Author's notes: In my story, Ouran High School is a four year school; the Hitachiin twins and Haruhi are freshmen, Tamaki and Kyouya are juniors and Mori and Hunny seniors. The Hitachiin twins have an older brother named Kenta Hitachiin who is a sophomore. I'll update every week as long as I get at least a few reviews so I know people are reading. If not then I'll be force to delete it and put on another site.

Chapter 1

Meet the Host Club

At Ouran High School near the gate

Two limos pulled up to Ouran High School. One was green and the other blue.

The green one's driver opened the door to reveal an Italian girl with short, light brown hair and green eyes. Her dress was identical to the usual yellow, puffy girl's uniform of Ouran High but hers had been made of green material instead.

The blue one's driver opened his door and out stepped a set of British twins with long brown hair and royal blue eyes. One wore the girl's uniform, the other the boy's complete with blue blazer, black pants and black and purple tie. The twins walked to the other girl.

"Man, this is going to be stupid. Can't believe mother made us go here." The twin in the girl's uniform grumbled.

The twin in the boy's uniform turned to the other, "Deal with it, Kumiko. We're here and that's not change anytime soon. Or ever."

The girl sighed as she walked towards the school, "Tsukiko's right. Unfortunately."

"Man this is stupid." The twins followed her.

They entered the main gateway, eventually finding the office inside the huge school.

"Excuse me. We're the new students." The girl told the secretary at the desk.

The secretary shuffled papers around until she found the one she was looking for. "Midori Hara I presume?"

She nodded.

"And Kumiko and Tsukiko Takahashi."

They nodded too.

"Alright. Here are your schedules. Fourth floor is seniors, second floor is sophomores." She handed the schedules to them, "Welcome to Ouran High."

They left the offices, looking over their schedules.

"Talk to you later, Kumiko. Tsukiko."

"Bye, Midori!" Kumiko waved, following after Tsukiko who had already left.

Midori's POV

It looks like I'm headed up to room 2-A. I can't believe I have to go here of all places. Italy was a lot better than here.

I found the classroom easily and knocked on the door when I reached it.

A male teacher, wearing a black blazer, black pants and a white tie, answered.

I'll call him stupido. Yeah. That'll work.

"Class, we have a new student today. Please join me in welcoming," here he looked at the sheet on his desk, "Midori Hara. Miss Hara, take a seat next to Kenta." He gestured towards a boy with light brown hair and golden eyes.

I sat next to this 'Kenta', ignoring all of the stares I was getting. What was I, from another planet or something?

As soon as I hit the seat, I pulled out some paper and began doodling.

I felt someone's eyes on me and began to get uncomfortable. Finally I looked over to see Kaoru smile at me.

"Hello! I'm Kenta Hitachiin! You are Midori Hara, yes? Your family is in the catering business, am I right?"

I think I stared at him for a second, wondering how on earth he knew what the family business was. Oh yeah. I keep forgetting. Everybody knows who we are. We cater all over the world, internationally.

"Would you like to come with me to the Third Music Room right after school?"

The teacher started the lesson again and his attention wavered so I didn't get a chance to answer.

Hm. Third Music Room? … I could get in trouble with the twins for not being at the gate after school…buuut… I caught his eye after a moment and nodded.

He smiled happily at me before turning back to the front.

I guess it can't hurt anything. I'll check it out.

Kumiko's POV

I waved to Midori as I followed after Tsukiko. Our room was 4-A.

Letters and numbers for rooms? What's up with that?

"Tsukiko, are you planning on acting like a boy for the rest of the year?"

"Yes. There is no way I'm wearing that ugly, puffy, disgusting dress. Seriously. It's yellow. I hate yellow."

"Just a boy with really long, girly hair then?" I smiled.

Tsukiko just glared at me.

"Okay, okay. Would you at least smile?"

Her expression just became irritated. "Make me."

"Alright fine." What got into her today?

A male teacher answer the door when we knocked.

"We're the new students."

"Oh! The Takahashi twins?"

We nodded and walked as he held the door open wider to let us by.

"Class, we have new students. Kumiko and Tsukiko Takahashi."

