Author's Introduction:

This is a sequel to a prequel I haven't written yet ;) Those who are as obsessed with Ouran as much as I am shouldn't be too lost. This is a story that includes yaoi/yuri, poly, bi, hetero, trans and a sprinkling of omegaverse, free love for all , so a little bit of everything, you've been warned.

This is a Variation more than a Continuation. Changes have been made from the original manga/anime, obviously as this is a magical Ouran universe. This means all the Ouran students are children of demons, gods, monsters, other supernatural beings, known as yokai, and Haruhi the only human. Other differences being events will be referenced pretty much identical through Haruhi first year but change drastically after that. There are a few OCs some that are involved with the main character and others to fill out the story arc a little more.

I would eventually like to write it from the beginning of Haruhi's first year at Ouran, but when I dreamed up this plot it was focused on Haruhi's graduation and becoming and an adult. It's been stuck in my heads for weeks and I just had to write it. Hopefully I'll get to the prequel which would be titled "Ouran Academy of Magic" for now I present "Ouran University of Magic." Pairings: Kyo/Tama; Hika/Reiko/Kaoru; Mori/OC/Haruhi/Honey

Ouran University of Magic

All good things come to an end.

Only those born with magical abilities from the most ancient and wealthiest yokai families are lucky enough to spend their time here at the elite private school, Ouran Academy of Magic. The Ouran Host Club is where the school's handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies who also have way too much time on their hands. Just think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the supernatural, rich, and beautiful.

Haruhi Fujioka, 17, 3rd Year Student

Haruhi flickered the four spheres of light she had created into the air just over their tea cups, causing the inlaid gold to glitter. One of her first year guests was having trouble with a light spell and Haruhi offered to show her how. It was a distraction at least. A task she could focus on. She had been a terrible host the last couple weeks. Her eyes always wandering to the doors, hoping.

"Oh wow Haruhi, they're so pretty!" Said Momoka, Haruhi's most loyal customer. She still came to visit even though it had gotten out Haruhi was a girl after their first year. In turn the other girls came back as well, even a few boys, but Haruhi would never forget it was Momoka that had stayed. She had brought a new friend with her today. The young girl was completely astonished.

"Amazing! How did you do that without components? I thought humans had to use spell components to do magic, I'm certain that's what my spell casting teacher said, because you don't have your own magic. Even my magic not strong enough to do that yet." Asked the first year.

"Well that is true, most humans would use components when they do magic. Some of us are able to use a spell focus, it's an object that channels the magic that lies naturally in the earth. We are able to cast magic in a similar way to Yokai with it. It's limited though, I'm not able to cast plainer or dimensional magic with it. Some Yokai also use a focus to help magnify their magic. It would probably help you too."

"I didn't know that, what do you use for yours, can it be anything?" Asked the first year.

"Mae-Chan you can't just ask what her spell focus is those are secret."

"Oh I'm so sorry Haruhi, I didn't mean to be rude."

"It's alright ladies, I don't mind your questions, I'm glad you're interested. What I use is called a druidic focus since I use druidic magic. I have one my mother made, and I've made some of my own as well. It has to be made of earth elements, such as objects carved from a living tree. Those are the most practical. There are other options but they require animal bones, totems with feathers. There harder to come by and can be easily destroyed."

"Can we see yours? Can you make me one?" Mae-Chan bounced excitedly. Haruhi had forgotten how cute first years could be. Mae -Chan seemed to be a very earnest student too. Reminded her a little of herself even if the girl was quite a bit more bubbly.

"I'm afraid I do actually keep mine a secret, but I can show how to make one if you like."

"That's okay I understand, would you really show us how to make one?"

"Absolutely, I think one made from a cherry blossom tree would really suit you both."

"Why's that Haruhi?"

