Chapter 2

Kagome sighed, walking to Ouran, her high ponytail swaying as she walked. At first she thought the new school would be great, nobody knowing her, being able to start over…But no, of course none of this would happen. To make matters worse, somebody already knew her secret; whether it is about the Jewel or her gender, the young miko wasn't entirely sure. With another sigh, Kagome looked up and realized she was already at school, and soon inside. Her blue eyes wavered, scanning the room.

"Kagome!" 'I knew I should have stayed home today,' She sighed in her mind.

"Yes, Senpai?" Kagome turned to face the upper classman, plastering on a fake smile.

"About yesterday…" His voice trailed off, and instantly Kagome felt guilt for being so blunt and subtle the previous afternoon.

"I'm, I'm sorry Senpai, it's just…the whole Host Club thing was much unexpected."

Tamaki smiled, "So you're still gonna think about joining?"

The miko thought for a minute, "I suppose…if I did join its not like anything BAD would happen, right?"

For a second, Tamaki's eyes looked frantic, "U-uh, yes, I…suppose, so."

One of Kagome's eyebrows quirked up in question, but let Tamaki's unsure ness go unquestioned. "I'll stay after today and observe, alright?"

The Host Club 'King' grinned brightly, "Sure thing!" And with that he was heading cheerily to homeroom.

"Speaking of homeroom…" Kagome muttered under her breath, also heading to class.

"Kagome-chan!' Inwardly, she grimaced, outwardly, she grinned.

"Good morning, Kagome-chan!' Emiko, Aiko, and Senri called, quickly pulling their new friend from the throng of students—mostly girls—gathered by the door.

"Ah, good morning," Kagome gave a slight bow to her friends, "Thank you for helping me out of that mess,"

After the girls gave their own bow, they giggled at the sight of a blushing Kagome, nervously rubbing the back of his neck. Senri smiled, "No problem, Kagome,"

The young miko nodded and Emiko spoke, "I saw you talking to Tamaki-kun and Kyouya-kun yesterday." Kagome knew she wanted to know what happened, but just quirked one eyebrow up in confusion.

Before the black haired girl could speak once more the third girl, Aiko, spoke up, blushing nervously, "Um…are you joining the Host Club, K-Kagome-chan?"

The questioned boy's smile wavered, but was back in full force a second later. "I'm…not sure. I'll be staying after today to observe and see if I like it,"

All three nodded; although they were slightly sad at the fact he hadn't accepted the position yet. Senri was about to ask Kagome something, but the bell rang and all hurried away.

Kagome grimaced, glaring at nothing in particular, muttering random ramblings of things like, "stupid sensei…" and, "get the Tetsusaiga…" as well as, "Muwahahahahha!"

"Having an interesting conversation with yourself, I see." At the sudden voice whispering in her right ear, Kagome let out a loud, "EEP!" Kyouya completely ignored it and continued, crossing direction as he walked, now standing on the left side of the fuming miko, "You know, some say talking to yourself makes one go insane faster."

"Are you calling me insane?" Kagome asked briskly, directing her glare at Kyouya as she stopped walking and turned to face him.

The youngest Ootori smirked, glad to have gotten such a reaction, "Ah, dear Kagome, that statement became true a LONG time ago."

"Why you little!" She was about to pounce, if only Kyouya didn't stick what looked to be a rule book in her face, "What the hell is this?!"

"Ah, Kagome, swearing is so improper for a lady," She glared, "But please do remember the rules here."

At Kagome's confused expression, he elaborated, also starting to walk once more. "It says if any student is found fighting, they must pay a 2 million yen fine. Now, most of the students here can afford it…that is, except for you and the other scholarship student."

The freshman's eyes bugged out, "You can't be serious."

His smirk stayed in place, "Au Contraire,"

Kagome's glare was back in place, "Fine, I'll just be heading to class then," She let out a 'humph' and began to walk faster to class.

Watching her go, Kyouya smiled. He had won this battle as well.

"Kyouya!' And there went his happy mood right out the front door.

"Yes, Tamaki?" The glasses wearing Host Club member asked.

"Ah, nothing." Kyouya sighed, "I saw you talking to Kagome though—what happened?"

Kyouya, for a split second, panicked, "Ah, nothing, Tamaki. We were…just talking."

