This is my first time writing a fic and I don't know if I can keep this up until the end ;-;
But there are things that I just wanted to say:
I don't own LoveLive and story's mine...
22th of May; Summer Vacation
Outside the house, children can be heard playing and laughing. Some are playing tag, and the others playing racing with bikes. It sounds dangerous to hear them racing with bikes 'cause they are not that yet old enough to handle it.
But there is one of them who is a fully enegertic orange haired girl, named Rin Hoshizora, who always races with the other kids and wins. Talking about racing, she has a 'not blood-related' older sister which is a quarter russian, named Eli Ayase, she has a blonde hair and cerulean orbs, even though they are not related, they still can relate at each other. And her older sister was the one who taught her to be like a runner and she really loves to have that wonderful skill.
Her step-parents, including Eli, were really proud of her, having a child like her is so much enjoyable inside the family. About how she talks of being an atlethic racer in the future, "When I grow up, I will be the world's champion racer!" she bragged to her small audience who claps as she bowed down on her chair like if she was on a stage performing.
"Rin-chan, we will be looking forward to that" her step-mother said happily.
"Haha, note this Rin, we will be watching you at your competetion..." her step-father smiled and added, "...If, you were able to succeed it" then he laughs earning a pinch from her wife.
"Don't mind him, he's just getting old" Mrs. Ayase said while smiling, "and by the looks of why he's teasing you so much, it's 'cause he will miss you~" now it's her step-mother's turn to tease her father.
That being said, they laugh and argue about their father getting old and getting even younger. While they were having a good time, someone entered the scene and is half asleep rubbing her right eye.
"Oh, I think the little one just got out of her slumber" their step-mother said looking at the youngest one of them, "come here now, eat your breakfast."
Seeing Rin's one year younger than her, she leapt off to her chair and gestured her to sit on the chair she just sat on, "Alisa-chan!" she called out and pointed to the chair.
"Thanks, Rin-nee-chan" she warmly smiled at her.
And to that, Rin quickly got off in the dining room to head out and play with her friends. But suddenly stops as she forgot something. She ran back to the dining room and was greeted by smiling faces -except Alisa, who is eating quietly- "I'm going out to play outside!~" she said and headed off.
"I'm so glad that we brought her here" Mrs. Ayase said. "thinking back to the time that she was still homeless, she barely do anything rather to find food" she continued and her face started to softened.
"There, there, I also am glad that you found her" Mr. Ayase comforted her. "right now, she has an experience to have a family like us, and I am thankful for that"
.
Rin's smile never let go off her face as she swiftly walk to her friends waiting at the park.
"Hey Rin! You better be not slow or I'll win this time!" one of her friends shouted to her. Hearing them feels excitement into her body and quickly ran to them.
"You know, you can't just win to Rin like that. I still remembered that you clumsily stumbled at the middle of your race!" her other friend said while laughing and soon joined in with a chuckle.
"Oh, I bet he can!" Rin responded.
"Of course I can! But not right now, I'm not that trained enough to go for it fully!" her boy companion said.
"Do you even need training just to get yourself physically fit?" her other companion replied while holding a giggle, to which she is a girl.
"Well, yeah! Even Rin's training hard you know, with her older sister actually" the boy said.
"Her older sister? You mean, Eli-san?" the girl asked and the boy nodded a reply. "If that's the case, can I too join with your training Rin-chan?" the girl begged.
"E-Eh? I don't train..." Rin said confused.
"Huh? What do you mean you don't?" the boy asked.
"Oooh, what do we have here~ a liar?" the girl smirked. To which the boy whip his head quickly to his friend glaring.
"I am not! I really saw them training!" the boy retorted.
"Oh, is that the time when you sneakly peeked in our backyard?" Rin butted in.
"W-Wha? You noticed that?" the boy asked, embarrassed by his actions.
"Well... Eli-nee-chan told me that there's someone a nearby presence that time and I thought that it was just an animal or something else, but it turned out to be you. That I only knew today" Rin explained.
"Oh my god Ryuu, you're stalking Rin-chan?! Or perharps Eli-san?!" the girl attempt to act like she's shock to her friend.
"Damn you Sora, I never knew that you'll be the one who'll told me that" the boy named Ryuu glared once more at his friend.
"Watch your words Ryuu, or I'll cut off your tongue out!" Sora said.
"Sure, go ahead if you can" Ryuu said calmly. And they started to argue with each other.