"Well you're both so sweet and soft just like a cherry blossom, I think you would be able to bond with it really well." The girls squealed with delight. It always surprised her when they did that, she was just giving her honest opinion. Even after two years it was still hard to understand why they cared so much about what she thought. She usually really enjoyed the company. Today she was having a hard time focusing. Her eyes kept wandering to the doors every couple of minutes. She didn't know why. She doubted they would come anyways. They hadn't been at the host club in a month, she didn't expect them to come after they were closed today either. All the magic in the world couldn't keep those you cared about with you forever.

"Haruhi is it really true the Host Club is closing forever?" Asked Momoka,

"Oh? ...Hai, I'm sorry ladies, Hikaru, Kaoru and I all have our placement exams and practicals coming up. We're the last ones, and the others already can't come every day. So we'll be closing at the end of this term."

"That's true, I guess it will be harder for you so you don't have any natural magic. You have to study even more" replied Mae-chan. Haruhi was sure she didn't intend to sound insulting, so brushed of the offense. After all she was probably the only human these girls has every socialized with. She was confident in her magical ability, she didn't really care if other people acknowledged her skills

"Well yes, I would like very much to attend Ouran University with all our friends. I intend to study extra hard."

"What about doing a host club at the university?"

"I'm afraid all of the others are coming into their responsibilities with their families. I really admire them for being so loyal and taking their work so seriously."

"Oh that is true but it's so sad."

"Don't worry ladies, we'll still be around. We'll always find time to hang out with our friends." Mae-Chan squealed in delight again, but Momoka's eye were noticeably shinier as she tried to smile. Haruhi returned it with a soft smile of her own, she would genuinely miss her time with Momoka too. It was a bit strange to realize these feeling were probably the most normal part about her whole experience in high school. She really hadn't been prepared for how different a yokai school was from a human school when she started at Ouran. Still the pains of growing up appeared to be the same. They would all miss these times and their friends.

"Oh no, my driver's just arrived, I don't want to keep him waiting, I'll stop by again tomorrow and you can show all about how to make a focus. Don't forget! It's a promise, okay."

"Don't worry Mae-Chan, I'll be happy to show you."

"Great see you tomorrow!" With that the bouncy first year was off. Haruhi watched her leave out the doors. Watching it as they closed unable to take her eyes off it. Hoping they would open again and someone else would walk through. For her some people were already gone. It hurt with how much she missed them. It was silly it had only been a few weeks. It was the uncertainty thought that broke her. She didn't have any idea when she'd get to see them again.

"You know you really should just tell them how you feel." Spoke Momoka softly. She was the only one Haruhi confided in. She clearly couldn't tell the others in the beginning, but now they had their own relationships they probably wouldn't freak out so badly on her anymore. Momoka had kept her secret all these years.

"I've never been able to decide. I love them both the same how am I supposed to tell them that."

"Oh I don't know, I think they are pretty good at sharing." Momoka giggled at Haruhi's blush.

"You know I don't want to ruin our friendship"

"Is now any better? You don't see them or talk to them anyways. And their too close for you to ruin theirs, so that's not a good excuse. They won't push to be a part of your life like the others, you'll have to let them know you want them there." Momoka was right. They always gave her space when she needed it. They both knew she could be overwhelmed by the club at times, but they were always right there if she needed them. Momoka sipped her tea quietly letting Haruhi ponder on her own. She was well aware of Haruhi's deep need to process quietly.

Haruhi looked over to the twins. They must have wrapped up for the day because they were both just flirting and teasing Reiko Kanazuki. They had been secretly dating Rei-Chan since the start of the school year. With the host club ending they would be able to go public with their little triad. She was so happy for them. The mischievous fox demons were still up to their old tricks and Rieko the princess of dark magic made a good partner in crime, but today she was trying to convince them to study. They were using some of the same tactics they had tried to use on her. They definitely more effective on Rei-chan. Haruhi could see the shy girls blush from here. They were gentler though then they had ever been with her. They treated Rei-Chan like spun glass. She was glad they had found some whom they would cherish properly.

