Hosting hours were over. Haruhi was sitting idly on the couch inside the Host Club room while answering her history homework. She heard the door open and saw Kyoya enter.

"It's already late, Haruhi." He said as he walked towards his chair and took his laptop.

"I'll go home after a few minutes. I'm almost done."

Kyoya looked outside the window and saw the sky begin to grow dark. "It's already late. Hurry up. I'll wait for you in the car." And with that, he left the room, leaving Haruhi alone.

"Thank you for the ride, sempai." Haruhi said as she got out of the limo.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Said Kyoya as the limo drove away from her apartment. She quickly got inside and started to prepare dinner when she noticed the note attached on the refrigerator. She read it:

Haruhi,

I'm going over to Misuzu-chan's tonight. He caught the flu and I'm going to help manage their pension while he's sick. Would it be ok for you to clean the cabinet in my room? It's dusty. Oh! And if you ever get scared of being alone, you can call Kyoya-kun and ask him to come over as long as the idiot blonde doesn't come with him.

Love,

Your Dad. :P

Haruhi heaved a sigh and started with the task given to her. She got the feather duster and made her way to her father's room.

"I'll finish cleaning while I'm waiting for the food to cook." She muttered and opened the cabinet. The sight that greeted her was that of dusty old boxes, randomly arranged in a disheveled manner. Since the boxes only contained some pictures and papers, Haruhi was able to get the boxes out and start cleaning. When she was finished, she started putting the boxes back, separating those which contain the papers from the pictures. She was about to put the last box of paper on the top portion of the cabinet when a folder fell from the box. She was going to put it back when she read the words on the folder; Fujioka Kotoko Murder Case.

"Murder? I thought mother died in a car crash?" She asked herself. Driven by curiosity and the need to understand her mother's death, she hastily put the last box in the cabinet and opened the folder. The first thing that caught her eyes was a picture of her mother, almost unrecognizable due to the blood staining her face. A kitchen knife was protruding from her chest and her hands were on the knife's handle, as if she committed suicide. Haruhi's vision began to blur as flickers of bloody pictures entered her mind.

Haruhi.

"Who's there?" she said, looking around. Her head started to throb. She dropped the documents as she clutched her aching head.

Haruhi.

"What's happening to me?" She asked as she felt tears stream down her face. She screamed due to the pain her head was causing her before she lost consciousness.

Mori heard a crash in the kitchen and he rushed towards the room. He saw his cousin, Hunny, looking at a broken plate near his feet. Instinctively, he carried his cousin away from the broken shards and started to clean it up so it would not cut anyone who would accidentally step on it.

"Ne, Takashi?" Hunny said as he put his head on top of Mori's.

"Hn?"

"That plate was the one Haru-chan gave me as a gift last Valentine's day. Takashi, I have a bad feeling about this." The small blonde said. He got off his silent cousin and opened the kitchen television. It was set on the news channel which was reporting on a fire in an apartment complex. Hunny felt the hair on his neck stand when he saw the burning apartment.

"Haruhi." He heard Mori said. He looked at his cousin and wore a worried expression but instantly changed it into a smile.

"She'll be alright. She's smart enough to-"

"The fire started in the apartment which is currently resided by the Fujiokas. The Okama was away while the high school student is currently trapped inside their apartment." The reporter said. Hunny's eyes bulged.

"I heard her scream and when I went to check if everything was okay, I saw their apartment on fire. I immediately called for help but the fire already trapped her inside when the firemen came." The landlady managed to say before she broke into a fit of sobs.

Hunny quickly stood up and dashed, together with Mori, to their garage where their driver was and ordered him to drive them to Kyoya's place. Since the driver saw that they were in a hurry, they reached their destination within 10 minutes. Hunny wasted no time and stormed inside the house, making his way towards Kyoya's room. When he went inside, he saw the host asleep on the bed. He proceeded to wake him up, even if eh knows Kyoya will be in a bad mood once awoken.

"Kyo-chan! Wake up! It's an emergency!" Hunny exclaimed.

The low-blood demon glared at Hunny when he woke up but the blonde boy just stared at him with teary eyes.

