Alex Conners: 5'0, Virgo. Positive traits of Virgos: brave, sincere, dynamic, freedom loving, spontaneous, adventurous, takes initiatives, inspiring, and child-like enthusiasm. Negative traits of Virgos: rushing into things, ego, demanding everything immediately, and reacting.

Theme song? I'm Alive by Becca. I don't own any anime or their characters. I only own Alex and I deeply apologize for all the Black Butler references...and others.

I hadn't realized it, but the person I chose to "Voice" Alex in this fanfiction actually voiced Asuna from Sword Art and Yuri Egin from Blue Exorcist, Elizabeth from Black Butler, Patty from Soul Eater, Setsuna and Akira from Negima, Kirimi from Ouran, and Premula from Shuffle...Also Lucy from Fairytale-though I knew that one.

O.o

Anyway, her "Voice actor" is Cherami Leigh

"The currently guilty authoress does not own Ouran High School Host Club, she only owns her Ocs. She also doesn't own any other animes such as Black Butler, Death note, or any other animes mentioned in this fanfic," Kaoru started to list off, reading from a sheet of paper, "She also apologies for all the late updates, but with all the parades going on and the ISSMA contest and her having to march in those, along with school work and other fanfictions such as "The Complicated Truth" and "Demons' Flames Beautiful" and "SAO: Era of Change" that she has posted on her DeviantArt, and trying to finish Fairytale, Deathnote, and Mirai Nikki, and Problem Children are Coming From Another World aren't they? it was rather difficult-wait, why am I reading this again?"

My head popped out from a kitchen where a grilled cheese was cooking, "Because I threatened to take away some screen time and Hikaru if you didn't. You also forgot to mention me working on a VK fanfic on my deviantart called "Kinji Rareta Unmei"."

"Why can't you do it?"

"I'm lazy!"

May 18, 2014

The doors opened and like always, the Host Club greeted the new comers, only to stare at a surprised Haruhi and random guy from their spots on the couch.

Everyone was dressed as knights, except for Alex who was forced to wear a black and green princess costume. The random guy wearing the Ouran Uniform knelt down in front of Haruhi and kissed her hand, saying, "-I vow that I shall never leave your side until the day my life ends-"

Alex cut in, slightly annoyed at the cheesiness-not that she had a problem with it or anything, she usually enjoyed a good cheesy line, "Less drama, more...Mystery. Act like a bad boy, girls love that kind of thing. Say something like," Everyone paused at what they were doing and watched as Alex started to make movements, saying, "I know I've never told you this before, but if you want me to be honest...I love you". I never outright said it before, because I thought you knew, but I do."

Hikaru and Kaoru ran over and grabbed the girl by the arms, complaining, "Alex~! Don't encourage the creep!"

"But, I'm bored-!"

"No!"

"Fine..."

The man from earlier spoke, looking at Alex in surprise, "Two young maidens?" Calmly moving away from Haruhi, he started to head towards Alex saying with an apologetic face, "Please, forgive me, Miss. If I had known you were here I would have given you my unyielding attention-"

Alex took a few steps back, uncomfortable with how close he was getting to her, and said awkwardly, "Um, cool, but, uh-Haruhi! Help!"

Haruhi gave her a deadpan, "Don't drag me into this." Alex gave the brunette an almost glaring look, but froze and felt uncomfortable shivers go up her spine when the man grabbed her chin and leaned in so their noses were almost touching.

"Your eyes have seen so many things, but there's still an innocence that lurks that begs to remain untouched," The man spoke, his deep voice oddly reminding Alex of a girl's. Weird-wait, Doesn't this seem familiar? I'm sure I've seen this random person before... She just couldn't name when or where, "Unlike these foul beasts here, I would never leave my lover alone."

"H-Hey," Alex began, leaning her head back in an attempt to move from the person, her hands on their shoulders, "Look, you got the wrong idea-"

"Even if I were to die, I would never leave your side my love-" The person was rudely interrupted when a pair of hands pushed the two away, a book against the others chest and a hand against Alex's left shoulder.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from harassing our Hostess; It's against the Club's policy to sexually harass one another."

Alex almost felt her heart skip a beat, feeling her face heat up a she gave Kyoya a huge smile, growing incredibly excited for some reason, "Kyoya!"

Haruhi let out a sigh of relief from the sidelines, Somehow, I'm not surprised it was Kyoya who came to her rescue. The two should just hurry up, kiss, and get together already, honestly. It was so obvious the two had feelings-and the tension between them almost drove her up the wall. Maybe she should have Renge and Akiko plan something... Nah, too much work. She grew confused for a moment, Wait, but what about that one kiss that day a few months ago? Could they be dating in secret? She then sweatdropped, I'm sounding too much like Tamaki-Sempai...

"Is that so?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow, his beautiful face frowning at Kyoya's handsome one.

Wait a minute... Alex though intensely for a moment, staring up at the man before it hit her. She gasped, clapping her hands together before pointing a finger up at the man in the Ouran Uniform, "AH! I got it! A challenge from Lobelia Girls' Academy! Right!?"

The Host Club spoke in unison, utterly confused, "What?" Kyoya and Mori were the only silent ones, Kyoya merely looking down at her through his glasses.

The man, no woman, looked down at her with a smirk, "That's correct. Of course, only a beautiful and highly intelligent young maiden such as yourself would be able to figure it out."

