Having finished Ouran last night, I have but this to say, as I previously flailed to Mir: I have never watched anything that made me feel so much like a girl.

It's really rather disconcerting.

"And then, Kyouya would grin at Aiko and say 'That is an interesting view' and Tamaki would cry and Haruhi would wear a blue princess dress and then--"

Kyouya commiserating/pretending to commiserate with Akio had not occurred to me.

A ROUGH DRAFT

Well. *thinks*

~

Haruhi follows behind Utena, batting off Tamaki and the twins as they try and fondle her Ohtori girls' uniform.

"So--" Hikaru starts.

"--cute!" Kaoru finishes

Tamaki floats after the group of them, giggling to himself. "Yes, Haruhi-chan, we can share a bento together. Hehehehe!"

"There should be cake!" Hunny latches onto Haruhi's leg and stops her in her tracks. Mori slides in with a piece of cake topped with strawberries.

Miki clicks his stop watch. "It seems Fujioka-san will fit in just fine."

"Hm." Touga smirks, just the slightest, and goes into a bow with a flourish. "Hello, Fujioka-san. I am Kiryuu Touga, a wholesome boy." And he dips Haruhi back, and grins down at her. "And I hope we can be good friends."

"Sempai..." Haruhi lifts her head and stares up at Touga with her wide, brown eyes. "...you have broccoli between your teeth."

Beat.

"HARUHI, DADDY IS SO PROUD!"

The twins wave a "GO, HARUHI, GO!" banner, Hunny throws flowers, Mori shakes a tambourine, and Tamaki tackles Haruhi away from Touga with tears in his eyes.

"MOTHER, COME SHARE OUR DAUGHTER'S MOMENT OF GLORY!" It takes a moment of celebration before--

Tamaki lifts his head. "Kyoya?"

Utena looks back the way they came. "Oh, Anthy was walking with him. May be she is showing him the greenhouse."

***

Kyoya lifts the tea cup to his lips.

"Thank you, Miss Anthy."

"It's poisoned," Anthy says with a smile.

Beat.

"Ah." Kyoya takes a sip.

YOUR TURN.

AN EQUALLY ROUGH DRAFT

[skygiants]

"UTENA!"

As usual, Utena wobbles dangerously close to the window when Wakaba lands on her back; she reaches out to the sill to steady herself before she registers a pressure on top of her head that steers her carefully away from the window and back into some semblence of stable verticality.

Utena and Wakaba both stare at Mori's retreating back. It is large and has a kendo sword attached. Although backs do not tend to be expressive, as a rule, this one is more than usually expressionless.

"Utena . . ." Wakaba whispers. "Who was that?"

"Oh - Takasha Morinozuki," Utena answers, blinking. "Uh, he's one of the new transfer students -"

She breaks off, as Wakaba slides off Utena's back to stand next to her, enormous eyes fixed on Mori.

". . . uh-oh."


* * *

"A love letter?"

Hikaru and Kaoru are convulsed in laughter on the floor, one hand each on the piece of paper, when Tamaki snatches it up.

"- hey, give it back!"

"We had it first!"

"If by 'had it'," Haruhi mutters, "you mean, 'stole out of Mori-senpai's locker."

"This is disgraceful!" Tamaki announces, holding the letter high and glaring down at the twins. "We should be treating every girl like a princess, not laughing at her passion! This poor girl -"

"Shinohara Wakaba, Grade 8," Kyouya interjects, without looking up from his account book. "An average student, interested in volleyball and ceramics; Tenjou Utena's close friend. She hid student council member Saionji Kyouichi in her room when he was temporarily expelled -"

Hikaru and Kaoru's eyebrows shoot up at this information, but Kyouya continues, "but he since has spent little time with her."

Tamaki draws himself up and positions his profile dramatically against a window. "There - you see! To brighten the lives of princesses like Wakaba is exactly why we need to re-establish the Host Club at Ohtori Academy! It's our duty, as beautiful creatures, to show ourselves off."

A storm of rose petals swirls around him as he sweeps his hand to fling open the first-floor window. "See how unhappy the souls of these students are with no one like us to admire, to make their lives better!"

Three girls, who have been giggling together about the incredibly handsome head of the student council as they pass by, blink at Tamaki and continue on their way.

"There is no other choice!" Tamaki concludes. "We must re-open the Host Club! Mori-senpai, Shinohara Wakaba will be your first guest."

Mori, who has been quietly sitting with Honey in a corner, blinks and stares back at Tamaki. Possibly this means assent.

"Meanwhile -"

His eyes scan over his recruits, and settle on the twins. "You two! Make yourselves useful for once. Find out all you can from Saionji Kyouichi about his feelings for Wakaba."

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Haruhi mutters to herself, but she gets no answer except one of Kyouya's enigmatic smiles - which is in any case blotted out by the storm of roses that floods into the room through the open window, setting all the Host Club members to coughing and wiping rose petals out of their face.


BACK TO YOU!

"Fujioka-san, do you like curry?"

Anthy smiles.

***

"Har~u--" The twins attempt to twine themselves around Haruhi only to be smacked upside their heads with a school bag.

"Don't get fresh with me!" Haruhi poses with her school bag thrown over her shoulder in a way that is both manly and uncommonly cool.

"...Har...Haruhi?"

The twins watch Haruhi walk away, huddled together with their arms about each other's shoulders.

***

"I. Daddy is very confused, Mother."

Tamaki is hunched up in a miserable ball as he watches Haruhi run across the basketball court and slam dunk the ball. She is in a tank top and very tiny shorts, and very...athletic.

"Aa," Mori agrees as he watches Haruhi wipe sweat from her forehead and then her neck.

"It's unnatural." The twins are very sure of this. Because they have out their opera glasses and are watching Very Closely. An arrow points to Haruhi's chest.

Kyouya finishes uploading the latest round of candid Haruhi photos to the club website and closes his laptop. "Interesting. I knew this transfer could increase our profit margins, but this is a very pleasant surprise."

Utena is sitting on the grass with her knees drawn up to her chest, watching. "...I never knew I could jump that high."

***

"Anthy!"

Haruhi grabs Anthy around the waist and pulls her aside. Just as a flowerpot smashes on the ground where Anthy had been standing.

Anthy hides her face in Haruhi's neck. "Utena-sama," she whispers. And when she looks up, their eyes met, and there is storm of rose petals.

"MOTHER, WE MUST FIX THIS!!" Tamaki has Kyouya in a headlock and swing him around and around and around the room.

From the other side of the room, Utena thinks aloud. "I don't know. This is fine for me. You don't try and molest me."

"U-TEN-A!"

When Wakaba leaps on Utena's back, she flails about wildly, spins on her toes, and falls backward out the nearest, open window. Mori leaps and grabs onto Utena's ankles, and both the twins and Hunny grab onto Mori when he starts to go out the window as well.

"...U...Utena?" Wakaba is hanging almost a story above the ground and clinging desperately to Utena's neck.

***

Haruhi is sitting with Tamaki in Music Room 3, both of them quietly drinking tea. Mori is sulking in a corner, growing mushrooms. Kyouya is eating cake after cake after cake. Hunny has on a pair of glasses and makes a mark on clipboard with an lopsided smirk. Hikaru and Kaoru are sulking.

"This isn't--"
"--fair. This is--"
"--boring."
"I wanted to be Milord."
"I wanted to be Kyouya."

Anthy smiles. "Curry?"
