I wasn't really planning on writing a new SunaMaru story as I already deemed this pair quite impossible however my conscience agrees me not it seems. Days after publishing my first SunaMaru story, that was "almost a year ago" I know, I kept dreaming about this pair so here I am giving them another try. Though I would have uploaded this "almost a year ago" had I not forgotten my external hard drive when I went for a month long vacation before in my Grandparents country home. But luckily I found my "Magic notebook" (refer to my second story) so I decided to rewrite it again though there were some amendments here and there and of course there will be future amendments and additions too. So for starter here you go.

Past Present Future

What's past is past. We cannot turn back to the past and rectify what we have done even if we made mistakes, all we can do is just learn from it, from the experience and use it in the future. However for Sunako if the past is her only chance to have the future she wanted she would defy the law of time and return.

Prologue

It was a fine day, a kind where you would want to spend it on a picnic near the lake with the person you love or perhaps take a trip to the beach with your car but alas, Sunako has neither of those so here she is wasting her time in the kitchen. They had all agreed that no one is to set foot ANYMORE in the kitchen aside from her ever since her other 4 housemates almost burnt the house (not like they had not done so in the past but she has had enough) for trying to boil water and fry some eggs which resulted to a week of take away meals while the kitchen is being renovated. Though a break once in a while from the demanding gluttons was nice she thought to herself.

It was now two weeks after the incident and days after their graduation, everyone even her Auntie (who acts like a teenager some of the time she noted to herself) is settled back in the Nakahara mansion all sitting on the couch sipping tea and eating the delicious cake she had (but not voluntarily) baked. The four gorgeous men that she had spend 4 years living with are now wiping out the cake on their plates without any finesse like they had always been towards food. Noi and Tamao on the other hand are the exact opposite of the four, eating silently while savouring the taste with every bite.

"Sunako chan, you really are the best my darling niece!" Her Auntie commented leaping from the table in the centre to sit beside her and gave her a bone crushing hug.

"Auntie" Sunako could only utter. She is use to her now ever since she decided to conquer her fear and face the light (yes that is right she FACED the light with the help/demand of her friends) her Auntie just can't seem to stop hugging her though at first she was still hesitant with the human contacts but after a while she grew accustomed to it, but the shopping! The shopping is entirely different story. She can't help but groan every time she thinks of the shopping experiences she had with the 3 ladies. In fact whenever they ask her to come, she would sometimes feigned ill just so she could escape the torture, being dragged everywhere and be played a dress up doll. That is something she will never get used to, she can't seem to find the sense of going shop after shop just to find clothes they would never even wear more than twice.

"Auntie is right Sunako chan, your cooking really is the best!" Yuki seconded the compliment after engorging a spoonful of cake.

Not that they had not complimented her before but hearing it all the time swells her heart with pride and joy as cooking is one thing she really did enjoy.

"Nakahara Sunako! One more!" Kyouhei shouted in between chewing and drinking tea which Sunako just rolled her eyes with.

"Okay okay." Freeing herself from the clutches of her Auntie she stood up and took another slice of cake giving it to Kyouhei. "Slow down will you? You might choke yourself to death if you continue that way." She added.

"Why don't you open a shop?" Noi suggested, every one stopped eating and turned their eyes to her. Even Sunako who is undoubtedly surprise by Noi's comment froze and looked at her. "What? Don't you think it's right and fitting?"

And that is how it all started.
