Icy Cold Meet Burning Hot

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters from the manga but I do own the one that I created.
AN:Now I realized that I made a mistake earlier in the story that I am going to fix in this chapter. Haruhi and the twins are actually in class 1-A as I discovered in my manga so Saelyun is in that class, mostly.
Chapter Four
Feeding the Beast
The rest of the ride to school was silent, as the twins weren't sure how to act around the new person in the car. Also they couldn't act like they normally would without looking completely homosexual, or giving away Haruhi's secret.
Kaoru had thought that when he answered the door he would be greeted with the sight of a typical Ouran female student. To which he could then use his hosting skills on. What he found was a 5'7, brown haired, emerald eyed girl dressed half like a boy and half like a girl. Not very typical.
Hikaru also had noticed Saelyun's unusual uniform combination. Though the look was very chic on the girl, he was the son of a fashion designer after all, he couldn't quite figure out why she wasn't wearing the normal Ouran issued dress. He was about to make a comment when the driver informed them that they had arrived at school.
"Thank you very much for the ride." Saelyun thanked the twins as she got out of the limo, not waiting for the driver to open the door. Well she was sitting right next to it, and really needed to get to the office.
"Hikaru, Kaoru, I'm going to accompany Saelyun for the rest of the day." Haruhi informed the twins as she made her way out of the car behind Saelyun.
"Please tell Tamaki-senpai and Kyoya-senpai that I will come to the Host Club at the end of the day, as I will be spending free period showing Saelyun around." Haruhi shouted back over her shoulder as she and Saelyun made their way up the stairs to the entrance.
Once inside Haruhi led the way to the office, explaining the various hallways and rooms that they passed, and where they would lead to. "If someone got lost in here I bet you'd never find them." Saelyun stated as she stared up at yet another crystal chandelier.
Haruhi laughed in agreement informing Saelyun that they had reached the office. Much to Saelyun's surprise, she wasn't asked many questions, only things like, 'sign here' and 'is this correct'.
The secretary handed Saelyun a large envelope telling her that everything she would need was in it including timetable, mandatory social events, map……yada yada……blah blah. Saelyun really just wanted to get to the end of the day. She was really looking forward to what she and Haruhi were going to do to the Host Club.
Saelyun rifled through the envelope until she came across the sheet with her timetable on it. Haruhi grabbed Saelyun's hand and tilted it so that she could also read the schedule. Haruhi's action caught the attention of surrounding students who instantly began to whisper; already the rumor mill had begun to churn. Haruhi and Saelyun were not oblivious to what was happening because of their actions. They had planned it this way.
"You have most of your classes with me, except I don't take gym, wait, how come it says Physics and Math 2-A?" Haruhi said out loud, thinking that the office had made a mistake.
"Well back in Russia I had a very good teacher for Math and Physics, and excelled rapidly. So I guess they thought taking 1-A wouldn't be challenging enough." Saelyun remarked, shrugging her shoulders lamely.
Yes Saelyun felt she was very good in both areas but she wasn't sure that she would be able to handle moving up a grade level. This had obviously happened for one of two reasons. One the school had been informed of her capability in those subject areas and moved her up, or her step-mother had the school advance her in hopes that Saelyun wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Oh. I'm not certain but two of the other Host Club members are in 2-A so you probably have those classes with them, but I'm not sure." Haruhi said trying to remember Tamaki's and Kyoya's timetables. The first warning bell sounded alerting the girls that they should start making their way to their first class. As they walked to their classroom Saelyun had to keep herself from laughing at the gossip floating around them.
"Who is that with Haru-chan?" One girl asked her friend.
"Why are they walking so close together?" Another girl said.
"I thought that Haruhi was single?" The other girl whined back.
"Why is that girl wearing part of the boy's uniform?" A tall male asked.
"If he has a girlfriend now, will Haru-chan still be a Host?" A short girl asked.
Playing it up a little Saelyun leaned in close to Haruhi so that her lips were mere centimeters from Haruhi's ear. This sent the watching students into a whole new frenzy. Saelyun whispered very softly into Haruhi's ear. "This is going to be almost too easy!"
Haruhi new what Saelyun was doing and played along. Stopping together in the middle of the crowded hallway Haruhi turned her face so that now her mouth was also beside the ear of Saelyun. Together they looked like two lovers who were exchanging sweet nothings, oblivious to anything around them.
"I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Host Club members already heard about this." Haruhi whispered back. Saelyun dropped her face and faked a blush as if Haruhi had just confessed something very romantic. Taking a play from the twin's play book Haruhi lifted Saelyun's chin up so that Haruhi was looking deeply into her eyes.
"We should hurry to class Saelyun." Haruhi said slipping her hand into Saelyun's. "I don't want you to be late on your first day." Haruhi announced, just loud enough for everyone around them to hear, and there was quite a crowd already formed.
The girls swooned at the romantic nature of the display and the boys were intrigued, could this girl be the first one to capture the heart of one of the, relationship elusive, Host Club members? Saelyun and Haruhi smiled to each other as they reached the classroom. They had everyone eating out of the palm of their hands.
Inside the class Haruhi led, with their hands still intertwined, Saelyun to two seats at the back of the room on the left hand side. These seats were on the opposite side of the room from where Haruhi usually sat with Hikaru and Kaoru.
The twins had been sitting in their classroom, perched on their desks, waiting for Haruhi to show up. They were a little put off after being ditched earlier, and then having to tell the 'Shadow King' and 'King' that Haruhi wouldn't be coming to the Host Club until the end of the day because of the new student. Tamaki, of course, had been over dramatic about his daughter not being attentive to her father's needs. Kyoya just made a note of something in his book as he usually did.
