Err, I don't own the characters. :


Hikari sniffed, then sighed. I guess this is it..

Ring ring ring. A-ah, cellphone, cellphone..

"H-hello?"

"Hikari-chan? Are you almost finished packing?"

"U-uhm.. yeah.. I'm done.."

"That's great! Do you want me to come over and pick you up?"

"Uhm .. actually.. I wanted to walk.."

"Eh? Are you sure? Hurry up then, it'll be dark soon. Do you remember our address?"

"Yup. I'll be there soon. Bye."

Hikari picked up her bag, left her room and headed for the front door. After slipping on her boots, she left the house. She looked back at the house she grew up in, then headed towards her new home.

A few days ago, my mom died in a car accident, an her funeral was held earlier today. Since we don't have any relatives that we know of, I'm going to be living with my mom's closest friend and her husband from her high school days.

I'm kind of excited, it's always been just my mom and I, so it got really lonely sometimes. My mom used to tell me about their family alot, they have a son about my age, but my mom never actually told me his name though..

"A-ah! Uhm.. their house should be around here.." Hikari's eyes searched around the neighborhood.

"Okay.. 462.. 463.. 464!" Hikari stood in front of the gate, eyeing the mansion.

"Wow.. this house looks really expensive.."

Hikari walked up to the front door and rang the door bell.

"SURPRISE!"

"A-ah!" Hikari stumbled backwards , and fell on her bottom.

"Welcome home, Hikari-chan!" Hikari stood up, and brushed the confetti off her skirt.

"Thank you, u-uhm.. Rina-san."

"No need to be so formal! You live here now, so call me auntie, okay? Come in!"

"O-oh.. right." Hikari slipped off her boots entered.

"Do you need help with your bag? I'll call Shinji."

"Shinji?

"Shinji is our son. Shinji! Help Hikari-chan with her stuff!"

Shinji? A Shinji goes to my school.. N-no way! It can't be the same Shinji!

"Yeah.. coming.."

A-ah! It is the same Shinji!

"Oi, stop staring at me. Do you need help or not?"

"Help..?"

Shinji eyes the bag.

"Oh, it's okay.. I can carry it.."

"Whatever." Shinji snatched the bag from her hands and started up the stairs.

"Come on." Hikari blinked, then followed him.
