Chapter 1

The host club

The two girls sat in the back of the limo, hands clasped tightly. They looked at each other and shrugged. Soon the limo arrived, the girls grabbed their book bags and stepped out of the limo in front of Ouran Academy.

"Have a good day mistresses!" their driver shouted. The twins looked back over their shoulders in sync and nodded at the driver. They turned around and walked into the enormous school. One turned to her sister.

"Akira. We need to go see the headmaster." Her voice was a deep alto.

"I know Akane, the door is right there." Akira's voice was higher and clear. The two pushed open the door together and stepped inside.

"Hello dears!" A cheerful grey haired lady greeted them from behind an old wooden desk.

"Hello." The pair said in unison. The one on the left spoke up. "We are Akane and Akira Takahashi," "And we are looking for our class lists." The one on the right finished her sentence. The older lady smiled and sorted through some manila envelopes.

"Takahashi? Here you are girls."

"Thank you." They said together. The girls turned and left the room, carefully shutting the door behind them before walking down the hallway to their classroom, 1A. The twins were buffeted by a wave of noise when they entered the classroom. Their teacher was standing behind the desk, red faced. In front of her was the cutest pair of twins they had ever seen. Bright orange spiky hair parted on opposite sides. The twin boys were casually leaning on the desk arguing with their teacher, apparently winning. They froze in mid-debate with the teacher and turned to look at the newcomers.

"Oh twins!" they synchronised. The two girls turned to look at each other while the boys slunk over to look at them. Akira smiled slightly and Akane looked at the twins before both girls burst out laughing. "Hikaru! We have new toys!" "They're twins as well Kaoru!" They whispered so they thought we couldn't hear them. The boys smirked and stood together, linking arms and looking seductively at the girls.

"We are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, and you are?" they said in perfect unison.

The girls smiled at the Hitachiin brothers and raised their linked hands.

"We are Akira," started one "And Akane Takahashi." Finished the other. The girls pushed passed the boys, like it was nothing, and swayed up to the teacher. They were assigned seats right behind the Hitachiin brothers.

Akira's POV

The rest of the day passed fairly quickly with us being dragged off to sit with a 'host club' at lunch, though what that was we had no clue. There we made promises to go visit the hosts after school (After longs tedious begging from the Hitachiin's.) and see what all the fuss was about. Holding hands, Akane and I made our way up to Music Room #3. Getting lost only a few times after following my lead, Akane took over and we eventually got to Music Room #3. Akane and I shared a look, before cautiously pushing open the doors, and were surprised when a cloud of rose petals attacked us. We stood in shock as 7 gorgeous young men greeted us.

