A mushroom sigh came out of your mouth. Wandering around the halls aimlessly, you could’ve sworn you went down this hall before…
“You know, if you’re going to follow me around why not walk with me?” Your eyes were close with a soft smile on your face. There was a girl following you since you got to the school, hiding whenever you stopped walking. The girl slowly came out from behind a marble statue, playing with her fingers while looking down.
“I-I I’m s-sorry! I d-didn’t mean to follow y-you, but I w-was told about your scholarship… I’m Nakahara Suno, I would l-like you to join t-the computer club!” The girl stuttered out, blushing. You smiled in the slightest; she wasn’t even looking at you so she couldn’t tell.
“I am flattered that you want me to join, but I am actually going to have to turn your offer down. I’m sorry.” You apologized, technology was not your favorite so it was actually easy to reject her offer. Now if someone came up offering you to join the ‘Cake-club!’ you would accept it in a heartbeat! Who doesn’t like cake?
‘I wonder if they have a cake club?’ you laughed to yourself, thinking of this amazing club.
“Oh, i-it’s alright! O-our offer is always o-open.” She smiled shyly before bashfully walking away.

“I need a compass or something…” you muttered irritably, your lip visibly twitching in the process. Haruhi smiled and laughed lightly at your comment, “Did the map not help?” she ask.
You shook your head, “No, it didn’t at all. I think it just made matters worse!” your class had just ended; the host club was going to start up in about 30 minutes. On your way walking to the host room you bumped into Haruhi. Tamaki was waiting just right out front of the host club door,
“~Ohhh! There you two are! Come on, Daddy want you two too put these on,” he said with puppy dog eyes as he held up two maid dresses.
“No” Haruhi dead-panned.
You laughed and shook your head, “D-daddy, it’s too cold to wear that~” you cried and rubbed away a fake tear. Tamaki stared at you with wide eyes and an open mouth, “Your right! What was I thinking?”
He ran to a chest in the corner of the room and pulled out a bunch of other dresses.
“What about this one?” He asked holding up another revealing outfit, Haruhi sighed “No”.
“This” – “No!”
“He’s a closet pervert, isn’t he?” You asked the twins burst into laughing fits,
----
“I’ve compiled this picture book, which contains photos of the beauty of each host. If you ladies are interested in all of them, I can discount them for you.” Kyoya smiled while he held up magazine like books of each host.
“We’ll take them!!” The girls yelled with their hands raised. “Kyoya, what the hell?!” you angrily whispered as you snatched the book with you face one it away.
“[M! Name], how do you think this club makes money?” He asked the smile still on his face. You stared at the book and sighed before handing it back to him. “…right... Sorry…”
“We will begin the physical exams shortly. All students please return to the clinic in your school building.” The ladies voice over the intercom made everyone stop to listen. Once she was done speaking the girls all began to leave, slowly but surely. Once they were all gone, Tamaki began to flip out. He drew plans out on a white board to conceal Haruhi’s and your gender. His plans were… to put it bluntly very stupid. But, you just nodded along with all the other hosts.
“You two have to promise you’ll stay our beloved little princesses! We are determined to keep you gender a secret!” Tamaki pulled you and Haruhi into a circle, Haruhi blinked “..uh, sure.”
“Oh! I understand now!” Haruhi exclaimed, she clasped her hands together. “If they find out I’m a girl, I wouldn’t be able to host any longer. Then I wouldn’t be able to pay my debut.”
You held out a calculator in your hand as Haruhi began to push buttons whispering to herself, ‘my balance is 5million 4hundered thousand….’ “I would just have to find another way to pay off my debut!” She laughed nonchalantly, scratching the back of her head.
Your eyes were wide, just how much was that vase?! You looked at the calculator and nearly died! Kyoya must have seen your paled face because he looked amused.
“ARE YOU SAYING YOU HATE THIS CLUB?!” Tamaki yelled and pointed at Haruhi, “Well, honestly, yeah. I mean I like you guys, but the club wouldn’t have been my first choice.” She shrugged; Tamaki was swept away by a cold breeze.