The only thing that went through my head, as I stared at the rest of the class, was how boring this day was going to be. Judging by the look on Tsukiko's face and the general feeling I was getting from her…she was thinking the same thing I was.

"There are seats just in front of Mitsukuni and Takashi." He pointed to two boys in the middle of the room.

One of them looked like he shouldn't be here. He looked like he should have been in elementary school. Blonde hair, brown eyes…and…are those pink flowers floating around his head?!

Next to him sat his exact opposite: Tall, black hair, grey eyes.

Tsukiko sat in front of the tall dude, so I took the seat in front of the 'little kid'.

He poked me when I sat down so I turned around.

"Hi! My name is Mistukuni! But you can call me Hunny!" He was adorable. He pointed to the boy next to him.

"That's Takashi! But you can call him Mori!" He smiled, "Would you like to come to the Third Music Room after school? There's tea! And sweets! Right, Mori?"

Mori just nodded.

"She doesn't like sweets," I motioned towards Tsukiko, "And we're meeting someone after school. I'm sorry."

"Just go, Kumiko. I know you like sweets. I'll find Midori in between classes and let her know." Tsukiko didn't look at me when she said it.

"Are you sure? I don't mind not going."

"Just do it." She ordered.

I sighed, knowing that she would drag me there herself if I didn't agree.

At the end of class the bell rang and everyone left.

"See you in a little bit." Tsukiko told me as she ran off.

Normal POV: After school

Tsukiko hadn't been able to find Midori so she decided to go with Kumiko, planning on checking it out and then leaving.

Hunny and Mori were escorting them to the Third Music Room and they saw Midori at the other end of the hallway, walking towards them.

"Hey Tsukiko! Kumiko!" She waved, "Where are you going?"

"To the Third Music Room."

"That's where I'm headed! Who are your new friends?" She ran over, Kenta close behind.

"This is Hunny." Kumiko pointed at the short boy beside her.

"Aw! You are so cute! Is this your big brother?" Midori asked Honey, pointing at Mori.

"He's a senior, Midori."

"Seriously?!" Midori's eyes got big and she crouched down to Hunny's level, "Are you seriously a senior?"

"Yup!" Hunny smiled.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Midori squealed at the adorable cuteness that was Hunny and she scooped him up in a huge hug, which Hunny thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone else just looked embarrassed.

"This is Mori." Tsukiko continued when Midori put Honey down. Tsukiko's emotionless face was echoed in the face of the tall dark-headed guy.

"Hello." Midori said, deciding that hugging him was probably not the best greeting, "This is Kenta." She told the twins.

"Hi." Kenta said.

Tsukiko nodded, Kumiko shaking his hand.

"Well, this is the Third Music Room." He indicated the door next to them, a sign reading 'Third Music Room' hanging above the door.

"Oh! We forgot to tell our drivers not to come until later!" Midori remembered.

"How about you call them and we'll go ahead and go inside." Kenta told her. The three boys entered the room.

The girls pulled out their cell phones. Midori's was green with a frog on it, Kumiko's sky blue with stars and Tsukiko's was navy with a phoenix on it.

Kumiko and Tsukiko caught each other's eye and Kumiko waved hers a little. Tsukiko put her cell up, letting her twin make the call.

When they were done, Midori turn back to open the door.

The light that poured out from the room was blinding and rose petals fell from above. All of them wanted to know what the heck was this get up.

When their eyes cleared they saw seven boys standing around an eighth who sat in a chair in the middle of the room.

"Welcome." The boys said.

"…Kenta…where are we?" Midori looked skeptical.

"At the host club." Kenta replied.

"Ah! So these are the new students!" The one sitting stood. He had blonde hair and violet eyes.

Walking over to them, he handed each girl a rose. Except Tsukiko, who wouldn't accept it.

"Please have it."

"No."

"Please?"

"Definitely no."

"Please?" His eyes got big and he gave her a puppy face.

"Let me think…uh, no."

Looking hurt, Tamaki ran over to his corner, mumbling something.

"Hunny, could you explain why we're here? One of your members is a complete dope." The Takahashi twins looked at the senior.

"I think he's the reason they call all blondes dumb." Kumiko said.

"Stupid." Tsukiko agreed. There was a tug on her blazer and she looked down to see Hunny.

