It seems that life can take you to alot of places Happiness, Romance, Tragedy, Anger, Torment etc. but for me and my little sister i we almost experience all in the span of two years My name is Riku Takanashi and the girl holding my hand is my little sister Eri Takanashi our mother died 1 year and 2 months ago while working as a soilder in America and our father died in a car crash 3 months ago while drunk. So me and my sister are living on our own. We returned to our hometown of Hikarizaka today 2 and a half months ago after his death and we bought an a apartment here 4 weeks ago and got our stuff after that our apartment was all set up furniture, beds, tv etc. during those i finally got hired for a job at bakery it was owned by Akio and Sanae Furukawa and they have a daughter named Nagisa who i don't see at all

"Hey kid can you sweep up the shop" Akio said with calmness in his voice

"Yes Mr. Furukawa i get right to it" i said with a smile

"Just call me Akio kid you're family no need to call me mr. and just call my wife Sanae" he said as he patted me on the head

"Thank You that means alot" i said smiling because i was really really happy

When i first started this job i was kinda nervous because i barley know anybody but the Furukawa's are really nice and even though i only started working and only knew them for only 3 weeks they treated me like family with open arms and made me feel warm inside. It was only a day left before my senior year starts and after work i went home and saw Eri sleeping on the couch with the tv as i turn it off and and picked her up and put her on the bed

"Eri i know things have never gone too well in these past couple of years but i'll do the best i can to take care of so you can live a happy life i promise as a big brother and a guardian sleep well little sister" i said as i kiss her on the forehead and walked quietly so i wouldn't wake her up and went to my room i put on a t-shirt and sweatpants and went to bed as a new day comes.

I usually wake up earlier that Eri so i can make us breakfast and lunch but i forgot to go grocery shopping so i was only able to make breakfast for us and lunch for Eri

"I guess I'll go to the Furukawa Bakery and get something for lunch" i thought to myself and hear a happy voice call for me

"Onii-san Good Morning" she runs and hugs me with all her might and i just smiled from the sight of my beloved sister

"Hey Eri are you ready for your first day of school?" i said still smiling and she lets go of me

"Yes and im ready to make lots of new friends" she chirped with confidence and happiness

"Ok let's eat breakfast and ill walk you to school" i said as we ate breakfast and talk like we normally do after that we walked to her school and her friends that she mad 1 week ago was waiting for her and she said

See you at home Onii-San she said giving me a hug and went to her friends

Have a great first day ok i said very happily

"You too" she yelled as she left and i headed over to the bakery and i thought

"She's really holding herself well after what our father...did" and i started to tremble and almost broke into tears but i thought

"No! those days are behind me father is gone and im here taking care of Eri and supporting her and protecting her always" and then i was at the bakery which there stood Akio

Welcome to... oh hey kid what do you need he said blankly

"Actually Akio i need something for lunch i ran out groceries i was only able my sister hers so do you have anything" i said kinda desperately Akio look around and a circle of bread that was wrapped

Whats this i asked with confusion

"This is a anpan this is Nagisa's favorite food" he a small smile

"Oh you're daughter sorry i barley even when i work here or when i see pictures of her on the wall well ok see you after school" i said when i was about to leave but Akio stopped me

Kid before i forget could you talk to Nagisa and even be her friend she missed most of her senior year and had to repeat hey year also all her old friends left i know its to much to ask but... i interuppted him

"I'll do it. you don't have to say anything else id love to help you and Sanae out ill be friends with Nagisa" knowing i myself barely had any friends it be a great opportunity to help myself as well as Nagisa

"Thank You kid oh and if you're any good at baseball id love to face you in a match someday" he said with a competitive smirk on his face

"Yes that be great and yes i've played baseball since juinor high all the way to my to the end of my junior year of high school" i said with confidence and Akio responded

"Ok someday we'll face off see you after school kid" he said with a thumbs up

"I said nothing but smiled back and gave him a wave in return" as i left the bakery and head to the school and thinking what will the future hold for me and my own sister.