“Fancy Tuna.” Takashi said and Haruhi froze. The rest of the host club smirked, “Oh, come on. Just I’m poor and never had it doesn’t mean I’m going to fool everyone to try it. I’m not that much of a glutton.”
“… Am I really going to get to try it?” She whispered and looked away, embarrassed.
The hosts cheered, “And what about you, [Name]?” Tamaki asked, “I’ll go along with your plan, I love this club.” You smiled with a small blush on your cheeks, “D’aww! You’re so cute!” Tamaki yelled and pulled into a hug and spun around.
“We should head out now,” Kyoya said stopping Tamaki from spinning you in joy.
“Plan A!” Tamaki yelled the rest of the host members saluted him.
----
“I have a doctor sworn to secrecy in one of the rooms down the hall for both you a Haruhi. I just have to get revenge on Tamaki so I’m going along with his silly little plan.” Kyoya smirked and handed you a paper,
“The Doctor knows about your situation.” You smiled at him, “Thank you, Kyoya.” He smiled back; you knew the smiles that he put on for the host club were all fake, wondering what he would look like with a true smile, your own faltered. You hummed and walked past him towards the room on the paper.
It was just down the hall, a long ways down the hall, so you didn’t get lost, and no turns. Once you got to the door you knocked on it.
“Come in,” you heard the voice called out from inside, you opened the door. “Hello.” You said softly with your female voice, if she knew of your situation it should be fine. She smiled,
“I’m Akkai Tashimora, and I’ll be your nurse for today.” You nodded, standing there waiting for her to finish up some paper work she was working on, “Sorry about that. I’m going to have you disrobe and I’ll take your measurements.”
You began to unbutton your uniform; you laughed lightly what would she think of the tape? Would she make you take that off too? “Are you ready Miss?” She asked “Uh, yah, I guess.” You whispered you opened the curtain and she began to laugh. It wasn’t like the twins hysterical laughs; it was as a lot softer.
“Is this fine?” You asked nervously, “It will have to do now, wont it?” She mused before she started to take your ‘fake’ measurements. Once she was done with your measurements, she did the usual for a doctor to do. Weight, height, and so on.
“Alright, Miss. You’re done.” She smiled, “Thank you very much, Ms. Tashimora.” You returned the smiled to her, “don’t push yourself too hard now.” She said as you started to leave. Why was everyone so happy here? Maybe money did buy happiness?
“I’d be happy with more money.” You told yourself with a smile,
“S-sir!” you felt a hand on your shoulder, it wasn’t threatening so you didn’t do anything but turn around. “Yes?” You asked the doctor, he didn’t look like the other doctors here at all. “I am looking for my daughter, she goes to this schoo--!!”
“TAMA-CHAN KICK!!” The poor guy was kicked in the face he flew and hit the wall making it crack! You even flinched at the sound of the impact!
“Oh my god! Are you alright?!” You shouted and ran over to the guy, who was now cringing in pain. “Tamaki! You can’t just kick people!” you scolded the blonde who began to recite some bullshit about ‘this is what makes up the host club!’
“Are you all right [M! Nick-Name]-Chan?” Honey asked as he and Mori walked over to you. You were still trying to help the doctor recover from the kick. “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Kyoya began to explain the situation of the doctor scaring a girl, who in your mind was over-reacting. The doctor then began to tell everyone his side of the story. In all, he was a guy that had too big of a heart for others. He was very selfless but, when it came down to his own family he didn’t give enough.
You were always a sucker for sad stories that could result with a happy ending; maybe all hope wasn’t lost for this man and his family. Tamaki was sobbing while all the other hosts looked bored. Kyoya commented that his daughter did not go to this school, but to Ouran Public school.
“There is nothing wrong with wanting to help others, but sometimes you need to help yourself first. As selfish as that sounds, it’s true.” You told the man, “Pay more attention to those who love you, not those who use you.”
