Flash to the past.
"Mommy?" The small girl with platinum blonde hair asked. Her hand tugged on her mother's kimono as they walked up the stairs of their elaborate mansion, maids greeting them along the way the up as they continued to stroll up to the second floor. She was short, stubby, and just as cute as any other four-year old was. Big eyes. Tiny hands. Completely capturing in photo albums.
"What is it, Nyoko-Chan?" The woman's eyes wandered to her lower leg, where Nyoko was trying to keep up. Dark hair, deep green eyes that one would fall in love with at first glance. Kyoto Kyrie Hayashi, lover of Shino Sai Morisato. Neither were married to one another, or to anyone else for that matter. Of course they planned to, but with all their business meetings and such in the way, they couldn't possibly have enough time for a wedding… But what they did have time for was their children. Nyoko Aeri Morisato, and her 2 years younger brother, Daisuke Akihito Morisato. The young one, being Dai, was held in his mother's arms as they went up step by step.
"Why do you meet that man in the afternoon…? I forgot his name, but he's in the military… Right?" Her big blue eyes stared up at her mother's and Kyoko looked away. A little icily, but Nyoko didn't care. After all, she was her mother and she'd still love her… I mean, that's what mothers would normally do, correct?
So her mother made up a simple excuse, "We meet in the afternoon to discuss our business like most mommies and daddies do." That was all. Or was it? Owari Shima, Shino's must trusted maid overheard this and went off to continue her duty as the head of the maids, making sure everyone was doing their jobs. However, it was her own job to tell the head of the house any secrets that have been being kept between the mistress and anyone else. In this case it was Nyoko's father who was the head of the masion.
The rest of the day went smoothly until the next. Father was home from his trip to England and returned in the same style he did every time. A cowlick in the back of his head from sleeping in their black Maybach 62. Suit ruffled. Sleeping on his suitcase. However, he asked the butler not to wake him, for his children would as the ran up to him and smother him in hugs. He loved waking up to such wonderful and beautiful things. If Daisuke or Nyoko were sleeping, Kyoko would met him, and he was just as glad doing so.
This time, it was like a lot, well for the start anyways. Nyoko would trip over Daisuke, they both fell, and they both got up and kept running. "DADDY!" They had both squealed. The blonde was ending up first, but before she really could do anything, the butler swung open the car door to let them in and hit the girl in the face, causing her to fall hard against the pavement. She didn't remember what happened after that. Unconsciously, she heard sirens and such and shouting, but nothing else afterwards…
