Chapter 3

The three from Commons Kingdom stared at the luxurious castle in awe. It is slightly larger than Haruhi's castle, and far more dramatically decorated. If the castle is just as lovely on the inside as the outside, the Haruhi figured that maybe the king of Ouran isn't that bad. After all, he likes his home to be very detailed, so Haruhi figures he must be organized.

"Hey, you alright?" Ritsu asks. Haruhi turned her head towards him.

"Yeah...?" Haruhi answers back, tilting her head to the side. Tomoko waltz around Haruhi, playfully grabbing her hands.

"You look cared, so don't be!" Tomoko says.

Haruhi nods, and gently takes her hands out of Tomoko's. Scared? Haruhi's hardly scared. She's more along the lines of annoyed with the entire trip, why is a meet and greet like even necessary for her to find a husband? It might be fun for other princes and princess's, but for Haruhi, this is just something to do but to not look forward to. Ignoring her thoughts, Haruhi walks to the castle doors, only for the gatekeeper to stop her.

"I'm sorry kid, but no villagers allowed." He says.

Haruhi squints for a second, clearly confused. "I am not a villager, sir. I am supposed to be in there right now."

"That's what they all say. Look kid- You think you are the first one to come 'ere saying that you are destined to be in that castle because the prince makes your heart go all doki doki~ Well, you're not. You're the first boy, maybe, but not the first villager. So please-"

The gatekeeper stops once he see's Ritsu's glare. He trembles slightly, before unlocking the castle doors and stepping aside. "Have fun, Tamaki's in his bedroom, and be safe!" He says, before running away. Ritsu sighed, and Tomoko placed a hand on his shoulder while grinning. Not wanting to waste more time, Haruhi has already started to open the doors. She peaked her head in. The castle as bright, and has many roses decorated in each corner. A bunch of workers were all standing at the entrance, bowing.

"Welcome!" They all say.

Tomoko snorted, before pursing her lips together. "That's slightly creepy, isn't it?

"Creepy, you say?"

The three from Commons all jump at the sudden voice. Spinning around, Haruhi see's a young man, only slightly older than her, standing behind her. He seemed to have dark green hair and a pale complexion, but it is hard to see any of him under his dark purple cloak. He also has a yellow cat puppet placed onto his left hand, is he a performer perhaps?

"Yep! Creepy!" Tomoko exclaims.

Kasanoda makes an odd face,before mumbling quickly. "Kindalikeyouwhenyoujustrandomlyappearbehindusdude."

"Do you work in this castle?" Haruhi asks, causing the man to gasp.

"Oh yes, yes I do! My name is Umehito Nekozawa, my family fights in the royal army, and I am prince Tamaki's guard." He says.

Kasanoda blinks a couple of times. "You're a guard!?"

Nekozawa nods. "Which reminds me, all guards, helpers, and basically anyone who came with the prince's have to stay out back."

"What?! Whyyyyy?" Tomoko whines, sneering.

"The king wants the prince's to all be alone." He answers, signaling or her and Ritsu to follow him.

Pouting, Tomoko walks behind him, each step attempting to step on his large cloak. Kasanoda briefly bows to Haruhi, before joining the other two out to the back.

Now that she is alone, Haruhi walks around the first floor. She's astounded about how... pink, it is. Even so, it is lovely and decorated amazingly. Heck, Haruhi might send a letter to her father recommending a renovation of the castle.

"I'm so sorry prince Honey!" A voice screeches out. Startled, Haruhi walks to the kitchen to investigate.

A girl with black hair, tied into low ponytails is standing in the middle of the kitchen covering her eyes with her hands. Another girl with brown hair, pulled back by a lime green headband, also seems to be panicking with her.

"Marika, what do we do?! He'll be upset we ran out of strawberries!" The brown haired girl shouts.

Marika shakes her head quickly. "I don't know! I don't wanna upset Honey!"

Deciding she should help, Haruhi gently places a hand on the brown haired girls shoulder. The girl looks back, somewhat surprised. "My name is Haruhi Fujioka, I'm from Commons Kingdom. What's wrong?" She asks. The two girls go red, just to shake their heads to make their cheeks go back to their normal color. The brown haired girl bows her head.

