What Binds Us (OHSHC fan-fic)

Chapter One---Host Club and A Debt

The pic on the side is Haruhi Fujioka. Presently, she has the short hair.

"Haruhiiii!" I whined pathetically as I trailed behind her in the decadent hallways of Ouran," You're moving to fast!"

She sighed tiredly," You're moving too slow. Why are you going so slow?"

Groaning, I answered," YOu woke me up early and I only slept an hour."

Haruhi stopped and sent me a pitying look as I caught up,"Sorry you had such a bad night."

"Yeah, insomnia sucks," I admitted.

We'd been going to Ouran High for a full week and we were looking for a place to study; actually Haruhi was looking for a studyroom and me, a place to nap. The first two libraries we tried were packed with giggling girls and flirting boys; not a great place to sleep...or study. I leant my fatigued frame against my sister and snuggled into her ugly sweater. I don't know why she wouldn't just wear one of my many pullovers. I wasn't wearing the girls's uniform either, but that's because they're buttery yellow monstrosities. I wore an alternative that matched the colors of the boy uniform. ( She wears the uniform in the cover pic. That's her too). We roamed the halls looking for quiet room, all the while, I clung to her like a baby gorilla.

"I know you're tired, Miku, but please you can sleep once we find a study room," Haruhi promised in a motherly fashion," This music room looks promising."

At the word "music", I perked up a bit. Haruhi pushed the door open and we were attacked by a swirling tornado of deathly rose petals. I batted them away from my face vigorously as my sister calmly walked in, me right behind her.

"Welcome!" Came a chorus of pleasant male voices.

There in front of us were 6 boys; a pair of ginger twins, a tall blondie, a short blondie, a raven-haired boy with glasses, and freakishly tall boy with black hair. Besides the fact they were all extremely handsome, I couldn't help but notice they were all WAY taller than my little 5"0' self. The small blonde was the only shorter than me and it was only by a few inches.

"Oh, it's just the new commoners," the twins droned in unison.

"These are the honor students!" The tall blonde shouted," How overwhelmed you must feel here! You both are truly heroes to the poor."

"Haruhi and Muki Fujioka," the boy with glasses read from a laptop," Both here on scholarship. Aren't they in your class?"

The twins scrutinized us for a second,"Yeah, but theu don't talk to anyone but each other. He always studies and she's always sleeping."

Me and my sister's brows arch,"He?"

The cute, little guy spoke up,"You two are on scholarships?! You're like heroes, Haru-chane, and Mi-chan!"

"We're just scholarship students," I spoke blandly.

"Who're you calling, Haru-chan!?" Haruhi exploded angrily.

Sighing, I placed a calm hand on her face,"Chill out, Haru."

The head blonde spoke again,"I never would have thought the scholarship students looked like this or that one would be so openly gay."

"GAY?!" We both squeaked.

"Well, as the Ouran Host Club, we're here to serve, no matter the sexual orientation," the big blonde crooned.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" I asked getting a little upset with the moron.

His indigo eyes widened in shock,"Oh! Where are my manners? We are the OUran High School Host Club! Takashi Morinozuka the Wild Type, you can call him Mori; Mitsukuni Haninozuka the Boy Lolita Type, you can call him Hunni; Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachin the Little Devil Type; Kyouya Ootori the Cool Type, and then there's me; Tamaki Suoh the Prince Type. Now, which would you two prefer? Perhaps me?

He had the audacity to cup our chins and lean in close in a manner that supposedly would make any woman swoon. My response to his advances was to grab his thin wrist and flip his tall form across the room. I stepped in front of Haruhi in a protective way when she shivered in disgust. The blonde recovered quickly and dramatically pointed at me.

"You, you just flipped me!" Tamaki shouted with a comical amount of tears streaming down his face.

I gave him a blank look," Please don't touch me or Haruhi without our permission."

I give him credit for how quickly he collected himself; he suavely ran a hand through his gold locks," My apologies. I was not aware that it would offend you, mi'lady."

Sensing his apology was legit, I nodded approvingly," Don't forget next time. And why did you call one of us gay?"

One of the twins answered," Wha kind of sister doesn't know her brother is gay."

Haruhi and I froze," Brother?"

Tamaki leaned close to Haruhi's face, careful not to touch her,"Don't be shy now. Pick who you want to entertain you."

My sister freaked out so badly that she stumbled backward into a pedastal I only just noticed. As it toppled over, I saw her attempt to reach for the expensive-looking vase, ,only to fail and have it shatter on the marble floor. There was an awkward silence before someone spoke.

It was the twins speaking in unison once more," We were going to auction that off."

Being the responsible one, Haruhi offered," I'll pay you back."

"I doubt a commoner has 8,000,000 yen on you," Kyouya spoke coolly as he pushed up his glasses.

Haruhi began having an episode where she tried figuring out how much that really was while I face palmed and groaned tiredly," Are you okay, Mi-chan?"

I opened one gold, mossy eye and glanced to where the high male voice came," A little frustrated and tired."

"Would hugging Usa-chan help?" Hunni offered a fluffy, pink rabbit doll and I just couldn't say no.

Sensing the importance this bunny held for him, I took him carefully into my arms and stared at it blankly for a second before snuggling in the soft fabric," Thanks."

"Yay! I helped?" A sparkle appeared as he waited for my answer.

I giggled lightly before dipping my head the tiniest bit( he reached my chin) to kiss his forehead," You helped a lot, Cutie-chan."

My actions may seem weird, but he was so easy to love that I couldn't help but treat him as someone precious. I had a strong feeling that we would be close. I returned the bunny before walking over to Haruhi, who was stiff with shock and horror. I missed the pleasant look that passed between Hunni and Mori.

"What did I miss?" I asked while poking Haruhi in her cheek meat.

Tamaki spoke suddenly from a kingly chair," In order to pay back the yen your brother now owes, he is to be the Host Club's dog."

It was silent for a moment," Oh?" I 'hmmm'd' before laughing and patting Haruhi on the head," Good luck with that, Haru!"

Haruhi shot me a pleading look, the one she knew I was waiting for," Oh come one, Haru! You know I wouldn't just leave you hanging. Is there any use for another dog?"

Kyouya spoke with a wide smirk," I'm sure we can work something out."

I just grinned all cheesy having no idea what I was getting myself into.
