Getting this out of the way

I don't own OHSHC, only my own OC's who you should know by now.

This is fast because it is the weekend, updates will be slower from now on

Chapter 1

The Garden

Ouran Academy was as always overly ostentatious on Monday morning as Jasmine stepped out of her mother's car. "Enjoy your day" Erica muttered, glaring at the wedding cake like building. She had never approved of the academy, much preferring the Christian boarding school Jasmine had attended in Middle school.

"Yes mother" Jasmine nodded. Opening the back door to take out her bag. "You have the garden society meeting today yes?" Erika blinked, her mouth opened to form an 'o'. "I left a note for the servants to make some sort of snack to go with tea, you are meeting in the Japanese garden this week?"

"Yes, we are." With a nod Jasmine closed the car door and stepped back. Watching as her mother drove off, at a slightly faster speed then when they had arrived.

"Jasmine-chan!" Yumi called from the stairs of the academy. "Hurry up, we have to talk to Kumiko-chan and Mai-chan"

"Eto-san and Yoshihara-san both eat lunch with us Yumi-san, we can talk to them then."

"But we have to tell them before you announce it the rest of the class, we can't let people like Chikanatsu-san find out before them!" Jasmine sighed and hurried up to the entrance to the large building.

"Kurogane-san, Bunya-san. Wait up!"

"Oh, Muraoka-san" Jasmine turned to look at the dark skinned boy.

"Shigeru-kun, call me Yumi-san already" Yumi stamped her foot on the marble entrance tile.

"Hehehe, Sorry Yumi-san" the boy stood there scratching the back of his head, bag tossed over one shoulder.

"Well hurry up!" Yumi grabbed Jasmines arm and started trotting towards their classroom.

"Hey!" Shigeru jogged up the stairs, taking them two at a time to catch up to the two girls. The three of them hurried through the halls of Ouran, towards the slightly less crowded second year hall.

Looking rather odd as a group, Kurogane Jasmine the shortest at only 5ft with tightly bound strawberry blond hair, tan skin and icy blue eyes, Bunya Yumi a more respectable 5ft6 with loose shoulder length black curls pale olive skin and dark brown eyes and Muraoka Shigeru with short curly black hair, dark skin and green eyes, looming at 6ft3. The last few members of the group Eto Kumiko and Yoshihara Mai stood waiting outside of their classroom. Both with long brown hair, pale skin and hazel eyes the cousins looked more like twins.

The five students huddled together on the other side of the hallway against the windows at Yumi's signal. "Jasmine-chan has an announcement" Yumi stage whispered, her characteristic grin more a grimace.

"Kurohane-san, what is it? Are you pregnant?" started Kumiko.

"Sick?" added Mai.

"Dying" they whispered together. Shugeru started to freak slightly.

"Eh? Kurogane-san, are you okay? Do you need to sit down?"

The cousins burst out laughing. Jasmine sighed "I'm fine Muraoka-san, I'm moving into class 2A tomorrow."

The cousins stopped laughing. The four friends looked at the fifth member of their group in shock. Having only known her a few months they were not going to miss her much, just that they were starting to settle on the idea that there were know five members of their little group and the idea of going back to just four was unsettling.

"Why?" Mai was more serious now, a frown rather than a smirk on the teens face.

"My father has made a business deal that means I will be moving into another class."

"Like when you moved into this one to be with 'the smelly one'?" Kumiko sniggered slightly.

Jasmine smiled at the nickname "Sort of."

"So, who's the lucky Guy?" Mai's smirk was back.

"That exact part of the deal isn't finalised so I don't know, you'll have to wait until the announcement." Jasmine clenched her hands at the lie, she hated lying.

"Not fair!" Yumi cried. "What if it's Suoh-kun?"

Mai and Kumiko gasped. Then burst into laughter. "Can you imagine, Kurogane-san and Suoh-san, oh she would hate him"

Shugeru chuckled. Yumi glared more. Opening her mouth the scold the two other girls they flinched when the bell rang. Jasmine bowed to the others and walked over to the door and then up to the teacher.

"Sensei, about my transfer?" She attempted to be polite to the over the top teacher.

"Yes of course, you must announce it to the class, best to do it now, oh I will miss you" The man leaned down to pat the shorter girl who bowed slightly and walked to the front of the class.

The man sighed before drifting to the front of the class and putting down the roll. The class fell silent at the sound of heavy book hitting the desk. "Now, Kurogane-kun has an announcement" he nodded to the girl.

"I am transferring to Class 2A as of tomorrow, I have enjoyed my time in this class, however short." Jasmine bowed and walked to her seat next to Yumi, how she met the girl in the first place. The class buzzed with whispers some louder than others.

"Well thank you Kurogane-kun, now on to the lesson first would…" Jasmine tuned out the rest of the introductory babble placing her bag on her desk she reached for her books, blinking when a note landed on her arm.

Unfolding the not reviled Chikanatsu-san's neat handwriting. 'Moved on to the next one huh? Whore' scrunching the paper Jasmine added it to the growing stack inside her desk. Finishing setting up for the class she ignored Yumi's worried glance and Chikanatsu's angry glare. Jasmine smiled at her friend and started taking notes as the teacher finally got into todays Literature lecture.

