The funeral was held some weeks later sometime during the early days of winter. In a small town known as Resempool, a small group of people gathered around in a graveyard, standing as a coffin was laid in a hole.

Tamaki has never favored rainy days. They were dull and nothing sprung life. When it rains, it was like all the color around him drained and they were lifeless. Tamaki has never favored the rain because the rain always associated itself with sadness and misery. It reflected his own pain as he watched his mother's body laid down in the ground where it will remain forever.

It was hard coming to the funeral. When his father told him that they will be going to the funeral, Tamaki was hesitant to go. He didn't want his encounter with his mother involving her body bruried deep beneath the ground. It just reminded him that he was never going to see her again.

Tamaki looks at his father whom was standing next to him, holding a black umbrella over their heads. Mr. Suoh has not said a single word all day.

It wasn't hard to tell why. He was trying to deal with the loss of his beloved wife who he has always loved dispite her background.

Trisha Elric was born in small village while Mr. Suoh was born in a rich family. To many - mostly in Mr. Suoh's world - the rich and the poor don't mix and if a romance occurred between the two, it was considered taboo. How were two people with two different backgrounds suppose to live a life together? Especially when creating a family?

It was unnatural and rarely did you ever find a couple like Tamakis mother and father.

Mr. Suoh, since the first day met Trisha, has always loved her. She was different from the other women his mother tried to marry him off to. Trisha had a sense of wonder and such a warm nature in her, it was no wonder why he decided to propose to her and marry her in secret where they ended up having three sons.

Yes. As it turns out, Mr. Suoh and Trisha Elric had two sons named Edward and Alphonse Elric. Edward is fourteen years old while Alphonse was thirteen years old. Both of the boys lived with their mother with no knowledge of their father and their older brother Tamaki.

Mr. Suoh's mother, the headmaster of the Suoh family, forbid Trisha from ever seeing Mr. Suoh and Tamaki after she found out the birth of Edward. Since then, Tamaki, Edward and Alphonse have never found out about each others existence until Trisha died.

Tamaki was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that he had younger brothers. He had totally forgotten about this since the last time he has ever encountered either of them was when he was four years old.

Tamaki had many questions about Edward and Alphonse. Did they know about him? Are they nice?Are they going to get along? Would his grandmother forbid him to see them? Would they even like him?

What did they look like anyways? Tamaki thought he saw his brothers in the funeral but he hasn't spotted them yet.

It must be because his father and he were up in the hill watching the funeral from afar.

After they buried the coffin with Trisha in it and everyone said their final farewells, Tamaki and his father walked to the grave.

Tamaki has always pictured what his encounter with his mother will turn out when he was allowed to see her again. He always pictured her in the living room, waiting for him and when he arrives and she sees him, his mother would have a smile so huge it would light up the room instantly. Tamaki would run into her arms and they would embrace one another.

It would be a tearful reunion.

Unfortunately, that would never happen and now Tamaki was looking at a coffin where his mother's body was, a painful reminder that he would never truly see his mother again.

Tamaki jumps in suprise when he felt his father's hand on his shoulder. Tamaki looks at him. "I know this is tough for you Tamaki." Mr. Suoh says. "But your mother was a wonderful women. Its just horrible that she had to die this way."

Tamaki looks at the coffin. "I wish we were there with her. It's unfair you know?"

Mr. Suoh agreeably nods. "Yes it is. But we have to remember the impact your mother left behind rather then her death. She wouldn't want us to be sad forever correct?"

Tamaki nods.

Mr. Suoh sighs outloud. "I'm really going miss her."

"Me too."

After they left the graveyard a hour and a half later, Tamaki and his father went inside their car and drove off to a unknown destination.

Main while during the drive, Tamaki feels his phone buzz. Tamaki takes it out and sees the notification. It was a message from Haruhi.

After he told the host club of his mothers passing, the host club have given their condolences to Tamaki and his father. Since Tamaki had to leave to attend his mothers funeral, the host club took it upon themselves to take care of the upcoming ball. All day the host club have been sending him messages. Most of them asked if he was okay while some of messages talked about the production of the ball.

Tamaki opens Haruhis text and reads it. Everythings going to be okay senpai. If you need anyone to talk to, just call me up okay? :)

Tamaki smiles, brightened up by Haruhis message. 'She's so cute when she cares!' Tamaki thinks to himself.

Mr. Suoh clears his throat. Tamaki looks up at him. He quickly puts his phone away knowing his father is going to speak to him. "As you already know Tamaki, we will be having your brothers live with us for now on so it's important that you three get along alright?" Mr. Suoh tells him.

"Don't worry father. I'll make sure we get along with each other. No worries okay?"