"Do you want me to introduce the members of the club?" He asked, his eyes big.

"Might as well," Kumiko shrugged, looking at Tsukiko, "I guess that's a reason for coming here."

"Sure, why not." Tsukiko shrugged identically to her twin.

Hunny's smile grew bigger and he danced over to the Hitachiin twins.

"This is Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin."

The pair walked over to the Takahashi twins, hands in their pockets. Hikaru and Kaoru circled them as if they were under inspection.

"No matter what way you look at us, we'll still look alike." The Takahashi twins crossed their arms at the same time.

"They're right. You can't even tell by the uniforms unless you really know them." Midori confessed.

The Hitachiin twins ignored her, determination in their eyes.

"Is it customary for the boys to have long hair where you come from?" They asked.

"You got a problem with me having long hair?!" Tsukiko demanded. Despite the fact that she refuses to wear a girl's uniform, Tsukiko doesn't like it when others make fun of her long hair.

Growing more bold, the Hitachiin twins circled closer this time, a certain look in their eyes.

"If you don't stop, we will hurt you in a slow and painful manner." Tsukiko and Kumiko's eyes narrowed.

"We are still in school. I don't think it would be wise." Midori spoke up, "The last time you did that, the person was sent to the hospital.

"And?"

"…Never mind." Midori shook her head.

Tamaki, now recovered, came up behind Kaoru and Hikaru, catching them by their shoulders, "Hikaru! Kaoru! Please don't harass our guests." He smiled brilliantly.

"We aren't harassing any guests!"

"Then don't harass my new daughter and son!" Tamaki pushed them aside grandly and walked towards the Takahashi twins with open arms.

"Daughter and son? Since when did that happen?" They looked at one another.

"Since now!" Tamaki proclaimed, "I can't have you being associated with such unscrupulous people."

"Hey!" The Hitachiin twins protested.

"One question." Kumiko spoke up.

"What is it my dear daughter?"

"How is it possible to have a father who is younger than us?" Tsukiko finished.

Tamaki stopped posing beatifically. "…What do you mean?"

"My Lord, did you not know that they are in their senior year while you are in your junior year?" The Hitachiin twins said it like it had been the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?!" Tamaki grabbed the shoulders of the Takahashis. "Say it isn't so!"

"It is." They told him, evil and satisfied looks on their faces.

Tamaki went back to his corner, muttering about how quickly kids grew up these days.

"Hunny, please continue with the introduction before we're interrupted again." Midori came up next to Hunny.

He nodded seriously, walking over to the boy with glasses and black hair and eyes. He held a clipboard in which he was casually, continuously writing in.

"This is Kyouya Ootori. He is the vice-president." Hunny announced.

"The vice-president?" The Takahashi twins looked at one another in disbelief.

"You look more like a president." Midori said.

"Just the vice-president." Kyouya said, never stopping his writing.

"Then who's the president?" Tsukiko and Kumiko glanced around the room, seeing no one else who appeared remotely close to fitting the title.

"Me! Tamaki Suou!" Tamaki recovered with record speed, whirling around with one hand on his chest and sparkles in his eyes.

"You're kidding me." Midori stared blankly at him.

"The only thing you could ever be president of," Kumiko started.

"Is the Idiot Club." Tsukiko finished, smirking.

That put Tamaki back in his corner.

The Takahashis circled him like predators with prey, "There is no way you got that job. You aren't fit to be a president."

They heard him crying about how his children didn't respect him after all the love and care he poured into them each and every day.

"Love and care?! Didn't we just meet him?" They looked at each other.

"I am so the president of the club." He pouted.

"Of what club?"

"The Host Club!" Hunny exclaimed happily.

"Nope."

"I am so!" Tamaki objected.

"That's the wrong name."

"No it isn't!"

"It's 'Idiot Club'."

"Is not!"

"And you're the only member."

"No!"

They continued their argument, the rest just looking on.

"Midori, I believe the only person you haven't met is Haruhi Fujioka. He's here on scholarship." Kyouya stopped writing for just a moment to point at the last guy. Whom Midori thought looked more like a girl with big brown eyes and short brown hair.

"He's even more stupid than he looks, if it is possible." The twins walked up, shaking their heads.

