As we all know from various ohshc fan fictions we have all read basically every other story has the main character be Haruhi’s twin. And this fan fiction is no different, but there’s a twist. Haruhi’s twin is a boy, Yup you heard me a guy. His name is Harou Fujioka, he’s Haruhi’s older twin brother and he doesn’t show lots of his emotions. Harou and Haruhi look almost identical, except for the fact that Harou’s hair is a dark brown and his brown eyes have a red sheen to them. And for poor Harou, he's always been living in his little sister's giant shadow. disclaimer: i don't own oruran high school host club. all rights go to it's rightful owner so don't sue also this will be shonen ai/yaoi, if you don't like it don't read and complain AUTHORS NOTE: CHAPTERS 1-4 HAVE BEEN UPDATED/EDITED [OHSHCwattyawards 2nd place winner 2013]

Book Two of the "Home" series. "Don't be scared, Tael. Things might look bad but they will get better. They always do." "But how can you know for sure?" "Because I just do." Some of you might remember Alice Carlea Jones, sometimes known as Melina Andrews. Well, she got married. She has three children now, too. And someone, or something, is trying to kill her. They want to tear her life apart as well as her family. Everything that is happening is connected in a strange and disconcerting way. Perhaps not even her uncle's vast knowledge of magical phenomena can save her. She has to find out who or what it is that wants to kill her, and for what reason. And, eventually, find her way back home again. Preferably all in one piece, but there aren't any guarantees anymore. "There is work to be done, Alice. You're needed elsewhere." CanadaxOC, EnglandxOC, AmericaxOC, ScotlandxOC, RussiaxOC, PrussiaxOC, and possibly a few other various OCxOC pairings I'll throw in later on. Things are a little iffy in the planning, but then again they always are. Hetalia AU(s) Rated PG-13 for swearing, some suggestive themes, a character death, and too much awesomeness for your own good. BAH, read at your own risk. Feels will be crushed, revived, and crushed again in a never-ending cycle. Sorry, that's just how I work. And you'll enjoy yourself, I promise. Hetalia is owned by Hidekaz Himaruya, I own nothing I reference/use! All I possess are the OCs, the plot, and the work it takes to create this story.

Hi, I'm Melina Andrews. Or at least, that's who I thought I was until recent events. I was living with my "dad" until I ran away because he was an abusive drunkard and a bastard, but I'd never gotten the courage to actually leave until I was around 15, almost 16. But after disguising myself as a boy so it would be harder to be recognized by my dad, I enrolled in a private school called Gakuen for a few different reasons. It seemed like the right idea at the time, and while I love it there, I'm taking a lot of risks. I swear, if my new friend Matthew wasn't helping me, I'd have been kicked out a LOOOONG time ago. Things in me have been changing recently (no, I don't mean puberty) and I'm not sure why. And what's this possibility of my being a... country?