Haruhi spoke up, raising a hand, "Can someone please tell me what's going on here?"

"Benibara-!" A girl exclaimed as she and another woman in Ouran Uniforms ran over, "You're late!"

"Where have you been-?" The second one asked, catching sight of Haruhi out of the corner of her eye, "Oh! You're incorrigible-where on earth did you find such a lovely gem?"

"This one's nice enough," The first one stated, pulling Alex away from Kyoya by her dress sleeve and giving her a judgmental look, "but she's too sarcastic for her own good and those scars don't benefit her looks at all."

Alex felt as though someone had dumped ice cold water on her, a deep pain in her chest hitting her.

"Now now, Suzuran, no need to be so rude." The second girl, the one with the acorn yellow hair, commented before quickly grabbing Alex and dipping the poor girl down so she could run a hand up and down her leg, "After all, her skin is rather soft! Oh, my!"

"Suzuran" had moved over to Haruhi and dipped her as well, rubbing her face against the brunette's leg, "What about this one, Hinagiku?"

"Hinagiku" commented with a smile, "I think they're going to be diamonds in the rough!"

"Their skin is so clear!"

"But the scar is so...there. You look at her and it's the first thing you notice!"

Alex flinched, despite her attempt to hold it back.

"Just look at her clear, maidenly eyes!" The woman with the deep voice commented, staring into Haruhi's dark eyes. Stress line formed on the poor Host's face and she said,

"Can you back away, please?"

"DON'T GO TOUCHING MY DAUGHTERS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION-!" Tamaki screamed in pain when the woman's fist came and hit him underneath the chin, sending him flying back towards the couch.

"Leave them alone!" The woman snapped, glaring as she watched Tamaki hold his tear-stained face as he backed up towards the couch, pointing at her.

"She punched me!"

Mori offered Tamaki his Kuma-Chan, Kyoya was holding some Vanilla icecream in his hand, Hikaru was holding up the Japan flag, and Kaoru was carrying some balloons. Mitsukuni was the only one without an item of comfort, other than his Usa-Chan of course.

"She's so violent!"

"Get a hold of yourself!" Mitsukuni told the blonde, frowning worriedly.

The woman with the deep voice commented, "I guess the rumors are true, though he's even more of a retard that expected. You guys are just a bunch of weak little punks with no sense between you."

Kyoya spoke, pushing up his glasses with a hand on his hip, "Judging by your reactions, you're not from here, are you?"

Alex cut in with a tick mark, "I said they were from Lobelia, already!" His glasses flashed.

"I know what you said, princess," Alex tried to ignore the blush that formed on her face as she gave him an annoyed look, "I just want to hear it from them themselves."

She turned her head, and despite her attempts to not look at him her eyes darted over to look him in the eyes as she muttered, "Shut up...No one asked you."

The woman and the girls quickly stripped themselves of their uniforms, revealing a white tip with a red bow and knee-length skirt underneath.

The woman sang, "Lobelia~! St. Lobelia Academy, Second Year, Benio Amakusa!"

"Same School, Second Year, Chizuru Maihara," Suzuran spoke.

"Same School, First Year Student, Hinako Tsuwabuki!"

Benio extender a hand with a white rose in her mouth, saying, "We are St. Lobelia Academy's "White Lily League". Also known as-!"

"The Zuka Club!"

There was a silence as the two clubs stared at each other, Kyoya having to hold his glasses on his face as he felt like they may fall off. Everyone else, except Mori whose eyebrows were furrowed, had dumbfounded expressions.

...

The silence seemed to continue, not wanting to be broken.

...

"The...Zuka...Club"?" Tamaki questioned as he slowly lost all color, "So then...lesbians?"

Hikaru and Kaoru quickly burst out into laughter, holding onto their stomachs as tears fell from their eyes.

"What a stupid name-"The Zuka Club"! Hahahaha!"

"The Zuka Club"! That's the greatest-!" Kaoru could barely talk, practically rolling around on the floor in laughter.

"Their a bunch of lesbos-!" Hikaru gasped, nearly suffocating. "-my stomach hurts!"

"It's priceless! And they had uniforms underneath their uniforms!" Alex frowned, not understanding what was wrong with lesbians. So, what? People of the same gender/sex liked each other, what's so bad about that?

Haruhi sighed, shuffling the bag in the arms, before stating as she headed towards the kitchen, "I'm going to go put the coffee away."

"I'm going to go sit on the couch," Alex declared, nodding her head in agreement with Haruhi. Yawning, she completely ignored Renge's speech about Lobelia Girls' Academy.

Once the speech was done, Alex lifted her head and stared with bored eyes as Suzuran spoke, "A girl's beauty. The internal beauty and pure soul. One that does not give into physical desires."

Hinagiku added, "Because you're a woman", "You're only a woman". I am sick and tired of hearing men's coerce degradation of the female kind."

Benio finished with a smile, "We are proud; Our souls have an equal relationship made possibly by being the same sex in the same environment. It truly is..."

"A romantic relationship!" The other two girls squealed as the hugged Benio. Alex blinked a few times before joining the twins in their videogame playing.

"Ah, you should've grabbed that ether," She commented and flinched when their screen read "Game Over", "Told you."

The clients have already left, so the twins have found it fit to stop laughing.

