A/N: So, this story's been in my head for a while, and I finally decided to write it. This is AU, so some of the characters might be a bit out of character. It's necessary for the story. :) By the way, this story takes place in the future, so the technology is more advanced. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story.

I don't own Ouran High School Host Club.

Prologue: The Ouran Program

Haruhi Fujioka was poor, there was no other way to sugarcoat it. She knew that, of course, and she didn't mind much. Money, status, gender; it didn't matter for her. It was how someone was on the inside that Haruhi cared about. She had always worked hard to get what she wanted. At the moment, what she wanted was to get accepted into the Ouran Program.

Only the most brilliant and talented teenagers were allowed into the Ouran Program. Wealth and status didn't matter. If you didn't meet the requirements, then you weren't accepted into it. Although, so far only the rich were accepted into the program. 'Commoners' like Haruhi had never been accepted before. Until Haruhi came along.

Haruhi wanted to become a successful lawyer one day, and the best way to become one was to get into the Ouran Program, where they, "Enhance your abilities and intelligence." It only took place in the summer, and everyone was required to stay there the whole time. No visitors were allowed, so Haruhi wouldn't be able to see her father at all. But it was a small price to pay to be accepted.

Haruhi stood in front of the building where she would be staying at for the while summer. It reminded Haruhi of a fort. It was surrounded by a fence, so no one would be able to leave. That probably should have made Haruhi uneasy, but she didn't mind very much. She picked up her suitcase and walked through the door.

Little did she know that there was a chance she wouldn't be coming out.