"What do you want at such an hour?" He said coldly.

"It's Haru-chan. Their apartment's on fire."

Haruhi slowly opened her eyes and the smell of antiseptics welcomed her nose. She groaned. She slowly sat up and saw that she was in a white hospital room. She felt a short pain on her right arm and saw that it was wrapped in a bandage.

"What happened?" she asked herself as she thought about what happened before she lost consciousness. The visions that she saw before she collapsed came back to her: three blonde men surrounding her mother, the man with the knife grabbing her shoulders, the other two holding her mother down.

Haruhi, my daughter. Watch as I kill your mother before you.

Haruhi was hyperventilating when she felt two pairs of hands hold hers.

"Haruhi?" the twin Hitachiins asked the girl. They were surprised when she turned towards them, her eyes looked scared and were brimming with tears.

"Okaasan." Haruhi said before she clutched her head and pulled her knees towards her face. The twins looked at each other. They had never seen her act this way before. A very worried-looking Ranka rushed into the room and went near his daughter, followed by Kyoya, Tamaki, Mori and Hunny. Ranka pat her back as Kyoya looked at Haruhi's test results.

"It is said here that she is recovering her memories from amnesia 13 years ago. The amnesia was caused by a traumatic experience and something triggered her memory on the day of the fire. She got second-degree burns on her right arm, but no other damages were seen on her body." He put the test results on the bedside table and looked at Haruhi's injured arm.

Hearing other people inside the room, Haruhi brought her head up and looked at the newcomers. She stopped her gaze at Tamaki and Hunny.

"Daughter!" Tamaki exclaimed before he launched himself towards Haruhi to hug her. Petrified, the brunette let out a squeal and hurriedly got off the bed, losing her balance in the process. Kyoya, being the one nearest, caught her and helped her regain her footing. Haruhi clutched at Kyoya's hand and looked at Tamaki with a scared expression, which made the handsome lad look at her worriedly.

"Mother! It seems our daughter inhaled too much smoke! Look! She's scared of me!" Tamaki exclaimed as he cried waterfall tears. Hikaru and Kaoru went near Haruhi and dragged her away from Kyoya, sitting her down on a chair beside the window. Hunny went near Haruhi and took her hand.

"Ne, Haru-chan? Are you alright?" He said as he looked at her with worried eyes. She stared at him with the same look she gave Tamaki earlier. Seeing that he was scaring her, Hunny reluctantly let go of Haruhi's hand and was about to go back to Mori when he felt her grab hold of the side of his shirt. He looked at her and saw that the scared look on her face lessened.

"I'm…fine." She managed to say before he let go of his shirt. Content with her answer, Hunny bounded back to his cousin and got on his shoulders. He flashed a quick smile at Haruhi's direction, who returned it a bit hesitantly. The others were getting confused at her actions.

"Ne, Ranka-san-"

"Why is-"

"Haruhi scared-"

"of Tono-"

"and Hunny-senpai?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked simultaneously. Ranka looked at Haruhi and knew that she had regained some of her memories on that night. He sighed and looked at them.

"When Haruhi was 4, she and her mother often went to the park whenever Haruhi got a low score in her exam. They seldom do that because it was only a few times when Haruhi would get a low score. One day, when I was busy with work, Haruhi came home with a low score on her science exam. She was very upset so even if it was very late, Kotoko brought her to the park. They were about to go back when they met with three blonde men."

Haruhi shuddered as she recalled what her father had said so far.

"One of them held a knife. Kotoko knew that man and was too shocked that she didn't notice him grab Haruhi. The other two held her down as they killed her in front of Haruhi. When we found them, Haruhi was unconscious. The detectives were supposed to ask her questions but the doctors said that she had amnesia. Her brain locked up the memories that were too much for her to bear. We only got two things on the killer."

The room was silent as they waited for Ranka to continue, while Haruhi pieced together the visions she had when she woke up, but something was amiss. She couldn't understand what it was so she just dismissed it. She concentrated on what her father was about to say, and she looked at Tamaki when he said the two things.

"One, the killer was blonde. Two, he called Haruhi his daughter."