Completely oblivious to his friend's hesitation, Tamaki replied, "Oh, okay. Just remember he's observing the Host Club today."

Once again Kyouya was smirking as Tamaki walked off—oh, this'll be fun.

"Goodbye Kagome!" Kagome waved to Senri, who she had recently realized was in her Science class.

"Bye Senri!" As they waved each other off, Kagome turned into the direction that she knew the Host Club was in. On her way, however, the young miko had spotted a throng of fan-girls and had been quick to divert them, pushing herself into a throng of men. Blushing from the close proximity with the opposite sex, she stumbled away from them, falling against the wall.

Sighing, Kagome looked up, and saw a sign which read 'Third Music Room' and under it was another sign, 'Host Club Open'. Realizing she was in the right location, Kagome turned the knob of one of the vibrant colored doors, hand shaking slightly from nerves on the brass knob.

"Kagome-kun!" She turned to see who in which was calling her name. At the sight of two orange-headed twins, her mind came up with nothing.

Stepping into the room farther, although hesitantly, Kagome asked, "And you are…?"

Realization shone in their eyes, and after making their way briskly over to the miko, they clasped one arm each over either side of her arms. "We are the Hitachiin twins, Kagome-kun." They both said in unison.

The young cross dresser pulled herself out of their arms, and rubbed her temples, "Ugh, twins,"

Frowning, the Hitachiin twins walked up to her once more, and this time Hikaru spoke, "And what is wrong with us being twins?"

Sighing, she turned to the other brother, Kaoru, who was being somewhat quiet, "The fact that he," Kagome nodded at the twin she was looking at, "and you can switch your identities up at any given moment in time," she finished with her head cocked to the side, looking straight at Hikaru.

Smirking, Hikaru walked over to Kaoru, and the two walked across the room to where Kagome could see a figure that in which looked vaguely like Tamaki. A few minutes after the twins had left, and the other Host Club members still chose not to appear, Kagome turned to look at the three across the room as she heard a cry. The third man, now obviously viewable as Tamaki from the extravagant way he over reacted, let out a cry, freaking out at the smirking twins. "You did what?!" Was all Kagome could make out.

Sighing once more, Kagome realized two things: she better stop sighing so much or she'll loose her sanity if it hadn't already left her, and to get Tamaki to calm down. "Senpai!" She called as she headed over in their direction.

"A-ah, Kagome-kun!" Tamaki whirled around, shocked from the sudden arrival of the scholarship student. Kagome only quirked an eyebrow up in question.

"Where's everyone else?" She asked.

Still in his state of shock, Tamaki was unable to answer, and seeing as how Hikaru was laughing it up, Kaoru answered, "On their way,"

Kagome nodded, and turned to look at Tamaki once again. "Are those two alright?" She asked Kaoru, nodding towards he and his brother's 'Lord', as well as his own twin.

Smiling, he nodded, and walked over to Kagome, "I think it's time you're introduced to all the other Host Club members."

Kagome was smiling as well, and about to reply when someone came up and pulled Kagome possessively towards themselves. "What the…" Kagome muttered, looking into the face she'd come to hate in the last thirty hours or so.

"Kaoru, go make sure Hikaru and Tamaki don't kill each other." His eyes held a hidden gleam, "I'll show Kagome around."

Nodding, yet quite confused, Kaoru went over to where Tamaki was overreacting and Hikaru was egging him on. Kagome turned to look up at Kyouya, still in close proximity of each other, as well. "That was uncalled for,"

"Yet very important," She quirked an eyebrow in question, "This way you won't come to know my name until later."

"You cheat," Kagome seethed.

"No, dear girl, I play the game," Kyouya smirked, he moved away from Kagome, and walked in the direction of some other people. Glaring at his back, Kagome began to walk after him, as well.

Ah, I just loved that above scene between Kyouya and Kagome! Hah.

"Mori-senpai, Hunny-senpai," Kyouya said to the two cousins who were already sitting at their usual table; Hunny eating cake and Mori watching his older relative.

"Kyou-chan!" Hunny exclaimed, as his cousin only nodded.

"This is Higurashi Kagome; he is observing today and will then decide if he would like to join the Host Club." The youngest Ootori explained, putting emphasis on the 'gender markers', Kagome only glared, knowing the hidden meaning to the way he spoke.

