Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters from the manga but I do own the one that I created.
AN: Okay just to answer a few more questions that were posed from my awesome reviewers. I know how the classes at Ouran work so don't worry its all part of the master plan.
Chapter Two
Uniforms and Payback Planning
Saelyun woke up the following morning in her new bed, having had the best night's sleep since she could remember. Stretching out a bit she fell into her usual morning routine of showering, teeth brushing and yoga. Now she wasn't a morning person by far, but back at home she had learned fast that if she got all this out of the way early then she could be out of the house before Samantha or her children were even up.
It was during one of her yoga poses that she realized something very crucial to today's planned event. 'What am I going to wear?'
A loud and very energetic knock sounded from Haruhi's front door. Looking at her watch she wonder who would be calling on her this early in the morning. Even the twins wouldn't get here for another hour at least.
'Well I had better answer it before they break down my door.' Haruhi relented as she headed to the door where the knocking had increased in both volume and frequency.
"One second!" Haruhi yelled at the person who was about to break down her door. Opening the door she was greeted by a completely out of breath and frazzled looking Saelyun.
"Saelyun is something wrong?" Haruhi asked worriedly.
"I…have…nothing…to…wear." Saelyun managed to get out between her panting. Haruhi's eyebrows rose as she moved aside to let Saelyun enter into her house.
"Do you not have a school uniform?" Haruhi asked, closing the front door and making her way to her room with Saelyun in tow.
"Does it come in the form of a puffy yellow dress?" Saelyun muttered.
"Yes. That would be the standard female uniform for Ouran." Haruhi confirmed.
"Well then yes I do but it would seem that the person that ordered the dresses for me had the wrong measurements, so none of them fit me properly." Saelyun groaned.
'Another one of Samantha's plots executed to try and create problems in my life.' Saelyun grimaced as she recalled trying to put on the dress. She had concluded this was her new uniform since there were multiples of them already hanging in her closet when she got there.
She ended up looking like a cream puff explosion of badly layered material and a poorly tailored trim. Not to mention it was a bout 4 sizes' to big for her.
Haruhi smiled. "Seamstress probably missed something in the translation." Haruhi suggested. Saelyun chuckled a little to herself. 'If only I could tell her the truth.'
"Well I guess that we will have to improvise." Haruhi declared heading into her own closet. She knew that they would be in here somewhere. 'Saelyun is about 2 sizes' bigger then I am so they should fit her perfectly.' Haruhi continued to dig into the back of her closet until she finally surfaced with a large box in her hands.
"A friend of mine had these made for me when he decided that my current uniform was too tight." Haruhi explained as she handed the box over to Saelyun. The box contained multiple Ouran blue blazers, shirts, gym clothes and tailored black pants.
'But these must be the boy's uniforms.' Saelyun thought. Now she as really confused about Haruhi's gender.
"Haruhi, why would someone have a boy's uniforms made for you if they thought your originals were too tight?" Saelyun asked politely, not sure how to address the situation.
"Well I guess I should tell you about my first week at Ouran since you already know I'm a girl. I don't want you getting confused at school." Haruhi said.
Saelyun raised an eyebrow but nodded at Haruhi to begin with her story. Haruhi revealed her story from when she first met the Host Club up until the present time. As Saelyun tried on the clothes that Haruhi had given her she asked questions here and there, listening intently to this almost unbelievable tale. At the same time thinking that these rich kids at Ouran had way to much time on their hands. At the end of her story Haruhi shrugged her shoulders, glad that someone other then the hosts and her father new her secret.
"Wow. I guess that's one way to meet guys." Saelyun chided. The whole thing was absurd to her, but at the same time peaked her interest greatly.
"I guess one could see it that way." Haruhi giggled back. "How do the clothes fit?"
"Well the shirts and blazers fit great, as do the gym clothes, though the shorts are a little tight. But the pants won't fit, my butt is a little bigger then yours!" Saelyun teased. Haruhi grinned at her new friend.
"Well I'm glad that you can get some use out of them. I hated thinking they would just rot away to moths." Haruhi confessed.
"I'm glad you had them, otherwise someone my have tried to harpoon me thinking I was an escaped oversized chicken mutant if I had to wear that dress!" Saelyun joked. Haruhi choked on her laughter at the mental image she conjured.
"Okay, now that I have almost committed murder by laughter I'm going to go back to my place and get dressed." Saelyun told Haruhi as she put on the pajamas that she had worn there.
"Wait! How were you planning on getting to school?" Haruhi inquired.
"Um…I had planned on walking there if it wasn't too far." Saelyun replied as she gathered up the clothes from Haruhi.
"Well why don't you catch a ride with me? I can introduce you to two of the host club members and classmates at the same time." Haruhi offered. Saelyun pondered over the offer for a moment.
"I would love to if you are sure they will have enough for me and my butt." Saelyun jibbed. Haruhi assured her that there would be more then enough room for her and the junk in her trunk, as Haruhi affectionately called it.