Hikaru restarted to game and Kaoru commented,

"Over there, left."

Then they both spoke, "Please go away. We don't have to worry about Haruhi being found out that she's girl since its you guys."

"Up, up!" Alex shouted, getting excited as a grin showed on her face. She shuffled uncomfortably in the dress, but managed to lean over Kaoru and watch Hikaru play the game. She blinked and gasped when a pair of arms wrapped around her chest and pulled her backwards, her head resting against a woman's chest. She blinked and lifted her gaze to stare at Suzuran, who said,

"My, My! You must be speechless at our sublime female love!"

"Let Alex go and leave, please." The twins were starting to get even more bored of the situation-they just wanted to play their game.

"What are they even saying?" Hikaru asked his brother as he pressed a few buttons, only getting an instruction as a response.

"Go right."

"C-Can you let go, please?" Okay, yeah, I'm okay with gays, lesbian, and bis, but these chicks are messing up the so-called circle of life with their speeches and their- "P-Please, let go!" Alex flinched when she felt her pull her off the couch and embrace her tightly, resting her chin on her shoulder. Kyoya...

Hinagiku laughed obnoxiously, "Oh, my! They must not know what to do since their lame Host tactics don't work us!"

Suzuran nodded in agreement, her hair tickling Alex's face. Kyoya, Haruhi...damn it, okay, that's it-! Alex has had enough. Alex was about to push herself out of the woman's arms, only to get grabbed by the wrist and pulled forward, a fresh minty smell hitting her nose when she landed gently against a very familiar.

It was here, that the Hosts actually pulled off the whole "Knight in shining armor" stereotype.

Alex felt her face grow beet red, but she hugged Kyoya tightly regardless as she attempted to bury her face in his chest-which was difficult because of the armor he was wearing.

The girls' looked on at Kyoya in interest.

"Well this is interesting, isn't it Hinagiku?"

"I must say it is, sister Suzuran."

"Are you and that boy together?" Suzuran questioned with crossed arms and a raised eyebrow. Alex blinked at the bluntness of the question.

There grew a silence in the music room as everyone thought about it.

"Well, there was that one time," Hikaru began thoughtfully, "where Kyoya-Sempai had pulled her to him and-"

"Not to mention his reaction at the beach." Kaoru added, nodding, "He was practically begging for her to wake up." Mitsukuni's eyes went wide in surprise,

"Eh? You mean Kyo-Chan and Lexi-Chan are dating?"

Mori spoke one syllable, "Yeah."

Hikaru and Kaoru gained identical grins and started to sing, "Alex and Kyoya-Sempai, sittin' it a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-!" They screamed when a highheel nearly got lodged into Hikaru's skull.

Alex had a dark aura surrounding her, a glare fixated on them, "What was that, darling brothers of mine?" They both gulped, paling considerably.

Benio spoke up angrily, realizing that there was something going on between those two, "We have told you that the lowly lifeforms of men such as them are only after one thing. You shall forever remain a maiden, for the Club's president may be a pretty little half-er," Benio began, turning to the rest of the Host Club with a hand on her hip and a fist in the air. ",but he shouldn't be using his looks to create a fictitious romance! Attempting to fool the heart of a pure young maiden is demeaning! Your so called club activities are nothing more than debasing macho fantasies!" The entire Host Club was watching now. "I promise you, I will bring you guys down! The Ouran HighSchool Host Club will be abolished!"

"All hail Zuka Club!"

Kyoya narrowed his eyes, "I get it now." Alex had latched back onto Kyoya after she and the rest of the Hosts had changed out of their costumes, leaving them back in their Ouran Uniforms. However, Alex, Mitsukuni, and Haruhi were wearing the Ouran vests and Shirts, while the twins were left in their white button-up with the tie, and Kyoya and Mori were the only ones wearing the actual blazer. Alex childishly stuck her tongue out at them, finding them even more obnoxious than the Host Club.

They're the ones trying to take down a club. The Host Club isn't.

Kyoya, with a hand around Alex's waist, pushed his glasses up and continued, "I understand your concerns, but do you think we can finish this later?"

Benio locked narrow eyes with Kyoya, "Are you saying that you're not going to face us?"

Kyoya shook his head with a smirk, "Not at all." He and the rest of the club, minus Haruhi, had moved over to Tamaki who was sleeping in a bed, "It's just that our president is still initially bed-ridden from the initial culture shock." He was holding a brown rattler for Tamaki, while Mori was holding a baby bottle.

Mitsukuni spoke, holding tightly onto his Usa-Chan, "You see, Tama-Chan is having his nappy-time right now."

"WAKE HIM UP!" Benio ordered, irritated.

Hikaru and Kaoru spoke, "Kids need to sleep to grow, you know?"

Alex nodded, "It would very rude to wake him up at such a crucial aging point in his life."

"Are you mocking me!?" Benio demanded.

Haruhi politely intervened, holding up a tray, "Excuse me, I made some coffee. Would you ladies like to have some?"

Benio raised a hand up to her forehead in relief as she exclaimed, "Why, yes! I would love some-aren't you just the sweetest little thing?"

Well, she is Haruhi. Alex thought as she nodded her head in agreement.

Suzuran commented with a bright smile, "You're a real pearl among swine!"

"You know," Benio began with a charming smile, "Coffee made by a maiden always has a more fragrant aroma."

