honk"

Uhhh…what time is it…? thinks Haruhi to herself. "Oh damn it! It's already this late! Tamaki senpai must be waiting outside."

She pulls up herself from her bed and rushes to the door in her pajamas, to find a tall handsome blond sitting inside the Mercedes, with a set of beautiful violet eyes passionately looking at her, as he jumps out from the car.

"MORNING HA~~~RU~~~HI~~~~~~ !"

"Waaaaah! Tamaki senpai, how many times should I tell you not to scare me like that ?!"

Tamaki, who's not bothered, continues, "Oh my Haruhi! Are you sick? Why is your hair not combed? And your dress?"

"Um, senpai, as you can very well see that I'm awfully late…you go ahead and I'll walk to school. I'd mee—"

"Never Haruhi! Daddy would be waiting for you here. You go, dress up and come. Take your time."

"Thank you senpai, but it would make you late! I wouldn't like to see it."

"Haha! That's okay! I'd simply ask the driver to go through a shortcut I know of. Now go my daughter, go!"

"Uh okay okay am going. You may come inside and wait if you like." Man he's so adamant. And what's with all that daughter stuff?!

"Sure!"

Haruhi goes inside the bathroom as Tamaki sits in the living room and suddenly his eye is caught by an old worn out teddy bear resembling his Kuma-chan, sitting on a cupboard; seeing which strikes a memory in him of a meeting that took place around nine years ago...an extremely important meeting for him…

A small girl with straight short brown hair and big chocolate colored eyes is running on the street in the early hours of morning looking for her home, when she sees a blond kid of about her age looking at her…

"Excuse me. I'm lost. Can you take me back to my home?"

The blond kid, without responding, gives her the teddy bear he had had clutched in his hands. And then runs away.

The girl shouts, "No! Wait! I want to go home! Don't leave me alone, please!"

The kid keeps running and the girl keeps chasing him. Until the girl realizes she's just a block away from her house. She runs to her home to find her dad waiting for her there and runs into his open arms, as tears roll down both hers and her dad's cheeks.

"Haruhi! Where have you been dear? Daddy was so worried about you!"

"I'm sorry dad! I went out to fetch milk from the local booth, when I was lost. Here dad, this boy helped me get back home. And also gave me his teddy bear!" She turns around to look for the kid, but he's nowhere!

"Where? Whom are you talking of Haru?" Ryoji gasps as he sees the young heir of the Suoh Company peeking at them from behind the wall of the next block. His bangs hiding his face, but he could make out a smile on the kid's face.

'Did HE help my precious Haru?!' Ryoji thinks as he takes Haruhi inside.

"Huhhhhh…" sighs Tamaki. "I wonder if Haruhi remembers the incident…But whatever, I'm happy that at least she has kept Kuma-chan safely. Though it is worn out, but that's understandable as it's pretty old."

"What is pretty old senpai?"

"Waaah! You're already here Haruhi?!"

"Well, can't you see me? Now c'mon let's get going. Otherwise we'll be late."

"Y-yes"

Ouran Academy. Class 1-A.

"Hi Haruhi!" Haruhi turns around to see the Hitachiin twins Hikaru and Kaoru as they seat themselves on either side of her.

"Hi guys!"

"So Haruhi, do you know a very important day for milord is nearing?"

"Um, if you mean Tamaki senpai, then I'm not very sure of what you mean."

"Really? That can't be true! You both are childhood friends. You must be remembering!"

"Sorry guys but I really don't know what you're talking of. Now take your textbooks as the class is going to start."

So she really doesn't remember, huh? Is what the twins are thinking as the final bell goes off and the teacher enters.

Fujioka Residence. 4 pm.

Haruhi unlocks the door and goes inside. After keeping her bag down, she runs to the cupboard and lifts the old Kuma-chan and pats it.

"Today's day was good." After which she remembers how she met a bruised Tamaki at the park around nine years ago…

"Hey! Aren't you the one who helped me get back home the other day? Oh my! Your leg! What were you doing?"

"Hello! Never mind that. It's just a little scar. That's all! See, I can move it ver—aah!"

"See, I told you. Here, let me cover it up…I'm Haruhi Fujioka." She smiles, as she tears her handkerchief into two.

"You?"

"I'm Tamaki Suoh." Replies Tamaki with an ear to ear smile and blushing a bit. "And thank you very much for that!"

"No problem! Oh! Aren't you the heir of the Suoh Legacy?"

"Haaaaaa! I didn't know that I was this popular! Haaaaa~~~~"

"U-um" What a weird person…

As Haruhi finishes putting a final knot with her kerchief on the wound, "Okay, I have to go shopping at the local grocery store. B'bye! See ya later!"

"Huh? You're leaving so soon? Can't we play a little longer?"

"Hehe! I'd love to play with you, but not now. Bye!"

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

"Hm?"

Tamaki blushes as he pulls a kerchief from his own pocket. "Here, have this."

Haruhi gazes at him. "Buy why?"

Tamaki couldn't help but smile. "Because you helped me! And your kerchief is now dirty because of me. Till next time!"

Little Tamaki runs away as he hears somebody shout out to him from behind.

"Sayonara~~~!"

Hahaha! Tamaki senpai was really cute, especially when he blushed. Uh, but his stubbornness traces back to his childhood.

Haruhi smiles to herself and gets back to her work.
