Prologue: the black rose Marcus Lee

The rich don't know want or hunger, me my entire life was just one big war against the man. My name is Marcus Fitzpatrick Lee, son to a mother who came down with leukemia early into my life, and son to a father who owns one of the biggest tech firms in Japan. He never even showed up for my birth, and when I was born, he divorced my mom and left her to be by herself.

She raised me in san Bernadino, California to try and be the best I could be wanting me to get the best education possible but sometimes a parent who is unable to care for her son leaves him open to outside influences. In this case I found my family in the local gang known as the fangs. It was a big and really dangerous gang that had ties to the yakuza, apparently the heads were yakuza who came over here to spread the influence of the yakuza to the states. We were pretty vicious too heck I got kicked out of like 9 schools before senior year of high school because of my gang ties.

Things took a turn for the worst however when I turned 16 and mom passed away. Her last words still haunt my dreams.

"Marcus you gotta grow old, and be a good man, live by your own rules and die making god smile" she said to me on her death bed.

It didn't change jack shit cause after she passed I found out that the reason she got leukemia was cause of her fucking corner cutting boss and his shitty friends who occupied the management rolls as her job in nuclear waste disposal. They allowed her to get radiation poisoning which led to her lukemia…I didn't let that go and I think ma was crying when I took a blow torch to her ex-boss's face and shot her shitty coworker.

It wouldn't have been long though till the law caught up with me and with no one to plead my innocence I stood alone.

"Marcus Lee, on the 15 cases of robbery, 2 cases of arson, 2 case of first-degree murder, illegally possession of lethal weapons, and illegally drinking underage you are hereby sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole and"

Suddenly a man in a well tailored suit ran in and said, "I am sorry your honor I have in my possession a pardon for Mr. Lee here at the request of his mother"

Raising my eyebrow I said, "oy shit head my mom's been dead for two weeks now!"

The man nodded and said, "and I am sorry it took so long mr lee but news reaches Japan very slow" before walking up to the judge handing him the pardon.

I bit my lip and said, "well your honor whats this pardon!"

The judge looked at me with disgust saying, "it seems your mom still had some big time connections! Cause this pardon states that your crimes are too be forgiven however you are to be deported from America and attend the prestigious Ouran Academy where you will be expected to get a fine education!"

With my eye twitching I said, "you got to be fucking joking me, is there another option? Like any school at all!"

The judge looked at me coldly and said, "its either you take the pardon Mr Lee or go to juvie and then to San Quentin state prison!"

Sighing I said, "fine, you are all lucky I know japanese" before having the handcuffs removed.

Being escorted by the police to a room where I was met with a kid around my age in a spiffy uniform with black hair and glasses was waiting.

"Mr Marcus Fitzpatrick Lee, a commoner who despite being part of one of the most violent gangs in the states has top marks in his classes, age 16, hair color jet black with violet highlights, skin color cinnamon brown, ethnicity Greek Japanese mix, height 6'8 weight 155 pounds, I must admit you are quite a sight for sore eyes" the man said putting down my file.

Looking at him I said, "oh look at what we got here a know it all, tell me mr four eyes why are you so interested in me?"

The man pushed up his glasses and said, "well Mr. Lee it just so happened you mother was my father's senpai when they attended ouran academy and she had it in her will that when she passed if you still didn't have a degree or your high school diploma you will be attending her alma mater, however I personally have added to it that you will also be joining the host club as a means of…easing the prinicpal's worries about having a commoner on school grounds"

With my eye twitching I leapt across the table and grabbed the pretty boy by his collar and said, "call me a commoner one more time motherfucker I dare you"

The guy gave me a calm look and said, "easy now Mr. Lee that is no way to treat your proverbial savior, anyways I think introductions are in order, I am Kyoya Ootori nice to meet you, you and I will be in the same class"

Sighing and letting him go I said, "this is all one big fucking joke huh, and a host club? You mean like an escort service? Sorry mate but I am no one's bottom bit-"

Before I could finish that sentence, however, Kyoya laughed saying, "oh heaven's no! Mr. Lee"

I stopped him and said, "for fucks sake just call me Marcus don't be so formal with me, I hate it"

Kyoya pushed up his glasses and said, "very well Mr. L- errrr Marcus, the host club is a way for guys with way to much time to flirt and seduce women with too much time as well, they live out their fantasies through us, and I think you would be an excellent black rose"

Confused I sighed and said, "look Mr. Ootori as much as I would like to ask what the fuck you meant, I smell like jail, my clothes are in rags and more importantly I'm starving, prison food is horrible"

Kyoya smiled and said, "very well Marcus, tell you what how about I take you out to eat and then to my place where we will get you a proper change of clothes and a shower, then tomorrow we will make our way to the private airport where we will depart for Japan"

Chuckling Kyoya walked out with me where I saw members of my gang waiting for me.

"yyyyoooo Marcus! Whats up dog! You got out scott free!" one of them laughed.

Shaking my head I said, "not really…im sorry guys but…I will be deported to japan after tomorrow"

The guys seemed shocked but didn't say much as much as they left which annoyed me since it feels like they just left me to the wolves. This made my eye twitch as I flipped them off.

Sighing I left with Kyoya to a limo which shocked me a bit realizing I was gonna be entering a world I had never been a part of. I would be going from the world of the hungry and fighting to the world of those to lazy and fat to fight for themselves.
