A Rose Hidden by Shadows (PG-13)

This is actually a revision of a story I wrote with the same name. It is a KyoxOC fic with the OC being my character, Chouko. I don't separate my roleplay characters and fiction characters because I would have too many. Well, here is the story's first chapter.



A Rose Hidden by Shadows
Chapter One~ New Beginnings

I sat under one of the trees at my school, tears running down my cheeks. I looked down at my papers which lay crumpled and torn in front of me. I tried to rearange the papers and tried to straighten them out, only to end up crying hard over the fact that they wouldn't be able to be fixed.

"Hey, something wrong?" I heard someone ask from infront of me. I looked up to see a girl about my age, maybe younger, with brown hair and soft brown eyes. I nodded my head before looking down at the messed up papers once more. "What happened to your papers?" she asked when she looked at my papers.

"S-Some bullies t-tore them up." I said, sniffling and trying to stop crying.

The girl knelt donw in front of me and said," Don't let them bother you. Here, I'll help you with your papers." The she started to stack up the papers and straighten them out a bit. She smiled and handed the papers to me.

I smiled at her and took the papers as I said," Thank you. My name is Chouko, what's your's?"

"I'm Haruhi." she said as we both stood up.

"Haruhi, would you want to play with me?" I asked, hoping to have made a friend.

Haruhi smiled and said," Sure, lets go." Then I stood up and grabbed her small hand in my equally small hand and led her to the playground.

~Time Skip~

I walked around the dark woods, wondering how I had gotten there. I looked around, trying to see if there was a way out of the woods but found none. I kept walking the way I was going, noticing what seemed to be light somewhere up ahead. I quickened my pace and finally reached it, noticing quickly that the the light was from a wreaked car. I ran over to the driver's side and said," Hey are you okay?" as I tried to pry open the door. That was when I noticed the person driving the car, Gakuto, my old driver. I backed away from the car, glancing in the back seat and finding a little girl with long brown hair. I shook my head before whispering," No, this can't be." I took off running in the opposite direction of the car, noticing a shadowy figure up ahead. I noticed that the figure was taller then me with a few locks not brushed back. "Things are going to change soon." was the last thing she heard, the voice saying it was unfamiliar but calm and cool.

~End~

Chouko shot up in her bed, fighting to regain her normal breathing pattern. The dream, no nightmare, she had just seen was more of a memory to her. Chouko slung her legs over theside of the bed and held her head in her hands. "Why would I be remembering that. It happened nine years ago, why is it coming back now?" she asked no one. The girl sighed before standing up and streatching. She quickly noticed the time and said," Aw, really? I woke up two freaking hours before I need to go to school?" Chouko then walked into the attached bathroom and got ready for school.

Chouko walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, wearing her uniform. Luckily she had talked the chairman into letting her wear a variation of the Ouran girls uniform. Instead of the yellow dress that many of other girls wore, she wore the white shirt and blue blazer with a black, purple, and white checkered skirt. For shoes she just wore simple black flats.

~At Ouran~

Chouko sat down in her regular seat before a commotion was made at the door. She looked up and noticed a tall blonde and a dark haired boy standing at the door. Girls from the class had surrounded the blonde as he spoke to them all about something or another. Chouko sighed slightly, going back to reading the book she had brought to ward off boredome, when she heard something interesting.

"Yes we do have a new host. His name is Haruhi, heis also the scholarship student. If you would like to meet him then come to the Host Club after classes." the blonde said.

Chouko sat, thinking to herself about how familiar the name was. Then it clicked, her friend from when they were little, Haruhi Fujioka. "it can't be the same person. He just called that Haruhi by he, not she. But I guess it's worth checking out." she though.

~After Classes~

Chouko followed behind a group of girls from her class. She had heard them earlier talking about going to the host club after classes were over. Chouko was curious as to if she did know this scholarship student or not. The group of girls arrived at the Third Music Room and quickly walked in. Chouko stopped at the doors, watching inside, now quite unsure about her idea of figuring out whether or not she knew this student.

"Hey, why are you over here by the door? Why don't you come in and sit with one of the Hosts?" a boy with short brown hair and saft brown eyes asked.

"You wouldn't happen to be Haruhi Fujioka by any chance?" Chouko asked, he voice soft and slightly nervous.

The boy looked at her oddly before saying," Yes, I am Haruhi. Why were you asking?"

Chouko smiled and said,"So it is you, I wondered what happened to you after I moved. I lost your number so I couldn't call you anymore. Oh yeah, it's me, Chouko, remember?" Haruhi thought for a bit then smiled, reconizing her friend from days already passed.

Soon the two were sitting in the club, talking about things that have happened since they last talked. Haruhi didn't have any requests that day so it was all fine. The two were catching up when a voice called," Haruhi, it seems that some of the guests are out of tea. Would you be so kind as to refill their teacups?"

Chouko quickly looked around for the source of the voice, reconizing it but not being able to remember where. Before Haruhi got up Chouko found the source of the voice, the same dark haired teen that was with the tall blonde in her class earlier. "I could make the tea, I'm a pretty good cook so I could also make cakes and such. That is if you don't mind me doing so." she said, walking to the teen whom sherecognizedas Kyouya.

He looked at her from beind his glasses before saying," I guess it would be of benifit to the Host Club for you to be the cook."

Chouko smiled and said," Thank you, Ootori-san." before hurrying off to the kitchen, after having it pointed out by Haruhi, to start her new daily duties.
