Stacks of boxes sat in the corner of the room. Walls that once held pictures were now bare. The place which young Ichika Kusaka once called home, was no longer. Now, he had to leave the place he called home because his mother had decided to remarry without telling him. He was going to meet the man he would soon be calling father, as well as being introduced to a new older brother. A new family that he didn't want. Ichika was happy with just him and his mother. He did see any reason for there to be anyone else.

"Ichika! Are you ready to go dear?" Rei Kusaka entered her six year-old son's room to find her son moping in the corner of his room. "Darling, what's wrong?"

"Mommy, why did you have to remarry without telling me? I don't want to leave our home. I like this place. I don't want to leave." Ichika wrapped his arms around his mother's shoulders as tears started to fill his eyes.

"Ichika, your father left us without warning and you need a father figure in your life. Mr. Matsumoto makes me happy and I'm sure you're going to like him. Plus, you get to have an older brother too. Someone you can play with when you get lonely. Please Ichika, give them a chance. For me. Can you do that?"

"Alright... I'll try." Ichika sniffed as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"That's my good boy. Now, would you help me take the rest of these boxes down to the moving truck. He have to leave soon."

"Okay."

Ichika gathered up the last little bit of his things that had yet to be packed. After everything was finally packed up into the moving trucks there was only one thing left to do. Say good-bye to the place he once called home.

"Good-bye home. I'm moving to a new place but I won't forget you. I hope you're a good home for the next family who's lucky enough to call you their own."

Meanwhile at the Matsumoto home, Denki Matsumoto wasn't having much luck with his own son, Sora, unlike Rei had with Ichika.

"Father, you must be out of your mind about getting remarried, and without even telling me!" Ten year-old Sora snapped at his father about the arrival of his new stepmother and stepbrother.

"Sora, I already went through this with you. Rei will make a good mother figure for you and having a younger brother will give you a chance to show me how responsible you can be. I just want to be happy. After your mother died, it's been tough for the both of us. So way can't you just understand that we don't have to lonely in the end?" Denki went to wrap his arms around his son but he was just pushed away.

"I'll be up in my room. You can call me down when they get here." Sora pushed past his father and made his way up stairs to his room.

"Sora, please wait." Denkit listened as his son stomped up to his room and then slammed the door behind him.

"That boy really loved his mother. Yuki, what am I suppose to do with that boy? I'm doing this all on my own, I don't know what to do."

"Sir." The Matsumoto butler suddenly walked up next to his master.

"Yes?"

"Miss Rei and her son, young master Ichika are here."

"Thank you, please bring their things in."

"Yes sir."

Rei and Ichika came walking up to the giant house. Ichika stopped for a moment and did some reconnaissance around the house. Scooping out the entire outside of the house, Ichika noticed a figure standing in one of the second floor windows.

"Ichika, come on honey." Rei called to her son.

"Coming mommy." Ichika hurried to catch up with his mother.

"Rei... Ichika, welcome to your new home. I hope you'll be confrontable here."

Denki welcomed the new members of his family to his home.

"Hello Denki. Ichika say hello." Rei nudged her son to say hello to his new father.

"Hello." Ichika shyly shook Denki's hand while hiding behind his mother.

"It's nice to finally meet you Ichika. Your mother has told me all sorts of thing about you."

"About me?"

"Yes, don't worry, it was nothing bad. Now, come in and make yourselves at home."

The inside of the Matsumoto family home was so beautiful, much nicer then Ichika's old home. High ceilings with crystal chandeliers, Ruby red walls with gold trimmings and marble stair cases.

"Wow..."

"See Ichika, it's not as bad as you thought." Rei smiled down at her son.

"Ichika's room is up the stairs, the first door on the right."

"Thank you sir."

Ichika went running up the marble stair case to find a door with his name on it. A gold plated name tag on a maple wood door. Before opening the door to his new room Ichika had this feeling that he was being watched. Looking down the hall, he noticed Sora peeking through the crack of his door.

"Ummm... hello. My name is Ichika Kusaka. My mom and I just moved in. Are you Sora by any chance? Mr. Matsumoto son? My new brother?"

When Sora heard the word brother, he couldn't help but feel angry. Without say a word he slammed the door, making Ichika jump.

"Guess he doesn't like me. Maybe with some time he'll give me a chance, like how mommy wants me to give them a chance."

Ichika opened the door to his room to see that it was three times bigger then the one he had before. It was pretty empty, but soon it will be filled with his toys and things. A sudden urge of excitement.

"I guess living here wont be so bad."
