Hey! I was wondering one day why I never see any OC's who are gay, so that's what inspired this story!

I never have and never nor will own Ouran High School Host Club. I also do not own the sexy hosts. I do not own Japan or Canada or America. The only thing I (think) I own in this story is my dear OC, and… well I will claim no further before I get sued.

A lot of these chapters need heavy editing, since I keep getting better at writing, but I will do my best to edit as I go along.

Chapter 1: Secrets-I has it

"Hello! My name is Candi!" she said, waving. She had elbow length, slightly curly auburn hair. She must not have been fitted for the uniform yet, because she wore an oversized white long-sleeved t-shirt with a picture of the Beatles' logo on it and a pair of denim shorts that were definitely against the dress code. She looked good in it- her legs were lightly tanned and hairless. I silently gave a nod of approval for her outfit- naturally casual and easygoing. The sport's bra was a nice touch, since it was purple and visible on her shoulders.

"Hikaru, who is that?" My twin asked. He leaned over across the aisle to ask me. I knocked his head.

"She just said she's Candi, idiot" I replied, a deadpan look on my face.

"I know, but that's an American name." I think Kaoru barely registered me calling him an idiot.

"I've never heard that name, what does her family do?" I asked in reply. I wonder what, since she had to be powerful and/or smart to be in this class.

"Now you're the idiot. In America, they give their first names. That wasn't her family name."

"Oh. Kyouya must know already. We'll have to see."

"Who?" Kyouya asked, fingers ready at his new Chameleon. They were the latest thing: imagine an iPad. For the rich. The software was revolutionary. MY dad respected it, and he owned a computer software company himself. Whoever owned the Chameleon- Kaoru remembered their name since he liked how they sounded- were complete geniuses. However, they were very powerful since everyone rich had one. They knew exactly how the software worked, and could hack in at any moment. People would rather keep their secrets than defy that family.

"Candi. It's an American name." Kaoru made sure he was clear about that. I rolled my eyes as Kyouya's finger typed.

"Candi…. she's part of the…" Kyouya's voice faded. He cleared his throat. "Shadburn." Now I remember.

"You're kidding" everyone spoke in unison. Except for Haruhi, who looked confused.

"What do they do?" she asked. We all sighed. Expect the commoner to not know.

"Haruhi" I said, wrapping my arm around her shoulders. Kaoru did the same.

"Kris and Colby Shadburn"

"Made that"

"Over there" Kaoru and I pointed to the Chameleon in Kyouya's hands.

"Do you know"

"How expensive"

"That thing is?" We asked together, looking at her reaction.

She rolled her eyes. "So they sell a high-priced fancy tablets. So what."

"Haruhi, even I know the software is made of absolute genius" Honey said, hugging Haruhi's waist.

"So? They come out with one every other week."

"Haruhi, I no longer have a phone. This is it" Kyouya said, holding a smartphone sized touch screen in his hand. I grinned at Haruhi's confusion.

"Isn't that just a smartphone?" she asked.

Kyouya stretched it out. Literally. He quickly put his fingers around two corners and the screen got larger as he pulled more and more.

"Woah" Haruhi said, amazed. She walked over and sat next to Kyouya, observing it in her hand. "And Candi's parents made this?"

"Yes. You can see why they are a respected family" Kyouya said, putting his Chameleon back in his hands, and furrowing his eyebrows at the information in front of him.

"What's up Kyouya?" I asked, standing over him. Kaoru did the same.

"I can't find any more information on her. All I know is that she doesn't have to wear the uniform, but I'd expect that. Only the family with upmost power can get that kind of permission."

"Lucky!" Haruhi said. I laughed. Of course Haruhi would not want the uniform. She could just dress in her normal boyish clothes and not have to worry.

However, I wondered why the girl I met earlier today was wearing what she was. The t-shirt she was wearing was almost meant for a guy. The shorts were something a commoner would wear. I didn't see any labels. It didn't look like she did anything to her hair. Did she not realize that at this school, you are judged very quickly by your appearance? I approved of her look, but other people here probably thought she was cheap.

And she didn't even pay any attention in class! I just saw her draw random things in her notebook. She filled up an entire page with these drawings. Did she expect to be able to study like this?! Even I studied for about an hour a day.

Then again, her family is made up of absolute geniuses. I'd expect her to be just as smart. Other than that, I don't know what to expect from her.

Kyouya's POV

I did not see Candi today. I wonder how I'll become acquainted with her in time. I had to establish a positive relationship with her. If not, one where she had to listen to me.

At home, I searched 'Candi Shadburn', hoping for some new information. However, I found nothing. She was mentioned in a couple articles about her parents, but that didn't help. She didn't even have a Facebook. I did, however, find a picture of her in Google Images, and I couldn't help but to stare for a second.

Candi had long, lightly curled auburn hair. Her lightly tanned skin had a single imperfection- a thin, white scar just below her right knee. She was smiling in this picture, and her eyes twinkled. They were a deep turquoise, and they seemed to reach me even through the screen. I could almost feel her happiness, even though I had no clue why she was happy. And her smile was perfect- white teeth, straight and framed perfectly by her lips.

I shook my head, and looked away for a second. I hadn't even met this girl, and I was captivated by a simple picture of her. I couldn't have that.

When I looked back, I was determined to be professional. I should be able to figure out a few things about her though this picture.

Her sense of fashion was very dull. In this picture, she was wearing a purple flannel shirt with a red shirt underneath. She was also wearing large black basketball shorts. I don't understand why someone would want a picture of her like that- she wasn't exactly in top condition.

Then again, this might be her normal attire. She might wear somewhat boyish clothes everywhere she goes. I don't think she'd be hard to spot at lunch tomorrow, at the very least.