"Welcome!" The men all synchronized. Akane and I immediately saw the two twins in our class, Hikaru and Kaoru, but couldn't remember any other names. But before we got the chance to go over to them, the blond with a stupid face popped up in front of us. "Well halloo again princesses! I see you actually came." The stupid blond took my hand and held it up to his lips, giving me a stupid look, god he was annoying, "None can match your beauty, my princess-" He was interrupted as Akane slapped him across his stupid face, making him look even more derpier than he did before. He looked immediately hurt and went to pout in a corner, which oddly enough had mushrooms growing in it. We watch as the twins saunter over to the pouting derp, kicking him in the side, "Tamaki you loser, you have to quit growing mushrooms!" Hikaru said sternly, "Yeah Tamaki, you could at least make them edible!" Kaoru piped up. His brother elbowed him in the side and shot him a look, "I-I mean, yeah! Quit with the mushrooms!" Kaoru looked and his brother, Hikaru nodded and Kaoru immediately looked extremely pleased with himself. We had to stifle a laugh as the stupid blond 'Tamaki' flopped onto his side and laid there in defeat looking like a noodle. Happy with the effect they had caused the Hitachiin brothers sauntered up to us, "Hi again!" They said together, "Hey" Akane and I replied. "Well we may as well-", "Start the introductions!" Awww I thought, they finish each other's sentences! How cute! Akane and I shared another look, before returning to the twins who had dragged a small blond boy with icing all over his face. "This is Mitskuni Haninozuka," "But we all call him Honey." They spun Honey dramatically away from them, making him giggle. I looked to Akane and we both shared the same thought, he's so cute! We looked back to the twins as they motioned to a tall dark skinned boy with black hair. "That's Takashi Morinozuka. We call him Mori." Kaoru said all by himself. I mentally applauded him, while Akane visibly smirked; I knew we were both laughing at the same thought. The twins took a couple steps closer to us, whispering one on each ear of us, and said, "The creepy Demonic one in the corner is Kyoya Ootori," Hikaru stated, "Be careful around him, he scares me." Kaoru finished with an over dramatic look and shiver, "Oh Kaoru, I didn't know you felt that way." We watch as the idiot Hikaru wrapped himself around Kaoru, a hand cradling his face. "Don't worry, I'll protect you." I know Akane almost gagged when Kaoru let a pretend tear slip across his face, but I was just glad my underwear was still dry. Mostly… I looked at Akane and whispered, "83%" She smirked and returned to the twins, still wrapped in each other, they looked annoyed with being ignored. Kaoru let another tear go and went back to the act, "Hikaru… T-th-" Hikaru placed a long finger on Kaoru's lips; "Shh-" Hikaru began but was interrupted by Akane, "Knock it off nobody cares about your stupid brotherly love!" Well… I did… but I laughed anyways and slung an arm around her shoulders, "Be nice Akane, this is just how they figure out if we're fun or not." I winked as the twins mouths dropped open, and they whispered together, "How does she know that?! NO ONE KNOWS THAT!" I giggled evilly and dropped my arm from Akane, and slipped between the brothers, facing Hikaru. Akane copied my sexy walk and faced Kaoru. We both said in unison, "Hmm… you two will be fun new toys!" We winked, I wrapped my arms around Hikaru's waist, pulling his face close to mine and whispered. "We can have lots of fun together!" Judging by the sound of the gasp coming from behind me, Akane had done something similar. Hikaru blushed deep red, and I laughed, "You are such a virgin." I went to twirl away, but Hikaru snagged my wrist and pulled me back close. "What do you mean by that?" he growled, and I had to admit, it was a sexy growl. I spoke very slowly, "It means… no, sex!" I grinned, and Hikaru grumbled more, "Oh like you have," he snorted, and I grinned evilly, pulling Akane close I wrapped a leg around her waist as she dipped me. "Of course not." I said innocently and winked. I watched the twins blush more, as Akane lost her balance and fell on top of me. We landed in a tangle of limbs, and ugly yellow material. Akane winked at me and we kicked our act into gear. "Oh, Akira! I'm so sorry did I hurt you?" She held my face in her hands and stared deep into my eyes. "Of course not Akane. You could never hurt me." I pulled her face close and kissed the tip of her nose. I gasped as Akane was lifted up by a surprisingly strong Kaoru, staring at us in wonder but looking like he was required to interrupt. Hikaru just stood and stared. "Like whatcha see?" I asked still laying on my back propped on my elbows. I grinned and he lowered his hands, and his gaze sheepishly hiding. "Having a problem? Or am I just too sexy for you to handle." I said winking and spreading my legs a tiny bit. Hikaru took a second to regain his composure, and offered me a hand up. I sprung upright and brushed off my dress. The dark boy with glasses, the one Hikaru had called Kyoya, came up to Akane and I. "Excuse me ladies but I'm afraid you will have to move to a couch and behave yourselves." He said in what must be a supposedly charming manner. Akane and I shrugged and I hauled her off to a couch. We sat there holding hands for the entire session, just watching as the club worked around us. Tamaki being his princely self, Honey senpai shoving his face with cake while Mori senpai cleaned up after him silently, Kyoya sitting silently working on his laptop, Haruhi just being herself, and of course, the twins with their brotherly love act. I watched the Hitachiin brothers most of the time but Akane's eyes skipped from group to group, never stopping, never slowing down. Occasionally though she would watch Hikaru. Not both the twins though, just Hikaru. I wondered at my sister's attention towards that singular auburn haired twin. As I watched the twins, Kaoru looked up and made eye contact with me. I blushed for some unknown reason and looked down at my lap. When I looked back up he was pink but had resumed conversing with his guests.

Akane's POV

After the hosting session was over and everything had been cleaned up, the club gathered in a circle and started whispering furiously. They peeked back at us multiple times, so we knew it was about us. Akira and I shrugged and stood up to leave. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?" We turned around to see the Hitachiin twins looking at us. "Home." I said. Akira snickered slightly at the dumbstruck looks on the twin's faces. "But but but... We wanted to play with you some more!" Hikaru said sadly. I laughed and towed Akira back into the room. "How could we resist such sad faces?" We asked. We sat back down on a couch and Akira pulled out her iPod. We each put an earbud in and she turned on Gone Gone Gone by Phillip Phillips. I closed my eyes and leaned back against the headrest, humming the harmony while Akira sang the melody quietly. The song ended and I opened my eyes to see the entire host club staring at us. Tamaki came over to stand right in front of us. "Could you sing something else for us please?" He asked politely, glitter sparkling brightly around him as he used his charm. I shot a look at Akira, mentally asking her what she wanted to do. She sighed quietly and started sifting through the 900 songs on her iPod. I leaned in and we whispered quietly to each other as we dismissed song after song. We finally settled on I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. We stood up and faced the front; I pulled a portable speaker out of my bag and plugged the iPod into it.

Well, you dawned on me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool dawn run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.

I reckon, it's again my turn

To win some or learn some.

But I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.

Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm sure.

There's no need to complicate.

Our time is short.

This is our fate,

I'm yours.

Do you want to come on, scootch on over closer, dear

And I will nibble your ear I slung an arm around Akira's shoulders and moved my face close to her ear.

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and I laughed.

I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.

It's what we aim to do.

Our name is our virtue.

But I won't hesitate

No more, no more.

It cannot wait,

I'm yours.

We both walked around the club where they sat crowded together on a couch.

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.

So please don't, please don't, please don't...

There's no need to complicate.

'Cause our time is short.

This oh, this oh, this is our fate.

I'm yours.

Oh, I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours

Oh, oh,

Baby, do you believe, I'm yours?

You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours.

We finished right in front of the group of hosts. They stared open mouthed as the last strains of our harmony faded out and we disconnected the iPod from the speaker. "And?" We asked. Kyoya whispered something in Tamaki's ear, he stood up. "Would you two like jobs?"
