They never let anyone into their world. It had always been just the two of them. No matter how much people tried to get to know them, they were turned away at every turn. And then, they somehow got involved in that club and met that new kid and suddenly they were… different. Suddenly they were more open, joking with others, flirting with girls, just happy in general.

I didn't trust it.

It had happened so gradually that, at first, I didn't notice. As soon as they entered high school I had tried to distance myself from them, to be known as something other than the Hitachiin twins little sister. For so many years people in my class had avoided me, not wanting to get on the bad side of the twins. Little did they all know that no matter what they did to me, my brothers wouldn't get involved. Things got worse as the twins got older and girls started to fall for them. I had heard about the trick the two played. The more they did the, the more the girls around me glared and began to make my life hell.

And then they entered high school and my life changed yet again. I avoided the so called Host Club when they visited the house – and girls that bombarded me at school wanting an "in" with my brothers. They didn't seem to understand that befriending me wouldn't help them in any way. I couldn't remember the last time I had an actual conversation with my brothers – actually, I wasn't sure I had ever had a true conversation with them. When we were kids, they had avoided me at all costs, only talking to each other. As we got older, I was just the annoying little sister that didn't fit into their "world". And though they opened up now because of the Host Club, they hadn't made any move of getting to know me. And there was no way I was going to make the first move.

Today was my first day at Ouran High School, my middle school days finally behind me. Which is how I found myself in a limo with my twin brothers, who were just entering their second year. Both of them sat with their arms crossed over their chests, golden eyes that matched my own fixated on me.

I ignored both of them, used to the two doing similar things at the dining room table when our parents forced us to eat together. They never said anything, just stared like the creeps they were. "So, are you excited for your first day in high school, Akira?"

I jumped, not expecting them to talk to me. I glanced up, not sure which spoke, "Not really. It isn't that big of a change."

"Will you be coming to the Host Club after classes?" The twin on the left asked. I narrowed my eyes, looking for the differences I knew the two had.

"No," I replied shortly, leaning my head back against the seat.

"Why not?" They asked together, brows furrowed.

I rolled my eyes as we pulled up to the school, "Oh, I don't know. Why wouldn't I want to go to a club to get insincere compliments and watch my brothers put on an act that I get to hear about every day in class?" I made my way out of the car, smiling at the chauffeur as he opened the door. "Thank you."

"Where are you going to go?" The first twin that got out of the limo asked, "No one will come to pick us up until club hours are over."

I shrugged, walking away from him, "I'll find something to do."

I was only a few feet away from them when I began to hear the whispers, "I didn't know they had a sister!"

"Do you think they are close-?"

"Her name is Akira, correct?"

"Maybe the twins will notice me more if I become friends with-"

I sighed deeply and bowed my head as I made my way towards the school, searching frantically for class 1A. I knew this was going to happen. It was bad enough when it was just the girls in my middle school class – to have the entire high school aware of who I was was just going to make everything much harder.

I kept my head down as I moved throughout the hall, dodging those that didn't notice me. I was almost to the class when I slammed into another body, sending myself crashing toward the ground. "Oh! I'm so sorry, princess! Are you okay?"

I looked up, wincing when I saw a familiar face. The blond in front of me didn't show any recognition as he helped me to my feet. "I'm fine," I said slowly, taking the books he had picked up.

"Are you sure, my lade? I would hate to have hurt such a beautiful girl such as yourself."

I blinked before rolling my eyes, "I'm fine. Excuse me."

The blond my brothers hung out with blinked in astonishment as I moved around him, once again making my way toward my class. It was going to be a very long year.

By the end of the day, I knew for sure absolutely nothing had changed from Middle School. Most of the people in my class ignored me, some whispered about how I was the twins sister, and two girls tried to talk to me. And by talk, I mean gush about my brothers.

As the girls all ran out of the room, talking about going to the Host Club, I slowly made my way to the library, on the opposite side of the school from the third music room. I was halfway there when I swore I could hear my name being called down the hall.

"Akira!"

I stopped and turned my head, now certain I had heard my name. I blinked in surprise when I saw my brother run toward me. One brother. Where was the other one?

"Come to the host club. You don't have to hang out with us or any of the guys, you could just do homework or something."

I raised an eyebrow, bewildered at the request. "Why?"

He shrugged, a smirk gracing his face, "We want you there. You can meet our friends."

I swallowed hard, trying to free the lump that had suddenly appeared in my throat. "You mean the blond?"

The twin in front of me, Hikaru?, smiled slightly. "That's Tamaki, or as we call him, my lord. So, are you coming?"

I hesitated for a second, and then followed my brother down the hall. I had absolutely no interest in the host club, but this was the first time either of my brothers had ever asked me to do anything. Even if I was going to sit in a corner by myself, at least one of them asked.

We made our way inside the music room, only for the blond to meet us. "Oh! Princess! I didn't hurt you earlier, did I?"

I opened my mouth to respond, only to be cut off by the brother at my side, "Hurt her?"

"We had an accident in the hall that led to the princess to fall on the ground," Tamaki responded, gently taking my hand and kissing it softly. Startled, I untangled myself from him as my brother turned to me.

"Are you alright?"

For what felt like the thousandth time that day, I blinked in surprise. What was going on? Just because I was in school with them now they decided to have an interest in my life? "Fine," I replied shortly, moving to the back of the room and taking out a book.

The club was…interesting. Tamaki's lines were hilarious, though the girls seemed to like them. Honey and Mori were fun to watch, mostly because Honey was adorable. Haruhi seemed likable enough, if a little boring. My brothers were… well, I tried not to watch as they pulled their "brotherly love" act. It wasn't really something I wanted to watch. And the last person in the club was Kyoya. Kyoya had been furiously writing in a black book the entire time, his eyes flickering over everyone in the club. I admit, I was extremely curious over what was in that book.

"Let's play the which one is Hikaru game!" The twins suddenly shouted, placing hats on their heads and spinning around. "Okay, who is Hikaru?"

The girls stared at them, tilting their heads to the side. "I know!" A blonde suddenly said, her head snapping in my direction. Oh no. "Let's ask Akira! She's their sister after all!"

The twins dropped their smiles instantly as everyone turned to face me. "Come on, Akira! Help us out!"

I looked between my brothers, trying to ignore the look in their eyes. "I have no idea."

There was absolute silence throughout the room and I avoided the twins eyes. "You can't tell your own brothers apart?" Haruhi asked, disbelief in his voice.

I narrowed my eyes at him as I stood. "Well, it's not as if I've ever had a conversation with them before this morning. Am I supposed to be able to tell them apart because they live three doors down from me?" I grabbed my book and made my way toward the door, "I think I'll wait outside."
