A/N: This Is The Prologue. It's Not Terribly Exciting But It Tells You What Happened. :)

---

It was cold. And wet. As the darkness covered me, all I could hear were my muffled screams. I didn't move an inch in fear I'd shatter. I thought the passing people would help. But that was false hope and the knights in armour walking by turned into demons.

I came to from the warmth of searing hot hands touching my bare skin. It felt like fire. I tried to scream, to thrash them off, but it was in vain.

As the figure raised me towards his face, I discovered he was a young boy, no older than 3, with messy ringlets of damp ash blonde hair. He seemed concerned at my appearance far more than the passer bys.

He turned around in the direction of some nearby light. I could hear his feet crunch against the fresh snow.

As the door opened, lashes of heat reached out to me and I could finally hear my quiet fast panting. But that sound was interrupted as the boy shouted to his mother. The boy wrapped me in his chest before his mother saw me, she still gasped.

"Mother, why was this baby out in the snow?" He asked, almost crying in confusion, as his breath tickled my russet brown strands of hair.

"I don't know, Tam. Set her down on the sofa. I'll fetch her some clothes. Keep hugging her and dry her off please, okay baby?" She commanded with a smile as she rushed upstairs.

After he had set me down, I took in my surroundings. I was lying on a peach sofa in a sitting room, blinded by light, as the boy patted me and a nearby man pottered close by.

"Will the baby die father?" He asked the man after a while of listening in silence to bangs upstairs.

"!" The man was alarmed, "Of course she wont!" He answered, relaxing. "Thanks to you that is." He continued, smiling.

The boy looked down at me and beamed, "Yay! Imouto-san's gonna live!" he cooed as the woman appeared.

(*I know its a weird words but Imouto or Imouto-san is what older brothers call younger sisters.*)

"Okay, okay. She's going to live but first you should dress her Tam. Me and your father have to have a word." She explained, chucking the small pinny clothes over and grabbing the man's arm.

As 'Tam' turned to me, the taller man and woman left the room once more. All we could hear were their hushed mutters, "Wow, Imouto-san. You're really small!" He exclaimed, picking up my small leg and hooking pants to my ankles.

(*he doesn't know any better. Plus he's only young so it doesn't seem embarrassing.*)

I suddenly spat something up, it was white and stinky. "T-t-t." I stuttered, trying to overcome the single syllable word. "T-t-tam. Tam." I spouted as my lips made a vibrating sound.

"What did you just say?" Tam asked in amazement as he stopped pulling my arms into the pinny.

"Tam. Tam. Tam. Tam." I cooed as he grinned wildly. I let out a giggle as he continued buttoning me up.

"We'll keep this a secret from mother and father, Okay?" He asked, tapping my nose as mother and father came in.

"Tam, we..." She paused to look for words, "We're not sure how to tell you this but, we can't keep her." She continued as Tam rearranged me on to his lap.

"Wha-!?" He asked, breath taken. "But she already knows me! Show them Imouto-san!" He continued looking down at me. I rearranged my neck to watch him.

"Tam-s, Tam-sa, Tam-tan!" I squealed playfully, bouncing on his lap.

"See!?" He explained desperately. "We know each other!" He begged, quickly wrapping his arms around me.

I looked over towards mother and father, "mo-mote, mofur!" I giggled, "Fa-fur!" I smiled as I pointed at them.

Mother looked surprised, "Uh." She smiled, almost crying. "So she does...Yuzuru? What should we do?" She asked, laughing.

Tam beamed, "Well I would like to be called Fa-fur for once." He answered, hugging Mother.

"Yay!" Tam cheered as he picked me up. "You're staying with us!

Tam passed the ball to me in defeat, "Aw, you're so much better at Basketto Boru than me!" he complained as he messed his hair in frustration.

I quickly took it, "And you're 2 years older." I smirked, re-jabbing an already open wound.

"Urgh! You mentioned that why?" He whined as we jumped about trying to take the ball from one another and dribbling round the drive.

"Cause it's funny!" I answered, unaware that Tamaki had once again collapsed in front of me.

I looked down when I couldn't see him and sure enough there he was unconscious, "Mother!" I shouted furiously running towards the house, unaware another man with long hair was approaching.

"What's wrong Haruhi?" Mother asked as she quickly stood up, guessing the problem.

"It's Tam, he's fainted again." I explained, quickly turning around and into another man. "Ouch!"

I looked up to see a tall man rubbing his shoulder, "Nice head butt you got there." he commented, smiling warmly.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, I'll help you treat it but I gotta go help my bro, he's.." I explained as I

scooted past him and ran round the house.

"Why of course." The man said as he moved out the way for Mother.

"Mother?" I shouted weakly, "Just give him is medicine, its in your apron's front pocket." I explained as she appeared at the gate.

I stared in confusion as Tam and I sat hand in hand on the sofa. It was this thing we did, but that wasn't important. Mother had just told us some very upsetting news...

"Wait," I started, "You're adopting me?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, sweetie. It's for the best, Tam needs to go abroad to have an operation for his lungs and we don't want to take you away from the country. So I asked my friend Ryoji-san to look after you." Mother explained as she placed a hand on the man.

"I don't wanna." I said stubbornly as I burrowed into Tam's shoulder.

"Haruhi." Father started, entering the room with a cup of ramen. "It's best for you. I don't think you wanna see Tam after the operation." He explained slowly walking over and crouching to my eye level.

"I go everywhere with Tam, Father. We're family and you want me to leave in case I don't like what he looks like?" I asked, tears forming.

"Look," Tam said as he bent his head towards me to whisper, "I'll be better after this operation, I don't wanna leave my imouto either. But I need to go." He brought his right hand into our little conversation,

"I promise I'll meet you at the ouran basketto boru school we looked at in that magazine. We'll meet and have a match. If you win, you wont be my sister any more. You'll be my wife." He smiled as I blushed intensely, "Promise?" He asked as he gave me his pinky.

"Promise." I agreed as I gave him my pinky.
