Chapter 2 : Snow Race
In another town, three kids were running down the street as the snow covered them. Even in the snow, they wanted to see who can run the fastest. At their destination, a boy with red hair cheered, grinning like an idiot, showing his sharp teeth.
" And Yoshi Matsuoka wins first place!" A girl, the same age as him finished along with her twin brother. She wiped the snow off her pants, strains of her black hair falling in her face.
" I can't believe you beat me," she said. " Though, I'm pretty sure you cheated."
Her brother, Eri Yamazaki, rolled his eyes." How the hell would he cheat in the snow, Kai?" he asked.
" There is such a thing called sledding," Kaiya informed her brother. " Yoshi has on boots so he could slide down."
Yoshi shrugged. " That does make sense Kai. But, besides that you have to treat me to some hot chocolate."
" What?! That wasn't the deal!" Kaiya exclaimed.
Yoshi put his hands behind his head, with a grin on his face. " Well, since I'm the winner, I can decide."
Kaiya rolled her eyes. " Fine, fine. What about it Eri?" Her older twin shrugged, not caring about the situation.
" Get him whatever," was all he said.
The three of them walked to the nearby store. Afterwards, they sat down on the bench. Yoshi drank his hot chocolate happily. Kaiya couldn't help but smile at his excitement.
" I guess you picked a good one," she said.
Yoshi nodded, taking another sip of his drink.
" Are you thinking about doing another relay?" he asked. Yoshi stopped drinking and looked at the ground, in thought.
" I don't know," he simply said. " It depends, but I want to be able to do another relay." He looked up at the cloudy sky. " And maybe, we can win next time. I won't lose to that girl anymore."
Eri chuckled. " Yeah, I want to face them again." He turned to his younger twin, "What do you think Kai? I know you only did it with us once, but your opinion still counts in this."
Kaiya smiled. " If you think I don't want to be in another relay then you're wrong. Amaya Nanese, right? That will be interesting."
