Introduction
Mikan Sakura and her brother Youichi lived together alone.
Their parents' history was not a good one. Their father was a bad guy who smuggled goods, and did all illegal business. He used to bed many woman. That was how Mikan and Youichi were born, both from different mothers working at the same bar. The children were made to work in the cafe. They were not treated nice. When Youichi was 6 years and Mikan was 8 years old, they both had enough. They both ran away from the bar with whatever money they could collect.
From then on, Mikan worked hard in many places to earn money for their living and her brother's study. She really wanted her brother to study and be a successful man, so she worked hard. Her brother understood well how hard his sister worked for him, and so he studied hard and won many scholarships for studies. They both lived in a small house which was not well furnished, but that was what they could afford. They were very poor but had enough to manage their day to day. Currently, Mikan was working in a gas station in the morning, and in a cafe in the evening. Youichi was in the final year of high school. Mikan never studied in any school, but learned how to read and write from her brother. It was needed for her jobs.
Youichi was a very bright student, who spoke very less. Mikan was a cheerful girl. Both were optimistic people whose deep wish was to see the other sibling smiling and happy. So that covered all their hardships.
Natsume and Aoi were two very famous students. Both looked very attractive, had good brains, were clever, never cheated anyone, always stuck to their choices and decisions, and were richest in the town. But their personalities were quite different. Aoi was a very cheerful girl who always was out to enjoy herself. She enjoyed doing new things and trusted people. Natsume was a cold emotion-not-showing person who was irritated by fans. He loved his sister and protected her. He did not believe easily in others, and so had a few but very trusting and close friends.
Natsume had completed his studies and now worked with his father to help him in business. Aoi was Youichi's classmate. She had a crush on Youichi but never told that to him or anyone till now, except her brother. The other three were never in any relation or crush.
Hotaru Imai was a 22 year genius, who worked in a scientific lab in the same town. She was identical to Natsume in behaviour, and was very clever. She was used to collecting good amount of money for whatever she does for others, just to make sure no one uses her for their own gain irrationally. So people used to keep away from her unless necessary. Hotaru never minded that, though she always wished for a true friend.
Ruka Nogi was different. He had huge business in his hands, but helped his father run it. He was more attached to pets and had an animal home built in his house. He was a normal reaction guy, not too cold, not too warm, who kept distance from people who he thought were coming to him just for profit sake.
The scientific lab that Hotaru worked in was owned by the Hyyuga Industries.