The twins had taken it upon themselves to cheer her up when Honey-senpai had not been able to return her feelings. She had never had trouble telling them apart, and Haruhi was certain that was what drew them in, but they probably fell in love when she pranked them hard. They had never seen a more masterful prank. It had taken them a year but they finally persuaded her to date them. Both of them at the same time. It worked for them, but she didn't have any hope it working for her.

Tamaki and Kyoya were at the club today but they weren't seeing guests. Much to Tamaki's disappointment, Kyoya was forcing him to help sort through the Clubs inventory since next week would be the last week. They would close right before winter break and that would be the end of it. Tamaki and Kyoya were a pair she hadn't seen coming. She could see it in Tamaki but she had never considered Kyoya would choose something so nontraditional no matter how much he desired it. It would have never been acceptable to the Tengu chieftain, Yoshio Ootori, who was also Kyoya's father to take a male as a bride. Maybe that was the real reason he stole his father's clan out from under him. Now no one could tell him what to do, how to be, or who to love. Though Haruhi supposed Tamaki being the only grandchild of the yosei queen helped smooth things over with the rest of the clan. What clan would reasonably argue against their leader mating with the future king of the fairies? The match would have certainly been sought after by both if either had been female. From what Haruhi understood fairy magic had a way to allow for future heirs. There really was nothing either clan could say against the two, as they had brought about a greatly sought after alliance. For now it seemed they had been able to pursue their relationship in peace, she hoped it would always be so. There was something precious about watching Kyoya with Tamaki. Oh he still got annoyed and blasted Tamaki when necessary but he could be exceedingly gentle in a way Haruhi had never seen in the man. Of course it was usually when they thought no one was watching.

She would have expected something like this from Mori and Honey but said relationship never seemed forthcoming, they were still the same. With the exception of Honey's growth spurt when he started University. He was still a good deal shorter than Mori, but most men were. Honey was now several inches taller than Haruhi. She had always harbored an attraction to Mori. She eventually found herself on the hopeless side of love but she never had any intentions of imposing on the strong loyal protector. It was Honey that was making an impression lately. He had shed his Lolita image pretty easily. She hadn't actually noticed until the beginning of this year but gone was the little boy, in his place was a very sweet caring and dashing gentleman. He had even dialed back on his obsession with sweets. Haruhi secretly wondered if it was mostly Mori's doing because Honey-sempai never ate cake in the club room anymore but he would ask Haruhi to join him at the cafe afterwards or even on weekends. He could still eat a whole cake in one sitting. Haruhi indulged him because she had a feeling he only got cake when he had an excuse of taking her to a cafe. She loved seeing that old excitement on his face. He never pushed too hard to be part of her life, but he had a way about that made her tell him everything. He encouraged her and supported her decisions. He gave good advice too. She now found herself in love with not one but two hosts.

Mori wasn't any different in essentials. He was just different to her. Back in the early days of the clubs crazy antics he never seemed to be more than an arm's length away. He was always there when she needed rescuing but that was it. During the second year he had offered to tutor Haruhi in literature for ancient scripts. She had been very frustrated as the scripts were never meant to be read by humans. Her magic was all learned instead of innate. There was a charm on the script that blocked Haruhi's type of magic. Mori's own magic let him understand the language of the gods naturally. He had never even needed to translate them. He brought her some of the family scripts to help since he had control of the charms and who could read them. She knew such things were precious treasures. She was amazed he trusted her so. He even helped her figure out how to create a spell to bypass the charm on the school scripts. He was a excellent teacher, though she had lost focus a time or two with him so close. Especially with that smile he gave her when she got something right. Spending every afternoon with him that year did nothing to help her hopeless love. But she couldn't make herself give him up. She had asked his help in another class this year and he had given her the biggest smile she had ever seen him wear. She tried not to feel too bad, she genuinely needed help, and the class instructor was one of those opposed to her presence. She could tell it worried Mori. He had instructed her to contact him right away if something happened. It was simple and nonchalant request, but for her quiet sempai to say anything at all meant he was upset about it.

