Thud

I lazily cracked open my right eye. It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the sun was shining brightly. It was a comfortable 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The sky was light blue with only a few clouds in sight. The birds sang happily as a calming breezed passed by and slightly moved the grass that I was laying on. I regained my breath as the burning feeling from my lungs started to slowly disappear. Slowly I sat up and felt the breeze kiss my red face that was caused from running about two miles I think. I can't remember. I started running at six in the morning and I'm not sure what time it is now. I forgot my watch in the hallway leading to the main door of the house [to exit]. My guess was it's probably late 7ish or early 8 in the morning. I threw my head back and smiled as I closed my eyes. The breeze really felt good. Nothing could ruin my day of relaxation, nothing I tell you nothing-

"HOSHI!!!!" Tomo screeched as she came running towards me.

Scratch that. Something just ruined my day of relaxation. I cracked my eye open and looked up at Tomo who towered over me [I'm sitting down] with her hands on her hips and Sakuno in tow. A grin was etched on her face which made me curious as to why.

"Hoshi! I'm doing an extra credit project for Citizenship Class [A/N:I made this up ^^] and I need you to help me!" Tomo shouted as I blinked.

"Um…I'm kinda busy and-"

"Oh please! All I need if for you to fill out this test! I'm trying to pair/match up people with their soul mates! I've got the Regulars for all sport teams, my Ryoma fan-club, Chess club, Music Club/Band, Anime Club and our homeroom! I've got them all except you. You're the only one from the Regular Soccer team, Music Club/Band and our homeroom who didn't get this sheet! So PLEASSSSSSSE!!" Tomo begged as she held a small packet in her hands.

"Ok, give it here…" I gave in sighing while closing my eyes and extending up my left arm to be handed the paper.

"Thanks! Give it back by next week!!!" Tomo shouted as she and Sakuno retreated to some other place.

I looked down and the paper and read aloud the first question…

"Do you like Ryoma Echizen?" I had this giant sweat drop on the back of my head as I gave the piece of paper a tired look.

"What about me?" a voice from behind asked as I threw up the paper in shock.

I looked up and was about to grab the quiz only to have another hand pluck it out of the air. I bent my head back further to see Ryoma reading the packet Tomo gave me.

"Your doing this too?" Ryoma asked as he quirked up an eyebrow.

"I have problems saying no, ok? Besides it seems sort of fun. I like quizzes or tests like these. They're so fun." I answered as I looked down at my feet.

"How? Just say it. It's not that hard."

"To me it is."

"Made Made Dane." Ryoma replied as he bounced his racket on his left shoulder as a smirk tugged on his lips.

I merely pouted at the much used catch phrase he used almost everyday. I sometimes wonder if he can live a day without saying it. He'd probably go mad or something. I don't know. I stood up and took the packet back from Ryoma's hand.

"Don't 'Made Made Dane' me Ryoma. I know I've got ways to go but so do you, so don't go around saying that to everyone you meet." I huffed as I folded the packet and started to head home.

My house was only a few minutes away from the park I was just at. Kunimitsu and I always used to go their as children to play and hang around the cherry blossom trees.

"Tadaima!" I shouted as I took off my shoes and placed them in their correct place.

"Okaeri!" my mother shouted from the kitchen.

"Okaa-San, do you know where Aniki is?" I asked as I looked around.

"He went fishing with your father my little star child." my mother explained as she smiled at me.

"Ok, I'm going to go take a shower Okaa-San." I told my mother as I walked upstairs towards the bathroom.

I stripped down and took a nice warm shower. Once done I went into my room to put on some clothes [anything you want] and grab my violin case. I looked at the packet and a pen laying on top of my desk and thought that I might as well finish it. I walked over to my desk and sat on the black swivel chair that was in front of my desk. I re-read the first question and wrote down my response [Hey I'm not telling you what I wrote, it's personal -.- ] and continued to fill out the sheet.

Do you like Tennis?

N.O.

What's your favorite color [only choose one]

Purple

Are you single?

Yes.

What's your favorite food?

Fried Fish, Sushi and Chawanmushi

What's your favorite plant?

Sakura Trees

Those where only a few of the questions. Some where stupider and others where just sorta plain stupid. But I did finish it. I placed the quiz in my bag and slung my violin case around my shoulder. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to see my mom in front of the stove cooking something.

"Okaa-San I'm gonna go out and practice the violin but first I'm gonna go and find Aniki and Otou-San." I announced as my mother smiled as me.

"Ok but here…take your lunch and give this to your Aniki and Otou-San when you find them." my mother told me sweetly as she handed me three bento boxes.

One was white with coal black musical notes dancing around the box and the other was dark blue with lighter blue sakura petals on it. Kunimitsu loves sakura trees just like me. I guess I sorta rubbed off on him a bit since he didn't like Sakura Trees when he was 5 and I was 3. The last one was a pink and white Hello Kitty bento box. It was sorta like a punishment in our family. If you didn't do what you where told [and you got 3 chances] than you'd have to go around with a Hello Kitty bento box for three weeks. My father forgot to take out the trash so now we're stuck with a full garbage can till next Friday which means we'll have to recycle almost everything [as in use food waste as compost for the garden, and try and find uses for other things in the house. We already recycle plastic, aluminum cans, glass and paper]. I nodded my head as I held both bento boxes in my hand and gave my mother a peck on the cheek.

"Bye Okaa-san." I called as I went to put on my shoes.

"Come back before 5!" my mother shouted as I grabbed my keys and wallet.

"Ok!" I shouted back as I exited the house and walked towards the local park [it's a different one from the one I was at earlier].

I wandered around the park till I came across a quiet and peaceful river where I saw two male silhouettes sitting at the edge of the river with a fishing pole in their hands. Across the river where two more males. I think one of them was a monk and the other Ryoma but I wasn't sure. I walked over to the two male silhouettes and tapped one of them on the back with the tip of my shoe. The male turned around to reveal my father.

"Ah Hoshi. What are you doing here?" my father asked as Kunimitsu turned around to face me.

"Okaa-San asked me to bring you guys your lunch." I explained as I handed out the lunches and sat down in between Kunimitsu and my Otou-San while we all ate our lunches which consisted of our favorite.

"ah…a Hello Kitty onigiri. My favorite!" my father exclaimed as he started to chow down on his Hello Kitty meal.

I smiled at my father and started to chow down on my sushi happily as I gently kicked my bare feet in the cool water of the river. We all enjoyed our time together [even though Kunimitsu didn't show it] and Kunimitsu caught some fish, while Otou-San…scared them off. I love my family.

"WATH OUT!!" Someone shouted as a tennis ball hit my in the head causing me to fall into the water since I was bending over the water real close to see the fish.

Once I resurfaced as I looked to see it was the two 6 year olds from yesterday. Once they saw me looking at them they ran for the hills. Literally.

"Sorry!!" they shouted as I sighed.

Tennis isn't my thing.
