**IMPORTANT READER'S NOTE!**
OHSGC is updated once (sometimes twice) a week with the updates being about 1,000 to 1,800 words each chapter.
After a 'chapter' of the story is finished, I will put three or so of the updates together to create a real chapter of the story.
Confusing? Maybe so, but I did this for the benefit of the reader (you) and me. It's easier for me to update the story if there are less chapters for me to go through when I upload them. Soo... I guess I'm just lazy.

Chapter One: The Institution of the Geisha Club
"I don't like you." I said plainly to the junior in front of me. He was a blondie, but unfortunately, he seemed to be a bit too smart for his own good. His name was Suou Tamaki, the 'prince' of the Ouran High School Host Club.
With him, stood the five other members of the Host Club. Suou had been trying to get me to be a customer of this 'Host Club'. I looked over to a familiar face and became disappointed in him.
Ootori Kyoya. I've used to have a big crush on him when our parents first started being business partners which was… about forever ago.
My crush slowly died over the years and we were just friends, best friends in my opinion, but Kyoya would never admit that out loud in front of others.
"Ohhh, feisty." A set of twins said. They were identical twins and both had peach colored hair and hazel eyes. Hitachiin Hikaru and Kaoru, if I remembered correctly. I believe they are in my class… if I remember correctly.
The other two was a tall muscular black haired boy, Morinozuka Takashi, or Mori, a senior, a small, ADORABLE blonde boy, Haninozuka Mitsukuni, or Honey.
"Ah, Chiya. I didn't expect you to come by here." Kyoya said.
"Oh! You're Ya-chan?" Honey said.
"I'm leaving." I said. I turned but then stopped when I remembered something. "Oh, Kyoya-chan, dinner's moved up to six."
"Is that so?" He said. "Then I'm afraid I can't make it. I have to plan for tomorrow's Host Club."
"I'll be sure to relay the message to our parents…" Leaving the room, I thought about how my friends had somehow managed to trick me into coming into the Host Club's room, even after I said I did not want to meet them. They're sneaky. I'll give them that.
As I walked down the hall, I was soon attacked by an unnatural red-haired whir that flew right in front of me.
"Chi-chan! Chi-chan! Chi-chan! What did you think of the Host Club?! Aren't they dreamy?!" Hana asked. Hana was a freshman, like me. She had dyed red hair that was usually tied into two twin-tails and green eyes.
The first thing I thought when I saw her was that she was the most adorable little girl I had ever seen. The moment I entered homeroom, she attacked me with all sorts of questions, from how old I was to who was my favorite BIGBANG member.
Hana is the daughter of the Hasagawas, who were the owners of Hasagawa electronics.
"You tricked me." I said as the rest of my new friends came up to me.
"I find it disappointing that you don't like the Host Club." Masuyo said, adjusting her white bow. "The twins are awesome!"
"Only because you like yaoi, Masu-chan." I sweat-dropped. "Do you think that they even do that sort of stuff?"
"Don't crush my dream!" I sighed.
"All right… whatever…" Masuyo was the other person I knew before Ouran. She has short black hair that she had cut by one of her friends, which was pretty unheard of in a rich school such as Ouran. Masuyo is also one of my best friends.
She was the daughter of the creators of NYX Designs and is also in my grade. Her parents are interesting… to say the least.
"Well, my Tamaki-kun is anything but gay!" Rie said. She has brown hair that goes halfway down her back and is a junior.
I had met her a while ago in one of my parent's business dinners and, since then, been friends.
"So that leaves straight, which I doubt, or bi." Masuyo laughed.
"Shut up!" Rie exploded. Rie made an advance at Masuyo and I came in between the two of them and said.
"Don't kill her, Rie-sama. You'll regret it later." Rie huffed, turned up her nose, and crossed her arms on her chest. "And, Masu-chan, you know I don't like you being mean to Rie-sama."
"Whatever." Masuyo said as she stuck out her tongue. Rie wasn't usually this immature. She usually is very prim and proper.
"Look it's the new transfer student!" An excited girl whispered as we walked by.
"Ootori Chiya!" Another one whispered.
"Isn't she Kyoya-kun's sister?!"
"I would think so! She acts a lot like him. Calm and cool!" I sighed. He's not. We aren't even related.
You see, a long time ago, our ancestors were very close friends and decided that they were so close, that they should share the same surname. Generations after, both sides of the friendship have kept their surname.
The only difference is that his Ootori is spelled with the kanji: 鳳while mine is: 鵬.
Surprisingly enough, as close as our families are, there has never been one marriage between them. All of this attention is very unseemly for me. It doesn't really fit me. I may come from a rich family, but so do these people, I'm no higher or lower than them.
