I had an epiphany (a moment of great revelation). I was reading through the OHSHC FanFiction and this hit me. I do not own OHSHC.


Sunny's POV

It hadn't even been a week before I had gotten a phone call from some stranger. Obviously a guy, Japanese, but I could vaguely recognize his voice. It was from a distant memory, from the first time I was at a funeral.

Ten Years Ago

Me and the little girl were sitting under a tree. My father had told me she was a year younger than me, when he said for us to wait there while he and another man talked. She didn't say much, even with my six-year-old brain I knew she was upset about her mother. I would be too.

"It'll be alright," I said, grabbing her hand, trying hard to reassure her. She still didn't say anything. "Dad tells me that your mom was nice, very pretty. Just like you." I wasn't really even making things up, I really liked her brown hair and her chocolate eyes.

She shrugged, there was this far off look in her eyes that told me she was thinking. I sighed, trying to think of something that would get her to talk.

Up above, I heard a nest a birds. The little baby birds were making noises, probably hungry. An idea popped into my head. I tugged on her hand, getting up. "You want to see the birdies?" She nodded. "Come on." I lead her to the trunk, cupping my hands the way I've seen Dad do when he gives me a lift to get something just out of his reach.

She carefully put her foot there and as I lifted her up she was able to grab a branch, which seemed to be difficult since she was wearing a dress. I gave her a little push and she managed to get herself into a sitting position. I was panting a little, I had never been able to lift someone, but considering how small she was, it was easy enough.

"How are you going to get up?" Her voice startled me, it sounded like wind, calm and light. I looked up, noticing worry in her eyes.

She didn't look strong enough to help me up, and even if she was able to, who would get the both of us down? "It's alright, you have a look at the birdies. Just tell me when you're ready to come down." She frowned a little at that, opening her little mouth to say something, but then a bigger bird flew to the nest. "Is that the mom?"

"Yeah, she's feeding them."

"Do they really feed the babies by throwing up their food? That's just gross," I said, my stomach churning at the thought.

"Maybe, but it's a necessary thing, so the babies get fed." I just shrugged. I looked around, bored out of my mind. I saw my dad and the other man with him. He was the little girl's father. He looked really sad, there was a red color around his eyes, the same as the girl's.

"Hey, I think you should come down now, your dad is here." She nodded, gently lowering herself. I grabbed her by the legs and let her down.

"Thank you," she whispered.

"Your welcome," I said. "I don't think I told you my name, I'm Sunlight." I put out my hand.

She looked at it for a second before awkwardly putting hers in mine. "I'm Haruhi."

"You act as if I'm going to bite you." She looked down, clearly embarrassed that I could read her. "Sorry, that wasn't very nice."

"I'm just not used to strangers."

"It's okay, I feel that way too whenever my mom takes me to play with her friend's kids. They're too loud when they play. I would much rather just be with my parents. They're quiet and don't make me play with mud."

Haruhi laughed. I felt my face get hot, but then I started laughing too. It was a few minutes before we were able to stop, but by that time our fathers had already arrived.

"I see you've made a new friend, Sunny."

"Yup, she's nice," I managed to get out before I yawned. I rubbed my eyes, tired.

"It seems as if the Jet-lag must be getting to her," said the man next to him.

"Come on, it's time to go home, Sunny," my Dad said, picking me up. He tucked my legs under me and patted my back. "Bye Ryouji, once again my condolences."

"You too, Kage," Haruhi's dad said. (A/N: Kage = Shadow, in Japanese) He patted my Dad's shoulder, the one that wasn't supporting my head. Dad sighed.

"Goodbye, then." He started walking away.

"Wait," I urged. He did. "I want to say bye, too." I stretched over his shoulder and waved to them. "Bye-bye Haruhi, it'll be alright. You have your daddy to watch over you," I said, smiling.

She waved back, holding on to her dad's hand with the other. "Bye, Sunlight."

"It's okay, you can call me Sunny." I leaned my head against Dad's neck, watching them until my eyes refused to stay open.


Present

"Do I know you," I asked into the phone.

"Yes, we met a long time ago," he sighed. "I wouldn't blame you if you don't remember me, you were just a little girl when we met. You would remember my daughter more, Haruhi."

I gasped, "Uncle?" That was the last thing I said before my phone fell to the floor.


I hope that this is good. I would appreciate reviews and constructive criticism. For those of you that keep up with my Fairy Tail FanFiction, don't worry I will still be writing it. I just wanted to, as Tamaki puts it, expand my horizon.
