"...What now..."

A beautifully orange sunrise. A sunrise so beautiful many people would say that "What a beautiful sight to start the week". Some people sooner than others begin to get ready for the day, taking their usual time to get up. Breakfast being cooked, the youthful waking up, and people heading to work.

While that was happening, we cut to a boy still in bed. An alarm clock went off making the boy shuffle under the blanket, until a hand pops out. The hand slammed the alarm clock's snooze button, making the alarm come to a stop. As the boy put his hand back in the blanket, a figure comes into view. The figure being shaped as a matured woman, knocked on the opened door and flicked the light-switch on. The figurine then walked towards the boy's bed and sat down on it. Pulling the boy's blanket off of him and gently stirring him awake.

"Time to wake up, Yukari." The woman said with her soothing voice.

The boy now known as Yukari, rolled over to meet the woman eye to eye. The woman in front of Yukari was none other than his mother, Mitsuko Tokoyami. She has shoulder length Black hair and Amber eyes. Being someone around the age of 34, she's a beautifully matured woman. Both physically and mentally.

"Morning, Sleepyhead." The woman known as Mitsuko, said while giggling.

"...Morning..." Yukari sluggishly said back, while raising his upper body up from the bed.

Being the mother of six children, she was never pressured by the fact of raising all of them. She'd always take good care of them, especially Yukari.

"Today is the School's Entrance Ceremony, and I know you can't miss it." Mitsuko said.

"...Okay..." Yukari answered.

Before he and Mitsuko could further discuss, two little figures dash into Yukari's room and tackle him back on the bed.

"Good Morning, Big Bro Yuki!" the two figures yelled in unison.

One of the figures being a girl and the other being a boy. They were Yukari's younger siblings, they were known as Miko Tokoyami and Akira Tokoyami. Both being the age of 9, having Dark Brown hair and Amber eyes. While being the youngest, the two are best at socializing.

"Hey! I said I was going to wake Big Bro Yuki up." Miko stated, while pointing at Akira.

"No! I was going to wake him up!" Akira yelled, while pointing back at Miko.

Before they were about to argue. Mitsuko latched onto their shirts, stopping the two from doing further actions.

"Now now, children. You know it's not polite to point fingers at someone. " Mitsuko said.

"Hmph!" they both said in unison.

Mitsuko then put down the two troublemakers onto the floor.

"Mommy! I said I was going to do it." Miko whined.

"Sorry Cupcake. Maybe next time, alright?" Mitsuko said.

"Okay..." Miko said in defeat.

"Honey!" Just then, a voice called out from downstairs.

"Yes Dear?" Mitsuko called back.

"Breakfast is done! Come and get the coffee while it's still hot!" The voice said

"Okay, thank you Dear!" Mitsuko said, ending their conversation.

"Come now, you two. Yukari needs to change into his uniform. While he does that, why don't we head down and eat. Alright?" Mitsuko said.

"But Mom!" They both whined in unison.

"What was that?" Mitsuko asked, smiling while glaring at the two.

"N-Nothing!" they both quickly answered, while running out of the room.

As Mitsuko walked out of the room, she looked back at Yukari. She then smiled and winked at him before closing the door, leaving him curious of why she did that. Getting up from his bed, he started stripping down to his underwear. After doing so, he picks up his uniform and starts putting it on.

As Yukari was done putting on the uniform, he opens the door to find someone waiting for him.

"Took you long enough!" the person said.

The person right in front of him was, Yukio Tokoyami. The age of 15, seven months younger than Yukari. She has shoulder length Black hair and Amber eyes. She was never the loner type, always with someone. Despite her attitude.

"N-Not like I was waiting for you or anything!" Yukio quickly stated.

She is like a diamond in the rough. Not at its true potential, but shiny enough to see it.

"What are you s-staring at?! Idiot!" Yukio said, while crossing her arms.

"...Sorry..." Yukari managed to speak out, lowering his head.

Yukio felt slightly guilty from her actions, before snapping back to the conversation.

"C-Come on! Let's head down before Mom gets worried!" She said, while heading down the stairs.

"...Okay..." Yukari said, raising his head.

He heads down after her, but not before having the sudden urge to look behind him. Doing so, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Just the same boring walls they see every other day.

He shook the feeling off, finding out nothing caused it. Nothing else to do, he heads down.