"Good thing I don't make coffee then," Alex spoke, resting her chin on her arms as she rested her arms on the bed Tamaki was sleeping in, bored. She paused, "Actually, scratch that, I do." There were some guests who preferred it over tea, so whenever she went into the kitchen, she made some. Alex thinks coffee is disgusting, but coffee was coffee nonetheless. The guests never complained about it.

Haruhi laughed a little at the compliment, "This stuff's just instant."

Alex leaned back when Tamaki's eyes opened. Tamaki quickly kicked the covers back as he sat up, listening Hinagiku comment,

"Why don't the four of us have a little tea party? We can even invite the girl over there!"

They didn't even have time to blink before Tamaki had pulled Haruhi away from them and pushed her behind him, an arm out in front of her protectively as he started to lecture, "You guys are under the wrong impression or something! Don't you see that there's no productivity when women make love to each other!? If that's the case, then why did God make Adam and Ever-!" He screamed when Hinagiku appeared behind him and dumped her cup of hot coffee onto his hand.

Mitsukuni quickly ran over and started to blow on his finger as if it would help, commenting while he did so, "It looks scalded! It looks painful!" Tamaki had tears streaming down his face.

Alex screamed in alarm when a pair of arms snaked around her waist and picked up her bridal style, running over to Benio and Hinagiku, Haruhi in a forced embrace with Benio. "Now that we know what is going on, we can't allow these young maidens to stay here! We'll prepare their paperwork and have them transferred to Lobelia at once!"

"W-Wait!" Alex tried to protest, not wanting to leave Ouran, but was ignored as Benio continued,

"And we'll welcome them into the Zuka Club!"

Every single Hosts' eyes widened.

Some even looked a little pissed.

Some were worried.

And some were alarmed.

Haruhi quickly pushed herself away from Benio saying, "Hey, just wait a second, will ya?" Alex started to struggle in Suzuran's grip, wanting to be put down. The woman complied and the girl stumbled backwards before catching her balance.

"Freedom!" She cheered, before shouting in alarm as paranoia grew and ran to hide behind Haruhi.

"There seems to have been some misunderstanding here," Haruhi spoke, taking hold of the "heroine" role. She laughed and held her hands up, "I mean, first of all, you called Sempai a halfer! Sure, his hair's blonde, but it's probably because he dyed it and his eyes are blue because he wear colored contacts!"

Alex spoke, "Those are natural."

Mitsukuni nodded, "Yeah, Tama-Chan is a halfer!" Tamaki stood behind Mori who stood behind Mitskuni, rubbing the back of his head with a slight blush, "He's half-French and half-Japanese!"

A sweatdrop formed on Haruhi's face as she continued, "Well, uh, I don't think it's fair of you to pick on the Host Club because you don't think they have the same type of history as you!"

"We barely have any history," Hikaru spoke with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face. Stress lines formed on Haruhi's face as her shoulders slumped, "We were just founded two years ago."

Kaoru nodded, a hand behind his head, "Yeah, the boss founded it when he first started Highschool."

Haruhi gained a sour face as she twirled her finger lifelessly, "However, saying that the Host Club's activities are made just to satisfy their own appetites is just wrong..." She waited for an interruption, and when she didn't get one, she continued, "I mean, it's not like the Host Club's charging their guests or anything."

Kyoya spoke, a page on his laptop opened, "Well, I wouldn't call it a charge, but we do have a point system." A depressed aura surrounded Haruhi, "We offer priority services based on teh wining auctions and bids on our internet website. Check this out, Haruhi; Your used mechanical pencil? Just sold for a winning bid of thirty-thousand yen. Good for you." He leaned back and crossed his arms when Haruhi charged towards the laptop and slammed her hands on the table, screaming,

"WHAT!? But I though I'd lost that pencil!" She turned to glare at the older teen, "Why didn't you tell me about this before, Kyoya-Sempai!? I had no idea that you were collecting money!"

In the background, Alex was trying to tiptoe quietly away.

"Alex! Get backhere!" Alex shrieked,

"Yes, ma'am!" And ran over to Haruhi and Kyoya.

"Did you know about this?"

"W-Well, I knew that they did auctions and stuff, I-I didn't know about your pencil though..." Haruhi's anger at Alex died down a little, and she focused it back on Kyoya.

"Did you think we did all this as volunteers?" Kyoya questioned the Fujioka girl. He pushed up his glasses before crossing his arms once more, "While it's not much because of the expense of organizing events, we happen to make a small profit from online auctions.

"You can't sell other peoples things without permission-That's STEALING!"

Hikaru and Kaoru spoke, being the main perpetrators, "It wasn't stealing, you dropped that pencil on the floor."

"Along with Alex's cheshire cat key-chain," Kyoya added, pressing a few buttons on his laptop and causing said key-chain to pop up, "It sold for a total of fifteen thousand yen. That boy, Nagihiko, seemed rather excited to get it." Alex's head whirled around to stare at the laptop in shock, looking at the black and blue cat head that was grinning madly at her. It was Tim Burton's version of the Cheshire Cat and she loved that movie, she loved that key-chain.

Grinding her teeth together she growled, "What the hell, Kyoya? What the hell gave you the right to sell my key-chain!?" She turned her head to glare at him, deeply aggravated.