“No! It’s not like that! They all seemed like nice people!” He cried, Tamaki then joined him.
“Such an awful story! Kyoya, I would like you to get this man directions to Ouran Public school.”
Kyoya looked surprised but quickly regained his normal looks, “As you wish,” Within minutes the Doctor had directions to the right school of his daughter and happily was on his way. Despite the fact that Tamaki kicked him in the face, he was leaving with a smile.

“There’s a fair coming up this week-end, would you like to go?” You asked Haruhi,
“Oh, yeah. It is, isn’t it? Sure, I’d like to go.”
“Oh good, cause it’s always better to go with a friend. Plus the funnel-cake there is almost to die for.” You nodded to yourself, Haruhi was looking out the windows while you were picking at your schools tie.
“I would rather stick to the small rides though, if you don’t mind?” She asked, “Nah, not at all. I’ll just probably pig out for the day, so no violent rides for me either.” She laughed at your response
“Oh, you two are going to the fair?” Hikaru asked “Sounds fun, mind if we tag along?” Kaoru added, their arms over each other’s shoulders, smirking mischievously.
“Ohh! A Commoners fair? That sounds wonderful!” Tamaki sang, “We can all make a day out of it!”
Haruhi sighed, obviously not liking the fact that Tamaki invited himself too. You didn’t understand her. Tamaki wasn’t a bad person, why did she act like she didn’t like him at all.
You smiled, “Sounds good to me!” Haruhi looked at you with a dead-panned expression, you couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, the last day is Saturday and it opens a 7.”
“We need to get ready; it’s almost time to start hosting.” Kyoya spoke up, everyone either let to go get changed for the theme today, which was ‘Ancient times’. Changing into your costume you couldn’t help but think why the hell this theme? You groaned fixing the gold Laurels on your head. You were being Apollo.
“We find this theme especially popular during these summer months.” You heard Kyoya from outside your little changing room say. “I swear Kyoya, you can read minds.” You replied, making him smirk. Opening the curtain you saw him with his usual clip board.
You noticed ‘Romans’ were to be the most popular, whilst Greeks and Egyptians are also included. Famous Romans include Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. That being Tamaki and Kyoya, who pulled it off rather well in your eyes.
One costume is based on the traditional Toga approach, with laurel 'crown', rather plain but it still did fit the theme. Whilst the other is the more macho armor approach, such as a king and it’s ‘slave’. Which were Takashi and Honey.
Twins in mythology are often cast as two halves of the same whole, sharing a bond deeper than that of ordinary siblings, which is ironic. Hikaru and Kaoru we dressed as the twins Amphion and Zethus. You were sure their brotherly love act was going to be even stronger with the costumes on. The big pink double door slowly began to open,
“Quick! Mori-senpai! Get the rose petals and throw them!” Tamaki yelled frantically. Mori grabbed the box and tossed some petals up in the air. “Kyoya, the fan--!” as if on cue fans turned on and the petals began to dance around in the air.
“Welcome~!”
----
The sky was blue, no cloud in sight to provide what very little shade they normally do. Grabbing a hold of your school uniforms collar you began you yank on it, groaning. It had almost been 2 weeks since you started going to Ouran, Mr. Suoh had told you that you needed all 3 of your clubs within 3 weeks, and so far you only have one. It wasn’t that you weren’t looking for more clubs to join; it’s just that none of the clubs that you have been to sparked interest in your eyes.
You started to walk towards the rose garden, when you first learned that this school had a rose garden you flipped out! What school has a freaking rose garden?! It was filled with fountains, statues and gazebos! You knew it was a maze inside so you decided to avoid entering it, but instead enjoy the view and sent from out of the maze.
You heard someone grunt in annoyance. “He is such a hard ass!” You peered over your shoulder to see a group of younger class men in what looked like training outfits for something.
“I know, but he is one of the best.” Another spoke up, they began to talk among each other sometimes about their ‘hard-ass’ captain other times about smokin’ hot chicks.
