"Come on Lidya, hurry up. We are gonna be late." I shouted from the corridor of Lidya's classroom on second floor. I finished my art class few minutes ago and now I'm waiting for my best friend Lidya. She's two years older than me but honestly it doesn't feel like that. We have been together since forever. We're a group of three me, Lidya and Anni.

Anni is aunt Lia's carbon copy and the chaotic one in our trio. Lidya is aunt Kristina's daughter and cousin sister of that evil tyrant, the bane of my existence Vaughn. I swear to God, they're like world's apart from each other. On one hand, Lidya is like my soul sister, Vaughn on the other hand, is such a pain in ass.

Vaughn is aunt Sasha's son, unfortunately. I don't understand how could someone like her give birth to such an arrogant bastard. He picks on me every chance he gets, maybe it's just for fun but he does it 10 folds to piss off my dad. He do it deliberately, such a prick. If it's not for our parents friendship, my dad would have punished him by now but of course he stays vary of Vaughn.

Dad says, Vaughn is a menace just like his dad. But I don't think Uncle Kirill could be called a menace, he's our pakhan, leader of our organization. And he's the most stable, level headed mab I've ever seen in my life. I don't know who did Vaughn took after.

I've been waiting for Lidya for past 15 minutes. It's training day, today and I'm gonna stay at her house because mom dad have gone to meet grandparents for 2 days. So that indirectly means, lots of training and sparring with aunt Sasha. One of my favourite pastimes is training with aunt Sasha and mom.

Mom has taught me fencing and knife art, whereas aunt Sasha teaches, me and Lidya, punching and other physical exercises which without any doubt will benefit us one way or another.

My dad is one of the pillar in the organisation that means he's super strong and well I need to be strong too for him and my family. It's in my genes too because my mom is no less. She's yakuza princess, mafia organization from Japan and She's such an amazing fencer. She weilds sword like it's a part of her body. She has taught the art to me as well but since I can't bring a full flashing sword to school as a kid, I changed my tactics a little and learnt using knife as deadly weapon.

I'm born in this world and it's a place where you need a weapon on you all the time, because you're life is not normal and definitely not predictable.

"Just a few minutes more Aiko, I'm coming." Lidya shouted back and brought me out of my daze.

For two days, I've to avoid that tyrant but let's focus on good side, I'll get to spend time with my favourite people.

Since I'm a single child, I spend most of my time with Lidya. If Vaughn thinks I stole his sister, I don't care. He has niko and jer anyways. Their trio is tryanical i swear.

Jer is Anni's oni chan, he's older than all of us but he insists (that's a rare) that we call him jer. Though I don't think he has a single kind bone in his body, he's just like Uncle Adrian even worse. I mean everytime he's around it's like he's marking his territory. He's like authority figure for those two of his friends. Niko and Vaughn.

Vaughn is youngest of them all. There's only a year difference between him and Niko but sometimes when his mask slips, he seems dangerous of them all. The occurrence is very rare super rare but since I've known him all my life, I know when he slips. I always watch him.

Niko is like a mad bull, he is energetic to a fault but he's fun to be with. Thanks to our dads being friends otherwise he'd have bullied us for fun and he wouldn't have realised. I'm telling you that boy, he has some screws loose in his head.
