A/N: okay hi again! Sorry it's been a while, but I just got back from vacation a few days ago. Thanks for your patience and let's get going!

Chapter 4: Meet the Hosts

In which Dawn visits the Host club, and Abby searches for her sister.

"Wow." Abby said after Haruhi finally finished her story. So in short she had been mistaken for a boy, broken a vase, gotten a debt, and now had to repay it as a host. Now throw in six crazy people, and the fact that they all had figured out she was girl when no one else knew, and you got Haruhi's current life. Abby wasn't sure whether it was overly comical or just plain ridiculous. Definitely a bit of both.

"Yeah. I mean, they are all good guys, but they can be a little too much at times." Abby agreed with Haruhi there. But some of the adventures and happenings had sounded pretty fun as well. Such as the time at the beach she had talked about. Sure it hadn't ended the greatest, but the rest of the time seemed to be fun. And not to mention how they had beaten the Lobelia academy girls (a/n: I absolutely hated them, they were so annoying)! She would've loved to see a bunch of guys dressed up as girls.

"Yeah, that was hilarious. I don't think I've ever laughed that hard before in my life." Haruhi also agreed, making Abby realize she had said the last one out loud. Haruhi and Abby both laughed together for a bit, before Haruhi, who had stopped first, looked over at the clock. "Lunch is almost over. We'd better get ready to go to class."

Abby nodded in agreement, and the two picked up their stuff together. Just before they got to the door, Abby spoke out. "Haruhi, could you not tell anyone that I'm a girl? I want to have fun with this before I get my uniform for next week." Haruhi looked puzzled, but nodded her head yes.

Abby grinned widely, and pulled open the door, letting Haruhi go first. Then the two split ways, and each headed off to class.

Dawn didn't think that the afternoon could be anymore slow. She wanted to get it over with already. She had decided that she would show up, say hello, find out what she wanted to know, and leave. As simple and easy as that. Why couldn't she help but feel that it wasn't going to work out like she wanted it too?

She was almost ready to shoot the clock that was so slow it was practically moving backwards. The main reason she was so anxious was because she had no idea of what to expect. She felt like she maybe had a guess of what a host club was, but she couldn't picture it. So far she knew four people who were most likely apart of it. Tamaki, Hunny, Mori, and of course, Kyouya. Four more unlikely to be a part of a club together she could not imagine. All four were polar opposites.

Looking at the clock once more, she was furious to see that it hadn't even been four minutes yet! The teacher was simply writing a multitude of notes up on the board, so she wasn't even able to distract herself in school work. Instead, she sighed, and began to copy the notes. It didn't take long before she wrote everything that he had so far, and was forced to wait while he erased the other board to continue on. She decided to take the opportunity to see who else had the class with her. Looking around, she recognized a few faces from her first class, but no one really stood out. Then she lit her eyes on the brunette boy/girl she had noticed earlier.

She believed that he/she was called Fujioka? Another last name she presumed. She decided to observe Fujioka and determine if he or she was a boy or girl. By going by first glance, you would assume a boy by the clothes, hair, and overall attitude. But if you looked closely, you noticed how feminine his/her looks truly were. Large doe like brown eyes, delicate features, and a very slender build. No, there was no way this was a boy. In Dawn's eyes, Fujioka was a girl beyond doubt.

Now, the other questions were why was she dressed as a boy, and why had no one noticed that she was a girl? Surely someone must've known. The whole school couldn't be made of idiots could they? No, thinking back to Kyouya, she knew that they weren't if anyone in the school knew about her, it would be him. Then again, people like Tamaki were here as well. Not to mention she had already seen what short hair and boys clothes lead people to assume with Abby that very morning. Maybe it wasn't so improbable that Fujioka had been mistaken for so long.

Deciding that she had satisfied her curiosity about the girl, she turned her attention back to the lesson, only to be interrupted when the bell rang. Wow, time sure flew quickly when she wasn't worrying about how slow it was moving. She realized with a shock that school was now over, and that she now had to go to the host club.

Music room 3 Tamaki had told her. That was all good, but where the hell was that? Sighing angrily to herself for being more than a little nervous, she pulled out the map she had put in her bag. A quick scan of it showed her the location of the room. She attempted to move slowly, but ended up moving much more quickly than she had intended. On the way she passed a girl in her grade. After a quick hello, she moved on.

Up a flight of stairs and down a hallway. Finally, she stood in front of a large set of double doors. The sign above the room stated that this was Music Room 3. Hesitantly she raised her right hand. Lowering it again quickly, she sighed. Why was she here, again, instead of on her way home away from the sickening pink walls, and ornate chandeliers? Oh, right. Kyouya hadn't really given her much of a choice. She'd just had to stomp on Tamaki's foot, hadn't she? She needed to learn how to control herself better.

