Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC. Some of the ideas also come from "Double Arts" Manga. I do not own that either. I do recommend reading it though it has a good story line but ends abruptly. This is not a crossover I just used some ideas from it.

Chapter 1: A new town a new start. Clock Start- count down 1 year

"Quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow," said a man in his early forties. He had light orange stubble on me his chin and strawberry blond short cut hair. He was well built and held himself well as he was clapping to each step he pronounced. Don't get me wrong I have no physical attachment to the man, one because he is too old for me and two he was hired by my family to be my dancing instructor. Yes I know dancing instructor what the hell, but it's a rule in our family to be quite in tune with dancing and your partner, no I do not have a dancing partner as all the guys my family picked put did not work well with me. Not because I was horrible at dancing, I hold myself quite well and can follow other peoples' movements without a thought, it's because I refused to match my partners tune and every time they catch up I would 'accidentally' step on their toes and cause them to fall over. It is said in our family that our dancing partner will eventually become our partner for life if we are seen to work well together and keep in tune with each other. So in other words it's like a test before anyone can court me. Hell I'm a 15 year old girl I don't want to get married/engaged yet, I have a lot of things I want to do, well not really I have kinda already done almost everything I wanted to do due to because I am rich. Not that I flaunt it or anything, my father is a trades man and is in charge of all the exports in and out of Australia while my mother comes from a rare martial arts family in Australia but keep that a secret no-one knows of the origins of this style and the fact it's Australian and not of Asian descent is quite a feat in itself. Any way our family has this rule that we must find a partner before we are 16 so we are able to complete our training together. The training is for the martial arts style my mother was born into. It's quite weird really the style is based on two people able to flow and connect without saying anything, but I won't go too much into that you will find out more lately. But in order to find a partner we do this shitty initiation dance with them to see how we move together if all goes well we step up to different styles of dancing to check the flow between us and then into final form and technique. Not one of my partners has passed the initiation stage. Sigh. I at least know a variety of dances that have been taught to me over the last 8 years, and I am quite good at most of them. Well back to where we were before my dancing instructor. Charles. I know cool right I named him myself, well acutely his name is Kyle but I like the name Charles better so I call him that, he doesn't see, to mind at least. Neither does my butler Sebastian….I mean James. But Sebastian is a much cooler name for a butler don't you think. I looked up to Charles to see he was smiling, I mean he is always smiling but this time more so than usual. That's when I realize that with all this thinking I was matching my partners' steps. Time to change that. I purposely move my foot in a way no-one would know and got him to step on my foot and push me over. Charles smile dropped, yes now to finish this idiot.

"Grrr look what you did can't you follow a song as slow as this you bumbling buffoon." I called out to the shocked boy. "Charles I demand another partner, I refuse one that will push me over and refuse to help me up." I said still sitting on the floor while the boy froze in shock. I mean hey I'm not usually this bitchy but this is my life we're talking about I would have to marry him if we were able to keep in sink, he didn't even do shit I was the one following his movements I want a guy who can follow my trick movements I put in. That's how I do this test. Prove your worth boys, not one of you is good enough. I cheered in my head. I got up and dusted myself.

"I'm going back to my room Charles, get Sebastian to show him out," I called as I made my way outside the ball room.

As I got upstairs I flomped onto my large queen sized bed pulling out the latest issue of 'Jump'(1) and started flicking though the pages.

It was another hour later that Seb came up and said that dinner was ready and that my parents were expecting me to come down, calling out to him that I would be down in a bit; I retreated to my washroom to splash my face before walking down to the dining room. Taking my seat to the left of my father as the right was occupied by my mother I started piling on heaps of food onto my plate, enough to feed a horse.

"Alex" my father called. I set my utensils back on the table and looked towards him. Seeing that he had my full attention he continued, "Your mother and I have been talking, and we both know that you're intentionally making all these boys fail the dancing test so we have come up with an idea. You have until your 16 to find a partner but we have decided that we are going to send you to Ouran Academy in Japan as a change of pace. We are giving you one year if you don't find a partner within this time we will pick one for you and you will not be able to refuse is that clear."

Shock was clearly showing on my face they were sending me to study in Japan no doubt at a rich school, but they were giving me a year its February at the moment and my birthday is in October. They were giving me 4 extra months to find a partner. Clearly not processing the consequences of not finding a partner I nodded my head in response, still shocked at the fact they were giving 4 months extra to find someone, the logical part of me said it was because I will be in another country till February and that is why I get more time but I was just stunned into silence to retaliate against the downside.

"Great," my father said, "You will leave in the morning, and I'll have Kyle and James accompany you on your trip."

I looked at my plate suddenly not feeling very hungry and excused myself from the table. I made my way straight to the bathroom and into the bathtub as I waited for it to fill up. When the water was high enough I turned it off and relaxed back onto the edge of the tub.
Studying in Japan, now that might actually be fun.

I stayed in the tub lost in my thoughts until the water was relatively cold, pulled the plugged, dried myself and got changed for bed. Turning off the lights I crawled into bed readying myself for what was going to happen tomorrow; at least Charles and Sebastian were coming along with me.

Being woken up the next morning was not fun indeed, with Lara the maid opening the closed curtain letting the horrible rays to enter my room, groaning I pulled the sheets over myself trying to get away from the bright beams. At first it was dark again and quite warm, until all became light and cold. I realised Lara had striped the bed putting the sheets into a wash basket smiling at my annoyed glare I was giving her.