Mr. Suoh leans over to him and rests his hand over Tamakis. "I know this is sudden for you Tamaki and I understand your still trying to absorb the fact that you have brothers but if you have any questions come to me and I will try my best to help you."

Mr. Suoh reassuringly smiles at his son which Tamaki nods and thanks.

"Mr. Suoh sir, we have arrived." The driver announces. Mr. Suoh nods and thanks the driver.

The car parks and Tamaki takes a look outside from where he was sitting. They were parked in front of a house. It was nice looking and very homey. It was up in a hill so there was a trees around it and fresh green grass.

Looking at it, Tamaki couldn't help but feel a string of retaliation just looking at the house.

Tamaki looks at his father and asks him "What is this place? Is this where my brothers are?"

Mr. Suoh nods. "After your mother died, a friend of your mother's invited them to stay with her and her granddaughter until I picked the boys up." He explains to him.

"Her name is Pinako and she's a really sweet women. Although she has a bit of a tongue so don't mess with her okay?"

Tamaki was beginning to worry. 'What kind of friend does mom have?'

They exited out the car and they walked to the front door. Mr. Suoh knocks on the door and the both of them wait for someone to answer the door. After a minute of waiting, the door opened.

The person who answered the door was a teen girl, around Tamakis age. She had long blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail, blue clear eyes, two sets of earrings on both of her ears and was cute. She was surprised see two unrecognizable people standing on her doorstep. Her appearance struck a familiar cord in Tamaki.

"Hello, may I help you?" She asks.

Mr. Suoh smiles. "Winry, its been so long. My, have you grown so beautiful." He says.

Winry blinks in surprise when Mr. Suoh says her name. "Uh, do I know you?"

Before Mr. Suoh could answer, Pinako arrives. Pinako was a old women and the shortest person Tamaki has seen. She had great hair pulled back tightly in a bun. She had glasses on and she wore a black dress similar to what Winry was wearing.

Pinako smiles in greeting when she sees Mr. Suoh. "Ah, Fuzuru. I'm glad you made it." She says. Noticing Tamaki, she says, "I see Tamaki has grown up into a handsome young man."

Mr. Suoh smiles. "Hello Pinako. Its so great to see you again. Tamaki, you may not remember Pinako but she used to babysit you and Ed whenever your mother was out at town." Mr. Suoh explains to Tamaki.

"Really?"

"Of course you wouldn't remember me." Pinako says. Tamaki looks down at her. "You were only four when I last saw you. Many years have passed since then and I still remember how much of a brat you were."

Tamaki gawks at Pinako while his father and Winry laugh. "I-I wasn't a brat! I was a good boy when I was young!" Tamaki yells at her, angry that she had called him a brat.

Pinako laughs. "You're just like Ed you know. The both of you get mad at the most simplest things."

"Speaking of Ed, where are the boys?" Mr. Suoh asks changing the subject.

"They're in the quest room getting their things ready. Well, I would say All is. Ed is sulking around refusing to pack." Pinako shakes her head and mumbles something under her breath. "Would you two like to come in and wait for them in the living room?" She asks them. Tamaki and Mr. Suoh nod and they walk inside the house.

Pinako closes the door behind them and before they could walk to the living room, Tamaki is attacked by a black and white dog. With a startled yelp, Tamaki is tackled down and was licked by the family dog, Den.

"Den!" Winry shouted. "Get off him girl come on!" Winry runs to Den and pulls her away from Tamaki.

"I'm so sorry for Dens behavior. She usually doesn't tackle people." Winry apologies with a chuckle.

Tamaki chuckles. "No its fine. Besides, this isn't the first time that I was tackled by a dog before."

Pinako chuckles and tells them, "I'm going to see if Edward and Alphonse are ready. Fuzuru, Tamaki, go and wait in the living room for a minute please and Winry, fetch them some tea okay?"

Winry nods. "Sure. Come on Den." Den barks and follows Winry to the kitchen.

With the Rockwells gone, Mr. Suoh and Tamaki walk inside the living room, waiting for Pinako or Winry to come back.

They sat on both ends of the living room and they sat in silence waiting.

While they sat there, Tamaki looks around the living room. Not much was there and it looked like any other commoner house. It felt like home and the more Tamaki sat there in the living room, the more he remembered a four year old him playing on my the floor with another blonde haired boy and girl who he presumed was his brother and Winry.

Tamaki scanned the room until his eyes laid on a broad filled with pictures. There were a lot of pictures but clearly there were a few that showed Tamaki from when he was younger. There was some of Winry as well when she was younger and of his mother as well.

But what caught his attention the most was the picture of two boys with blonde hair and golden eyes. They were smiling at the camera and both of them were striking different poses. One of them held up a peace sign while other had his arms crossed to his chest.

They looked so happy in the picture.

And who was in the picture? Ed and Al.