He didn't answer, merely looking down at her as his eyes hid behind his glasses.

"Tell me!" Her hands turned into fists, shaking at her sides. She remained looking at him, demanding an answer. "Well? Answer me, Kyoya!"

Hikaru quickly cut in, "It was your fault for leaving it lying around in your room."

"That's because I dropped it when I went to go eat breakfast that morning you dumbass!" She screamed at him, something taking over her. Grounding her teeth together, she growled, "You know what? Screw this, I'm out. Haruhi, can I spend the night at your place?"

"Sure, Alex."

"The poor thing, being fooled all this time!" Suzuran exclaimed, waltzing over to Alex in pity. Hinagiku nodded in agreement,

"Let's just leave these punks and go, right, girls?" She asked Haruhi this as well, cutting into her and Tamaki's "conversation".

Benio spoke, "Hold on, Hinagiku, these young maidens have had quite a day. We'll give you both some time to think about; We'll come back tomorrow for your answers." She placed her hands on both Alex and Haruhi's shoulders before walking, "Well, then, Adieu."

The nerve of those...Alex couldn't even think of a name, No-don't be angry, you never get angry. But they-ARGH! Turning her head at the exact same time as Haruhi, the Host Club looked at the two girls nervously.

"We better get going," Haruhi stated, voice dark, "We've got some thinking to do."

"Now that I think about it, an all-girls school does sound nice," Alex spoke, giving them all the darkest glare she could muster. "Who knows, maybe I'll even a get a girlfriend."

She turned her head just in time to miss Kyoya develop a dark aura. He stopped in his taking pictures of them being angry to think, debating on his choices and what action he should take. His first reaction was to call her name and talk to her, but his second was to wait and see how everything would turn out and plan things from there.

For once in his life, no, third time in his life, he was stumped.

The doors closed and Kyoya felt his left foot start to slide forward, urging him to chase after Alex and sort things out, but Tamaki's crying snapped him out of it and caused him to turn his head. Tamaki ran to Kyoya and demanded, "Why did you have to tell them the truth!? You just added fuel to the fire and now they're going to be part of the Zuka Club!"

"The facts are the facts," Kyoya replied calmly, placing a hand in his pocket and curling it up into a fist that no one else could see. Alex won't leave. I refuse to let her. I won't let her join Lobelia. "Don't be an idiot, Tamaki, the chances of them joining Lobelia are slim." Even though Alex said she might and even though about-His jaw clenched. No. She was his. He wouldn't let her get away so easily. He already knew how she felt about him-what happened in her room at the beach was proof of that. She kissed him. He didn't kiss her, she kissed him.

Alex doesn't lie about her feelings and lead people on for her own gain. No, when it came to such type of feelings, she was honest. Alex wasn't a manipulative person.

"Maybe we should've asked before we sold her pencil and Lexi-Chan's key-chain on the internet," Mitsukuni suggested, frowning childishly.

Kaoru nodded, a hand on his chin thoughtfully, "Yeah, for all we know, the pencil was a keepsake from Haruhi's mother. And the key-chain could be a momento from one of her "Siblings"."

Hikaru looked at his brother and shook his head, "Nah, the pencil was just a freebie from an electronic store, and the key-chain was something that boy Nagihiko gave her."

Tamaki placed a hand against the window, saying as his hair covered most of his face, "Gentlemen, just think about it. Alex may be sarcastic and Haruhi blunt, but if they had to choose, we know that they both tend to favor men's clothing. And besides, when Haruhi first joined the Host Club, didn't she tell us that getting fussed over by a bunch of girls wouldn't be that bad? Not to mention, Alex has already made so many female friends from her time in the Host Club...she even talked about getting a girlfriend. With her and Haruhi's looks and personalities, it wouldn't be so hard. Why didn't I realize this before? Perhaps they would be a better match for the girls. They'd be better of with...the...Zuka Club."

It makes sense! After all, they're the perfect "Girls' School" stereotype!

Mitsukuni started to cry, "They're gonna transfer!?"

Kaoru spoke in shock, "Yeah, they're perfect for a girls' school..."

"What are we gonna do!?" Hikaru questioned, alarmed, "The Zuka Club will be able to get Alex into their classes easy!"

"And with Haruhi's brain, passing the Lobelia scholarship test will be a piece of cake! Alex isn't the smartest, but she'll be able to pass easily enough!" Kaoru panicked. He and his brother seemed to have forgotten that Alex was living with them.

Kyoya added, the slightest furrow of his eyebrows tipping off his worry for the girls, "And Lobelia will be able to pay of the eight million yen Haruhi owes us."

"Everyone, calm down!" Tamaki ordered, "It'll be alright! Listen to what I have to say!" He turned from the window to look at them with a smirk, sweat beading down his face in worry as he raised a finger, "I have an idea."

May 19, 2014

It was after classes when the Zuka Club found Haruhi and Alex waiting outside the club room door. Benio and Suzuran looked at the two with a smile,

"Oh, my! Alex, Haruhi!" Suzuran exclaimed, smiling at the two girls.

"We came back just like we promised!" Hinagiku told them, mainly directing it towards Haruhi. Benio looked at the girls with a slight blush on her face, a pleased smile forming.

"You were waiting for us outside the doors on purpose?"

Alex blinked, before stating sarcastically, "Oh, yeah, totally. 'Cause I totally didn't want to leave Haruhi alone."