She adjusted the fake glasses on her face, and ran a hand through her hair. It still felt a little weird from the dye, but it was smooth and neat. She pulled and tugged at her clothes until she couldn't stand it anymore. She threw the door open. And was assaulted by rose petals. ? Rose petals? Really?

"Welcome," a very well chorused string of voices all said together. How much practice had that taken she wondered? She opened her eyes that had been shut due to temporary blinding light and saw a group of seven boys all gathered around a chair, directly in front of the door.

The first one she saw was Tamaki. He sat in the centre of the group. To his immediate right was Kyouya, still holding his little black notebook. To Tamaki's left was…Fujioka. She was in the host club? Behind her were the two twins from her homeroom class. Side by side it was even more apparent how identical they were. Very much like Abby and Dawn were. The parts were the only way she could tell the difference between them. Lastly, behind Tamaki, were Hunny and Mori, with Hunny up on Mori's shoulders, holding Usa-chan.

"Dawn-Chan!" a very happy Hunny cried out, jumping down from Mori and running to her. She braced herself when he flew into her, almost knocking her back once again. He sure had a lot of energy and strength in such a little body.

"Hello Hunny." she told him kindly. She really didn't mind the small 18 year old. When he wasn't crushing her ribs that was.

"So, you already know Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai then. And you have met Kyouya and me as well." Tamaki spoke grandly, as though he was a king or something. He came up to her, and led her further into the room. "This is Haruhi Fujioka, and those two are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin."

So, that was their names. They looked at her, and then turned away, seemingly uninterested. Haruhi, however, came up to her. The shorter girl smiled at her, and Dawn could have sworn there were sparkles around her head. Weird.

"You're the new exchange student in our class. So, you would be Abby's sister, right? You're both Millers?" Dawn nodded her head. So someone had noticed that.

"Yeah, I'm Abby's sister." she confirmed out loud. Haruhi nodded, and moved back.

"You have a sibling?" Hunny asked her, coming up to her side.

"Yeah, Abby." Hunny looked up at her, and for once she believed his age. His eyes looked into hers very seriously for a moment, before his demeanor changed again, and he smiled cutely.

"Come eat cake with me!" he shouted happily, taking her hand in the one not holding his bunny, and dragging her to a table where Mori was already sitting.

From behind her she heard two voices. They were similar, but not the same.

"It's boring. Something interesting should happen." one said.

"Yeah. Or else we might have to…"another said.

"Make something happen." both finished together, with a slightly mischievous tone. She didn't have to turn to know it was the two boys who were talking. If she had turned though, she might have noticed that one of them had snuck a glance at her while he thought his brother wasn't looking. He secretly found himself wondering about the new girl in their class that had sat next to him. She hadn't been fazed when she saw both of them like so many others were. Maybe she would be fun to mess around with.

Dawn sat down at Hunny's table, and looked over the many desserts in front of her. It was around then that Tamaki announced that the host club was open for business. Almost immediately girls swarmed in, and began to separate off to different people. By far the largest group was Tamaki's, as he had a multitude of girls surrounding him. She was a bit puzzled though. Why had they told her to be there right after school if she was going to be early? After a piece of yummy chocolate cake, she said goodbye to Hunny, and wandered off. She would have gone to talk to Haruhi who seemed the most normal, but she already had a full table of girls around her, all looking at her in disturbing ways. What would they do if they knew that they were sending lovey-dovey looks at another girl?

Instead, she headed over to where Kyouya sat alone, typing away at a laptop. She was mildly curious as to what he was doing, but decided she would rather not know. She was unsure as why she was even here, but then she reminded herself that she still didn't know much about the club or its member. It was sheer and unhealthy curiosity that kept her there.

"Mind if I sit here?" she asked Kyouya, who didn't even look up from the screen before nodding his head.

"May I offer you any refreshments?" he inquired politely. She wondered why he was even a host. He seemed nice enough but anyone could see right through his act, and his fake smiles.

"You don't have to play the act with me you know." she told him, settling back against the couch. "I could care less anyways."

His fingers paused on the keyboard, and he looked up at her. She finally got a good look at his eyes, which were a gray colour. He almost smiled, but this one was a different one from the ones she had seen. Much more…sinister came to mind.

"Is there any reason you came over here?" he asked her, seeming somewhat interested as he closed the laptop, and looked at her fully.

"Curiosity, I suppose. I still don't really understand this place, and one of my goals was to, before I leave here without a second glance back." she stated easily. This time he did smile.

"Well, I suppose I can appease your curiosity if you ask me the right questions." he told her slyly. She really didn't like him that much, but at least he was interesting to talk to, even their little verbal battles will most likely always result in his victory.