As classes finished for the day Jasmine collected her pile of notes and left them on the teacher's desk, Yumi looked on in curiosity as the teacher looked up at his student. "These have been passed to me during the last two months sensei, I thought they might interest you."

The teacher frowned and picked up the first note. His eyes widened and he glanced up sharply, Jasmine smiled slightly and walked out of the classroom, Yumi trotting to catch up.

"Jasmine-chan what was that?" Yumi puffed as she slowed to walk beside the smaller girl.

"Just finishing something, now you wanted to do something after school today?" Jasmine Smiled up at Yumi.

"Yes, come on then, let's go!" Yumi grinned and started to pull Jasmine up a flight of stairs and further into the main building.

The two girls hurried through the corridors before coming across an abandoned corridor. The 3rd Music room, the door was slightly ajar drew the gaze of the taller of the girls. The sounds of tea came from the room, and the smell of roses gained Jasmine's attention. Yumi beamed at her and nudged open the door to the cry of "Welcome, to the Ouran High School Host Club"

Jasmine blinked at the seven young men, well six young men and one first year of uncertain gender. All seven however were dressed in the Ouran boys uniform. Each holding a rose of a different colour.

The Blond in the middle smiled at Yumi, "Bunya-san, you brought a new guest"

Yumi giggled and nodded. "Suoh-san, this is Kurogane Jasmine, she will be moving into class 2A tomorrow. Jasmine smiled absently at Suoh, watching the other hosts. Glancing at the tall dark haired, lensed boy and the shorter brown haired student of uncertain gender.

"Well, welcome Kurogane-san, I am sure you will be welcomed into my class with open arms!" Suoh cried, throwing open his own arms in his joy at gaining a new class mate. Jasmine flinched away from his extravagance.

"Kurogane-san, do you want to sit with me and Takashi?" The young looking blond asked, enjoying almost being able to converse with a customer eye to eye.

"Well first we must introduce ourselves!" Suoh stepped forward while the smaller boy skipped back to the tallest of the boys.

"First the Hitachiins, Hikaru and Kaoru, the 'little devil types" The two ginger boys stepped forward with a wink, Jasmine noted how identical they were. "Next Morinozuka Takashi, the 'wild' type and Haninozuka Mitsukuni, the 'Loli-Shota' type." The tallest of the boys stood forward, the small blond boy on his shoulders. "Ootori Kyoya, the 'cool' type" The boy with glasses nodded towards the girls not looking directly at Jasmine. "Fujioka Haruhi, the 'natural' type." The student of uncertain gender smiled at Jasmine who smiled back, pushing Haruhi more into the box labelled 'girl' then before.

The tall blond boy stepped forward. "And lastly, me! Suoh Tamaki, the 'princely' type." He leaned forward with a white rose offered to the short girl who grimaced at the gesture. Turning to Yumi Jasmine opens her eyes wide.

"Why, oh why Yumi, this is beyond obscene. Who on earth does he think he is?" Jasmines voice rose as Yumi looked on in confusion. "I cannot believe the depravity inherent in this room, oh Lord have mercy on me, this is too much." Yumi cleared her throat.

"Ah, Jasmine-chan, Japanese please." Jasmine blinked and then blushed.

"Oh" Opening her mouth Jasmine was surprised when Kyoya chuckled slightly.

"Be glad Tamaki has a limited grasp of English Miss Kurogane." The Host Club stared at Kyoya for a moment.

"Kyoya, when did you learn English?" Tamaki questioned softly.

"Miss Kurogane, please don't think badly of Tama-chan, he only means good." Mitsukuni stated quietly. The stares turned to him.

"Honey too?" Tamaki cried.

"Master Ootori, about Fujioka-san, I cannot determine the gender of your club mate" Jasmine turned on Kyoya.

"Ah, Haruhi is in a bit of a delicate position at the moment Miss Kurogane, if you would leave that problem be for the moment…" Kyoya glanced at the student in question, who had glanced over at the mention of her name.

"Of course Ootori-san." Jasmine nodded.

Kyoya nodded in return and walked off to entertain several seated guests.

"Um, Kurogana-san? Do you know Kyoya-sempai from somewhere?" Haruhi pondered the glances between the pair.

"Our families have been discussing business arrangements recently." Yumi glanced sharply at Jasmine. Opening her mouth to ask she paused when Jasmine shook her head. "Later Yumi-san"

Yumi nodded and settled in, walking over to join the other guests at Tamaki's station.

Kyoya wondered back to the hosts clustered around Jasmine, "Well, your guests are waiting gentleman, and Kurogane-san, I believe your mother is waiting for you?"

"Jasmine glanced at the clock and nodded, bowing to the hosts she turned and walked out of the room, leaving the host pondering the nature of the business agreements between the two families. "Her Family run several medical schools and a chain of Chemists. They wish to start research and we want more access to a supply of well trained staff. It is a mutually beneficial agreement." Kyoya explained to the other hosts. Now, I believe we have guests..?"

The other hosts scattered and Kyoya glanced at the door his glasses flashing.