"I asked him what the capital of the UK is…" Tsukiko said.

"And he answered Moscow." Kumiko shook her head again.

While no one was really surprised that he gave that answer, it was still a sweat drop moment.

"Are you really that dumb, my lord?" The Hitachiin twins asked as if they already knew the answer.

"No! No I'm not! I just got confused! They were asking me all these questions really fast and I thought they asked for the capital of Germany! So I said Moscow!"

"You're kidding me, right?" Both sets of twins wanted to know.

"You seem to enjoy torturing him too." Kaoru noted, turning to the other pair.

"As if it wasn't obvious." Tsukiko said.

"It's almost too easy." Kumiko admitted.

"Who knew other twins could enjoy it as much as us!" Hikaru exclaimed.

The four of them got close together and began whispering to one another.

"Midori, is Tsukiko actually a boy? I haven't ever seen many boys with long hair." Haruhi wanted to know.

"Are you actually a boy?" Midori asked, feeling as though she already knew the answer.

"Well no. But I am working off a debt for the Host Club, so others aren't supposed to know."

"Well then no to your question too. She has her reasons for wearing boy clothes I guess. I think it's just because she's still a tomboy." Midori saw all four twins smile at Tamaki in a very evil way. Her cell phone rang and she answered. "Hello?"

"Midori! Where are you!? You were supposed to be home twenty minutes ago! You and your cousins!" The old lady on the other end had a rich British accent.

"I'm sorry. We were meeting new people."

"Oh. Really? Invite them over tomorrow. And I'm not taking no as an answer." The lady, who was actually the Takahashi twins' grandmother, hung up the phone before Midori could give a response.

Well that's just peachy. I barely even know them and now my Great Aunt wants to meet them. Midori sighed, looking up to see Tamaki being tied to a chair.

The Hitachiin pair were talking about marrying Haruhi or running of with her or something and Tamaki was yelling that he would kill them if they did. As soon as he got out of their bindings.

"Tsukiko, Kumiko! Sorry to spoil the fun but we need to get going. Your grandma's really angry."

"Grandmother?" The twins looked at one another, quickly tying a knot with what was left of the rope. "Okay. Let's go."

Midori didn't move, staring at Tamaki's condition. Those two are a pair of demons. And the other two are just as bad! We should leave before something else happens. She felt sorry for Tamaki but wasn't planning on taking a risk and helping him.

The twins walked over to her.

"Oh and your grandma said that our 'friends' are coming over to the house. And she's not taking no for an answer."

They nodded at the same time, as if having reached a decision together without needed to consult one another.

"You get to tell them." Kumiko decided.

"Why me?" Midori's eyes got big and watery as if she was about to cry.

Tsukiko just gave her the usual emotionless look and told her to do it.

"Fine." Midori pouted, turning away.

She went over to Kyouya, still writing madly away, and asked him if he and the Host Club would come over the next day.

After a brief second of checking the schedule, he nodded, saying they would be over at 5.

Then the three girls left, finding that outside the limos awaited them.

"So that was completely odd." Tsukiko said.

"The twins were interesting. I feel sorry for them. They have to put up with that stupid president every day." Kumiko told her.

"Well I guess that means they have someone to torture every day." Midori added.

The three split up, the twins going to one limo and Midori to the other.

Midori's POV

That Host Club is weird, but I feel sorry for the president being tortured by TWO sets of twins today. Oh well, it's not like I can stop them…actually I don't really want to try.

I still can't believe that my mom and my aunt actually agreed for us to go to school in Japan. My school in Italy was so much better than here…I wonder what the twins think about this…I mean, they only had one year of school left and then we up and move. Well I guess they DO get to get out of school earlier regardless.

The limo came to a stop and the driver opened my door.

My cousins were already waiting for me, just outside the five-story mansion that was now our house.

As we went inside, Alfeo and Azzurra greeted us. Alfeo, my butler, has grey hair and green eyes; Azzurra has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Then came Aurora and Dawn, the twin maids of my twin cousins with long light blue hair, one with blue eyes, the other yellow. After them was Jonathan and Matthew with light brown eyes and brown hair with just the starting hints of grey.

-Normal POV-

"Welcome back, Midori-sama." Alfeo and Azzurra said.