“Come on guys, we need to get back before he flips out.” The group started to walk off, their voice getting lower and lower. A smile formed on your face as you trailed behind them with stealth. After a couple minutes of walking they entered a room, you waited a bit before you went inside too.
The room looked like a Dojo, it was quiet. Everyone was sitting on their knees, as if they were meditating in a way? You shrugged to yourself, walking up you sat down crisscross next to a boy. You sat up straight and placed you hands on your knees, relaxing, your eyes closed.
“Isn’t he from the host club?”
“what the hell is he doing here?”
“As if he can fight.”
“Ha! Captain won’t be happy.”
You heard everyone whispering, but you focused on your breathing. Just letting the energy flow through you. Something amazing, just like that fight you had with that kid the first day. You told him to fight with his mind rather than his fist. Anyone can do this, see with your other senses; you could feel the energy around you. Some positive, some negative some, rocketing towards your face. You raise your hand to push the flying fist away only to place your and back on your knee, in its original spot. You slowly opened you eyes only to glare at the boy who had just did that. How rude! It was the boy who had helped you out on the first day. Most of the members of the club either had gasped or their jaw was on the floor.
He smirked, almost too confidently as if he knew why you were here and he was just waiting for you to say so. You sighed, “I would like to join this club.”
“Of course you would.” He smirk was no longer present, “We are happy you are joining.” Now all the members looks shocked, their captain being friendly to a newbie?!
“Wait! Captain! He still needs to pass the test!” One boy yelled but was quickly shut down by the captain’s glare. You were actually surprised by the intensity of it too, the boy was just merely pressing on about the ‘rules’, maybe he was a hard ass?
“Thank you for letting me join! I won’t let you down” You exclaimed, trying your best to get rid of the negative energy in the room now. It seemed to work, everyone slowly went back to ‘meditating’ or sparing against one-another.

“Auntie Rose~ I only have one more club to join, don’t worry.” You cried, she had been scolding you about not having all your clubs down yet!
“I know, but tell me what clubs have you looked into or visa-versa.” She sang you could hear your uncle Jim in the back ground on his Banjo.
“Well, the computer club, the chess club and the photography club have come to me, which I politely turned down! While I’ve been to track, volleyball and baking. Which all did seem promising but, you know how I am with sports and food!” You laughed to yourself and smiled upon heard your aunt laugh too. “I promise, I’ll have my next club soon though, kay?” you mused, “I’ll call you soon too! Just to tell you what club I get into.” You added on, just for safe measures. Even though you aunt rose was a down to Earth person, she could sometimes become a big o’le worry wart.
“Alright, you better! Love you~”
“Love you too!”
“OH! Wait! Guess who called looking for you?” She asked, although you were completely clueless.
“Who?”
“Aneru!” Your eyes went wide for a second before you asked – “What?”
You mean the boy who broke your heart? Why the hell was he calling? Well, it wasn’t that you two were dating. It’s just that he was your best friend, and then one morning you woke up and he was gone. His family had moved and he told you nothing about it. He never tried to contact you up until now.
“Yep, I gave him your number too! Ahh! Jim, the chicken! THE CHICKEN!” She yelled, “Sorry, [Nick-name] I gotta go! Love you, byebye!” You were left one the phone with a dial tone.
[[Okay, I just realized! O_o I made a stupid mistake! XD Yasuchika is not the captain of the kendo club, he is the captain of the Karate club though! So, let’s just change it up! I will go back to the previous chapters to fix this, but just to let you guys know… I’m sorry for the late update too! I’ve had a couple close people die recently which is why this is late and shorter than the other…
But, on a positive note I want to THANK EVERYONE FOR VOTING! :D It really does mean a lot! ^^ Kendo got 7 votes, art and music both got 6(!so close!) theater got 4. So, when one more comes in the lead that will be the other club that [Name] joins. Plus, to those who put in other club ideas, thank you so much!]]
1- Gi – I want to say that is what the Karate outfits are called. I didn’t know that, I had to look it up! XD so just in case! :D
