Daughters of the Fox and Owl

Prologue 00

Her raven locks covers her face as she slowly sits up from her bed. The screen blurred her vision, her hazel eyes blinded by the brightness. She had been woken up by the sound of her phone vibrating repeatedly, never-stopping, and it had gotten to her last nerves. Once again, her phone buzzes. Lazily looking to the screen, her face scrunches in annoyance at the name of the caller. In her mind, a huge debate was taken place, and so early in the morning too: she could either answer the call or she could throw her phone across the room and go back to sleep.

At the second to last ring, she answered, thinking it'd be best to avoid getting scolded at. "What the hell do ya want, germ? And there better be a good reason for it." The heaviness of Hyogo's dialect dripped from her mouth as she spoke, warming up her throat after waking up.

A loud, singsonging voice ranged in her ears as the person on the other line spoke.

"Ssaakuussaaa! Goood morning~!"

"Imma hit end now-." The girl was clearly not in the mood by the sound of the person's antics, ready to hit the end button but was interrupted.

"-aaahhh~, wait!"

"Then what?"

"Today's our team's hangout day, remember?"

Feeling laziness overcoming her, she groaned and ended the call. Slowly, she got up from her bed and did her morning routine: making her bed neatly, showering and brushing her teeth, picking an outfit after checking the weather, styling her hair and deciding which mask to wear. Looking into her mirror one last time, her beauty birthmark visible above her left eye, she grabbed her backpack after packing for the day and headed downstairs; where there she was met with her dads: one was making breakfast while the other was setting the table.

Getting ready to leave, as breakfast was not appetizing her stomach, she stops when hearing someone cleared their throat rather loudly. Sighing, she turns around, seeing a male identical as her: raven locks and a beauty birthmark visible, but above his right eye. "And just where do you think you're going?"

She lowers her mask, making her voice in earshot instead of muffled. "Uh, out?"

The other male pops in, a look of hurt on his face. He and she bares resemblance of their hazel eyes, though in retrospect, the only physical resemblance they have. "Don'tcha wanna eat with us?"

"Don't feel like it."

"But-!"

The raven haired male shoves a bag of onigiri to his daughter's face, making her confused. "-at least feed that owl outside our front yard."

"Oh yeah, I thought somethin' looked familiar when I took out the trash earlier."

"What owl? We have an owl?" Her father gives the girl a knowing look. The sudden wake-up call popped into mind. "Oh, right. That owl."

"Make sure to sanitize at all times. And-."

The yellow dyed haired male ushers his daughter out, his stomach wanting to eat. "-what he means is: be safe and have a great time out there."

Taking the bag, she waves goodbye to her dads and heads outside, being graced with a humanized owl, sitting on top of the tree-literally. The sun shone on her friend's white hair, shining radiantly. Walking up towards the tree, she glances up, seeing her best friend napping. "Oi. Get up, ya germ, else imma leave ya here."

Her friend stirs in her sleep, slowly but surely stretching her body, shaking off any sleepiness. Looking down, she smiles widely, climbing down the tree. "Goood morning, Saakusaa~!"

"Here, I ain't hungry so eat it."

"You sure? There's 6 of them in here."

Heading out towards the train station, the walk from here to there was quite the trek. Halfway, the raven haired girl extends her hand outward to the other female, now wanting to eat. Stopping by a park bench, they sat down and ate in silence, watching people comes and goes. -ding- The white haired girl grabs out her phone and looks to who messaged her.

"Ah! Senpai! Over there! I see them!"

Both girls stopped in front of their friend group to catch their breaths: one was utterly exhausted while the other appeared just fine.

"About time, you two! Come on, the movie's about to start!"

The raven haired girl looks up to see a brunette haired girl and the other female, standing just a few feet away from her, waiting for her to catch her breath. The other girls were busy inside the cinema, buying the group tickets and snacks.

The brunette haired girl smiles at both girls, before urging them to follow her and the others inside. "Nice timing, Aria. And I'll get a cup of cold water for you, Miyuki. Unless if you already have a water bottle in that backpack of yours inside."

The white haired girl, Aria, laughs aloud. "As if Sakusa forgot that."

Miyuki, the raven haired girl, squirts out some hand sanitizers and thoroughly cleaned her hands. "For once, the germ is actually right about somethin'."
