Chapter 1

It was a sunny day outside, but inside the red car driving down the road, it wasn't sunny at all. "Are we there yet?!?!" Haruka whined.

"No!" her brother Takumi, who was behind the wheel, said irritably.

"When WILL we get there?"

"Shut up! We'll get there when we get there!"

"Can we turn on the radio?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because I'm tired and I'm trying to concentrate on the road!"

Haruka huffed and glared out the window at the clouds passing by. "I don't see why we have to move to some stupid new town. What was wrong with living in Okinawa?" she muttered.

Her brother sighed. "We've been over this Haruka."

She leaned her head on the window. "No, because you always avoid the subject or yell at me for asking."

He shook his head. "Haruka, I know you were really attached to that place, but this is for the both of us. Mom and Dad left us with a huge house to pay off. We can't afford something like that, even with all the money they left us…"

"So your answer is to sell the place we've called home our entire lives?!?!"

"Yes! Please stop yelling Haruka. I'm already annoyed as it is…"

"Okay, okay." Haruka leaned against the cool glass of the window again and dozed off.

A couple hours later…

"Haruka! Wake up!" Haruka groaned and swatted blindly at the hand shaking her shoulder. "Tired…" Her brother sighed and shook her harder. "Don't make me carry you out by your arms. You know I can do it."

"Alright, alright…" Haruka said groggily. She got up and looked around. Her brother walked over and talked to the men who were driving the moving truck, and then started helping them take boxes into the house. She walked up to him. "Onii-san, I'm going to go take a walk, okay?"

"Okay, whatever…" her brother said over a huge cardboard box he had in his hands. Haruka turned and wandered off.

A couple minutes later…

Tadase, Nadeshiko, Yaya, and Kukai were walking from the school when someone stepped in front of them. It was a girl that looked about their age. They'd never seen her before and she wasn't even wearing a school uniform. She had stick straight black hair that passed just below her shoulder blades and huge teal eyes. She was wearing a green camouflage cadet cap. Her shirt, which fit snugly on her body, had a matching camouflage pattern and exclaimed on the front, I don't care what you say. You can't see me. Her pants were baggy khaki cargos and her slip-on tennis shoes were black and white checkered. She was staring them down in a sort of creepy way, her gaze sweeping over each of them in turn. All the fangirls in the background watched nervously. Suddenly her gaze rested on Tadase, her eyes narrowing.

"You're a fag." Was all she said. All of the nearby students were fifth graders, and were utterly perplexed. They murmured to one another in confusion. "She called him queer!" Kukai called out, trying to explain to them. They still stared at him with blank faces. Kukai face-palmed. "She called him gay!"

You could hear all of them saying, "Oh…." In sudden realization. Then the fangirls gasped in shock and the boys all called out things like, "Ooh, burn!"

The girl rolled her eyes. "And what's with the cape? What, do you think you're a superhero or something?" She mocked a superhero pose, standing on one foot with one fist on her hip and the other in the air. She put her foot and hands back down into a relaxed pose before calmly turning and sauntering off as if it was nothing. The guardians, Tadase in particular, just stared after her in confusion and shock. The fangirls were buzzing anxiously about the girl who had just insulted their beloved "prince".

Meanwhile, the girl turned a corner as she walked away from the school. She could still hear the people chattering. Suddenly she ran into someone. She looked up to see her sixteen year old brother Takumi. "There you are Haruka. What're you doing, running off like that?" he asked.

Haruka shrugged. "I told you I was going to take a walk. Guess you didn't hear me."

"Oh well. C'mon, you need to help me take our stuff out of the moving truck." He patted her head and they walked off together.

"Hey…Onii-san?" she asked him.

"Yea?"

"Has that egg of yours hatched?"

"No…what, has yours?" he stopped and turned to look at his little sister.

"No…but it will eventually right?"

"I guess so."

They continued in silence until they got to the house. "Here." Takumi said to Haruka, handing her a box. It was so heavy the weight immediately caused Haruka to fall over. Takumi tried to stifle his laughter and helped her up. "You baka, it's full of books. It's going to be heavy. Try to think about that okay?"

"Easy for you to say!" She said stubbornly. "You're bigger than me!"

"Of course I am, shrimp!" He teased before picking up his own box and going with her into the new house. Once inside, he dropped his box on the wood floor and straightened up, looking around. "Well, this is our new home, Haruka…"

Haruka looked around, unimpressed. "I liked our old house more…"

"Just give it up, Haruka. We're living here, whether you like it or not. And tomorrow, you're going to your new school. I even took your measurements to them and they got you your new uniform. Wanna see it?"

"No…it probably just looks stupid…"

"Okay then."

Later on…

Haruka collapsed onto the couch and stared out the window. The sun was setting. She and her brother had been taking stuff inside all afternoon. She pulled off her hat and tossed it aside. "I'm hot. Where did you put the cooler? I want some soda."

"In the kitchen by the back door." Takumi answered.

"Okay." Haruka walked off to the kitchen. She pulled a can of soda out of the cooler and walked back into the living room, where her brother was sitting on the couch. She plopped down beside him. A couple minutes passed silently between them as Haruka sipped on her drink. Suddenly, her brother embraced her tightly.

"Onii-san?"

"I'm sorry Haruka. I know how hard this is for you. You were so little when Dad died, and I know that I'm never going to be able to be as much of a parent as he and Mom were. But I promise I'm going to try the best I can, okay?"

Slowly, Haruka returned her brother's embrace and nodded into his shirt. "I'm sorry I was being so mean to you, Onii-san…"

"It's okay…" he said, rocking her back and forth comfortingly. Haruka felt like she was little girl again, her brother holding her like her Mom used to whenever she was sad or lonely.

"And Haruka?"

"Yea?"

"It's okay to cry sometimes…"

Haruka nodded again. "I know…"