"I am Ayumi Munakata, prince Haruhi." She says. Haruhi blinks a couple of times.

Prince?

"And, I am Marika Mikamo. The problem is that we made all these cakes, but the realized none of them has strawberries on it!"

Ayumi tightly grips her own hair. "And strawberries are Prince Honey's absolute favorite!"

The two cooks start screaming and fumbling around in the kitchen. That's it? Haruhi looks at the table to see at least 15cakes of all different flavors placed there. Deadpanning, Haruhi turns to look at the girls again.

"It seems that prince Honey really enjoys cake!" She awkwardly proclaims.

Marika and Ayumi bite into a handkerchief. "Yes!"

"So... Why don't you improvise? He likes cake, so if he's that upset about no strawberries, just decorate the cakes with other sweet fruit, I'm sure he won't be upset at all." Haruhi says. The two girls stare at Haruhi, before smiling at each other.

"That's a wonderful idea prince Haruhi, thank you!" Marika says, bowing.

Haruhi smiles at them, before backing out of the kitchen. So far, the entire castle has been nothing but beautiful, and strange. Haruhi is almost afraid of ho the prince acts, because his castle... Is pretty problematic. Walking back towards the entrance, Haruhi spots two well dressed young men standing at the doorway. One is very tall, another very short.

The taller one seems to be stoic at first glance. He has a tan complexion, dark eyes, and styled spiky black hair. His height almost made him look frightening, but Haruhi has no reason to be scared of him.

The shorter is is completely opposite in looks, and from what Haruhi can tell, completely opposite in personalities too. He has honey blonde hair, big bright brown eyes, and has a very babyish looking face.

"Woooow~! Look Takashi, Tamaki was telling the truth about someone from Commons Kingdom coming!" The shorter one exclaims.

The taller one releases a quiet grunt. "Make sure to be polite Mitsukuni."

"Okay, hi! I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but people call me Honey!" He exclaims, Haruhi nods.

"Because your kingdom is called Honey." Haruhi states, not really asking.

Honey vigorously shakes his head. "Nope! And this is my cousin, Takashi! He's the prince of Mori Kingdom, and people call him Mori!"

Haruhi deadpans, but the smiles at the two. "I am Haruhi Fujioka, I am the prince-"

""WAAH! WHAT DO WE DO!?" A voice screams, cutting her off.

The three of them flinch at the sudden noise, but then Honey laughs. "Looks like Tama-Chan is excited as always!"

Mori grunts in agreement, and Haruhi tilts her head to the side. "That screech was the prince?! Wow." She says.

Suddenly, four young men walk down the large staircase. Haruhi couldn't really see any o them well, but she could make out one figure in particular... Because he is being carried down the stairs by the tree other princes.

"Jeez boss, chill out." A light voice says.

The one being carried thrashed around. "NO! We aren't prepaaaaaaared!"

The three carrying him stop once the reach the end of the walk, and tosses him closer to Haruhi. He whines, but picks himself up. Now that he isn't being carried like a bag, Haruhi could see him better.

This one has pale blonde hair, and violet eyes. He, like Mori, was very tall. But unlike Mori, he has a dramatic and playful glint in his eyes. After her time spent at the Ouran castle, it's clear to Haruhi that this is the prince, Tamaki.

"..."

"..."

"Welcome to Ouran Kingdom!" He proclaims, holding his arms up in the air.

End Chapter

A/N: Sorry that this was so late! I had to deal with some drama. On a brighter note, I guess this story has potential because it has already been stolen and re uploaded on wattpad as a Maid Sama fanfiction by someone. Don't worry, everything's been taken care of, and all is right with the world again! But guys, seriously. It's not okay to steal someones plot/idea/story. Even if you slightly change it, re type it, or upload it for another fandom, you are stealing it and that's not okay.

-ON A BRIGHTER NOTE-

The host club is now all together!

~Marika and Ayumi are customers of Honey and Mori
