The Perfect Prince isn't so Perfect. ((Ouran High School Host Club))

Chapter 3: The Ouran ball and blowing everything else out of the water

The ball was tonight and Haruhi has learned how to dance quite nicely and Tamaki isn't so depressed that he didn't get to dance with Haruhi at the ball. "Ladies, try your best, because if you win then you shall receive a patient kiss on the cheek from our king." They all swooned and I fixed my bowtie and coat. Sara couldn't join us so that helped me out a whole bunch. Her swim team had to go away for a two day practice somewhere in the sea. I danced with many girls but then I got tired of dancing so much. I saw that they captured Haruhi for Tamaki's plan of getting Kanako and her fiancee together. I slipped away and followed. I saw Haruhi in a cute dress with a long dark brown wig. "You should wear that sort of thing more little sister." I said and hugged her, she sat down and Hikaru and Kaoru put makeup on her. Tamaki was smiling, saying that she was adorable. We all rushed out and headed to the balcony where Kanako and her fiancee were dancing by spot light. I sat on the molding of the balcony when I felt a push I dangled there with wide eyes. I was far off the ground and no one noticed. I saw girls squealing over the kiss Haruhi gave to Kanako. I felt a pair of hands at my chest and they lifted me back onto the balcony. I looked up and saw Mori. "Thanks Mori." I said and he nodded. The night ended quickly and I walked home, I felt as though I was being followed. A car was going abnormally slow... how stupid do they think I am? I began to run past my house and the car began to speed up. I stopped and they zoomed past me coming to a stop after three seconds. Tamaki exited and I sighed, "Are you going home?" He asked and I nodded, "you should be too." I said and he blushed. He drove off and I began to walk back home after I knew they couldn't see me anymore.

In the morning I slept in and smiled at the beautiful Saturday. I turned on my stereo and listed to one of my favorite songs. "If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses." I sang along. I needed to go food shopping and after that incident with Tamaki I'll go to the market as a girl. I took a shower and put on my dark wig. I applied as much makeup as I could without looking like a cross dresser. I put on a cream dress with white heels and a black pea-coat. I grabbed my purse and wallet and proceeded to walk down the lane when I saw the Host Club sniffing around. I walked right past them before they stopped me. "Ma'am, is there a Modoku residence around here?" Tamaki asked. I shrugged and tried to walk away again but now Honey stopped me, "he's just about Tama-Chan's height." He said and hugged Usa-Chan closer to him. I shook my head and bowed, "why don't you speak?" Uh, because not everyone is so stupid that if I speak they won't recognize me. I pulled out a note pad and a pen. I of course remember how to write girlish so this should be easier than speaking. ("I can't speak. I am truly sorry that I can't help you.") I wrote and was glad that Kyoya wasn't around and that Haruhi wasn't around either. They would have figured me out. "No, were so sorry that we-" Tamaki said and nearly busted out into tears. I put my finger to his lips and smiled. I walked off and bought what I needed from the store and came back to see that all the boys were still looking around for my house. "It's you again!" The twins said flung their arms around my shoulders. I smiled and waved with my arms full of groceries. "Do you want help?" Mori asked and I shook my head as my supplies were taken from my by Tamaki. I pinched his cheek and he squealed in pain. The twins were laughing and I had to refrain from laughing with them. ("Don't you know it's mean to help a girl who can do things on her own?") I wrote after he gave my back my bags. "Sorry... what's your name?" He asked, he recited all of the hosts names. ("Hana Mananoke, nice to meet you everyone.") I wrote and bowed. I looked at my slim banded watch and pointed to it and bowed. "Guys let's come back another day... Hana, why not visit the Host Club someday?" Tamaki asked and I shrugged. They left and after they did I sighed and kept walking home.

I removed all the makeup and the wig. I got dressed in my normal clothes and placed all the groceries away. I spent the day doing work around the house when I got a phone call from Kyoya. I know him, he's going to track this back to me. It's really eating him up that he doesn't know where I live. I grabbed my phone and began to ran to a park. "Hello?" I asked smiling, I was far enough away from my house. "Tamaki wants to see you. Where do you live?" He asked and I smiled, "tell him to pick me up at Ouran." I said and hung up. I began to run to Ouran and stood there when I saw Tamaki drive up with the rest of the hosts. "Ashitaka, why won't you tell us where you live?" The twins asked in unison. I smiled, "it's a game, if you show up at my house one day, you win. If you don't you loose." I said and poked Mori's cheek. I smiled and waved, "I'll be seeing you." I said and walked the opposite way of my house. I might as well kill some time. I walked down and weaved through buildings and alleyways. They were following me so why don't I just have a bit more fun with this? I climbed a ladder to the top of the building and looked down and saw that the hosts were confused on where I went to. I began to jump building from building back to my house. I jumped through my open skylight... wait... I never leave that open. I saw the host club walking up to my house when I heard a glass jar tip. I turned around and ducked just as a knife flew past my head and went out the window sticking into the concrete below. I jumped out of the way of the punches and hit his feet t from under him. A gun was fired and I moved just in time so it didn't hit anything major. The door was broken down and I heard feet stampede up the stairs. I jumped the guy with the gun and broke his nose. The other guy held a gun to my head and I felt my life slip away. But I stayed strong, "Ashitaka!" I heard Mori yell. The guy turned around and, in surprise, shot his gun.