Haruhi's POV

My stomach growled. I sighed- lunch wasn't for another half hour. I left in a hurry this morning, so I didn't get breakfast. I heard a yawn beside me. I looked over, and Candi was sitting there. It still felt so weird to have a new student. We don't get those very often.

My stomach growled again quietly when I saw that she was eating strawberry Pocky sticks. She looked over.

"Want some?" she whispered, holding out the package. I nodded, taking one. Candi was nice.

"You can have all of it" she said, still holding out the package. I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"Thanks" I whispered, taking the package.

"Haruhi!" the teacher said when I was about to take a bite from a Pocky stick. I jumped in surprise.

"Yes?" I asked.

"No eating in class. You've earned yourself a lunch detention. Next time, it will be an after-school detention."

A bunch of people turned around to snicker at me.

"Hang on" Candi said, standing up. She quickly eyed all the students glaring at me. They all quickly turned back towards the teacher. She finally was looking at the teacher. Was she seriously going to defend me against the teacher?

The teacher paled at her gaze.

"I see no problem with eating in class. If someone is hungry, they should eat. I literally heard Haruhi's stomach growl twice. I was already eating food, so there shouldn't be a problem. Right? If I can eat, then I say that Haruhi can eat too."

The teacher nodded quietly, and Candi sat down, smiling at me.

Sensei resumed talking, and I smiled back at Candi. Thank goodness for her- she saved me a spot on my perfect record. I liked Candi.

"Thanks" Kaoru said, putting an arm around Candi.

"For that" Hikaru continued, also putting an arm around Candi.

"For what?" Candi asked, confused.

"They also wanted to thank you for saving me a lunch detention with sensei. Thanks again" I explained.

"Oh that! No problem. I don't think it's fair for the teacher to let me eat, but not you." She laughed. "Sensei literally looked at me, looked at my Pocky, and then resumed teaching. She can't deny that she knew."

Hikaru and Kaoru laughed, and I smiled. We were all walking down to lunch.

"So why weren't you at lunch yesterday?" Hikaru asked.

"Reasons. I just ate a lot when I got home from school."

"Woah. I could never go on without lunch. Or lunch break" Kaoru said, amazed. I laughed.

"You two are growing boys. Of course you need to eat a lot" I said in a motherly tone. Hikaru and Kaoru laughed.

"Haruhi, you worry about these two a lot, don't you?" Candi asked, yawning. She put her hands in the pockets of her shorts.

"I swear, this kid acts like our-" Hikaru said before he was cut off.

"HARUHI!" yelled a voice. A mass of blonde hair flew at me, tackling me to the ground. "I'M SO GLAD YOU DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE!"

"Sempai, get off of me" I sighed. He instantly got up off of me, and saw Candi.

"Are you the rumored Candi?" Tamaki asked. I couldn't stop him before Candi nodded.

"THANKYOU! THANKYOUTHANKYOU! YOU SAVED HARUHI!" he yelled, hugging her tightly. I didn't notice this until now, but Candi was the same height as Tamaki. How strange. Well, she was not Asian. Of course she'd be taller than the average Japanese girl.

"No problemo" she said. Tamaki looked at her, smiling.

"You're welcome to eat with us, if you'd like" Tamaki said, gesturing to the table the host club usually sat at. I could see him turn him charm on when he left an arm around her.

"I'm going to get my food" Candi said, nodding at us as she left. I saw Tamaki deflate a little bit.

"Tamaki, not everyone absolutely loves your sweet talk" I said bluntly.

"But no one before had acted that way around me!" he said, frustrated. Hikaru and Kaoru each held up two fingers.

"Renge" Hikaru said, both of them putting down one finger.

"Haruhi" Kaoru said, both of them putting down the other finger.

Tamaki pouted. But then he brightened. "I'm just not her type. I wonder what type she does like."

I rolled my eyes, sitting down at our table. "I just want to eat."

I saw a group of guys walk towards the lunch line. I didn't pay much attention to them, until I saw Tamaki glare at them. "What's bad about them?" I asked, my mouth half full.

"Those guys are in our year" Honey said, explaining. "They can charm any girl they want, just like we can. They just got off of suspension for beating up a girl."

I could hear Tamaki's teeth grind. I did feel some anger as well- I would hate anyone who would beat up someone was nearly defenseless.

"Hey there missy" they said. I felt my eyes widen. They were talking to Candi.

"Want to eat with us?" one of them asked. I could feel his ego from here.

"No" she said bluntly. She turned back towards the lunch line.

"Come on" another said, grinning cockily. "We'd love you- I mean, we'd love it if you came."

I saw her roll her eyes. The group of guys scoffed, and they turned to another girl.

"How about you? You're completely welcome."

"Um, n-no tha-anks-s" the girl stuttered. She must be shy, since her face turned red.

"Don't be like that, little girly. Just one time."

"Hey!" Candi said loudly. "She said no. Leave her alone."

They scoffed. "What are you doing here again? Want more?"

"No. I want you to leave her alone." I saw her lean in and whisper something to all of them, and I saw them pale.

"Sorry" they said together, leaving quickly. I was amazed. She had to be brave if she was willing to face sensei and a bunch of lowlifes. I saw her yawn.

Kyouya's POV

Casual

Very protective of others

Either wants people to shut up, or willingly defends victims

So far, that's all I had been able to conclude about her personality. I was carefully taking notes about all I could see about her, but I couldn't see much in the past couple days. This girl was much harder to investigate than I thought. I searched for hours and hours, looked anywhere that medical records could be, and there was still nothing. Well, I knew there was something medical they wanted to keep secret, because whenever I requested medical information on her, they said no.

I exhaled sharply. This was starting to get irritating.
