I remember it. Clear as day. The day that everyone's lives changed... Four years ago. The day my family lost someone important. My father.
"Hey! Captain did you hear!" Akari our teams sniper said to me bouncing on her feet. She's the youngest in our team but powerful.
"Akari no need to yell she's right beside you" Aiko said, our teams operator and the oldest.
"Sorry Aiko" Akari replied sadly.
Currently my team and I are sitting in my bedroom at home. Our excuse... a team meeting. I'm seated on my bed, Aiko is sitting on my spinning chair at my desk backwards, Akari is jumping up and down near my bookshelf. Hiroto and Haruto our teams resident gunners and twins are sitting on the floor side by side at my table. If you're wondering we decided to drop the honorifics because we are such good friends and are a team.

"What were you gonna tell me Akari?" I asked
"Oh! That's right!" Akari started "I heard while we were away Border gained a new member"
'Huh?' I thought confused 'Isn't that normal?'
"But that's a regular thing Akari" Aiko stated "Nothing special"
"You didn't let me finish!" Akari pouted and mumbled
Hiroto and Haruto looked at each other and sweat dropped.
"I'm sorry please continue Akari" I spoke up
Instantly, she became cheerful again "Well I heard a rumor that this new member is actually a Neighbor"
We all froze up.
"Oi Akari!" Aiko snapped "What are you talking about!? A Neighbor in Border ridiculous!"
"Actually we heard something similar" The twins spoke in sync.
'A Neighbor... In Border...' I thought 'I know they aren't lying by their body language'
I smirked "I can already tell things are about to get interesting"
We sat there in silence for a few minutes until my door was slammed open by none other than my younger brother Haru.
"Haru?" I ask in surprise
He rushed over to me and climbed into my lap looking up at me "Big sis! Mommy made food for everyone!"
"Food!" Akari cheered.
"Let's go down and eat" I say picking up Haru.
We all got up and went down stairs, with a hungry Akari leading the way. When we got down stairs I instantly smelled Onigiri and Tempura. I spot my younger sister Yui sitting down at the table already, and my mother in the kitchen grabbing glasses. Placing Haru down I walk into the kitchen to assist her.
