A/U: Hey guys! This is my Ouran High School Host Club Fic! Hope you enjoy!

Haruhi's Color

Chapter 1

Haruhi was walking down the halls of the school to get to the Music Room 3. On her way, she noticed that a lot of people were staring at her.

'What are they staring at?'

She then arrived at the doors and opened them. She noticed everyone was there, and she was late again.

"Welcome."

They said as usual. She then noticed their intense stare on her.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

She questioned. However, their stare didn't falter.

Hikaru was the first one to speak.

"What's that on your jacket pocket?"

She looked down.

"Oh, that's just a red pin. It's written 'family memories', why?"

"Why do you have it there?"

Kaoru questioned. She gave him a surprised look, then looked away quickly.

"W-well, because today is a special day. My dad's wearing the same."

"Why?"

Kyoya was rather curious at this point.

"Well, because, my mo-I mean dad's birthday is coming up, a-and I got him these pins as a part 1 of his gift."

"But why are they red?"

Honey couldn't hold in the question any longer.

"Because! My dad likes red alright? Jeez, enough with the questions already!"

They were all shocked at her behaviour. She had snapped before in the past, but nothing like this, for something so simple.

"Well, anyway, we need to get on with the usual. The ladies will be coming in at any minute. Time is money you know?"

Kyoya was desperate at this point to break the awkward silence between them all. As Haruhi was getting prepared for todays activities, all of the host club members shared one though 'What's wrong with Haruhi?'

After the club, when everyone was getting ready to go home, Haruhi was the last to get ready. All of the guys stayed behind, observing her, waiting for her to move from the spot she was in during the whole club time.

"What's wrong with Haruhi? She's been acting weird lately."

Hikaru looked at his twin, trying to come up with an answer to his comment.

"What's up with her? Haru-chan is usually more happy then that."

"She'll be fine Mitsukuni."

"You mean it Takashi?"

Mori nodded to the little blond Lolita.

"Okay. Come on Usa-chan. Let's go eat some strawberry cheese-cake."

Honey walked past the club members to the doors.

"Hope she gets better."

With that, Mori followed the blond out the doors of the music room.

"Haruhi? Are you sure you don't want a ride home?"

Haruhi shook her head at the silly blond.

"No thanks senpai. I'll be fine."

"Uh, okay. See you tomorrow."

Tamaki slowly made his way to the doors.

"Haruhi, if you don't come in tomorrow, I won't raise your debt. Take as long as you want to feel better. Well, I better be off."

Kyoya left without another word, feeling slightly gloomy himself.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Only if you think we should bring her with us, then yes."

"Well then Hikaru, let's go."

The pesky little twins made their way over to Haruhi.

"Oh Haaaruhiiiiiiii~"

The twins said in unison.

"Huh? What is it?"

"We were wondering if you would like to come hang out with us at our house."

"Yeah, Kaoru and I want you to come with us."

"I need to go home guys. I can't. Maybe this weekend."

And with that, Haruhi got up and left.

Haruhi arrived at her apartment. She unlocked the door and trudged in slowly, not wanting to go inside. She saw a not on the fridge door that read 'Dear Haruhi, I will be working late tonight, I won't come home until later, or even tomorrow. Depending. Anyway, see you soon. Love, Dad!' When she finished the note, she smiled.

'I love you too dad.'

She then walked to her room and sat down on the bed. She sighed heavily.

"Well, gotta get to work."

She then changed and went to the sanctuary of her mom she had in the living room.

"Happy birthday mom. Hope you like the red roses I put on your grave earlier today. I know your favourite color was red, so I got the red roses. I love you mom, hope you're happy."

She then sighed again. She was not in the mood to do anything. Her dad had learned a few days prior that he had gotten a strange illness and they weren't sure whether he'd live or die. She was depressed because she didn't want to lose both her parents.

'What should I make us for dinner?'

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the bell ring.

"Coming!"

She got up and walked to the door. She looked down to make sure she was presentable. She was wearing a white blouse that hid her curves and chest, as well as black jeans that were baggy. With her outfit, it made her look like a guy.

'Good, nothing untidy.'

She then put her hand on the handle and another ring went before she opened the door.

"What?"

To her surprise, all of the host club members were there.

"Uh, why are you guys here?"

"Because Haru-chan! We wanted to cheer you up since you were gloomy all day!"

"Uh, sure, come in I guess."

She moved out of the way to let them in.

"Oh, by the way, I brought you these."

He cave her a bag of crab legs.

"Uh, thanks, but why?"

"They were on special, so it didn't cost much."

'This guy never pays more then 10 bucks on anything I'm sure.'

Kyoya put the bag of clams on the kitchen table before exploring her house, as if he hadn't been over a billion times. The rest of the members did the same, exploring it like they came for the first time.

'I wonder if they'll ever learn that they came over more then a hundred times?'

She then made her way to her bedroom. She closed the door and took a book out from under her bed. She sat on her bed, her back facing the door, and began to read her novel.

'Might as well relax and read while they look around.'

She didn't notice the door open slightly. She read her book from where she left off. It was a romance novel. She read it in secret because she didn't want anyone to know she liked romance novels. Suddenly, she felt someone, or people, in back of her. She quickly turned around to come face to face with the entire host club.

"Uh, hey guys, what's wrong?"

"We were wondering where you went-"

"So we came here to look for you."

Hikaru finished his twin's sentence.

"Uh, I was just reading a book."

"What type of book Haru-chan?"

"Oh, it's nothing Honey-senpai. It's just a book."

"Can I see it?"

"No senpai."

Tamaki pouted and made a puppy-eyed face.

"Please?"

"No, now get out."

"Haruhi, you should treat guests more friendly. We are guests after all."

She gave Kyoya a glare.

"Fine, but just get out. I have to change something."

She pushed them out the door then sighed heavily.

'This will be a long day.'