On the other side, Rin, who is watching quietly at the two, and doesn't even know what's happening. Before she could butt into their arguement, they heard a girl screaming and it's getting closer. When Rin looked to where the voice belonged her eyes widened 'cause she only had seconds left before she can dodge the flying bicycle.
"Get out of the way!"
She saw a crimson haired girl riding on the bike, panicking 'cause of what will happen to her.
Then all of a sudden...
"Ow!"
"S-Sorry!"
"U-Uh, n-no it's okay"
"O-Okay" the red head said embarrassed. They were inside Rin's house, treating the orange girl. "I-I'm really sorry for putting you into this mess" the red head apologised.
Having heard her apologising four times now, Rin swat her hand and telling that she was okay with it. After all, she was thankful for the girl she saved, there was no bruise nor cut she'd seen in the girl's body.
"T-There, it's all done" the read head said.
"Thanks" Rin warmly smiled at her.
The red head feels ashamed of herself of what she has done. Though before she can speak, the door slammed open revealing Rin's two friends, which cause the red head startled.
"Hey Rin! We brought you some ramen on the way here!" Ryuu exclaimed, while holding a plastic bag with ramens inside it.
"Oooh, thanks a lot Ryuu-kun!" Rin sparkled her eyes, knowing that it is her favorite food. She got up and tried to tackle the latter, though she felt a sting to her knee that causes her fell down. "Ouch..."
Her friends sighed of Rin's behavior and the red head seems to be worried that she might have another bruise because she fell down. This came unnoticed to Sora.
"Hey tomato head, don't worry about her, she just needs to learn her lesson because of her stupidity" she said.
"E-Eh?" the red head flustered, being called by a tomato.
"Hey!" Rin retorted.
"Whoa, I thought I was the only one stupid..." Ryuu smirked at her friend.
"I think you're the most stupid than Rin" Sora said stucking her tongue out.
"What?!"
"Anyways, what's your name?" Sora asked the red head smiling.
"U-Uhh, M-Maki... Nishikino" Maki said embarrassed.
"Maki huh?"
"Y-Yes"
"You look like your going to bully her" Ryuu said.
"Yeah, she looks scared of you Sora-chan" Rin agreed.
"She's not, she's just a shy type" Sora said.
"A shy type?" both Rin and Ryuu turned to Maki at once. The red head flinched feeling stares at her.
"I-I better be going now" Maki said standing up and walking to the door.
But before she can leave, someone pulled her shirt to stop her.
"Since you're here and all, Maki-chan~ why don't you stay a bit and have a snack with us? As a thanks also for treating me" Rin said.
"Tsk! Where the hell did Maki went?" a black haired girl asked irritated, finding the girl she's looking for.
"You're so dead Nico-chan!" someone with ginger haired exclaimed. "If her mother finds out that she's missing, you're totally dead!"
"Shut the hell up Honoka! I'm not just the one who's in charge on watching her you know!" Nico retorted back to her friend. "You should be finding her also idiot!"
"Well, Maki-chan said that she wants to learn how to use a bike" Honoka put one of her index finger on her lips, "so, I taught her to do it but I don't know where'd she gone off to"
"Oh shit Hono-"
"Hey! Watch your mouth Nico-chan!" Honoka cut her off because of Nico's violent word.
"-ka, you're the one who's DEAD here!" Nico continued and suddenly laughs.
"Eh? Why would I be?" Honoka asked confused.
"Why? Because you taught her how to pedal that stupid bike!"
"Huh? Why would the bike be stupid?" Honoka said still confused.
"Urgh, just shut up for a while, okay? We need to fi-" Nico stopped, wide eyes.
"Nico-chan?" Honoka said waiting for her friend to finish but she caught Nico's eyes wide. She turned her gaze to where Nico has been looking.
Then her eyes where shot open as well.
There, they saw a bike. But it's literally destroyed now. They tried to search the red head but none to their eyes were able to see a certain red head.
"I'm gonna tell Mrs. Nishikino" Nico said, still staring the bike in front of them.
"What if Maki-chan's not harmed?" Honoka responded, also staring at the bike.
"I'll owe you one" Nico replied, "and if Maki-chan's harmed?" she asked.
"Same goes for you"
Nico responded back with her middle finger showing to Honoka, but quickly swatted away.
Back to Rin's house;
"I think it's late to ask this but, where are your parents Rin-chan?" Sora asked.
"Oh, they went outside to go shopping for our dinner and to work on some other of their business... I guess?" Rin replied not sure of herself.
"And your sisters?" Ryuu asked.
