"Takeshi! Kira! You have guests!"

The large bodyguard called his charges' attention as he knocked on the door and then entered. Both brother and sister instantly stopped and looked up. "Domovoi, we just moved here and now we have guests up in our arse?" Takeshi complained and stood up. The middle aged man chuckled. "Watch your language, lad. The guests won't exactly appreciate a bloke of your class to have such vocabulary", he joked. On the other hand, Kira just smirked and continued to write on a piece of paper. Domovoi just shook his head and sat down near the edge of Takeshi's bed. Ever since the Yuki siblings were still infants, the bodyguard was their constant companion. Yuki Sato, the children's father, was always away on business trips and was barely spending any time with his only children. Noticing the far out look on Domovoi's face, Kira chuckled.

"Wake up! Domovoi Reed!"

Kira laughed as she jumped on the bed, causing the bodyguard to snap back to reality. Domovoi laughed at his own expense and then looked at both of them. Takeshi was already clad in his dark blue dress shirt and slacks and Kira was still busy fixing the hem of her pastel blue knee-length dress that reached until her knees. "I'll just go ahead then, since Kira's still not finished," Takeshi said as he jerked his head at Kira who stuck her tongue out in response. The guardian just nodded as Takeshi took his leave. Of the two siblings, Takeshi was always the responsible big brother. He had to be, for his sister since their mum died and their dad was busy most of the time. That was something Domovoi admired about Takeshi, he learned responsibility at a young age, always looking out for his little sister. "Are you alright there?" Kira glanced at the almost 7 foot man behind her. "I'm alright, Kira. Just in deep thought." Domovoi assured his charge, patting her shoulder. His words seemed to assure the girl as she nodded and went back to fixing her hair. She laid down her brush, "I miss Liverpool", looking at Domovoi through the mirror. A sigh came out from the giant. For 17 years, Liverpool was their home. It was where Takeshi was born and then a year after, Kira was born. "Mr. Sato has already decided to settle here, Kira and besides, I think that it's about time we had a change in scenery." He tried to cheer her up. True, it was never easy to move from continent to continent. The siblings had to adjust to another culture and to people. That was the problem. Kira was the exact description of an introvert. She was the type that avoided crowds which were unfamiliar to her. During social gatherings with their father's business partners, she would usually stick to her brother and guardian. "Are you good to go?" Domovoi asked, giving Kira an assuring look that everything will be alright. At first Kira closed her eyes then, she took a deep breath and then nodded. The pair went down and headed towards the living room to meet their guests. Before entering, Kira again, checked her appearance, "It'll be alright, you'll see", Domovoi grinned at the girl. He opened the door and let Kira go in then he followed.

"Oh, here she is," Takeshi smiled, "my sister, Kira," he introduced. The girl gave a curt nod, "It's a pleasure to meet you mister and missus…"she drifted off. "Banks", Takeshi whispered on her ear. "Mr. and Mrs. Banks," she smiled. "We live next door to your family and welcome to the neighborhood," Mrs. Banks said. The siblings said their thanks and Domovoi excused himself. "By the way, this is Adam," Takeshi motioned to a boy with blonde hair," he's in your year, sis" he added with a grin. They all sat down comfortably. On the couch were the Banks and in front of them was another couch occupied by Takeshi and Kira. "We apologize again, we weren't prepared for guests and father isn't around at the moment…"Takeshi trailed off. "It's alright, dears. After all, we were the ones who barged in on your doorstep!" Mrs. Banks laughed heartedly. The door opened and Domovoi entered with tea. He set it on the table and handed each guest then the siblings a cup. Taking a sip from his tea, "I heard from your father that you play hockey, Takeshi," Mr. Banks said. The Japanese boy grinned and nodded. Hockey wasn't very popular in England so, when Takeshi was informed of moving to America, he was ecstatic. At least, he thought, it was something he was looking forward to. Hockey was his passion. Plus football, of course, when one grew up in England, it's not hard not to like football. "I play center for my team back in England, sir," he said, and glanced at his sister who just meekly smiled at him. His sister didn't play hockey but, she always watched her brother whenever he had a game and sometimes, during practice. "So, both of you grew up there, Kira?" Mrs. Banks said, smiling at the girl. "Yes, ma'am, both of us were born and raised there," she replied. "Well, why the move? I mean it is rather far from here." Mrs. Banks asked, taking a biscuit. This time, Kira and Takeshi both glanced at each other. It was still a touchy subject but, both of them knew that there was somebody bound to ask them about it. "That is true. A thousand miles and more from here to Liverpool, I would wonder as well what they would be doing here." She chuckled. Well the reason we moved here was," she paused and pondered for the right words, "we wanted a fresh start."