My family is known for many trades. Publishing, music industry, and many other services. My family had eventually adopted the surname Zhang, from my mother's side of the family, along with Ootori, as to not mix up the other Ootori's business with ours.
So, when in business, my family is known as the Zhang family, not the Ootori family. Not many people here at Ouran know that I am a Zhang and I'd like to keep it that way. I'd rather be known as an Ootori than a Zhang.
"I'm very sorry, Rie-sama, but Tamaki-senpai infuriates me."
"Why?!" Rie pouted.
"He profits off of girls. How is that right?" I asked.
"I don't know, but it sure makes it a hell of a lot easier to get closer to the twins." Masuyo smiled devilishly. I sweat-dropped.
"Do you have any morals when it comes to yaoi?" Yuuki teased. Yuuki has black hair, is a senior, and has a pretty face. Only downside for boys is that Yuuki IS a boy.
Yuuki's family comes from a line of famous traditional Japanese dancers.
Yuuki fell in love with Japanese dancing when he was young and the only way his parents would let him dance was if he disguised himself as a girl. Funny, huh? I heard of a manga that has a character like that…
"Be nice to Masuyo-chan!" Miku exclaimed. "You can be so infuriating sometimes!" Miku was a blondie, too, in hair and brain. She was very kind, but could be quite… air-headed. She has her moments of intelligence, but she chooses not to use the brain she was given.
For some reason, Miku is always quite tough on Yuuki. She's also a junior, like Rie.
"Anyway… I have a plan to teach him a lesson." I said. "Are you guys willing to join a club?"
"What kind of club?!" Hana asked excitedly as we entered the school courtyard. I sat down on a bench before I said,
"Why, none other than the Ouran High School Geisha Club. Which will be, no doubt, the greatest opponent to the Ouran High School Host Club that they have ever faced."
"I don't know, Chi-chan…" Hana said.
"Ootori, I know you're new to the school, but surely you've noticed how much the Host Club influences the school." Yuuki said.
"Everyone has the utmost respect for them!" Rie said.
"We can be better. We have this." I said.
"Cha-chan, Hana is right." Masuyo said. "You can't go up against them. I'm pretty sure they'll crush us down in a minute."
"Listen, from what I've gathered, I've concluded that they are so powerful because of Kyoya-chan. He has the most connections among all of them. Trust me, I know. He won't strike us down."
"How can you be so sure?" Yuuki asked. I looked over to Masuyo who immediately understood.
"That's steep, Cha-chan…" Masuyo said.
"All's fair in love and war." I shrugged.
"Why do you hate Tamaki-senpai so much, Chi-chan?" Hana asked.
"That's not for me to say." I said.
"I respect you, Ootori." Yuuki smiled. "I'll help you."
"I'll help too!" Miku said. Masuyo coughed.
"I wonder why."
"Sorry, but I'm too busy drawing and selling yaoi doujinshi's of the Host Club under the rader!"
"I'll bet Kyoya-chan doesn't like that a lot…" I said.
"IF he found out he wouldn't!" Masuyo smirked.
"How about I promise I'll get you with Hikaru?" I said.
"You couldn't do that…" Masuyo said. "But… No! I won't give in!"
"Just think." I said. "You and Hikaru together…"
"Damn it! Fine, Cha-chan!" I smiled in victory.
"I believe in you, Chi-chan!" Hana said.
"I'm not going to do it!" Rie said. I sighed. I knew getting her was going to be harder. As to be expected, though. She has been a long time customer to the Host Club.
"What a shame." Masuyo said. "I'll bet Tamaki would've noticed you."
"What?" She said, getting interested.
"Tamaki would've definitely notice someone on the opposing side. Perhaps a romance could blossom between you two… But since you're not doing it…"
"I suppose I could do it…" Rie said. "Because you are practically begging me. I'm such a busy person, you know."
"There's only one more thing to do. Get the Chairman to approve. Who wants to come with me?" They all started to slink away. I managed to catch Masuyo and Hana before they slipped away. "Looks like I found my volunteers." I said.
"You look evil when you have that face, Chi-chan…" Hana whimpered.
"I agree. I'm wondering if that promise of Hikaru-kun is worth it…" Masuyo said.
"Stop whining." I said. "Meet me tomorrow morning an hour before school to talk to the Chairman."
*The next morning*
We went up to the Chairman's office, and by luck, he was available and we didn't have to wait.
"A Geisha Club, huh?" He said.
"Yes, sir." I said. Hana and Masuyo were in the back of the room, standing quietly.