After reaching the end of the stairs, he headed straight towards the bathroom. He knocked on the door, hoping nobody was there. Much to his dimay, there was.

"In a minute!" the person in the bathroom said.

Now it's was Yukari's turn to play the waiting game. While he was waiting, Mitsuko's head pops out from around the corner.

"There you are Sweetie! I was worried if you went back to bed." Mitsuko said, while sighing in relief.

After she said that, the bathroom door opens revealing a boy.

"Oh. It was you, wasn't it?" The boy asked.

Yukari nodded in confirmation.

The boy who questioned Yukari, was his older Brother. Toshiro Tokoyami. The age of 17. Toshiro has ear length Black hair and Navy Blue eyes. Their Brotherly love is seen throughout the years. Having a strong bond between the two, means that they will have each other's backs.

"Were you waiting long?" Toshiro asked, while rinsing his hair with a towel.

"..No.. ..it wasn't that long.." Yukari answered.

"..May I?.." Yukari asked, pointing at the bathroom.

"Oh. Yeah, go ahead." Toshiro said.

Yukari went into the bathroom, he closed the door, and locked it. Toshiro felt uneasy all of a sudden. He looked around him, only to find a pouting Mitsuko around the corner.

"W-What's wrong?" Toshiro stuttered from his Mother's aura

"You forgot to tell him about it." Mitsuko said, still pouting.

"Oh Y-Yeah, I forgot about that." Toshiro said, remembering what he was going to do.

Mitsuko pops her head back in the dining area. Took a minute before Yukari came out. He was confused about Toshiro still being here.

"..Did you.. ..forget something?.." Yukari asked him.

"No, I stayed here to talk to you about something." Toshiro said.

Yukari looked at him with curiosity, giving Toshiro more pressure than he already had.

"Y-You know what? How about after breakfast. Sound good?" Toshiro stuttered from the pressure.

Yukari nodded in acknowledgment.

Yukari walked away from Toshiro and into the dining area. Toshiro sighed in relief, before acknowledging the small figurine that he towered over.

"Oi!" The figurine yelled, making Toshiro yelp from the sudden voice.

Toshiro looked towards the direction of the voice, just to see Miko with her hands on her hips.

"What?" He said, not getting an answer from Miko.

We cut back to Yukari walking towards the table. The aroma of pancakes roamed the air. He took an empty seat at the table, right in front of him was a stack of three pancakes.

He grabs the fork by his plate ready to dig in. But before he could, somebody called out to him.

"So Kiddo, how do you feel about going to high school?" The person asked Yukari.

The person was none other than his Father, Seito Tokoyami. he has Short Dark Brown hair and Navy Blue eyes. He was married into the family. For someone around the age of 32, he acts too damn old.

"...Okay... ...I think..." Yukari answered, scratching his head.

"Well, back in my day. I used to-"

Yukari didn't bother to listen to his Father's story. He just wanted to eat his pancakes. Looking down, he saw his stack of two pancakes.

'Wait. Wasn't there three pancakes?' Yukari thought, before shrugging from his thoughts.

As Yukari was about to eat, he was cut off again by Mitsuko.

"Yuki, Sweetie. Did Toshiro already tell you?" She questioned.

"..No, he... ...said after breakfast..." Yukari answered.

"Oh, did he now?" Mitsuko said, while her eyebrow twitched from the information.

Just then, Toshiro walks in with Miko.

"Well, speak of the devil and he shall appear." Mitsuko quoted, getting the attention of Toshiro.

"You're on your own." Miko said, patting his leg.

Yukari didn't want to listen to their conversation, he just wanted to eat some pancakes. He looked down again to see his only pancake, alone.

'Huh? Someone just stole my other pancake.' He thought, looking around for the culprit.

"U-Umm, Yukari?" Yukio said, gaining the attention of Yukari.

"Sorry for my behavior this morning." Yukio added.

Yukari gave her the thumbs up.

He looked down to his plate once more, only to see nothing but leftover crumbs. Who ever did this, has experience.

As Yukari was questioning himself. The other side of the table, the culprit came up from underneath. Unbeknownst to the culprit, Mitsuko saw everything that occurred. She decided not say anything.

Back to Yukari, he just sat there with a blank expression. Just then, somebody called out to him.