"They're upstairs" Rin quickly replied back and took a sip to her ramen.
While they are conversing with each other, Maki on the other hand was awfully quiet while eating.
She sighed and looked at the closest window, where she saw her bike - not literally her bike - lying on the ground. She took another sip to her ramen she's eating and looked out again. But she saw a girl with black hair and another one's a brownish hair.
"Nico-chan...?" she muttered to herself.
"Eh? Did you said something Maki-chan?" charteusse eyes glanced over to the crimson haired girl.
"H-Huh! N-Nothi-" she stuttered but unable to finish her sentence when Ryuu yelled.
"Hey! Someone's going to steal tomato-chan's bike!" he caused the auburn girl surprised and embarrassed by the nickname given to her.
Sora chopped her head's friend, "It's 'Maki-chan' you dumb idiot!"
Rin suddenly stood up and walked to the window to where Maki's been looking at. Maki stood up as well worriedly because the orange girl might do something that's not good.
To her prediction was right, Rin was about to shout but Maki slapped Rin's mouth to shut her up.
"S-Sorry... U-Uhh, you don't have to shout at them" Maki said worriedly.
Rin took Maki's hand away from her mouth.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because.. They're just my friends" Maki responded.
"Oh"
"I'm going outside"
"Wait, I'll come with you!"
"Y-You don't have to! B-Besides, they don't even know you" Maki bluntly said.
Rin was quiet for a moment.
"Then I'll get to know them, c'mon!" Rin said pulling Maki.
"W-Wait!"
As they got outside, Nico and Honoka noticed a familiar red head, towing by an orange haired girl, running towards them.
"Maki! And uhh... who's this?" Nico asked when the two girls approached them.
"I'm Rin Hoshizora, Maki's friend!" Rin quickly replied and smiled at them.
"Whoa, that's a bit surprising Maki-chan!" Honoka turn to look at the said girl, but still catching her breath.
"By what do you mean?" Maki questioned.
"You, making friends out of nowhere seems to be weird of you" Nico answered her.
Maki flustered at the statement, "I-I can make friends whenever I want to!"
"Sure, sure, but that's rare for you to do it, little princess. And um, what happened to your face uhh... Rin was it?" Nico said curious.
"To be exact don't call me princess!" Maki yelled but was ignored.
"Oh these? Well, Maki-chan here was riding on a bike and uhh, she somewhat flew to me and crashed, but luckily I saved her to any harm!" Rin explained.
"OH YEAH! You owe me Nico-chan!" Honoka did the punch posing in the air.
"Tsk, whatever..." Nico deadpanned. "So, you saved the little princess in-"
"Like I said, DON'T CALL ME LITTLE PRINCESS!"
"-harm... We would like to thank you for saving her, how can we repay you?" Nico said somewhat softly.
Honoka looked at Nico confused, "Well that's also rare of you, saying things like that in public place, Nico-chan"
"Shut up!"
"Repay? Hmm..." Rin sink into thinking.
"Hey wait, you seriously want to-"
"Then be my friends!" Rin said excitedly.
Maki facepalmed, Honoka and Nico confused.
"What?"
"Like I said, if you ever want to repay me, then just be my friends is all!" Rin smiled at them.
Maki twirled her strands of hair while waiting for her companions to reply. Honoka and Nico however, they don't seem to transfer the words what the citrus haired girl said.
"R-Right... friends, friends!" Nico said.
"Y-Yeah, friends. We're friends now Rin-chan!" Honoka said smiling to the orange haired girl.
"Really?" Rin's eyes sparkled, "Yay! I got to be friends with Maki-chan's!" she ran to the two and tackle them into hug.
"H-Hey! Stop it!" Nico retorted breaking from the hug.
Honoka laughed and hug back.
Maki, on the other hand, was quiet watching the three. Some part of her saying that she also wants to join in but embarrassed to do it. A voice startled her when someone called her name.
"Maki-chan! Come on join us!" Rin giggled in excitement.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Honoka said also inviting Maki to join.
"H-Huh! Why would I want to join you? B-Besides, you're already having fun" Maki stuttered.
Nico sighed, "Just to remind you, Maki. Your week off here is nearing the end, just 3 days left and you'll soon be... you know what I mean"
Hearing Nico's statement made Rin turned her head to the said girl.
"I know..." Maki bowed her head, but quickly heads up. "Okay fine! J-Just one, just one hug!"
Hearing Maki saying those, Rin brushed off on what she was thinking earlier. Both her and Honoka cheered when the latter was walking closely to them.
