"Ritsuka. Ritsuka wake up we're here." Soubi shakes me awake.
I open my eyes and see a huge gate in front of us. "Wow, I knew she had a lot of money but I didn't know she lived here."
"Yea, she got it from our fathers parents." He say's tightening his grip on my hands.
I take his hand and kiss it, "Don't worry Soubi. Everything will be fine."
He smiles, "As long as you're with me it will be."
"Soubi how is Toshiko related to you again." Toshi asks from the front seat.
"Toshiko is my half sister from my father. Her mother died when she was ten and she went to lived with her grandparents, after that my father married my mother. Toshiko hated both of them and didn't see us at all, I only found out about her a few years ago." He looks out the window, "She had head that her father had had another child and she found me."
As we approach the front of the house I lean across Soubi to get a better look at the house
"Okay here's how its going to go. Soubi you and Ritsuka have to stay inside for the most part of it. Ritsuka your school is going to send me your work with a video from Yuiko of all your classes. I'll send them here so that you don't fall behind, and Soubi that go's for you also." Toshi stops the car, "Okay here you go."
We get out of the car Soubi hands me my crutches. I look up at the bed house"Damn it's big." I say taking a step forward.
"Hello Master Ritsuka, Master Soubi." I hear someone say.
I look and see a young girl standing in front of me with white hair that went down to her knees. But her eyes were beautiful, they were as golden as a sunset. "My name is Hana and I will be serving you both. Please don't feel afraid to ask me of anything."
"Hello Hana I'm Soubi and this is Ritsuka." Soubi says walking behind me, "Is Toshiko home?"
"Of course I'm home Soubi I just had to meet you two." A voice says from above us.
I look up and see a girl with blond hair and dark green eyes. She looks nothing like Soubi.
"Hello Toshiko how are you?" Soubi says smiling at his sister.
"I'm doing wonderful," She smiles at him and then looks at me, "You must be Ritsuka. Am I correct?"
I smile, "Yes I'm Aoyagi Ritsuka. It's very nice to meet you Toshiko."
She walks down the steeps and come's towards me, "You are cute! I can see why Soubi likes you so much." She hugs me and then Soubi. "Well let's not stand out here in the sun come inside." She looks over her shoulder, "Sora, Aki get their bags and take them to there room."
A girl and a boy come out from the house and start getting out bags.
Toshiko looks at Toshi, "You must be officer Toshi. Please come inside also."
We follow her up the steps. When she opens the door I can't help but be amazed.
"Wow this place is huge!" I say walking in.
"Yes it is, but don't worry you wont get lost." Toshiko smiles at me, "Come this way please."
We follow her into the library and yet again I can't help but be amazed.
"Would you all like some tea?" Toshiko asks sitting down.
"Yes that would be nice." Soubi says sitting down also.
"Jiro will you please bring us some tea." Toshiko says looking at a man standing in the doorway.
"Of course madam." He shuts the door.
I sit down next to Soubi placing my crutches beside the couch.
"I'm so gad to have you both here. But I wish it were for different reasons." Toshiko smiles.
"Thank you for having us." I say looking around.
For a few minutes nobody moves but then officer Toshi's phone starts ringing. "Excuse me I have to take this." He get's up and leaves.
"Soubi how have you been?" Toshiko says look at him.
"I've been well." He takes my hand, "and you Toshiko?"
"I've been better." She smiles at Soubi.
Jiro walks back in with some tea and cookies. He places them on the table in front of us.
"Thank you Jiro." Toshiko says picking up her cup.
He looks at me with sad eyes and then leaves.
"Ritsuka you must try the cookies they are amazing!" Toshiko says hand me some.
I take them from her, "Thank you."
"Don't thank me just yet. Try them." She says laughing a little.
I take a bite of the cookie, "It is good."
Just as I was about to say something else Toshi walks back in but he looks like someone has died.
"Officer Toshi is something wrong?" Soubi asks looking at him.
"Soubi, Ritsuka I have some terrible news." He looks at the ground.
"What's wrong? Please tell us." I say standing up.
"Ritsuka sit down." Soubi says trying to get me to sit down but I knock his hand away.
He looks up at me with sad eyes, "Your house is gone."
I stare at him confused, "What? What do you mean?"
"Ritsuka," he looks at Soubi "your house caught fire and there's nothing left. I'm so sorry."
I stare at him, "No, no this….." Everything starts to spin, "But why?"
Then everything went black.
