The chapters are all messed because I really needed to edit something. Before, it said 16 year olds, I wanted 15 year olds. So please excuse the mess up.

Akane awoke from her nap. She glanced at the picture and clock on her bedside table.

9:30 pm?! Had she really sleep this long? Akane bounced out of bed, and climbed the stairs quickly. She found her twins sitting in front of the TV eating Instant Ramen.

"Hey Mom!" Tora waved her chopsticks.

"Uh, hi." Akane blushed. "I am so sorry. I just let the time slip away!"

"No worries, Mom. This is why we keep Instant Ramen in the house," Kiyoshi smiled brilliantly.

Akane nodded, "I am still sorry… Whatcha watching?" The show was taking about a hot spring.

"And a hot spring can always be enjoyable…even in the summer!"

"Just some weird advertisement thingy," Tora replied.

"Yea. I guess he's trying to get us," Kiyoshi added.

"Well… he got me," Akane replied.

"Hmm? What, Mom?" Tora asked, oblivious to what her mom said.

"Never mind. I'm going back to bed. Don't stay up to late, you two."

Kiyoshi and Tora nodded, "'Night."

--

Akane made it upstairs, smiling. She had gotten rid of her tears, and tiredness.

Maybe I should always sleep during the day. I feel all… awesome at night. I get where Kiyoshi is coming from.

Akane sat in her large, lonely bed. But she didn't cry. For once, she didn't feel like it.

--

Tora was drifting off to sleep, when a commercial on the TV said rather loudly, "Are you still trying to get over that heart break?"

Tora and Kiyoshi glanced at each other. "Well! We have a wonderful offer for you!"

--

Akane was brimming with energy the next morning. She hastily packed her bag, and ran into her kids room.

Every time she entered their room, she couldn't help but smile a huge grin. Every since the kids were tiny, they wanted a room together. Now, even as 15 year olds…

"Wake up!" Akane called, and started to pull the covers off their bed. (Surprisingly, they also slept in the same bed.)

"'K, Mom," Tora said, "Just go away."

"Well, you NEED to get up."

"Why? It's summer," Kiyoshi pointed out.

"I know. But, what have we done this summer?" Akane asked.

"Nothing…" Tora said.

"Well, we are actually doing something today!"

Tora cheered, and jumped out of bed.

Kiyoshi groaned and pulled the covers higher over his head.

Akane smiled, "Tora, I'll let you do the honors."

Tora smiled. She clutched the covers from the bottom of the bed and ripped them off Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi let out a girly squeak.

Akane stopped in her tracks. "Kiyoshi! Say something!"

"No!" His voice seemed normal until it raised highly near the 'o' at the end.

Tora giggled, "Wee! Kiyoshi! Do you hear your self?"

Kiyoshi buried his face further under his blanket.

Akane laughed and ripped the covers from his bed.

--

"Come on!" Tora dragged her twin out the door.

Kiyoshi resisted, and tried crawling back inside. But, Tora had inherited Akane's "brute" strength. She ripped Kiyoshi away from the doorway.

Akane and Tora pushed Kiyoshi into the car, laughing. They quickly locked the doors to prevent an escape.

And Kiyoshi started doing what he did best. Whined. He wined about his voice, and the zit on his forehead. He whined about the car ride, and how he was sick. He asked, in a high pitch voice, "Why does Tora get to sit in the front?"

Tora laughed, and laughed. Akane, suddenly tense, said, "Hey honey? Kiyoshi? Could you please shut up?"

Kiyoshi, taken aback, said in his high voice, "But why? Why are you being so mean? Why do you hate me?"

Tora and Akane burst of laughing.

"It's true!" Kiyoshi collapsed onto the seat, "You all hate me!"

Akane pulled the car over. She turned and gave Kiyoshi a killer glare, "DO NOT ACCUSE ME OF HATING MY OWN SON!"

Kiyoshi's mouth would've dropped to the floor.

"I love you too!" Tora added in a sing-song voice, "You're my charming brother that is so lovable when he thinks everyone hates him!"

Kiyoshi tried to hide his upturning mouth.

"I see that smile!" Akane teased.

Kiyoshi laughed, smiling brightly, "Okay. I love you too."

Akane leaned as far back as she could, and kissed him on the forehead.

Tora smiled, "So Mom, where are we going anyways?"

Kiyoshi and Akane would have fallen over, if they were standing up.

"Tora, dear, I told just a few moments ago… when Kiyoshi was whining."

Kiyoshi laughed, "Even I heard!"

"Well," Tora looked away, "It's not MY fault you didn't say it LOUD enough for other people to hear."

"Oh Tora." Akane brushed her hand through her daughters hair.

"A hot spring," Kiyoshi mumbled.

"Ooh! Really?" Her good mood was restored.

Akane sighed, and put her hands on the steering wheel. She put the car into drive, and got back onto the road.

--

When they arrived, it was around lunch time and everyone was grumpy.

"Mom!" Tora moaned.

"What?" Akane snapped.

"You're supposed to be our mom!"

Kiyoshi groaned, "Didn't you even bring a map?"

To actually get to a hot spring, you normally had to hike a ways. Akane, not to well with directions, had gotten lost.

Tora, who always overreacted, plopped down on the ground and moaned.

"Get up!" Akane growled.

Tora whimpered and got up slowly.

Kiyoshi flipped his hair, in quite a girlish way, and said, "Mom? Can I lead?"

"Be my guest." Akane was willing to do anything.

Ten minutes later, they were there.

"Wee!" Tora squealed as she ran into the hut.

Kiyoshi smirked as his mom.

"Oh, don't give that look, young man." Akane said, annoyed.

When Kiyoshi and Akane went inside, Tora was flirting with a random guy.

"Hello! My name is Tora Saotome! I am 15 years old."

Akane gasped, and pulled her daughter away from the boy, "Sorry."

"No! Don't be sorry. My dad is owner, it's my job to listen to 'customers.'"

"Yea, right," Akane mumbled. Then she said louder, "Stay away from my daughter."

Kiyoshi glared at the guy.

"Well, can I help you?" He asked, ignoring the glares from the odd group.

"Yes!" Akane smiled suddenly.

"My name is Sachio. Yours?"

"I'm Akane. You already know Tora," she turned to give Tora a 'what were you thinking' face, "And this is my son Kiyoshi."

"How long will you be staying here?" Sachio asked, making his way to the counter.

"3 days," Akane answered, quite sure of her self.

The young man nodded, and scribbled something down on a piece of paper. Then he said jokingly, "Now, Tora, I just need your number."

Tora giggled, "Uh. Nah. I don't give out my phone number."

Akane nodded, approvingly.