"Have fun on your trip Miss I hope to see you again soon." She grinned and left the room.

"Stupid demon maid always stripping my bed with me still on it." I grumbled as I dragged myself to the bathroom to have a shower.

After the tedious task of washing I redressed in a black shirt, green cargo pants and a pair of thongs. I tried to smooth down my short brown hair, giving up halfway. At least I tried to look presentable. I trudged on down the stair giving a kiss on my mums and dads cheek while plonking in my seat and filling my plate high with pancakes and dribbling syrup over the stack.

After my belly was stated and fair wells were done I was finally awake enough to walk to the limo without acting on auto pilot. While waving through the open window at my parents Charles and Sebastian climbed in and the limo drove to the airport.

After about an hours drive the limo stopped and then my door was opened for me.

"Here is your boarding pass Miss Reid I hope you enjoy your trip." The driver said while Seb got our bags.

Making our way through the airport we checked in and moved to the departures lounge. My parents knew I hate using our family jet so they booked me in first class on a Qantas plane.

The trip was long, luckily I was able to drag Seb and Charles into first class to quench my boredom even if only for a small amount of time.

The next thing I know I was being shook awake by Seb claiming that we had arrived. Wow when did I fall asleep? Shaking my head we left the plain and made our way through arrivals. I was lucky I could read Japanese, so finding the line that said Australia-Japan was easy. After claiming our luggage and a warm smile from the travel attendant we left the airport in a limo that my parents had paid to pick us up and take us to my family's holiday villa.

Another long drive later we arrived at the villa, it was quite big but not mouth dropping extent I believe it was because of the exchange rate that we could this one for the price of a small one even if we didn't need the space.

"Seb, Charles" I called over to my traveling companions. "While we are here, Seb will be head butler as I'm sure this place has staff to keep it clean and Charles will be my only instructor ok. You guys will also have pick after me at any room that you guys like." I smiled at my companions as I walked up to the door.

Greeted by the entire staff of the villa I smiled with, "I'm so happy to be here please treat me well." In perfect Japanese.

An elderly lady stepped forward, "It's nice to finally meet you Miss Reid –"

"Alex" I cut her off. "Please call me Alex."

"Very well Alex, my name is Shinka head maid of this estate. The place is clean so you can pick your room freely and dinner will be served at 6 giving you time to freshen up." Shinka said with a bow.

I nodded and thanked her while continuing into the villa trying to find the perfect room. 'Charles and Seb will be fine with the introductions,' I thought to myself. I finally came across a room that was quite spacious and had an on suite and a walk-in wardrobe. The bed was massive it looked to fit at least 5 grown adults comfortably, and was dressed in a red and black quilt cover with blood-red pillows with black and silver dragons. Smiling I ran into the room and jumped on the bed. Oh my god this room was perfect, and the sheets are silk and oh so comfy. Racing into the bathroom next, flipping on the light I came face to face with a room half the size of my bedroom but still pretty big, light blue tiles with cherry blossom patterns on the walls. The Bathtub was the size of a large Jacuzzi and there was a shower to the side. Fuck. Even the toilet looked perfect and shiny.

Retreating from the bathroom I found that Seb must have brought up my suit case as it was in the middle of the room, how he finds me I have no clue. Grabbing a change of clothes I ran back into the bathroom I turned on the Jacuzzi. Checking the time…4:30pm. Good I can have at least an hour to soak. When the tub was filled I stepped into the warm water relaxing my muscles that had tightened during the flight.

Scene skip: cause I don't feel like writing about taking a bath…..

Making my way down stairs I looked to see roast on the table with the maids standing in front of the wall waiting for me while Charles and Sebastian where waiting at the door. Seb offered his arm to me and I took it letting him lead me to the head of the table. Well what are you waiting for you guys sit down to I said to my companions, they nodded and took their places next to me. I looked towards this estates staff and counted 7 people in total I looked towards Shinka. "Oi, you guys coming to join me, it's so boring eating alone." Shinka looked stunned. Like you have just handed her the world, I mean it's just dinner what's the big deal. "Don't make me repeat myself, all you maid come here and eat with me." They looked really hesitant at first but started to walk towards the table. "Wait what about the cooks or did you guys do the cooking." I stated. Shinka shook her head "I'll go and get the head chief for you miss." She retreated and came back with a stern looking man with a scar on his chin.

"You wished to see me young master." The chief said with a bow.

"Stop being so formal and come and sit down at the table I would like to get to know everyone." He nodded his head an sat next to Shinka who was next to Sebastian.

After a good meal and introductions, I found out that the chief was called Kei and I found out the names of all the other staff members. By the end of the night I managed to convince them to eat with me at all meals that I have at the villa.

Overall a successful night. Tomorrow was going to be hell though. It will be the first day at Ouran High but it's just for formalities and uniforms I would be starting classes the day after.

Time Skip Next morning

Waking up was rough it turns out that Shinka does exactly what Lara does and strips your bed to get you out of it. Evil maids. Or Seb told her that I won't get up unless it's forceful. Damm plotting staff. Dragging myself to the dining room I found breakfast prepared and the staff waiting at the table for me.

"Good morning Alex, I trust you slept well." Seb said from the side. I grunted in response.

One of the maid Kiki I think her name is brought me a boxed lunch and went to the end of the table to eat. Finishing my meal rather quickly I went back upstairs to shower and dress before coming back down. I was in light green cargos and a navy blue shirt.

Walking out the door my driver brought around the limo and off we went to Ouran Academy.