"First off, what exactly is a host club and what does it do?"

"Only those with excellent social standing and those from filthy rich families are lucky enough to spend their time here at the elite private school, Ouran Academy." he spoke as though he was reading off of a script. "The Ouran host club is where the school's handsomest boys, with too much time on their hands, entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands." he really sounded like he was reciting something by now. She had to restrain herself from giggling at him. "Just think of it as Ouran's elegant playground for the super rich and beautiful."

"Wow," she choked out. "You sounded so enthused." he merely looked at her, well glaring was a more apt word here. Instead of making him angrier, she decided to keep asking questions.

"So, basically, you guys entertain ladies here?"

"For lack of a better description, yes." he said curtly.

"Okay, so how does it work?"

"Each host is a specific 'type' that caters to our guests needs. Tamaki is the princely type, and the most popular. He is also the president of the club, and self appointed king." she nodded. That seemed to fit him very well.

"Hunny-sempai is the boy Lolita type, and as you guessed, enjoys all sweets. With him is Mori-sempai, the wild type. He doesn't talk much, but he completes Hunny-sempai, and the two are usually together." again, this fit very well. Hunny was extremely cute, and Mori was very stoic. She wasn't sure why he was the wild type though.

"Haruhi is the natural type, and he appeals to the guests with his honest nature, and easy going attitude. The ladies feel that they are able to talk to him." well, she supposed that one would be true seeing as Haruhi was a girl, and therefore would be able to talk to girls. And her smile was in no way fake like some of the others.

"I am the cool type, as well as the vice president of the club. I make sure the club stays running." he didn't have much to say about himself, but that didn't surprise her much.

"Lastly, we have the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru, or the little devils type. They tend to be devious and enjoy pranking. What their main selling point is, however, would be their brotherly love."

"Brotherly Love?" she repeated louder than she had intended. "What the hell is that?" she didn't need to ask, as a crashing sound directed her attention to a nearby table.

She looked over, and saw it was the twins' table. It looked like one of them had spilt tea on his hand somehow and had dropped the cup. The girls around him worriedly asked him if he was okay. Before he could answer, the other one swooped down on him, and roses appeared behind the two.

"Kaoru! Are you okay?" the one who must've been Hikaru asked in a strangled voice.

"Hikaru, I'm fine." Kaoru said in a gentle voice. Hikaru put one hand under his brother's chin, making him look up at him.

"Be more careful Kaoru. I couldn't bare it if anything happened to you." Hikaru said, pulling his face very close to his brothers. The girls around them squealed very loudly, and one even fainted.

Dawn turned away in pure disgust. 'Brotherly Love'! Were they serious? What self respecting twins, especially brothers, would do something like that! And who in their right mind would be attracted to that…that…that Twincest act! Just the thought of it made her stomach turn.

"That was their main selling point?" she asked Kyouya. He smirked at her, and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, causing the glare to cover his eyes once again.

"Yes, it is quite popular among the ladies."

She really couldn't believe these people. They were all idiots. How could something like that actually appeal to someone? She gave a sigh, and rubbed her temples. She decided that her curiosity had been more than appeased. It was time to get out of here, and never look back.

"Are you leaving?" Kyouya asked her as she stood up.

"Yes, I think it's time I leave. Thank you for having me, but I don't think this is really my thing. Goodbye, Kyouya." she nodded politely at him, and he did the same. As she turned she saw that the room had been cleared of everyone besides the hosts. That was weird, especially since all the hosts now stood right in front of her. Hunny came up to her, with tears in his eyes.

"You're leaving? Do you not like us Dawn-chan?" darn it. He was really cute, but she really needed to leave.

"No, it's not that Hunny. I just have to go home and help Abby make supper, and then I have to clean up and do my homework."

"You have to do chores! Oh no, my new daughter lives a lowly commoner life like her sister Haruhi!" Tamaki wailed loudly, and glomped Dawn with enough force that she would have flown across the room if he hadn't been holding her. She felt her ribs threaten to crack, and struggled to breathe as he nuzzled her.

'Sempai! She can't breathe!" Haruhi shouted at him, and he released her. Instead he wailed to Kyouya saying that his daughter had shouted at him. What Dawn wondered was why he called Haruhi his daughter when she was supposed to be a boy. Did he know?

"Did you not…" a voice came from her left as a pair of arms snaked around her waist.

"…like our act." a second one finished as a second pair of arms encircled her shoulders. She didn't have to look to know the twins held her between them. She tried to twist out of their grasps, but they chuckled, and held her tighter.

"No, I don't think she did Kaoru." the voice, Hikaru, said from her left.

"Maybe she'd like it better if we did it with her." Kaoru said from her right, taking her chin in his hand, and making her face him. She resisted the urge to bite him. Instead, before Hikaru could continue, she pinched both of the sharply on the arms. It surprised them enough to let her go, and she moved away from them.