Haruhi sent Alex a slight look before saying, "No, we were told to go in at the same time as you. To be honest, everyone was acting a little strange this morning."

"Whelp, lets go in!" Alex stated, trying to hide the guilty feeling that was gnawing at her in the chest from when she snapped at Kyoya yesterday. Placing her hands against the neatly made doors, she opened them and stared into a completely black room.

In the darkness, she could make out figures standing as they each sang,

"Ouran~!"

"Ouran~!"

"Ouran..."

"Ouran~!" Alex froze, recognizing that voice anywhere-however, she didn't expect him to be able to sing. Sure, he had the same voice as the dude who play Sebastian Michealis, but, different person, y'know? She didn't expect Kyoya to sing.

"OURAN~!" The childish loudness in that one was easy to pinpoint as Mitsukuni, which meant that the one before Kyoya was Mori and before him was the twins. Which meant-

The lights flashed on, and what laid before them was a scene that would make even the Zuka Club's hearts flutter.

Tamaki sang, clad in white, gold, and red outfit with white and gold peacock feather connected to his back, "Ouran~!" He could sing too.

Mori was dressed in a blue, white, and gold Uniform with a tambourine in his hand. Mitsukuni's ballgown was in many different shades of pink, and he had hair extensions that were pulled back in a tiny pony that was tied in a bow, his hair curled and fluttering down to his elbows. The Hitachiin brothers wore blue and light sea-green colored dresses, with hair extensions that were tied in twin-tails and stopped just below their shoulders, curled madly. The ones who were dressed as girls were wearing way too much make up.

And Kyoya...

Alex's breathing hitched. Okay, either they were trying to be flashing and look like princess and princesses out of a fairytail going by yesterdays theme with the whole "Knights and Princess", or Kyoya did that on purpose.

His outfit was mainly purpose, with black a secondary color for the trim. He wore a white undershirt with one of those "Poofy" collars that had a bright amethyst gym in the middle of it. Underneath the jacket sleeves, you could see some of the ruffles from the undershirt poking out of it and he held a white-gloved clad hand over his chest with a smile on his face. His hair was slight spiked and pushed to the left, as to give it a more "Royal" feeling.

Alex bit her lip, staring around at everyone as she felt laughter trying to bubble up in her throat.

"-Host Club welcomes you!" They finished singing, and Alex heard Kyoya's the clearest. Alex was shocked at first, but now she was doing her best to keep a poker face.

Hikaru smiled at them mischievously, fluttering his eyelashes exaggeratedly, "Oh, Haruhi and Alex darlings, come right on in!" He tried to make his voice soung like a girls, so he sounded like a boy before they hit puberty.

Mitsukuni twirled over, exclaiming, "Look Haru-Chan, Lexi-Chan, I'm a Princess now! Aren't I cute?"

"What the hell is the meaning of this!?" Benio demanded, "Are you insulting of our culture!?"

"Insulting?" Tamaki asked, surprised, before giving a smile, "No way. This is all according to my calculations! A secret life and death recipe, that for commoners, would make even an infant stop crying! It's the "Getting two birds with one Stone", the "Freebie Campaign"!" He continued with a smile, making dramtic movements as he spoke, "You all have lived sheltered lives in Lobelia, so you might not know that Commoners are weak."

Alex pouted and pulled a frozen Haruhi into a hug, "How rude."

Everyone seemed to ignore her and she looked around the room, mainly at the dressed-up Hosts, and locked eyes with Kyoya. Something seemed to pass through them, a silent conversation, when he smirked at her.

Alex tensed, feeling her eyes go wide and her face hot. D-Damn him...Damn rich people. Yeah, let's go with that. Damn rich people. She swallowed, forcing her gaze away as she looked back at Tamaki who was still talking.

"-distracted by the Zuka Club, Mais! But, if you both choose our club, in addition to brothers, you get sisters as an extra!"

Tamaki-Father and Occasional Sister

Kyoya-Mother and Occasional Brother

Mori-Brother

Mitsukuni-Brother and occasional Sister

Hikaru and Kaoru-Brothers but occasional Sisters

Tamaki quickly moved over to Haruhi and Alex, accidentally knocking them both down with his feathers as he tried to show them to them "Haruhi, Alex, aren't these pretty!? They're made with real feathers!" He blinked in confusion when they vanished, "Huh? Haruhi, Alex?" He turned and watched them get knocked down again, "Haruhi! Alex!" He quickly ripped the feathers off and slammed them angrily into the ground, "DAMN YOU TAIL FEATHERS! HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTERS FALL DOWN!?"

Hikaru and Kaoru quickly strolled up in their dresses, "We're the Hitachiin sisters! Which one of us is prettier?"

"I'm just teasing you," Hikaru whispered to them in his girl voice. Kaoru tried to giggle, and Alex was finding it even more difficult to not laugh.

"Listen, Haru-Chan! Lexi-Chan! You two can call me "Big Sis" from now on, okay?" He whispered to them.

Mori and Kyoya walked over, Mori smiling as he played the tambourine. Kyoya walked over with his arms crossed, telling Haruhi as he looked down at her, "I don't really care if you do, but do remember to call me "Big Brother" from this point on. Understand?"

