My phone started to ring as I finished cleaning up the apartment. An unknown caller. I made an uncertain face as I checked the time. I wondered where my sister was while I answered the phone. "Hello?" I asked as I wiped down the kitchen counter.

"Hello, uhhh... This is Yuki's sister, Aiko?" An unfamiliar scruffy voice asked into the phone. 

I furrowed my eyebrows and pulled back my phone a bit to look at the screen. Huh? I brought the phone back to my ear and said, "Uh... Yes? Why? Where is she?"

"Something happened and she won't mo-"

"What? What happened? Where is she?" I bursted out as I rushed to the front door to put on my shoes. I heard other guys' voices in the background, I assume trying to figure out what to do with my sister.

"We're at the par-"

"Okay, I'm on my way," I said, cutting him off. Goodness, what happened now?  I thought to myself as I ended the call and rushed out of the apartment, locking it behind me. I made my way to the park quickly, worried sick.

As I made my way to the park, I realized that I don't even know how the guy who called me looks like. I huffed as I pulled my phone out to call him back. I searched my surrounding as the phone rang. I heard another phone start to ring and I followed the sound. It led me to a group of guys, some sitting while others stood. I hung up as I got close. One of the guys complained as the ringtone cut short. "That was rude!"

"Yuki?" I called out as I approached. The guys looked up at me at the sound of my voice. Eh? I made a face and took a step back. What the heck is going on here?

"Nee-san?" I heard my sister call back out. I found her in the middle of the loose huddle and I frowned when I saw her covered in some guy's jacket. Where's Yami? I thought to myself. I pushed my way past the guys and knelt down next to her.

"I covered her up with my jacket," one of guys spoke up. I looked up at him and thanked him. He nodded and adjusted his glasses quietly. He averted his eyes and focused his attention somewhere else as if he couldn't be bothered by the whole situation. 

I turned my attention back to my sister and asked, "Where's Yami?"

"He..." She started off saying before she started to cry again.

I watched her and sighed, holding her to me and kissing her head. I looked up at the group again.

"Um, I'm Akaashi Keiji. I'm the one that called you," one spoke up. He stood tall with such elegance. My inner self felt like I was being blinded by such beauty. "I was going to answer but you hung up before I could."

"Which was very rude of yo-" a two toned hair guy piped in before Akaashi slapped the back of his head, almost knocking him over his heels. "Sorry.." He muttered with a pout as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm Bokuto though," he said as he turned his head away, still pouting. He rocked slightly on his feet, swatting next to the Akaashi. 

"Tsukishima," the one with the glasses said.

The one knelt down on the other side of Yuki introduced himself as Kuroo Tetsurou. I recognized him from school, but I'm not sure if he remembers me. I only started in the middle of last semester anyway, so there's not much time to become familiar with one another. On the other hand, I do sit right in front of him.