"Don't touch me." she warned them. They gaped at her, and Hikaru looked like he was ready to shout at her. She prepared herself for it when they all heard a voice outside of the room.

"DAWN!"

Abby was getting more and angrier by the second. It was bad enough that she even needed to find her sister, but that she couldn't find her made her mad. She had discovered, about two minutes after leaving school, that she didn't have her key. She must have dropped it when Haruhi crashed into her that morning.

So, she had had to go back to school to find her sister who had the other key. This should've been easy, but she had forgotten how big the stupid place was. Try finding one person in the building, and you really understood the expression of finding a needle in a haystack.

She had looked for ten minutes or so when she came across another girl she recognized from one of her classes. She had stopped her to ask,

"Have you seen a girl, close to my height, with black hair and glasses, dressed in a blouse and dress pants." The other girl and thought about it before nodding.

"I saw her going up the stairs and down a hallway earlier. She's probably in one of the rooms up there." Abby had thanked her profusely, and then dashed in the direction she had indicated.

She had gone up the staircase, and was now in the hallway. She had opened ten different doors already, but still no sign of her sister. Trying a different tactic, she shouted out her sister's name.

"DAWN!" still no answer. Finally, she came up to a large double door. Pulling the door open angrily, she exclaimed in English,

"If you're in here, I am sooo gonna kill you. Do you have any idea how long I have been looking in this goddamn school for…" she suddenly realized that Dawn was in fact, in the room. Also with her were six others. A very tall boy with dark hair and tanned skin and next to him, and very small boy who looked no older than ten. There was a tall blonde boy, who seemed to have bright purple eyes from what she could see. Not far from him stood another boy with dark hair, but he wore glasses with a glare covering his eyes. She also saw the twins from her class. The two ginger twins.

Lastly, she spotted Haruhi. If Haruhi was here, then that meant…

She backed out of the door quickly and looked up at the sign outside of the room. Yupp, this was Music Room 3. She had just met the Host Club. Why was Dawn with the Host club?

"Abby?" Haruhi asked her when she came back into the room.

"Hi Haruhi," she said, switching back to Japanese. "I didn't expect to see you here. I was looking for Dawn. Oh, Dawn I need your key. Mine's gone." Dawn nodded, and pulled a key out of her pocket. She threw it over to Abby, who reached to catch it, but it was snatched out of the air by one of the ginger twins.

"You know," he began, "It's not polite to barge in and not even introduce yourself. Ill-bread commoner." Abby almost attacked him, but decided that wouldn't be a very good idea.

"First off, my name's Abby Miller, which you would know if you had paid attention this morning. Secondly, it's not very polite to steal someone's keys either. Third off, who the hell are you calling a freaking commoner!" okay so maybe she didn't quite keep her cool. "Now give me the key!" she seethed at the insufferable boy. In turn he sneered at her.

"Why don't you make me?"

That was it. She decided to pull out a new card. Remembering Haruhi was there, she turned to the girl. She seemed to recall her saying that she got alone with the stupid twins.

"Haruhi! Help meeee!" she whined slightly. Haruhi sighed, and shook her head in defeat and mild amusement. She didn't think Abby was going to keep up her charade much longer if she kept acting like that. Haruhi looked over at Kyouya who was smirking. Yupp, he probably had known from the beginning. Hunny and Mori also were looking at Abby with mild fascination. They also knew. Tamaki of course didn't, and neither did the twins.

"SOO CUTE!" Tamaki exclaimed loudly, grabbing both Haruhi and Abby in his arms, twirling them around.

"AHHHH!" Abby screamed. She was getting really dizzy. Suddenly, she was grabbed away from the over excited blonde, and Haruhi was as well. Several things happened at once. The twin holding her backed into Dawn, who fell over, knocking her glasses off. The twin holding Haruhi bumped into the twin holding her, causing his grip to shift right onto her chest. He then gasped, and dropped her next to her sister. Her sweater had been pulled loose, and now hung off of one shoulder, revealing that she was a girl quite obviously. To help the situation, he shouted,

"He's a girl!"

Just to make things even more interesting, she realized that they were all gaping at her and Dawn. Looking over, she saw the identical face to her own, no longer covered by the glasses that had been knocked off. Why did she have to be clumsy, and fall over when bumped into? The other twin said quietly,

"They're twins."

A/N: And so the twins and the twins meet. And Abby is revealed as a girl, although Kyouya already knew. So did Haruhi. Anyways, hope you all recognized the little blurb Kyouya said about the host club! Oh and sorry that its going so slow right now, I just want to introduce everything before I continue on. It won't stay this slow I promise. And now review replies!
