Kyoya Ootori looked on with a bored stance at the others, they were in Tamaki's mansion. Apparently he had something "Super-Duper important!" to show them (as he had put it). Kyoya was expecting a new gadget, or an addition to the mansion that was going to be built (maybe even a new animal that was discovered, who knows?).
He hadn't expected this fiery blonde girl that had shown up in a button-up and jeans (contrasting to the elegant school uniforms they wore).
Truth be told, she had interested him a little bit when she had entered the room. Her face had glowed a magnificent shade of purple as she had yelled at Tamaki, and the expression on his face was priceless. In different circumstances he would have laughed, but Kyoya was a very serious person. So he acted indifferently to the humorous scene, as did Haruhi.
However, certain others (coughHikaru and Kaorucough) roared with laughter. Mori cracked a smile and Hunny giggled like a three year old who had done something naughty.
The girl stormed out of the dining room, braided hair flowing behind her like streamers of gold paper. Tamaki whimpered pitifully, holding his arms over his head in a defensive position.
"But I thought it was a good idea to surprise you guys!"
Well apparently not.
Haruhi sighed and turned to the whimpering blonde. "Who was that anyways Senpai?"
Tamaki gave another small whimper.
"My cousin, Edlyn."
...
The sun shined over Ouran Academy, streaks of light painting the landscape around the school a glorious array of colour (it wasn't that glorious though, considering the amount of sparkles everywhere). Seriously, everything friggin shone like a star on steroids. Edlyn Elric, the 'Fullmetal Alchemist' and 'Hero of the people' stopped to look at the absolutely gigantic building in front of her (to-do list in hand). To make a long story short, she wasn't impressed.
Jesus, the thing had more sparkles than Armstrong on one of his hugging sprees and pink everywhere. And she meant EVERYWHERE. Edlyn had always been more of a tomboy, sure she didn't appreciate pink things but she could stand them and tolerate them.
The amount of pink here was too much.
Why had she even agreed to go here?
Because your only close family left is dead, and the only others related to you were a bunch of rich snobs who live here. This far away country where children are required to go to school.
Oh right.
Edlyn shuddered and continued up the huge steps of the enormous building, hesitantly opening the doors that shrouded the inner school from view. She was immediately hit with the strong scent of rose petals and perfume, a menagerie of people were clumped in the foyer. All were sporting expensive looking uniforms. The girls wore poofy princess-esque dresses and the boys were dressed in purple jackets and black dress pants.
A few people stopped to stare at her, Edlyn's casual look clearly stood out from the school uniforms. However, she merely glared at the people staring, causing all of them to blush and look away. Ignoring the other students, she walked on with her wheat coloured eyes focused on the list she had made herself.
1) Entrance exam
2) Go to the office for orientation
3) Pick up uniform
Edlyn grimaced.
4) Lunch
5) Do whatever
...
The entrance exam was a piece of cake (or pie, pie sounded better) and, to the astonishment of the teachers, she finished it in a total of thirty measly minutes. They soon discovered she had gotten everything (everything) right, so they went straight to the orientation.
It was long and mind-numbingly boring. She didn't care about the 'luxuries' and 'benefits' of Ouran, or it's 'rich and long' history. Edlyn just wanted to get the hell out of there and find her stupid uniform (she wasn't looking forward to it, she hated dresses).
Finally, when the teacher stopped her compulsive rambling and handed her her papers, the blonde went to get that freaking uniform. The poofy monstrosity that should be sent to clothes hell (or something...).
May the gate or whatever powers that were up there help her.
...
The host club sighed as Tamaki gushed over his cousin.
"And she looked so adorable in the dress! Daddy's so proud of his little cousin! Look, I even got pictures!"
A phone was pushed in the hosts faces, showing a very flustered and blushing Edlyn to them. The dress looked nice on her, showing curves they didn't know she had.
Kyoya did have to admit that she looked cute, or at least more feminine than the girl he had seen at the mansion.
Hikaru and Kaoru gained devilish grins when they saw the picture (expressions = "Yay! More blackmail material!"). They looked and nodded at each other, surely plotting some kind of prank on Edlyn. Kyoya pitied the girl for what was going to happen to her. The twins took the phone and examined the picture more
The doors to Music Room #3 were then bashed open by a fuming Edlyn in a dress. She smiled sweetly at Tamaki, though it held bloody intentions behind it. Tamaki cowered, and rightly so.
"Oh wonderful cousin, do you perhaps have those photos you took of me? I would very much like those back, and I won't hesitate to use force if you don't give them!" Her voice was sickly sweet, and reeked of those 'I'm-going-to-hurt-you' vibes. Tamaki cowered even more and pointed to the Hitachiin twins.
"They have them."
The smirks that were on their faces disappeared instantly, a cold feeling climbing in the windows of the room.
"Oh shit."
And the two ran for their lives.
...
It didn't take long for the twins to be caught by Edlyn and have the phone forced away from them, after which, the pictures were deleted and all hopes of blackmail were gone. Edlyn then thanked Tamaki, and was about to leave when she was stopped by her cousin.
"Edlyn wait! You haven't been introduced to the host club yet!" Tamaki clung to her small form and spun her around to look at everyone. All the while, she wore an irritated mask. Tamaki, however, didn't notice. He pointed to each member of the host club in turn.
"The strong silent type, Takeshi Morinozuka."
Ed's eye twitched.
"The lotila, Mitsukuni Haninozuka."
"Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, the mischievous types."
The twins smirked at the girl, her eye twitched a little more vigorously this time.
"Kyoya Ootori, cool type."
Kyoya did not smile or frown, but kept his face indifferent.
"Haruhi Fujioka over here is the natural type, and I'm the princely type!"
Edlyn facepalmed. She glared at Tamaki, making sure to convey her feelings of annoyance. Nevertheless, she walked up to each host and shook their hand. But on Haruhi's turn she hesitated.
"Why is a girl wearing a boy's uniform?"