"Hello," Mori said as his cousin spoke with enthusiasm, "Hi Gome-chan!"

The newly nicknamed Gome-chan couldn't help but look down and smile at the young looking boy, "Ah, may I ask a question?" She asked Kyouya.

"You just did," Kyouya replied, smirking, yet still realizing he had used one of the oldest jokes imaginable.

"Oh, whatever," Kagome glared slightly at the taller raven haired person. "Why is Hunny a member of the club if he is so young? As well, why do you title him Senpai?"

Still smirking, Kyouya's eyes gleamed more so than they had earlier, "Ah, I was waiting for you to ask that. Hunny-senpai is actually the oldest Host Club member, currently a 4th, Senior, Year."

Kagome's mouth fell open slightly, and after turning to walk away, Kyouya used his one hand to push her mouth closed, "Come now, Kagome, most find it rude to gape for long period at time at one's person. Especially when the gaper's mouth is hanging open in the air so as to catch flies."

Coming back into 'reality' Kagome glared for what seemed the tenth time that afternoon, once again having to catch up with Kyouya. Before she did this however, the young miko maintained some sense of formality. "Bye, Hunny-senpai, Mori-senpai," She bowed slightly, but turned quickly so as not to loose track of the still mysteriously named Host Club member.

As the two left, Hunny turned to Mori, "Do you think Gome-chan will become a Host?"

"Hn," His younger cousin replied, still silent, however.

"Who else is there to meet?" Kagome asked Kyouya, tiptoeing so as to peer over his shoulder and reach his ear.

Swatting her away with his hand, Kyouya replied, "You already know Tamaki and the twins, so it only leaves Haruhi, and I, myself."

Kagome nodded, inwardly ecstatic on the chance to 'meet' the mysterious Host, finally having some answers. "Where is Haruhi-kun, then?"

"Just over there," Kyouya motioned to a couch where a few girls were already gathered, chatting with the feminine looking Host.

Kagome nodded, and the two walked up to where the girls and Host sat. "Excuse me," Kyouya smiled, his charm fully on now, "If I could borrow Haruhi for a moment, it'd be wonderful."

The girls' hearts fluttered at the sight of the raven-haired Host, barely being able to nod in response. As the girls almost lost consciousness from all of the beauty they were witnessing, Haruhi had gotten up and walked over to Kyouya.

"Yes, Senpai?" The other cross dresser asked.

"Kagome is the new scholarship student here, and he's agreed to observe the Club today, and then say if he's going to join us," Haruhi nodded and turned to Kagome.

"Hello, Kagome-kun, I'm Fujioka Haruhi," She bowed slightly.

Bowing as well, Kagome introduced herself, "Hello, Haruhi-senpai, I'm Higurashi Kagome. And please, call me only Kagome, honorifics make me sound much too old," She flashed a smile.

Haruhi nodded, and turned to Kyouya, "I believe I should get back to the ladies," Kyouya nodded, and began to walk off once again, leaving Kagome to her slight bowing in goodbye, and then catching up to he once more.

"So," Now fully caught up, Kagome began to walk alongside Kyouya, "When do I get to know your name?"

"In time," Kyouya replied mysteriously.

"But you said—" She was cut off, however, by Tamaki running over with shouts of "Kyouya! Help me! The twins are attacking me again!"

Kagome smirked, she now knew his name. "So, Kyouya, is it?"

Said Host member glared at the shorter girl, and then turned to look at his friend, a bored expression on his face. "Okay, Tamaki. Go Host some girls, and tell the twins to do the same." Tamaki nodded, excited even over the simplest of answers, and went to go find some ladies who requested him.

Kyouya had turned away, about to go sit on a couch where some girls who had requested him sat, but stopped abruptly when Kagome's sing-song-y voice rang into his ears, "Kyou-ya!" 'Tamaki. Is. Dead.' Kyouya thought, turning around with his glare already directed.

Kagome smiled brightly, glad to have hit a nerve, "Now what shall I do?"

"Observe." He said coldly, walking once again. Kagome shrugged her shoulders, and went around the room, greeting some of the girls, answering their questions, and watching how the Host Club members went around doing their job.
