No flames please!!! :)

~ Prologue ~
~ Tsubasa ~

Tamaki stood in front of his mansion, waiting for the limo to pull up. He regretted the circumstances in which she was being brought here, being as they were incredibly sad and unfortunate, but he was very happy and excited and quite eager to see his beloved cousin. He hadn't seen her since his thirteenth birthday, and that was several years ago! He was a second year in high school now, and she was a first year.

Tamaki Suoh and Tsubasa Suoh were cousins, and ever since they were little they had been very close and the best of friends. She was only four months younger than him, but at the date her birthday fell on it made her a school grade below him—even though technically she should be in the same year as him. Even when Tamaki was young, he had been the slightly eccentric princely character he was now. In fact, he had even taught her how to use the same character, and she learned all her manners and such from him. He had wondered if maybe she'd become a female host with a princess-like angelic type personality someday—she'd be good at it, that's for sure—and for the way she acted she had earned the nickname "Tenshi-chan" from Tamaki. Only he called her that though. Only he was allowed.

Finally, much to Tamaki's obvious delight, he saw the limo that belonged to his family. The one that had been sent to pick Tsubasa up from the airport. It slowly pulled up, and after a few seconds, the driver got out to go open the door of the limousine for her. But, much to Tamaki's amusement, she opened it before the driver could. The door actually slammed into the poor man, knocking him down. He couldn't see her though. All he could see of his cousin was a slender leg in light wash skinny boot-cut jeans and black sneakers, and an arm that was concealed by a baggy dark indigo jacket.

"Gomennasai." A soft, but quite strong female voice said from the car. It sounded pretty grown up, actually.

With wide eyes, Tamaki took a step forward. "Tsubasa-chan?"

A girl stepped out of the limo, and Tamaki gasped. His "little cousin" had grown up a lot since his thirteenth birthday party. She was very pretty girl.

Tsubasa Suoh had blond hair (although while it was fairly close to the same shade of Tamaki's, it had a strawberry tint to it) that was naturally straight and went to just below her chest. Right now, she was wearing it in simple pigtails that made her look younger. Tsubasa's bangs partially covered her piercing violet eyes, which were more purple than Tamaki's but everyone said they were a lot alike. She was very thin, and had a small chest. Her height was hard to tell, but the top of her head went about to Tamaki's neck. Tsubasa had an oval shaped face that was flawless, and very cute, and she had thin light pink pale lips. Tamaki always said she looked like an angel—that's another way she got the nickname Tenshi-chan—but now… she had a slightly rebellious look about her.

Tsubasa wore slender light wash skinny jeans, black Vans sneakers, and a baggy dark blue fleece hoodie that went down to about four inches above her knees. Under that, she wore a black tank top. Tamaki could see she had her upper right ear pierced, and that she had three piercings on the lobes of each of her ears. Two of each said piercing was a simple silver or purple-painted tiny hoop, but on one was a red 3-D heart, and the other a 3-D skull. Her eyes had bags under them, and looked a little red from crying. She had some light blue eyeliner on her upper lids. Tamaki smiled. Aside from the creepy skull earring (which reminded him of something that Nekozawa-senpai might find interesting), Tsubasa was a beautiful young woman now.

"Tsubasa-chan." He smiled, and then chuckled. "Tenshi-chan, it's so good to see you again after so long!"

Tsubasa stiffened, knowing the look in his eyes quite well.

Five… four… three… two… one…

Tamaki glomped her to the ground, all teary eyed and crying about how much he missed her and asking her if she was okay.

"Typical Tamaki." She giggled, yet her voice was full of sadness. She hugged him back, and he heard a slight sob come from her.

Tsubasa had known that as soon as she hugged Tamaki, she was okay. All this time, she had wondered how she would survive what happened to her in the emotional way. But now that she was with her immature, eccentric, childish cousin… she knew it was okay. Everything would be find now. Everything would work out.

"Tenshi-chan," Tamaki said, using his princely character, "Don't cry."

Tsubasa hadn't even realized she was crying. It was the first time she had cried since she found out what happened. She hadn't even cried then. But now she could cry.

Tamaki held his cousin tighter as he brought her inside and took her to the third living room where the piano was. He didn't really know how to stop Tsubasa from crying, because his cousin was an odd girl, so he decided to maybe do one of the things he had done for Haruhi during a thunder storm and they had been the only ones in the Host Club room… He sat her on the couch, and walked to the piano. He began to play Tsubasa's favorite songs.

Tsubasa stopped crying, a smile playing on her face. How could she cry when Tamaki was trying so hard to comfort her? 'He may be an immature, obnoxious, slow, loud, childish, slightly self-absorbed and slightly perverted moron most of the time,' she thought with a slight chuckle, 'but he's a sweet person. He knows how to make people smile… and how to annoy the freaking hell out of them.'

[Flashback]

Tsubasa walked into her mansion. She walked upstairs to the family room, where everyday after school her mother and father would be waiting for her. She sometimes got annoyed with it, but she knew that there was no point in trying to avoid it.

She noted the absence of servants and other workers, but immediately remembered it was Friday and that they all got the day off today. Another Suoh family tradition. She opened the door to the family room, and dropped her bag at what she saw.

The next thing she knew, she was screaming for help and crying, but then something knocked her out…

[End Flashback]

Tsubasa shook off the memory. It had only been two weeks ago, but it felt like an eternity. She watched Tamaki play, and found herself walking over to sit next to him.

This is a chance to start over, she realized as she closed her eyes and began singing along with the music, just like she did when Tamaki played when she was little. 'This is a fresh start. A new beginning…

A place to just heal and be alive.'
