"Taiya, I just received a call from the hospital. Apparently, your

mother lost control of her vehicle, and crashed into a pole. Because the seat

flipped forward she was killed automatically. In her will it was written that

you move to Japan, and live with some of her close friends, the Akiyama's."

"Doesn't your daughter live in Japan?"

"Yes, and you will meet her, for she is also staying with the Akiyama's."

Meanwhile in Japan .

"Ryo, a guest is going to be living with us from now on," spoke Ryo's

father, as they ate their supper.

"When are they coming?" he asked excitedly. To him, it was always a

pleasure to meet someone new.

"They will be coming near the end of May," he answered, while still

chewing.

"How old is he?"

"She is thirteen, just a little younger than you."

Ryo took in what had just been said. A, a girl was staying in his

house. His house! Not someone else's house, but his house!

"And when are you coming back?"

"I'll be in and out, so I can't tell you for sure," he answered sadly.

Ryo got up from the table and put his dishes near the sink. He then

started to walk towards his room, when his father spoke again.

"Oh, and Ryo, because Rika's mother is also traveling, she is staying with

you as well."

Ryo continued the walk until he was in his room. Now he had two

things to worry about. One, the new girl coming and living with him, and the

never changing attitude of Rika Nonaka, who was also staying at his house.

Well Rika staying was a good thing, in a way. She also hated, 'Ryo fans',

and it would be a pleasure for her to torture one of them. Well, if she was

willing to work with him, that is.

At Rika's house, at around the same time.

"Rika, I have some good news for you," said her mother, as Rika tried to eat

her supper.

"What mother? Can't you see I'm busy eating?" Rika answered coldly.

Ok, maybe she was being a little mean to her mother lately, but it was

for a good cause. Her mother was planning to go on a modeling spree for a

year, and her mother was bringing her along. What could be worst? Well

staying with Ryo could be.

" Rika, a few things have been changed. The trip is only going to last six

months."

"Yippee," she muttered

"Well anyways, how long the trip last isn't really your concern."

"And why is that?"

"Because you're not going. I realized that you'd rather stay here so."

" Thank you sooo much mom! But then, who am I staying with?" she asked

curiously.

" I was just getting there. Because everyone is too busy, you will be staying

with Ryo."

I just had to jinx it, ehh. Well it could be worse; a Ryo fan could be staying

with us .

"Oh, and I almost forgot, a girl from out of town is staying with you as

well."

I just had to say that didn't I? It could be worse; she could go to our

school.

" Oh and Rika, she's going to your school too."

I just had to jinx it again. No more it could be worse!