"We already have a Host Club. Why should we make a budget for a new club that is similar?"
"Because, sir, the Host Club fails to reach the male population that isn't homosexual."
"Good point, so would you be Chairman of this club, Zhang Chiya?"
"She's a Zhang?!" Hana whispered. Masuyo hushed her.
"If you don't mind, sir, I would prefer you to call me by my real last name of Ootori."
"But don't you think it gets a bit confusing sometimes with your family friend, Ootori Kyoya? He's a fine boy, if I do say so myself. Only my own adorable son could top him!" He said extravagantly.
He definitely loves his son… I could feel my sweat drop.
"That may be so, but I don't really like having my classmates know that I am a Zhang. It'd turn out to be a pain for me, and, yes, I would be Chairman of this club."
"Tell me one more good reason that I should fund this club, and I will."
"For financial matters." I said.
"How is this so?"
"If you fund this club, half of the profit goes into the club and the other half goes through to the school. When this takes off, which will be soon, it will make the school richer."
"So I see… Very good. One more thing…"
"With all due respect, sir, you said only one more thing." I said.
"I know, but, how do you know that people will buy your services and… who else's now?"
"Nishimura Masuyo, Hasagawa Hana, Okada Rie, Samurakami Yuuki, and Murakami Miku." I said.
"That's an interesting mix, if I do say myself."
"They are who I want." I said, plainly.
"And you have the utmost confidence in the people you chose?"
"Yes, sir." I said firmly.
"Hmm…The club can use the First Music Room. Will that suffice?"
"Actually. Could we have both the First Music Room and the club room attached?"
"Chi-chan! You're being to demanding!" Hana hissed. I continued on,
"We need two rooms for what we are doing and they are right next to each other." I said.
"All right. You may."
"Thank you. It was a pleasure doing business with you."
Kyoya
"WHAAAA! Kyoya! Where did I go wrong? I was so cordial to Chiya! I wanted for her to like me for Kyoya!" Tamaki wailed.
"Chiya really is Kyoya's sister." The twins shrugged. I smacked Tamaki with a roll of paper and said,
"Calm down. It's just Chiya."
"She needs to learn how to be more social." Hikaru said.
"She just sits there during class and studies." Kaoru said.
"If you look closely, they aren't notes for class." I said.
"Ehh? Then what are they?" Honey asked.
"She wouldn't like for me to say."
"I am determined for her to like me!" Tamaki said.
"I don't think anything you do will help your cause." That sent Tamaki into his dark corner. "How about we start the meeting? It is going to take long enough as it is." I ended the meeting early because Tamaki was being a nuisance being depressed and the rest of them didn't seem to have an attention span today either. I would just have to plan the rest at home.
As everyone left, I went to the Chairman's office. After I had knocked on the door, I entered his office.
"Ah, Kyoya! How nice to see you! Tell me, how is my idiot son doing?"
"Tamaki is doing well." The Chairman laughed heartily.
"I see! Now, what brings you here?"
"I have a favor to ask of you, sir."
"Oh? What is that?"
"I am almost certain that Chiya will come by here tomorrow and ask you a favor."
"It seems you Ootori ask favors a lot." He kidded. I gave him a small smile to acknowledge his joke. "But is the Zhang family really okay? Their loss must have hit close to home."
"They are recovering from their loss. He will surely be missed." I nodded.
"He was such a good man. Bright, intelligent, I do believe he even graduated from Ouran."
"Yes, sir."
"What a pity, as they say in English, 'Why must the good die young?' It seems to me, however, Chiya is taking it quite well for someone her age."
"Let's get back to the topic at hand, shall we, Chairman?"
"Ah, yes. Something about the young lass."
"Yes." I continued, "I have a feeling that she will come and ask to open up a club against the Host Club."
"Why would I agree to a club that would go against my dear son?" The Chairman asked, amused. I smiled a small smile. This was definitely going well.
"Just for the benefits that it could hold, in the end."
"But who would the benefits be for?"
"If all goes well, it could benefit the Host Club and even the school."
"How so?"
"If my guess is correct, I would say that Chiya is going to open up a female counter-part to the Host Club, thus making money off of the males of this high school. She may even think of extending her club to have males so that she can serve females, like the Host Club. If, at some point, we could join the Host Club with her club, I feel that it would create a big success for this school and be the crowning jewel of the school."
"Very well put. I'll think it over. When do you think she will start to come my way?"
"Tomorrow morning. Probably around seven. An hour before school. So please do not make any appointments."
"I got it. Thank you for this interesting conversation, Kyoya."
"Not at all a problem, sir."