She hadn't really need that much help so they fell into an easy rhythm studying next to each other after the club. He helped with any other subject she had questions in and she quizzed for his tests and read over his papers and edited his grammar for his college courses. They even went out to celebrate after a big test or exam. That was when Mori became really casual. That was when she discovered his true likes and dislikes, his own passions. She really was hopeless. She had tried to sort it out between the two. She had loved Mori longer but her love for Honey burned just as brightly. They were both such wonderfully complicated souls. There was no helping it. Most days she just ignored the pang of unrequited love. She couldn't be with either one anyways, let alone both of them. Yokai did not take human brides and it was why she had never held out hope even though Hikaru, Kaoru, and Rei-Chan made it work. Even if they could it had the potential to jeopardize her future plans. It was just nonsense longings of the heart that would get in the way of her dreams. It wasn't a very comforting thought, but she had to find something to focus on, something to drive her. Right now she was grasping at any reason that would make her heart let them go. She had been holding on because she thought could at least be their friend for forever.

A month ago it all changed. On that Saturday she had met Honey in their usual spot. Mori was with him. She hadn't realized before that while he occasionally joined them at the cafe he never came on her Saturday outings with Honey. She knew something was wrong immediately. Honey apologized that he wasn't going to be able to stay long because things had changed in in their family. The Mizuchi Water Dragon mark had appeared on Honey's arm the night before. The Haninozuka family were the natural descendants of the dragon god. Every generation the dragon chose one of his descendants for his spirit to inhabit. The mark was a long tailed dragon tattoo that had snaked its way around Honey's forearm. It was similar to the one that had appeared on Mori's arm the year before. Mori had the mark of the Okami, the wolf god. It marked them both as the next head of house. They would be the spirit holders for the gods. This was fantastic news. She knew Honey had worked very hard to prove himself to the dragon spirit. It had finally accepted him, but his time was no longer his own. He expected to be very busy in the next few weeks and didn't know when it would settle down again. There was much for him to prepare for before the shift in the mantle of head of house. She hadn't seen him since then, either of them. She hadn't realized how attached she had become. She saw the twins in class, Tamaki and Kyoya after school but all her free time had come to belong to those two. She had been perfectly okay with Tamaki finding a new obsession on Kyoya, and he had stabilized within their relationship. Kyoya had his hand in everything as he always did but at least he was silent. She minded a lot less than she used to, she knew it was how he showed he cared. The twins were spending all their free time with Reiko. She had felt the loss of their presence more than she expected. They were so happy she couldn't begrudge them. Besides they still teased her mercilessly and surrounded her every moment in class. Still she didn't like to think what might have happened if Reiko had been in there same year. They might never have become friends. They would have never needed her if they had Reiko in the beginning.

Still Mori and Honey moved seamlessly into the empty spaces this year. She couldn't really account for it happening but now her life felt hollow without them. She really hoped everything was okay. She wished she had the nerve to just go and check on them like Tamaki had always done with her. None of the other's seemed worried. In the last year she hadn't gone this long without talking to them. She wondered if the rest of the group had heard from them. It had been years since she had felt this lonely. She felt stupid for it but she wanted to cry. She stuffed it instead. She had exams to study for. It wasn't fair the studying now made her think of Mori which then led to thinking about how she would go to the cafe everyday with Honey afterwards. Even with the interference of the hosts all these years she had stuck to her carefully planned life to ensure she reach her goals. None of which included falling in love. Especially not falling in love with a supernatural demigod, and especially not two of them.

The third floor music room door banged open as Mori and Honey waltzed in. Haruhi couldn't breathe, her heart banged desperately against her chest. What was she supposed to do?"

"I Think I'll just see you tomorrow Haruhi. Today's your chance don't blow it."

"Yea, see you later Momoka." Haruhi responded absently. She could only watch as they unceremoniously dumped a boy Mori had been carrying into a chair at a table in the front of the room.
