"Eh! Yuuta! Yuuta, why are you crying?!"

"I wanna go home!"

Curious blue eyes turned to look out her window, someone was moving into the house next to hers, and they were being awfully loud at six in the evening.

She opened the window and leaned out, staring at the duo, she noted that they looked to be around her age. She smiled at the thought that, perhaps, she might obtain friends in this move. One of them had short chopped brown hair, and the other one, who was just a few inches taller than the other, had shoulder length brown hair.

"Saaa~ Yuuta, we are home, its new, but in time, you'll like this place too."

She could hear them better with the window open.

"...but..." the but sniffled as his brother gently pat him on his head as he leaned forward to look him in the eyes. "But what about school, and friends..."

"We will go to a new school, and we will make new friends."

"Making friends isn't easy!"

The girl smiled, turning from the window, her long black hair vanished from the open window as she ran from her window and down the stairs. "Mom!"

"Hai, hai~" A woman turned from the oven where she'd just placed a tray of freshly baked cookies on top of it.

"Can I have a plate of cookies?"

"Wha-but...they need to cool off, I just pulled them-"

"They'll be cool once I get outside, come on, come on!"

"Kagome...why can't you be like this in the mornings." The woman asked as she pulled a paper plate from the pantry and piled two cookies on it. "No more till after dinner."

Kagome rolled her eyes, "I want to share them! Our new neighbors are moving in, and they have two kids around my age!"

The woman looked surprised, but smiled and placed four more on the plate, "You can still only have two...this way its equal...no figh-"

She didn't wait to hear her mother's words, she knew them by heart. No fighting, be nice, never yell, always smile...sharing is caring...pain is just a butterfly, let it fly away...never instigate a fight. Honestly, she was thinking of making a book with all of them, though, her mother seemed to think up a new one every day, and while it was fun listening to them...she preferred to do so when not in a hurry.

"Ah..." Kagome stopped walking as she saw the two of them, now she was nervous. Honestly, what was she going to do? Just walk up and say, 'hey, here's a cookie...wanna be my friend?' Kagome sighed, but slowly she walked over to the two boys, "You two are moving...in next door, right?" She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves,

Both boys turned, and the one crying quickly brushed away his tears as his face turned beet red.

Kagome laughed a little.

"Yes, we are, today is our first day here, are you our neighbor?"

"Mm...yeah!" She held out the plate of cookies and smiled, "Want one? Mom just pulled them out a little bit ago, so be careful!"

"Eh?! A-are you sure?"

Kagome turned to the youngest of the two and laughed, "Yeah, of course. Starting today, you, me and your brother, we're going to be friends!"

And just like that, a cookie sealed the deal as they each took one from the plate.

Rai Higurashi, Kagome's mother, stood with a smile on her lips as she watched her daughter interact with the two boys, she watched them play as the movers and their mom, dad and older sister, moved the boxes into the house. Her daughter had been somewhat antisocial with the girls in their neighborhood, that seeing her make friends with anyone, even if it was two boys. She knew her daughter missed her father, and since his death over a year ago, she hadn't been as talkative or active. "Maybe..." Rai smiled, "...this will be good for her. Just maybe..."

Kagome laughed at the pout on the younger boys face, "Ah...I almost forgot, my name..."

The two boys turned.

"My name is Kagome,"

"Saa~ I'm Shuusuke, and this is my younger brother-"

"Yuuta! My name is Yuuta!"

"Hehe, its nice meeting you both!"

Just Maybe...