Haruhi didn't speak, still frozen as she stared at the Host Club. Alex quickly frowned in confusion,

"Wait, what am I supposed to call you?" A smirk crossed his face and he quickly wrapped an arm around Alex's waist, pulling her to him as he lifted her chin up with his other hand, leaning close and whispering in her ear,

"Do you really want to find out?"

She froze and her face, if possible, seemed to become a volcanic red. Stuttering profusely, she couldn't even speak, her eyes diverting to look everywhere but at Kyoya.

Benio took sight of the scene and snapped, "Why, you...idiots! Do you really think you can win either of them over like this!? Cheap tactics like that," She glared pointedly at Kyoya, who merely stared at her with a slight smirk, "or otherwise!?" She shifted her glare to the rest of the club. "I've had enough of your fooling around!"

Alex couldn't take it anymore when Haruhi started to laugh. The urge was too much. Pushing herself away from Kyoya, she landed on her back, snorting a couple of times before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.

The two were laughing so hard they couldn't breathe-they couldn't talk.

"I-I don't even get what you're-what you're trying to do! I-I knew you were-a bunch of-goofballs-but jeez!"

"Call-Call Nine-One-One! I-I can't-!" Alex tried to stop laughing, she did, but it was practically impossible.

Especially when the twins and Mitsukuni stuck their faces in her and Haruhi's, asking, "Are we really that funny? Come on, call us "Big sister"! Say it, please! SAY IT! BIG SISTER!"

"Never!"

"Come on-Cut it out!" The three finally stopped and Alex and Haruhi were finally able to stop laughing.

"What the-What the hell is wrong with you guys?"

"Yeah, why'd you do this?"

Hikaru spoke, placing his hands behind his head as he looked away admitting, "We did this because we didn't want you guys to leave the Host Club."

"You do realize I live with you and Kaoru, right?" Alex deadpanned, before breaking out into a highly amused grin. The two froze, seeming to have forgotten that fact.

Haruhi smiled, causing Benio to frown and ask, "Maidens, have you-"

"Yeah, I have." Haruhi spoke, nodding as she stood and brushed her pants off, "Ah, my stomach hurts now..." She laughed a little again before saying, "Sorry, but your club's not for me. I think the idea of a Girls' School is great, and your view are very unique and interesting. But I came to this school with a goal and a plan for my future. So while I appreciate your offer, I really already knew that I was never gonna leave Ouran Academy." She smiled at them kindly.

They then looked at Alex and she shrugged, "Eh, All my friends are here. What's the point of switching schools if they don't go with me?"

Tears formed in many of the Hosts' eyes, but Mitsukuni and the twins were the only ones who tackled Alex, "L-Lexi-Chan!"

"Haruhi, Alex!" Tamaki cheered, tears streaming down his face. Mori jingled the tambourine while Kyoya gained a glint in his eyes. "Wait a minute...If you both didn't have any thoughts about leaving, why did you both go home early yesterday and act so mad!?"

"Yeah, and why did you spend the night at Haruhi's place?" The twins demanded, sending Alex some looks.

She shrugged and Haruhi was the one to answer, snapping, "How would you feel if someone stole something of yours and sold it without your permission!? I really liked that mechanical pencil-it was easy to write with! Besides," She calmed down, "The supermarket had a special "One Day Only" sale and Alex asked if she could come with me.

"WHAT!? That's it!?" Tamaki couldn't believe it. Kyoya spoke next, addressing Alex this time.

"Why did you talk about going to Lobelia like you were actually thinking about it, then? And getting a girlfriend?" Alex looked up at him in surprise, and took note of how his features seemed to be tense, as if holding back from doing something...

"Huh, oh, I was mad. Which surprised me since I usually don't get "mad". I usually just get annoyed or something." She rambled slightly before shaking her head, "Eh, I really liked that key-chain though. It was Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat. Nagihiko got it for me one day after saying he knew how much I liked Tim Burton's movies. He's cool." She shrugged again, acting rather nonchalant about the whole situation.

"Benio?" Suzuran asked hesitantly, unsure. The woman nodded.

"Yes, I know..." She turned to Alex and Kyoya, who was slowly gaining a dark and scary aura, and Haruhi and Tamaki, who was complaining, "I'm now going to give up on you maidens. I sweat this to you...Someday we'll come and rescue you both from this place! And when we do, we'll abolish the Ouran Host Club!"

Alex commented bluntly, unimpressed, "Yeah, good luck with that. Kyoya's family has a private police force of one hundred Officers. Not to mention that twins pranks they pull on people. You'll have to get through all of them first."

Benio smiled at her, "I can't wait, my maiden. Well then, adieu." They watched as they twirled down the hallway laughing, only to see them all slip on banana peels.

Alex took a step closer to Kyoya, narrowing her eyes, "We meet again...Banana Peel Monkey." The Monkey stopped what it was doing and turned, locking eyes with Alex. Slowly, it took a bite of another banana. Giving it a dark look, Alex screamed and charged towards it, raising her right fist up in the air as the Monkey let out a war cry.

Alex was almost there when the Monkey let out a laugh, and she barely had time to look down before she had stepped on the banana peel and was sent flying forwards, crashing roughly against the ground.

...

"Ow-! ...I hate disinfectants." She grumbled childishly, Kyoya treated her arm that she had cut on a pencil she landed on. It was surprisingly a rather deep gash, as she had landed on it, then rolled multiple times in the floor while it was lodged into her arm. She has the greatest of luck, doesn't she? "Ow!"

