"What!" she screamed while blushing ten shades of crimson.
"I'm sorry Sakuno, but since Kaa-san doesn't have enough room, and friends wouldn't be able to afford it, you have to move in with the Echizens." Keigi Ryuzaki exclaimed while threading his fingers through his hair.
"B-but Tou-san! You're going to America for a year! Why do I have to live with-" she was cut off when her father spoke up.
"Because, we're old friends with the Echizens and they offered to take you in. Plus they have the extra room and they consider us family." he explained again "And I don't want to hear anything else about it." Keigi said after standing up.
"Alright." Sakuno whispered while slightly blushing.
"Good, I'll be leaving tomorrow; so you'll be taking your bags to their house before school. And you'll be going back with Ryoma after school." he explained before walking out of the room.
"Hai Tou-san." she said quietly "But what am I supposed to do about my competitions?" she asked while following him out of the room.
"You either lie to them that you're a world famous figure skater, or you tell them so they'll know where you are when you go to competitions and practice." He told his daughter before heading off to bed.
"Hai." She said again. 'This is so embarrassing! I can't believe I have to live with the Echizens. Mou, I hate this.' She thought while trudging up the stairs to pack her things.
'So, Ryuzaki is moving in? This is going to be really interesting.' Ryoma thought with a devilish smirk on his face.
"Hey Brat! Dinner's ready!" Nanjiroh Echizen called from the staircase.
"Hai!" he called back and walked lazily down the stairs. 'Let's see how she'll react when she gets her present tomorrow.' he thought with a mischievous smirk.