Adam observed his new neighbors. There was a mystery behind the girl's tone that he could not decipher. As if, something drastic has occurred and they had to move across continents. His mother seemed to have read his thoughts. "I certainly don't want to intrude on family matters but if you don't mind me asking, dears but, what do you mean?" Takeshi was about to reply when Domovoi interposed. "Mrs. Mikoto, the children's mother, recently passed away. Mr. Sato thought it best to cope elsewhere." The Banks turned solemn. "I'm sorry to hear that, children. I do hope that both of you will be feel better here." Mrs. Banks looked with concern at the Yuki siblings. "Thank you for the concern, Mrs. Banks. We will get by." Takeshi assured them. "Hey Takeshi, my friends and I play hockey. You should hit the ice with us some time." Adam invited. His father merely shook his head. But that didn't seem to bother Adam one bit. In fact, he was used to it. Mr. Banks will always disapprove that he still hangs out with the Ducks. Speaking of the Ducks, he thought. They already have a good record as far as Adam was concerned. There is no way that being a part of Mighty Ducks would ruin his chances of being drafted to the NHL or so his father thought. "That would be brilliant, Adam!" He exclaimed. "I mean, if that's alright with your team, of course", Takeshi said. Finally, he would get to play. Sure, it wasn't like the one back in England but, he'd adjust or try to. Takeshi's smile did not go unnoticed. Domovoi saw some spark of excitement present in his charge's eyes. "Would you like a tour of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Banks?" Domovoi asked. He stood up when the couple complied with his invitation and opened the door for them, "This way please. Would you like to join us, Kira?" He inquired. The girl was about to stand up when her brother stopped her, "It's alright, Domovoi, ol' chap. Kira's staying with me and Adam." Takeshi told Domovoi. The body guard nodded and led the couple around the house.

Once the door was closed, "No offense to your folks, Adam but, you know, Kira, I wouldn't want you to hang out with older folks all the time." Takeshi lightly elbowed his sister who in turn gave him a smirk. The two boys laughed. "The Ducks would definitely be happy to meet you." Adam smiled. "They'd enjoy your antics", he added. Brother and sister shared a bewildered look. The look on their faces surprised Adam, "You can always come too, Kira, if you'd like to watch us." Adam said. Kira shook her head. "Thank you for the invitation, Adam. But, I'm not very fond of ducks." The confused look on their faces caused Adam to laugh, "I'm sorry." He apologized in between his laughs. "I didn't mean watching some birds. I meant the hockey team I'm playing for." This time the siblings joined him in laughter. Takeshi chuckled, "Of course. But I never took you for a bird-person." Kira smiled. "We should've waited 'till he finished what he said, Take-nichan." "My bad." Adam held up his hand in surrender. Takeshi sniggered at the gesture, "It's alright, mate. So, how long have you been playing together with your team?" Adam mused at the past few years he had playing for the Might Ducks. So much has happened way back when he transferred from the Hawks to the Ducks. It was a struggle to fit in with the other Ducks. But after he got checked and sent out the game, Jesse and the others finally grew on him. Just last year, they had won in the Goodwill Games. He learned a lot from them on, fame, could just get you off your game. "We've been a team since we were 12." He said. "Ducks fly together, "he paused, still musing, "That's our motto." Adam then recounted to the siblings the past events from his time with the Hawks to today. Every now and then they'd pause to laugh and Takeshi would divulge a little bit from their hometown. "So that's mostly the story of the Ducks", Adam said as when finished talking about the past. It was silent for a moment and then an evil smile crept into Takeshi's face. "You look like you're highly infatuated with your team, mate." Takeshi taunted. "That's not it, aniki. He's completely heels over head for hockey." Kira added. "That's real cute, you two." Adam said in heavy sarcasm. "If hockey were a lass, he'd be off with her in a second." Takeshi grinned. He noticed that Adam was the one who took hockey seriously. Too seriously, he thought. "What do you reckon, Kira?" His sister shared the same expression with him. "I don't know, "Kira paused, smiling innocently at Adam. "At least someone here is still sane." Adam commented. "What are you saying, sis?" Takeshi said in mock disbelief. "Don't get me wrong here", she said in her defense, "Takeshi, you must be off your trolley!" Now Adam was confused. "Ok. What does that mean?" Takeshi shook his head, "she just told me I was crazy," he muttered. "And why am I off my mind?" Takeshi asked, but knowing where this was going. "For starters, he'd probably know that beforehand and they'd be married already," she snapped her fingers, "just like that. It's even faster than a thought." Takeshi laughed while Adam shook his head. "Hmm…" he thought and then his eyes widened, "now I see where you're getting at! That was mighty brilliant." Takeshi patted his sister on the shoulder. "Of course", she said smugly, "but you already knew that from the beginning. You let me take credit, oaf." Her brother scoffed. "Bingo." "You two have got to be kidding me. You two are worse than Averman!" Adam jested. "Thank you." They said at the same time. Their jovial banter continued until the door opened and Mrs. Banks called her son.

"Adam, honey, we have to go now."

Adam sighed. He was having a fun time. "Thanks for having us over, kids." Mr. Banks said. "You have a nice place." He added. Domovoi and the siblings went with the Banks to the front door. "No problem Mr. and Mrs. Banks. For stopping by, I mean. It was pleasant having visitors around." Takeshi said. Kira nodded. The couple headed towards their house. Adam stayed behind a few steps.

"Hey, Takeshi! So, would you like to come and meet the Ducks?"