"Welcome back, Tsukiko-sama, Kumiko-sama." The twin butlers and maids echoed.

"Hi. Where is grandma, Jonathon?" Tsukiko said as she walked over to the stairs with her sister, Midori following behind.

"Upstairs on the 5th floor…" Jonathon answered.

"She should be in the dance room or study room." Matthew smiled at them.

"There will be visitors tomorrow, right?" Alfeo asked.

"Yes. Grandma wouldn't take no for an answer." Kumiko made a face.

Aurora and Dawn stepped forward.

"Tsukiko-sama…"

"Kumiko-sama…"

"Since there are visitors tomorrow, what are you going to do about the Gala performance on Saturday? Are you sure you'll have time to practice?"

"Tsukiko-sama, do you remember that you are suppose to check on the person that is in going to do that carnival coming up soon? Kumiko-sama, did you remember to design the outline to the carnival?" The butlers chimed in.

"How about you ask us once we get done with all the other stuff we have to do?!" The twins yelled with frustration before anyone could go any farther. They ran up the stairs, Midori still close behind.

Wow, who knew we'd be coming home to that. I'm glad the twins got us out of answering questions for today. Midori stopped at the 2nd floor and walked to her bedroom while the twins continued going up.

Midori's POV

I went down the hallway to my bedroom, going in and falling onto my bed. It was queen sized with green curtains hanging around it. My bedroom mostly consisted of stuffed bunnies, pandas and frogs, the wallpaper making it feel like a rainforest.

I made myself get up and change into a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt.

Living in Japan is going to be a lot harder mostly because I have to remember to speak Japanese instead of Italian…Oh well… I groaned, dropping onto the bed again and staring at the ceiling.

Tsukiko's POV

We kept running until we got to the third floor where we walked down the hallway to our rooms. Mine was one side, Kumiko's right next to it.

I went inside, changing into grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt.

I can't believe that mother actually sent us here for our last year of high school! It's insane!

I walked to my queen sized bed and sat on it. I looked around my room seeing the underwater wallpaper on the bottom half of my wall, the other half clouds in the night sky. Scattered around were stuffed animals of dolphins, phoenixes, and wolves.

A glass door is at the back of the room and I walked over to it, opening it up and going outside onto the balcony just to stare up at the clouds.

A second glass door behind me opened and out walked Kumiko. We shared the same balcony, our rooms connected by it. She had on grey sweatpants and a white t-shirt.

"Do you plan on standing out here all day?"

"I was watching the clouds go by slowly. Like our lives." I sighed, leaning on the rail.

Below, Midori was wandering around in the garden with her sketch book as usual.

I sighed again, "Let's go. We're going to have to face our grandmother eventually."

"Even if she's a witch?"

"Yes. And you never know: she could have changed since the last time we saw here."

Kumiko snorted and I followed her through her room. I accidentally locked myself out of mine.

The wallpaper in her room was starry, a bed the same size as mine with starry curtains around it. Stars, stars…oh look. More stars.

"Kumiko…you should seriously just move to the stars." I put my arm over her shoulders.

"I would, but then who would watch you if you get angry?"

"Midori."

"So you choose her over me?"

"No. She's just the only person left."

Kumiko whacked the back of my head and ran off, out of the room and towards the stairs to the fifth floor.

"Race you!"

"You are so dead when I get you!" I ran after her.

Midori's POV

I grabbed my sketchbook and went outside, walking through the gardens. I spotted Tsukiko on the balcony gazing at the couds.

She's in love with clouds…while her sister's in love with stars. I think they should just lived up there. But then it would be really boring without them.

I sketched whatever caught my eye for a while. Then suddenly it hit me: I was supposed to go with the twins' to their grandmother!

I ran back to the house as quickly as I could.

Normal POV: The fifth floor

Midori ran to the study and flung open the door to see the twins already talking with their grandmother.

The grandmother was somewhere in her late seventies and wore a white shirt and black pants.

Midori shut the door quietly behind her and began to walk over.

"Midori. Where were you?" The grandmother asked.

"Sorry. I forgot." Midori put a hand behind her head in embarrassment.

"Well now that you're here. I need to talk to you all about something…"
