Chapter: 2

Disclaimer: Since I didn't do it previously, I do not own Ouran High School Host Club, only my fan character.

The room stayed moderately quiet as we walked side by side. Some girls gave a look of astonishment that Haruhi was welcoming me here; others of disgust for her charity. She seemed to be ignoring their passing glances though, so I did the same. Once and a while my eyes would wander across the room to watch how the hosts interacted with the girls. The girls seemed rather happy to be in their presence, but really how could they not. They were really beautiful guys. Only problem is that not too often are beautiful guys such as these actually gentlemen.

"I'll introduce you to some of the hosts." Haruhi said smiling. She led me to the nearest little set up. There were two boys; one tall, dark and handsome and the other small, boyish and cute. The little boy grew excited immediately upon Haruhi coming to greet him.

"Ha-ru-chan!" He beamed happily. He dove off the couch and into her arms welcomingly. He then looked over at me and tilted his head. "Who's this?" He wondered, as Haruhi set him down. He came over to me quickly and linked his arms behind his back like a little kid would do when they wanted something. "You must be the new transfer student! My name is Honey!"

I was surprised that he'd heard about me, but word probably got around fast at this place. "My name's Chelsea. It's nice to meet you." I said mirroring his posture and linking my hands behind my back.

He seemed to find my shy posture humorous, because his smile grew. "This is Takashi." He said hinting at the tall guy who had yet to say a word. Finally he nodded in my direction and I froze for a bit, wondering why he didn't say even a hello.

"Everyone calls him Mori though." chimed Haruhi.

"It's nice to meet you too Mori." I said trying to smile, but feeling nervous suddenly.

Then he did something that seemed out of character for him. He smiled at me.

I was surprised. These two were totally different yet they seemed to have quite the bond. "Are you joining the host club?" Honey asked with his same bubbly enthusiasm.

"Maybe." I answered.

"I hope you do! You seem nice! We should be friends!" He said giving me a quick hug before bounding back to the couch and taking his place back at Mori's side.

Haruhi then lead me elsewhere, as we walked I spoke up, "They seem nice."

"Yes, Honey and Mori are very nice. You've met Tamaki, he's the blond guy who greeted you when you first came in. Kyouya…" She looked around. "I guess he's busy doing host club business or something. Quite frankly I'm never sure, but you'll meet him eventually. Now… for the last two I have to warn you… they're a little…" She paused thinking of the right word. "Devious…"

"Let's play the "Which one is Hikaru game"!" I heard two voices in unison say.

We weren't far from the final two hosts, and they were twins.

"Hikaru! Kaoru! I want you to meet someone." Haruhi called to them as we approached.

When they turned their heads to see her, their eyebrows perked when they saw me. I couldn't help but admire them a little, they were really handsome. They both placed a hand on their hips. "Who's the girl?" One questioned.

"Her name is Chelsea." Haruhi replied.

"You must be the Yankee everyone's talking about." The other said.

I didn't know whether to be offended or not about being called a Yankee, so I just didn't say anything.

"Hey Hikaru, I've got an idea." said the same one who called me a Yankee. He must have been Kaoru. "We should see if she can play our little game."

Hikaru nodded in agreement. "See if you can guess which one of us is Hikaru." They said tipping their hats before shuffling back and forth to confuse me. The one then placed his arm around the other's hip and the other placed his arm around the other's shoulder. Leaning forward with the same devilish smirks they both asked "Which one of us is Hikaru?"

"Come on you guys, that's not fair. She doesn't even know you guys tha-" Haruhi started to say before I cut her off.

"The one on the left is Hikaru, and the one on the right is Kaoru." I said with confidence.

"Uh oh you got it wrong!" They both said together.

"No… she didn't." Haruhi murmured sounding astonished.

The twins stared at her in annoyance then they looked at me suspiciously.

"Did I… do something wrong?" I asked Haruhi.

"The only one whose ever been able to tell them apart was me." She answered. "For not even knowing them… you must have a sharp eye."

"It's a fifty/fifty shot." scoffed Hikaru. Obviously he wasn't happy about being defeated.

"How did you guess?" asked Kaoru, who seemed surprised and curious to know my tactic.

"Lucky guess?" I lied. Of course my psychic abilities helped, but really it was just something about them. Hikaru seemed a bit meaner than Kaoru. Kaoru even had a gentler voice.

"How did she get it right, we never have." one of their customers said with annoyance.

"I heard she has a rich grandfather and that's how she got here. Not by something interesting like a scholarship. Even though I bet she, herself is dirt poor." said another one.

Now I was offended. I shot glares at them. "You listen to me." I was trying not to yell. "I may not be rich like you money rolling morons but that's taught me values. Yeah, money doesn't come easy but not all of us need daddy to buy us a sports car or pay for the latest clothes to feel good about our lives." I said crossing my arms.

Both the twins and Haruhi were shocked that I stood up to them. The girls looked at me like they had never been more offended in their lives.

"Ah yes!" I heard the voice of a bumbling idiot agree, though I'm not exactly sure what he was agreeing to. It was that blond guy known as Tamaki again. He sure recovered quickly. "The poor are usually so miserable but this American is quite different! She is standing up for her lifestyle! Oh, how humble you are!" He said continuing his rant.

I sighed harshly. "Seriously, must you make an a** out of yourself all the time?" I wondered aloud.

Quickly, he retreated back to his corner.

Then I heard a burst of laughter. When I turned around I was surprised to see the twins were cutting up at my insult. They walked over to me and stood on either side of me with their arms draped over my shoulders like we were long time pals. "You have quite the mouth on you don'tcha?" asked Kaoru.

Hikaru grinned and placed his hand under my chin, lifting my face to meet his gaze. "I wonder what other tricks those lips can do."

Their attitudes totally changed. Here I was sandwiched between perhaps the most handsome guys I had ever met and I didn't have a clue of what to say. "Uh, is this some kind of a joke?" I asked.

They both chuckled again and pulled themselves in closer. "Oh, Kaoru?" questioned Hikaru.

"Yes, Hikaru?" He replied.

"Seems to me we have a new toy, wouldn't you say?"

"Wait a second! I am not anyone's toy!" I shouted.

"Are now!" they both said in unison hugging me tightly.

I looked at Haruhi in a pleading way, but she just shook her head and smiled. The twins then stood before me, blocking out my view of her, tangled together, with smirks growing on their faces. "Don't be afraid. We don't bite." They both said with sarcastic tones.

I crossed my arms, "As if I'd be afraid of you two." I said sticking my tongue out at them. "I'm going home!" I said turning, grabbing my stuff, and walking out.

"See you tomorrow Chelsea!" They both called.

"Bye Chelsea-Chan!" called Honey.

"Hope you come again…" I heard Haruhi murmur.

And even though they drove me crazy, I would return the next day, because even though I didn't know it yet, they would all impact my life drastically forever.

That night when I lay in bed, all I could remember was the dizzy feeling I got when the twins held me. The smell of their sweet scents tickling my nose, and their smiles teasing my heart strings. I rolled over and fell sleep, having dreams about their laughter. I would return the next day, just to see them again…
