Prologue - Backstory

{*-14 years ago-*}

It was a dark and cloudy night. Wind whipping everything in it's path rocking back and forth, side to side. Signs of the incoming rainstorm. People passing by each other quickly to find shelter from the sprinkling rain.

One such figure, a lone adult female carrying a bag with ingredients in one hand while the other holds an umbrella that her husband had made sure to give her.
She was trying to hurry home, so that she would have enough time to prepare or at least TRY to prepare the ingredients for her husband as they both knew he was the cook and she was barely able to make kind of edible things, every now and then at least.

While rushing carefully through the rain, she caught a flash of pretty pink? Peach? hair and barely heard a small whimper coming from the alleyway where the glimpse of hair was. Stopping in her tracks, she turned to the alleyway, and without missing so much as a beat, she walked straight to the end where she could make out a small very small bunched up figure inside of a wet makeshift cardboard box.
Gasping, she immediately ran straight for the figure and kneeled, causing the figure tmtjat was laying bunched up to look up weakly before their head fell down.

Holding the umbrella and grocery bag in one hand, she reached the other out to the figure that only closed it's eyes as if in pain, and touched their forehead, only to gasp and immediately snatch out her phone from her pockets.

She had called her husband, who had in turn called in a favor and a car was soon shining it's lights into the alley from the entryway. The light let the female see the figure, little kid, maybe 4 or 5 years of age, that was in seemingly a lot of pain from the whimpers and pants coming from them. She kept a grip on her items before carefully and slowly reaching her other arm to towards the kid to lift them up to where they were leaning against her shoulder.

Feeling warmth, the kid seemed to snuggle up close to the female who had proceeded to walk to the car and get in as they made their way to the hospital. The kid that had felt a sense if safety wash over them as they were held by the lady passed out.

By the time the kid was awake again, he was able to find out the ladies name and tell her his. The lady, Tamako Yukihira looked a bit surprised but then smiled and reassured the kid, Aura, that he'll be ok, and now that she's here, he would keep him safe along with her husband, Joichiro Yukihira or Saiba Joichiro, who had come in a bit after he woke up from passing out.

{*-still the past, just a year or 2 later-*}

It had been difficult for Aura to get used the Yukihira's. At first, he was scared, but curiosity and instinct took over and he eventually opened up to the sweet if not a bit....eccentric pair. And he'll tell you, it wasn't a bad move to put his trust in them. After all, he's now a part of their little family, that'll soon grow once more.

You heard right, Tamako is pregnant. To be specific, she'll be 8 months, 3 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours, 10 minutes, and 5 seconds, come the next day, so in short she'll be a week or 2 away from 9 months.

It is currently October 1st. The season of Halloween, which for Aura, was the best season, hands down, though he will argue that Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are close as well.

Tamako has already gotten into the Halloween spirit as she has carved out pumpkins, very horribly I might add with Aura and laid them out to be apart of the decorations. Joichiro has been cooking a feast since morning as he and Tamako made it a tradition for everyone to come by and eat their fill due to Aura insisting that if they could, feed the hungry and never let anyone they see or know starve. They know where the young kid is coming from, as well as not having anything wrong with it, and they are capable of it, so they went along with it. Aura also insisted that he bake pastries, and sweets, as he wanted to help as well.