As the twins waited one of their female classmates rushed in giggling like a mad woman. The twins exchanged a questioning look, wondering what on earth was going on, and where the hell was Haruhi anyway? Two jaws simultaneously hit the floor at the site of Haruhi walking into the classroom, hand intertwined with Saelyun's, looking like the new 'it' couple of Ouran.
The twins were flabbergasted more so then any of the other students, due to the fact they knew, or thought they knew Haruhi was a girl! Well of course she was, but could she? Was she? Is it at all possible, lesbian?
The twins were prevented from commencing any type of interrogation as the girls had taken seats on the other side of the room and the teacher had entered the room and began the class. On the other side of the room the girls beamed to themselves. Things couldn't go any better.
"Class we have a new student joining us today. Ms. Saelyun Romanibenoz, would you please introduce yourself to the class." The teacher announced looking up to put a face to the new name. Saelyun rose from her seat and bowed to the teacher, acknowledging she was the new student.
"Hello. Saelyun Romanibenoz. I have recently moved here from Moscow, Russia and will be remaining here at Ouran until graduation." Saelyun said. She gave enough information as to not sound evasive but not enough for anyone to become curious and go digging into her personal stuff. The classes responded with their greetings and Saelyun reclaimed her seat as the teacher began the day's lesson.
As they had planned, Haruhi and Saelyun escaped their classes quickly once they were over, as to not have to deal with the twins. They decided to use the free period they shared to help Saelyun get better accustom to the school/castle.
Meanwhile in the Third Music Room……………
"What do you mean Haru-chan has a girlfriend?" Hunny whimpered stopping mid skip. The six male members of the Host Club were gathered, just doing nothing really. Magically they all had the same free period. Well, more like Ootori heir magic.
"It would seem that our dear Haruhi has been seen in…intimate…… situations with the new student in class 1-A." Kyoya quipped from behind his laptop. He had heard the girls chattering on about Haruhi and 'his' new girlfriend during all of his morning classes. He could admit to himself that he was curious about this new development.
"I won't believe it! There is no way our daughter drives down that road." Tamaki proclaimed, roses swirling around him causing the twins to roll their eyes. Together they snuck up behind Tamaki, an evil glint in their eyes.
"But Milord, she has never shown any interest in a guy." Hikaru said. Tamaki sweat dropped. "Not even in you Milord." Kaoru added. Tamaki went into depressing mushroom growing mode after processing the meaning in the twins' words.
Saelyun was quite happy that she was sitting in her last class of the day. Physics 2-A. Unlike in all of her other classes, the Physics teacher did not introduce Saelyun or have her introduce herself. No one had really paid much attention to her, only a blond guy had tried to get fresh with her. Saelyun put a stop to this immediately by sending a fiery glare right through the blond, effectively reducing him to ashes. No one bothered her after that.
About half way through the class Saelyun found herself glancing around the room attempting to figure out which one of the guys in her class were the members of the Host Club that Haruhi had mentioned. She quit her analyzing when the teacher asked a student, whose name she missed, for the solution to the problem on the board.
The teacher had called upon a boy with jet black hair and oval glasses a few rows up from Saelyun's seat. Something about this guy rubbed her the wrong way, and she hadn't even met him yet. The boy walked up to the black board very casually and solved the problem without missing a beat. Saelyun reviewed the answer and quickly raised her hand.
"Yes Ms. Romanibenoz?" The teacher called.
(AN: I am making the physics up cause I just need it to make the first meeting fit the plot! So I really don't care if it makes no sense, and yes I do take physics so leave me alone!)
"Wouldn't it be more simple to just cross multiple and eliminate the cancelable variables and then solve using x y principle?" Saelyun asked as she read over her answer, before she looked up to the teacher for confirmation. The class had gone deathly silent. No one ever questioned Kyoya's methods, since he was the top student.
The teacher walked to his desk and opened a very large book. He began glancing up between the board and the book frequently. It felt like he was taking hours to Saelyun, who was looking straight ahead of her to avoid making eye contact with the black haired boy who had turned around completely in his seat and was currently casting a very cold stare at her.
Still not looking directly at him she couldn't help but think, 'What is his problem! I was just asking a question for my own benefit. It's not like I just confessed to running over his dog!' Back to pretending she was oblivious to his staring, Saelyun waited for the teacher to answer her question.
"You are correct Ms. Romanibenoz." The teacher finally decreed. Saelyun finally made eye contact with the boy, flashing him her trademark I-just-so-made-you-look-dumb smirk. She saw his eyes darken in response. Saelyun wasn't intimidated by this boy, far from it. So before their eye contact could break Saelyun mouthed two simple words.
'Bite Me'.
She quickly broke eye contact not really caring to see how he reacted. She knew his type, and knew that she was going to enjoy getting under his skin the rest of the year!
Kyoya Ootori prided himself on his cool nature and being able to keep his composure, but this girl was starting to get under his skin. She had upped him one in class and then gloated! This would not be the end of the new silently declared war between the two. Kyoya would see to that, and now it was personal.
Okay another chappie down and my two main characters have finally met at odds!! How do you like it?? Thanks for giving me your imput it will help out a lot when those issues come up! I promise that the prank will happen in the next chapter so don't get your panties in a twist!!
More questions now:
Should Saelyun and Kyoya get into a physical battle later on?
I am going to cut Renge out of the story, objections? (I just don't see her as important.)
Any objections on paring Haruhi with one of the Hosts also?
Can't wait to hear from you, and drama is more to come! Don't worry about Haruhi she will stay true to her character, I'm just going to expand on her a little. Also I hope that you keep reviewing cause I like to hear a lot of feed back, even if you rant on about something! I love it all!!