"You know, little princess, you can be honest sometimes" Nico said smilling.
"And like I said, don't call me princess!" to which she just earned a hug. She was surprised at first but soon faded and her lips was forming into smile.
"Wait... how can you walk like your already fine to yourself?" Maki broke the hug asking the injured girl.
"Uh, that depends... but never mind now 'cause I'm now completely healed!" Rin exclaimed.
"Right..."
Far from them, Eli and Rin's two other friends approached them.
"Oh, what do we have here? New friends Rin?" Eli asked, "And what happened to you?"
"I told you Eli-san, she was accidentally crashed by a flying bike earlier, but to that happening she saved someone" Sora then approached and answered.
Eli hummed on agreeing, "I guess someone's trying to be a hero here huh?" Eli chuckled.
"Well..." Rin scratched her neck.
"Hey, hey, hate to butt into your conversation, but I'd like to ask again for your name, I might misheard you" Nico said pointing her index finger at Eli.
"Me?" Eli said.
"Yes, where do you think my finger's pointing at?" Nico said.
Eli raised one of her eyebrow.
"Just kidding, now if you may?" Nico once again ask.
"It's Eli. Eli Ayase" said girl answered.
"Eli? You're the famous ballet dancer in Russia, right? And the top student in Otonokizaka middle school" Nico stated.
"E-Eh? How did you know that?" Eli somewhat surprised. "And to be corrected, I am not a famous ballet dancer"
"Yeah sure, whatever you call it, but to answer your question" Nico paused for a moment. "You are pretty well known in the school, and I'm sure I know you because... I am the one who guided you to your classroom"
Eli thought for a moment.
"You know Eli-nee-chan, Nico-chan?" Rin asked.
"Of course, we were in the same school, I also remembered that she was lost that time" Nico answered. "And 'Nee-chan'? Funny, I didn't know that she had a sister"
"Oh! Then your Yazawa, right? Nico Yazawa" Eli then realized her.
"You got that right" Nico said.
While they're having conversation on knowing each other. Someone's phone suddenly rang and destroyed their sweetly time talking.
"Who's phone is ringing?" Ryuu asked.
They all looked to each other, then...
"Ah, it's mine" Honoka took out her cellphone then answered it quickly.
Maki sighed, "That's the real Honoka for you"
"You bet" Nico said.
"Well, she kind of looks of it" Sora agreed also.
"Hey guys, I need it's time for us to go home now, especially to our little princess" Honoka said after putting down her phone.
"Would you two stop calling me that! It's really annoying!" Maki said annoyed.
"Aww, when will we see you again?" Rin sadly said to them.
Maki thought for a moment.
"Don't worry! There's always tomorrow, Rin-chan, we'll get to play most of the time tomorrow!" Honoka exclaimed.
"Really?!" Rin said excitedly.
"Now hold on a sec there Honoka" Nico butted in, "You know Maki has only day-" Maki suddenly slapped Nico's mouth.
"It's fine, Nico-chan... I'll manage" Maki said smiling.
Nico glared at her for slapping her mouth, "Don't slap me out of nowhere! It hurts you know!"
Rin laughs at her, "She also slapped me when I was going to shout at you two, though she said that she's just your friends"
"Eh? Maki-chan said that?" Honoka said sparkling her eyes and turned to look at the red head grinning, "Maki-chan cared about us after all Nico-chan!"
Nico just snorted as a reply. To which the red head only twirled her hair blushing.
"Now, now, aren't you guys going home now? Your mothers might be worried if you stay here late" Eli interrupted.
"Oh, right..." Honoka turned suddenly gloomed.
"Don't worry Honoka-chan! Just like you said, we're going to have lots of fun tomorrow!" Rin exclaimed, cheering up the ginger haired girl.
Hearing the orange girl, she smiled and then suddenly clapped their both hands.
"Well then?" Nico faced to them saying goodbye.
They said goodbyes and farewells to each other while smiling. Rin glanced at the crimson haired girl, but to her surprise, the red head was also glancing back at her. Rin saw her lips forming into a bitter smile, and said something but t'was silent.
I can't play with you tomorrow after all...
This is just basically an introduction to where Maki and Rin met, and Rin is an adopted child by the Ayase's... Though I got the feeling that I've been skipping some events there, I don't know? I'm still new to this, but I'll try hard :D
Oh, this is an AU story by the way, there will be some changes in the future and some other OC's but they are not much the center of attention...
