The Kou household had a total of four children: Kouen the oldest son(20), Koumei the 2nd oldest son(18), Kouha the middle son(10), and Kougyoku the baby sister (8). Out of all the siblings, Kouha and Kougyoku got along well together and were very close. The parents were constantly traveling and only came home occasionally. Although, even with their hectic schedule, the parents would always make an exception/be sure they came home for Christmas to celebrate with the family.

But one day before Christmas Eve, it was getting late, and the parents were nowhere to be found. That night, the Kou children would learn that their parents would not be coming back for Christmas. Kouen was the one to break the news to the siblings. The flight that the parents took crashed and there were no survivors.

The siblings were devastated, but Kouen managed to get the family together. While watching over his siblings, he worked at their parents' company. Earning the respect of the board and employees, he eventually was promoted to be the president of Kou Inc. Once Koumei graduated college, he joined his brother as the vice president of Kou Inc.

"I'm so glad, Kouen let me move out. It was difficult to convince them, 'Baba! Kouen told me that I had to get everyone's approval in order to move out. He and Koumei were fine with me moving out, but Kouha the most upset with the idea of me moving out. He only agreed after I started crying and locked myself in my room for a couple of days. He only made one condition: that I would allow him to come visit whenever he wanted to," exclaimed Kougyoku.

She could hear Alibaba chuckling through her phone's speaker, "Well, you are their baby sister! Morg and I couldn't even hang out with you for a while without Kouha accompanying us, remember?"

Groaning Kougyoku replied, "Alibaba, I don't even want to remember that! I don't know why they can be so protective! I can't baby me forever." She pauses for a moment before continuing, "Only sometimes." Pulling into her designated parking spot, Kougyoku turned off the car and started sighing and pouting.

Laughing harder, "Okay, okay, whatever you say. Sorry that I couldn't come and help you move in today, but I'll be there this weekend to help and see you before school starts!" said Alibaba.

Grabbing one of the tote bags and locking the car, Kougyoku responded, "Thanks, 'Baba. My brothers are being lazy, but they at least did move some of the furniture into the apartment already. Anyways, I just parked, and I should bring all my boxes up before it gets too hot, so I'll talk to you later. It's supposed to be a nice place, near the riverfront overseeing the entire city, since they didn't want me on the "sketchy" side of town. I'm so excited to have my own place away from my brothers."

"Well, I'm off to go work, but let me know how moving in goes!"

In the background, Morgiana talks loudly from across the room, "Hey, I wanted to talk to her too. Stop hogging the phone!" complained Morgiana.

Alibaba turns to Morgiana telling her, "She needs to bring her stuff into her apartment before it gets hot. She'll call you after." Alibaba speaks into the phone's microphone "Mor also says hi! Call her after you're done moving all your stuff!"

"Talk to you soon, Mor! I'll call you after I bring up all my boxes. Have a good day at work, 'Baba!" said Kougyoku hanging up the phone.

Muttering and sighing to herself, "I'm glad I have them as best friends, but sometimes I'm jealous of their relationship. One day, I'll have a relationship like them! What am I doing!? Time to stop zoning out and move all these boxes into the apartment before the heat kicks in."

Tying up her hair and walking into the apartment complex, she notices how nice the complex is. Whispering softly to herself, "Thank you for the place, Kouen."

Back to Morgiana and Alibaba ~~~

Grabbing his bagged lunch before heading out to work, Alibaba notices Kougyoku's address on the whiteboard on the fridge. "Hey, Mor!" Alibaba called out.

Morgiana sits up from the couch. "What? Aren't you going to be late if you don't get going now?"

"I just realized she's living next to him..."

"Him? Who?" she asks.

"Judal." he says with a grin on his face.
