DISCLAIMER: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or any of the characters IN Kingdom Hearts. Tamashi and Yokubo are my own OCs though. The plot was (somewhat) inspired by Rozen Maiden. Enjoy.

.:Prologue:.

I never wanted to get involved with any of this.

With any of them.

I sat on my bed, hugging my knees close to my chest. I sighed heavily and stared at the ceiling.

'Just hold on,' his voice echoed, sounding exactly as it did over the phone. 'Okay, Hun? Just wait for me to come get you. We can go somewhere better.'

Tears streamed down my cheeks. "Why?" I whispered to myself. "Why the hell did you do that, Dad?" I choked out his name and more tears fell down my face.

'R-Really?' I remembered asking hopefully. 'We can leave? Just like that?' He chuckled slightly at how shocked I was, but he was completely aware of how desperate I was to get out of that damn town; everyone knew how much I hated it.

'Just pack some of your stuff and wait for me out front, okay?' he said. 'Don't pack too much, I'll get you new things once we find a different place to stay in.'

'Okay, love you Daddy. See you in a bit.'

'Love you too, Tama-chan.' he said, hanging up.

I never heard from him after that. Even after I excitedly packed my things; even after I waited him the entire day; he never showed up.

It's been a month since that day. A month since my "beloved" father, the only parent I had left, made an empty promise that life would get better.

If I hadn't been so naïve that day; if I had believed him; it wouldn't have hurt me.

He wouldn't have hurt me.

I let a couple more tears fall before wiping them away.

Suddenly, my bedroom door burst open and my older brother stormed in.

"Get your lazy ass-" he stopped when he realized I was already up. "Oh, you're already awake." He continued to stare at me. "Oh my god," he rolled his eyes. "Were you seriously crying again? I don't really see how bawling your eyes out is going to fix-" His sentence was ended abruptly once the book I threw at him hit its target: his face.

"Just. Get. Out." I spat angrily, making sure to clearly articulate each word so that he wouldn't misunderstand. He rubbed the spot on his face where the book hit him.

"Whatever." He said, then left my room, slamming the door shut behind him.

"Damn it, Yokubo! Do you have to slam my door?" I muttered. "Baka."

That was my morning, every morning, for the last month.

I've been stuck living with Yokubo; the brother I've never gotten along with, in damn Twilight Town; the city I've hated growing up in.

My name is Tamashi Itsuka. I'm 17-years-old.

I've hated my life for as long as I could remember. My life had misfortune after misfortune, until I finally came across my greatest misfortune:

The day I met them.

Author's Note: I hope you like this and decide to keep reading because things will get good eventually! Besides, who wouldn't want AkuRoku incest in future chapters? Oops, I said too much. ;D

Anyways, I know prologues are boring but please read and review!