"Oh my. Did your pancakes get stolen?" The person beside him, said.

The said person was his oldest sister, Akio Tokoyami. The age of 17, she has elbow length Black hair and Navy Blue eyes. She's the top student of the school, so basically everyone knows her name. (yay, more introductions...)

"Say, 'Ahh'." Akio said, while shoving pieces of her pancakes into Yukari's mouth.

Let's just say, three people weren't happy at Akio stunt.

"Oh, look at the time! It's time to get ready!" Mitsuko stated.

"She's right, Kiddos. It's about 11 minutes until the Entrance Ceremony starts." Seito added.

Unbeknownst to Yukari. Akio gave Akira, a 1000 yen bill.

"I'm ready." Said Akio.

"So am I!" Yukio added

Akio and Yukio got up from their seats and walked towards the front door. They waved at their family, before walking out the house.

"...I still need to get ready..." Yukari stated, getting up from his seat

"Don't worry, Sweetie! I already made you, your lunch." Mitsuko said, pulling out a bento.

Yukari grabs the bento and tries to leave, only to see Mitsuko get in front of him.

"Sweetie. Not to be mean, but you look like you were thrown down to the floor." Mitsuko stated, making Yukari look at himself.

"Here, let me help you." She offered.

She tucked his shirt under his pants, buttoned up his blazer, before finally fixing his tie.

"There you go." Mitsuko said, dusting off Yukari's shoulders.

Yukari hugged her to show his appreciation, making Mitsuko hug him back. She ruffled his hair, before kissing his forehead.

"Time to go Sweetie." She said, walking towards the front door.

Yukari walked after her. He felt good about today, it's been going well.

"You coming?" Toshiro said.

"..Didn't you leave?.." Yukari asked.

"I chose to stay. So, you coming or what?" Said Toshiro.

Yukari nodded his head.

As they were about to leave, Miko tugged on Yukari's blazer.

"Big Bro Yuki," She said, making Yukari listen. "Are you going to be okay today?"

Yukari thought, before giving her the thumbs up.

"Okay then..." She sighed in relief.

"Come on Yuki!" Toshiro shouted.

Yukari walked out the door, not before waving at them as they waved back. They then started their walk, towards the school.

"..Where did-"

"The girls go? They already went ahead." Toshiro said, finishing Yukari's question.

"..So.." Yukari said, getting the attention of Toshiro. "..What were you going to tell me?.."

"Oh, yeah. Forgot about that." Toshiro said.

"Dad has been wandering about, whose going to take over his place in the company." Said Toshiro.

"..That's all?.." Yukari asked.

"What do you mean, 'That's all?' ?!" Toshiro yelled.

"..You made it sound like someone died.." He said, making Toshiro think about the tone of his voice this morning.

"That's my bad..." Toshiro sighed in defeat.

"Hey, Yuki-kun!" A voice called out, making the two boys jump in surprise.

The person running towards the two was Yukari's childhood friend, Makoto Tsushimi. Being around the age of Yukari, she has Violet hair and Violet eyes. They met at a playground, where Yukari hidden himself. They been friends ever since then. (no backstory yet)

"And Toshiro-senpai?" Makoto said.

"Well. If you don't want me here, you could've just said so..." Toshiro said with a blank expression.

"A-Ah! No, wait! that's not what I meant!" Makoto said, waving her hands in denial.

"...He's just messing with you..." Yukari said.

"You should have seen your face! It was so priceless!" Toshiro spoke, while laughing.

"J-Just for that, you are now my least favorite senpai!" Makoto stated with a embarrassed blush on her face.

"...Back to our conversation..." Yukari spoke. "...Did you need something?..."

"No. I came here to ask you, if I can walk with you." She answered.

"...Go ahead..." Yukari answered.

"Yuki! We got 6 minutes left, before it starts! We gotta haul ass if we wanna make it!" Toshiro shouted, looking at his watch.

Yukari and Makoto look at each other, before deciding to run.

"Are you listening, Yuki?" Toshiro turns around to find nobody there.

He looks towards the way the school is, to see the two to be said 'Hauling Ass'.

"Huh? Wait for me!!" Toshiro shouted, running after the two.

As that was happening, a familiar figure watched them from afar. He then walked backwards to the dark alley, not before smiling at Yukari's and Toshiro's antics.