"Stop moving and it won't hurt as much." He ordered, reaching out to grab some first-aid tape from the kit. Alex was currently sitting on the counter, and Kyoya was leaning down and treating her wounds as usual. "This is why you shouldn't pick fights with Renge's monkey."

"But it's not my fault it has something against me! It's always the reason why I'm tripping! It keeps throwing Banana peels everywhere and its always me who steps on them!"

"Tamaki trips on them too."

"Well, yeah, but-" She pouted childishly, giving up on the argument with Kyoya. She watched him finish wrapping the bandage tape around her arm and stand up, moving to leave the room. His shoulders were still tense, holding back from doing something. Alex didn't know what, and she hesitated uncertainly before saying, "Wait!" Kyoya stopped, just at the kitchen door, "I-Uh, I'm sorry...for yelling at you... I'm sorry. I-I really am, so...Uh, yeah." She swallowed and turned to look at the wall, coughing slightly before looking back at Kyoya and diverting her gaze again.

Slowly turning around, Kyoya placed the first-aid kit on the table before swiftly moving back over to Alex, causing the girl watch him in confusion. She quickly gripped her injured left arm gently and leaned back in surprise when he placed his hands on either side of her on the counter, trapping her.

"Do you really want to be forgiven?" He asked her, acting completely different than he did when he was still in his "Brother" outfit and everyone else were "Sisters". Alex then understood why; When Kyoya wants a certain reaction out of her, he does something that's completely out of character, but when he doesn't he's himself. This is when he's being himself. This was a face that very few people, possibly only Alex, have seen.

"I-I...Yeah..." If she didn't want to be forgiven, then why does he think she apologized? At the close distance, Alex felt her lips feel dry and she licked them, feeling something bubble in her stomach. It was an urge, she understood that, but what was it for? It was then that she realized she was staring at Kyoya's lips and realized she wanted to kiss him. She quickly diverted her gaze as he pulled away. Damn it, what am I doing? Bad Alex-Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad! Bad thoughts! She really hated herself sometimes. Slowly, she turned her gaze back to Kyoya and watched him pull of his glasses, setting them on the table before moving back towards her.

What's he doing?

"If that's the case..." He trapped her again and Alex tensed, expecting something but not sure of what it was she was expecting. She kind of figured he might try to kiss her again, or just whack her upside the head with his book like he normally does. He leaned closer and Alex felt the good chills run down her spine when they locked eyes.

They were such a lovely color, She had to admit.

He moved in and whispered in her ear, "Don't ever do that to me again." And pulled back, before leaning forward and capturing her lips with his, claiming them. Alex's eyes went wide before they quickly closed, giving in and attempting to kiss him back. She felt one of his hands cup her cheek and another rest on her shoulder. Her hands slowly reached up before resting behind his head, her hands tangling themselves in his hair. His soft hair.

Alex loved Kyoya. She loved him and all his evil Shadow King-ly-ness. His bi-polar-ness with emotions, his oddly sweet side that rarely showed, and despite how it bugged her that he bottled his emotions in, she loved that part of him too. It was what made him him. It was what made him Kyoya.

And he made her feel safe, loved, cared for. She knew as long as she was with him she would be happy, as long as he was happy she'd be happy.

She didn't want to leave him. That was a choice she could never make. She wouldn't leave Ouran Academy and switch schools unless he came with her.

Kyoya finally pulled away, a hint of a smile on his face. Alex's face was a bright red, both from kissing Kyoya and breathlessness.

"Y-You confuse me...so freaking much." She gasped, trying to calm herself and poor frantic heart, slightly dazed. Are they together? Are they couple? What were they? "I-I don't get-Why?" She paused to catch her breathe the rest of the way and look at Kyoya, "Are we together or-or-what are we? I'm confused. You kiss me then you act like nothing happened and then you kiss me again and tell me you won't let anyone have me and acts like nothing happened and then you kiss me again-I'm so confused."

He looked at her, glasses still removed, and asked as he brushed his bangs out of his face, "What do you want to be?"

The blush on her face darkened and Kyoya looked at her in amusement, before reaching into his blazer and pulling out something.

"I'm teasing. Here, I got this in replacement of that key-chain. I noticed you favor stuffed animals." He moved back over and placed something soft and fuzzy in her hands. "And, I don't really care for sweets as I have stated previously, if you want we can go for icecream again this weekend. Entirely up to you, however."

Alex stared in shock at the stuffed black-and-blue Cheshire Cat that lay in her arms, a mad grin on its face. It...was...so...cute! Alex jumped up off the counted and tackled a surprised Kyoya in a hug, "Yes! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're the best!" His hidden sweet side was showing again. Pulling away slightly, but enough so that she was still holding onto him, she looked up at him with a warm smile, "Thank you Kyoya, I'd love that. And the kitten's so adorable!" She reverted back to her childish side again, hugging the cat before hugging Kyoya tightly again.

Uncertainly, Kyoya wrapped an arm around Alex's waist, "Your welcome...," and one around her back. He was getting better, but he still had some issues with people contact.

Thinking it in her head first, before whispering softly enough that he couldn't hear, "I love you..."

If Kyoya had been able to hear it, who knew how he would've reacted.