Back in her own apartment Saelyun went through the clothes that she had unpacked yesterday with Haruhi's help. Finding the tasteful black skirt that she was looking for, she changed into her uniform.
She tied her back in a high pony tail, put on a few rings, her four leaf clover necklace and knee high black boots to complete her ensemble. Make-up was a no-no because Saelyun had a bad knack of rubbing her eyes if she was not in made-up mode. (AN: Like dressing up for a party or clubbing, or something where you know you're dressed up special!")
Once she was finished Saelyun headed back to Haruhi's, locking the door to her apartment behind her. Saelyun pulled out her pink Rhine stone covered cell phone to check the time. They had about 45 minutes until school began, and Saelyun had to get there with enough time to go to the office and pick up the necessary forms and itinerary.
"Haruhi!" She hollered as she banged on the door for the second time that morning. "Are we leaving soon? I still have to pick up my stuff from the head office at school." Saelyun informed the wood door facing her. She heard some shuffling from behind the door right before it flung wide open. Yet she was greeted by the sight of a boy with flaming red hair instead of her friend Haruhi. The boy was wearing an Ouran school uniform.
'This must be one of her friends from the host club.' Saelyun concluded. She opened her mouth to introduce herself but didn't get a chance to. A loud voice from within the apartment cut her off.
"KAORU! HARUHI SAYS WE'RE LATE. GRAB THE NEW TOY AND GET TO THE CAR!" Instantly Saelyun found herself flung onto the boy's shoulder, who she now knew was Kaoru, and carried speedily out off the apartment complex and into a waiting limo.
Haruhi she discovered had been brought to the car in the same fashion by the other person in the apartment. Apparently Kaoru's twin. The car began its journey to the school immediately after the car door shut.
Straightening out her skirt Saelyun lifted her head only to find two pairs of almost identical eyes staring at her. It was actually a little unnerving. This small staring contest continued until Haruhi realized that the twins weren't all over her and looked up to see what was going between Saelyun and the twins. Haruhi decided to break the tension.
"Hikaru, Kaoru this is my new friend and neighbor, Saelyun Romanibenoz. Saelyun these are the twins from the Host Club I told you about. This is Hikaru…" She gestured to the one on the left. "…and this is Kaoru." She gestured to the one on the right. Saelyun remembered Haruhi telling her that the twins were devils in disguise.
"I am honored to meet you both." Saelyun spoke softly, bowing her head at them in acknowledgement. Hikaru and Kaoru gave Saelyun a minimal, almost rude greeting. They both weren't sure how to feel about Haruhi having another person outside the Host Club to spend time with. It may interfere with their efforts to monopolize Haruhi's time. Haruhi caught a wink from Saelyun when the twins weren't looking.
Haruhi let an expansive grin make its way across her face as she remember the conversation she and Saelyun had had while Saelyun had been trying on the uniforms.
Flashback
"So let me get this straight. Tamaki is the king of the Host Club, thinks that he's your father, and basically drives you up the wall most of the time?" Saelyun clarified as she picked up the shorts and gym t-shirt. A little tight with the shorts by they would do.
"Basically, but he's pretty harmless. The twins come in handy sometimes, as they tend to like getting under Tamaki's skin, which in turn distracts everyone from me." Haruhi commented, laughing to herself as she recalled all the times Tamaki had chased the twins around the music room because of something said or done involving Haruhi.
"Okay so the twins are like your protector's then?" Saelyun asked. Haruhi snickered at the question.
"Not at all. They are little devils in disguise. Together they cause trouble where ever they go! They play tricks and love to bug Tamaki, and myself of course!" Haruhi explained.
"Have you ever played a trick back on them?" Saelyun asked, a plan already formulating in her head.
"No. I never thought too since it is always just myself and the Host Club who know my secret." Haruhi told Saelyun.
"Well would you like too?" Saelyun suggested. Haruhi leaned forward towards Saelyun with a Cheshire cat grin on her face.
"What do you have in mind?" Haruhi inquired.
"First don't tell them that I know you're a girl……" And from there a most wonderfully evil plan was given birth.
By the end of the day things were going to get very interesting for the members of the Host Club.
End Flashback
Thank you very much to everyone that reviewed! You have given me some great ideas for things to come. And from what you have told me in your reviews from chapter 2 most of you think it would be best for Saelyun to have a little Japanese in her, so I feel I will be bringing that in a little later on. I am also going to continue asking for your opinions because I know I hate when a story takes a bad turn!
Here are some more questions:
Should Saelyun be able to tell the twins apart like Haruhi can?
I was thinking of having Saelyun know some kind of martial art, good or bad idea?
Saelyun is going to start to bring Haruhi out of her comfort zone and into the girl world more, so I want to know how far can I go with that?
Thanx a bunch and I can't wait for your reviews!!
