Chapter one

Aaron Powell awoke with a start as his alarm went off rather loudly. Grudgingly, not wanting to leave the warmth of his covers(as he knew the rest of the room was well below freezing, in the 20's to be exact.), he swung out and off his bed.

"Holy shit is it cold!" he half shouted as his mind caught on the fact that it was, indeed, cold. Aaron is a 6'4 male with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a brace on his left hand due to problems with the bones in it, tomorrow he had to go in for a CT scan. He also has a chain-ball necklace that he never removes. Swearing, he got dressed as fast as possible so he could leave the fridge like room.

Once dressed he left his room to go for food and then to help with the ward work. As soon as he finished breakfast he went outside to wait for his parents return trip from IHop. To save time I wont go into the rest of the day until he is done with his work.

Finally at around 3:00, they were done then his mother stared a topic he would rather avoid until tonight.

"You know Aaron, they get here at 5:00 tonight, so why don't you go clean up the kitchen?" his mother asked.

"Sure, just as long as you call me when you pick them up." Aaron replied as he made his way to the door. By they, they meant 2 foreign exchange students from Japan. He really didn't have a problem with that. In fact, he was the one who proposed the idea. His mom and step-father agreed only because he had an almost obsession like interest with the culture.

The students would be staying with them, as most foreign exchange students would. There would be one guy and one girl. His parents didn't have any names yet, but they were about the same age as him and his sister. Just then a white Dodge Durango pulled into the driveway.

"Well speak of the devil." thought Aaron as his sister got out. She was 5'6 with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was as good a sister as any brother could hope for… but perfection had impurities in this case. She had a nasty temper at times. But right now, Aaron had no interest with his older sister. He just wanted to clean the kitchen so he wouldn't leave the wrong impression. He trudged inside and started working on the kitchen.

Around 5:00 his mom called the house. Aaron answered the phone.

"What?" Aaron asked knowing full well that it was his mother.

"We have them, but there is one problem." his mom, Betty, said.

"Oh god. What's the problem?" he asked fearing something bad happened.

"They went to the same school, but they aren't related." she said with a hint of annoyance. But on the other end, Aaron's mind was stalled. However, he quickly recovered.

"Well, to quote a character from a show. don't worry, not a problem." Aaron said as he fought to keep from laughing.

"Funny, this guy said that too. Huh, oh well. See you at the house!" she told him. Once again Aaron's mind stalled for a moment. Then the line went dead. Aaron reluctantly set the phone on its cradle. Putting certain thoughts to the back of his head, he left to tell his sister of their guests.

25 minutes later, their parents pulled into the driveway. The moment of truth was finally at hand. Aaron had even got an extra mattress and set it on the floor for his guest. Just as his sister, Rebecca, did for hers. When they all got into the house Rebecca and Aaron were watching the TV. When they got upstairs, their mother finally introduced the guests.

"Rebecca, Aaron, I would like you to meet Souske Sagura and Kaname Chidori. Souske, Kaname, this is my son and daughter, Aaron and Rebecca." stated ther mother.
