Prologue:
It was a normal spring day within Miami in Florida with the sun blaring down onto the kids running to school and elders playing different kinds of sport, people going to work, horns blaring on the busy roads and streets of the hot state.
Inside a house was a mother making the breakfast for her two twins who were naturally sleeping upstairs in their room. The room was painted Prussian blue and the beds were lined up against the walls parted by a brown oak wooden night-table, laminate flooring, and mint green curtains with a pattern of orange basketballs.
The two children laid there, the twins, one boy, one girl, it was 7:30 am, and next thing there was screaming up the stairs.
"Tatsuya! Mizuki! Time for school!"
The only sound was the groaning of a seven-year old girl, and the snoring of her twin brother. Then the mother went back to preparing their lunch and breakfast. Once again there was shouting this time it was deeper.
"OI! GET YOUR LAZY ASSES OUT OF BED!"
Then there was silence. Which was soon broken by the sounds of stomping up the stairs, and the door slammed open, causing the boy to flinch and fall out of his bed, a thump, and then a groan of "Ow that hurts."
The girl didn't budge and soon, she was being dragged off her comfy bed, wrapped in her duvet, and out of the bedroom, by her father.
The nine month pregnant mother waddled over to the front door as the bell rang. Answering the door, two kids stood there, a girl and a boy. The boy had short red hair with black tips, while the girl had long black hair. These two were the friends of the twins, Riaka and Taiga. The woman smiled warmly at them
"Tatsuya and Mizuki will be down in a minute, make yourselves at home." She stepped aside and let the children in.
The two stepped into the house, and took their shoes off. Walking onto the wooden floors, they stood there and stared at the black-haired girl who was currently being dragged down the stairs wrapped in her duvet, by her father, while her twin brother slowly walked down the stairs, behind them yawning tiredly. The visitors blinked, and tried not to snicker at the scene unfolding in front of them.
The father looked round at the Riaka and Taiga, as they stood there, their hands covering their mouths as they try to hold back their laughter.
"Ah. Ohayou, Taiga-kun, Riaka-chan."
"Ohayou, Himuro-san."
A thin pale arm soon emerged from within the duvet, into the view of the youngsters.
"Hey guys."
Tatsuya stood there and blinked, before nodding his head, and walked to the kitchen to get his breakfast. Mizuki slowly emerged from her cocoon of duvet and raised herself from the floor, stretching and emitting strange noises. Everyone stared at her
"What?" she looks at them all "everyone makes strange noises when they stretch." Shrugging her shoulders and walks into the kitchen after Tatsuya, in search of her breakfast.
Riaka skipped into the kitchen and stopped as she crashed into the dark-haired boy, falling backwards the younger girl started to blush drastically, as she stared at the boy's hand, stretched out in front of her. Meanwhile, Taiga walked past the two and went to sit down at the table, while their mother set out the bowls for breakfast.

After having breakfast and walking to school, the four kids, had to spilt, going to their specific rooms, given to them on their timetables. Each of them agreed to meet up in the Gymnasium, during, break, lunch and the courts after school, before heading home. Spending the days in the classroom, the twins were in their classes while Riaka and Kagami spent their lesson time staring out of the windows, not even paying attention to the teachers ranting. After school, they all had a two-on-two match, girls verses boys, before heading home.
When Riaka ended up on her doorstep, she saw, her bags outside, with a plane ticket, some money, a passport and nothing else. Outside sat a taxi, which had just arrived, and a letter, saying 'You're going to Japan, to live with your aunt and cousin. - Mom and Dad.' The child sighed, as she jumped into the cab and left for the airport, Kagami watched out of his window, opposite her house as she left.
That was the last time they ever saw Riaka, before finding out that the child had been sent to go live with her aunt and cousin in Japan, by her mother and fathers orders, from Kagami himself the next day.
